Metallic sphere recovered in Colombia--being examined by scientists

[Magical Realist]

Maybe you're not aware, but all helium balloons eventually leak the tiny helium molecules until they start to fall.

Balloons will pop in the upper atmosphere long before they leak out their helium. That's why nobody sees them floating around above the trees doing strange things. lol

Claiming something is authentic doesn't mean much. People can claim all kinds of things and tell you all sorts of stories.

Claiming something is fake doesn't mean anything either, particularly when it comes from someone with a debunking agenda.

So only Jose got sick? None of the other people pouring water on it and fondling it?

Who knows? Who cares? Was Jose a liar because he is the only one who reported getting sick?

Who said the balloon had to reach the upper atmosphere first? Most balloons lose buoyancy while tied to something. Then if you turn them loose, they don't just fly away.

Who claimed anything was fake... except your own OP article?

That's the point, if you don't know any details, you don't know much.

So what is the metallic sphere seen in video tied to? Anything? No? Straw man...

LOL Then don't quote other people's views and then try to defend them like your own. It only makes you look like a chickenshit when that view you argued for is refuted and you suddenly disavow it.

No one said it was tied to anything in the video. Learn to read.
But a balloon that has already lost buoyancy before being released...

Again, learn to read, so you aren't always erecting dumbass straw men.
My default assumption is always that people are mistaken, because they are often mistaken with mundane things too.

LOL If the balloon had no buoyancy it wouldn't fly in the sky at all. It would just fall to the ground per earth's gravity. You are familiar with the laws of physics aren't you?

My default assumption is always that people are mistaken, because they are often mistaken with mundane things too.

LOL People who watch and film a metallic sphere flying around and then falling into some trees to be picked up by one of them are mistaken now? How?

Again, learn to read. No one said "no buoyancy." I said lost buoyancy. In the context of it still floating, anyone with two brain cells to rub together should be able to suss out that "lost buoyancy" doesn't mean "no buoyancy." Not sure if you're really that stupid or just that intent on erecting straw men.

Yes, people who watch edited films are very often mistaken about what really happened. We have no idea about the people who filmed it, as the guy wanted to remain anonymous, the commentator talks about him being brave to touch it, only to show multiple fondling it freely, and it's highly edited.

If someone really wanted to convince people, they would release the entire, uncut video. But that never happens.

No dumbass. If a balloon loses its buoyancy it can't float at all. And you know this. You just fucked up again and have no way out other than to backpedal and deny and nitpick. This is the typical tedious bullshit you resort to when losing the argument.

Yes, people who watch edited films are very often mistaken about what really happened.

The same video that showed the sphere flying around and coming to a complete standstill and then plummeting into the trees shows one of them approaching it and picking it up and carrying it off. Nobody is making a mistake about anything because it's all on video. And you simply have no evidence it was a mistake or a hoax or whatever you are claiming it to be.

No different than chasing ghosts. You scratch your head wondering why a ghost would spend its afterlife in some practically inaccessible subterranean tunnel just to constantly bang a metal door and now an alien orb apparently falls out of the sky in Colombia no less, with an important message for the world. It doesn’t land announced and ceremoniously in Washington or Moscow, or any major capital city but crashes in the land of Juan Valdez and his donkey. If this is how an intelligent alien species will communicate with us then something is totally out of whack. That includes messages in the form of symbolic gibberish that no one could hope to interpret. I hope these aliens get their shit together and if they want to talk then let’s do it without crashing orbs into the planet. Oh maybe the alien’s message that we are polluting ourselves to death has a greater effect when they throw garbage down from above.

How frigging dumb can we get? Just believing in and promoting the paranormal may be the pinnacle of stupidity.

Maybe aliens (or their wayward AI probes) aren't prejudiced against brown people like you are Zin.. Gee wouldn't that be nice. Imagine aliens teaming up with aliens!

I suppose it could be a mule, heard both terms used. You call Colombians brown skinned aliens? It’s insulting. Seen this type of rebuttal before, especially when someone has no argument. You’re done MR, absolutely the worst spokesperson that any group of people could ask for.
