- : 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 . . .)?

- Red my other posts on the matter. Seems we have something less than you
- claim, based on posts from the guy who claims to actually have seen
- the evidence!
-
- We have two unknown Brazilian labs which (it is stated) claim the small
- samples of Mg are of a purity unattainable on earth and of anomalous
- density, and then we have the USAF lab and Dow saying it's just plain
- magnesium, nothing particulalry odd about it.
-
- The True Saucer Fan always goes for the extraterrestrial explaination,
- of course, and the fact that Dow and the USAF say it's ordinary MG
- is, to the Fans, *further* proof, since it's the sign of an obvious
- coverup!
-
- I love reading you guys. You never disappoint me. Just when I think
- *no one* could make such a ridiculous inference, you do it again ;-)
