This following exerpt is from Stanton S. Friedman, MSc. Nuclear Physicist from the book: Flying Saucers & Science. It is a book I am currently reading. As I read the book, if I find anything else that is intreguing I will definately post it. Sorry if there are typos, I had to type it out myself.
QUOTE 4 Kinds of Science 1. Yes there is a lot of excellent science done by people who set up an experiment. They make measurements and then publish their results, after peer review, and describe their equipment, instruments, and activity in detail so that others can duplicate the work and, presumably, come to the same conclusions. Such science can be very satisfying, and certainly can continue to the advancement of knowledge. However, it is not the only kind of science. 2. A seond kind of science involves situations in which one cannot control all the variables, but can predict some. For example, I cannot prove that on occasion the moon comes directly between the sun and the earth and casts a shadow of darkness on the earth, because I cannot control the positions of the earth, moon or sun. What can be done is predicting the times when sun eclipses will happen and being ready to make observations when they occur. Hopefully the weather where I have my instruments will allow me to make lots of measurements. 3. A third kind of science involves events that can neither be predicted or controlled, but one can be ready to make measurements if something does happen. For example, an array of seismographs can be established to allow measurements to be made at several locations in the event of an earthquake. When I was at the university of Chicago, a block of nuclear emulsion was attached to a large balloon that would be released when a radiation detector indicated that a solar storm had occured (something we could neither produce nor predict). Somebody would rush to Stagg Field and release the balloon. When the balloon was retrieved, the emulsion would carefully be examined to measure the number, direction, velocity, and mass characteristics of particles unleashed by the sun. 4. Finally, there is a fourth kind of science, still using the rules to attack difficult problems. There are the events that involve intelligence, such as airplane crashes, murders, rapes, and automobile accidents. We do not know when or where they will occur, but we do know they will. In a typical year more than 40,000 Americans will be killed in automobile accidents. We don't know where or when, so rarely are TV cameras whirling when these events take place. But we can, after the fact, collect and evaluate evidence. We can determine if the driver had high levels of alcohol in his or her blood, whether the brakes failed, whether the visabily was poor, where a skid started, and so on. Observations of strange phenomena in the sky come under this catagory. - Stanton S. Friedman, MSc. Nuclear Physicist --------------------  |

Yes, I agree with Mr. Freidman.
