[and film clips of the "ice monster" which was all over the web of course]. I just zero'd in on small sections of the Olaus Magnus map and sectioned it into interesting scenes.

Also, I have asked many uploaders if they had walked over to the UFO's apparent vicinity to get a better look; so far, not a single person has -- they are perfectly happy to claim they've documented a "spaceship" without bothering to verify. One lad had a video of a daylight landing of what he claimed were two craft. I asked if he had walked over, as the landing spot was quite close, but he said he was too busy! Too busy! When I pressed, he said it too was hard to get there. Too hard! Alien craft! Greatest discovery in history!

Once again, the lack of a field investigation leaves us "on thin ice" and just going with "logic" or "common sense", whatever those two things are.The Professorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07811807639219365621noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2019724693487670016.post-18537176979641933732012-06-15T12:35:44.874-07:002012-06-15T12:35:44.874-07:00It's a cool effect.

The video makes clear there are small ice sheets moving all over the place, running past each other.<br /><br />When this came out in February, I wrote:<br /><br />It’s small chunks of ice built up on the edge of a large sheet of ice, which itself is floating on water and so moving about with the current. This is apparent in the second-half of the video.<br /><br />http://www.cryptomundo.com/cryptozoo-news/iceland-wurm/Terry the Censorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13361088223337740598noreply@blogger.com
