Opinions on folks in the field...

[Soulcore]

I've been sitting here this hazy Saturday, listening to old Coast to Coast broadcasts and reading up on current sightings, and I wanted to get the board's opinion on a few folks.

One of the reasons I enjoy the paracast so much is how unafraid they are to call folks out on their bullshit (ie: Greer), and to give honest opinions on events and people. Plus I'm a fellow photoshop professional/ufo experiencer, so the show has a special place in my heart.

I got caught up in The Disclosure Project BS when I first saw it, and it took me YEARS to figure out that Greer was a fraud and had included amazingly UNcredible witnesses in with very credible ones. Clifford Stone is laughable. Anybody remember Tom Bearden?

So, what are the boards' thoughts on the likes of Whitely Strieiber, Linda Moulton Howe, Richard C. Hoagland, and Keith Morgan.

I was aware of Howe's work on cattle mutilation but am just now reading up on her EBE info. I've always thought Hoagland was a joke but I'm just now really looking into his credentials, so that's up in the air. Strieber is a mystery to me. I'm a Pinchbeck fan and I know he called him on his fear mongering, but I think he's had interesting and genuine experiences.

So, don't hold back, be honest. What do you guys think?

In large part you'll find many answers to your questions simply by using this forum's Search feature. We have already weighed in on the failures of Linda Moulton Howe -- particularly when it comes to the alleged "Drone" pictures -- and those of Richard C. Hoagland.

Once you do that, I think you'll see where you can fill in some more of your own ideas, OK?

Lately I've been thinking we need to coin a term that encapsulates the trend of researchers starting out with good work and then gradually going bad. It seems like there is a parallel to music where a band's first album or two are great and then they sell out, get fat and rich and produce inexplicable crap. There are genuine artists that remain relevant for their entire careers and there are One-Hit Wonders. Perhaps we could call it the "First Album Effect"?
