Here is one for free because it appears that everyone else has forgotten.
The alleged Roswell UFO crash in 1947 and evidence from it was exposed as a fake story in the early 1950s. Journalist Frank Scully let's see what Wikipedia has to say about him:
"....publicized the Aztec, New Mexico UFO hoaxwhen, in 1949, he authored two columns in Variety claiming that dead extraterrestrial beings were recovered from a flying saucer crash.Scully's 1950 book Behind the Flying Saucers expanded on the themes of flying saucer crashes and dead extraterrestrials, with Scully describing one of his sources as having "more degrees than a thermometer." In 1952 and 1956, True magazine published articles by San Francisco Chronicle reporter John Philip Cahnthat purported to expose Scully's sources as con artists who had hoaxed Scully. Scully's 1963 book In Armour Bright also included material about alleged flying saucer crashes and dead extraterrestrials.
The Aztec crash was a hoax. The Roswell crash was a hoax based on actual finds (you can argue about that). But Scully's super "more degrees than a thermometer" source was someone in intelligence. Spinning out fakery to distract and subvert Ufology in its early days.
The whole crashed UFOs story was discredited and only the odd conspiracy person even mentioned UFO crashed into the 1970s.
Charles Berlitz brought the whole thing back into the open with the book The Roswell Incident (1982). Who was Berlitz's co-author who, when I briefly met Berlitz in London back in the 1980s, told me had the Roswell information leaked by a U.S. Intelligence officer? Oh...William Moore the Ufologist who had to admit (he was about to be exposed) that he had spied on Ufologists, reported on their activities and even fed false information to his 'friends' (but would not identify the others he worked with -I have two names unconfirmed). My late colleague Frankly A. Davin-Wilson met Leonard Stringfield the veteran Ufologist at a 1980s BUFORA conference and talked to him about his work on crash-retrievals. He was told (without naming names) that the information Stringfield had from former military personnel could not be challenged as it came from a man in the Air force Office of Special Investigations (AFOSI).
Richard Doty was handling Moore as well as doing dirty work on Paul Bennewitz and it is highly likely that Stringfield got information from Doty -that has already been discussed in certain UFO circles. I doubt Doty was Scully's sources but it goes to show that from the 1950s right up to date U.S. intelligence has used, deceived and now basically controls the UFO believers -remember the CIA infiltrated NICAP in the 1960s and destroyed it.
People: if I say I do not believe Elizondo (who is an awful actor and has admitted that he was asked to put his skills together and deal with Ufology -that he had no interest in) that is my opinion based on facts that have been uncovered. I do not even read the comments on Twitter over that.
If I have to point out the things that stick out like a sore thumb then... everyone has lost it. Interesting that nice guy Travis Taylor ("nuthin t' hide") the open scientist demanded that Greenstreet NOT be allowed to visit.
And clips of out of focus, illuminated spiders and insects -I have exactly the same on my game cams- are not impressing me and...the spin goes on (with a touch of Mormonism added in)
Avi Loeb...Luis Elizondo...that Christopher Mellon, Eric Davis and Jacques Vallee...those other grifters at Skinwalker Ranch....
I am far more concerned about whether I have enough toilet paper to last until the new year than what they have to say.
They want to con everyone into their "new paradigm"
MAKE them change from saying "UFO" to "UAP" -clunk heads fell for it.
MAKE them believe we are disclosing secrets while blowing hot air -done
MAKE Ufology split into factions where the truth seekers become the new villains and the silencers and plotters become the new heroes -done.
LEARN to look into things. Examine the evidence and look at UFO history and how people like Elizondo and Mellon that diverted and perverted it since the 1950s by using the same old tricks. Bennewitz believed these intelligence goofs (Richard Doty) believed and it drove him crazy and destroyed his life. William Moore under Doty's instructions lied and deceived Ufology but never revealed who the others within Ufology working with him were. Doty attends UFO events and conferences unchallenged.
How big a collective arse hole does Ufology have to become -or HAS it become?
So my attitude to posting will not change; anything I think might be of interest I will post but no more long and research intensive posts. This is all done for free and there is no support so.
I was enjoying Small Town Monsters but do you know what? It literally has become just another Finding Bigfoot series.
Firstly, for the love of whichever god or idol they worship -GET SOME DECENT SOUND EQUIPMENT! Same as all the paranormal programs that by ultra-high quality cameras but after 20 years or more of that trash still "Damn. The mic never picked up the voice3/sound!" and of course "Dammit! I was too slow and I don't think the camera caught the full body apparition in time!".
Enhancing alleged "tree knocks" and other sounds -in this episode there is no doubt that there are lynx calls and those explain the "baby crying" sounds reported. Come on ffs -these witnesses are hardcore woodsmen and hunters and they have no ***** idea what a lynx sounds like? As for the team I would have thought that by now they understand natures 'little secret' -animals and birds LIVE and MOVE ABOUT in the woods and forests. Sorry to break that to everyone. One of their cameras even films a wolverine -in fact they film mountain goats and bears and they do apparently know and understand there are wild animals in the area. Those would explain 90% of night time "sounds" that, even on repeat playback I can hear sod all on.
