The original story was about the high river flooding and the mist surrounding the adjacent city. The bystanders were commenting on how the mist made the city look "like a fairy tale". I guess because it looks somewhat like a city in the clouds. It's crazy how the internet flys off the handle at the drop of a hat. People are so bored!Anon_blues100http://artrambler.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8104600450225406597.post-74222734516009451602011-07-24T18:03:39.078-07:002011-07-24T18:03:39.078-07:00Anonymous,

I just wish I was as sure of his skepticism as you seem to be. He used to regularly annoy Phil Klass and myself, going out of his way to tell us that we were too skeptical about UFOs, that they were something real. He took pleasure in doing this. He actually claimed to have been present when the famous Coast Guardsmen UFO photo was taken in 1952, and to have seen the UFOs himself:<br /><br />http://www.isaackoi.com/ufo/19520716-salem-photo.html<br /><br />Now this is dubious for a number of reasons. First, Stein was then only 11 years old, so what he'd be doing there is questionable. Second, the lights could be pretty much anything, as they show no detail, but frankly they look like hoax images to me. They're far too bright compared with the rest of the frame, they may have been simply painted on the negative. UFO researcher Isaac Koi says "there is persuasive evidence that the eyewitness account that accompanied this photo was untrue." And if that's so, then Stein's account is even more bogus. Still, we can't say for sure as nobody has so far as I know done any detailed study of it. <br /><br />Because I doubt that the objects in these images ever existed, I'm extremely dubious that an 11-year-old boy was somehow at the Air Base, and happened to see them. So I'd say Stein was a better humanist than a skeptic.Robert Sheafferhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15324537021429419111noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8104600450225406597.post-62450120349549451362011-06-30T23:25:21.820-07:002011-06-30T23:25:21.820-07:00Concise and logical - bravo!

Would you, by any chance, have known Dr. Gordon Stein, who also used to write about (and debunk much of) this sort of thing?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
