“The first responsibility of science is to tell the truth” argues academic Alexander Wendt. We don’t know what UFOs are

We are not only ignorant of this phenomenon, but also stupid not to use science to try to find out. Alexander Wendt received his Ph.D. in political science from the University of Minnesota. He subsequently taught at Yale, Dartmouth, and the University of Chicago before moving to Ohio State University.
