Filiberto Caponi case

[skunkape]

I was wondering what some of you out there think of the Filiberto Caponi case. My first reaction to his photos was that they were ridiculous...it looks like a sick muppet...but something about weirdness of his tale makes it stick in my mind as interesting.

It's a type of vine, root or fungus. Something like that. I'll see if I can find the source of the info. along with pics which should prove it.

Well, I looked around and couldn't find the source with pics. Anyone else know what I'm talking about?

These are creepy looking photos, but a vine?? Thats interesting and even more creepy.

I've seen these photos before but haven't really even thought realistically about them. As Skunkape put it, "ridiculous". Sometimes you just look at photos and move on without looking any deeper. Thats what I've done with this one. I'll have to read up on it.

Well, it was some type of growth. Not sure if it was a vine. Root and fungus also came to mind. He may have added 2 black eyes to it. Anyway, I seen pics of the growth, and it was a dead ringer for the photos.

If anyone comes across what I'm referring to, please post.

Timothy Good actually uses these photos in his book Unearthly Disclosure.

I really dont get Good sometimes. On the one hand he seems to be super respected and speaks with dignity and like someone you can trust. But on the other hand he makes some of the most insanely outrageous claims (backed up by secret sources) to do with aliens among us, secret bases and all the rest.

He seemed to buy the story of the above mentioned pictures 110% too.

A really freakin' cool mandrake root? No, wait...I just saw it on the news. Tinky-Winky from the Teletubbies was horribly disfigured in a freak industrial accident! That damned vacuum-cleaner robot went berserk.

I don't pay much attention to Good these days for reasons like the above.

I don't think it was a Mandrake root. I vaguely recall it starting with a Y and was a hard to pronounce word. Not sure if that's correct though.

The "Spring-Heeled Jack" and "Devil's footprints" cases come to mind...I'm pretty sure I saw an illustration of the footprints in one, or maybe both of those cases and it was a two-toed print, like this "critter" has...and what the hell are those white tubes protruding from it's chest? If this is a fake, imagine the mind that thought plopping some Smucker's on it's head would make it more convincing.

Unbelievable as Caponi's photos and story may look, currently I consider them authentic. Have a look at UFO occupants Also, although I think Ufocasebook's webmaster has good intentions, it seems that nearly every photo on that website has been put through a PS blur / distort filter ...

This seems to be the normal resting state every UFO researcher eventually attains. It's like the high strangeness is a black hole. The researcher stands on the event horizon, continually being sucked into the strangeness. The result is a fatal stretching into a dual identity -- a credible side and a ridiculous side.
