You may have heard this already, but here's a link to an audio interview with him from the 1990s: http://www.radiomisterioso.com/2009/07/20/john-keel-interviewed-by-kenn-thomas/ I had read "The Mothman Prophecies" and discussions of his ideas but didn't have a strong opinion either way. After...

Kepler: Home Page Life as we know it requires a planet with liquid water. The Kepler Mission is basically looking for planets that orbit at the right distances from their stars for liquid water to exist (of course it will detect other types of planets too). The probe records data on the light...

I download the mp3 and listen on my computer's media player, so they're easy to skip over. Although as Ron Collins suggests, listening to them might be an experience in itself.

"...there is no paranormal in any way shape or form?" There are paranormal experiences which sometimes have profound effects on the experiencers. Even if the source(s) of those experiences turn out to be things that are already scientifically understood, the experiences remain. And if that much...

"Having worked in a classified communications center (just like the one in that movie Falcon and Snowman [1985] )" Did you really use your code shredder to make daiquiris?:cool:

"He believes EVERYTHING." No, that's David Hatcher Childress. Dolan merely believes more than he should. As for the whole national security thing in the U.S., conservatives here have been convinced for decades that everything they don't like, from losing in Vietnam to civil rights to the...

I'm a little hesitant to post on this since I've never experienced anything like it, or known anyone who has. But I'd say that Hotkafka's advice sounds good.

I prefer beer, but the principle is the same. Happy birthday!

I tend to agree with the philosopher William James on this. The quote below is from "The Varieties of Religious Experience" but I think it applies to some paranormal experiences as well: "There are moments of sentimental and mystical experience...that carry an enormous sense of inner authority...

There's a difference between studying the world and living in it. We use science and reason to study the world as an object, which hopefully enables us to live better lives. But we really can't live in the world as human beings with just science and reason. If we could the perfect human would be...

As I've said on another thread, I did see something that I thought for a while was a UFO, although I was finally able to identify it. It was unsettling. So even though it wasn't nearly as intense as (say) ArchieBedford's experience, I do agree that something like that gives you a better...

I'm sure he's had a lot of adventures. It might be worth having him back just to hear about those.

Gotta agree with everything posted here. Nice guy, fun to listen to, never met a speculation he didn't like.

Many years ago I was employed in a U. S. government job that required me to be examined by a public health physician (rather than a private doctor). He told me that he often saw people in their 20s (like I was) and could guess based on their lifestyles and habits the health problems they would...

To Angel of Ioren, I don't know much about the Belgian case and have no opinion on it. And I think it's highly unlikely that aliens are invading our bedrooms. I did listen to the audio link on skepticism. My post was more about that, in that I think some skeptics are disingenuous on what their...

Well, I've had a few sleep paralysis episodes, but I never saw any aliens. How do we know that aliens (if any) can't induce sleep paralysis in the people they're visiting? On a more serious note, I'd be offended if someone told me I shouldn't be overwhelmed by a sunset because it's just light...

I've heard Shostak many times on the SETI Institute's podcast, and he's worth listening to on scientific subjects. But when he's discussing anything remotely paranormal he comes across with a what-are-those-silly-people-saying-now attitude that's kind of offensive, even if you happen in general...

I can say from personal experience that seeing a UFO is very unsettling, even when you ultimately figure out what it is. About 35 years ago I was riding in a car when I saw something strange in the night sky. It looked like a rippling bar of light, and moved slowly around, first in one...

It's often been pointed out that if something paranormal really wanted to manifest, it could do so much more blatantly than it ever actually does. "Super Bowl delayed by UFO! Global economic summit interrupted by poltergeist!" Since this never seems to happen (Fatima is a possible exception) it...
