One Big Error, or, is only seeing believing?

By Pablo Fanque, National Affairs Editor



Maybe the one big error we all make is to not believe what we haven't seen; this runs from the mites that live on our eyelashes all the way up to old God himself (and everything in between).  But seeing is not everything. We do--many of us, anyway--believe in things we can't see...like love.

Sure, we've seen these mites in photographs, but that's quite different from, say, anytime you blink, seeing a herd of cooties skittering from eyelash to eyelash.   Photographic evidence of God is quite scarce.

One bit of good news on the eyelash front is that mites are so efficient that they eat but have no "exit system" or, in short, they are not dropping a deuce in your eye.

Alien Lore No. 210 - The crash artifacts from Roswell have been tested, and appear to be extraterrestrial

By Jack Brummet

According to the Open Minds website, tests have now confirmed that the crash debris from Roswell in 1947 have been tested and are confirmed to not have originated on this earth.

"A teacher at the New Mexico Military Institute in Roswell may have discovered the first scientific evidence of manufactured debris made on another planet. Furthermore, this debris was found near the location where pieces from an alleged flying saucer were discovered outside of Roswell in 1947."

Kimbler swept the crash site, focusing on areas where satellite images indicated possible debris.  He finally uncovered numerous fragments of metallic slag and other peculiar debris.  He had the debris analyzed in a number of tests, including magnesium isotope fractionation tests,

 Magnesium isotope fractionation chart modified from the graph used by Dr. Peter Sturrock in his analysis of the Ubatuba UFO fragment. Magnesium bearing compounds, metals, and minerals should all plot on or very close to the line. A chondite is a type of meteorite and since it does not originate from Earth does not plot on the line. The Roswell AH-1 alloy plots way of the line. The AH-1 plot is an anomaly that is either an analytical error or the material is not from Earth. More testing is needed to verify the data to see if it is an error or its from another world. (image credit: Frank Kimbler)

The Roswell crash debris, 64 years ago

Tests have confirmed the materials did not originate on earth.  Kimbler is being careful before making any definitive claims, but he is “hopeful.” He says certified labs don’t normally make mistakes, and that these people who did the work are some of the best in the business.  However, he is currently having the samples retested by two other laboratories.
