Annoyed at their 'Investigative Techniques'

RE: The one on History Channel

I just caught most of the "Abductions" episode and found myself annoyed at the way they either performed the investigation, or edited it all together for the show.

I'm especially referring to the segment where the gentleman had a metal object in his thigh.

First they showed the object reacts to a magnet while in his body. Then they go on to use a gauss meter and said it had a strong magnetic field. DUH! You just exposed it to a "250 pound" magnet. Most people know you can take a non-magnetic metal and temporarily magnetize it with a strong magnet.

Then they took RF readings. Well, I hate to say it, but you can pick up RF freq's off everybody. After removing the object, they tested it again for an RF signal and got nothing. Maybe they should have checked the guys leg again without the object ;P.

Although i will say, i was mildly entertained at all this.

I saw that episode and I have to say, as a UFO supporter, their way of investigation is somewhat similar to Ghost Hunters. I have respect for people who have nothing else to do with their lives trying to find the truth, but at least make sure to look more professional.

HAHA you also forgot to mention how they were all surprised to see the metal object move "under its own power" There was a DR sitting right there, Doesnt he know that if your diggin shrapnel out the Tissues around it move while your trying to remove it, Not to mention they say it had a nerve bundle around it that suggests it was in his body long befor he knew about it.

Same thing happend to me only I remember the Piece of chain hitting my wrist in 1986 then when it was removed in 2005 it had migrated up in to my shoulder.
So like Myth Busters its another waste of time and full of people who are intelligent but not Smart. This just proves how some people want to find something so bad they don't pay attention to common sense Explanations.
Now I do Believe, I have seen things that there are no explanations for But I dont care who believes me or not. Thats not what matters, But what does matter are these people out there that are so blinded by what they want they dont see what is right there.
