how scientific of you
you couldn't see that there was a comparison clip in the video and you can't really explain the un-balloon like maneuvers so all you can do is attack a person that didn't even take the video ?
how pathetic

i'm not saying Mausan shouldn't be more selective of what he reports but can you post any evidence on just one case that proves he himself created a hoax or he captured something on video that was a hoax ?
if not how can you keep slandering him and calling him a hoaxer ?
i'm all "relaxed" but that is a serious question, what say you ?
Internos reminded me of this post in which he demolishes Maussan.....

Some Maussan's claims and facts:
- CLAIM: Maussan claims the photo below was the best photo ever taken of a giant UFO in space.
[atsimg]http://files.abovetopsecret.com/images/member/1da75ce2f1ef.jpg[/atsimg]
FACT: The photo appearing in the October 6, 1997 issue of "Contacto Ovni Magazine" is actually that of a galaxy forming, not a UFO.
- CLAIM: Maussan claims 'Dr.Reed' UFO case is real and scientific evidence supports it. Maussan claims his alleged intelligence contacts within the military warned him that the case is real and very dangerous. Maussan takes 'Dr.Reed' on a national speaking tour of Mexico and creates a media campaign to promote the case. These speaking engagements sell out at many locations.
FACT: 'Dr.Reed' and his entire case have been exposed as a fraud. Maussan is challenged to produce his alleged scientific evidence and fails. Maussan and associates claim to have thoroughly investigated 'Dr.Reed' and to have established his claims, evidence, and witnesses. Claims of an alleged alien device being of extraterrestrial origin are never proven in spite of Maussan claiming the bunk device utilized advanced nano-technology. Not a grain of proof is ever forthcoming from Maussan to back any of his claims.
- CLAIM: Maussan was saying that UFO video shot from a helicopter in New York City was real and had been analyzed.
FACT: Video was a hoax produced by the Sci-Fi Channel.
- CLAIM: Publicly stated it had been confirmed that the comet Hale-Bopp was bringing giant motherships to evacuate the planet.
FACT: No mother ships, planet still here along with population. Hale-Bopp UFO hoax exposed as a fraud by Jeff Rense.
- CLAIM: Maussan said he had radar tapes confimrming presence of UFOs in Mexico's airspace.
FACT: To date, no such evidence has been brought forward.
- CLAIM: Maussan claims that he investigated a case where an airliner collided with a UFO in Mexico. Also claimed that "tons" of evidence and documents supported the case.
FACT: No evidence was ever produced.
- CLAIM: Promoted alleged alien photo as being real and impossible to replicate.
FACT: Photo was easily replicated. Maussan, in spite of being told it was fake prior to the story running at Rense.com, insisted the photo was genuine even after being told it was a fake.
- CLAIM: Maussan said there were gigantic UFO motherships orbiting the planet disguised as stars.
FACT: When asked for proof, Maussan exclaimed that was why the stars in the night sky moved - because they were UFOs!

Ah, about this case, in particular about the radioactivity: WHAT is it supposed to prove the radioactivity?
Anyway, pheraps he doesn't do it purposely, but of course is a prolific promoter of HOAXES.

ok i understand your viewpoint but according to your logic we shouldn't trust the MSM either because they have reported some hoaxes ?
can we say Maussan has reported some hoaxes, yes i would agree with that but there is no evidence that he himself created any of them. at least i haven't seen any evidence for that yet.
what's sad about this whole Maussan ordeal is if he did report something credible then nobody will accept it because of the past history of his reporting.
in all fairness i have to say that nobody is perfect and i have made mistakes myself in analyzing ufo cases so does that make me a hoaxer too ?
I agree he doesn’t appear to have created hoaxes, but he’s knowingly promoted hoaxes.
wilfully disingenuous.
unlike Maussan
Maybe...maybe not:

Easynow:
knowingly ? can you prove that ?
and how do you know what he was thinking at that point in time ? maybe at that point in time he actually believed what he was reporting was worthy
and maybe changed his mind later after the fact ?
i don't see how you can prove he "knowingly" promoted something false when at the time he might have believed or was unsure what a subject/case was really all about.
as they say hindsight is twenty twenty
and i say ...'Let Him Who Is Without Fault Cast the First Stone'
Maybe...maybe not:
Wilfully disingenuous
Easynow:
that's willfuly slanderous and i say again, can you prove your claim ? or is this all about your perception of what happened and not his ?
Maybe...maybe not:
Absolutely not.....you don’t intentionally misrepresent things & you always take a lot of care with what you are doing.....unlike Maussan.
Easynow:
this isn't a symantrical peeing contest you need to prove the claims your making and if you can't then maybe you should show some reservation in your opinion, maybe not ?
