Considering the magician may not exist, is not taking interviews, and is a pathological illusion creator... Yeah, study away.

Thinking about how this anamolous event has changed Jim's perception on life -i have to wonder if that's not the effect that's intended with such interventions -avoiding all interpretations about the validity of the event and from whence it sprang. Look at the circularity of the process, the...

Sincere thanks for posting this. However, I'm not even sure how to respond to Penniston's approach here. It appears he is assuming he has refuted the sceptics simply by leveraging a time travel explanation over a UFO encounter explanation. Additionally, his writing appears to be dotted with...

Cool as the deep blue sea. Came off a little cranky there, didn't I -apologies.

Yeah Angel, I've heard that story and I do appreciate you sharing the key to your awakening - however, I just want to be clear. I did not share this story to make myself available for a game of debunker whack-a-mole. I was sharing to share.

David, thanks for offering your experiences so candidly. I may be off in my calculation, but it appears that you come off as genuine and are careful to avoid self-censorship. Just as a sidenote here: I usually avoid offering too much of my personal experiences, mostly due to my paranoia about...

Yeah, people seem to be using technology more and more as non-assertive power display. Distraction is a great cover. I might have asked if her if she felt she needed any help with her phone call.

Reference to Kafka the writer and Kaffka the psychologist - 'Hot" just taking some poetic license.

I've had an lingering interest in dreams which began in my childhood and has persisted in my professional life. To make a very long story short - it seems the connections between religious and shamanistic narratives built around subtle realms and psychoanalytic dream theory which supports...

The topic is you, Pixel.

Forget religion, people seem to do a pretty good job of killing for wrist watches, dope and insurance settlements.

I would have to agree. I think essentially it's founded in key attachement issues: we need to address those who are there willing to support and acknowlege us in our efforts to stave of feelings of helplessness and meaningless.

Another thing to consider in the perceived discrepency of race in abductee reports: access to networks related to this fringe research community. In multicultural research, there is a notion known as Cultural Currency - which bascially translates to the benefits associated with a majority race...

I'm bored with all the bowling in this thread. Besides, the pins are wobbly and too easy to knock down.

Often the data (in any research) reflects the biases of those assembling the protocols to collect the data. It's easy to look at the data for abduction and draw what seems to be a commonsensical conclusion that abductees tend to be white folk whom fall in the middle to high SES range. However...

Yes, The Thing stands alone in the horror/alien genre -none better. (Sigh...) Close Encounters is probably the best in my mind to hit mainstream cinema -and yes, I agree a somewhat predicatable response. Dark City, albeit a slightly fantastical spin on the ET theme (being neo noir) is a truly...

Looks like a joke conceived by NSA geeks to attract attention in the future.

Looks like somebody shooting into the sun -perhaps an overlay of a curiously iconic and lifeless looking Virgin Mary thrown in for good measure.

I'd suggest the paranoia that exists around the public's lack of control represents a good portion of the mythos developed around these narratives.

As a Psychotherapist and Marriage and Family Therapist, this undoubtedly takes the cake as the single most disturbing thread I've come across.
