Actually, its a philosophical rule of thumb. "Sceptics" use it to shave off anomalous ideas/reports ect that grow in places. ;) > cut violation of this. However a close reading of Min Min accounts > from the Australian desert suggests as much--electromagnetic phenomena > combined with visual ones in close proximity to each other. I live in Australia, and have ventured out several times into the desert looking for and videoing lights/interviewing witnesses etc about the Min Min lights. As I have pointed out before in this forum. When you start getting report after report from sheepshearers/kangaroo shooters etc of Min Min lights doing the following you end up with a problem with Min Min = <simple> earth light. The lights can move in groups and follow/chase a car for up to 20 minutes-they can move away from an approaching observer, and then move towards, when the observer retreats<mans magnetic field is to tiny to effect the light at 30+ metres>, the lights can be shot at with a .22 and remain,yet vanish when fired at with a .303 Many people forget that because some lights are "explained" as "earth lights" which are linked with geological conditions, doesnt mean that ALL anomalous lights = earth light, and I am not talking about ET type stuff. If the basketball shaped light appears in a graveyard, ghost hunters will go "look, a ghost",if the same light appears a few metres above the ground in a paddock, a cattle farmer will go ,"look, a Min Min"/and if you move the same light into the night sky, at say 30 metres, UFO bufs will go ,"look a UFO". So which is right? I am interested how hard core EL proponents would explain the following. A light appears , which is about the size of a small car,stops about 10 metres above a small dam,sucks up water into itself for about 5 minutes and then leaves.This is in front of about 30 local aboriginals. Occams would have to say fraud wouldnt it. ! Because it doesnt fit. And thats a tame report.! Mike
