Very, very interesting pair of videos. What a refreshing thing to watch on youtube! No amatuer CGI! Hooray!
This is the sort of report that needs to be promoted as the sighting of a legitimate, unidentified flying object. Police officers, who are better
trained observers than most, make immensley credible and reliable witnesses. That, and their voice recordings to boot, makes for an incredibly strong
case. And not one of them, thank goodness, voiced any opinion as to what they were observing. (The one who repeated; please be a plane...said it all.
There was a man who was being challenged by what he was seeing with his own eyes).
Two things struck me as atypical of the establishment's refusal to acknowledge, or even conceed, that there actually are things flying around that we
know little to zip about.
One; the refusal to give any info regarding the air traffic controller, who took the call from the 911 operator, to the investigator. Now, there may
be procedures in place that do not allow this to happen, and if there are then the airport should have explained why. But the fact that they didn't,
and simply refused, is only pouring fuel on the fire. Don't they realise that by doing so, they're creating an atmosphere of distrust? Surely, if
their viewpoint and belief is that there is nothing strange happening in their airspace, then why don't they try and back it up by being as
helpful as possible? That's got to be the sensible course of action. Come on guys! If you know there are no intrusions into your airspace, do
something to prove it!
Two; the astronomer. No doubt an inteligent, level headed and reasonable man who has spent several decades in the pursuit of his chosen discipline,
and therefore an excellent spokesman for the scientific point of view. He advocates that the sighting was simply the misidentification of stars and
planets. Ok. Were these alignments new to Trumbull County? I mean, assuming that all fifteen police officers have been serving the County for
some time, was this a brand new constelation showing up in the sky? These guys must have patrolled the area countless times, in all weathers during
the night and day, and therefore have seen the night sky on numerous occasions. Is it logical, or even rational, to therefore assume that they ALL
suddenly see these stars for the first time?
"Jeez, Jeb, what the hell's that?"
"Why, I don't know Sarg! Could it...could it be a star?"
"A star? Here, in Trumbull? Well, I'll be darned!"
And the officer who's car stalled underneath an extremely bright light, then got out and looked up 'in red daylight' (not an exact quote), at an
object that eventually moved away? That, apparently, was misidentification of a possible shooting star, or planet, that just happened to coincide with
the complete electrical failiure, and reignition, of a motor vehicle. Really? Now while I am open to the possibilty that that could have
happened, isn't it stretching credibility a little too far? Perhaps the astronomer has a mathatician friend who can actually work out the
odds...
This, and other cases like it, are exactly what needs to be advanced as proof of the phenomena to those who are unaware of how far reaching it is.
I'm unfamiliar with the show it was featured on, but assume by the fancy special effects (which, btw, by their realisation, for me somewhat crudely
hammered home the idea that the lights were 'alien'. That's the impression I got anyway) and dramatic voice-over, that it is somekind of 'World's
Strangest...' Why don't we see these reports on 'legitimate' television programs?
