- Evidence that something anomalous did indeed occur. You've got testimony
- backed up by lab reports from 2 governments that the metal recovered at Ubatuba
- was beyond the capability of just about everybody on the planet at the time.
- The only people capable of synthesizing it wqere given a sample for analysis
- and concluded that it wasn't their handiwork.
-
- So figure it out Mike. The way I see it you've got 2 options.
- It either didn't come from this planet or it didn't come from that time.
- Any other logical possibilities (please no more "piece of ICBM" junk . . .)?

- I don't think there's a person on this group that would make the claim that
- "nothing really crashed at Roswell." The 2 camps seem to be arguing over
- whether it was Mogul or ET, and as recent posts on the subject have illustrated
- there's NO MORE *DOCUMENTED* EVIDENCE for the one than the other. So we're
- left with lots of circumstance and implications, but something definitely
- went down.
-
- Again, you can take the Mogul hypothesis to heart if that really answers all
- your questions, but I need a lot more than they're offering to be convinced.
- The testimony of first-hand witnesses, contradictory statements from the
- government, internal inconsistencies of behavior from the military, documents
- referencing material too similar to that alledgedly recovered at Roswell, etc
- poses too many problems for a cheap revamped weather balloon excuse.
-
- Can you REALLY reconcile all these problems without violating Occam's Razor?
