He sometimes exaggerated the "Fortean" aspects of some stories, but I don't think he was outright dishonest.Undinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16214242522330278662noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7493712084606110971.post-56779829061241585382019-10-23T08:50:53.300-07:002019-10-23T08:50:53.300-07:00Why would Fort "overlook" the finding of...Why would Fort "overlook" the finding of the skeletons?

I suppose they figured it was better to try and reach that station themselves rather than wait to be found. We'll never know.<br /><br />What also puzzles me is how Fort missed that the pilots had been found. It was a fairly big story at the time.Undinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16214242522330278662noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7493712084606110971.post-25361211202311170072014-04-29T06:40:10.230-07:002014-04-29T06:40:10.230-07:00As interesting as Fortean mysteries are - and I su...As interesting as Fortean mysteries are - and I suspect many truly are strange and, as yet, unsolved - I imagine many gather the patina of inexplicability through embellishment. The facts that made this mystery less mysterious were probably available at the time but simply not reported because they were too mundane. But why did the air crew walk away from their aeroplane when they should have known their comrades would search for them soon? Many people who are lost figure they'll just walk for help instead of waiting. It usually has the same unfortunate results each time.John Bellenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10946140614088069665noreply@blogger.com
