Also a memorandum from the Los Angeles Sheriff's department reporting a the same kind of sighting by one of its officers three months earlier. Marzek has done good work on this case. Amparano seems very credible to me in what Kevin reports.Jeanne Rupperthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05382531551858084318noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11558306.post-60842503675888526322015-08-28T16:33:03.726-07:002015-08-28T16:33:03.726-07:00Here's a copy of Jason Marzek's 2014 "...Here's a copy of Jason Marzek's 2014 "Fringe Republic" article on Amparano, where he interviewed the witness, from archive.org:<br /><br />http://bit.ly/1KrCrbLSteve Sawyerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17716314515943305158noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11558306.post-28771970655219472312015-08-28T14:40:45.177-07:002015-08-28T14:40:45.177-07:00I am new to this blog, but I find it very interest...I am new to this blog, but I find it very interesting.<br /><br />An interesting take on the human mind in relation to memory and witness testimony can be found in the book "The Invisible Gorilla" by Christopher Chabris and Daniel Simons.<br /><br />The 9/11 vivid memory experiment and the various crime witness testimony examples provide clues that the human mind is not a great recording device. Clues indicate the details of an event may not stay the same over the years, even though you may vividly recall the event.<br /><br />Anyway, the book may help researchers keep perspective when dealing with witness testimony that varies over time and even differences in multiple witness testimony. The book shows that such things may not necessarily speak negatively to the honesty and integrity of the witness.Joehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15309187625645758552noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11558306.post-67828991727017767712015-08-27T16:39:58.750-07:002015-08-27T16:39:58.750-07:00I love the way Amparano slaps down some of the buf...I love the way Amparano slaps down some of the buffoonish nattering nabobs of negativity posting here.

As you know sometimes we'll never k...Hi Kevin,<br /><br />As you know sometimes we'll never know what a witness saw many years ago. The best we can do is to try to eliminate some of the other possibilities. I contacted Jason Marzec at what appears to be his former website to let him know about the discussion on your blog. He in turn contacted Mr. Amparano. I did communicate with Mr. Amparano via the website mainly concerning the rocket launch theory. He told me that he had seen rocket launches in the past but not that night, he described them as blue green and didn't resemble what he saw. He said that none were reported to any of 14 different police agencies in the surrounding area. He told me that there had been incidents in the area where teens were setting fires in trees, this is what prompted him to investigate. This is all from memory and the Fringe Republic website doesn't exist anymore. A new website with the same name but apparently unrelated to Jason has taken it's place. I'm no internet guru so I don't know if there's a way to recover that information via an archival search.<br /><br />I have an e-mail address for Jason and his phone number which I can't share by his request. If you think we can gain any further information from Mr. Amparano I could possibly contact Jason and get a message to Mr. Amparano. Jason lives in the area, he may be able to do a search for newspaper articles on the subject but I certainly can't speak for him.<br /><br />Just as an aside, I knew about his responses on your blog some time ago but felt mentioning them to you would be off topic.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16703256896826354786noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11558306.post-81566904920957967272015-08-27T07:27:04.319-07:002015-08-27T07:27:04.319-07:00No offense to anyone but if you can't see that...No offense to anyone but if you can't see that the witness at this juncture is probably not the best place to find objective facts then UFO investigation is a good career choice,<br /><br />LanceLancehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17280922104955532058noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11558306.post-32915471050864791382015-08-26T20:07:27.016-07:002015-08-26T20:07:27.016-07:00Delli Hunter

My original intent with this article was...albert -<br /><br />My original intent with this article was to sort of endorse what Amparano was saying because he is the main witness. But I also went back to those sources from 1978 and it seems that some of the quotes would have had to be from Amparano given the context of the statements... Coral Lorenzen didn't make up the silver quote, it came to her from the man who interviewed Amaparano in 1978. He was quick to point us to these two articles, both of which I used in my original pieces, but they don't exactly match what he is saying today. With Lorenzen dead and the Herald Express gone, it would take someone in the area to follow up by getting to libraries, newspaper archives and the like... and as I noted, the "independent" witnesses were all friends of Amparano and I'm just not sure how independent that testimony is today.<br /><br />The point is, I don't think you need to defend yourself here because the information we all used was published sources which included timely interviews with Amparano.KRandlehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06333125414889883920noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11558306.post-67627330020797330842015-08-26T13:16:29.966-07:002015-08-26T13:16:29.966-07:00Regarding my statement as cited by Ampararo:

Ampararo probably wouldn't have read either publication at the time. I wouldn't call them 'main-stream media'.<br />.<br />In http://kevinrandle.blogspot.co.il/2015/06/kerman-california-ufo-case-update.html - I later stated:<br />"...Neither the IUR nor the APRO articles quote Ampararo. Neither are the authors credited. Why should they be considered sources? It's BS. Except for the Fresno Bee, who's quoting Ampararo? Maybe IUR and APRO are quoting the Bee...."<br />.<br />Maybe it's OK to summarize a witnesses statements. Reporters do it all the time. The issues raised years or decades later demand _actual quotations_, preferably back by recordings, or 'witnesses' present at the interview. Otherwise, it's just 'he said - she said'.<br />.<br />Perhaps Ampararo and the various authors are persons of sterling character and impeccable integrity; I can't say. But the discrepancies need un-discrepancing.<br />. .. . .. oalberthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15547680170328747214noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11558306.post-770334838418592152015-08-26T11:54:56.028-07:002015-08-26T11:54:56.028-07:00K Randle..."What is interesting here is not t...K Randle..."What is interesting here is not the information about the compensation claim but the information that the report caused Amparano some personal trouble.
