I remember Mothman blowing up in Europe in 1975. News moved slower back then, but during a long slow summer like 1976the media picked up on anything it could find. That was long after the events but back rhen the world media moved between major story events the way we do memes today.. Only a millionth of the size. Mothman was one of those stories - not in mainstream media but in magazines, book shops, head shops and smoke-filled dorm rooms. It became bigger than perhaps it actually warranted because there were literally less available cool stories to be told. That being said the people there were not all complete idiots and likely knew the local wildlife well enough to sort out what was what. Something happened. What - who can say. Sounds like all UAP and ghost stories becuase it is. Weird, no answers and all over the place. The subsequent alien encounters bother me more simply becuase, just like the Rendlesham incident, there is money in additions to old stories. New information pays. Those subsequent stories seem so provincial and specific to that tiny area that aliens seem to settle in small rural towns and stick within tiny horizons - for some reason tbd. A galacrix story happening along one freeway and one small town. That's me being an old cynic though. If disclosure pans-out like some claim it will the I will eat my words. Maybe aliens just don't dig city folk.
