Here's something for sci-fi fans.

Robert Lazar

It's more like sci-fact than sci-fi.

WOW!! I didn't read all of that, but what I did read...well, I don't really know what to make of it. There have been stories about things like that since I was a little kid, and probably before. It will sure make you think.

sci-fact?...I think not! ...but good for a laugh!

bout sums it up Greg, I just didn't want to the first to pop the baloon. It's one of these things where you gotta have a lot of faith, because there is no evidence.

I like where he made 900 and something dollars(for five days). I think in 89'. I guess they were not paying him enough.

I have read some stuff on this Lazar guy in the past and he is a big con artist. If anyone is REALLY bored I can give you a few links that explain how his story, with it's pseudo physics, is a bunch of balony. You could spend all day debunking the bad science in his claims...his key ability is that he sounds like he knows what he is talking about and some people are willing to believe anything.

I was looking more into the photos. Teltale signs of being faked. But it's hard(with jpeg"ing. Lossy comp. Unless it's that badly done) to tell, sometimes. You have to have the org.(print) or a negative. To really tell of those signs. I have a document on how experts can tell fakes. Pretty good. I have to find it somewhere though. Will post it. When it turns up.
