You know what? I think most people in this world would capitalize on an event just like this. Personally, I have been to 32 countries in this world
and have seen that most every human will gather just about every last penny they could in just about any way possible. That's not to say humans are
bad. Rather, we are resourceful. Some shady, some legit, most...somewhere in between. Do you cheat a little on your taxes? Do you tell a little
lie to get out of work? We are all guilty of taking advantage of a situation from one time or another.
That being said, are these folks in Erath county collectively creating an elaborate hoax hoping to get rich? Probably not so much. No. Did they see
something that defied rational day-to-day Texan celestial activity? Yup. Somethin' sure was hooverin' over Stephenville. Do they expect/hope to
cash in a little over this? Sure. Why not.
I just hope that the lure of the little green men (Washington, Lincoln, Franklin) don't win out over honesty, decency and truth.
