Open Mind's Forum had Ms. Joiner in there this week and Bren Burton posted an email she sent him telling him that she was fired because of it. She obviously got in a tiff with her bosses because she gave them a two-week notice. Then when she came back into work her computer was gone and they told her she was fired.<BR/><BR/>I can just picture this being a political thing between the paper, the Mayor and the City Council. They see a mockery and she sees the truth. They won, she lost, we lost.Atrueoriginallhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17754487232993372983noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6624008755912934271.post-88145139642212202522008-02-09T14:25:00.000-05:002008-02-09T14:25:00.000-05:00Unbelievable nesbittplac7, Angelia Joinerl the jou...Unbelievable nesbittplac7, <BR/><BR/>Angelia Joinerl the jounalist who broke the story lost her job because of it. <BR/><BR/> I guess after all she was not part of the McConnell's plot. <BR/><BR/> My sadness is for her job lost. But what she did is what always make America special, she wrote the truth, in times when to speak the truth comes at a cost. You can't by that type of integrity you have to earn it. , you are to me what a real journalist is about thank you for you service.<BR/><BR/><BR/> The UFO community also needs to stop eating it's young. These brave people are being subjected to a type of NAZI tactics. Say what we want you to say or else. <BR/>Also we have the Ricky Sorrells in Dublin Texas, close to Stephenville do we have anyone coming to the defense of this guy and what he is going through?<BR/><BR/>"Sorrells believes military officials have been harassing him by flying military aircraft over his property at low altitudes, at all hours of the day and night. Sorrells runs livestock on his place and said the cattle don’t react well to the disturbances. It’s also been hard to get any sleep"<BR/>Of course anyone could lie but the history of UFOs reports indicate this happens to hundreds of UFO witnesses who have been harassed and threatened by the government and others. Here is what he says about a conversation with a military call he received.<BR/>Sorrells said the conversation started out nice enough.<BR/><BR/>“He was sort of nice to me right off,” Sorrells said. “He asked to come and talk to me.”<BR/><BR/>Sorrells said he told the man that he needed time to think about it and then, “He (the man) became really arrogant.”<BR/><BR/>The caller told Sorrells he wasn’t taking “no” for an answer and would be out to talk to him. Sorrells again tried to politely tell the man he did not wish to have company.<BR/><BR/>After that, Sorrells said the conversation became heated and he told the man not to cross his cattle guard.<BR/><BR/>Sorrells said the man responded with, “ Son, we have the same caliber weapons as you do but a lot more of them.”<BR/><BR/>People who see UFOs don't expect this. They have no idea this happens in our world so when it happens to them it is right out of left field.<BR/><BR/>All these criticism of what UFO witnesses and what they should have done is mute.<BR/> I think we need to educate the public to what they should do when they have a very close encounter because the stakes change when that happens. The government can take lights in the sky, but close scrutiny of craft, that is something they will deal with on or off the record. <BR/>Thanks For the Udate<BR/>Joseph Capp<BR/>UFO Media MattersJoseph Capphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12428219762980782866noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6624008755912934271.post-43739288403649942492008-02-09T12:49:00.000-05:002008-02-09T12:49:00.000-05:00After posting, I realized not everyone would know ...After posting, I realized not everyone would know who I was talking about.

I was so angry after I read post I just had to respond.<BR/> Does he think we are that stupid or is he just trying to make a name for himself by being a AH if you know what I mean.<BR/><BR/>McConnell is apart of a growing number of Bloggers who put down MUFON or write as if it doesn't exist. <BR/>I would bet none of them have a "MUFON FIELD INVESTIGATORS MANUAL" and I know they couldn't past the test... without reading the manual. The idea that in a few keyboard stokes he tries wipes out the millions of public service hours put in by UFO field investigators who volunteer their "professional services" make me immediately on the defensive. There are ways to constructively criticized but that is not even close to what he does. <BR/>Some of our UFO "spiritual brothern" do the same thing.<BR/><BR/>In today's world I am embarrassed by the lack of empathy shown for one another as reflected in the media and in our government. But when a person, who through no fault of their own, shows integrity and courage by coming forward on a UFO report only to be hack them to death in the public area is shameless.<BR/>You know after all the books and blogs and presentations are done these people have to go back to their communities I believe we should do all we can to give an honest witness support whether they saw a UFO or just were honestly mistaken. <BR/><BR/><BR/><BR/>Thanks again for your informative comment.<BR/>Joseph Capp<BR/>UFO Media Matters <BR/>Non-Commercial Blog<BR/><BR/>UFO Media Matters <BR/>Non-Commerical BlogJoseph Capphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12428219762980782866noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6624008755912934271.post-54834327394361809022008-02-09T11:13:00.000-05:002008-02-09T11:13:00.000-05:00I thought the best part of McConnell's story was t...I thought the best part of McConnell's story was the picture at the top of the page. <BR/><BR/>Next to those cars in the photo (but not shown) is a street sign, which states Eden. There is no Eden Street, Drive or anything else in a tremendously large radius of Stephenville, Dublin etc. Consequently, it was pronounced a hoax by Stephenville residents the very day it appeared on YouTube January 16th, but McConnell was ranting the following on January 31st. <BR/><BR/>"VIDEO FOOTAGE OF THE ALLEGED UFO IN STEPHENVILLE TEXAS IS NOT A SMOKING GUN. Please take note that the so-called UFO has top and bottom navigation lights on it. Now, why would a UFO need Earth navigation lights?." <BR/><BR/>It was already a known hoax when he wrote his article so why did he bother putting it in his article? This sighting was not only discovered as a hoax, the actual footage the individual used in his YouTube was UFO footage from a New York state UFO hoax.<BR/><BR/>http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mxQtBzekPr8Atrueoriginallhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17754487232993372983noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6624008755912934271.post-35180026140337104082008-02-09T09:40:00.000-05:002008-02-09T09:40:00.000-05:00Dear Blase,Thank you and I if you find out anythin...Dear Blase,<BR/>Thank you and I if you find out anything about him please e-mail me.

This is real life, and people who happen to be UFO witnesses --those who see objects, who undergo tremendous elation or tremendous fear during the event and its aftermath, and who face what can happen to their lives and their families when they report it-- those real witnesses have harsh realizations and tough decisions in store."<BR/><BR/>Many people simply have no idea what these sightings put you through. No idea at all.<BR/><BR/>"For over 80 years UFO witnesses have courageously given public testimony to what they experienced, and by their thankless, often DANGEROUS participation, these thousands of witnesses are opening the door ever wider to the truth."<BR/><BR/>Very dangerous at times. Just take a look at what poor Mr. Sorrells is going through. Not to mention the reporter who just lost her job over this. I wonder if Mr McConnell has given that a thought. If he wants a good argument, maybe he should be calling on all the people who are telling these witnesses and reporters to shut their mouths. Who is this McConnell guy? I am going to look into him right now. Thanks again for this article.<BR/><BR/><A HREF="http://thestarpeople.blogspot.com/" REL="nofollow">UFO's And The Star People</A>BLASehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16270898223466131204noreply@blogger.com
