Excellent question, and no.

With the passage of time, one can always construct enough counter-arguments to smartly 86 any credible sighting. This certainly does not mean we shouldn't look at reports critically, but we do need to recognize that you can make any witness or group of witnesses look less than reliable after...

Either this was a: (i) unique manmade craft being monitored by a special military-like force in 1966, before we ostensibly landed a man on the Moon, or (ii) a non-manmade object detected earlier in the day that was being monitored/followed by the troops in question, giving the false impression...

Blowfish, good suggestion. These are the type of cases worth exploring, in contrast to Roswell and others which have been beaten to a pulp. A couple of the eyewitnesses could also be persuaded to join, I suspect.

Individual experiencers certainly can be credible where common sense tells you that they are probably not lying or are not misinterpreting common events. So, for example, the local school principal who previously was a physics teacher, who happens to see a landed disc at the same time that...

AdventureMan, thanks for the note. I am an armchair researcher and have never been in the field. However, I would use common sense to determine who is a bona fide, credible witness -- an elderly couple who see something on the way home from an evening community event over a ten minute time...

Wickerman, I couldn't agree more. Imbrogno is a credible, frontline researcher who effectively communicates the substance of some of his more interesting cases, all the while letting data drive theory. Shows on the state of UFOlogy or the various personalities involved get old after a while...

Cliff and his side kick send out "web bots" to assess trends in language on the internet. It evidently is akin to the random number generating eggs that PEAR used to deploy to assess changes in human consciousness prior to major events. Indeed, oftentimes they are wrong, but I'll be damned...

I think The Paracast needs to get back to the basics which capture the listener's attention: (i) interviews of bona fide frontline experiencers or investigators who can relay what they have witnessed or uncovered in their meticulous ground work (e.g., Ted Phillips, Phil Imbrogno); (ii)...

Can anyone estimate, even anecdotally, what ratio of close or medium distance bona fide UFO sightings have "high strangeness" of some sort associated with them? Is this a frequent, or infrequent, occurrence? On a separate note, here is a view on UFOs from Tom Campbell, one of the founders of...

Sheehan didn't address that, but it sounds as if the assassination teams moved into damage control mode at that point rather than getting organized to go back after Castro. There may have also been hopes that LBJ would take appropriate action against Cuba at some point, only to get swallowed by...

Oswald may have not been the brightest light bulb, but he certainly was smart enough to realize, at that point in time, what in fact was playing out around him and his true role in it ("I am a patsy"). I believe he therefore was more guarded as to what he said (he could be gotten to, even in...

There is a very interesting 90 minute presentation by Daniel Sheehan that you can pull of off Vuze or one of those other file sharing program entitled "Daniel Sheehan: Conspiracy Theories and the UFO Phenomenon." (sorry, I don't know how to attach it to this post). While I recognize Sheehan has...

Although China is investing a substantial amount to grow its military, it is not known to have one of the more technologically advanced forces -- indeed far from it. I would be skeptical if someone claimed that a 'non-traditional' airplane is merely an experimental craft.

Not knowing the full story behind this particular piece of legislation, it sounds as if the Republicans are objecting because its funding is not being properly provided, as opposed to taking issue with its underlying goals. There are plenty of circumstances where, on the surface, a piece of...

We will just need to agree to disagree. Given the multitude of eyewitness sightings, including people like Kelly Johnson and his aeronautical engineering team, as well as the credible photographic and film evidence which people like myself feel does indeed exist, I don't see how we will ever...

It is these types of accounts that have me somewhat baffled when people say there is "no proof" that UFOs may be a reality. Yes, it could have been one of ours, but equally there is no proof either that we have this level of technology and indeed, why test-run it over Westchester County for a...

Hmmm, odd. Assuming more mundane explanations can be ruled out, I'd be curious whether any mutilation phenomenon occurred in the vicinity, or whether any residential houses are present (the text appears to indicate no to the latter).

UFO Junky, quit playing games. You obviously don't need to convince anyone on this Forum that the Meier material is bogus. Having ostensibly been a member of the Forum for several years, and having posted on the Meier topic previously, you should be well aware of that. And, if you happen to...
