Hi, Jack;
 
[Big snip]
 
 JS> I also held high hopes for the Phoenix lights to be real, but I've

 JS> At first, the military denied there were any aircraft in the area.
 JS> Later, the MNG fessed up.
 
[Conspiracy buff's view - not necessarily mine!]   :-]
 
Uh huh... just like the military to come up with a cover story for a UFO
a week after the sighting!
 
 JS> Actually, I suspect the exercise of being
 JS> one to determine the reaction from the public after seeing what
 JS> could easily mistaken for a giant UFO... 
 JS> behind every bush.
 
I wouldn't put it past them!
 
 JS> ...by those of us who see aliens... And unfortunately, some of us
 JS> do!
 
Very true!
 
 JS> It is this
 JS> minority of us that has made the UFO enthusiasts the victim of abuse
 JS> by many of the hardcore skeptics, some of which are gung-ho to
 JS> ridicule believers.
 
It would seem that there are a lot of these around!  I hate to say it,
(because it will only encourage them), but if they are trying to
discredit SERIOUS UFO investigators, they are succeeding!
 
 JS> Fortunately for me, I was willing to view both the
 JS> Mexico City video and the Phoenix video with a view from both sides of
 JS> the fence.
 
I haven't seen the Mexico City vid (yet), but one thing that could have
proven or disproven the Phoenix lights event would be if a good observer
had seen stars between the lights blacked out as "it" passed by.  No
blackouts, no huge object.  Period.  However if the stars WERE blacked
out as "it" went by, that would completely disprove the O-fishy
explaination of the Pentigon.
 
 JS> I am convinced the Mexico video was a fake, and the Phoenix
 JS> lights incident a terrible prank by our military on the general
 JS> public.
 
Both are very possible!  One question, however, _IF_ the Phoenix lights
WERE a hoax by the military, why would they pull it if they are
obviously trying so darn hard to convince John Q. Public that UFOs do
_NOT_ exist???  This does not compute!!!  And if it WAS the Maryland NG
doing an exercize, why ditn't the Pentigon say so right away, or even
announce it ahead of time?  HMMMMMMmmmmmmmmmmmmmm...
 
Catch you later... Keep l00king up!
