You could conclude that because said events did not happen, that this is evidence that all the other information is part of an elaborate hoax; or you could conclude that the situation changed.


Of course you could ... if you choose to ... if you were entrenched in a view and not willing to stand back and re-evaluate and look at how things have unravelled.

I have an open-mind about things (I think you have to be as a reader of Nexus which like I say is a fine magazine). But that means as intelligent people we don't take everything at face value just because it is printed (or in this particular case published initially on the Internet). Of course, I set out reading your article like any other, interested in the possibility of what was described. It is the same way I approach any of your topics in Nexus which I believe on the whole are covered well and have good supporting material and evidence, cross references, etc to support the claims. However, in this particular case I have found it severely lacking and on the balance of probabilities and "evidence" put forward rather than strengthen the initial claims undermines it entire. Nothing of substance has really been added to the initial "story".

In the end, as "searchers of truth" we need to accept at times that what may have appeared possible at the start of the journey is found to be lacking based upon how things unfold. If we are inflexible and unwilling to change position it does us no credit and we can then easily be grouped with the "lunatic fringe" who believe anything and everything regardless of what unfolds!!
Comes down to pure entertainment for me at the moment rather than in any way factual
Of course, I still am prepared to be convinced but at the same time I am sure I am not the only one who began reading about the events thinking WOW this is big news to soon realise that it really is more in place in a HG Wells novel!

PS. Of course, I‘ll still look forward to my next edition of Nexus regardless of this episode :-)
