Thursday 11am - A UFO witness from Brinkhill, Louth says he is worried about being abducted by aliens after repeatedly seeing triangle-shaped aircraft near his home He said: "I have been watching these space ships for six weeks now, and saw eight together on September 25 and more again last night. It was really spooky and I can say for sure that any explanation these are just Chinese lanterns is ridiculous."

Not counting Polraoids and Kodak Instamatics, my first real camera was a Minolta XG-1, followed by a couple X-700s over the years.
I got tired of messing with film and processing but once digital matured a little I decided to try it. I do love the variable ISO and the endless exposures (click click click click!).
Now I just need to work on being better.
“Now I just need to work on being better.”
Don’t we all?
My brother had an X700. He's part of the reason I shelled out the bucks for that 7000. That body and a 70-210 and a 28-135 was a lot of dough then. Oh, got the battery grip and a shuuter release cord and a tripod. Was raring to pay for a lot of trashed shots.
Now this SX100 will do all that the Minolta would, except for bracketing. But some "hackers" have figured out how to get a lot of extra features from later Canon cameras. For some reason I can't make a memory card bootable. One of these days....
I gather the answer to all 3 avoided questions was
NO
NO
AND
NO.
You have little more than fractional hints about what I truly think on any handful of a long list of specifics in this large field.
I doubt you have studied it since 1962. Are you even that old?
I doubt you’ve had a close relative who worked around it.
I doubt you’ve met and talked at length with as many internationally famous researchers on 2 continents and from 3 continents as I have.
If anyone’s lack of critical thinking skills and gullibility are extra overblown features of their approach to this field, it would appear that both are true in your case.
We shall see which of my assertions bears out in due course. I have no apologies to make at this time.
And Stanton Friedman is top flight.
My only concern about him is that the last time or two I’ve met him and listened to him lecture . . . he’s begun to sound like a globalist shill in behalf of a world government to deal with the UFO/ET stuff. Nothing too dramatic but enough for someone well read and paying attention to notice it very clearly.
While I predicted such 3-4 decades ago, it saddens me to see him come down on that side even though I’ve long suspected it.
ATS has a motto
DENY IGNORANCE
Sounds like you could profit from a lot of time there.
Klass is a government shill and has been shredded a number of times by the much more solid thinking and much more scientific Stanton Friedman.
I think Stanton got $1,000 off him because he asserted he’d pay Stanton $100 for every document of a certain type font Stanton could find prior to a certain year. Klass had asserted there were no such in any of the relevant government files.
Stanton knew better and knew Klass was talking off the top of his head.
Stanton produced 14 such documents. Klass did honor his word up to $1,000. I’ll give him that.
Otherwise, I think he’s an ignorant jerk.
Mine crashed and burned in Taiwan beyond repair. Worn out or some such, it seemed. I was shocked. Hadn’t used it THAT much.
Not really.
I’m just quite happy to stack my professional assessment of Stanton Friedman up against anyone’s layman or professional assessment of him.
Why bootable?
Not sure it's worth the effort
“Mine crashed and burned “
Had a Maxxum 7000?
I know a couple guys who have been arguing about whether or not the spores in the anthrax letters were coated with silica - for the past seven years.
How long have you two been at it? :-}
I “avoided” the questions because I have the capability to give Friedman nothing more than a passing glance.
And as has been stated elsewhere, you can pretend to be anything on the internet. Let’s see your bona fides, and some names of those you “know”.
Oh, silly me. You have friends in such high places, and if you told me, then you’d have to kill me, right?
Be careful, Quix. Your derangement is leaking through.
Uh, you do remember that I informed you a couple of months or so back that Klass has been dead for several years?
I’ll have to do my own research about your claims concerning Klass paying Friedman anything.
I appreciate the link, but never could get that HP program to work.
Oh, not all that long.
I consider it an honor to joust with him. It’s not every day that you encounter someone in a rubber room with internet privileges. :)
Yup. Loved it.
It must not have enjoyed all the being hauled around in a backpack. I didn’t really ware it out taking THAT many photos.
I forget the part the expert said was no longer available to fix it.
Hey!!! Maybe we’ll luck out and they’ll take BO off in their spaceship before the election.
JoJo has been derisive toward me for quite a number of years . . . and particularly about the UFO stuff.
Par for the course.
Ignorance often parades as erudite haughty loftiness hereon regarding that topic and those of us who’ve studied it the most.
What a ROTFLOL JOKE!
Me giving you any bonafides about anything! LOL.
That’s rich.
No. I don’t keep various kinds of trivia in long term memory very well. Not a priority.
I’m pretty sure it was Klass.
It might have been a peer of his, but I think it was Klass.
It’s likely even posted hereon from my notes from the last Aztec conference where Stanton was sharing that tidbit. Or did I catch him saying it on a C2C show . . . or both.
I forget. Some such. He went into quite a lengthy humorous monologue about the whole long thing with Klass.
Virtually none of the debunkers do their homework. They just pontificate irrationally off the top of their heads.
Therefore, Stanton, who is meticulous about doing his homework as well as being humorous, very bright and a very quick critical thinker.
It’s not surprising that his lessers have a hard time appreciating his qualities.
Post them for the rest of the world, then. Otherwise you’re blowing smoke.
