The Aliens are here, but they didn't show up for this photo session. A "Dr. Jonathon Reed" claims it happened about 2 years ago. He was hiking in the woods somewhere in Washington State with his dog and lost track of her while he was contemplating nature. A loud commotion is heard nearby. He arrives at the scene too late to stop the alien from killing his dog. The alien allegedly killed his dog because the dog was "attacking" the alien. I find this very implausible. Domestic dogs and most small animals are terrified of aliens and usually run away. A frightened dog may standback a short distance and bark at a strange looking intruder. They don't attack unless provoked. Aliens, at least a Grey, would not simply kill a dog. They probably would immobilize it somehow. Unless it was a Chupacabra, which it doesn't look like from the alleged photographs. The good Dr. Reed comes to his dogs aid, sees the black, diamond-shaped UFO hovering, and the alien killing his dog. Does he film the UFO first, and then get a large stick and beat the alien over the head to death? Did the alien just stand there and do nothing after he had just killed the dog? Why didn't the bad alien attack or abduct Dr. Reed? That hovering ufo he allegedly had time to take pictures of troubles me. Is this a case of reverse-missing time? Were the saucer and alien frozen in time by the angry doctor? Non sequitor here, there had to be another alien in the craft, piloting it. Why didn't the other alien help the one who was being clubbed to death or just zip away and escape? So much for alien comradery and the Hippocratic oath. Dr. Reed took the alien body home (did he bury his dog in the woods?). Soon afterwards the alien's body was stolen, but not the photos. How sloppy for the MIB's and how very convenient for Dr. Reed! This all a very familiar scenario. It is text book P.T. Barnum! Snake Oil 101. It's any easy sleight of truth to explain away the never-existing physical evidence. But "let's go to the the video tape" and take a closer look at the photos! The photo of the black diamond-shaped ufo looks like a fake. The scale and perspective is all wrong. Look at the surrounding plants and shrubs. You could't fit a grey squirrel in that thing! It even looks fake. I examined the edges around the ship in Photoshop. They are much too jagged and do not blend naturally into the background. The alien photos are not too easy to dismiss, though. They look good but it could be a cleverly fabricated dummy. Hard to tell from just the photos. The "red" blood is odd. I thought greys didn't have red blood, just a pale fluid. The whole thing looks suspicious and contrived and appears to be nothing more than a custom tailored hoax. The presentation on the Art Bell show by Dr. Reed's agent Robert Raith, seemed contrived. Even Art Bell had a tone in his voice that hinted at disbelief of the story. Dr. Reed is making an appearance on the Art Bell show tonight. Watch for announcements of Dr. Jonathan Reed on the radio talk show circuit. He'll soon be raking it in, hawking his book and videotape. Caveat Lector! But I guess some people just enjoy being taken in and clubbed to death with obvious hoaxes! Ignatius Graffeo Keeping you informed with the latest UFO and alternative News: UFOSEEK...
