Questions for Linda Moulton Howe

[Frootloop]

I noticed that LMH has already been suggested as a possible future guest in the "suggested guest" thread. Just a couple of questions to begin with

Does the "newsworthyness" of an investigated story ever take priority over its apparent authenticity or the credibility of evidence available at hand?

Linda basically brought the "Drone" case to the fore during the summer of 2007. Did she at any stage during her investigations consider that this may be an elaborate hoax? Linda did have contact with "Isaac" and other witnesses during the investigation. Did she at any stage have reason to doubt witness credibility or the authenticity of the CARET documents put forward by "Isaac"?

Our reputation precedes us, so I don't know if she would be willing to come on the show or not, but we'll keep your questions in mind just in case.

lol - who knows.... heck, maybe she could even bring Whitley Strieber with her for good measure - but if you do get him on the show, best do it before 2012.... apparently, its all change then (or was it this september, or perhaps august? )

Here'a question for LMH:

WTF?!?



Really though I would like to hear her speak about her criteria for evaluating a sources credibility.

Frootloop, the first question you posed has already answered itself; of course it does in her opinion. I'm quite fond of alot of her cases & investigations but she's gone downhill in the last couple of years, and fast.

For Linda, it seems that if we can speculate over anything; it's worthy of being seriously investigated. Now thats actually not such a bad motive for doing your research, however it is bad when you cannot speculate over whether or not you're being lied to, or suckered into presenting a case as 'fact' & worthy of a front page feature on your local newspaper; I feel that Linda get's suckered into matters far too easily.

As you stated, the drone case. If i'm wrong & it's real & the photo's are of a genuine anomaly that actually appeared in the sky (I don't know how it could be real though) than i'll admit to defeat. But it just makes you look silly when you push a story such as the drones, & IMHO that is all it is; a story.

Goody.

I'll put $100 into the pool that LMH won't come on the show.

She is just TOO COOL.

I'm with you on that! My other question would probably be "How do you sleep at night?" but the answer is probably "On a pile of money...."

Probably had to have her bed lowered or her roof extended due to her purse.

Yeah, WTF?!?

Question for her:

In her opinion, what is the strongest piece(s) of evidence to support the idea that the "drone" photos might be representative of something real, and not an elaborate hoax?

I'm interested... is it the photos themselves, the "believability" of the people behind the photos, the stories behind the photos, secret sources?

No need to pick apart any of the peripheral weaknesses of the drone case, go straight for what is considered the strongest point.

Both Whitley & Howe have said before that the stongest aspect of the case was not really the photos; but that they found 'Chad' & that other witness to be incredibly convincing. I think it's the 'Why would somebody hoax something like this?' that's got Linda screwed.

After all, she 'IS' just a reporter.

Goody.
