But what those who say they "believe" the military has free-flying plate-free holograms, or time travel, or whatever, don't understand is the difference between physics and engineering.
indeed. which, to drag the topic back to david shayler, I am not sure why he has taken such a unique and unusual stance (a holographic plane hiding a missile), despite the lack of evidence for the technology, let alone lack of evidence that it was used on the day. he has stuck to facts that can be backed up on previous occasions, either with his own experience, or with evidence.
as far as I can see, there are 4 possible conclusions-
a) he has been fed a line, doesn't understand the physics, but likes the concept.
b) he is spreading disinformation.
c) he didn't actually say that, and the journalist lied.
d) it went down exactly like he said it did (so unlikely, in my opinion, that I am merely including this as a vague theoretical possibility. this is certainly not my opinion, let me be clear)
as I think he has a very sharp intelligent mind, and is clearly not 'bonkers', this comment of his has left me with a few question marks... I think it's between 'b' and 'c'...
