Compromised

 

Is Avi Loeb "compromised"? It seems he finally decided to debunk a pro-UFO research paper...one that he isn´t behind himself! It just happens to be the Swedish Nordita papers about so-called transients, which (at least at first glance) looks like the best evidence for UFOs ever published. 

"The Angry Astronaut" (the content-creator behind the video linked above) is right that it´s somewhat absurd that Loeb - who makes many "far out" statements - all of a sudden turns skeptic and gives short shrift to Villarroel´s research. My guess is that it isn´t a conspiracy, but simply (un)professional jealousy. Academic politics is a thing even on the fringes, it seems...
