Tinfoil attention seeker or big claims/flimsy evidence pleader. There's also a lot of lonely, sad people who say the FBI's watching them and have a file on them... delusions of grandeur.
I used to have a similar stance, especially given the outlandish nature of his claims, but a lot of things he said that were initially used against him after the Knapp interview turned out to be accurate over time. His supposed prediction of the discovery of Moscovium ("Element 115") still puzzles me.
Not that that's proving anything but it gives me a harder time to entirely dismiss it.
The Joe Rogan interview linked in sibling comment is an interesting follow up to the initial interviews with George Knapp from the late 80s.
Well one could say that it would be a matter of time before someone discovered the Element 115 - what's curious is that he seems pretty confident when he says that, when we will have a stable version of the element (if ever), it will have the same properties he claims it has.
keep in mind though, that it's no longer delusions of grandeur to suspect a 3 letter agency watching you. Just matter of fact.
Just make an international phone call with a non-citizen, for the most obvious example. Slightly less obvious is just walking around outside if you are within 20 miles of a big city or an international border.
To me, that I still look at these guys claims of spooks watching them with incredulity is a bit disturbing. They were obviously nuts, but now it's a fact of life? Totally bizarre.