Get decent audio equipment or just do not bother. Its a joke. Digital recorders are NOT the high point of science either. All that noise and you have to try to make out what MIGHT be in amongst it all.... I have a digital recorder plus a hand held tape recorder. Repeatedly I have shown people how you can clearly hear things said 10 feet (3m) away with the (cheap) tape recorder but the digital one (expensive) is a mush of sound. It's no wonder paranormal scammers keep 'hearing' all these messages!
Then we have the footage. Or lack of footage. At the end of the episode, after 9 days at this 'high activity' site, we are told that with hindsight the team should have utilised its night cameras more than they did. What the actual F***????
You are going to an area where there are claims -nothing more than that- of high Bigfoot activity at night so you film a lot during the day (gotta have holiday footage) and at night use the weakest camera gear and constantly talk about rocks falling into the water. Rule 1 in investigation is that if something happens repeatedly, every night at the same location then the cause is very likely natural. Pure and simple. What you should do is put out audio recorders (for what they are worth because unless an animal says "Hello, I am a raccoon" or "I am a fox" then all you have is something moving about, growling or grunting. That is NOT evidence of anything and certainly not of "Bigfoot".
If you place out all of the night vision gear you have in conjunction with audio devices then you might get something. We are told (repeatedly) where all of the activity appears to be coming from but are any night cams placed out in those areas -No. Looking through FLIR scopes in dense woods/forests will get you nothing. And in this investigation that is what they got -nothing.
What sort of half-assed effort is this to gather evidence or film Bigfoot when the equipment that would really help is not utilised while the team has fun and a bit of a laugh around the camp-fire? Someone flipping over their kayak was turned into a drama sequence...I am guessing to relieve boredom between...well...nothing.
"There should be no hunters up here!" uh...okay, Einstein then those 'mysterious' sounds that everyone agrees were gunshots were...what? Very likely the sound of gunshots came from a fire-arm and who uses firearms -wolverines? Nope. Elk? Nope. Lynx? Nope. Oh -humans!
A "mystery" human handprint on the back of the cabin indicates that someone -a human being- was hanging around. One of those from the cabin itself? I'll believe them that it was none of them but you add the gunshots to the "rock throwing" and the fact that "something" was observing the cabin from high ground (the fire pit) and "something" was also making "wood knocks" and do you know what you have proven? That one or more persons was in the forest, maybe even living there permanently, and they were hunting as well as having fun with those at the cabin.
What appeared to be highly strange in the first part and had us all waiting for part two...well, in part 2 we find that there was no bigfoot activity band that the team were not even carrying out a proper investigation. It made the Finding Bigfoot team look like a hard core crack team of scientists while the Small Town Monsters crew were basically the Mountain Monsters team!
Having watched most of the series videos including those involving the house set bang smack in bigfoot territory (The Bigfoot Project) where we hear -or try to hear- the audio 'evidence' and listen to accounts of how they "think" they might have caught a glimpse of Bigfoot or were surrounded by some I give up. When you describe how a puma kills and caches its food then to say "We are not supposed to have mountain lions here so its a mystery" Well, no. It's a feckin' puma, dumb-asses! We know they are travelling about the US and often journey through areas where, officially, they do not exist -one of their documentaries (excellent, too) covers that very subject: Lions of the East.
Another thing about The Bigfoot Project is the finding of a lot -a lot- of cattle bones at a certain out of the way site. We know from studying puma that they drag their prey off (even a foal) to a secluded spot to eat and then cache and will even take some of the kill into a tree. A puma is not going to pile up 30+ (it is unclear in one clip if it is stated "50") and will not hang the pelvic bone on a broken low-hanging branch -it was in a position where it could not have been dropped from above and simply "caught" on the branch.
Look at this practically; everyone in the area is supposed to know each other. Strange lights have been seen at low level. I believe in one episode gunshots are mentioned. Firstly, people out poaching/hunting do not give a crap if they cross into private property. Isolated spot who is going to challenge them? So hunting explains some incidents especially if a 4x4 and lights are used (we have that in the UK) . The number of alleged cattle is almost ridiculous and the fact that the stench from decomposition has not been smelt indicates that the cattle were not all killed on site and that indicates two possibilities. Either the spot has been used to dump any dead cattle -the bones have never been tested for age but some look very old- over many years (legally with previous property owners consent or just as a "convenient spot"). The other possibility is that rustlers take cattle and butcher them at that location at night then leave the remains while all of the joints of meat are taken to sell. A possibility and when you remember that they have a good few coyotes locally then any waste meat/offal would be consumed quickly. I did ask whether checks had been made to see whether cattle had gone missing locally or whether anyone knew whether this was a local dump site -twice. On both occasions I received no response.
