Bob, Bruce and list members,

At great risk of starting the 'Eyewitness Testimony' thread
again, I don't think it should be given much credence at all.
It is impossible to examine eyewitness testimony under a
magnifying glass or any other technique.

At great risk of raising the rule of Parsimony, or 'Occam's
Razor' thread again, we should be looking for the simplest
solution before we resort to extraterrestrials.

That's my two cents. How much would two cents weigh? <g>
