As mentioned on the last Paracast, here it is... the awful movie that nevertheless contains what might be a prototype of the standard abduction narrative. At least this version has MST3K-style voice-overs, which makes it watchable. :)

Yup, I felt the same way... especially some of the things that were claimed that didn't make sense (dig through the thread for my comments on the bigger-inside-than-outside claim). I dismiss everything in the UFO subject that is not first-hand and from credible and preferably multiple witnesses...

The problem I have with quotes like that is that they're... well... moralistic. We're a "virus with shoes?" According to whose judgement? God? Aliens? Mother Earth? Earth has been here far longer than we have, and it will be here far longer than we will. I think this level of human-hate is...

I'll second the second part. SETI is silly. I call it the Search for Extraterrestrial Twentieth-century Intelligence. It is absolutely loaded with assumptions, one of the more obvious being the use of strong radio broadcasts. We are already transitioning away from that in favor of lots of...

Hmm... reminds me of 15-minutes-ago young Earth creationism. 15YEC (for short) states that the Earth was created by God 15 minutes ago, with everything exactly as it is now including all of our "memories" which were created as well. Prove me wrong!

Via my RSS feeds... CBC News - Nfld. Labrador - UFO sighting puzzles N.L. residents Edit: more CBC News - Nfld. Labrador - DND, RCMP mum on UFO mystery If anyone lives up there, it would be really neat to have a Paracast about this... especially if we could find someone who saw it.

Two very excellent points. One thing that bothers me about this field is the undue special "credibility license" given to people with links to government, military, or NASA. When you really think about it objectively, an astronaut is just a pilot. I would trust a pilot to be observent and...

Massachusetts. Not exactly a red state, despite the fact that they recently elected the nude Republican to the Senate. (I call him the naked Republican because there's a well-circulated naked spread of him on the Internet.)

I saw Avatar (a.k.a. Pocahontas in space) a few days ago. I really liked the movie, and do recommend it... but that's not why I'm here. I am here because immediately prior to the film I was treated to: a) TWO gung-ho advertisements for different branches of the U.S. military ... immediately...

I wasn't denying that it's possible... at least not categorically. It is a stretcher though. But what I was saying is that even if it is possible, it seems like the question to ask is: what happened when you loaded it onto a truck or a transport plane, sent it to a hangar, and started messing...

This was by far one of the most interesting episodes ever! But before I describe why I think this, I have to say that I think Stringfield's data is full of misinformation. The dead giveaway for me was the "larger inside than outside" stuff. Some of the other stuff was a bit hard to accept, but...

I don't watch the idiot box much, though I do catch select shows that I like on Hulu. Last time I did was over Christmas when I flipped through the channels a bit. I landed for a second on something on... it was either Discovery or one of the other faux-learning channels... called "Extreme...

On his last interview, I really got the impression that Dolan had been smoking the woo. Most of the "secret government ET conspiracy" stuff he was talking about was stuff that seems to owe its origin to people like John Lear and to that whole late-80s Las Vegas UFO sensationalism milieu. IMHO...

I personally think that relativistic ion drive is pretty likely. Relativistic ion drive means that the emitted particles-- usually protons-- are traveling at near-light-speed. We cannot build such a thing now, since we lack the technology to efficiently accelerate particles to such speeds. We...

Seconded. Go to radio4all.net and hunt up Christopher O'Brien's old interview on Radio Misteroso... it's one of my favorites and is quite fascinating and quite listenable.

I've seen that before, and it's really interesting. On the child abuse / pedophilia front, the best explanation I've heard is that this could be a tactic to entrap and then blackmail powerful people. The idea would be to lure them into a culture of drugs and sex parties, lure them into having...

Crazy: Project MotherShip. Sir Gilligan Horry. UFOs Aliens Space and Earth.

That's a good one, and doesn't look either obviously fake or obviously mundane. Size is hard to tell. It could be a military drone I suppose. Do a Google image search for "military drone" and you'll see that many have odd flying wing or similar designs that might look like this. But a military...

I too am skeptical. I posted this in another thread, but there is a skeptical side to the Guarapiranga case: The Horror: Guarapiranga case | forgetomori But I am open-minded... what I heard was a mix of things, some of which sounded more credible than others. One thing that did come to...
