    @il1286yes, but that is not the important bit, the important bit is that why would an alien species advanced enough to fly in spacecrafts and abduct people use a technology that we ourselves have determined to be outdated and, in any case, optimised for our hands? It's very subtle, but it supports heavily that his story is a lie.

    The last clip about rot in the stump that he's talking about is sap rot. That's perfectly normal in all trees and happens quickly after cutting. The inside of the tree is "dead" and dry while the outside shuttles water and nutrients up and down the stem and is wet. Also, in pine, there's pitch or resin which accumulates near the center or heart of the tree and it prevents decay. For a logger, he didn't learn very much while being out there.

    When you look at wooden shipbuilding, you will see that always care is taken to cover up the front of all beams and planks in the construction as much as possible. You wanted to avoid to have the open ends of the wood, as there the water and rot would enter. Therefore, in the high time of wooden shipbuilding, in the 1600s and 1700s, where wood was still amply available, they preferred not to saw planks, as this does not follow the fibers, but opens them up along the length of the plank, but "chisel" them out, with that you take awas whole fibers over the whole length. leaving the rest intact, quasi sealed. The shipboulding effort was madness in these days. You need an abundance of wooden knees to e.g. join the vertical frames and the horizontal deck beams together. To get these as strong as possible, the carpenters roamed the forests for trees that had branches with exactly the right angle. Partly trees were grown where they provoked the fitting angles . There is a saying that In Spain a sparrow could hop from tree to tree across the whole of Spain without ever having to touch the ground, so densely forested was the country. Then Spain became a naval superpower, they built the Armada(s), etc. Now Spain is largely a hot, dry, open savannah-like landscape. That is all totally consisten with your rotting of tree stumps The fibers are all opened, the water has an easy entrance. I know, that has nothing to do with UFOs, but maybe it opens up a new field of interest that you had not considered before.

    Why would they think abducted if they had no experience in what an alien abduction would look like? I'm honestly guessing seeing him being hit by a beam of light so strong that it launches the guy backward multiple feet would make anyone that saw that think that person was surely dead. I'm not saying I believe him, but that's what I think their frame of mind and thought process would be. You know what I mean?

It was scary to watch that movie. But I did not have Nightmares like you. scared as shit, yes. I guess this stuff was normal for me as I had watched every scifi-movie of the 70s 80s and mid-nineties by the time I was 12:) great times. But I had fear when going down to the basement though, mostly because of the dark and fear of an Alien coming to kill me (like from the Alien movies) lol.

Even the myth of the KUMITE championship got started after some dude has his friend drop him off in the woods with a duffel bag and pick him up again in a few days. Spoiler alert there was now a trophy in the bag, and the legend(the lie) was born. I am at the point where if your crazy thing happened in the woods where no one saw it then it might as well not have happened. Safe bet.

    Another fake false flag perpetrated by the same people.... Just like anything you seriously dig into and keep an open mind, don't assume you know anything, things quickly don't make sense or add up. Always ask yourself who would benefit or who did benefit from said incident. Many times it's not who its made out to be, it's some Patsy put forth as the perpetrators. Guy Fawkes was most certainly a Patsy! 36 barrels of gunpowder isn't something anyone could get... Basically every narrative we've been told since Santa Claus was fairy tales.

    They passed because the questions for the cops polygraph were not on aliens but on if the hurt Travis in some way. Aliens were never brought up because the cops thought it was a hoax to hide what actually happened to him. But Travis has failed every polygraph. In all he took 3 and never passed. However I think only one other friend was in on the hoax while the rest were just pawns.

    Because Travis first hoaxed the men in the truck. It was brilliant cause he created a half dozen guys that honestly saw something and can pass a lie detector for life. Mike Rogers (the driver) drove them off after Travis was "zapped" by a search light from the Sentry Lookout Tower in the Forest. He then returned them to a different spot to find Travis "missing". They didn't know the area and it was dark so that was smart as now the "UFO" (really a lookout tower you can view online) was gone...along with Travis. Travis, Mike Rogers and the employee in the lookout tower staged the hoax. Mike Rogers confessed a couple years ago and you can find the reporting of this and much other details on youtube.

    I had an experience as a kid. I woke up on a cold slab with the feeling of my skin holding me down. It was a dark room that was cold and a big white light above me. When I woke up I was screaming and yelling that I didn't want to die and that I didn't live my life yet that I wanted to have a family and I want to live. I then passed out and when I woke up again I was in my bed with the clothes I fell asleep in on. I was running late for school so I hurried up with brushing my teeth and getting something to eat. I ran to the bus and when I got to school people were making fun of me because one of my socks was in my belt behind me and my foot was missing a sock... I was so afraid I never told anyone because my mom would have had me put in an insane asylum so I didn't tell anyone until I was older. I have seen several UFOs and the United States Government's Antigravity craft on August 30th 2023. Weird things happen to me but I never wanted to write a book and I don't want to go to any UFO conventions because of the fake stuff in those places make people who actually have experiences look crazy. Most UFO folks make money and are previous government officials most likely selling the public that it's all aliens to hide their programs. The current Government Antigravity craft is triangle shaped with lights in the corners and center with red and green navigation lights with strobe lights and a spot light. It's huge and painted gray with the access panels highlighted. Northrop Grumman facilities are the ones most likely building them. They are currently faking bankruptcy probably to help destroy evidence of the program.

