There are ample lists elsewhere to debate the unprovable.<br> <br> I am not prejudice against UFie's but feel that UFO talk is fruitless with respect to meteorites. The door is closed here because to a "UFie", EVERY meteor/fireball is a crashing space ship and they go on ad nasueum in discussion, ignoring the observable facts. They believe what they believe in spite of other less romantic more mundane evidence. UFO discussion groups stack evidence with non evidence in piles supporting their conclusions and discard evidence to the contrary. So no personal ping on this Rosemary. In this case, if I were debating, I'd ask questions about assumptions of facts which are not in evidence-- e.g. Who recovered the flight data/voice recorders and determined the crew's intentions? <br> <br> Regards,<br> Thanks, and Just wanted to nip this in the bud<br> Elton<br> </body> </html> Received on Mon 23 Sep 2002 04:42:30 PM PDT |
