Very enjoyable show. Again, huge props to Goggs & count me as another one who supports the idea of making him a regular guest
Now a couple of things I wanted to point out:
There was some mentioning on how sometimes you can tell whether a video is fake or not by studying the reaction of the cameraman, and/or additional people on-frame. That got me thinking about the also-mentioned Russian videos of last Feb 15th.
When I first saw those dash-cam videos, they felt fake to me because I'd have expected the drivers to react to this amazing celestial event, by way of swerving or hitting the brakes hard. But instead they kept going without slowing down!
...Then again, maybe they're used to all kind of weird things happening on those Russian roads
So my point is that it's really hard to gauge how people will react when confronted by something outside their normal frame of reference.
And finally a quick mention about the SIRIUS documentary: Yes, I do agree that Greer is something of an attention whore with disquieting megalomaniac tendencies. And yes, Sirius engages in quite a lot of ego-stroking & New-Agey Space-Brotherly stuff —not to mention Greer's bodyguard who likes to show his big deltoids for the camera every 10 minutes or so (WTF!)— yet I still think the film deserves to be watched.
A lot of things were said about the so-called Atacama humanoid prior to the film's release, and even I was convinced that thing was nothing but a mummified fetus —"Greer's alien Mini-me" I jokingly called it. But Dr. Nolan & Dr. Lachman analyses strongly indicate that (a) the thing is not a monkey —like the one Jaime Maussan was promoting a couple of years ago— & (b) there are no known syndromes that can account for all the malformations observed on it. And most importantly, that its bone structure indicates this... thing, lived to be 6 to 8 years old.
So even though there's NO WAY to prove Ata is of extraterrestrial origin —because for that we would have to track its provenance, and have other independent samples to compare it with— it is still a very interesting biological mystery nonetheless.
Did Greer over-hyped the findings? Maybe. Is it the 'smoking gun' of other-worldly visitation? Most certainly not.
But to me Ata is as ambiguous as the majority of the UFO evidence I've studied over the years, allowing you to project your particular belief system onto it: If you're a hardcore skeptic, the thing is a human aberration and that's the end of it. If you're a true believer, then Ata is conclusive proof that we are not alone, and that aliens have intermingled with us for at least 100 years.
BUT... they do have a camera ready.
