[edit] conspiracy theory stereotype - pseudo science

"A few days after his visit, the manager was called away from her job without telling her why."

Indeed here is a citation needed, or it should be deleted. This is classical conspiracy theory, the order to "covering up" "from above".

The references mention Erich v. Däniken. That books mentioned of him - this IS worst pseudo science (even much less), or rather intolerable <beep mode on> bs <beep mode off>, IMHO

It would seem to me that English is not the first language of any of the above users. Your comments and the wording of the article read very poorly.

[edit] Copyvios - Resolved?

The content at http://www.crystalinks.com/dropa.html is identical to this article. I'm not sure who's copying who. ~MDD4696 04:44, 12 August 2007 (UTC)

Apparently that page copied this one, as it ends with a link to this article. Seems fine to me. 24.82.203.201 06:50, 22 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Chinese name?

"Tsum Um Nui" is not a real Chinese name. It doesn't follow real Chinese phonotactics, but is close enough that Westerners with only a passing familiarity with Chinese might mistake it for one. So where does the hanzi equivalent "楚聞明" given later in the article come from? How would that actually be pronounced? — Gwalla | Talk 04:34, 12 November 2007 (UTC)

That is a great question. I put the characters into a character to pinyin converter and got: Chu Wen Ming.90.128.29.37 (talk) 17:15, 28 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] saw a program about this

The History Channel showed a program called UFO FILES: CHINA'S ROSWELL.

During the cultural revolution in China a lot of stuff from museums was destroyed. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NQ6FvdnmiQk&NR=1

Anyway, the first parts of that show, which you can also find on YouTube, shows all the myths. Then near the end, they explain where the scam came from. Dream Focus (talk) 22:53, 31 December 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Picture

Am I imagining this, or did there use to be a picture of 2-3 small people (black and white picture) on this page? 75.48.164.51 (talk) 06:36, 19 May 2008 (UTC)
