What do skeptics think about Sheehan?

I’m a skeptic, and I’d like to engage with other skeptics. If you’re a true believer, please don’t engage with off-topic comments.

I don’t know much about Sheehan, he’s always seemed like a fringe-player on the topic, and I never gave him much thought. That’s why I’m turning to this community to get me up to speed on this dude.

I just watched the new Coulthart interview, and I have some questions.

Has Sheehan ever tried to recreate the alien symbols he described? I know it was 40+ years ago, but when you trace something “in detail” you’d probably remember at least the broad strokes.

Whether or not it’s true, I’d like to see those symbols, because he says they were not of this world, and then lists three languages that they weren’t… which seems like underwhelming evidence to me.

As someone into puzzles and cryptography, I’d really love to seem them for myself. I can think of at least 4 ciphers that would look alien to me if I’d never seen them before.

Can anyone explain how someone describing a photograph is “first hand evidence” ?

The photograph would be first hand evidence right? The very nature of hearsay is that it’s second hand?

That seems like something you would learn at Harvard Law School, and it doesn’t make a bit of sense to me.

Coulthart and Sheehan are acting like this is going to be the downfall of the the greatest shadow government the world has ever seen, and it all hinges on the testimony of a man who had potential evidence of alien life… and gave it to a priest?

He also obtained that evidence by outsmarting the greatest shadow government the world has ever seen, by cleverly writing it on the cover of the notebook instead of a page… Those fools! They’ll never be able to keep this under wraps!

…unless the guy with the evidence gives it to a priest for… some reason?

is it possible that the aliens are actually the ones responsible for the terrible data dissemination tactics of these hundreds of people who all say they had first hand evidence, but can’t provide it because of (insert excuse)
