Aside from sounding like some kind of plan hatched by MacGyver, what do those items have in common?
I’ll give you a hint: UFOs.
It turns out that those “mysterious” unexplainable lights in Phoenix are, like every other sighting: very explainable.
I actually kind of find it funny because it was just some guy playing a fun prank:
[...] he used fishing line to attach road flares to helium-filled balloons, then lit the flares and launched them a minute apart from his back yard. He said he believed turbulence created by a passing jet caused the balloons to move around.
If anything it shows just how unskeptical some people still are — jumping to conclusions in an effort to prove their beliefs in ET.
Kind of like deists sometimes do, right?
And it’s not that I knew the correct explanation, but a spoonful of Occam’s razor keeps the boogie man at bay. And cures cancer.
