    UFO Hunters

    David -- We feel your pain, and we're here to help you. What can we do?

    UFO Hunters

    There it is. I was looking for how to say this. What I've watched is pretty obviously staged, where the dialog is used as exposition to move the "story" of the episode along. In this kind of show it's not surprising there would be some of this, but here it's done just too awkwardly (in my...

    Wanted to make sure...

    You're probably way ahead of me on this, but I suspect you'll probably need to enable some kind of spam filter soon, unless there's something in the background I don't see. I kind of like what UFOMystic has done, where you have to register to comment. If you have that kind of utility...

    Attack or Ignore??

    I'm tending to agree with Jeff. Say your peace and get on with it because we as individuals have better things to do than sustain an ongoing battle. I think saying your peace at least gets it off your chest, and if nothing else has therapeutic value. I'd like to chime in about the...

    WTF Are We Talking About?

    Will told me he felt his humor was misunderstood, and he felt like he needed to stop spending his time on UFO boards, so he asked to be locked out. This was apparently the best way to do it. Entirely voluntary. That's one way to stay away, huh? (They do kind of eat up time, don't they?)

    My Problem With Debunkers

    Derek -- I don't have an issue with approaching this range of subjects with skepticism. I've been attacked for not buying into a specific interpretation of the UFO subject (in the instance I'm thinking of, I was suddenly part of "the conspiracy") so I can empathize with your statement that...

    My Problem With Debunkers

    To All -- Coming back to topic, it seems to me the debunkers I've seen "at work," are coming at whatever the subject under discussion happens to be without even the pretense of scientific integrity. It's always an issue of "what it can't be," as opposed to "what is this really?" which would...

    My Problem With Debunkers

    Poi -- Thanks for that. I know from someone (who I thought was sincere, anyway) who actually participated in the late 1960s in Army field trials testing a hand-held laser weapon powered by a backpack unit that could etch steel around 100 yards away. No telling what level this technology...

    3 books - a hypothetical

    Dave -- I think you're right on the money there. Personally, if we could go to five books, I'd want to include The Omega Project: Near-Death Experiences, UFO Encounters, and Mind at Large by Dr. Kenneth Ring. Otherwise, in my opinion, the four you mention are the best of the best...

    UFO Hunters

    I was wondering this myself. Then I remembered Lost in Space.

    My Problem With Debunkers

    Well, I see we're straying from the topic pretty seriously here, so out of sheer embarrassment I'm going to take a little break. Good to see you back / not back.

    My Problem With Debunkers

    You villain ... you ... actually, I think most of what Benjamin read is still available on my website, though I archived about 75% of my content recently. I was just noticing that you were staying away from the UFO subject. If you were here, I'd welcome you back.

    My Problem With Debunkers

    I know someone here in Vegas who witnessed one of these huge triangles cruising silently over the UNLV campus at about 9:00 PM after she had gotten out of a class a few years ago. Pretty brazen aliens, huh? A while back it was suggested to me that this is some form of new projection...

    Arthur C. Clarke passes away

    TClaeys -- You know, even though it isn't entirely by him (there was input back from and through Kubrick that steered it along), I think 2001: a Space Odyssey captures the best of all his facets. If you've seen the movie, I'd recommend taking the book in as its own experience. They aren't...

    Arthur C. Clarke passes away

    Yes. I had to write something for him on my blog. Arthur C. Clarke, 1917 - 2008 His work helped me understand the power of words, and the power of ideas. I don’t think he would want us to carry on about him too long -- but I do think he would want us to carry on at least a little...

    3.16.08 Episode - Don Ledger

    Jeremy -- How do we know we're not using them? We didn't know about the U2 until the Soviets shot one down. I'm not trying to be argumentative here. I'm just saying that there may be possibilities in all this we're not aware of because of the way the game is being played. I should...

    Questions for Richard Dolan

    Question (for a return visit): This is really two parts: 1. Do we (meaning America) really have a secret space program with technology far outstripping what we see in the "public" space program or what is apparently in use by our military? 2. If we do, how can that technology be...

    3.16.08 Episode - Don Ledger

    Miah -- No, I don't think I did miss the point. I'm not saying that I buy the kind of thing the parapolitics crowd would argue, but I would want to hear what Dolan would say on the issue to see if there he would lend any credence to the idea of an entirely segregated technology "base." And...

    3.16.08 Episode - Don Ledger

    Haven't listened to the show yet, but these comments caught me. It seems like the parapolitics crowd would argue that there's a huge layer of secret government doing whatever it pleases, and little or none of that advanced technology "percolates" through. I'm not sure I buy that, but there...

    What personalities in the Ufo field drive you nuts?

    That's a relief. I wouldn't want the baby Jesus eating something unhealthy, for heaven's sake.
