YouTube also carries some early, unedited tape of Cynthia Hinds interviewing the children in a sizable group of 10-15 students. She has clearly established a "pool of contagion," where these kids can pick up all the elements of the story that Hinds is looking for and feed it back to her. They do this not with the intention of deceiving adults, but with the desire to be part of this exciting event.Carol Raineyhttp://www.carolrainey.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8104600450225406597.post-73584602031631001882022-07-11T04:46:08.306-07:002022-07-11T04:46:08.306-07:00This is the most pathetic attempt to debunk childr...This is the most pathetic attempt to debunk children (who are now adults btw) because of mankind’s irrational but logical emotion: fear. I think people try to debunk these kids because let’s face it, what they saw is extremely creepy. And when humans are confronted with something that is not in the known, they will to great lengths to disapprove of it. It is ok to feel fear towards the unknown. It is a human emotion. But to say that years later these adults are lying is an insult to their intelligence. It comes off as very offensive and patronizing Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8104600450225406597.post-83886105738438557432022-06-06T12:17:08.184-07:002022-06-06T12:17:08.184-07:00I don't know, stuff from my childhood memories...I don't know, stuff from my childhood memories is sometimes pretty cloudy. Memory is complex (and complicated). We remember odd and seemingly meaningless things from our past and forget very important things we have every intention of holding on to. It's possible these kids saw something unusual to their everyday experience and weren't sure what it was, and then the details of it became more of a psychological event. When we were kids I remember a moose strolled into our picnic area, but my younger brother swears it was a bear and my mom says it was an elk or a deer.

And one would think that as adults, one or two or five or ten or thirty of them might come to suspect they were wrong if, for instance, they were all wrong. Certainly something like this would have provoked much thought and reflection for them over the years.<br /><br />The argument that we don't recall childhood memories correctly is fine. But in this case the conflicts would be things like what color the ship was, what the beings were wearing, that type of thing. Not that the event never happened at all.<br /><br />And if there was some other coincidental phenomena happening in the sky that day, such as a comet streaking or a satellite falling, show me where else in history 60+ children of various ages mistook something conventional, if rare, passing in the sky for a ship landing and beings stepping out.

However, between 1954 & 1988, seventy one have landed and crushed vegetation. 17 countries, 5 continents. Hoaxers one assumes, would have to be multilingual, and inter-generational. Every single UFO weighs thirty tons. So Australian hoaxers telling Russian hoaxers, 20 years later, hey they weigh 30 tons. Get a lorry, that weighs almost exactly 30 tons, and often leaves no tracks, or hoaxers that can afford a helicopter. Possible but unlikely. An hallucination, mass hysteria, weather balloon, Venus, all weight 30 tons ? No, they do not. 1967, United Kingdom, two school boys, school boys are sci fi nuts or practical jokers, the worst kind of UFO witness. However they say UFO landed in a field. Investigators check the levels, thirty tons. How do school boys hoax 30 tons ? Lower middle class school boys have a rich uncle with a helicopter or something ? Really ? Listen up skeptics, might not be check mate, but by God it's a lot of checks in a row, got you on the run.
