Reporters at Comic Book.com seem to be very satisfied with their ‘scoops.’ A few months ago, one of them wrote, “we already confirmed that UFOs exist.” Even if with “we” they are referring to mankind rather than their own publication, this claim is misleading to say the least. Over the last few years, the term UFO has become so synonymous with alien life that most people have forgotten what the acronym stands for – “Unidentified Flying Object.” When the Pentagon announced they saw a UFO earlier this year, they meant just that.
Now, the same reporters bring us even more exciting, unbelievable news: between now and 2025, their latest headline boldly exclaims, Dinosaurs could become living, breathing inhabitants of the world once again, much like a certain Hollywood classic led us to believe. Is this title as misleading as their story on that UFO? Let’s verify some sources.
According to the reporter, dinos may be resurrected soon because Jack Horner – better known as the researcher who formed the inspiration for the character of Jurassic Park founder and director Dr. Alan Grant – revealed to a panel that he had been trying to extract DNA from fossils and mash them together with the only dinosaurs still around on the planet today: birds.
The thing is, this panel was held over five years ago. So, why Comic Book thinks that Horner’s research constitutes as newsworthy is unclear. It would certainly deserve a spot on the front page if these studies had, over the course of the past years, produced significant results. However, as Horner states himself, they have not.
“I have tried many times to extract DNA from a dinosaur and we’ve always failed,” he said. “We think it’s because the DNA molecule is huge and it’s not very stable. It just comes apart too easily.”
So, it seams that Jurassic Park is still a long way off from being built.
