An extraordinary claim requires extraordinary evidence

Raoul — 4/28/2009 5:30:35 AM (archived)

Hoaxers (finally in need of recognition) admitted having done it and explained how.

In Waterloo, Belgium, a guy who calls himself "cereal killer" explained how he did it.

Claiming the opposite is far more complicated !

What I find puzzling is inspite of all those simple rational explanations, you still don't change your mind.

Might explain why the UFO, abductees myths still endure.
