He was very specific about the propulsion system of the vimanas, has anyone tried to replicate such a technology? I admit my knowlegde of physics is basic, but none of what he was saying was ringing any bells with that regard.

I've no first hand experience of it, but I notice Anomalist Books have just put out a book on the subject. I've not read it, but Hilary Evans' other work has been really good (his Apparations, Visions & Alien Visitors deserves to be more widely read). SLIders: The Enigma of Streetlight Interference

Fascinating case, that doc actually sprung to mind when I saw the thread title. Despite the girls being caught out hoaxing (probably more under the pressure to perform than anything), there is a residue of odd events that had mutliple witnesses. I remember I first read about this in"Great Ghosts...

Aye, i think that's right (though I've never seen Curse...). Never twigged til recently that Sam Raimi's Drag Me To Hell riffs on Night Of The Demon, especially the ending. That's another entertaining movie, in an EC kind of way.

I really like Cross Of Iron, it's my favourite Peckinpah movie. It works as a straight forward war movie but I like the class conflict aspect. The end's a bit abrupt, but apparently they ran out of money. Stalingrad's a great film. I loved Kelly's Heroes when I was a kid, and I'll still watch...

Night of the Demon is awesome, even though the effects are a bit creaky these days, it's got a really great creepy atmosphere to it. The 1980 film by the same name about a killer bigfoot is a hoot if you like badly acted gore films, it'll make you think twice about peeing in the woods. On a...

I grew up just outside Perth,which is 20 miles or so from Dundee and would get taken there on occasion as a kid when my mum wanted to going shopping in a bigger town. Was never massively fond of the place, though I've usually had a good time when I've visited as an adult. The West Highlands are...

Whereabouts in Scotland did you study? I grew up in a village on the banks of the Tay, it's all beautiful til you get to Dundee!

Think it could be your monitor, you can see a Gollum-like humanoid to the left of the screen about 50 seconds or so into it, it's fairly clear. The reveal makes me think of a horror movie trailer.

Looks a bit familiar but can't place where I've seen it before. Looks a bit like one of the creatures from the film "The Descent". Something about this says CGI, can't really put my finger on it- I've no expertise in the area other than having watched a ton of low budget horror movies...

I've had a quick look but I can't find a scanned copy of it online, anyone got a better idea of where to look? The second hand copies I've just seen online were a good bit more expensive than what I paid for it, Oxfam Online are selling it for £25- it's an enjoyable read but I wouldn't pay that...

There's a book called The Dark Gods by Anthony Roberts and Geoff Gilbertson, which mixes the ideas of HP Lovecraft with those of John Keel. It's out of print now (it came out in the early 1980s), but second hand copies aren't too hard to come by (I got a copy of ebay a few years ago reasonably...

Great, I'll look forward to it. I'll have to get round to getting some of his books.

Just finally listened to this, what a great show, went in too quickly- any word on when Phil will be back on? The odder aspects of the Hudson Valley wave reminded me of the tales attached to Clapham Wood in England- UFOs, cult activity, animal disappearances and mutilations, even a handful of...

I think even if there turned out to be nothing behind the UFO phenomena (at least in terms of aliens, structured craft etc), I think there's still useful and interesting stuff to be learned from it, for example if entity encounters are just some form of psychological experience, how and why that...

I'd agree with the others above- would like to hear more from Walter Bosely, particularly about what he's been told about the subterreanean civilization in the South West US. (Have read the books he said mentioned it, but they didn't go into a lot of detail).

The CTH does a neater job of explaining certain aspects of the UFO phenomena- like why the beings associated with it tend to be quite human like and their apparent genetic interest in us. ETs would unlikely to be genetically compatible with humans, even species as closely related as humans and...

Aye, it was Alternative 3. It didn't even really need debunked, it was openly a hoax, the original documentary ran credits for the actors. Not sure why this has stuck around, to be honest. I doubt the creators would have imagined it'd still be taken seriously over 30 years later! Wikimedia Error

The Cryptoterrestrial Hypothesis could be considered kind of mid-way between the nuts and bolts Extraterrestrial Hypothesis and Keel's idea of a Superspectrum or Vallee's notion of fractal beings. Keel did seem to weigh up the idea of a sister species in the likes of "Our Haunted Planet" but...

Mac mentioned in passing during one of his interviews (maybe his Binnall of America apperance?) that Nick Redfern had come across some declassified military documents relating to humanoids on an island in the Pacific spotted during World War 2. It's not mentioned in the book, but I'd be...
