@geronl @mrpotatohead 1. Yeah, the years can certainly erode memory capacities and color 'memories.'
2. I was skeptical about the critter standing in the cargo bay chatting with tethered astronauts. Just seemed like an unlikely context, to me.
3. It is not inconceivable to me . . . that he wanted to get out there something about a 9' "ET" and either concocted the rest or confabulated the rest.
4. It is conceivable to me that he was somehow in the control room after retirement . . . whether as a courtesy or a return for a special duty . . . and saw such goings on.
5. We live in an era when telling the truth is a subversive activity.
6. We live in an era when bits of truth are awash in, drowning in tons of disinformation, deception, manipulation. Filtering out the fly-poop from the pepper is no easy task.
7. I think it's worth pondering his narrative because I believe that such critters exist and will be forcing themselves on the world stage overtly, the nightly news commonly etc. in the nearer and nearer time horizon.
8. Lots of details are arguable and may even be calculated disinformation, faulty memory or out-right lies. Nevertheless, there's some kernels of truth that are going to be absolutely critical for landing on our feet . . . for surviving well at all . . . in coming months and years.
9. Certainly God is still God and has everything in His big hands. We mostly 'just' need to walk close to Him sufficiently to hear His still small voice.
10. Nevertheless, most Christians, particularly, are woefully ignorant of looming realities and are likely to be like deer in the headlights for far too long . . . a hazardous stance, imho.
