- Wow!!!
-
- I couldn't believe my eyes and ears!!!
-
- I was bowled over. Left aghast!
-
- I had to blink my eyes at what I was seeing after all
these years!
-
- A soldering tool that used a light beam to weld stuff
and when it touched metal it was hot but when you moved it it went cool.
It was for only $19.95 at that!!!
-
- Then there was that ladel and spatula turner that easily
scooped up broth and veggies with ease!
-
- Will wonders never cease??? Where did they come up with
these things? It had to be from back engineering alien technology from
crashed UFO spaceships or something. Mankind could never have figured it
out.
-
- Ooops, my bad, those were the commercials. Here in Los
Angeles the special was sponsored by some really nifty household and tool
and gardening products that just blew me away. Must've spent a hundred
bucks last night.
-
- The special? The much-awaited Peter Jennings UFO Special???
-
- That was about the most piss pitiful excuse for a documentary/special
I've seen yet. It was all over the place.
-
- In all my years I've always been bright eyed and bushy-tailed
( AP style book forgive me if I've not followed that ) whenever a UFO documentary,
story or tidbit hit the airwaves.
-
- This is the very first time ever I've fallen asleep during
a major UFO news event. One of the neighbor's kids had to spark me up to
point out that 'Jesse' was on. I looked up and I saw footage of Jesse Marcel
Sr. on the screen. I says to the kid, ' How do you know him? ' and the
kid who tells everybody here in Hollywood that he's a reincarnated alien
just rattled on about what happened in Roswell back then and this and that.
The kid was more interesting than Jennings and the special.
-
- Now I recall why I got out of the mainstream news business.
I feel like a new chap!
-
- How in the world a veteran newsman like Jennings allowed
the sloppy storytelling, unbalanced review and erratic focus is beyond
me.
-
- Either he's been faking it for decades or he was taken
in for a sap.
-
- If I was these old time newsmen, I'ld suspect someone
was after my job by feeding me bs information to discredit me!
-
- I hope his company isn't just a 'name game' company to
sell product to the networks.
-
- He had 2 hours to do what none had done before, present
the facts. Without the mood music, oddball cracks, pop culture nonsense.
He started out fine. Just the statistics would have told the whole story
then go in for the kill by asking the authorities, researchers both pro
and con to back up their claims and explain the gross errors.
-
- That's how ya' do news.
-
- ABC should be ashamed of itself and should have taken
Jennings over the coals for providing that as commercial and newsworthy
product. It is literally the worst UFO special and documentary I've seen
and I've seen some pretty rotten UFO documentaries.
-
- A pal of mine back home said that Jennings' UFO special
was like the: "Ed Wood Jr. Plan 9 From Outer Space of UFO Specials".
-
- It makes me fearful that if that's the best Jennings
and his staff could do and we all see the glaring outpoints especially
with the Roswell segment, now we know why things like 9-11 happen because
the mainstream press is either too busy in a box-head mindset or someone
is putting the arm on them.
-
- The only thing this special needed to measure up is something
us baby boomers remember: Winky Dink.
-
- Remember that old cartoon show where you would put a
piece of clear plastic on your tv screen and during the adventure they'd
ask you to draw with a crayon a boat or a bridge so that Winky Dink and
Woofer could escape? Hey, the first interactive tv show!
-
- That's what this special needed.
-
- Finally, I'll say this - the only thing this special
brought to light is that the people have realized they can't depend on
others to serve their best interests. The fans of late night radio, the
books bought, the number of websites visited all show the people are going
to you guys and gals for their information because they don't trust the
mainstream. They'd be fools to do so.
-
- Did you notice how after all was said and done, all the
hoo-rah this and that, that the only guy holding the fort if you have a
UFO problem is good ol' Peter Davenport? Is that scary or what? Here we
could be in the middle of a massive invasion by whomever and some lone
gent in his home with a phone and tape recorder is all humanity has left?
-
- They should give Davenport the Congressional Medal of
Honor out of respect.
-
- I've said it before, UFO researchers, witnesses, abductees
etc. you don't need the mainstream press to legitamize you. If you're true
to yourself and the people it will be the mainstream that will need you
in the long run.
-
- That's what I got from this special - which got it's
butt kicked ratings wise - is that integrity and credibility start at home.
