Beer And UFOs
Old UFO books are full of reports on witnesses who we are assured “weren’t drinking.” I’ve only ever heard of one case where someone was so drunk that our consensus reality took a little vacation, and it wasn’t even UFO case. The man was so sauced that he mistook a Christmas tree for his father–not an alien.
The point here is that if someone is so drunk they can’t tell their ass from a hole in the ground, they are unlikely to report a UFO or aliens or anything. It would be difficult to remember and recall with any degree of accuracy. I’ve never read a UFO report in which the investigator said “The witness was drunk, so we can’t rely on the account.” Of course, even if a witness was inebriated, he or she probably wouldn’t reveal that to the interviewer. In any case, so what if they were? Lights in the distance is one thing, a structured craft landing in front of someone is unlikely to be forgotten, whatever state of mind you happen to be in.
But this is all academic. What about aliens shaped like beer cans, waddling around on little “fins?” This is one of my minor favorites, from Long Prarie, Wisconsin on October 23, 1965, and probably made the witness think twice before telling about it. Disk jockey James Towsley was on his way home from the radio station when he saw a “rocket like” object in the road. As he tells it:
It was about 7:15 p.m. and I was coming back from Little Falls on Highway 27 when I rounded a bend. All of a sudden my engine stopped, my lights went out and my radio stopped playing. I let the car coast and then I put on the brakes because I saw this thing in the center of the highway. It was like a rocket ship. It was about 30-feet tall and about 10 feet in diameter. It was sitting on fins. Then I saw them. They were standing in a big circle of light under the ship. I jumped out of my car and was going to knock one over but then they came at me. They came right up to the car. There were three of them. They had no eyes or anything. Just those tripod legs and the matchstick arms. They were like tin cans. The size of a beer can. I was going to grab one but then I figured that if they could stop my car and put out my lights they could do something awful to me. So we just stood there looking at each other and then they turned around and scooted back under the ship. The light was so bright I didn’t see where they went. Then there was a high-pitched humming sound and the ship took off straight up.

I commented on this uninformed hackmanship over at UFO UpDates myself:
“Where is ‘midsummer madness’ quantified? Moreover, not only does
beer not make you hallucinate, it makes one less likely to see a UFO.
Some *reporters* should just stuff a sock in it, you know?”

Those beings clearly were visitors from the planet Budweiser…
Yeah! it’s disgusting how skeptics think UFOs can be easily dismissed as the new Pink Elephants.

Al L,
Obviously these reporters have never dabbled in psychedelics.

Perhaps another reason why they, periodically, need to be whacked with a stout board. With such it should, perhaps, even be mandatory.
…little boundary dissolution would be good for ‘em, duplicitous hack bastids.
