["Lets begin with a brief history.

We have all heard the stories of the Roswell UFO Incident and we all know that through out history we have read stories of weird things glowing or floating in the sky and in ancient times they were considered by some to be gods. examples like Ezekiel's wheel or Mesoamerican stories of quetzalcoatl Even ancient Mesopotamia had stories of some flying gods like Anu ! Most of the modern world will say they are nothing more than the product of an active imagination. So be it, but I ask how else would primitive man describe something that they are completely unaware of? They would put things into their own words with descriptions that they are familiar with.

So we have a long history of such things being seen lets assume they were Aliens and Lets assume Roswell really happened.]

When you start with myth, chances are the whole thread is going to be mythical. Roswell is a myth, only the gullible believe in other than prosaic explanations. Ezekiel's wheel? You mean like in the jewish bible? Ha! Mesoamerican stories of Quetzacoatl? Better read your history again, and check the b.s. at the door. Yuck!

It amazes me that posters who think a thread is BS spend so much of thier valuable time telling us about it than rather going off and reading something they enjoy?

Oh well! its good that we are all different.

Thanks for the reply.

You ought to look at why you are easily amazed. My time is not valuable so I can hang around here as long as I want.

You ought to reconsider your apparent support of BS.

And you obviously do not support freedom of speech except from those you agree with.

I support freedom of speech and go for it!

I support a theory and until proven otherwise and also support what I have witnessed to make a theory relate to that event on a personel level.

So its your turn to prove all related topics posted as BS, and if you had read all resoures Myself And Slayer posted then if its still all BS to you thats fine by me

If you had any out of the box, out of the norm, daily life experence? not I doubt it!.

We all have a question to ask and its bloody hard if you can not find or searching for proof of that answer.

We try and reply to any post that has respect and politeness be it skeptical input or not and we return the same, but if your arrogant and rude I will reply in the same manner and some?

My time is valuable and yours is not as you qouted, Lucky for you!!

You can sit on here all day and have fun my friend or go find a hobby.

Its family time now.

End of story.

Here is an interesting note on Corso.

Corso mentions that Maiman developed the first laser while at Columbia.

But Maiman was not at Columbia but in California at Hughes Labs when he developed his laser. So is Corso mistaken?

Low and behold close research produces the fact that Maiman did spend some time at Columbia before going to California, Stanford and then Hughes, and would have to have worked with Towns and Schawlow. Apparently Towns rejected the idea of using synthetic ruby so Maiman left Columbia and continued the ruby research at Hughes? With DOD funding?

Is Corso saying that some type of operational laser was developed by Maiman at Columbia before the official release at Hughes in 1960? Did the other scientists actually rip of Gould ,that did eventually gained royalties and rights decades later, and toss him out of Columbia? Or did Corso make a simple mistake about Maiman developing lase while at Columbia? Well this would have had to have taken place several years before Hughes as Maiman spent several years at Stanford before going to Hughes.

Perhaps the truth of the story can be found in the fact that the laser went in use commercially soon after its announcement. It may have already been developed but was kept secret until the DOD went over it fully before manufacturing a modern historical fiction to cover the real story behind the development of laser, making it look like a development under pressure from the private sector.

At any rate make no mistake the DOD is where you will end up when you look for the driving force behind lasers development. Considering the early research was driven and paid for by the DOD, and considering strategic and security consideration as well as DOD funding, there is no way that the laser would have been considered important to the military only after going into the commercial developmental stages. Corso may have been trying to communicate this by saying that Maiman developed the laser at Columbia along with the three other top scientist in the field. The actual development being a Maiman/Gould/Towns/Schawlow development with Gould having worked on the Manhattan project.

The missing bits to the puzzle may have to do with security but could just as easily been the results of legal considerations. These considerations coming into play when the laser went into commercial development and royalties had to be paid, inventors had to be credited, and official histories had to be created.

Something that puzzles me. When I read on various links re the alleged Roswell crash it is stated that the recovered material could not be dented or cut etc and always returned to it's original smooth shape. Why then did the craft break up into hundreds of pieces on impact with the ground ?

Thats was some of the material found apparently not the same material that composed the structure of the craft. Apparently.

Apparently ? Apparently so

Fascinating videos Slayer. What puzzles me though, as I said earlier, is why would a craft that was seemingly made from an apparently indestructible material break up into hundreds ( ? ) of pieces on impact with soil ?

Outstanding research! My hat is off to you. Flagged & tagged.

What a lineup of credible people! Fantastic, I can't say enough...
