Bill Birnes is an interesting character. He is a sponsor on the Paracast and involved in the 'UFO Hunters' TV show. The TV show itself is a mixed bag. It is made as pure entertainment but, then again, generally presents some interesting case material. I'm particularly annoyed, when watching it, that every time a piece of special effects footage comes up, there is no overlay to distinguish it from the, supposedly, actual real footage that might accompany the show in other areas.
I'm most curious, however, with Bill Birnes involvement with the Corso affair. What bothers me is this. The entire Corso story is a clear and blatant load of horeshit. It simply doesn't pass the sniff test for two seconds. It never did, and never will. So, why did Bill Birnes allow himself to be involved in this affair?
Why did he never bother to 'call' Corso out on his many blatantly false claims? In fact, every claim that Corso made is clearly a load of absolute bull shit.
Does Bill Birnes possess no critical thinking skills? I am truly puzzled as to why this story was ever allowed to reach the light of day.
What possessed Corso to tell this story? Who put him up to it? Why did Birnes allow himself to become involved in it?
Have these questions been answered before and I just missed it? I mean, I know that Coro's story itself is a load of horse-shit, what I want to know is *who* is responsible for shoveling this pile of crap, and why?
Has anyone ever pursued the whole story behind this Corso affair or was it just dumped into the sub-culture and left to rot and fester like everything else?
Look at the amount of effort put into debunking the Meir case (and god knows why people even bother) and the incredible work done by Phillip Mantle in deconstructing the so called 'Alien Autopsy'. Why has no one ever done the same degree of due diligence over this Corso nonsense?
Does Bill Birnes get off the hook simply by saying he was 'telling the story'? Did Bill Birnes never ask Corso, even once, hey, Phillip, you know everything you are saying it patently and provably false!??
Did anyone ever ask that Corso provide even a single confirming witness to corroborate his tall tale? How about the people who received Nobel Laureates for the work he claims was derived from reverse engineered 'alien' technology?
What do you think?
(A) Did Corso tell this story because it was true?
(B) Did Corso tell this story because Bill Birnes talked him into it to make a buck as a blatant and self-serving scam?
(C) Did Corso tell this story, good intelligence officer that he is and just as he was asked to, so as to peddle yet another piece of UFO mythology as part of an ongoing dissinformation effort? An effort designed to make the UFO community look only slightly more fucking stupid than it already is to begin with?
What I can tell you is that the answer is either B or C, but it is absolutely, 100%, guaranteed, *not* (A) because a few simple things like facts, logic, history, and reason rule it out at face value.
