Does the presence of insects in ancient amber, dating to the time of the dinosaur extinction, serve as a "smoking gun" for the death of the dinosaurs resulting from disease-carrying insects?

Review: Beyond The Edge Radio 1-04-07
This was a pretty great show, with Jeff Wamsley of Point Pleasant, West Virginia, a researcher into local hometown monster the Mothman, who discussed the phenomenon in his hometown, as well as his impressions on it and local eyewitness reports. He also discussed the Silver Bridge collapse of December 15, 1967, which killed 46 people, as well as the film based on the John Keel novel, The Mothman Prophecies. I called in and asked a great question, as did Don Keating and Brian Seech, as well as at least two more callers. It was a great show, full of great information. I enjoyed it. The next program will have somebody who has not been announced yet, but it should be fascinating. That airs next Friday at 9:00 EST/8:00 Central at the link to the right. As always, we encourage you to please tune in and support great research.
