Well, there you go again - lots of empty claims instead of facts.Originally Posted by Fisherking
There were no 'mass sightings' of UFO's over the White House in 1952. There were unexplained radar blips at Andrews air base and a handful of people reported seeing fast-moving blue-ish or orange lights in the air. Harry Truman himself demanded to know what was going on. The Air Force's best efforts led to the 'temperature inversion' hypothesis: a layer of hot air in between two colder layers had diverted radar signals from objects on the ground, making them look like aircraft. It was a hot clear day, after all, and the phenomenon was known to radar personnel in the D.C. area.
Not entirely satisfying, you say? Then why don't you come up with a better explanation instead of suggesting some government conspiracy?
By the way, if you want to believe in a government conspiracy at all costs, I suggest you adopt the inverse conspiracy. It is clearly in the goverment's interest to encourage citizens to regard all sightings of military experiments, reconnaissance flights and other top-secret operations as UFO's.
Who'da thunk, eh?
EDIT
Oh, and here is another nice one.
The entire population? You mean there is some video footage of the July 11, 1991, solar eclipse above Mexico City showing what looked to some untrained observers as a 'spaceship'. In reality, it was Venus passing in front of the sun at the exact same moment as the moon. At magnitude -4.46, which made its image unusually clear and sharply defined. The Mexican astronomical community was delighted with the beautiful sighting of this planet above their capital.Originally Posted by KafirChobee
But of course some of the footage has to be compiled into an idiotic video by a couple of greedy imbeciles -- Lee and Brit Elders to be precise, a pair who believe in conversations with the dead, stellar messages for mankind, and assorted nonsense -- and presented as 'undeniable evidence' of a UFO above MC.
Instead of asking why so many people deny the 'evidence', we should rather ask ourselves why so many people are prepared to believe such utter crap.
SECOND EDIT
And for good measure, here's your Roswell incident for you.
