 after the completion of 50th anniversary of the Roswell UFO crash festival.
 We nattered a bit and he let me take a couple of photos of him gazing
 thoughtfully out the airplane window. He was quite an affable fellow. He
 enjoyed the limelight. Around the time of the alleged Roswell incident Corso
 claimed to have seen a dead alien body in a box filled with some blue
 liquid. He peeked under the lid of a crate and apparently saw something that
 made an impression on him. The late Strom Thurmond wrote a brief
 introduction to Corso's book on the Roswell incident before he fully
 understood what his old war buddy was going to talk about. When it was

 endorsement be removed in successive editions. Fortunately, I have the 1st
 edition. When I read Strom's intro it's obvious to me that Strom didn't have

Re: [Vo]:OT: Boyd Bushman discusses aliens and offers photographic proof

2014-11-01 Thread Kevin O'Malley
I do not consider this to be an area of deductive reasoning because we
cannot expect the guvmint to just open up their hangar 18 or whatever and
show us what they got so we can deduce for ourselves. Therefore, that makes
this an area of INductive reasoning rather than DEductive reasoning.  The
difference is similar to the difference between criminal and civil law--the
burden of proof for a criminal case is beyond a reasonable doubt whereas
the burden in a civil case is preponderance of the evidence

In the case of UFOs, the preponderance of the evidence is very strongly on
the side of flying saucers being secret weapons from the tail end of WWII.
The very best book on UFOs is this one (and I've read dozens of books on
UFOs):
http://www.amazon.com/Intercept-UFO-Story-Flying-Saucers/dp/0523008406/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8qid=1414871213sr=8-1keywords=renato+vesco+%22intercept+ufo%22

I have noticed that the vast majority of people who believe in the
ExtraTerrestrial hypothesis will not lift a finger to check out opposing
evidence such as Renato Vesco's book.  Such philosophical intransigence
turns this inductive area of inquiry into something more like a religious
discussion.

From Robert:

 

 Another YouTube link to the same 

 video,  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aZTXHw1mZD4.

 

Thanks, Robert.

 

I watched the video. Indeed, fascinating.

 

I know of no way how to authenticate Boyd's story. It seems plausible as
stories go, but it's all here-say. As always: Photoshop is your friend.

 

I can only conjecture the following personally eccentric opinions. They are
based on watching a You Tube video, with no other evidence in my possession.

 

Assuming Boyd is telling the truth, as he understands the truth...

 

I am struck not by the physical dissimilarities we appear have with these
aliens that Boyd shows us in his private collection of photos. I'm struck by
the remarkable similarities. They possess two eyes, a nose and a mouth in
the same locations as ours. They possess five fingers and a thumb on each
arm and in the same positions as ours. They also possess five toes each on
two legs in remarkably the same locations as ours. What are the odds that
this would happen in Nature, assuming these aliens had independently evolved
on another planet more than 60 light years distant from ours? Again, let me
repeat: FIVE DIGITS on a hand where of them is obviously a THUMB in pretty
close the same position as the physiological architecture of our own hand.
Shoot! These alien hands are no more alien looking that if we were to
compare our own hand to that of a monkey or chimpanzee. If Boyd's photos are
authentic, and that is obviously a stretch one has to make here, I can only
conjecture that we are being visited by distant relatives. If that is the
case, I could certainly understand why some visitors might possess some
anthropological interest in visiting our primitive planet. 

 

I have conjectured this before, but I'll say it again: I suspect there has
likely been cross-pollination going on since this planet first became
habitable to carbon based life forms. Before that, when the environment was
a little hotter, perhaps silicon based life forms as well.

 

Changing the subject, I wonder if some of our distant relatives have tasted
Kobe beef. I hear it's out of this world.

I have spoken to Boyd on the phone and I have interest in a few of his
patents and I believe they are genuinely exposing the nature of hidden
physics (the Aether).

And I believe in aliens visiting earth...

But the resemblance is too spot on unless the toy was based on that exact
photo.

Unless of course every alien of the species is an identical clone and the
toy is a remarkably perfect detailed recreation in every minute detail of
this identical clone race right down to the colouring, look on the face,
degree the eyes are open.

My suspension of belief doesn't stretch THAT far, and I give it regular
