Reading the whole post and going outside of ATS to read the links I'm surprised the OP even thinks this comes close to an Alien
Abduction.
As stated NUMEROUS times, as well in my THESIS and TITLE, the "OP" (which is me btw
I have stated that this case
could be an alien
abduction OR could be a hoax? Are you sure you read the ENTIRE 3 OP thread or external links? Are you sure you comprehended them?
I am sorry, but in this cases and many other controversial cases in ufology we have situations like this. We can not be so linear and one thinking. We
also must look at all kinds of things such as logic, peripheral evidence, circumstantial evidence, feasibility, etc. This case is still WELL open, and
as stated in my opinion section more information is needed to make any type of a more definitive resolution, as really there HAS NEVER been any
definitive answer to a case being real, only hoaxes have been proven.
I am not going to outline the case for you again, as it is
lucidly and exently outlined for you already in my OP. I brought this case to our
community for a few reasons:
To see what the general consensus is of ATS, which seems to be around 20% real, 40% hoax, and 40% unsurr.
Another reason was to bring this relatively unknown case to ATS and the world as not many, even those who LIVE in Australia (and I know many) knew
about it. The main focus right now in ufology should be to get the cases, especially the better ones (controversial or not) and make a case file to
present to mainstream to draw more attention and thus attempts to locate the truth.
Yet another reason was to show that if indeed this was a hoax to educate people maybe not experts in ufology how far and convincing some hoaxers
will go. It is all about learning and educating.
The final main reason is to teach all aspect of reported abductions, the similarities, types, species, etc. Again, even if this is a hoax that
point is still valid.
Now if I was being intentionally misleading or "pseudobeliever-ish" or trying to deceive do you think I would have mad it clear many times, like the
title, throughout the OP, in the sources, references, related thread-not to mention offering the case in a totally neutral viewpoint (as I always do),
which included the
police testimony and opinions, as well my own interjections with some of the discrepancies. I ALWAYS do that (as should
ALL), leave it up to the readers, just present ALL the available facts in an unbiased and non obfuscated manner,
This very intriguing case was brought up for debate, more attention, and to add to the ever growing massive ufological directory. Maybe you should
re-read it again, then maybe you will understand what you said was erroneous. I know how to do my research, I never am biased, I know how to present
cases and what needs to be done in regards to ufology, so please remember that. All I am or have ever been trying to do is help ALL OF OUR CAUSE.
So
again, in case you choose not to re-read the OP and links all I was presenting was a
controversal case. one that needs MUCH more investigation and attention. You can make up your
own mind, and please do. Thanks for sharing
