I normally don't listen to Whitley Streiber's Unknown Country, since most of it is zarking insane. But I did listen the other day, and there was a guy on named J Allen Danelek who seemed to be saying fairly reasonable things. Here's his site and a link to Dreamland where you can listen...

Just to bump this up, I fourth (fifth?) this nomination. :)

Bassett and his X-con (X-con... heheh...) reminds me of a lot of the narcissist parade conferences that occur in the tech industry. They have the same formula: they invite a few legitimate speakers doing real things and mix them with a lot of self-promoting morons and vaporware salesmen. The...

Man, did I ever have an experience with someone like that once. This had nothing to do with any of the paranormal topics here-- this was a guy who approached me to go into business together. Nearly *everything* about him turned out to be phony including his financial status, his background, his...

Hmm... so it'll be the baggy-pantsing of a well-known huckster in the UFO field. That's a looooooong list. In no particular order, I can think of... Richard Hoaxland, Richard Doty, John Lear, Ray Santilli, David Sereda, Jose Escamilla, Linda Howe, ... I would prefer shows about hard-core...

I agree that Gene and Dave can be really harsh, but I still really appreciate the show. As I said above, they're the only ones who *ever* ask hard questions in this field. So they're a bit abrasive... at least they actually try to dig and aren't satisfied with fluff and evasion and nonsense. Our...

I really hope you guys don't hang it up... you are the only people on Earth who do this. Everyone else is either a True Believer or a dogmatic debunker, pretty much without exception. All the other shows just let people talk, and they never ask interesting or challenging questions. I didn't...

I love Neal Stephenson... too bad I don't have much reading time these days. :( Actually, as I was going home from work today a thought popped into my head regarding something I said above. It's a bit of a tangent, but interesting. I mentioned several times that someone who didn't spend...

Along the lines of this discussion: Nearest planetary system boasts two asteroid belts - space - 27 October 2008 - New Scientist Space This is 10.5 light years away, so it would take (with speeding up and slowing down) probably about 150 years to reach at 0.1C.

Yes, you would need shields, but they would not have to be solid. I've read proposals such as heavy molecule (e.g. fluorocarbons with heavy metal groups) gas clouds sprayed out in front of the craft coupled with large superconducting electomagnets. First, objects that the craft hits in its...

I haven't read Friedman's book, but it sounds pretty good. I think it's important to point out that "fantasy physics" are not required to explain travel between relatively nearby stars. There are quite a few stars within our local stellar neighborhood that are sun-like that could be reached...

I'd like to suggest a guest: George Dyson, son of Freeman Dyson, to talk about project Orion and nuclear propulsion. This is relevant to the UFO topic because it provides some counterargument to the common SETI argument that "you can't travel that far." Project Orion shows that it was...

Unfortunately no. It was many years ago that she told me this and I've since lost touch, and it would be a bit odd for me to contact her over this. She wasn't even all that comfortable talking about it. It really really freaked her out. I just posted it here because I've never heard anything...

I've got a couple of oddities I could share here, but one comes to mind that has always fascinated me. This is a second hand tale, but one that came directly from the experiencer who I have since lost touch with. I dated a woman many years ago who related this to me. She claimed that once...

Oh yeah, and it is a shame that Linda Molted Cow got involved. :P

You should have him on the Paracast to talk about this. I'd really like to see more on the Paracast about recent sightings and events. You guys do a good job debunking the loons (one of my favorite things) and getting into interesting theory discussions, but I'd like to see more current...

Anyone know anything about this? Interesting...
