In his "last call to action" Pulliam states:

And if you do stumble across something that turns your head inside out and your heart upside down, take some deep breaths and remember: It's not a ghost, it's not bigfoot, it's not a space alien. It's a bird.

but it seems to me that people adopting that mentality were the cause of the kerfluffle in 2005.
