I'm not the one talking about in depth science. I explained my reasoning for being skeptical and none of it requires that I be told what my opinion should be by a guy with a title. The fact that these researchers have asked him to hold from showing the video to the public makes me suspect their credibility. I would suspect their findings too if there actually were any. You keep talking about the science, but all you really have is the word of this one guy who has a story that isn't logical. Someone talking about possibly scientific study isn't the same as science.
The world is full of half baked scientists, professors, and researchers. A lot of my friends are professors, so I can tell you the title doesn't necessarily mean they know shit. A researcher can be any nutjob ufologist on the web that decides to give themselves the title. The same goes for a scientist and anyone that gets a degree. Those infomercials for healing magnet bracelets and de-ionized water are full of wild claims from such scientists and professors. There is hours of footage out there of all kinds of scientists and experts talking about crop circles, and how this and that is impossible in nature. In the end it turned out to be a couple of dunkards with boards and rope, and the stalks didn't break because they were limp from lack of light.
So yeah, I don't take the words of random scientists as gospel. Not that there were actually any claims directly made by any. All you have at the moment are the claims of this one guy, who looks to cash in from this and doesn't have a story that makes sense, and claims from a film professor who can only say that the film didn't seem altered. Since he isn't a professor of puppeteering that part of it is kind of pointless.
So tell me, does his story make sense to you?
