Bruce Maccabee, a retired Navy optical physicist, and UFO researcher, is one who questions the U-2's role in the frequency of UFO sightings.
"Their claim is straightforward, that, once the U-2 started flying, more than 50 percent of UFO sightings were actually of the high-flying U-2 (spy aircraft). But if you look at the actual statistics, the number of sightings reported per month, for three years before and after, you find there's no big increase as a result of the U-2 flights," Maccabee, author of "The FBI-CIA-UFO Connection," told The Huffington Post.
"Oddly enough, according to the official government's Condon report statistics, there were 430 [UFO] sightings in 10 months before the U-2 started flying, and 430 during the 10 months after. That astonished me as much as anybody else. To claim that more than 50 percent of sightings [were reported] after the U-2 started flying, is a complete canard."
