It's always fascinating to see people who are so certain that they are right, and whoever they are criticizing is wrong, without them taking the time to really read and understand the issues--or offering their own, better explanations. In science, it's not enough to say why you think the other person is wrong, you are expected to offer better evidence or theories that fit the facts....<br /><br />You can find a much more in-depth discussion of the evidence here: http://www.forteantimes.com/features/fbi/5044/hr_gigers_reel_alien.html.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06920419661793741025noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4308546619413806958.post-61400198292117121422011-03-25T14:38:05.758-07:002011-03-25T14:38:05.758-07:00I'd be happy to review said book if it comes m...I'd be happy to review said book if it comes my way.. :)Regan Leehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13786586311631698822noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4308546619413806958.post-6105183957195186472011-03-25T11:06:09.223-07:002011-03-25T11:06:09.223-07:00Hey Regan!

If you ever do, I'd be interested to hear your thoughts. <br /><br />all best, <br /><br />BenUnknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06920419661793741025noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4308546619413806958.post-52224354953680207312011-03-24T05:07:56.921-07:002011-03-24T05:07:56.921-07:00Ms. Casals search was doomed to fail from the star...Ms. Casals search was doomed to fail from the start. There is no "Chupacabras lore" in Mexico - the phenomenon kicked off in May 1996 in Veracruz.
