[meteorite-list] More on Mitchell's Aliens

[Darren Garrison]

Okay, in an attempt to be more fair to the guy, I'll give the benifit of the
doubt that what he is talking about might be radically different from the pop
culture idea of alien contacts supposed to have happened over the past half
century or so.  Maybe these "contact" details have been completely covered up
for all this time in a stunning display of government competence (three can keep
a secret, as long as two are dead).  I'll hold out the slim chance of that.

But if this guy is talking about the purile drivel that is the lore of the UFO
believers today-- including the aliens being humans with trivial morphological
differences, who go around kidnapping people and sticking objects in their
anuses, mutulating cattle, buzzing aircraft, and making crop circles, well, that
means he is firmly a nut.  Not because the details of the stories are too
bizzare, but because they are too prosaic-- the very-slightly-alien aliens with
their very-slightly-alien activities seem to be the imaginings of
poorly-educated hicks and rednecks with limited imaginations-- and probably are.
