Subject: Re: KGB Crashed Disc


Forgive the beating of a dying (or perhaps dead) horse. However
I viewed the tape of the show very carefully and have come to
several conclusions contrary to some of the posted comments.

With me at least, it's important to go back and study the film,
not once or twice but a number of times. I am not as quick to
see and hear things the first time around as some of you guys
trained to pick these things up quickly and accurately the first
time around.  Geese, Louise, I can't imagine how you experts do
it... Anyway...

First and foremost is the crash of the object itself. There were
a number of posts which posed the question of how the (sic) disk
could bury itself so deeply into the earth. It did not.
According to the commentary and the computer simulated crash,
the object did break up during the several impacts, leaving only
a small portion in the ground.

Comment was made on the guard contingent. Some posts questioned
why the guards were facing toward the object instead of facing
outward. There were two groups of military personnel, one which
was involved in picking up debris and the second appeared to be
concerned with guard duty only, and these men were facing
outward, AK's pointed in the correct direction.

Regarding the military guards and their AK's ... the soldiers
appeared to be quite casual in their handling and pointing of
these weapons. To my mind at least, this demonstrates not a lack
of caution, but rather a familiarity, with the tools of their
trade.  For example, when I hunt deer with my buddies, I always
point my weapon in a carefree manner, not paying any attention
to the barrel direction. This is because I am very familiar with
my weapons of choice. The proof of this is the FACT that in the
45 years I have hunted small game, I've never killed anything,
including my buddies.

Comments were posted regarding the fact that the rear of this
object had not been filmed and/or the film shown. The rear of
this object was filmed by a second cameraman who was seen to
walk behind the object and shoot film. The story line stated
clearly that this particular film was not available. So there.

With respect to the autopsy (or dissection), I noticed something
which I could not understand because I remember a critique of
the "Roswell Autopsy" made by a surgeon. In that case, a doctor
being interviwed, pointed to the fact that the surgeon in that
film held the scissors incorrectly. It should be held by thumb
and middle finger, with the index finger then free to "point"
the scissors. This is supposed to give better control and
accuracy in directing the instrument properly.

I noticed that in the KGB autopsy, the cutting scissors were
handled the same way as in the Roswell film. Are both surgeons
mishandling or is this correct procedure?

I am not a physician. Of course, if you were to observe the cars
I drive and the quality (or lack of same) of my life in general,
you would know this instantly. I will however, ask some
physicians the question myself, as I tend to have doubts over
the veracity of virtually anything seen on the telly. I learned
this lesson when I was shocked to find that Howdy was a puppet.
Forkina sons of birch trees fooled me once... aint gonna happen
a second time. Not me. Uh uh. No way. And I can prove it. I
voted for Dole.

I hope this clears up any questions in this matter so that we
can all spend time asking the question, "God, The Universe and
Everything?" I have been told the answer is 43. I am somewhat
skeptical, as I heard this on TV recently.
