Finally finishing this episode, and as I listen, I keep saying, "Read Albert Budden's work." His books are super cheap on Amazon, and a couple of them -- UFOs Psychic Close Encounters and Electric UFOs -- present research and a hypothesis that could serve as a type of bridge between the two...

The thing about Ms. Clarke is that she is more a folklorist than a "scientific researcher" (whatever that means in ufoology), so badgering her for evidence or grilling her about other studies related to the stories she collects is a futile endeavor, because that's not really the point of her...

The reel is excellent! And I love the Calexico!

Personally, I am a follower of the Melville path when it comes to predicting events, so.... Assassinations Foretold in Moby Dick

Mr. Carrion, could you please talk about your investigation into the Skinwalker Ranch and how much (if any) influence your conclusions from that investigation influenced The Rosetta Deception?

Thank you for your reply, Mr. Skinner. I apologize for not having read your book before hearing your interview, but I purchased it and will dive in very soon. Thanks, again.

Mr. Skinner, what is your take on former MUFON Director James Carrion's experiences when attempting to investigate the Skinwalker Ranch case? For reference, here is an excerpt from his blogpost regarding the matter: "[After being denied access to the ranch itself], we spent our time...

If Mr. Stanford is not going to post his photos with newfound objects in the sky at Socorro, could he, at least, give me some guidance on repairing my Hilarion Accelerator so I can go back to that day and see them for myself?

"The core UFO phenomenon is alien visitation, plain and simple. It's as proven as it needs to be." When I read or hear such a definitive statement from someone, it's fascinating to me and I like to try and understand the thought process that led to that person's conclusion. So, if you don't...

To me, real skepticism is never used to "beat others over the head and embarrass". I've always considered that to be debunking. In my mind, true skepticism is the most desirable mental framework, because it is a flexible approach that allows me to look at the elements of a subject and consider...

On the flip side, I would like to hear a show with someone who was once a believer, but who is now a skeptic. In my opinion, this sort of interview would be more informative and not just simply confirm a belief system. It could offer a chance to take a real look at the "field", and its...

I agree about Mr. Harzan's answer about Mr. Bigelow's involvement with MUFON, dr.abbadon. It seems as though Mr. Harzan has either learned a lesson from what happened to James Carrion when he questioned the billionaire's relationship with MUFON, or Mr. Harzan actually believes what he is saying...

Mr. Harzan's answer to the question about making MUFON more democratic was striking. Basically, you just have to work your way up through the organization for twenty years until you have the opportunity to become the MUFON figure head...? I suppose that is one way to do it. Also, I agree with...

If Capt. Courant does indeed appear on The Paracast, hopefully, he won't get off the hook by saying, "There are certain things I have been privy to, but I can't get into that here." This is a tired song and dance in this field that needs to be ridiculed out of existence. Sure, there may have...

It is sad and it's a never ending feedback loop in this field. While the lack of true progression in ufology is often attributed to any number of factors (the central of which is usually money), to me, this unfortunate cycle undermines the field most significantly. Seeing someone like Ms. Howe...