    I respectfully disagree with your assessment (even though at the end you seem to doubt yourself). Snowflake and Heber are small, generally Mormon, towns. This kind of event is so wild, you just can't make it up and get the towns and the feds (c'mon), to go along with the hoax. Not a chance. Those of us from there (Heber) are familiar with the wide open skies (google Mogollon Rim skies) and you do sometimes see strange things. I haven't had a real sighting there but I've legit seen the triangle craft in Phoenix, 15+ years after the Phoenix lights happened. Many people have. That doesn't mean I'm a hoaxer because I've had more than one sighting. Maybe where you live, you don't have them or you can't see them. Idk. Your opinion is your own and I respect it, but you won't convince me the story is untrue. I still believe Travis!

I wanted to make a video about it myself just so I could understand it better, but it'd be better if you made one.

    Communion started my interest in the possible reality of aliens on Earth. His descriptions of how he didn't remember things till later made me think about Carlos Casteneda's books, how our mind may not allow us to actually s to see or remember things which are either too frightening, or so bizzarre that we can't fit them into our accepted view of reality. But Striber IS a weird dude so that makes me doubt his story.

    I think many know this, but lie detectors measure skin conductivity; the idea being that you take baseline measurements while they're "at rest", which I think typically includes asking them questions to which you already know the true answer - and then, when you move onto the "real" questions, you look for changes that indicate raised stress, which is the sign of a lie. As for how his fidgeting with his leg might have been him trying to cheat the test: My guess is he was trying to create signs of stress in his body while the baseline was being established so his later lie-stress would seem more "normal". I'm pretty sure that's roughly how it works anyway lol. But yeah, I think following that line of reasoning, it's not hard to see why they're not thought to be the greatest forms of evidence. There's a lot that can alter someone's state, and idk about you, but if I had one of these tests, I'd start getting extra stressed as soon as I realised that "oh boy, we're moving onto the real questions now....", even if I were being wholly truthful lol

Mike Roger’s (who was the contract holder and in charge of the crew) had grossly underbid the contract and was way behind. The crew were going to be charged thousands of dollars per day after the deadline until the job was done. The contract ended the day the “Walton incident” happened. They were released from the contract by the US forestry department. Now do Bob Lazar!!

    Fun fact, leading with the polygraph tests is something of a deceptive tactic in the case of both the believers and skeptics. Leading clues followed by affirmation or dismissal (factual or otherwise) is a top-tier manipulation tactic. Right up there with implanting "memories" via suggestion.

  • @maxalberts2003
    @maxalberts2003Ай бұрын

    The problem I have with Mr. Walton's story is its sheer flamboyance. Most abduction narratives weave in and out of consciousness and the abductee is at least semi-sedated. Mr. Walton claims that he witnessed possible atrocities inside the craft, and that it was much larger than it appeared on the outside. I can understand not being able to interpret what you're seeing, high strangeness, etc.,, but Mr. Walton was not sedated and he claims to have witnessed sight upon traumatic sight. What's consistent about his story is its relentless level of horror, almost on par with Lovecraft--whose stories are frequently criticized precisely for their flamboyant qualities.

Greg's anti-Alien position is super alienating to me. In regards to Travis claiming to have seen UFO's before his abduction, it's actually a major part of Abduction lore that no one is Abducted only once, but rather Abductions are a lifetime event that begins as a toddler and continues throughout your life, eventually getting pass down to your children. Aliens abduct bloodlines, rather than random individuals

    A polygraph can detect neither lies nor truth, their only purpose is intimidation. The machine is meant to scare guilty people into confessing, or at least make them extremely nervous about lying, and the "results" are based entirely on the subjective opinion of the interrogator. Not even remotely scientific.

    Hey Armoured skeptic I’ve commented on your videos before telling a story how I saw a glowing light and I have a new story. On December 6 2022 at 6:35pm at night I was walking my dog with my gf after dinner on a clear crisp night. I live in the country of S. FL it’s basically the middle of no where and sometimes the military jets do aerial fly overs during the day. So that evening while walking the dog we heard a loud noise of a helicopter and it got louder and louder! My girlfriend was concerned it was so loud then we looked up and saw something shocking. Suddenly about two stories high in the sky there were two military helicopters above us traveling South. But between the two helicopters right in front of us was a silver circular disc shaped craft. The helicopters had flashing lights that reflected off the craft it had 3 lights in a triangle shape it looked as though the military was escorting it. “That’s a UFO” I said pointing my gf was speechless 😶. (Which is rare). Idk if what I saw was extraterrestrial or our own technology but it was startling and between the altitude/slow speed it looked bizarre. Thanks man that’s my story. 🛸
