True, there are no bodies with Kecksburg (at least not yet). Instead we have the military carting off a huge acorn-like object. And what became of this object? Presumably it is stored with the Roswell wreckage, along with all the rest of the recovered crashed ET craft that our space visitors seem so inept at handling when they get close to planet earth.<br /><br />I rest my case.<br /><br /><br /><br />cdahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01005702597775594084noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8104600450225406597.post-41115931292842837662014-01-20T20:58:32.715-08:002014-01-20T20:58:32.715-08:00Acorn UFO Corporation

But the map doesn't show Kecksburg or anything I can recognize from Google Maps. Lake St. Clair is to the north in the figure, but it's also not on Google Maps near Kecksburg. I also checked Mapquest, no luck. There is also no mention in the paper of the U.S. military going to the site. The authors of the paper also admit that they are uncertain as the velocity of the meteor. I think the skeptical position on this case needs to be tightened a bit.Transpoewrhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12540890121217814370noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8104600450225406597.post-32306406695704370062014-01-20T16:00:06.505-08:002014-01-20T16:00:06.505-08:00Zoam, your output appears to be set at "rando...Zoam, your output appears to be set at "random."<br /><br />You might want to adjust your settings.

In logic, probability, and in real-world practical skepticism, the absence of evidence is evidence of absence. So evidenceless "UFO" stories aren't simply unproven, they're rightly dismissed as having never occurred. Your "feelings" about some truth to the story are irrelevant.<br /><br />You want science? The default position for any proposition or claim is the negation of that claim, the Null hypothesis.
