Huh. Interesting choices.
Any chance it resembled Jesus as well? Because, you know, people tend to "see" things that correspond to their mindset.

While I cannot claim much research into the Phenomenon for myself, what I have read on the subject throughout a lifetime of casual interest makes me question if this can possibly be the same Phenomenon?
Why on Earth would it need to push over small items if it could present itself as a fiery ball of light in stead? Add booming voice of command, and message will be received - no doubt.
Or if it did manifest in these kind of ways, why would it pretend to know anything about what Corso wrote in his book? Is it just pretending to, to elicit a response?
What I also find hard to swallow is that it should then on occasion manifest as any kind of machine. Its not very clever. Why not a huge figure in the desert around some well known shrine? Or a booming voice in cathedral in a European capital or other? Voila! Instant followers and surge of belief/attention. Think about the fallout from that. "Verily I tell ye, thou shalt smite the unbeliever... etc"
But no. It pushes over small domestic items and presents balls of light to single individuals... And flying discs? Triangles?
Hardly the stuff of legend and myth, in my opinion.
So why is that? And why bother to show up as a machine? A tool, really. A mode of transportation. Where is the sense in that? And a mode of transportation nobody believes in?
I don't get it. It makes no sense to me. Try as I might.
Anyway, I think I am starting to develop a slight crush on your avatar, which makes it very hard to argue. I cannot seem to muster the brilliance I envisioned for this post, so I'll just end it here and have a coffee...
Hey, I think I'll have a beer instead.. :-)
Cheers,

I was trying to figure out what this had to do with Tom DeLonge, and then at about 36 and a half minutes into the video I started coming up with an idea. This roughly paraphrases the narrative at that point correcting the storyteller's less than perfect English etc, though the parenthetical additions are mine:

One of the most fantastic documentaries I've ever viewed.
So now I at least have a guess at the point you might be getting at, that while both DeLonge and the Tibetan Oracles might believe wholeheartedly in what they are saying, that does not mean they can't be completely and utterly wrong like the Tibetan Oracle was when he told the Tibetans not to worry right before they were slaughtered. It also seems like DeLonge is utterly wrong when he continues to cite Roswell as a case of some significance when all the evidence I can find suggests that he's just as wrong as that oracle telling the people about to be slaughtered not to worry.
The Tibetan National oracle has been booed in public after he made a wrong prediction about the British (Younghusband) invasion.
700 Tibetans were massacred in one day. He told the Tibetans not to worry, that the heavenly armies would back up the militia and that he would lead the heavenly armies
And of course they were just massacred. (The British) had gatlin guns; 700 militia and Tibetans just slaughtered.(Actually the British used Maxim guns in that conflict which which could fire at about twice the rate of Gatlin guns so Gatlin gun is somewhat of an understatement of the devastation they could wreak on an "enemy" using outdated muskets that apparently didn't even fire reliably).
People avoid responsibility by asking the oracle, if you invoke the oracle then your hands are clean "I didn't say that, the oracle made that decision".

Except when WikiLeaks dropped the Podesta emails, DeLonge was corresponding with Podesta so I would call that credibility. More credibility than most of the # on ATS.
