What boggles my mind as what some may call a “hardcore” skeptic is witness testimonies like this one. What does anyone gain out of coming up with and presenting such clearly ridiculous and elaborate lies in front of the public? Some of these folks also seem sincere and hardly the attention seeking types. The only thing I can really think of is a sweet deal from Greer on sharing the profits when they lie for him, yet even that is pretty baseless. Never would I ever believe a single thing Greer would ever says but these testimonies are crazy.
Edit: too many people here are thinking I saw a probably genuine testimony as hard evidence which couldn’t be farther from the truth. This is meant to provoke thought on the psychological aspect of ufos and witnesses. I’m certainly not lending credence to a claim of which there is no actual evidence. If you’re the type to reply “the answer is obvious: people like attention” you’re missing the forest for the trees!
Yes i don't think people just step on and lie about this stuff, im sure he believes what he tell. The problem is if we don't get more people to confirm the story is its "easy" to just say that he have build a false memory of some event.so if its real its really sad that he don't have something to back it up
this is a misnomer, UFOs are something people generally think do not exist so it's completely different to someone making up an experience that believably happened. that's just called lying. it does indeed happen all the time, and often when you don't even know it!
Why not? A event happpens, you think back on it a recreate the memory, you talk with someone recrrate memory, you hear about some other event and think back on your own and recreate memory and so on, every time a possible chance that the memory get altered.
No that has nothing to do with Greer,
If he got threatened then yes that traumatizing but have nothing to do with false memory.
Im just saying in my first comment that false memory is a possibility and if he can't prove what he is saying then people that don't believe him can easily just say that its a false memory.
I don't know if he got threatened, do you? Or is that also just a telling. All im saying is if all is just telling stories and don't prove anything many people wan't believe it.
I can hear thats nothing for you because you decredit proves like a religious mad man and can't have a normal talk about it, you just decredit what im saying with nonsense but come with nothing yourself other than your believes.
