Well, George, I do see what you are saying but there ARE many times where people with say exactly what Foley has stated here simply to avoid being held responsible for any backlash. So it can be hard to determine what is the truth from what is fiction.
I would have to watch that special again and pay close attention to the wordage being used. In the series that I have seen on the History Channel about Ancient Aliens, it is clear if you pay attention to the wordage they constantly say that, "it is believe" as where is Ancient Alien "therorists" so while there are things to contemplate there is an over all message that it is all based on "WHAT IF". And quite frankly I am amazed at how broad they brought that "theory" to even say that the BIG FOOT are also created by "ALIENS". Ugh, really?

The way they depicted this special on the mermaids, the constant message was that there HAS BEEN PROOF, EVEN FOOTAGE and that actual acredited scientists were in volved directly with the actual evidence. It is expressed that this evidence was confiscated from these scientists leaving them without the proof they need to show that this is real. And I know that THE REAL DANGERS IN FRACKING ALSO IS HIDDEN AND DENIED AS WELL.

And we have found some amazing things that were thought extinct so, I keep an open mind. This doesn't mean I am gullible.
