So long UFOs, hello FHEs

UFOs are soooo yesterday. It's FHEs now:

If my high school Spanish serves, the elnorte.com article they've got a screen shot of is quoting Samaniego as saying, right off the bat, "It was a witch and she was flying", rather than "it was an alien".

And it's referred to throughout the article as a "bruja" or "witch".

But I suppose it serves Rense's woowoo purpose better to have it be a mysterious flying "alien" humanoid.

[Chupacabras]

The translation into English includes facts not mentioned in the screenshot of the article, such as the witch trying to grab the officer through the windshield, not mentioned in Spanish.

Notice also the editorial manipulation of opinion when it refers to the "stunned" face of the officer. It looks pretty normal to me. Besides, many people get TRANS-formed when a TV camera is in their face...

The problem I see with hallucinations is that they seem to be processed in the same way as perceptions. They can be very difficult to discern from one another by someone suffering one. You can be mentally healthy, but a slight overdose of common medicine - or even sleep deprivation - can do wonders to your mind.

Final note: in this town, right across the street from me, lives a lady who does Tarot reading. Just guess who visits everyday in the morning... (hint: drives a patrol car).

So, people can be influenced, I guess.

He looks more stoned than stunned.

Guys, he's clearly talking about his ex-wife!

"That 'witch' 'flew' off the handle and smacked me a good one!"

Maybe it's one of Carlos Castenada's old buddies out for a lark.

[Goshawk]

Actually, I don't have the slightest doubt that he really did see something. I would bet you anything that what happened was that a woman who was drunk, or stoned, or crazy, or just "dysfunctional" somehow, suddenly loomed up out of the 3 a.m. darkness at the cop car, jumped up onto the hood, scrabbled at the windshield, and then slid off and ran away.

It's also possible she was up in the tree, and that she fell out of the tree, and then jumped on his car hood, etc.

There's no mention of streetlamps, and the night is described as being "dark", so I would bet that the "flying" was just a trick of the eyes, compounded by a reaction to being startled.

[Blondin]

Hmmm. Monterey, you say?

She didn't by any chance scratch a big "Z" in the car's paintwork, did she?

[Temporal Renegade]

...is this the guy?;)

[Shadowhawk]

The artists' depiction of the 'Flatwoods Monster' is quite similar to an enemy in the .hack Playstation 2 games.

And this is clearly Slave 1 (http://www.gateway.net.au/~equinox/episodeii/spaceships/2.html).

[WildCat]

I guess she didn't want to pay the customary bribe owed to Mexican cops when they stop you.

I wish I could blast away that comment, but alas, at least not fully can I. We are changing, one step at a time.

FWIW, I have a decal clearly visible in my car that the government issued at the beggining of the Fox administration - "Por un México íntegro - No más mordidas".

[Soapy Sam]

Looks like "Magical Realism" has taken over in journalism as well as fiction.

I tried to look at the disclaimer at the bottom of the page, but it wouldn't load. Anybody have better luck, and, if so, does it say anything of interest?

In determining whether the use made of a work in any particular case is a fair use the factors to be considered shall include - (1) the purpose and character of the use, including whether such use is of a commercial nature or is for nonprofit educational purposes; (2) the nature of the copyrighted work; (3) the amount and substantiality of the portion used in relation to the copyrighted work as a whole; and (4) the effect of the use upon the potential market for or value of the copyrighted work.

These paragraphs are copy and pasted multiple times, I have no idea why.



And finally there's a copy of a lengthy 1998 memo from Condoleeza Rice, as provost of Stanford, reminding Hoover Institution faculty of the guidelines for "fair use" by educators.

[S. D. Youngren]

So they make no warranty that any of this stuff is accurate or legal but by golly they're claiming copyright. And some of it they're using without the copyright owner's consent, claiming "fair use," but I could get in trouble if I use a smaller portion of it for less savory purposes...if there are any.

Thanks, Goshawk.

That's gaming you're thinking of there buddy.

Either that or gaming and religion are the same thing, and the tough guys use drugs.
