His "single-minded search" includes endless evidence-free speculation, such as Oumuamua being an interstellar craft and small metal nodules being from a crashed ship.

How many aliens do you have to have successfuly hunted to be in the lead right now?
Is the number still 0?
Completely off-topic... but that thumbnail is terrifying.
Ayyliums almost always:
-
Human sized (perfect for fucking or anal probing)
-
Come to collect "seeds" and usually from men.
-
Fly ships that for some reason have navigation lights or bright lights even though they are supposedly trying to hide their presence
-
Now that smart phones are ubiquitous, "evidence" of ayyliums have shifted to super sekrit "testimonies" from totally not grifters "experts" instead of grainy footage and photos.
Story is paywalled unfortunately.
The true believer ufo community relies heavily on appeals from authority. Aircraft pilots are ‘trained observers’ who are infallible and Loeb pulls his authority as a supposed expert from his scientific background. That skinwalker alien tv show is a prime example of the fallacy of an appeal from authority. Thankfully many of these ‘experts’ get thoroughly debunked by a retired video game programmer. Methinks the professor does profess too much.
