Sure, happy to participate.

I have seen a few comments on this thread about NARCAP and anti-ufology and I would like to take a moment to clarify. Those of us that are adhering to scientific standards in our research can not confidently determine if a UAP is an extraterrestrial spacecraft. Most of the time it isn't detected...

Sure ufology, I appreciate promotion in general. The main point is to maintain some sense of sanity. Our work is used to promote nonsense and personal beliefs that have nothing to do with our opinions or our efforts and, in many cases, are detrimental to them. Various New Age believers...

Hi Chris, I suppose I am a little cynical in this regard, I am directly faced with this problem of funding and the lack of enthusiasm when it comes to supporting research efforts like ours. Most of us doing this sort of work are operating on our own funds. I have thought about making our group...

@Decker, Here is more info regarding Sallas difficulties in mainstream academia: From 1996 to 2004, he was an Assistant Professor/Researcher in Residence at the School of International Service at American University.[4][5] In 2003 he founded American University's Peace Ambassador Program...

Tyder, If we don't police our own we are complicit in their failings. It is a simple matter to investigate the credibility of various people. There are not that many "scientists" in this study. Most are laypeople with various levels of academic and intellectual strength that take on different...

That is a good question that everyone should be asking themselves often.... UFOlogy seems so very different than simply researching an answer to a difficult question. Its unresolved nature calls for a hardy soul if you are going to wade in. I knew, long ago, that I wouldn't get what I was...

@Ryan, No worries, we can talk about this. I know only so much about this. As for RU going after Leslie, good luck with that. If they come off with something untoward I will speak in support of her. Fact is that there isn't a lot to denigrate her about. She has written some good articles and...

Hi Decker, If you check his Wikipedia page you will see :Salla's most recent academic position was in Washington at American University, Center for Global Peace. The Center did not sanction his ufological research, and emphasizes that it is personal.[1] Controversy eventually led to Salla's...

Thanx, Aniximander, This is a serious situation and treating it like an infomercial and acting like a dedicated researcher while fleecing everyone within reach is beyond contemptible. Personally, there are a lot better subjects that I could be spending my time on but if we who are trying to...

It took awhile for me to figure out how to use my bs detector to its fullest capability. I came to UFOlogy looking for answers to experiences that were quite uncomfortable and all I found was nonsense. When I realized that and got critical it became as important to confront the lunatics and the...

There is a big difference between "temporarily accept all input" and actively promoting stories that are so obviously false. The fact that Salla will ride this into the ground and claim that his effort was thwarted by the intelligence community when it was only Dr. Vallee, Reality Uncovered and...

Regarding the Hole in the Moon.... its the cave of the Moon Bats....It isn't really there, NASA just wants you to THINK its there to divert your attention from what is REALLY there that they don't want you to know about. Get it? Remember the Maine?!? I am the Keeper of the Cheese and you are...

@Michael Allen With respect to Michael Salla and naivete.... one might suggest that its naive to promote an unvalidated story with secret "anonymous" witnesses that were not properly vetted. That is, of course, assuming that Mr. Salla wasn't actually part of the original fraud to begin with. A...

If you think Salla's attack on rational thinking was interesting, check out his "get out of jail" claim to save his hide on the Secret UN Meeting Source A in this blog entry at: Michael Salla: Military UFO Whistleblower Could Face Jail The 2012 Scenario This is Salla's story about Source A...

for a quick briefing on the LHC.....

Well, you might find it dubious but it can happen because it has happened. The most common illusion that pilots encounter at night is in sparsely populated areas where lights on the ground appear as an extension of the stars in the skies such that the horizon is no longer visible. In that state...

I think the presumption that better eyesight equals a better witness isn't quite accurate. Pilots are subject to illusions and delusions. Example, on an aircraft there are running lights. Green on the right, Red on the left.... At night pilots with perfect eyesight have flown their aircraft...

Hi Ron, Yes, you have correctly identified a difference in positions between Dr. Haines and myself. I feel that pilots are acceptable witnesses and that we can trust them to tell us what they are seeing but I don't feel that they are a better witness. Dr. Haines and co feel that they are better...

Hi Ron, Regarding your questions: 1. In my analysis of 120 cases involving UAP and aviation safety issues, the percentage was nearly equal with a third being military, a third civilian and a third commercial. A larger data set might show something different, of course. Its really simply about...
