Boy says he was on the Natoma and flew with Jack Larsen and says he was shotdown.

Was a Jack Larsen on the Natoma? Inquiring minds want to know.

I guess he was. http://www.natomabaycve62.org/NBCrewUpd ... s.html#JAL

The USS Natoma Bay (CVE-62) was an escort carrier in the Pacific. Google brings up a number of interesting links and photos. Aircraft were Wildcats and Avengers.

The obit of the gentleman the boy claimed to know:

The boy's family has written a book:

Interesting commentary that names the deceased pilot as James Huston. A photo has surfaced of him in front of a Corsair from a previous unit. Maybe one of the WIX experts can identify the model, unit, etc?

If you only look at one link, read this:

What does anyone else think?

I think that we should seek a determination from the FAA as to whether the boy is the reincarnated Natoma Bay pilot. They have at least as much expertise to do this as to determine whether today's Twilight Tear is the reincarnated 44-63864.

Seriously, this looks like a case of boy airplane buff with overactive imagination + internet access + attention-seeking parents = story on a slow news day.

I'd agree with that analysis, but would make exception for some sort of demon-possession or similar perhaps occult occurrences in the boy's life. I don't believe in re-incarnation.

All I read was the last link and all I have to say is WOW! That is amazing!

K5083 and/or Ryan's take on what the boy and his parents are saying could be right on the money. Or...it could be that the boy is recounting and reliving an experience that his soul went through in a different body at a different time.

Personally, for fun I did a couple of past life regressions, and what came out of them were scenes dealing with me flying in one, and me being in France in the other. Both have been very significant to me over the past 56 years. Do my regressions prove anything to me? No. But do they give me some things to think about that I hold lightly and enjoy speculating about every once in a while? Yes.

While I'm familiar, literally, with chapter and verse of the Christian take of what happens after we die, for me it raises about as many questions as it answers, so I am open to not judging the experiences of others.

Bottom line for me-if they are frauds, I would like very much for that to be determined. But if his memories are "proven" (however that could happen) to be real, then I would probably take a closer look at the relevance to reincarnation to my life.

perhaps TIGHAR could learn from this and start looking for Amelia's reincarnated soul...




you can call me skeptical

You are right to be skeptical. Reincarnation is a crock. The demon who possessed my cat last week told me so.

August

Maybe, but your unsupported opinion is also. People stating "I don't believe in reincarnation" are adding nothing to this specific topic, just chest-pounding. Proving or disproving claims is the only thing at hand. That is something I would like to see replies about.

Very interesting. It is no hoax either. The family just wants to find out what is going on. Very cool.
