I'm tuning in late here today.
First thing I thought of viewing the pictures was the mixing bowl scenario, then I scrolled down to see pictures of one...lol.
It's a common prank which I suggested (and others) to be the nature of the "Greek Goats" photo.

When saying "It was up in the air for 8 mins", ...how do you know?  Just based on the testimony of drunks?
The photos could all be independant shots of several "bowl tosses".

Looks to me like the guy in the foreground of a couple of the shots could be the "bowl tosser".

Also, the hood of the car being open being an indication that the car may have been broken down for a while and the occupants got bored?

Why a bowl in the car?  Maybe they brought food to the wedding and were bringing their bowls home?

This one looks a bit hoax-like to me.

I think you may have nailed it Synch.

And they just happened to have some means of securing them together before the olympic throwing contest and the rapid fire photography?  Hmm

At least he did more than you did.  Walking into the bar, farting and walking out again without buying a drink.

I still know people who keep this stuff even in their new cars. It would fit in with Synch's idea of a vehicle breakdown.

I hope you liked it, it was just for you. I was saving it for a special occasion.


See, I can be immature too.

indeed, I try to,as people know, be entirely fair & reasonable about these, but it doesn't look as if they'd literally just that moment got out of the car to be confronted by a strange & puzzling phenomenon. It does look as if they'd been there for some time, and maybe had got bored.

Your ingenuity never ceases to utterly amaze.  Well done again.

Zoser, I'm speculating.
In attempting to "prove" or at least find a slim indication that the ETH can even be considered, we must "speculate" on all possible explanations.  Unfortunately the ETH is a lame horse and ALWAYS comes in last in any race.
“extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence.”

They are driving an old car.  I have done this many times myself, when driving and "old beater" I always had a roll of ducktape and a pair of Vicegrips in the trunk.  You'd be amazed what you can fix with those tools.

Zoser, you are letting your enthusiasm to find the truth, bias your analysis of cases...again.

But I admire your tenacity.  Don't stop.
It may be you who will end up being the first to submit "Exhibit A".
TIP:  If you do find it, make sure you "moneytize" your Youtube account!

How did you know I enjoy doing that?...and I've done my research.
Proof of telepathy:
Two people in an elevator, one slips out the "silent but deadly" type.
Instantly and without any verbal communication, both individuals know who did it!

Wouldn't that be proof of nasal-epathy?

It's a theory.  It has to be.  Then again let's look at it a different way:

One of the pair has declined to discuss it completely the other only with some reluctance.   Neither appear to have an interest in the subject but instead seem ordinary very down to earth guys.

The investigator was impressed with his sincerity and felt that his lack of interest in the subject appeared to lend credence to the story.  The story that is told is that their car stalled and so did a Russian coach.  The guy's initial instinct was that someone was throwing two bowls in the air.  He confirms that there was no one around to actually do this.

If the bowls were in the car, what then?  The pair glue them together and decide to enact a hoax?  Possibly.  They throw the object into the air and happen to capture it with the tilt close to horizontal?  Well maybe they snapped a hundred shots and cherry picked these 5?  All possible I suppose.

The objects do not look close to me.  One looks quite a respectable distance.  I think that the hoax story lacks credibility.  

Remember I did say that this case would attract controversy; I don't own it.  I brought it to your attention.  That's all.

What annoys me is the way that certain people proceed; a total unwillingness to review the case that has with it a definite sense of arrogance.  No attempt at putting forward facts and reasons.  

A translation of the guys youtube testimony would be extremely useful.

It's been done a dozen or more times on this thread already.    The Kumburgaz case being in my view one of the best; even Boon could not debunk it.  

There are other cases too.

Since I "believe" in telepathy, I guess I am guilty of confirmation bias!

I don't mean a historical case, you can be sure they have been thrashed out already.
Post some video of ET at your family's Christmas dinner...that sort of thing.
