Larry King may earn his money after all

Last night I tried watching TV. I made the mistake of turning on Larry King. In case you haven’t been paying attention, I hate Larry King. I don’t know why I was watching, but the subject of last night’s show was Do UFOs Exist?.

The panel of “experts” consisted of people who were either completely nuts sanity-challenged or who refused to give an opinion, but would spend 5 minutes stating that they wouldn’t give an opinion. For example:

KING: Dr. Doleman, what do you believe?

WILLIAM DOLEMAN, PH.D., LED 2002 ROSWELL ARCHAEOLOGICAL DIG: I believe that, clearly, something happened or it wouldn’t have made the news. At the same time, I kind of maintain a position in which I’m a scientific investigator looking for physical evidence, and I’m not in the business of evaluating the testimony of various people. Instead, I’m engaged in a project that, as far as I know, represents the first intensive effort at what — at least — to find some kind of physical evidence of whatever happened back there in 1947. And so in terms of what I believe, it’s really kind of irrelevant because what I believe is that scientific investigation is the best way to go about looking for that physical evidence.

KING: Leslie, what happened at Kecksburg, Pennsylvania, in 1965?

LESLIE KEAN, JOURNALIST INVESTIGATING “PA’S ROSWELL”: Well, something came down in Kecksburg, Pennsylvania, in 1965. An object was seen in the sky. There was a meteorite that night, and it went through a number of different states. Citizens of the community saw — some of them saw it actually make a few turns. It came in fairly slowly and landed in the woods near Kecksburg. A number of witnesses actually saw the object on the ground. Others saw a very extensive military presence come into the region. They cordoned off the area. They kept people away and eventually carted away something on the back of a flatbed truck.

This is what the people of the area tell us. The Air Force has told us that nothing came down that night. So we have a contradiction here, and I’m interested in trying to access information that will solve that mystery.

KING: What do you believe?

KEAN: I don’t know what it was. There’s no way to know. We know that something came down. It could have been a Russian probe. We don’t know what it was, and I’m not in a position to formulate an opinion. I just want — I believe that the people have the right to the information, the people of Pennsylvania, in particular, who have really suffered a lot by having that information denied to them. And I just think people have a right to know. It was, you know, 1965. Why not tell people what happened there?

The entire program transcript is at this link. It wasn’t long before we were scrambling back over to the safety of telemundo to catch an episode of Ladrón de Corazones. I’ve also become obsessed with a show called los teens.

“Rats blamed for mysterious cattle mutilations”

Recent mutilations of cattle and horses in the Argentine countryside were the work of rodents, scientists said on Monday, not ritualistic slayings by extraterrestrials or vampires as some farmers feared.

Argentina’s national food and animal health inspection service Senasa sent its own “X-Files” scientists to the remote plains to look into the deaths of farm animals found mutilated and drained of blood….

Sure, that’s what they want us to believe.

don't look the gift horse in the mouth

This weekend if I go out to visit my parents I’m going to be a sitting duck when the aliens come. On the other hand, the swelling is my friend. They couldn’t cast my broken foot because of the swelling.

Washington, DC. Summer. Cast. No.

This is old now, but I keep forgetting to post it:

does it get any more exciting than this?

Finally, the disclosure project is going to give us proof that extraterrestrials exist! In the event that you prefer not to leave little digital tracks on websites of, well, questionable organizations, here’s an excerpt from the press release:

On Wednesday, May 9th, over twenty military, intelligence, government, corporate and scientific witnesses will come forward at the National Press Club in Washington, DC to establish the reality of UFOs or extraterrestrial vehicles, extraterrestrial life forms, and resulting advanced energy and propulsion technologies. The weight of this first-hand testimony, along with supporting government documentation and other evidence, will establish without any doubt the reality of these phenomena, according to Dr. Steven M. Greer, director of the Disclosure Project, which is hosting the event.

How can you doubt them any longer? How dare we call them a questionable organization – they’re going to prove to us, “without any doubt” that these things exist. It says so right in the press release. These people can’t possibly be crazy, they worked for the government!
