If you do the homework on UFO statistics, you'll find that millions of people the world over witness unconventional craft on a regular basis. To say that thousands of sighting all over the world are all attributed to U-2 and SR-71 spy planes or other such projects in these times really doesn't address the accrued data.
If you do your homework, you will find that 99% of UFO statistics are completely made up.
Then we should assume that statistic is completely made up?
Had you done your homework you'd already know that you should.
Yes, absolutely! As drak correctly pointed out, it was a joke. But, I am also pointing out that there is no real "UFO statistics" based on "accrued data". Here is a summary of "the data".

He may be, but unfortunately he is the last person left that gives Ufology a fighting chance to not be taken as an utter joke.

He cries there is no ontology in ufology as if that is a bad thing. Perhaps we should leave metaphysics out of the conversation altogether and deal more realistically with UFOs and alien contact, using phenomenology rather than ontology. I don't see how philosophical debates could possibly matter in what appears to be a colonization and genetic manipulation of the human race.
This article is about ontology in information science. For the study of the nature of being, see Ontology
In computer science and information science, an ontology is a formal naming and definition of the types, properties, and interrelationships of the entities that really or fundamentally exist for a particular domain of discourse. It is thus a practical application of philosophical ontology, with a taxonomy
An ontology compartmentalizes the variables needed for some set of computations and establishes the relationships between them.
The fields of artificial intelligence, the Semantic Web, systems engineering, software engineering, biomedical informatics, library science, enterprise bookmarking, and information architecture all create ontologies to limit complexity and to organize information. The ontology can then be applied to problem solving.
Vallee asks such ridiculous questions, like "How can we use insects to predict the appearances of UFOs?"
How pointless and absurd.
And perhaps most importantly, how seriously can we take him as a UFO /UAP researcher when, after forty years of UFO research, he is still unwilling to state that alien beings are inside some of these ships?
Not very seriously at all, I'm afraid.

I'm starting to think he's peddling disinfo with all of these other alternatives to the ETH. I just came across this article authored by him called 5 arguments against the extraterrestrial origin of UFOs. The arguments he's using to substantiate these alternatives are so full of crap I can't believe the serious researcher would buy any of it at all. Unfortunately, there are a good deal of people here on this site and elsewhere who gobble it up as if they were starving and haven't eaten for days.

Oh, and thanks for that Vallee video, since I stole it from your other thread.. That's really good stuff. I wish more people would pay attention to what he is trying to do with the data collection and not get so hung up on the ETH.
Yes, if only we could pay more attention to Vallee's plans for data collection and not get so hung up about the aliens that have been abducting us for the past fifty years.
