•1) Eyewitnesses were lying and purposely made up or
distorted their stories
Tom Crotser doctored Ahora Gorge photo, Donald Liebermann made up story, Ron Wyatt exaggerated,
George Jammal & USC’s Dr. Gerald Larue
from 1986-1993 and on 1993 film, Palego
doctored photos
Only a few alleged eyewitnesses were proven hoaxers or confessed to
wanting to make religious people
look foolish and gullible
Most purported eyewitnesses took their testimonies to their graves
It would be difficult to make up some of these detailed stories
Ed Davis passed a lie detector test
•2) Eyewitnesses saw rock formations and were
deceived
Eye of the Bird, Ararat Anomaly, Ahora Gorge ledges, Basalt outcroppings,
etc.
This is a very real possibility for some of the
eyewitnesses, especially those from planes and from a distance, but difficult to conceive for all since
a few of them claimed to touch the object, walked on it, saw three decks, cages, timbers, etc.
Perhaps a few “saw” things based on the testimony of their guides – the
power of suggestion
Real problem with this view is that the explorers since
1952 have not seen the same exact rock formations which looked undeniably boat-like
•3) Eyewitnesses told the truth and are correct that a boat is there
Difficult to believe that those who touched it or walked on it were wrong or that all were wrong
Only one true and accurate eyewitness is needed for something to be up
there
