RS> Well, I've decided to jump back in here, seeing as I was getting
RS> bored over in Skeptic just watching the argument over this
RS> (supposed) Iranian "UFO."
RN>
RN> Are you sure that's all they argue about? (-:
Mostly. There are other things now, but GJO, FR, and (another) RS are
simply trading insults and taking up most of the postings.
RS> In other words, "eyewitness testimony" I won't buy.
RN>
RN> Why not? If you say you saw something, are we not to believe you?
Because I very easily could be mistaken or just plain lying.
RS> Photos need to be real, and legible. Same with videos.
RN>
RN> Agreed.
Problem is how to set the standard there.
RS> And I'm sure by now some of you already know I have a sometimes
RS> savage sense of humor, especially when dealing with loons.
RN>
RN> "Loons" by whose standards?
By anyone besides the loon.
If someone came in here and posted, "I'm an alien, because I say so!"
by nearly everyone's standards that person would be a loon.
RS> And if I see a loony post, I'll say so.
RN>
RN> Depends on what you say and how you say it.
Most often, I'll say, "That sounds nuts!"
RS> BTW, I am laughing my head off at the "face on Mars" people like

To me, it's simply a screwup based on a poor resolution photo.
Yet Hoagland, to defend his money-making video is saying NASA has a
"conspiracy" to hide the "truth." Figures.
I kind of predicted he would say that.
