Chris, I like part of that idea. It'd be nice if he could get something in writing from the NPS that formally declares this to be the same body. Also, It'd be wonderful to obtain a statement from the people condemning the disrespect shown by Maussan by dragging this beyond the point of a farce...

José Antonio Caravaca has put together a nice article that includes this new FOIA material from Shepherd Johnson. It serves as a fitting finale to the Slides story. The article is in Spanish, but there's a built in translator at the bottom right of the page. Esos Misteriosos Objetos Celestes y...

Important notice about the above: The FOIA request log is online, and Shepherd Johnson's request for this is on page 47. There's no listing for another such request, certainly not from a "Bragalia," who's angling for credit for these documents. http://www.nps.gov/aboutus/foia/upload/MAY-2015.pdf

No, we are into the overkill phase, and have been for weeks. The only question in my mind is, Intentional hoax, or the perfect storm of ineptitude, hubris and gullibility?

The regular episode. Chris mentions it in the opening segment, and again in the conversation with AR.

Alejandro investigated the slides case, and he's one of the few that met most of the players, and interviewed them personally. He also has a really pragmatic, realistic view on the situation. The slides are done, but Jaime Maussan & the Slides promoters who refuse to let it die by creating false...

That's not quite what I meant. What I was trying to say was that many people (of all persuasions) are blinded by confirmation bias and only respond favorably to data that doesn't challenge their beliefs. Many of these people don't understand that those who disagree with us are not necessarily...

Dang! Sorry I missed getting a question in, but I'll be tuning in. I've been in touch with Alejandro a bit, and he's dug deep into the Slides saga, one of the few reporting on it to personally verify the deblurring of the placard. Also, he's managed to get in touch with the now-reclusive Adam...

The show is clunky, but interesting to me for many reasons, one of which is the penetration of UFO ideas into mainstream culture. Also interesting for how they adapted Blue Book cases, and how imaginatively the UFOs were portrayed, sort of a low-budget "Close Encounters." Here's an article...

I met Nab Lator (and Gilles Fernandez) in the French UFO forum UFO Scepticisme in 2012 while discussing the Cash-Landrum case. I became friends with the both of them, and they were already part of our discussion group that evolved into the RSRG. The scenario of Nab being a plant or producing a...

Provenance was being vetted. The biggest concern that it was too good to be true. We could not understand (and still don't) how this could have been missed.

Hard to say, really. Everyone keeps saying Dew, but Slidebox Media, LLC is owned by partners, one of which is Joe Beason, and we can't know for certain which one posted the placard image on the wee hours of 5/9/15.

It's not much of a mystery. The placard scan was released to the RSRG a day or so ahead of the placement on the Slidebox Media site. Now for something completely different: Don Schmitt was on a KGRA show with Jimmy Church, a live “Contact in the Desert” special. (2nd hand report) The apology...

George, the placard was made that way to obscure the mummy's missing leg.
