Hi Ray

Yes, he knows it. Like you and others I can see the crude
lashings and sticky tape holding this so-called "case" together
and Mr Bragalia knows it because he did the sticking and lashing
and is (if he has any self-knowledge at all) anxious and even a
little guilty about that in those quiet but ghastly moments of
reflection that surely show him to himself as others see him.

The crude lashings and tape holding together this hoaxed
cardboard UFO are an emblem and projection of the manner of its
invention by Mr Bragalia.

He has not built a motor that runs, he has plaited insinuations
with rumours to make a tenuous yarn of faux-copper speculation
which is then wound around an armature of non sequiturs in the
hope that if it resembles a motor sufficiently then it will run
like a motor.

It doesn't.

I'm frankly sickened by this sort of crap, which does nothing
but poison the well of conscientious scepticism. There may be an
explanation of the Socorro case but, if there is, when it
emerges it won't smell anything like this.


Regards
