Of Interest

Per Allison, as regards our discussion of duplicate IP addresses used in some of the claims:

According to Sam Maranto from IL MUFON, of the 7 reports which were reported to MUFON as well as P&M (on the following dates: April 18, 2017; April 20, 2017; April 24, 2017, May 21st, 2017; May 30, 2017; August 4, 2017; and August 5, 2017) 2 of the first 3 came from the same IP and 3 of the last 4 came from the same IP. So 5 out of 7. Of the 7, “six had no reliable contact information) as it was either fictitious, missing, or returned. This raised flags because not many of the reports they usually receive include false contact info.

Lon was invited onto MonsterTalk to discuss the sightings, but he declined.
