Nebraska Grey alien film

[voggmo]

Sorry if this has already been covered elsewhere. I thought about just putting up the film & let anyone jump in with a comment. But Mods would say I must set forth a course of dialogue or something.

So, I'll say this.. Film isn't convincing. I'm not saying it isn't legit, the guy has gone to extra lengths to have scientists & film analyists check it out, it's just that it looks like it could have been a neighbor with a mask pulling a prank.

He claims he has surrounding evidence as well. Anyone know what that is?

Well the video that was shown had a "Reenactment" title on it in the upper right corner. This was apparently footage done up to look like what the guy saw, which strikes me as odd that they would go to all that trouble. This all apparently happened in 2003 and they're still working on verifying the veracity of the video before letting the public see it as a whole. It is a hopeful possibility that it's real, but somehow I get the sneaking suspicion that it could be yet another fake.

I don't know the man, so I won't accuse him of anything. For all I know, somebody could have been playing a trick on him, or for all I know he could be a liar. We just don't know. But the released still image is of such poor quaility as to not convince me that it shows anything.

 

[Kryton]

They had it in TNZ when I was welcome there. Based on what's been seen? The Alien Autopsy video looked more real. <shrug>

 

[JoeZhang]

So Aliens have the technology to travel across the galaxy and they use it to come and peer through the windows of somebody's house?


yes.. yes... that makes perfect sense..

The video we see in the clip in the OP is a recreation made to show how the real video could be faked.

The highlighted still is from the "real" video which has not yet been shown to the public.

It should go without saying that anything involving "Grey aliens" is fake. The "Grey alien" image originated as a Time-Life Books painting speculating on the future evolution of humanity (making some very culturally biased assumptions, such as that a more highly evolved being would be sexless and pale-skinned, not to mention embracing the misguided notion that evolution is "upward" in the first place). After that, it started getting picked up in UFO reports, whose descriptions of aliens always followed the pop-culture lead of the times (little green men in the late '40s, big scary monsters in the B-movie '50s, idealized humans in the low-budget TV-sci-fi '60s). Then the media themselves picked up the "Grey alien" idea and popularized it in Close Encounters and later works, so that it became a self-reinforcing cycle, with The X-Files then coming along and burning it even more indelibly into the pop-culture consciousness.

So it's not just fake, it's unimaginative. Grey aliens have become a tiresome cliche. I wish some real aliens would come along and show us how narcissistic it is to take seriously the notion that beings from another world would look like distorted versions of ourselves.

Better hope they're not real cause they'll be coming to your house first.

And why am I thinking of the following whenever I hear about this video?

Jerry: "It wasn't a gray alien, was it?"

Kramer: "No, it was a short, bald mental patient!"

Edit: Now here's a genuine video of an alien. (Might be offensive to some)

Well, I should hope so. I'm always on the lookout for new story ideas.

Of course, if I were visited by real aliens and wrote up their experiences as science fiction, it would probably get rejected as too unbelievable...

Whitley Strieber called...he wants his shtick back.

The Time Life pitch would only have validity if A, it reallly looked like Grey's depicted in ufo literature, & B if it had taken place well before Roswell. Eyewitness testimony of the saucer crash saw, you guessed it, little Greys. Same thing thousands of abduction victims report with repetitive similarity. Which begs the question; why would they all have the same dream? same description independently of each other? Because of a Time Life art rendering? I doubt it.

Eyewitness testimony of the saucer crash saw, you guessed it, little Greys. Same thing thousands of abduction victims report by the thousands. Which begs the question; why would they all have the same dream? same description independently of each other? Because of a Time Life art rendering? I doubt it.

But the eyewitness testimony of the bodies didn't start coming out until the early 1990s, many years after the incident and after the grays become popularized in folklore.

 

[voggmo]

Not really. & again, many varied alien species were depicted in sci fi 40's & 50's. Why would only 1 particular one repeat so often with abduction victims & not other ones?



1960-1970
Until the 1960s, the image of the Grey primarily existed in popular fiction, but this began to change in 1965 when the Boston Traveler published the purportedly true story of abductees Betty and Barney Hill. The story included details from a hypnosis session, conducted a year earlier by Dr. Benjamin Simon, in which the Hills described being taken aboard a pancake-like craft by small hairless men with no noses and slanted eyes that wrapped around to the sides of their heads.

Space aliens are the modern-day version of pixies, fairies, leprechauns, and demons.

It's an overall sense story brought into a modern context. All still the same.

 

[Hermiod]

^Well, not quite. I believe life exists on other planets, but I don't necessarily believe it looks like me (i.e. a small grey biped) and I certainly don't believe it's ever come here.

 

[Kryton]

To clarify: "What people largely THINK OF as 'space aliens'..." etcetera and so forth. I presume there is life elsewhere...it's just not these little fuckers.

 

[Hermiod]

^Yes, I agree with you on that.

Hold on, did you just call me a little fucker ?

 

[Kryton]

Thanks for that...I'm just processing the news of Tim Russert's demise on this Friday the 13th and it still made me snicker a little.

Pixies, Fairies & Leprechauns. & the scientific evidence for this thesis is?

& if Christopher were even vaguely correct, then where are the Yog monster from space abduction reports? Or Creature from the Black Lagoon? Naturally according to his theory there would be other popular artists renderings found all through abductions reports, but there isn't, so as for validity for his theory, on the same token, there isn't.


With military personnel & Government employees coming forth as eyewitnesses, kinda kills the Pixie & fairy theory.


June Crain is one of many. She worked at Wright Patterson in the 40's.
June was there, watching, as the engineers almost rolled on the floor laughing about the balloon cover story. The new management is probably still laughing.

Is that meant to be evidence of something? claims on a blog?
