They thought that the puzzling cases of the mute phenomenon were caused by governmental testing of animals looking for impacts of chemical and/or weaponry testing. I had long thought something similar, substituting "industries" for government. When I worked a summer job during grad school days, the company that I worked for sent out guys surreptitiously to take plant samples downwind from the plant and on-the-hush tested them in our lab for contamination. No results were ever publicized of course. <br /><br />As to reading the Skeptical Inquirer: I had a subscription for many years and even attended a couple of their conventions. As time went on it became painfully obvious that the normal presentation either in the magazine or on the stage was utterly intellectually dishonest. With a very few exceptions [Lawrence Kusche's analysis of the Bermuda Triangle was a rare good study], this stuff was trash founded upon the deepest prejudices that I've encountered anywhere this side of sanity or greed. So I dumped my subscription. Nowadays, my file boxes for SI are stored alongside my extra stash of toilet paper --- I kid not.

If I remember the segment correctly, they also claimed that helicopters would buzz cattle ranches during the day, and that they were unmarked (but not black.) The footage itself was a profile view of a stationary, hovering black helicopter and it "morphed" into a windowless silver disc saucer which may or may not have shot away from camera view. I was a heavy reader of CSICOP's "Skeptical Enquirer" and I remember not seeing any debunkings of the footage, though they did run a long rant-review about how the early "X-Files" episodes tried pass the show off as "based on true events" while also blasting Fox for running anything pro-paranormal at all. I should say I was reading it for "balance" because I was also reading "Saucer Smear" and "Fortean Times" and the "Desert Rat", but it seemed that CSICOP's press position in the `90s was that "it's all easily explainable, so let's focus on the philosophy of science instead."Strelnikovhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12660962615198939441noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2019724693487670016.post-79287226447972525372015-07-02T17:23:02.788-07:002015-07-02T17:23:02.788-07:00The reason for that deduction is included in the p...The reason for that deduction is included in the post. Either you did not read it or you are deliberately ignoring it. Frequent followers of this blog realize that I have addressed the display issue [most strongly with the astro-alignment cases] many times here. There is a large pile of evidence for some encounters "lining up" with the witness as if displaying for a certain viewing angle. If you do not accept any of that, or are not aware of that material, we will agree to disagree on whether the phenomenon displays itself for witnesses many times, and that will allow us [mainly me] to continue to work on UFO materials rather than potentially protracted debate. <br /><br />To give you what you want: that one case alone doesn't prove that: you are correct.

Why? That's not included." <br />why would you assume that? Just because the witness saw itt does not imply it was performing for her benefit. It's probably a very strong belief of the witness, who feels singled out, special. It's all her perception of the event, her attitude toward experiences. People always accept coincidence as having meaning. And they always feel that circumstances must have purpose.

I looked up the case and it happened three times in that area in one year.<br /><br />Did you ever see that daylight footage of the black helicopter becoming a shiny UFO that ran on "Sightings"? I can't seem to find it online, and nobody ever debunked it, as far as I know.

The description of the "hole" was that it was like a flat black area of sky, as if the sky there was "painted over." The flat black area moved very slowly for a while, changing form from an "elongated" shape to a kidney to a distorted globe. Its disappearance was not described, but in a second sighting on a different day, the thing/area was said to pick up speed and rise away at height.

You have here one of only a handful of worthwhile sites on the web when it comes to the subject matter you cover, in my opinion.
