Perhaps 'Thatch' was just being mischievous or didn't actually hear or understand fully what was being said, we don't know how noisy the soiree was, or how drunk 'Thatch' was. As for her oft used phrase "You must get your facts right,", sounds like a phrase she just used to cover disinterest or lack of knowledge. I knew a chap some years ago who always said 'It is what it is.", it was his response to almost anything that was vague, it seemed to be just a 'tool', a shield to hide his ignorance or indifference behind. Likewise I can see 'You can't tell the people' as just a response sound-bite, very ambiguous and the person receiving it does all the work, if their imagination believes in gnomes, aliens or unicorns, then that's what they perceive her response was alluding to. As for the event itself, I think that Dr Clarke said it all in his response above, that Halt just went to bed. The events obviously weren't that important to him that night. I'm sceptical and certainly have read or seen nothing that would indicate the reality of aliens visiting Earth, yet if I had experienced something that these guys 'believed' they had, then I probably wouldn't be sleeping until the nervous breakdown from the overwork I would be putting in to prove or explain what had happened. You can't win with these alien visitation believers, first they believe that there is a global conspiracy amongst ALL world governments to cover up the existence of alien piloted UFOs, this in a world where, in the whole of recorded history, humans have never had consensus about anything. Then when the governments release the goods on what they do have, and it doesn't support their belief, they ignore what is before them and claim another conspiracy ! We are now living on a planet of over 7 billion people, and there must be over a billion to two billion of them that are carrying a camera or camera phone most of the day, yet all we get are fuzzy blobs and Chinese lanterns. For a few generations now billions of people have had more chance than ever before in history of encountering aliens or time-travelling humans, and still we have as much evidence as we have for unicorns, the Loch Ness monster and an honest politician! What puzzles me is that we live in an information age, and the preponderance of evidence is that aliens have not visited Earth, ever. Yet the hyper-sceptical, bogeyman under the bed conspiracy people, still cherry pick the chaff instead of the wheat, and bake a loaf of complete unreality. It's strange how folks believing in one conspiracy, also believe in most of the others, must be the mindset.
