20150807 - Travis Walton, Abductee - Live Chat Thread

[Spinner]

I seem to remember him being more reticent -- he'd answer questions just fine, but tonight he's just downright chatty.  Anybody agree?

I agree. Much more relaxed and confident. I guess it's the result of acceptance and maturity.

I'm half-tempted to change my superhero name to "Artic [sic] Chaga" just cuz it sounds so badass.
The super power would be something akin to "Colon Blow" I suspect.  Which would lead to the power to cause crippling social embarrassment
if nothing else.

I believe Travis's story, but they dwell way too much on the significance of the lie detector results. It doesn't mean anything in my opinion. Remember,  We are talking about a  lie dector in 1975. Using 1975 technology, methods and interpretation of the results. Even today's computer based LD's are unreliable at best. There is a reason they don't allow LD in the courts.

[RoseGirl]

Ah....see....now that makes sense.

[starrmtn001]

HEY MATE!

Why, thank you kind sir (glug glug glug glug) . . . aaaaaaa . . . that was guuud.

[ChandlersDad]

Gawd...who names a town Snowflake? sheesh

Walt Disney?  The Rocky and Bullwinkle Show invented Frostbite Falls, Minnesota.

Speculation time. I wonder if Travis has ever thought that the craft he and the others saw could be considered an independent entity/AI, in that it may have zapped him because "it" thought Travis was an immediate threat based on his movements, etc.  It defended itself and Travis paid for his bravado and curiosity. For all we know, there may have been no beings (as we understand them to be) on the craft Travis witnessed, and it may have been a scout/exploratory ship with the sole purpose of collecting data/observing the environment.

[MABUSE]

Intriguing and entertaining as Walton's tale is, I would be happier if the constant asides to compare to and correct the film were saved for a separate section.  It sidetracks the narrative for me.  Since we have not heard the latest version, it would be nice to let him spill it complete before the sidetracking occurs.

Were their medical devices beside him? Any writings on surfaces? Languages? Symbols?

Why didn't they try and get the movie more accurate?

Would've been boring I suppose.

[RoseGirl]

Gawd.....he puts us right in the picture, eh?

[rosbells]

I adore the name Snowflake.  I'd live to be named that myself.

Oh, Travis, I'm so relieved for you. You sound like you're in such a better headspace.

I've got a bad headache brewing tonight. Hope I can make it all three hours.

Are you really the right wing loon actor who now stars in cheesy right wing Christian movies that Rotten Tomatoes gives almost a zero rating?

[MABUSE]

Why didn't they try and get the movie more accurate?

Because films are created by groupthink under the aegis of marketing pimps who care nothing for truth and are convinced that altering reality for marketability is no crime and no sin.  Is it any wonder our political perception is what it is?  Ha!

Way to break the ice. LOL!  A simple 'hello' might do. 

[ChandlersDad]

I have had some early interviews with Travis. Now he sounds so old. Hope he is healthy.

[Willdaberry Blue]

I agree!

I did some research on the guy.  He is famous not for his acting now but more for his narrow minded right wing ranting on Alex Jones and other interviews.

Yeah.  If you look at the literature on police interrogation methods, the purpose of the lie detector is less to detect lies (it can't, reliably) as to put a person in a situation where they feel they must tell the truth because lies will be instantly discovered by scientific methods.

[RoseGirl]

This interview is EPIC

Oh yeah.  I'm familiar.  Your statement tickled me.  You just got right down to it.

As opposed to the left wing loon actors ...  :