It's all very entertaining and full of played out drama and some very nice filming but in all honestly I have reached the stage where I am beginning to ask how much of this is genuine and not just entertainment? The STM people have also produced a short series on Bigfoot and other strange phenomena (The Ridge,etc) and the thing that strikes me -they are all very entertaining and some I have watched several times- is that those behind the series speak about UFOs and theories, etc but have only a very basic, almost newbie knowledge. In fact, some of those interviewed in the series who have "been at this 30 years now" display almost the same level of knowledge and in one episode a woman is interviewed who displays all the symptoms of being fantasy prone -it is so obvious.
For me the STM team is producing some entertaining films but not that I would take seriously anymore; I watch them to just chill after an 18 hour day when my brain just needs mush. Not quite as badly acted or faked as The Mid West Ghost Hunter and definitely not as faked and staged as Twin Paranormal but it does make me wonder whether they have decided that making entertainment is far more lucrative and productive than being scientific?
It still surprises me how dogma continues in various fields.
I have written a lot about unknown sea creatures, sightings and reports and how I believe humans managed to wipe them out through various activities.
Newspapers during the 19th century queried reports of the "great se3a serpent" when they were made outside of established seasons (migrations). Even naturalists and zoologists seriously studied reports but as these people eventually died off and making fun was more profitable (professionally and in journalism) all of the old established data was ignored or, more accurately, was not read: established as a zoologist or a reporter WHY should you read old texts? Just go with what is convenient and mock anyone who tries to treat the matter seriously.
I cannot put all I have written into a brief comment but Arthur C Clarke and, more importantly (?), Sir David Attenborough (the latter in the book Li9fe on earth) both declared that they would never doubt the existence of 'sea monsters' or their being discovered. It was for this reason that I was often in touch with the Natural History Museum in London to forward photographs or remains washed ashore for identification.
Why are no "sea monsters" reported today? Maybe they are now so rare and avoid the noisy ships traversing the Oceans and seas. Maybe they have become extinct? Then, perhaps, they are seen but very few people in isolated waters tend to carry camera phones or cameras around deck with them. Even if they did they might be lost amongst the sea of You Tube fakery.
Avoid You Tube and blogs where the person jumped from "UFO" to "UAP" as they are assisting the massive con perpetrated by the counter intelligence committee and people like Elizondo to usurp the already messy Ufology.
Avoid "UFO Twitter" .... just avoid it. It makes a mockery of any serious Ufology and just promotes scammers and fakers (as above).
Editor’s note: The following story has been reprinted, with permission, from the online news site: Walworthcountycommunitynews.com.
By Dan Plutchak
Linda Godfrey, the author who gained fame after first writing about the legend of the Beast of Bray Road in 1991 in Walworth County’s weekly newspaper has died at the age of 71.
A visitation will be conducted at Albrecht Funeral Homes and Cremation Services, Milton, on Friday, Dec. 2, from 10 a.m. until 11 a.m., followed by a funeral service at 11 a.m. (OBITUARY)
The tale of the Beast of Bray Road spread rapidly following her story published in The Week in December of 1991.
“The rumors floated around town for two years or so before I heard them,” she wrote. “A wolfish-looking creature that ran on two legs and had been seen around the Bray Road area, stealing chickens, eating roadkills, and scaring the daylights our of locals who (sometimes literally) ran into it.”
Syndicated news shows quickly caught on to the story, with TV crews making their way to Delavan to interview Godfrey about recent sightings of The Beast.
The National Enquirer even paid Godfrey and staff photographer Terry Mayer to stake out Bray Road for any signs of the Beast.
Elkhorn’s Christmas parade that year had a float featuring the Beast.
The story launched an amazing new career for Godfrey as an investigative researcher where she authored over 20 books including novels, true crime and cryptozoology.
She was a world-renowned cryptozoologist and appeared on numerous TV and radio programs and was a popular speaker at conferences and events across the country, according to her obituary.
Her story also inspired numerous sci-fi movie screenplays.
Godfrey and her husband, Steve, moved to Delavan in 1978 and lived in the Walworth County area until 2016, when they moved to Janesville.
She is described as a talented artist, writer and speaker, loving wife, mother and grandmother. She was also known as a devoted Christian and attended First Evangelical Lutheran Church in Elkhorn.
The Godfreys have two sons, Benjamin (Holly) Godfrey of Pewaukee, and Nathan (Noelle) of Milwaukee; grandchildren Marshall Eiden, Callum Godfrey and Rory Godfrey; siblings Cheryl Roberts, Larry (Diane) Roberts, Pam Roberts, Paul Roberts, Richard (Brenda) Roberts, and Tim (Dawn) Roberts.
It's very sad to hear about someone you liked passing away and although I told Linda that I did not believe all the transforming into wolves/dogmen stories I also told her to keep searching and recording and to one day surprise me. Wechatted about dogmen, werewolves as well as her once doodling on art by a famous comic book artist (she did not know that at the time). I helped her out on vatrious things but mainbly a minor contribution to I Know What I Saw.
