Kevin D. Randle

Good conversation. I must admit, I had always taken Kevin to be somewhat of a skeptic which was borne out by his remarks about cattle mutilations and Linda Howe. So I was somewhat startled when he said he believes the government has alien bodies in their possession.

Randle's a bright guy, no doubt. As Moseley observed, he's a pretty balanced researcher when it comes to everything but... Roswell.
I can't believe people are still going on about the Ramey memo. That, and a few sentences from Pappy Henderson, are gonna be smoking guns for this case? That's pretty
thin stuff to me. That's all there is?

I don't know about anyone else, but I am tired of listening about Roswell speculation. God, give it a rest please! It has been 66 years years and nothing has been resolved. All it is now is a money making venture for the Roswell community and those who want to write and speculate about it still.

I kinda sorta agree. I mean, on one hand I would be very interested in some solid NEW evidence to support the Roswell story. And I mean some MAJOR evidence, not just some new person saying something happened there.

On the other hand, I think it's past the point of that ever coming to fruition. What I would really like is to hear more about NEW cases that are properly backed up with some good evidence.

I would also like more shows on non-UFO topics. Not that UFOs aren't fascinating. But it's the Paracast . . . not the UFOcast. Where are the other paranormal topics? Give me some shows on ghosts, reincarnation, ESP, etc.

A good show. I've got more than one of KDR's books. They always make a good addition to any UFO library. I also hope Chris is feeling better. He'd mentioned he had gotten sunburned not long ago. My comments start with the questions posed by KDR and COB regarding alien acquisition of biological material from range animals. For the sake of argument let's suppose that aliens are behind some high-strangeness cases and address those questions. These questions were asked in a manner that was obviously meant to imply that the whole idea is ridiculous. Perhaps it is. Or perhaps it's not quite as ridiculous as was implied.

• Q. Why not pick a lock and steal it from a slaughter house?
• A. Obviously breaking into a slaughterhouse would make the crime a certainty that would require police follow-up rather than the scene being ambiguous and left to amateur paranormal investigators that the authorities aren't going to take seriously. The remote locations also reduce the likelihood of witnesses.
• Q. If you're doing it for genetic material wouldn't it be easier to just abduct the barrels from behind the barber shops?
• A. Obviously these questions are being asked in jest. In these cases, the material being taken is specific and related to reproduction. Hair is obviously not the best source of sample material. we shouldn't presume some Jeff Bridges Starman type ability on the part of the aliens in order to substantiate our personal bias.
• Q. Why don't they use nanotechnology?
• A. Nanotechnology would not be capable of gathering and transporting the volume of samples from the cases. We also use nanotechnology, but we still have to run the analysis and experiments in labs, often with large and cumbersome machinery.

The above isn't meant as an endorsement of an ET explanation, but given Chris' own reporting of bovine hemoglobin being nearly identical to that of humans, it does fit the hypothesis that if aliens are behind the high-strangeness cases, that they might be gathering it along with human samples as part of a reanimation program back to biological form.

• I agree with Randle's assessment of the Mogul explanation for the same reasons he states. I've looked at the same documents he cites and also checked the prevailing weather conditions for the area. Like he says, given the evidence, it's just not plausible that the Rosewell incident was a Project Mogul balloon. I also agree with his explanation for Gene's question as to why it couldn't have been a secret device out of White Sands where scientists were working on rockets.
• Given what Decker's told us, why would Randle even give Kal Korf the time of day, let alone take anything he says seriously enough to follow up on?
• I found it interesting how Randle started off saying how he thought that an Earth based explanation for UFOs is the most likely because the ETH requires distances that are too large, but then went on to debunk his own reservations, and ended up saying he just didn't know how to answer that question.
• Gene's Question: Why hasn't some whistleblower like Snowden come forward who can be believed? Randle's answer was pretty good, particularly his reference to formerly secret UFO documents. But ultimately the main reason wasn't addressed, and that is because making claims about the use of existing technology is more believable than claims about UFO cover ups. Whoever the whistleblower is would need more than allegations or documents. They'd need verifiable material evidence.
• Loved the reminiscing about the old radio shows. We have a program here on QR77 called: Those Old Radio Shows, and I got listening to it and was glued to it for several years while staying up late to work on my projects. They also have Detective Johnny Dollar, Lone Ranger, Detective Richard Diamond, Jack Benny ( often hilarious ) and more. Once in a while they even play Orson Wells' version of War of The Worlds. These old shows even had the original commercials ( More doctors smoke Camels than any other brand ). Yes I enjoyed the movie version of The Shadow too. I think we rented it from something they used have here before Netflix called Blockbuster Video.
• I still like to have a real book in my hands. No need to worry about batteries and much easier to share. No downloading from one device to another and paying again and again. For that matter no device needed period. Way easier to buy sell and trade privately. No electronic trail. Cash. It's the last great "off the grid" form of information exchange.
• Good points about the FOIA being all watered down so much as to be almost pointless.
• Excellent closing point about getting people to take the word UFO seriously. Once again we're reminded that this issue is not dead or irrelevant ( as some would claim ).

It would have been nice to get more information about the possible piece of Roswell debris from Pappy Henderson's wife. Would it have been so hard to search though two huge sheds? Hire some people and get to it. Get you hands on some memory metal and case solved.

There was an article several years back claiming some company had actually invented memory metal ( not back in Roswell days, but more recently ). They had a photo and it seemed perfectly legit. I haven't heard a thing about it since. It was around the same time that some guy claimed to have invented a paint that would cause whatever was painted with it to resist heat. He'd paint an egg with the stuff and then put a blow torch on it and the egg wouldn't even get hot. The formula for that was bought by the military ( apparently ). Anyway, the point is, nowadays, even if we find a piece of memory metal, how can we be sure it's from an alien craft and not planted? The skeptics would immediately point out that there's no verifiable chain of evidence and a single piece of memory metal does not an alien craft make.

Good show, well-spoken man.

I think I like it when I'm put me on the trail along with investigators, hearing how they weigh info and witnesses and such, find documents etc. Revisiting old cases and going over some small new details is also often as interesting as the new stuff, to me.

 

[SonofaSkunk]

Good show. Kept me interested except for the Roswell segment. I'm with some of the others who have said let's give it a little rest and focus on some interesting new cases. There are plenty of them out there.
