Sounds a lot like the lectures my Dad used to give. Is there something you're doing that you're not telling us? Would you give some direction other than spending a few hours on some website? I'm not going to claim to know more about the economy than you do, but I'm also not about to just...

Are you one of these people who sees weird stuff all the time? If you are, here's what I'd like you to do, and I'm dead serious: 1. Buy a really good camera. 2. Buy a really good tripod and affix said camera to tripod. 3. Throw it in the trunk of your car, ready to go at a moment's...

Sorry, but I laughed out loud at work when I read the subject of this thread. The lads at the Sun have really outdone themselves. And now everyone's looking at me. "That crazy UFO guy is reading that one Parasailing sight again."

It would be easy to dub an audio track of traffic going by too. I suppose you could explain the time inconsistency by saying it was edited down, but that's lame. Once again; a shaky video camera, unclear image, no questions answered. I'm getting tired of this.

Who knows what the true intentions are of anyone starting this sort of thing, especially a high-powered, Hollywood director. Sure the guys made some respectable stuff having to do with UFOs and extraterrestrials (ET, Close Encounters, Taken...), but I find myself asking the same question you're...

I know the feeling. For what it's worth, I think you're one of the more interesting and genuine people on the show, and with me that's a hard act to pull off since I have a hard time trusting, or liking, the vast majority of people. Massive kudos to you on that. If people want to comment on...

Q1 - Who's to say? That situation right there is one of the biggest mysteries of who we are. To just experience this is, in my opinion, one of the highest states of being we could achieve. I'm sure many camps have their own spin on it, but do they have the complete answer? I don't think so...

Right, so everyone who eats a vegan diet is headed straight on a one-way train for osteoporosis. Stop being foolish.

In my experience you can typically only convince those who are already convinced, especially when it comes to religion. It takes more than a poorly-drawn pamphlet to make someone stop believing what they have believed for years.

Replace the word "children" with "adults" in that last sentence and sentiment still works.

So it seems despite all the budget, the big names, the exposure and the marketing, the best evidence still seems to be internet talk radio shows, fringe-authors, B-market documentaries, and fuzzy home videos. Ay caramba...

So... God is a kitten? Makes sense to me! Cats rock. Anyone else notice that "The Great One" looks a lot like the stereotypical Nazi portrayal of a Jew?

Funny, something very similar happened to my fiancee and I last night in our apartment. We had just gotten in bed and were drifting off when I felt someone touching my left leg. I looked back thinking it was one of the cats, but nothing there. A minute later, my fiancee gasps and bolts up in...

I just sent a question in, along the lines of "How would the US government respond to intelligent life looking for contact, and how would they keep the public from panicking?" Not sure what I'm looking to get out of that question, I'd just be interested in seeing what they'd invent.

Oooh, math!

I'm already highly skeptical of the whole deal. That thread at ATS has a link to the original American Chronicle story, which was authored by a guy named Brian Vike. Now, who this guy is or what he's all about I have no idea, but if you scroll down to the bottom of that American Chronicle...

You can interchange "meteors the size of Rhode Island" with any kind of apocalyptic scare-tactic you'd like: nuclear war, machines, Jesus, morlocks, what have you. I clearly recall being scared out of my wits by my parents and their batshit-crazy friends who used to sit around and talk about...

Astroboy, I would love to pick your brain about this stuff. Sounds like you've got some really impressive experience... are you an architect, historian? I'm a Lit. major who has read a bunch of stuff, so in that sense I wouldn't pass the Ascham litmus test.

Wouldn't the presence of an endlessly-growing list of apocalypse scenarios be evidence that, in fact, very little of it all holds water and that it's really nothing different than 1999 when we were all scared to death that when the clock ticked over midnight we would be decimated by meteors the...

Before I go into it, let me explain that I personally subscribe to the more existential view that time does not exist, and that all is one moment with no past or future that can be summond. However, I only came to this view after I began realizing, not too long ago, that time feels like it's...
