False Spotter Network Reports - May 26, 2009

[David Reimer]

Several Reports in the past few minutes in various locations across North Texas from a "Kyle Guthrie." The reports include various reports of hail and sizes, including in two locations where the radar is omitting false echos.

 

[Clarence Bennett]

Unbelievable...14 different reports thus far from this person. All in different parts of the state.

 

[Chris Wilburn]

He must drive really fast. Within one hour he has hail reports 5 counties apart. Storm chasing just keeps getting better and better.

 

[Brad Goddard]

Wow.... Guys really covering some ground tonight. Must be a great road network down there


Two reports 21 min apart and 115 mi away from each other. Thats somthing like 328 mph......

 

[Chris Wilburn]

Looks like two more reports just came in from Throckmorton Co . Only problem is this guy just went 4 counties west in just over 20 minutes!! I have to know the secret. This is we all have been waiting for guys! The secret to being two place at once lol

 

[Danny Neal]

A. He is listening to local Skywarn or TV channels for reports and reporting them
B. He is going off hail algorithms and making bogus reports
C. He is 12 years old, owns a teleporter, and is a mental midget.
D. All of the above

My vote: D

 

[Brad Goddard]

I think this might be his chase vehicle

The secret to being two place at once lol

I am sure Art Bell has done a show on just that topic....

 

[David Mikulec]

E. He's hell spawn and therefore can create his own weather at will.

 

[Dick McGowan]

It's almost as if Bobby Cookie has returned to north Texas....

 

[Ric Burney]

E. He's hell spawn and therefore can create his own weather at will.

Poor Will, he always catches such hail. (sorry, couldn't resist that)

 

[Tyler Allison]

He's been banned. Investigation has begun.

 

[Connor McCrorey]

Thanks Tyler. Good to see SN being well moderated.

This isn't the first time this has happened. What do you make of it?? And...is there any way that a guy like this can actually get caught? How can you prevent this from happening...or can you?
