Folks, this is the same government that ran medical experiments on its own citizens. You don't think they could do something like this? Have an open mind is all I'm saying.
The government ran medical experiments on then marginal people it thought no one would ever care about.
Eyewitness testimony is most reliable in aggregate immediately after something occurs. For example, on 9/11
most people reported seeing commercial airliners fly into the World Trade Center; a few people reported something else (different planes, no windows, etc.). Conspiracy junkies throw themselves on these minor inconsistencies erroneously believing there must be some kernel of truth to them. When the media stops reporting or doesn't repeat a claim, it's proof of a cover up! In reality, it was junk to begin with that got discarded because it was inaccurate and irrelevant.
As part of a class I took, a large group of people witnessed a surprising event. Afterward, we had to identify a person from a lineup, write a description of the person, and recount what had happened. The majority of people chose the wrong picture from the lineup, and the descriptions/recountings had drastic differences. Just imagine when hundreds or thousands of people witness something.
