NBC UFOs Special Rehash Dulls Believers and Scoffers
New York AP reports NBC aired a one hour special on UFOs titled UFOs Do You Believe it is a dull survey of saucers believers and scoffers. NICAP and Dr J Allen Hynek are featured along with eyewitness accounts, but the program fails to implicate new evidence or Project Blue Book officials. A reserve pilot and ex-astronaut James McDivitt provide the only seemingly credible sighting, though linked to a tabloid prize controversy. The reviewer predicts high ratings but suspects renewed UFO reports will follow.
