So, like, why bother? It's obvious horse puckey. Do you think this 'film maker' is after some publicity? Don't you find it odd that it was discovered by builders, not the owner of the property? Do we think that this is one great steaming stinky set up?

I think its just a cry for help and that guy needs to get a life

Mr Broom, a film-maker who is agnostic about the existence of aliens...

Well, I dunno about aliens, but I'd certainly venture we have here a case of the fact that there actually is such a thing as a person having far, far too much time on his hands....

As shite, pointless mysteries go. This certainly has to rank. You watch though, it will be featured on the sci-fi channel and though there will be little in the way of money involved, even though its completely shite the purveyor of this little story will get his face on the telly and become, even though on the extreme margins of The Far Bigger Mystery of UFO's In General, a little tiny chink of an excuse to wheel out all the rest of the stuff associated with UFO's will arise to fill up another 50 minutes of cheap documentary with appears based loosely around the story and so the cycle continues....

People retort - "Well, why should someone lie?!", not particularly to instances such as this, but others no less fanciful when y'go over the story and think it through as if the act of telling a tall tale is both inconceivable and impossible to even consider.

As if anyone can honestly put their hands up and say, that over the course of their entire life they never so much as once ever personally encountered anyone who could be most readily described as being A Bull Shitter...

Walk into any bar, anywhere in the world and buy a few beers for a few of the bar flies you'll find - there's always a one that will go "Oh, yeah," - >sniff!< -"Absolutely. I used to fly those... Hardest game in the world, mate."

When its harmless, and inane and there's no genuine intent to actually cause any serious damage as a consequence - people will happily lie, enormously actually, if for no other reason than to ascertain if the person they're talking to is actually dumb enough to believe them.

It's petty, it's harmless. Occasionally though, interest in the "story" escalates. Suddenly, instead of just being a harmless bit of idle fun, there's actual press involved and media interest and though, on the one hand you might think "Well, wouldn't it be reasonable to at that point call it quits and knock things on the head?" but then how many people, when caught in a silly lie, especially a stupid one, are actually prepared to fess up to it in private, let alone announce to the world at large that they are, in fact, actually a bit of a fibber?

Fib about your income, your occupation, your sex life - no body gives a hoot in the first place. Fib about something people actually take an interest in though, what would you do?

Go all Joan of Arc in the interest of moral and ethical right and the furtherance of human understanding or ride it out and hope it all goes away afterwards?

Make a good poll question that, but could anyone trust the actual results..? ;)

I say, "Bring on the 50 minutes of cheap documentary!" If I happen to turn on the television (I'm allotted about 2 hours per month), maybe I'll have some fun.

It's your 2 hours worth, old man.... ;)
