I find it interesting that all of his claims, spurious as they are, were nonetheless introduced piecemeal -- one nugget at a time, so to speak. It's almost as if he added something new every time someone asked him a question he had no real answer to. <br />Q: why is that all of your earlier explanations tended to change just a little bit, with more details coming to light with time, almost as if your memory was improving with age. <br />A: Uhhh... hmm... Hypnosis?<br /><br />It's always fun when your new articles come out. I try to check in at least once a week, but I sometimes stretch it to two. I was lucky today. You have 2 new articles! Perfect ... Cheers to you, Tim -- have a great week. <br /><br />JamesAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15110659214862886339noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7811150598222033655.post-14339872257454968412018-06-05T08:36:00.991-07:002018-06-05T08:36:00.991-07:00James,
Great to hear from you! Hope all is well...James, <br /><br />Great to hear from you! Hope all is well with you and yours.<br /><br />I've always given some degree of leeway with memory recall, but there should be some consistency with the foundation. <br /><br />Salas has other problems with his story as he had claimed that all of his recollection came about under hypnosis. And, he was an abductee to boot. Most people are unaware of this, yet many still believe him.Tim Heberthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04816425882305963295noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7811150598222033655.post-80675443783681184542018-06-05T07:02:30.378-07:002018-06-05T07:02:30.378-07:00In regard to your last paragraph, it would be inte...In regard to your last paragraph, it would be interesting if we could measure to what extent a person's recollections of an incident can change over the course of fifty years and still be considered an honest appraisal by the individual recounting the story. At what point does it become evident that the teller of tales is simply lying? Fortunately, we never had much reason to make such a determination to flesh out the testimony of Robert Salas. In my opinion, if the individual under examination is claiming to be the deputy commander of a specific flight at the same time that he is trying to convince the actual deputy commander of that flight to testify to the truth of claims already asserted by proxy, there should be no doubts whatsoever that he's just a liar who got caught in the midst of the lie. I could never understand why skeptics go to so much trouble to prove that the witness was mistaken, honest but deluded, or saw something that was there, but was wrong insofar as his identification of that something when it's equally likely that he's just lying for his own reasons.
