Whatever her ultimate motives were for writing the article, Hopkins' ex-wife did work with him on his research and (unless she's flat-out lying) provides very damning information about it. I don't agree at all that this is just "dirty laundry". For that she could have talked about things that...

Re fighters and air shows, I actually had the opposite experience where a plane was suddenly over the crowd and we all jumped because none of us had heard it coming. It made me realize how vulnerable people on the ground are to air attack. All the military history stuff about needing control of...

Re noise from jet fighters; yes, they make noise, but of course it fades out as they move away. Depending on the weather the lights may still be visible after the noise fades out. One thing though is that usually it's a fairly dim red light; the lights on the Phoenix UFO look brighter than most...

I live near an AF base also, and I have seen jet fighters at night with only a single light. "Her hair looks like a Golden Retriever's ears!" Irrespective of the truth about the Phoenix Lights, that'll be my quote of the week.

Agree, CapnG. Unless every paranormal experience report is a hoax, strange things happen to people that have no obvious explanation. And very often these people get little help in making sense of them, either from the medical/scientific establishment or anyone else. It's certainly possible that...

These might be the interviews (no promises -- I haven't tried listening to them yet!): Program Information - Radio Misterioso: Bill Moore: UFOS, MJ-12, and Paul Bennewitz|A-Infos Radio Project

"Im surprised Bernie Maddoff went to prison" A lot of the people he scammed were rich. Plus he's being made a scapegoat for the (often technically legal) crimes of Wall Street generally.

Feel free to move this if it's more appropriate somewhere else. I couldn't find a similar thread. Very interesting interview on Mysterious Universe (episode 425) with the authors of a new book, "Paranormal America". Episode 425 Mysterious Universe | Mysterious Universe Apparently (I haven't...

Agree. If we somehow duplicated a brain, the new brain would have its own consciousness. It might THINK its mind had been transferred from the original though because it would have the same memories.

Just got through listening to the always entertaining Jim Moseley. Have to agree that the format was a little awkward for his somewhat leisurely style. I doubt that his pranks did any serious harm. Adamski at least seems to have realized what was up and apparently made the most of it.

It's like Condoleezza Rice having an oil tanker named after her -- makes certain connections just a little too obvious, you know?

"The Anomalist" is good for keeping track of paranormal news stories: THE ANOMALIST: World News on UFOs, Bigfoot, the Paranormal, and Other Mysteries at the Edge of Science Just glancing over it, there's a story about a "UFO abduction" (actually a missing-time case) that took place here in...

Good commentary here on the arsenic life discovery (and the hype around it): http://www.centauri-dreams.org/?p=15573

It's scientifically interesting, but it won't rock my everyday world. Here's a link: Arsenic-eating microbe may redefine chemistry of life : Nature News Edit: As far as alien life, the best place to start looking is right here on Earth. Some scientists speculate that life could have originated...

"So, I would steal if I determined the person could spare it." My example was if the situation was so dire that the alternative to theft was the death of a child, and if the theft would not result in the death (by starvation) of the person I stole the food from. Obviously this is not saying...

Trajanus: "For the most part, they just copied, from Germans, Americans and others. The AK-47 and RPG, for example, were based on german models." Did you actually look at the link, which shows examples of a lot of originality by Soviet scientists?

You're using one word ("law") to describe several different things. The "Law of Gravity" really has nothing in common with whether it's ever OK to lie or steal. Off the top of my head, gravity exists throughout the universe (not just Earth) and can be described by the same mathematics...

He's said that because of the vagaries of publishing, works that he submitted at different times may come out close together. The article makes it sound like the opinions in the book are Redfern's. My understanding of Redfern is that he's mainly a journalist rather than an advocate for a...

"For the most part, the soviets copied our stuff." They did a lot of original work, especially in military/space-related fields. See this, for instance: http://www.mentallandscape.com/V_Venus.htm

I finally signed up for Facebook. My son, sister, and one of my brothers are on it, so I guess I'll have some use for it. They're all far away and I only see them once every couple of years.
