"So what is the problem? The problem is that Dolan appears to take all evidence at face value. He will quote Morris K. Jessup on an equal basis with Jacques Vallee. He will talk of Gray Barker on the same level as J. Allen Hynek. He puts Philip Corso at the same level as Jerome Clark. In other words, he does not seem to discriminate between sources. He considers them all valid. Rather than sifting through vast amounts of disinformation for the Truth, it’s more like he’s amassing a mound of evidence without regard to its veracity or corroboration. He doesn’t even allude to the possibility that there might be some problems with some of this evidence. The clowns are thrown in with the professors."
"The fourth problem is that Dolan appears to hang out with discredited people in the field. He shares the stage with people like Greer and Bassett. His theories dovetail nicely with the Exopolitics movement, a cargo cult if there ever was one. If you are known by the company you keep, this is bad news for Dolan...."

But CAN something like Blue Beam happen? Well, even a breakaway group, as I hypothesize about, would have its hands full trying to pull this off, I think. The logistics, as I see it, would be a nightmare. Assume it's an alien invasion scenario. Do they just create a hologram, like in V? Do they use it to blow up buildings like Independence Day? Will there be any attempt to provide evidence to an intensely skeptical global scientific community?

And have they realised yet that the world isn't just the USA?
One of the biggest problems I have with all these conspiracy theories is that they are always so USA-centric. Whereas in reality any alien visitors - friendly or hostile - would more likely head to either one of the more densely populated regions or else where communications and air traffic is highest. ie not North America.
