[Story] quotes from a study by a psychologist who concludes that "a goodly number of scientists are not only narrow-minded and dull, but also just stupid." And after citing several instances of scientists who manipulated their data, Story concludes: "Fabrication and fudging almost seems to be the order of the day in modern science." This provides Story with a comfortable rationale to explain why the scientific community is not impressed with the UFO evidence that he finds so impressive.

Although scientific methodology has shown its ability to cope with challenging mysteries ranging from subatomic particles to pulsars, Story says his book is intended "to demonstrate one overriding fact—namely, that science has its limits and can only go so far in explaining the UFO phenomenon at the present time. ...

This is the common bond that links such diverse phenomena as UFOs,
poltergeists, Sasquatches, N-rays, and "psychic phenomena." When their existence cannot be demonstrated using accepted scientific methodology, then clearly scientific methodology is fatally flawed and must be abandoned. [my emphasis]

If our planet is to survive, if social injustices are ever to be rectified, and if we are ever to have an ethical society, we must practice all forms of honesty. This includes distinguishing carefully between science and pseudoscience. Wild speculations in the guise of science and a collection of half-truths will only retard our progress.
