NOVA (2/27/96)

["Eric O. Simpson" <76653.1410@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

	All this talk about NBC's latest display of "tabloid science" (my word
for pseudoscience because these shows  present so called facts like National
Enquirer and other trashy tabloids) has been quite interesting.  Now I'd like to
add something else to the conversation.
	Last Tuesday (2/27/96), PBS aired an episode of NOVA concerning alien
abductions.  Now before you go raising your eyebrows about NOVA going
commercial, let me say this.  This program, I feel, is the way hot topics like
alien abductions and creationism should be dealt with on television.  The
program was entirely neutral, giving both sides of the arguement equal time
(including Carl Sagan for the anti- side) and making no conclusions.
	I would like to know if anybody else in Paleonet has seen this episode
and what you have to say?
