Short answer for the UFOlogists, in the `80s the oil companies were near the top of the economic heap in the western world and had the money to do this sort of promotion.

The problem with that is you can't tell who can actually have their mind changed. I've seen plenty of people who appeared to be genuine true believers, but who eventually realized they had been fooled, sometimes after years. There are many...

Thanks for that. Although, I'm not really sure what the difference is in the two statements.
I started this thread because the chatter about the Amorco alien figure has come around again (probably in the lead up to Disclosure Day's release) and...

Maybe this will help. I think you are saying that a person might look at the Amoco alien ad and say "That looks like it might be a real photograph of a physical object, so what it shows might be real." I am saying that a person might look at it...
