Dark Matters Radio, Tuesday April 30th

Okay, just this once

I think I'm crazier than the people claiming UFOs and aliens are here checking out Earth.  Siriusly, I must be a nut because I have been talked into appearing on Don Ecker's radio program this coming Tuesday, April 30th to discuss the recent film Sirius starring "Commander" Steven Greer (yes, you read correctly, "commander").  

I have seen the Sirius film and it lived up to absolutely nothing it was hyped as being.  Tune in to Dark Matters Radio http://www.dqrm.com/ on April 30th to hear all about it.

I'll be joining the ever politically incorrect Don Ecker and a cast of characters including David Biedny (aka Angry Human) and Lance Moody.  Just when I thought I was out, they pull me back in!  Just for this one time only though, kids.  Life without UFOs and the nuts, fanatics, and delusional fruitcakes that go along with them has been very good.

Sirius-ly Skewed

Early Test Results on Humanoid Released

Greer releases alleged test results on humanoid body he claims is extraterrestrial

UFO believer Steven Greer has released new information about the Atacama Humanoid that has been played up as being an authentic extraterrestrial body.  Make no mistake about it, Greer has stated as fact in radio interviews and in print that the humanoid (pictured above) is indeed an extraterrestrial being.

Alleged test results released today state that findings show the humanoid is "male" and survived for a period of "6 to 8 years" post birth".  No other information about the testing has been released.

The obvious question here is that if this an extraterrestrial, how does anyone know it to be male?  The real problem here lies within the carrot being dangled by Greer and the film Sirius; if the humanoid body testing concludes it not to be human in origin, this does not equate it to being extraterrestrial.  Any number of new life forms are found on earth in a given year from rain forests to the oceans. If the Atacama Humanoid is proven to be an undocumented life form, it would be incredible but again does not immediately mean it is extraterrestrial.

Greer has already advertised that the area the humanoid body was found in has UFO activity.  So by this default logic the humanoid surely is extraterrestrial.  This is like saying everyone who lives near a gravel quarry must own a lot of rocks.  Greer's attempt to tie supposed UFO activity in the area and the humanoid body into one convenient package is nonsensical.

Sirius is some serious trouble if it doesn't live up to the hype, and not many are expecting it will.

05/01/13:  Someone asked where Greer had claimed this now clearly human body was extraterrestrial.  Not only did Greer make this proclamation on radio, he also made it in the film Sirius where Greer states, while describing a skull fracture on the body, "That's how this ET being was killed."

Sirius-ly?

Alleged Alien Body in Film Nothing New

Dr. Steven Greer's upcoming film Sirius is looking more like Alien Autopsy II

than any sort of startling revelation

If at first you don't succeed, rinse and repeat.  Recycling tidbits from alleged UFOs and aliens is nothing new.  Remember the alleged piece of Roswell debris and how many times that was passed off as authentic?  How about Alien Autopsy and word from the producers that there was another film that hadn't been released?  In all, these and other wild claims have spawned a number of clones and rip offs.

It should come as no surprise then that the alleged alien being promoted in Steven Greer's upcoming film Sirius has a similar history.  The good folks at The Huffington Post, among others, have pointed out that this alleged alien body already made the rounds ten years ago.

Found in October 2003, a local was digging around in the ruins of a Chilean ghost town near an old church when he discovered the remains wrapped in a white cloth.  The remains were sold a few times before winding up in the hands of a Barcelona businessman named Ramon Navia-Osorio, who also happens to head a UFO organization.  Rumor is that Greer discovered the creature during a trip to Barcelona.

Navia-Osorio had the remains examined by several experts, including a forensic medical specialist who concluded the remains were that of a human fetus.  But this information apparently did not refrain Greer from promoting supposed DNA evidence and making a sensationalized trailer for the Sirius film.

Greer used Kickstarter to raise the money for the film and testing and called it "the highest documentary crowd funding in history."  The film will premiere April 22, 2013 and can be purchased for streaming.

Admittedly, the trailer for the film is extremely well done.  However, it looks as though once this film premieres it will quickly become a less than memorable drop in the pan. That is, unless there is solid and independently verifiable evidence presented.  But like a lot of Greer's evidence, including his claims of a military led nerve gas attack on aliens, this is looking more like a grab for dollars than a pure pursuit of one of the greatest mysteries.

04/17/13: A person named David Wilcock appears in the trailer for the Sirius film. For those unfamiliar with Wilcock, he claims to be the reincarnation of Edgar Casey. This is not the type of currency that buys you any sort of credibility.
