Tom, where's my money? It was part of the NASA contract.
if granite really is an independent individual; that is a pretty amazing pool of disinformation resources being displayed...hard to believe it's just one curmudgeon coming up with all that trash
I'll take that as a compliment, Tom. But that's just because you never discovered that one guy using google can find more in 5 minutes of spare time then your entire team working for five months.

Tom, who is Linda, and what are her professional qualifications?
She is a self-described "investigative journalist" specializing in aliens and crop circles. Tom's link above was to her web site: http://www.earthfiles.com/news.php?ID=1771&category=Environment
Read it, it's pretty poor compared to typical journalism standards.
Example: "He was doing private-I work until July 1997, when he walked into his first English crop formation "and life has changed considerably ever since," Gary told me in a July 11, 2007, phone interview. He explored Navaho reservations in Arizona, studied the dance traditions of West Africa, increased his knowledge of Tai Chi and other martial arts. He began to realize that he was becoming increasingly sensitive to the seen and unseen.
"On a couple of occasions, I’ve had intuitions about crop circles like you would have before a phone is going to ring. I’ve had intuitions where I’ve gotten up in the morning and driven down to Wiltshire from my home in Wales and been lucky enough to walk into a fresh formation."
Linda just accepts this without any skepticism.

Anders,
I've tried to avoid painting a target on my back by supporting any claims that I haven't personally observed.
However I have known Linda Moulton Howe since Junior High School, where we founded the Boise Astronomical Assoc together and participated in a series of Smithsonian sponsored projects. Her credentials are too extensive for me to summarize, but you can find lots of material about her and by her, with a little searching on the net. Her website gives a very tame summary:
"Earthfiles is a crossroads where experts, eyewitnesses and viewers meet to share the latest updates in earth and astronomical mysteries, in-depth reports that go beyond the 6 o'clock news. Earthfiles reporter and editor, Linda Moulton Howe, is an Emmy Award-winning TV producer, investigative reporter and author who goes directly to the men and women at the forefront of science and environmental challenges and to firsthand eyewitnesses of high strangeness. Earthfiles.com received the 2006 W3 Silver Award for excellence in news category. Earthfiles.com also received the 2003 WebAward for Standard of Excellence and the 2000 Encyclopaedia Britannica Award honoring internet excellence."
Linda is probably the most meticulous and disciplined researcher and reliable witness I've known. It is precisely because she is so careful in her research that she has been drawn into debunking and/or verifying some of the material being kicked around the taco.
Because of the reliable reputation that she has built for herself, there have been a few very serious attempts to discredit her. Those attempts failed miserably and have only added to her reputation as a fair witness.
I don't have either the energy or the interest to do a fraction of her research. If I didn't know her personally, I'd probably find it easy to disbelieve all of the wild information flying around. However because I've watched her work for years; I know that a lot of wild disinformation is covering up some highly strange realities.
Edit: Yeah, 'granite', that tells a little bit about her. (It didn't take you long to vet your NSA files.) However you aren't going to know what I'm referring to, if you only skim over superficial reports.

pathetic how the skeptics discount physical evidence by mocking the observers. A witness could be stoned on 10 hits of lsd and it wont make one whit of a difference what the camera records
consciously or subconsciously healyje, hawkeye, and graniteclimbers posts are disinfo or represent their own sad personal conditions. Their obsessiveness is peculiar tho, and their insessant replies keep this thread on top

Just a note that the 'Stanley Baubaire Scholarship' is a $100 annual scholarship from the scions of the local Fresno paper. All I see in her credentials is an environmental documentary writer / producer with a penchant for fiction on the ufo front.

Tom, now how about that Ark?
Now that you've got SpaceStationSim out of the way...
I suppose you and your boys at Raytheon might have a MassiveFrickingFakeMoonArkSim underway?
Don't hold back. There are limits to our databases, and the NSA doesn't have any assets in moon orbit, that you would know of anyway (haha.)

'Witnesses' are not evidence. Amazing how you folks can trot out endless witnesses and no hard evidence. It's even more amazing that our poor little planet has been positively beset by aliens of various races for 50 years and not one of them has had the common decency to simply land and chat.
