(2) Be channeling the spirit of a Roswell alien. (3) Be the re-incarnation of a Roswell alien.<br /><br />I think this episode linked below is the one:<br /><br />http://www.gokorea.info/cp/cpunplugged38.mp3<br /><br />Also, I don't know if you do watch this series, but if you can find the 3rd episode of series 13 of Air Crash Investigations (Also known as Mayday), and the 4th episode of the 11th season, both discuss the possible problems with eyewitness testimony.Grahamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08885769183690278872noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1071963771262525979.post-58196764926017721382014-08-06T13:20:49.189-05:002014-08-06T13:20:49.189-05:00Good examples, Graham.

I think any of the late-blooming statements by witnesses must be backed up with something just to be included as hearsay. Them saying "Me, too" is not enough.Curt Collinshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13773941506205598439noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1071963771262525979.post-31069986925642874092014-08-06T12:21:51.478-05:002014-08-06T12:21:51.478-05:00I would agree with you to be careful with this cla...I would agree with you to be careful with this claim. <br /><br />Following WWII there were a number of people who made false claims of being Spies, Commandos, etc <br /><br />And I have heard that there are now more homeless people in the US claiming to be Vietnam veterans than actually were sent there.<br /><br />Around 10 years ago someone, possibly using multiple fake online IDs tried to trick several Skeptics into taking part in a supposed debate about the Moon Hoax, for an unknown reason. <br /><br />An account of it can be read here:<br /><br />http://www.clavius.org/bibhawkins.html<br /><br />Lastly, I personally believe the only reliable statements would be those made in the 1980s. <br /><br />The further away you get from the incident the more chance there is for someone to make up a story using what has already been published or shown on TV about the case, especially after the internet came to being and allowed people to, for example use Google Maps or similar to check out the ground without actually having to go there.Grahamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08885769183690278872noreply@blogger.com
