Keeping in Mind the Sources Cited,discuss the Credibility of the Claim(s)made

question 85

Short Answer

Keeping in mind the sources cited,discuss the credibility of the claim(s)made in the following passage:
"The UFOnauts are usually clothed in shiny,tight fitting,one piece suits,and in most reports seem able to breathe our air without difficulty.Telepathy seems involved in most contacts....If you are tired of the same old pseudoexplanations,official debunkings,and lame duck logic from quacks suffering megalomania,then you are invited to join the concerted efforts of the UFO Contact Center...."
-From a pamphlet,undated,issued in the 1980s by Aileen E.Edwards,director of UFO Contact Center International in Seattle,Washington
The "center" is a clearinghouse for those who have had contact with extraterrestrials to share their fears and insights without condemnation.Edwards herself has had such an experience,says the pamphlet,and now is reaching out to help people with similar stories.The language has a typical "us vs.them" flavor,with those who would offer a more coherent explanation labeled as "quacks";the assumption is that those who have certain experiences are best able to determine "what really happened." We admit to being quacks: We think Ms.Edwards may be a bit delusional.
