ET presence on the internet and NSA Here's a URL that should clear up the mystery: Wikimedia Error It's an old meme, as such things go. The original New Yorker cartoon (it's a dog sitting in front of a computer -- he explains "on the Internet, nobody knows you're a dog" to his mystified...

I think you hit the nail on the head. If the snake oil some sucker buys doesn't work (or simply poisons them), one can seek legal recourse. If the same sucker pays for Greer's "educational" garbage and the Saucer People don't show up when called, they're just SOL. It's a fine racket, and...

"UFO Magazine had a lawyer send me..." UFO Magazine IS a lawyer, or at least it's being run by one. I don't know which is scarier: Bill Birnes suing you, or Bill Birnes talking you to death.

I like some of the work Michael Cremo has done, but he also draws some conclusions that rub me the wrong way. In a couple of his Coast To Coast AM / Dreamland interviews, for example, Cremo veers too close to creationism / "intelligent design" for my taste. And I have very little patience for...

Aww, crap. That's a real bummer to hear that Nick Pope is hanging around with that crowd. It's annoying as hell when someone starts off as a level-headed, credible voice in UFO research and then runs off to hop the crazy train. And I have to agree with Noanswers: If I were going to put...

Sean David Morton would also be a fine sight, skewered on a spit while Don roasted him slowly over an open fire. But you know that none of these kooks would get caught doing an interview where the host wasn't a softball-pitching sycophant (cough...noory!....cough...)

I think it was back in 2001 that Greer organized his Disclosure Project event at the National Press Club. He managed to get a number of credible, eloquent witnesses to attend that event. He also lined up a lovely assortment of wingnuts. The juxtaposition of the two groups made them both look...

It's great to hear that Chris will be on the show. His two interviews with Greg Bishop over on Misterioso are outstanding, and the first one -- on a possible "blood ritual" aspect to the cattle mutilation phenomenon -- may be the best interview of its type anywhere. Chris, if you could revisit...

I think Birnes gets one chance to produce something really earth-shaking in the VERY near future; if he can't then he wins a trip to my "Greer File." And by definition, that's a one-way trip. At the very least, his handling of the CNN appearance showed a total lack of nuance. Instead of...

Let's not forget that Lazar does have *some* documentation supporting his story, even if it is far from complete. Once George Knapp found Lazar's W2 records from Los Alamos, along with a LANL phone book listing for Lazar, it was no longer possible to dismiss Lazar's background as completely...

Lear is a guilty pleasure for me. The crap he spouts is invariably entertaining, unless I consider the fact that quite a few people take him seriously. Then I wonder why the human race didn't dumb itself out of existence decades ago. BTW Lear, as I recall, did fly for Air America in the early...

I REALLY wanted to hear that O'Brien interview. In fact, I wanted to hear it so much that I downloaded the MP3s, fixed the clipping, and normalized the volume so that I could hear O'Brien talk (via phone) without getting blown out of my seat every time Greg Bishop said something. And even then...

Hey, I'm new here, but this seems as good a time as any to jump in. If the reason cited above is the whole story here, then I'm stumped. If Lear is a nutball with zero credibility (which he is, although it's still a hoot to listen to the guy hold forth) then why exactly would David give a rat's...

A search on "Chris O'Brien" turned up one vote for having him as a guest. So this makes mine the second vote. Greg Bishop's interview with him on Radio Misterioso back in 2005 was simply outstanding. O'Brien's take on cattle mutilations in the San Luis Valley -- that a very select group of...
