U.S. To Declassify Hundreds Of Millions Of Documents

[eburacum]

to my knowledge, you are the first to suggest that COOPER was insane...

David Rudiak here quotes someone who reportedly impugned Col Cooper's mental health;

A year ago I visited Edward's AFB and looked up the base
historian, who talked a lot about his PhD and thought very
highly of himself as a military historian. snip-

He knew vaguely about Cooper's claims, but kept insinuating that
Cooper must be mentally unbalanced. He obviously knew nothing
about the incident being reported in the papers or the
corroboration of Cooper's account by the range photographers and
the range director. No, Cooper was nuts and it never happened.

I have to say I take everything Rudiak says with a large pinch of salt.

Curious. But we don't know what the historian's intent was. We need to be careful. Sometimes, a respected person is revealed to be unbalanced/a hoaxer (a recent example with this Korean biologist). But to reach such a conclusion, we need to rely on more evidence. In COOPER's case, we are still a far cry from it.

But you're still willing to conclude that he saw something anomalous without any such evidence? Occam's razor has to come in somewhere.
