Has Randi commented on Prophet Yahweh yet?

[EGarrett]

A lot of hubbub has been made recently about "Prophet Yahweh," the guy who prays for UFO's and successfully demonstrated his ability/trick on ABC Network News.

He's made claims about summoning larger UFO's in the future, but some rather suspect videos have been found at his website. You can do a forum search if you want to know more, he's been posted about several times.

Anyway, I searched the commentary for "Prophet Yahweh" and it didn't turn up any results? Has Randi commented on this yet? If not, will he? I'm sure he'd have fun with this.

We did an analysis of him on another board (a member emailed him and was in direct contact with PY. In fact, this member did a phone interview with PY and with PY's permission archived it as a podcast) and the consensus is that he's a fraud. Even those who began by believing in him reluctantly agreed to this conclusion.

His "conditions" for summoning are interesting (and consistant with our theory that he has an associate out somewhere with a helium balloon) -- calm day, little wind, no clouds.

I contended that if he was calling a REAL UFO, that the sudden appearance of something unknown in commercial airspace would cause chaos in the arriving (and departing) air traffic -- chaos that couldn't be covered up. Furthermore, there's an air force base nearby and something unusual in the air space is going to get a whole fleet of jets scrambling after it.

However, nobody takes emergency evasive action or emergency alert action over a helium balloon.

He's gotten weirder over the ensuing few weeks, too.

Thank you for the post and info. Can you link me to the other board where he was discussed?

Thank you,
