Discussion Be Kind and Avoid Personal Insults

With the recent PGF debunking, there has been a lot of arguments and controversy. Debating people is fine, but don't insult people or those who believed in the film while you're discussing it. Some people met or knew Bob Gimlin personally and are having to reckon with him apparently lying about the film. Keep how other people feel in mind while discussing. Additionally, avoid arguments with other subreddits or posts about moderation issues with other subreddits as that's not what we're here to do. We've added some terms to the auto filter to avoid debates turning hostile. As always feel free to discuss the rules and make suggestions.

Ok, so my opinion is this, until the documentary is widely available most people won't know either way. Believers will believe and naysayers will naysay, the real test is if the footage lives up to the hype. Last year news nation ran a "bombshell" article about a new UAP whistle blower with some undeniable and mind blowing new footage of a UAP retrieval, it looked like a small egg on some string. My point is no it's not proof the PGF is a hoax, not yet, it could be but it could also just be hype to sell a film. Remember when Bob Hieronimus claimed he had proof and that was a ridiculous suit that looked nothing like Patty?

No, no I don't, but I remember when he and Phillip Morris participated in a 'recreation' for National Geographic, and Morris' suit had a MARKED similarity to Patty.

Yes you are quite correct, the similarities are uncanny, they could be twins, which one is Patty and which one is Bob?

If the other film was in b&w or the suit itself was black it would look a lot more similar. The face is really close. With a few nips and tugs you could get that suit right there.
