me:::and how exACTLY do you KNOW they are 'obvious fakes' and 'crap'?? EX__ACTLY. were is your EVIDENCE for you assertion?
I can stick my camera out of the window and snag a good picture of a jet liner at several thousand feet altitude. There's no issue with technology at all. The only issue is that clear pictures clearly show a mundane object. The blurry ones allow the imagination to interpret them.
me::resent to us here references of the pictures you supposedly have taken of jet liners at several thousand feet altitude and me and my collegues here will look them over, and analyze them in comaprison with known footage? can you do this?....
People follow suit. That's what that tells me.
me::be more specific. what you mean--"people follow suit"
But you seem to have forgotten the genesis of the term 'flying saucer'. The term was not coined to desribe the shape at all, but the motion of the object. This of course was misreported, and seized upon, until copy cat sitings of 'saucer shaped objects' became mainstream.
me::where are your sources for tht info. you see i personally dont see how you can abstract motion from shape. obviously saucer shapes wold seem to be more attuned from the motion. and people see shapes AND motion,,,,at the same time!
And further, we are seeing em with hotos and video past an present. so what you say makes no sense whatsoever.
These were obviously people jumping on the bandwagon.
me::: what bandwagon? of fame?? please tell me what bandwagon you mean. asfar as i am aware--even experincing beinghere--peole who DO share their experiences are severely ridiculed. etc. wht is the fame of that. and some of the people who send photos do so anonymoulsy, and many prefer to keep low profiles. so your thoery doesn't hold there does it?
Also, there have been trends in observations. 'Cigar shaped' objects, 'saucer' shaped objects, and triangular shaped objects. People follow suit, especially the unstable people, it seems.
exactly......hah, the 'unstable people'....the stigma of being thought 'mentally ill' by the godamn 'sceptical' sceince brigade. that is the bandwagn you mean phlo?
