@TClaeys - That's a good point, I'd forgotten about the giant squid! @Paranormal Packrat - I've seen that incident before but can't remember where. Is the vid from "Sasquatch - Legend meets Science"? Personally, I'd have been terrified :eek:

Unfrackinfortunately I think this is the other UFO Hunters show which didn't get picked up by anyone after the pilot. Bit of a shame as it was better than the other one (just)...

You can say that again! Thanks for the vid.

I think it's a GREAT idea! The "It Happened To Me" section is always the first one I turn to in Fortean Times (both in the magazine and in their forums). @Gene - while it might be nice to go through the forums and pull out relevant topics from the past, I don't really see that as being...

Certainly it's a shame there are no spectacular discoveries but I still think it's a great series. If only I could say the same for certain UFO programmes!

Great story, Tommy :D:D:D

Impossible to say without examining the data at a lower level (and even then you might struggle to answer "why did that happen" rather than just "how"?) but most of us here are probably familiar with the Trickster theory of the paranormal which is often blamed for such technological annoyances...

Thanks. Been a while since I visited this site, nice to have a reminder (and I like Targ too).

What's the experience you're looking to explain?

I'll second that, I think remote viewing is very interesting. You've just reminded me of the Penn & Teller Bullsh*t episode about remote viewing where the guy sitting across from an ample-bosomed colleage draws a couple of large hills and Penn says "Looks like this guy has been doing some...

Mariano Melgar I believe. I think it's covered in one of the (bah!) UFO Hunters episodes - the one where they have the guy use some elaborate contraption with two joysticks to move lights across a map instead of just using his finger. @Mothra: would love to hear more of your Phoenix Lights...

Coming back to the issue of disclosure and the UK MOD files, I've just watched last week's "Have I Got News For You?" - a popular comedy quiz show in the UK - and the files were discussed for a few minutes (they were the basis for one of the questions). The tone was, as you might expect, not...

A long time ago, in a much earlier page of this thread, Gene wrote: I've just got round to listening to this week's episode. As Gene was replying to my post, do I win a prize too??!! :D

I was going to say something about big boobies but that's even better :D

I think that's exactly the way it came across in the UK media. Correct me if I'm wrong but weren't these files released simply because the Freedom of Information act meant they had to be? i.e. there's no pressing need to read a hidden agenda into their disclosure? If you wanted to read a motive...

Absolutely right. I've mentioned a couple of times that I find David's Venezuelan encounter compelling but there's no way I can ever know if it represents objective fact (would I have seen the same thing if I'd been standing next to him, for example?) At best, reports from credible sources -...

Fully agreed, and if there's room for one more in the boat count me in. It's clear to me that the vast majority of popular paranormal and ufo-related content on the web and TV is purely for entertainment, money or both. With that said, there are commentators and experiencers who give me pause...

Nice post, Fastwalker. That pretty much sums up my own take on fundamentalism as well...

On a related note, a recent Point of Inquiry interview here: http://www.pointofinquiry.org/chris_hedges_i_dont_believe_in_atheists/ touches on the same point, i.e. it's not religion that's bad per se, but certain aspects of human nature which may be drawn to or arise within religious...

Great to see so many sensible posts. I certainly don't have the sense that there's more "activity" or that disclosure is on the cards any time soon (then again, I'm not someone who believes anyone has anything particularly spectacular to disclose anyway).
