Well if we are going to engage in that kind of SF flight of fancy anything could’ve happened to him.
It could also explain Samantha Guthrie’s grandmother.
“Elderly” is generally defined as being 65 years of age or older, which aligns with typical retirement ages, Medicare eligibility, and social program definitions in many developed nations.
Or so says AI. I’m 71 this month and fuck AI and the horse it rode in on.
Vaporized… yep that’s what I’m thinking.
Yeah, the article states, per the sheriff:
He is “an avid outdoorsman” who hikes, runs and cycles in Albuquerque’s Northeast Heights neighborhood and the Sandia Mountains foothills.
Sounds like this could be an Amelia Earhart situation (someone disappears, some say aliens, others say Atlantis, while still others say it’s probably the wide open expanse that they were known to be in and that people disappear in all the time because it’s so big and empty and hard to search).
Aliens it is, then!
There’s always Bigfoot.
No it really is a serious problem. I joke to not cry, for real.
I have to pass thru an area with 2 elder care homes and Apartments for handicapped. There’s a big caution sign to watch for “At Large Elderly or mobility carts”.
You know the picture of the deer jumping on Deer Crossing signs? This picture ain’t so clear.
I quite like the vision of autonomous mobility carts running wild through the wilderness.
Anyway, the size of the area isn’t what’s an issue, of course. It’s the type of terrain. How often has it happened that someone’s body has been found incredibly near to a house or other structure where they would have survived if they’d made it there?
Mulder’s Razor.
I’ll do you one better. A “geriatric pregnancy” is when the mother is 35 or older.
Even years later, it never ceases to amaze me that a news site, even if it’s just Men’s Journal, can write an entire article based on some idiot conspiracy theorist’s tweet because a sort of oldish person disappeared 450 miles away from another older person.
If it’s a firstborn: “elderly primigravida”
The truth general is out there!
Sigh, post about 10-11
Multiple news stories this morning are reporting that he left his cellphone and glasses in the house. In addition, his wallet and handgun are unaccounted for. Presumably he took those with him. 
“Who can kill a general in his bed….”
Now just here me out here…
Remember those documentaries with Tommy Lee Jones & Will Smith portraying agents with single letter names (Kay & Jay)? Just keep that in the back of your mind…
What better place for the aliens to monitor what we know about them than with the 2-star in charge of alien programs. However, they are having problems with another alien who’s gone rouge (no, that’s not a typo for rogue, & well, it’s actually a bit more orange than rouge). Clearly he was recalled back home for consultations, much like an ambassador might be. Any other explanation is just conspiracy by the government to throw us off the trail of the truth!!!
WAKE UP SHEEPLE!
@Spiderman, you crack me up.
Your thinking is nearly exactly as convoluted as my own.
Area 51 ain’t that far away.
