Oh, Chas, I hope you'll be back again. You keep going away, but it's nice to have to keep coming back. (Man, I see a song lyric in there somewhere.)

I've looked into Howe's career, life, claims and so forth to be satisfied that she is, in my humble opinion, delusional. She has bought into a paradigm and forms the facts around it rather than-- ahem-- the scientific method of first examining the facts and THEN figuring out a neat, simple theory which explains them.

I bring up the beloved Meier repeatedly because I love the story, and the fact that hundreds, maybe thousands of people continue to believe his specious nonsense in spite of exposure. His proponents do not let facts get in the way of their heartfelt beliefs. Like Linda Mouton Howe.

As for any metalurgic examination of any supposed space junk, per a couple of your links above, I'm extremely skeptical of any and all "examinations" reported by UFO believers, because of the investigation I did into the "scientific examination" done on the Meier space-babe hair-- and the continuous quotes from his flaky-brained fans that Wally Gentleman authenticated the phony photos. Neither of these claims is true-- just the opposite-- but old One-Arm's proponents keep making the claims-- rather like Scientologists rolling out paranoid ravings by L. Ron Hubbard against psychiatry (he was diagnosed a nutbar by Navy shrinks in WW2 and -- you think maybe he held a grudge?), long after every factual and statistical claim Hubbard ever made has been disproven.

As for photo examination in general-- unless one can spot obvious things like puppet strings, making a judgement on "photographic proof" is pretty shaky. Take the Gulf Breeze photos-- fake, every one. My guess- the hoaxster was cashing in on the local semi-genuine sightings of unexplained lights (which may well have been black ops stuff-- or swamp gas. But they sure didn't look like his illuminated models.) The McMinville photos from the 50s-- eh. The Mexico City video footage-- phony. No one in a city of 6 million saw this craft as big as a blimp hovering over a building-- until AFTER the video ran on TV down there. Remarkable.

One can only come to conclusions about these things by putting them in context. The "two" people who have photographed the eggbeater, for instance, are both anonymous. Why? Could it be they're the same person, making their story credible by "independent" verification? Hmmmm....
