Hillary Clinton is not running for president. But she may very well be *sauntering* for president.

Project Blue Book Episode 9 - The Hill Abduction (Almost)
I suppose the only thing to say about this latest episode is that it was really annoying. It was based, loosely, on the Hill abduction in 1961. Yes, we had the black man abducted, but his wife was also black and not abducted.

Anyway, the black man was abducted by alien creatures and the terms abducted and aliens were b... more »
