The small stature of the “beings” Zamora saw was not a “possibility”! He saw small beings!
Correction: He said he saw. Tiny difference in the wording, big difference in the significance.

Precisely! Straight from the horses mouth (as the saying goes). But if mere handwaving dismissal as anecdote is the best you've got, then you need to think again.
My hypotheses are that UFOs exist (as unidentified aerial phenomena - meaning also unidentifiable as mundane objects) and that "aliens" exist (as a hypothetical explanation for UFOs - meaning NOT necessarily ET in spaceships).
I have been presenting cases to support my hypotheses.
There is no such thing as a "best case' in this regard - merely a preponderance of evidence as represented in a number of cases.
Not that I don’t trust your sources… but do you have any verifiable reference for the assertion that Betty cash was “reluctant” to provide her car for examination?The part of this story that immediately jumped at me when I first came across it was the reluctance by Cash to provide the car (with the claimed finger prints molded into the dash board) for examination to the investigator, making what seemed to me (opinion only) to be a lame excuse which lead to no photographs or verified account of the existence of such a fantastic physical feature of this story. Also I don't believe anyone checked with the highways department to see if the piece of road (reportedly burned and resurfaced within 24 hours) had actually done any road resurfacing and what reason they gave if they had carried out works.
Rramjet - You realise that the level of detail about Betty Cash's 'medical condition' are not detailed enough for a third party to be able to make any sort of accurate speculation as to the cause?
I've no idea why you'd be against anyone seeing her medical records unless you were unsure they actually supported your UFOlogists conclusion... which of course is based upon 'the level of detail available' which isn't enough to conclude or speculate much.
See, in my opinion, it would either totally debunk the Radiation story, or it would add to the mystery... personally, either way is cool by me.

There is a “purported” witness to the highway paving being done (http://www.abovetopsecret.com/forum/thread428048/pg1) but it is merely a “recollection” posted to a blog… do you have any more “solid” or verifiable references to this?
I have NO objection to ANYONE obtaining the medical records of Betty Cash – indeed, I would be personally interested to see them! I am merely interested in the verifiable facts of the case. If anyone is interested, a revealing TRANSCRIPT of taped interview held at Bergstom Air Force Base Law Library Building 2102, 17 August 1981, between Betty Cash, Vicki Landrum, Colby Landrum and representatives of the United States Air Force in the persons of Captain John Camp, Acting Staff Judge Advocate, Captain Terry Davis, Claims Officer, and Miss Pat Wolf, Assistant Claims Officer, conducted 8 months after the incident can be seen here: (http://www.ufocasebook.com/CashLandrum1.html). It makes for some rather compelling reading…
Has the mysterious transformation of anecdotes into data started?
NO? Not a little bit? What a disappointment! LOL.
So now I understand why you don’t seem to understand the importance of the cases I am presenting.
If an “unidentified” person walked into a bar, and they look and act like any other human in that bar, then we would have no reason to assume they were anything other than human.
However, if they started floating near the ceiling, disappearing from one end of the bar to suddenly appear at the other with no intermediary steps, or moving across the room without moving their arms or legs, then we would have to begin to consider alternate hypotheses...

This does not compute. How (and why) can she stand there for a few minutes (saying later ~15 in such an intense heat?the heat was so intense, I didn't know whether to run, to get back in the car, or what, and I stood there for few minutes.
<snip>
the door handle was so hot I couldn't stand it with my bare hand
Let me ask you did you report it to any law enforcement authorities.
BC: Yeah, sure.
CJC:Who did you report it to?
BC:I didn't report it to any of 'em,
there was helicopters completely around the object.
<snip>
I counted twenty three.
<snip>
I don't think they'd be... that they were that far (from the object), maybe so, I can't, I won't say. Because unless I can be sure I'm not going to say.
CJC: OK. Uh... What exactly did you see on the side of the helicopters? what exactly did it say?
BC: Uh... "United States Air Force"
CTD: Written out (clears throat) completely long?
BC: No.
CTD: OK, what..
BC: It was round
CTD: No, I mean you saw the words "United States Air Force" all the words were spelled out
BC: No.
Again, very confusing answers.
I also would like to see documented some of the physical phenomena like burned trees, fingerprints on a melted dashboard, etc.
I'm working from memory here as I haven't read anything about this case for a few years. It may have been a piece written by Bob Pratt that I read that mentioned this.Not that I don’t trust your sources… but do you have any verifiable reference for the assertion that Betty cash was “reluctant” to provide her car for examination?
And as much use as an article from Earthfiles then.There is a “purported” witness to the highway paving being done (http://www.abovetopsecret.com/forum/thread428048/pg1) but it is merely a “recollection” posted to a blog… do you have any more “solid” or verifiable references to this?
You say this whilst apparently not realising the amount of potentially verifiable stuff that has been completely overlooked by the UFOlogists, which would add credibility to their work had they bothered.I have NO objection to ANYONE obtaining the medical records of Betty Cash – indeed, I would be personally interested to see them! I am merely interested in the verifiable facts of the case.
I'll have a look at that later when I get a minute and if I come across the article I remember reading, I'll post a link.If anyone is interested, a revealing TRANSCRIPT of taped interview held at Bergstom Air Force Base Law Library Building 2102, 17 August 1981, between Betty Cash, Vicki Landrum, Colby Landrum and representatives of the United States Air Force in the persons of Captain John Camp, Acting Staff Judge Advocate, Captain Terry Davis, Claims Officer, and Miss Pat Wolf, Assistant Claims Officer, conducted 8 months after the incident can be seen here: (http://www.ufocasebook.com/CashLandrum1.html).

how about a different approach rroger
using your logic, how many zeros do you have to add up to make one ?

Not a good look, and pretending to be a dead Pharaoh is the height of credibility, by comparison.
But...but...but you mean...you're not really a dead Pharaoh? All my illusions have just shattered.
Excuse me a while - I have to go and think things over.
Akhenaten is obviously not dead, if he were dead he could not post here.
Anyway, I am back from 3 weeks of no net connection.
Have any evidence of aliens appeared?![]()
I saw some bright red lights in the sky at the exit from the pirate section of the bay of Aden. They were moving away from the vessel at high speed and making a great noise.
What's a gay rodeo called when it's performed on water?
Tracer.
Why? What is there in anything you've presented that isn't anecdote? Some people saw something and didn't know what it is. In internet vernacular, "cool story, bro" but so what? A cop's car had a dent in it. Ok. And? This isn't evidence, they're barely interesting stories.Precisely! Straight from the horses mouth (as the saying goes). But if mere handwaving dismissal as anecdote is the best you've got, then you need to think again.
Stop. Once more: no one is disputing UFOs exist. We are disputing your interpretation of what they are. You do not need to prove a hypotheis that UFOs exist.My hypotheses are that UFOs exist (as unidentified aerial phenomena - meaning also unidentifiable as mundane objects)
Again, please tell us what your hypothesis is. Perhaps you should go and look at what the word means first.and that "aliens" exist (as a hypothetical explanation for UFOs - meaning NOT necessarily ET in spaceships).
Ok, you've successfully shown that people sometimes see stuff in the sky and don't know what it is. No one was disputing this, but OK. Now what? Nothing you've put forward proves aliens, and you apparently don't have a case that does, so how does a collection of UFO stories prove aliens? As we've been asking since the beginning, how does a collection of bad evidence combine into a piece of good evidence? Please, explain your reasoning.I have been presenting cases to support my hypotheses. There is no such thing as a "best case' in this regard - merely a preponderance of evidence as represented in a number of cases.
