Given the contradictions in the testimony, yes, it's impossible. It's pretty much a given that, whatever the truth was, many if not all children misperceived and misremembered it. Which is human nature and not at all their fault, but was...

The speaker closes with "Yes, we have no bananas; we have no bananas today." Source: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8QqkrIDeTeA

It is likely to me that they are/were mostly telling the truth as the observed it and as they later recalled it. You can tell the truth as you know it and be seriously in error, though. It is not belittling to any witness to point out that...

This is brilliant! The speaker might be Frank Thompson, a Congressman from New Jersey, Wikipedia https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frank_Thompson But the banana smoker is a different breed. He is a driven man who cannot get the banana off his back...

This isn't really the place for it, but the concept that "the government are looking into a matter therefore there's some credibility to it" has been nebulously spread around many threads historically, with probably many more to come. Anyway, by...

First of all, a heart felt thanks for Metabunk! The fact that every other forum out there is borderline unreadable with the constant barrage of flashing, blinking ads and pop-up videos, makes this place a visual relief if nothing else. Of...

As someone who comments on contentious topics (notably UFOs), I'm sometimes accused of being a paid shill or part of a disinformation effort. I am not. What follows is a factual summary of my income sources, to the extent I can disclose them...

Another desperate attempt to belittle the witnesses. It's starting to get painful. Is it possible the children were telling the truth?

Its an MAP75 Puma, essentially an armoured hull and engine compartment on a truck chassis. Successor to the Crocodile. The photo would be from the 1993-95 UN deployment in Somalia. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MAP75_armoured_personnel_carrier
