I don't find those inconsistencies all that remarkable.

People seem to assume that personal narratives are polished, precise, flawlessly logical, vetted, referenced, with layers of confirmation etc.

Not so.

Personal narratives are . . . well . . . very . . . uhhhhh

personal.

They are personal recollections by flawed critters with flawed memories and flawed communication skills to other flawed critters.

I think a good deal of the inconsistencies you seem to have trouble with could easily be explained by

1. aging memory trying to articulate remarkable events considerably after the events.

2. events and phenomena which challenge conventional articulations by conventional descriptive phrasing.

I have no trouble giving him the benefit of the doubt.

I think postulating that he was a rabid thorough-going disinfo agent primarily or only . . . is too much of a stretch.


Well said.

I think subconsciously many of us are LOOKING for inconsistencies because we find these claims hard to believe. If we were listening to, for example, our grandfather recollecting an incredible personal experience they had during world war 2 which was of earthly origins we would be dealing with the same lack of polish and precision, yet we wouldn't be questioning the story's authenticity, because the story, whilst incredible, is believable to us. We tend to nitpick a persons behaviour and study every word when dealing with accounts such as Mr Corso's.
It seems the more extraordinary the claims the more we scrutinise. It's understandable but sometimes a little unfair.

I would like to see 6, the link does not seem to work. I know some people here might find loopholes in his story, but consider that he also is at the end of a life well lived, and alot of information, and that will not come out consistently, and there is lots of secrets in there I am sure.

You can tell by the way he says things he was a savy guy, and intelligent enough to survive those positions and ranks, and knew when to keep his mouth shut and to observe.

Why is he doing this disclosure now? Well he seems to have his own agenda, probably would like some extra money and watched everyone line their pockets, and wants to share his life, I mean he has some great insights. And this was recorded a while ago, and he talks about some things that have since been brought out. I think he knows more than he is saying as well.

With him, if a person took a week and some beer and just let him ramble you most likely would get the whole story, it would just come out, but he was being directed all the time.

A few weeks ago I heard of a guy here who was writing a book on UFO's. He was leaving and his friend came across me in a Satsang where I mentioned my ET ships I am in contact with. She wanted me to meet him, and called on the spot.

So the first thing he started was, where do you live, and are you single idea, and how old are you, the logical things. I cut him right off, and said, look, do you want to see s ship or are you just collecting facts. Cause if you are collecting facts, you got the wrong guy, what does my age got to do with anything, and that is personal and really off point.

So then I said if you want to see a ship, come tonight to this location and I try to bring one in for you and your friend here. He was silent, but he got the point. Him and her came out, we brought in a few ships, he thanked me, no more questions asked.

And that is what alot of people forget. They get so wrapped up in the note taking, and the facts, and the dates, and the photos, and well, guess what, they are right outside your house waiting for you to ask to see them.

Now you can believe it or not, that is your reality, my reality is that this historical stuff is interesting, but the dates and facts are not the important part lets not get lost in the details. For me it is the interpersonal interactions and stuff like this that tells the true story.

I think you have some valid points, wanted to also say that one of my pet peeves in UFology is the fact that they discount the ordinary witness and claim that they can be poo pooed off as a crack pot, but then when top government officials, Astronauts and Military Pilots and in Col. Corsos case top brass begin to tell their piece of the puzzle that too is scoffed at by the fearful in my estimation.

For many the reality of actually knowing the truth verses simply looking for answers is where we begin to see the hidden reasons behind the public's need for skepticism.

We are not a tollerant species, and if geographics and religious differences spark wars and conflict among our own people of earth then how do we expect to become part of a larger community of planets and dimensional realms?

Right and for you there never will be a smoking gun, not until the day comes when you are sitting over coffee with an alien yourself, no wait you would probably shoot the alien and then drink the coffee alone as you contemplate who to turn it in to.

So here we have an ex white house staff member saying that Roswell and all the rest of it is true.

Has he got another book coming out soon?? It is the only reason I can figure he would tell porkys.

So now what???

Where is Mike on this one??


I doubt he has another book coming out - he died.
