Would it be fair to compare them to degrees of Orb in Astrology? If so, then +/- 10 degrees would be the maximum variable for distance and time. <br /><br />If there is anything to Astrology, then might it not hypothetically be possible for the coincidental landing times and locations to be naturally occurring as opposed to being conspiratorial?<br /><br />Like · · 5 minutes ago<br /><br /><br />https://www.facebook.com/RichardC.HoaglandAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12374120752647611949noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8051630750074978974.post-59441774787945280642013-10-15T09:35:55.594-07:002013-10-15T09:35:55.594-07:00If Hoagland had any integrity, he'd be a greet...If Hoagland had any integrity, he'd be a greeter at Wallmart instead of a purveyor of nonsense.

Maybe not as many as in the audience of Art Bell Dark Matter or even Coast to Coast AM, but enough so that if you respond, you ought to consider that you are going on the record. Having condescended to answering a barrage of challenging emails from a faintly frenetic, aspiring, debunker, you underestimate the potential damage to your position by dismissing his questions.<br /><br />He cited some examples, perhaps, out of context. If so, I for one would be interested to please read how his exclusions of your evidence might be factually relevant, his criticisms notwithstanding.<br /><br /> Like · · 5 minutes ago<br /><br /><br />https://www.facebook.com/RichardC.HoaglandAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12374120752647611949noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8051630750074978974.post-13326524862790666002013-10-14T09:48:19.652-07:002013-10-14T09:48:19.652-07:00Chris, nice note on the anger in his reply; I noti...Chris, nice note on the anger in his reply; I noticed that too. Someone hit a little close to home, I think.<br /><br />It's fun that he made such a point about expat missing the minor detail about New York. I wonder how he would react if someone pointed out a similar error during his breathless dissection on Art Bell's 9/19 show of the ritualistic undertones of a frog appearing in a LADEE launch photo. There are frogs all over the place in Florida, declares RCH. I've been there! And NOT ONE has appeared in any previous launch photo! Except...LADEE was launched from Wallops Island. In Virginia.

It's also obvious that he couldn't find any others mistakes, as he would have loved to rub your nose in those too. Hoagland generally ignores critics, as he knows he's just bullshitting people.<br /><br />What interests me though, is the venom his reply contained. On those rare occasions when he answers critics, it's usually with a "catch me if you can" kind of playfulness. This response looks a lot like the crap he used to throw at James Concannon on his FB page. It sounds like you hit a nerve.Chris Lopeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15603182786879935663noreply@blogger.com
