Two stage process: 1. Commission a Brookings level report/update to the hypothesis with a mix of high-profile and specialised scientists; 2. Commission an 'X' prize-like competition (funded by either private or a govt/private mix, perhaps even via KickStartr or similar) for any participants to...

Go on, say it! Then you can be wrong and we can all see some action ;) ...you'll be wrong for the right reason, and if you are, who'll care anyways, we'll have some new shiny stuff to talk about. Live a little!

To Charles Halt. Gary Heseltine of PRUFOS (the database that maintains sighitngs of UFO's by UK police officers) always made a point (I thought) that was worthy, but do not hear much of - the Control Tower. ATC guys/girls would be more than familiar with the lighthouse nearby - if they...

second way. Phonetically, it would be: rendelshem, but americans tend to say 'sham' instead. Off-topic: Why do americans say Bernard as Bernaaaahrd .e.g Bernard Herrmann, yet they say Leonard as Leonard as in Leonard Nimoy and not Leonaaahrd. It does my head in.

heh! Yes, I see what you mean :) Good point.

Wasn't the original founder a Brit called Simon Grey who eventually got overwhelmed by the amount of time it was taking? I seem to recall something like that waaaay back in the day when I used to go there. WilliamOneSac seemed to be running the site for a while too. IIRC it got delegated to...

They're not playing it up all of a sudden, as I said, this gets covered periodically when the US/SK manoeuvres start. Tell you what, let's see if it's still dominating the front pages in two weeks. It's already gone from the bbc's world homepage (BBC News - World) and main homepage. If they...

To me, this is THE number one priority for ufology. Potentially hugely valuable data locked in cupboards and boxes gathering dust and waiting to be thrown out when the person dies and the executors clean the property without realising the importance of the collateral contained therein. Until...

...clipped for brevity... Absolutely, the best post made on here for a good while. So many good points. It deserves it's own thread.

Whilst I agree with your sentiment, did you never pull a favour or do one for someone that would make their life easier in your previous careers? You can still be seen to be doing your job without doing it to the fullest extent/ exact interpretation of the law. It can also work in the opposite...

When the journalist in question deems that what they can get out of divulging the information outweighs what they can get from with-holding it. There is possibly elements still holding him back, either personal or professional, perhaps tangible proof is in short supply. Maybe when he gets close...

Looking wider, this seems to fit into a wider pattern involving paranormal events. Authorities become involved at some point in the early state and then it is farmed over to a private entity where information can be safely hidden but a controlling hand can still be exerted where necessary. Who...

Thanks Red Pill. I guess the next tasks I have are to find out who the others might have been and why was Armstrong there (I note that SS seemed a little unsure on whether Armstrong actually was there). *thinking aloud* For Armstrong to have been there is perhaps a little puzzling. There are...

Having listened to some far more experienced and educated people who visit NK on a regular basis, I conclude that this is all going to blow over in time. One has to understand that this rhetoric goes on 365 days a year in NK, it's just that the western media chooses to pick up on it...

got here in the end Ezekiel. ;) Had to cross post this from the 'Question Bank' as no-one answered: Finally managed to listen to this paracast. The point that really caught my attention was right at the end where Grant references the Ronald Reagan E.T. screening, specifically: Does anyone...

hah! brilliant. I ask you to simply explain the graph and you don't, and then you try and switch the focus. bravo! bravo! That's certainly one way to look at it. The other might be to try and ensure that there is a level of available capacity on demand for any enterprising individual to make...

Er... no. Argentina invaded a British territory illegally and a Task Force was put together and sent to take the territory back. It was under a UN mandate. You *could* make one argument about whether it was right to sink the General Belgrano or not as it appeared to be turning away when...

@Decker. I don't think we did turn on him, we are allowed to vote out PM's if we think they haven't fulfilled the promises outlined in their manifesto and it doesn't mean we hate them, they're just less relevant for the here and now :) Chruchill did warn of the problem with Hitler, and at...

I disagree, but what I'm really interested in, is the "lots of untimely death"(s) point. What are you referring to there please? And thanks for the Ayn Rand reference, never heard of her, but her wikipedia reads with many points of interest.

I was making the point with tongue firmly in cheek ;) but you made it for me as well, 3 times is pretty impressive for any PM.
