scarlettina: (UFO)

Alien? Um...

Apparently the press conference has been held, the video has been shown and one image has been released. See the news story and image here. More from the Denver Post.

For my money, it's as impressive as pictures of ghosts, which is to say that something like this would be easy to fake. I'd need to see the video, and I'd want some other corroborative, contemporary evidence: a second witness, physical evidence in the vicinity of the creature's presence, something of that nature.

For those who suggest that this would be enough to convince a courtroom, I say that extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence. It ain't enough. I'll be curious to see whether or not the video will be released as promised.

My bet is that after his secret meetings with Samantha Carter and Thor a sufficiently doctored version of the video will be released. ;-)

Give him credit. He had to hunt to find that old copy of the Weekly World News to hold up to the window.

Nice mask.

Saw the video.

Rubbish.

As expected.

Hope you don't mind, I added you as you clearly write interesting things.

I'm flattered! Welcome to the asylum. :) I hope it stays interesting for you here.

That picture totally creeped me out! Possibly because when I was younger I was absolutely terrified of aliens abducting me, and it all started with them peeping in at me through the window. *shudder*

My favorite part of the article was the reference to MUFON at the end. Paging Agent Mulder!
