All I can say is WOW! You have done a lot of work here and my hat is off to you. I look forward to your final conclusion as to if this Aussie Bloke is for real or not. Good luck in your attempt to contact him. I bet his phone is ringing off the hook by now.

There is a known dust cloud call "the coal bucket" visible only from the southern skies and around the previous millennium, predictions of incoming dust clouds and objects traveling in threesomes by Australian "prophets".

I'd like to know how everybody is CONVINCED that it was a meteor that killed off the dinosaurs. Me, I believe it was Noah's flood that did it...

I'm pretty convinced. It has to do with a substance called iridium, something that is found very commonly in meteorites, but not in great quantities on the planet. Geological "evidence" (not proof mind you) shows that approximately 65 million years ago a very LARGE piece of rock hit. Other geological evidence shows that it hit around the Yucatan Penn. in Central America. Further evidence shows that the entire planet was pretty much covered by dusty debris from that rock, and about 65 million years ago, the dinosaurs vanished within a few years of that time, as did a huge host of other life forms (including plant life and sea life of all sorts).

The problem is that folks tend to believe what they want to believe. So, unless you see some evidence that can convince you something else caused it (not belief, evidence) then, I guess you stick with what you know to be accurate.

This is unbelievable! I think I'd better run to Home Depot for some silver spray paint and sell some umbrellas while the gettin's good!

No, silly, you got it wrong. DUCT TAPE and PLASTIC! :)

About this "update". Hahahahahahaha....

For our own protection, because it´s becoming abundantly clear that civil/criminal litigation may result from this experiment, we cannot and will not identify ourselves, nor will we reveal any details that might readily be traced to us. We´re confident that using IP logs will prove frustrating for you, at best.


This TOO is SOOOOOOOOOOOOOO typical of these hoaxers. This is the same crap our own web site went through with the so-called "Time Traveler" story from a couple years back. haha. If the hoaxers aren't in there trying to confuse and scare people, then the so-called DEBUNKERS are in there trying to go one up on them. This is hilarious.

Firetrack, I'm not sure I'll ever have any contact with him. I'm kind of well-known in the Anomalies community though, and I've had people call me names, call me a "believer" and call me a "debunker". I'm not any of those things. I am not going to go over the top like I've seen a few do and just throw fun at something like this. From a purely scientific point of view, this "story" is credible in that it COULD BE TRUE.

(We went through a similar thing awhile back with a purported time traveler, with whom many of us had contact. His STORY was good, but full of holes, like this Aussie fella. But, in the end, we could not locate even a vague reproduction of his supposed time machine, thus kind of showing that it was either produced from bits and pieces of things and that we couldn't DISPROVE anything. Which, looking back was a wrong approach on our part. Still and all, this story is precisely in the same vein as that story. Some real science thrown in for effect, and a guy who seems to be a nutcase, with some credibility. Either way, these sorts of stories are coming out with increasing furvor throughout the internet.)

It's a shame really, that people will fall for anything, believe anything that relies on FEARS and/or religious beliefs, and even "prophecy". We probably wouldn't have terrorists in our world if it weren't for such beliefs. I for one, do not believe in "prophecy". I'm not ovely religious and I most certainly have an open mind about a lot of things.

What I DO believe in, is the ability of people to be easily mislead. This thread is still going because of a lot of curiousity among folks, and the "train wreak mentality" of the human race. It's psychological. There are a lot of people who "BELIEVE" in things that aren't and CAN'T be true. There are those who DISBELIEVE in things that ARE TRUE and PROVEABLE. You can't get away from that in human thinking. People just want to KNOW. That's all.

Me personally, I'm just some boring guy who likes science and can explain a lot of it, because I understand it. And I've always loved teaching. Doesn't mean I'm a scientist. There are many people who don't CARE, don't want to know, and sincerely could care less about bothering to do research on a subject. This subject is interesting to me, and many others. THAT'S why the thread is going (I noted that whomever it was that asked, CHECKED to see if it was still going, by the way :))

As for the so-called "Group taking credit"... this happens all the time too. Note that THEY won't tell you who they are, they claim they use spoofed IP address, ad infinitium, ad nauseum. In other words, those folks are exactly like the original guy who started this whole thing. They are probably connected. The story fell apart because a lot of people did a lot of reseach. They figured the BEST WAY OUT was to "admit it was a hoax" but to put a sort of new twist on it, by saying this was all planned, etc.

Either way, the radio communication remains a "mystery" and they lay no claim to that. I CAN and WILL get to the bottom of THAT story eventually. (I think that might be some hoax too), even so, the radio information and the data in the background IS REAL, whatever it is.
