The Paracast presents itself as possibly the more sophisticated of pseudo-sceptical podcasts into 'paranormal events', displaying most of the features of untruthful thinking whilst maintaining their unfounded arguments, beliefs and pet theories despite all long established logical fallacies...

Couple of questions: What happened to Jerry Mackay, the individual in the Unsolved Mysteries video that apparently experienced something in Dorothy's presence, hearing things on his right ear and seeing some object in her back garden? How many hours does 30,000 feet of Super 8 film make?

Ces étranges lumières sur la lune, sont-elles peut être des anges ou des démons... ?

What exactly would a more 'serious' search effort be? Are you implying that they would be better off spending their resources on building the technology that can actually go to a star 4 light years away? Whatever you think of their techniques or methods, I don't see why you have a problem...

"Do me a favour, get in touch with your outer adult". Paraphrase of you know who.

A thread designed to boost the ego of the original poster, obviously, whatever anyone says, good or bad. Fair enough. However, let's not forget the swings of credulity that your listeners have been subjected to over the lifespan of this podcast, and now more recently we have to suffer...

What an attention seeking queen. You should try speaking in tongues whilst buggering yourself with a Baby Jesus Butt Plug. Then we'll be interested in your, ahem, EEG.

Pareidolia. "Connection" is the correct spelling. Only because I'm bored.

Cheers for the links. I'm not convinced it's nothing more than coincidence though. Are we seeing patterns where there aren't really any?

It's a pity that money gets in the way like that. The first thought that comes to mind - if Leir is so sure of his objects then you'd think that he would front the money as an investment in the obvious fame and recognition he would receive... no? Thanks for the response.

The Paracast June 17, 2007. 26mins 50sec. into the show - Leir - Ok, I’ll tell you what, you arrange it with Dupont and I’ll get you a piece of the material. DB - Really? Leir – Yeah. DB – Ok, so if I can arrange for a major known, not black budget, but known lab to look at it, you’d...

Can you back up that statement with any recognized sources please ?

The real question is peer review what, exactly? What could any group of researchers actually physically examine? Since there isn't anything, what new information do you expect to obtain from these self proclaimed ufologists (or whoever) that they haven't already told you? Rubber Johnny

I'm not sure if this has already been posted, but the following is Nick Redfern's comment (in response to Paul Kimball) from this post on this blog, that summarizes neatly the original topic of this thread - "Paul I predict that ufology will never be anymore than a subject that attracts a...

You’ve hit the nail on the head in evoking the stagnation of paranormal research, and doesn’t that prove that with the tools we have at the moment to analyze any claims of paranormal/supernatural activity, we just don’t have anything that we can 100% for sure say that this or that is a genuine...

Hear hear. It's extremely frustrating and queitly depressing to now have to listen to Biedny's new proposals on how, (paraphrasing) "well what if the scientific method is just missing something" and "the egos of scientists get in the way" bullshit. This is beginning to sound like typical...

Let me just say that since the niche being carved by The Paracast is increasingly skeptical of subjects and interviewees that don't fall into the "comfort zone" of the hosts (that's a good thing), that at least the shared concept of rational critical analysis that is often employed on the show...

I'm afraid you may be embrassing yourself, and in public. Such statements sound like proof of your poor rationale. I'll humour you though, for what my opinion is worth, which isn't much. No dodging is going on here. "Do you agree with him (Shermer) when he states that trained pilots are no...
