Am I missing all the talk on the latest episode or is this thread it? Usually by Thursday night even one of the less interesting episodes has got more talk than this. I have the Oct 18th episode but have been so busy with school I haven't listened. Now, I'm wondering if I should even make the...

I agree, I think he'd be a great guest too.

Wow, I think he should be the new poster child for "space brothers". The Paracast would obliterate such childlike thinking. He should never be on this show, even if it turns out there really are strange objects above the ranch. The host of that program used to have a show on PBS called...

A few lights on a black screen immediately called "ships", yikes!. And the testimonials don't really count in my book as they're surely hand picked by Gilliland for posting. That being said, I would really love for this to be true. Majestic mountains, forests and UFOs in the sky...what could be...

It seriously looks like someone wrote a short article on India finding water on the moon and someone else came in and literally pasted that extraterrestrial paragraph into it. If the article appeared as intended then that's one shabby piece of journalism!

I listened to this whole episode while working on the computer even though it really was not that interesting or on topic. I think that says a lot for the Paracast. David's a good interviewer even while off on tangents. Of course, it didn't hurt that Hopkins is also a good interviewee. I would...

I agree that the Thera (Santorini) explanation sounds like the likeliest culprit. It's a popular current theory sure, but it's also the simplest explanation. ...and the Minoans were cool.

It looks like a kind of like a strange fish that was in a video a year or two ago. I can't remember what it's called but pretty sure the video is linked somewhere here in the Paracast forums. The only difference is that this current specimen looks like it has been flayed or had its skin eaten...

Oh, ok, sorry, yeah in terms of waking up at that time then TCM would have explanations, absolutely. Did Offutt say in the episode whether the shadow people woke the subjects up or whether they had already woken up when they saw them? I can't remember. That would be interesting to know.

I'd be interested to know where you heard that, because 3am-5am should correspond with the Lung meridian, and Liver would be 1-3am. I'm not aware of anything in TCM that would explain seeing a supernatural being at that time of night (or any other time)...though somebody somewhere might have a...

I liked the episode and I'm interested in the subject matter. I haven't read the book but I tend to think it might be a little harder to create a taxonomy for purported supernatural beings than it appears. But it's still fun. "Shadow people" and "Hat man" have been around the internet all this...

It's not a federal agency as such, but with its board appointed by US Presidents it's hardly as independent and above politics as some would like to assert.

I was surprised to hear her on the Paracast. I think she's had TV ads for years (at least where I live). I hadn't heard good or bad about her until you just mentioned it. And it's on the first page of Google results..a press release from NYC Dept of Consumer Affairs. My favorite TV attorney is...

To me it just looks like something fibrous caught on the end of something long. What about a piece of lint snagged on some hair that was right in the front of the camera when the flash went off? How long is your hair by the way?

Your eyes can be perfectly fine and still see floaters/flashes. And they can appear as small orbs (I thought I was actually seeing ATOMS when I was a little kid! Ha!) or as squiggly strands or other shapes. They can appear dark or bright white depending on complicated retinal stuff I don't...

Just a little trivia..."semite" or "semitic" means "Jewish" in about every context except linguistics. Semitic languages form a specific group of related languages which includes Hebrew, Arabic, Akkadian/Assyrian/Babylonian, Aramaic, and others.

Paranormal and New Age-types have slapped quantum physics around, got it drunk and made it their bitch. So I think tons of caution is in order when discussing the paranormal and the quantum. I'm not qualified to disagree or agree with you on most of this, but I think Drew's statement about...

Yes exactly, that and a hive mind is what I got out of it too. On the political side of things, 1 million dumb aliens notwithstanding, I think the humans would've imposed a command structure on the aliens if they didn't already have one. They would've at least made them get a spokesman. I liked...

The people I'm talking about like to pull the dogmatic portions out and retool them. It's fine to agree that we need to love our fellow man, but it's another thing to lift out the "you shall have dominion..." part and reinterpret it. If you don't believe in a god, then leave that god's words...

I am open to a lot of what he says, but this is standard New Age stuff both in podcasts and the "metaphysical" section of the bookstore...btw I think his folk etymology of that word was cute, but incorrect. I guess I'm already so saturated with this stuff that it can't impact me like it does...
