I’m pretty sure peter is referring to that, but really what I was referring to is making a public disclosure on an official basis (twitter, facebook, website) not an anonymous tipoff that has no accountability from the team itself.

Another way to solve this problem is to resolve some of the dispute and ill feelings exchanged with BARG, enough to invite somebody there to take a little tour of the anomaly and prove to everyone that they are wrong about it being a hoax. A move like this this will erase all doubt from anyone’s mind about it’s authenticity. They could also invite a credentialed scientist on board, but let’s face it the chances of that I think are lower than the idea I just mentioned. But it would be great if they could put something like this together.

but i’m willing to bet that neither is going to happen, and we will be left forever in doubt as the anomaly becomes obscure and forgotten. The anomaly is enertaining and worth following in a ‘light’ way if you treat it as fiction, but it does make me feel a little sad about some of the good members that have invested so much of themselves in the anomaly, when the reality hits them they are going to be in for some major disillusionment.

There is no macroscopic view of the object that could confirm everything they are saying about it, without proof every word they say is meaningless.

sorry what i’m writing is not to detract from your article but to give criticism to how the ox-team is handling this mess.

That’s not possible to do on their web-page or to even make objective criticism on BARG their enemies. I am relegated to posting here because both groups have no concept of free-speech or non-bias posting.
