    Was Bill Moore A CIA Agent?

    Oh noes! If MJ-12 is all fake then "Falcon" and "Condor" were lying to us!!! And that means...(gulp)...my plans to become rich after the Invasion by selling strawberry ice ceam and MP3s of Tibetan music to our Alien Overlords are all for nothing. Bugger.

    Allergy Season.

    Might that relate to having things forcefully shoved up their noses? Do we have any info on Sims' credibility by the way? (he strikes me as a bit of a self-aggrandising prat, but that doesn't necessarily exclude him from having done some useful work. So it's an honest question)

    Just to be consistent with my commitment to inconsistency and self-contradiction: If you assume a good supply of Earth-like planets (which seems now reasonable) in decent orbits, and that a reasonable proportion of those have plate tectonics, good magnetic fields and don't wobble too much...

    The Tommyknockers

    It creeped me out...but hey, it's a Stephen King book :) It is of course much darker than the miniseries. Potential spoiler: The idea of an alien species with a purely emergent intelligence is interesting and has been used in a few science fiction stories (well, at least one I can think of)...

    There should be a lot of different ways to arrive at a similar result - even among creatures related to us, the octopus eye as you know is a good example of how structures can be evolved which owing to their common purpose have a striking superficial resemblance, but where the actual...

    Allergy Season.

    I know how you feel. I spend a good part of the year with "Oh God My Eye Sockets Are Going To Explode" Syndrome (every body else calls it hay fever, but I don't think that accurately conveys the misery of it). I'm also especially allergic to roses (which prompted the um, er, attempted arson...

    For the first time in my life I envy mashed potato. <hastily changes subject to avert a slapping>

    Was Bill Moore A CIA Agent?

    Greg, I have to defer to your direct knowledge and I don't buy the agent thing, but didn't he make his own bed to some extent? He admitted 20 years ago to cooperating with Richie The Clown Doty in feeding alarming nonsense to Paul Bennewitz, with arguably tragic results. While that doesn't in...

    The really funny thing is that when they try to do an Australian accent, they do Cockney instead. On a particularly bad day, the Dick Van Dyke version from Mary Poppins.

    Was Bill Moore A CIA Agent?

    I think we should distinguish between "agent" and "willing tool". Some people are seduced by the promise of access to inside information, and will agree to do favours for their sources in return (despite the fact that what they get in return is typically worthless). It's amazing what people...

    Stephen Hawking hospitalized

    Illness must be thoroughly miserable when you're trapped in your body as he is: I hope he's well soon.

    I agree with much of that, but hybridisation with a truly alien species still makes absolutely no sense: forget all the Star Trek Happy Families With Aliens stuff: as I've said before, you have more in common genetically with a mushroom than with an alien, and a Hell of a lot more in common with...

    They might also lie for laughs, because it's fun watching the locals drive themselves nuts (and even more fun watching them form themselves into cults and pretending to be on a first-name basis and so on). I don't buy the assumption many people seem to make that everything whoever-they-are do is...

    Moulten Howe at it again - a new drone report + photo

    I don't think she cares whether things are hoaxes or not: she just makes her living off other people's bullshit (so you could argue that she doesn't even have the creativity of a hoaxer). I'm not that impressed by the fact that she can produce witnesses: ignorance+the power of suggestion can...

    The apparitions-and-UFOs-as-time-travel bit was thought provoking. I quite like the idea that the key to the UFO mystery, the Big Message, might be people from the future trying to reassure us: "See, one day you will get your flying car". On a somewhat serious note: Abductions if real imply...

    The Likelihood of a FAKE "UFO/Alien" attack?

    That all makes perfect sense if you're a paranoid lunatic. And as for the "millions of aware and armed Americans" - these would be the ones who fall into the important "Completely Fucked In The Head" demographic. No doubt a sizable proportion of them call themselves Christians, forgetting the...
