120 film. Ilford XP2. Agfa Isolette camera from the 50s. Manual everything. Focus is set on a dial. 12 exposures. I think the camera's focus was set at about 10 feet as it had been previously used for a group people shot. My daughter had been using the camera. The last three exposures were just...

I enjoyed UFO Hunters. It was obvious that the producers were trying to give it a "reality show" feel. At the beginning, the gang shows up at the secret hide-out and Birnes briefs them like Charlie with The Angels. But what the heck, I liked Survivor, too. This is just a subjective feeling...

Speaking as a person not only new to the forum but not particularly well exposed to the various personalities in the paranormal/UFO world, I wouldn't trust a sort of "in or out" list. You know, Fred is in, we like Fred, he's our friend; Barny's out, he's an idiot, we hate Barney. I want to know...

Thanks, Irish!

Maybe you smell good. ;)

But let's look at the the "shadow people" as phenomena independent of the observer. What sort of physical explanation can we come up with? Regular shadows require light to appear, and shadows sharpness or fuzziness depend on the lighting and the background onto which the shadow is projected...

From Wikipedia, Carl Jung's idea of the shadow: "In Jungian psychology, the shadow or "shadow aspect" is a part of the unconscious mind consisting of repressed weaknesses, shortcomings, and instincts. It is one of the three most recognizable archetypes, the others being the anima and animus and...

No, I'm not Jim Sparks. Jim A. Parks is my name, with the the "A" thrown in for disambiguation. I actually met a guy named Jim Sparks once. But I doubt it was the contactee/abductee/messenger guy. Interestingly, though, the first interview in the Paracast archives I listened to was the Sparks...

I'm getting back into film and I love old cameras. I've heard that film is making a comeback among younger people who have never used film in their life. Look at the Flickr groups for analog, film, Lomo, Holga, etc. I bought a 50s-era Agfa 120 folding camera, and my daughter's eyes lit up when...

No disrespect taken from any of you! I don't think, either, that it's anything other than a leaf or other bit of vegetation that happened to be blowing into the frame just as the shutter was snapped. It caught my attention because it is vaguely disc shaped and the angle of the object reminds me...

These photos are fascinating. I agree that the cylindrical objects look like dirigibles and fit in with the time they were taken. Others look too fuzzy to determine much. The ones posted here look like artistic renderings. The classic saturn-shaped objects are cool -- a lot like objects from...

Parent of two kids -- 16 and 18. We talk about a lot of strange experiences and they know I am an open-minded skeptic. They know I think the "idea" of paranormal, anomalous stuff is incredibly cool -- but that I am going to try to be critical and discerning about anything I hear about. We were...

Hey, how did my colonoscopy get on YouTube? :eek:

Attached is a section of the full scan, and below is a link to a larger image on flickr. JPcd521-R1-E011 on Flickr - Photo Sharing!

My daughter finished off a roll of 120 film by taking some random shots outside our apartment door -- we live on the second floor. We had had these photos scanned right after development and I was looking at the images when I saw this odd disc-shaped thing in the photograph. Blaown up, you can...

First time poster here. I thought this subject looked interesting. I see floaters, especially a weird snakey thing that people have told me is the back of your retinal nerve in you eyeball. You can never quite focus on it -- it moves just out of the center of your vision. When I was a around...
