Here is Bernerd at the Grand Canyon... it was larger than I expected...I mean the canyon of course."<br /><br />Bernerd: "Now Hilda..." <br /><br />Hilda: "Here is Bernerd at an abandon pueblo, at an old Spanish Mission, standing next to Ike...Bernerd is that not Milton in the photo instead of you?, and here is Bernerd standing next to dead dead extraterrestrial aliens near this dreadful little town called Roswell...damn it Bernerd, that slide is a little blurry my dear."<br /><br />Bernard: "Didn't have much time dear...those soldiers had guns..."<br /><br />Hilda: "Bernerd, that looks like a weather balloon near those little guys."<br /><br />Bernerd: "Didn't have time to notice, this fellow, Dr. Gee said we had to get the hell out of there, right quick!"<br /><br />Hilda: "Oh, he did seem like a friendly gentleman...and here is a photo of Bernerd playing golf with..."<br /><br />Tim Heberthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04816425882305963295noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7811150598222033655.post-79795714912276616222015-03-11T10:19:50.349-07:002015-03-11T10:19:50.349-07:00Tim; For decades, professional and serious amateur...Tim; For decades, professional and serious amateurs used Kodachrome positive slide film (the exact film used for Hollywood movies) because of its <b>superior quality.</b> The slides were often viewed on light tables and in handheld viewers, but the slide projector was certainly a common household item and the family or vacation slide show a common affair.<br /><br />"Hey, that mummy looks like a space alien!" (g)<br /><br />Every roll of consumer Kodachrome was sold as "color slide film." And every one I ever saw, even in professional studios, had been developed, <b>cut and mounted</b> as a matter of routine by Kodak developers--whatever its intended presentation, or, as with many boxes of mine, never seen by others. Merely being slides does not mean they were presented.<br /><br />But yes, the two slides were more than likely seen many times and no one ever thought anything more than "mummified child" curiosity as presented.<br /><br />Just sayin'...<br /><br />Best!zoamchomskyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16519698426338891542noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7811150598222033655.post-84826587362812161182015-03-10T10:46:13.516-07:002015-03-10T10:46:13.516-07:00Tom,

Can't help but noticed that you wrote "similar to the specimen/animation in the slides." I'm curious about the term "animation."<br /><br />LOL...how was it that the "exoskeleton of the ET" was determined to be a shark cranium? I've not heard this story before, but sounds interesting.<br /><br />Kind regards,<br /><br />TimTim Heberthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04816425882305963295noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7811150598222033655.post-73570891437832459642015-03-10T00:07:31.082-07:002015-03-10T00:07:31.082-07:00Hi Tim:

Von Daniken had encountered a similar situation years before.<br /><br />Kind regards, TomTom Tulienhttp://www.sohp.usnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7811150598222033655.post-69947508567636120982015-03-05T20:01:40.223-08:002015-03-05T20:01:40.223-08:00Terry,

I agree that one would have had to take the roll of film to a professional processor.<br /><br />If one took the time to have the two photos mounted in a slide format, they were meant to be shown. I have a hard time being convinced that the Rays or whoever, would have snapped a couple of shots of a government clandestine clean-up operation and had them professionally processed and formatted and then left hidden for decades with the intent that someday someone would stumble across them.<br /><br />There is no logical conclusion other than they were meant to be shown then not 70 years later.Tim Heberthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04816425882305963295noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7811150598222033655.post-2138541632594619292015-03-05T19:37:29.550-08:002015-03-05T19:37:29.550-08:00In addition: Who processed the slides?
According ...In addition: Who processed the slides?<br /><br />According to Wikipedia (the second-most scholarly academic journal cited by fringe believers, right after YouTube), Kodachrome was processed by Kodak, almost exclusively, until 1954. It was a complicated procedure unlikely to have been done by amateurs.<br /><br />http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kodachrome#Processing_of_Kodachrome_films<br /><br />I imagine no records of these transactions would still exist, but <i>someone</i> processed them. I wonder if the sliders are looking for this person? They do have a genuine serviceman from 1947.Terry the Censorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07442516952399215568noreply@blogger.com
