trying to cover it up with stories of crashed or landed UFOs
Has it occurred to you that's because the UFO believers dare not let this one die? One by one, just about all their cherished cases have wilted and died. This is supposedly the British Roswell, you know. And many have now lost faith in Roswell.The case is dead but it refuses to lie down.
If you'll permit me to quote myself, I said (18 years ago!) at the beginning of this very thread..Has it occurred to you that's because the UFO believers dare not let this one die?

IMHO, no matter what anyone says or does, like a slightly more dilute Roswell this story by now has it's own momentum. Even if incontrovertible proof were furnished one way or the other there will always be those who will believe otherwise.
It's the old skeptic vs. true believer problem: proof of truth to one is proof of delusion to the other - and once again, in the commentary box, the Fortean .
Roswell was the first time they managed a black project crash using the alien cover story. It was a huge success. There are genuine UFO cases but whatever they are, it probably isn't anything extraterrestrial. The problem is not so much the phenomenon as that the ET theory seems to be the only one that people want to believe in, even the most "scientific" ufologists. Ballester Olmos, for example, wrote a detailed analysis of a remarkable single witness case and ended accepting that the witness was totally honest, and that physical traces were later found that supported his story. He concluded, however, that he did not accept this as evidence of the reality of the phenomenon because the beings that were seen did not correspond to his idea of extraterrestrials.

Of course you may.If you'll permit me to quote myself, I said (18 years ago!) at the beginning of this very thread..
First let me say I believe the story and pic is BS however at 200 meters in woodland at night no way would they see someone who didn’t want to be seen.He also states that ".. Halt and his team were 200 metres away from me .." .. a team of military professionals specifically that night on a reconnaissance mission to guard a base didn't spot a bloke walking about poaching in the woods? ..
It was from the very early days of BBC 3, in 2003 I think.Came across a really old video tape which has a recording of a program:
'Britain's Closest Encounter'
Don't remember this and must be a significantly early UK broadcast.
Extracted from therein:
...What kind of camera natively produces the kind of 'texture' seen on those tree trunks?
How deep are the grooves in that bark?...
You can see a close-up of two trees in the area that I photographed in 1983 if you scroll down to the bottom of this pagethe structure of the bark in those photographs is the first thing that caught my eye. That deeply fissured pattern would not be out of place for, say, certain types of mature fir. Generally speaking, bark tends to follow the line of growth of the tree, fissures generally following the upward flow of the trunk, rather than twisting around the tree in a spiral - which is effectively what the pattern in those images suggests.
Aside from the fact that the images indicate unexplained light sources other than the one we are supposed to be looking at, the structure of the bark in those photographs is the first thing that caught my eye. That deeply fissured pattern would not be out of place for, say, certain types of mature fir - or a mature ash or alder - but the visible twist (more apparent in the first three images) is, I think, a bit odd. That oddness might constitute a natural anomaly – the natural lines of bark growth can be affected by other factors - but the fact that the identical vertical leftwards lean is visible in two roughly neighbouring trees makes me wonder. Generally speaking, bark tends to follow the line of growth of the tree, fissures generally following the upward flow of the trunk, rather than twisting around the tree in a spiral - which is effectively what the pattern in those images suggests.
During that same, aforementioned 1997 interview published in OMNI and which I hadn't seen until now, Penniston clarified:Penniston refers to multiple use of sodium pentathol and maybe other drugs by AFOSI. To get at hidden memories or to create a false memory trail?
Interesting use of words -- "they seemed quite content!"During that same, aforementioned 1997 interview published in OMNI and which I hadn't seen until now, Penniston clarified:
"Two days later, there was another, second encounter. I did not go out on that night. Lt. Col. Halt was sent out to investigate".
"After that incident, however, I was directed to report to OSI [Office of Special Investigations] at 0900 in the morning.
I met with a couple of agents, whom I had known because they had an office on the base.
They debriefed me for about an hour and a half about the incident. It was an oral debriefing where I basically just told them what had happened, and they seemed quite content with the information that I provided them at the time".
As regards: "I saw a basket ball sized red orb, it had a black centre like a pupil and looked just like an eye winking at you, just like Halt explained it..." What Halt actually explained was: "And when you put the Starscope on it, it sorta has a hollow center, a dark center, it's like a pupil of an eye looking at you, winking". Our supposed Poacher carrying one as well, was he... |
Penniston claims that was because:Interesting use of words -- "they seemed quite content!"
I've just finished reading two lenthy transcripts in case material I acquired from the US.He portrays a scenario where the OSI are satisfied the, 'UFO cover up' is safe.
Still in search of a possible clarification, I have located a previously unseen transcript, which originates from, 'Above Top Secret', by Timothy Good and reads:Mentioned before that I wasn't so sure, 'colours' made any sense and I wondered if it could be, 'choppers'.
Going back to the archive newsletter recently posted:The colour picture of rabbit scrapings in the forest floor was taken by me in the summer of 2010.
Difficult to know what we should make of that fascinating, 'UFO' report and greatly appreciated you took time to find it.In it he describes his interview with the Frost family in August 1980...
Completely unnoticed by the foresters who worked out there every day, or the people who walked and rode through there – Rendlesham Forest is open public land, remember.The rest of the discussion essentially relates to a downed craft (possibly alien), which sat in the forest for 2-3 days, awaiting, 'electronic' repairs.
Here is repeating Larry Warren's story, although Warren said it ws Gordon Williams not Halt who did the 'communicating'.Halt is named by Bustinza as being witnessed communicating with the craft's 'occupants',
It's near enough the same as my own transcriptAnnoyingly, of course, presumably we can't be sure of this without hearing that exact same copy of the tape?
Since they were presumably looking south at this moment, I am fairly sure Ball is looking at Sirius, which is well-known for scintillating colourfully. Ball is almost certainly looking at it with his own eyes, rather than the Starlight scope, which only produces one colour- green.[Excited shouting in the background]
MASTER SGT BALL: Look at the colors... shit
Yep, that's the one. Nice pictures! Your own?Since they were presumably looking south at this moment, I am fairly sure Ball is looking at Sirius, which is well-known for scintillating colourfully.
