It just disappoints me that through the ages, people have come forward and said
something that is 'out of the box' and even though there's never any true evidence to
back-up their's claims, folk come a-running to believe the speaker.
All some asked was how a radio telescope supposedly picked up a UV signal that
indicated intelligence from at least two other planets.
When pressed, James/Judy seemed to slink away and muddied the waters. With Wayne
-he embraced his relationship with the alledged NASA employee and then U-turned his
comments to imply he was merely like everyone else... an observer of the claim.
And so we began the mud-slinging... 'she-said-he-said' and my personal classic:
'Pics or it didn't happen!'
Regardless of the fog-wrapped debate, the two main-characters in this odd tale continued to
look for ways to ask why they were doubted and imply that other answers may lay in their
books that are available.
I know the above writings are just going over old ground, but here we have a claim that is
based on faith... on the idea that an enigmatic NASA employee saw the readings that proved
that a intelligent species was communicating to another.
James/Judy had already placed him/herself in a difficult standing with the Kalahari incident being
proven to an adequate point to be a hoax, so when the reversed-badge NASA worker dropped the
UV signal claim onto the internet, many of the 'old-school' here were wary.
Experience has shown me that if you do step forward like this, you must be able to shoot
down any queries with proof and level-headedness. Personally, I tend to set off with the idea
that the person who claims something is telling the truth and go about the business of proving
through solving the difficult questions asked -that it is so.
That didn't happen here.
So what do we get here...? The ATS members that requested evidence are insulted, accused of
vile actions and in some cases -threatened with Police intervention.
I know that if I had been granted access to this world-changing event, I would be still shouting
from the rooftops and arguing my corner with verve and seriousness.
It may well be that the supposed Powers-That-Be have hidden and destroyed evidence of the
incident, it could be that certain information has been altered to create doubt, but as long as
the baseball-wearing girl is still around, she should be proving to the most doubtful of the
audience that what she saw was true.
