I suspect Gene and David have thought of this, but let me throw this out -- maybe organizing a more "conventional" convention of UFO speakers that Gene and David have in a sense "vetted" -- meaning that they aren't full of crap. An intelligent UFO conference with intelligent speakers? How can...

Okay -- let's think about this. There's a neat little page at the University of Arizona website called the "Earth Impact Effects Program." Assuming the assumptions these physicists set up here are correct (this is an assumption, I confess, because I am neither a physicist nor an engineer)...

You may want to give the work of Dr. Kenneth Ring a look, specifically The Omega Project: Near-Death Experiences, Ufo Encounters, and Mind at Large. It's not a new book, but speaks to the idea that these events are in part created by a different level of consciousness that some people are more...

Tommy -- Let me first qualify this in that I am no expert in this subject. My feelings about regression is that it's always a mistake. It seems to me there's the danger of confabulation, and in the case where there is some traumatic event involved, I strongly suspect that unearthing it...

Thanks, skunkape. Yeah, Mac would have enjoyed that. I'm not sure what he felt about the idea of an Afterlife, but I hope he is happy wherever he is, or at least at peace.

Damn you, Schuyler -- you beat me to it! And, yes, they're usually skinny and travel in pairs.

I've heard a lot of arguments about extraterrestrial's motives that are essentially anthropomorphizing them. "They think about us the same way we think about cattle," etc. Worse, we really don't understand the nature of this phenomenon, and the attribution of motive is usually built on the...

I recall Hackett saying something to the effect that he left Genesis because it had become a spiritual dead end. Don't know enough about him to really know how to take that statement, but at face value I agree completely.

Like the avatar, BTW.

Hey, I'm with you on that one. How much more obvious can this get?

Never caught Genesis live back then. As far as this curmudgeon is concerned, after Hackett left Genesis completely sold out. I did spend some time discovering YouTube clips of the band back then. I wonder what Gabriel thinks about that period now ... moments of magic, youthful exuberance, or...

Andrew -- I'm afraid I have to chime in with everyone else here. He's another parasite exploiting the UFO gullible ... of which there are too damned many. If it weren't for them, there wouldn't be people like Greer. Without the UFO "market," he'd have to become an out and out New Age...

AdamI -- Thanks for posting this. I've read George Dyson's book Project Orion. I agree there is something both awe-inspiring and faintly horrifying about the idea of putt-putting around the solar system driven by thousands of small atomic bombs, but I also agree with the sentiment expressed...

I'm with you. It took Edgar Mitchell some time to finally "come out," though I wonder what "Buzz" Aldrin is thinking of sometimes ... there was that comment he made on CNN about a "monolith" on one of Mars' moons, which faded into obscurity almost as soon as it was uttered.

I'm not so sure about that. It's probably obvious I wasn't a big fan of the show, but what I did see struck me as being written at a pretty clever level, and the humor leaned toward being more droll than "laugh at loud." I do think the core audience would consider the UFO subject to be crazy...

Schuyler -- First, let me say my comments were not meant as an attack. Not my style. Second, the intent here is clearly comedic, again because of the context. The cutting of his comments in the context of the argument between Frasier and the woman, the "bit" where Glenn is tracing the...

"Docudrama," my asteroid. Frasier was a sitcom. This is just the opposite of "disclosure." The subject has been used as fodder for comedy (read: ridicule) which is exactly the same thing that nearly all journalists have done to the subject since the 1960s, or maybe earlier. For anyone to...

I've been asserting for a couple of years now that a better strategy for trying to get any meaningful answers to the UFO problem is to bring the subject into the mainstream, rather than allowing it to wallow in it's own self-imposed "ghetto," the same ghetto the Ryans are feeding, and that Dolan...

Musical Interests PROG ROCK Where did THAT come from?! That's hysterical!

To All -- For what it's worth, portions of the old Center for Physical Trace Research site are still available through the "Internet Wayback Machine" at archive.org: http://web.archive.org/web/*/http://www.ufophysical.com There doesn't appear to be anything newer in their archive than...
