Greer is back on this too ? We have the whole gang now

Carbon 14? Is it made of wood? Egad, it’s a witch!

I dare you to believe this! I got some snake oil for you.

Dr.Greer, enough said. No, thank you

If true, that is a somewhat disturbing amount of years old

Allrighty, someone glued amber to the metal thingy that is 12k years old.
Some resins can be 50 to 300 mil years old

Greer is one of the most obvious reptilians of all time.

Radiocarbon dating can only be used on organic material.

What organic material was recovered from this metal tank that allowed for radiocarbon dating?

Has anyone else noticed the interface scratches in a circle around the circuits? I’m guessing that this is where its mother craft grabs it when docking. Look at the surface carefully with a squint, you can make out small scratch’s in a circle.

The resin is in the small dots holding fiber optic threads in place. Carbon daring can be used on anything that has carbons, not just wood. So many uninformed comments per usual. /sigh/

Wait- the first line of the report says they tested a foraminefera- which is the shell of a singular cell organism- it’s not the Buga sphere, is a pre-Dryas fossil- what gives??
The sphere was confirmed real for me when Dr. Figueroa from UNAM releases his report and asked if he could be involved with future studies.Â
A level 3 professor in Mexico being involved is insane. Those are the best professors in the entire country.Â

Reading the paragraph reminded me of reading a spam email from someone in a foreign country who doesn’t understand English.

Aye that’s where I went to school for undergrad! Im really surprised to see they did the analysis!

Can people please stop calling this con man Doctor?

Tell me you don’t understand how carbon dating works without telling me. This is one of the reasons people need to stay in their academic lane.Â
Carbon 14 just tells you when something died. It doesn’t tell you when something was made. So unless this thing grew on a vine or something, C14 dating tells us absolutely nothing here.Â
We also have no proof the sample of whatever it was came from the sphere. I’m curious as to what they’d even carbon date on there. Definitely not the metal obviously.Â

Carbon 14 dating only works on things that were once alive. It relies on the fact that when things are living it’s constantly refreshing the carbon in it’s body so the ratio matches the natural ratio but once it dies the C14 starts decaying and it drops below the naturally occurring ratio. If it’s not made from plant/animal products C-14 dating is meaningless.

I actually believe Greer somewhat. I don’t know how one can carbon date an alloy metal sphere, but I believe it’s quite old, possibly older than Greer believes.

Welp, I didn’t see that coming

Resin? It looks metallic to me.
