In my analysis of the Dworshak book about his alleged space visitor contacts in 1932 through to the 1960s, I noted some of the inconsistencies in the “memoir.”

David Rudiak countered with a half-baked ramble about wheat production for North Dakota and the non-drought of 1936!

I went looking for a rainy period for 1932 to show that the Dworshak boys couldn’t have been traipsing about the countryside if it were raining.

What I found was that the 1932 period for Killdeer, North Dakota was a drought season which anyone can find by paying $19.95 for the weather records of Killdeer via weather-warehouse.com.

Mr. Rudiak assumes that a rainy period for 1936 applies to the year 1932 and offers a link to the 1936 records, which are not only irrelevant but non-accessible. (He hoped that no one could check out his source.)

One of the RRRGroup fellows is a farmer, from a well-known and successful farm family in northern Indiana.

He confirmed what I wrote (and Bruce Duensing supplemented) about farm boys being tethered to the farm, during a drought or rainy period, or any other time, to do chores, contravening Mr. Dworshak’s commentary about going to see his ship every few days, in the evening when chores are being wrapped up for farmers with the help of their sons (and sometimes daughters).

But that’s not the crux of my criticism about the “memoir.”

There are other remembrances that don’t ring true. For instance…

At one point Mr. Dworshak write about seeing the space ship later in life while he was driving along a country road.

He parked his car when he saw the ship land, and decided to walk to the landing site.

To find his way back, as it was nightfall, he put his car’s parking lights on then walked three miles to the landing site, with another mile down a valley to get to the ship.

Now what car’s parking lights would help anyone from three or four miles away, in a forest area, even if they were traveling in a straight line? (Mr. Dworshak was following a winding lane with trees and bushes, certainly not conducive to a line-of-sight parking light signal.)

Such “details” found by reading the story causes a sensible person to use their critical faculties.

Mr. Rudiak doesn’t do that.

He presumes that Mr. Dworshak’s tale is an ET event and defends it as gospel, as he does with any UFO event (Roswell, Socorro, et al.), often splitting hairs and misusing or converting “facts” to fit his ET obsession.

I didn’t dismiss Mr. Dworshak’s account, out of hand. I merely showed what didn’t add up for me, and what may have caused him to produce his tale.

Maybe he did meet space visitors from another galaxy, in a ship that roamed the whole Earth by itself, to keep track of ecological and social disruptions.

But the story has holes and common sense orders one to set it aside as meaningless as it exists.

Taking a potshot at me for claiming farm facts, and twisting the weather statistics I found by using non-pertinent data causes me to doubt all other “facts” that Mr. Rudiak has provided over the years, at his web-site and in commentary at other sites.

Mr. Rudiak has done this before, with my assertions and conjectures.

For some reason, my thinking, as obtuse as it may be, causes him angst and nervousness.

I could provide a psychoanalytic but won’t.

Let’s just say that I dismiss Mr. Rudiak’s criticisms as lunatic.
