    Ray Stanford has a photo of the Socorro craft & Martin Willis has seen it and is impressed but...

    Yes, I built one based around the 1490 digital compass sensor, but not sure that's the best device to use for this. After I built mine, I saw the one shown above on sale for about $90. I think there are at least two versions of that model - and the later one also uses the 1490 sensor! The...

    Ray Stanford has a photo of the Socorro craft & Martin Willis has seen it and is impressed but...

    A couple of questions for Ray Stanford if he ever agrees to comes back on the show: I have a Project Starlight International leaflet from the late 1960s/early 1970s containing two basic UFO detector (magnetometer) designs, the idea being that these were simple enough to be built at home and set...

    The Black Knight Revisited

    Saw this thread had been resurrected and considered ploughing in again. Thanks to Tyger for reposting my thoughts in post #23 above; I'd forgotten I wrote that, but I stand by it still 100%. I re-listened to the Wow Signal podcast mentioned elsewhere in this thread and in the second part Duncan...

    Two Hours on the Operating Table

    Indeed although not yet quite as bad. At least in smoking, much (all?) the high UK tobacco tax went towards the health service (directly or indirectly supposedly) so it could be argued that smokers did pay for their health care. But then it gets complicated. If I heed the do-more-exercise...

    Two Hours on the Operating Table

    That real case study clearly shows the state of health care in the US. Thanks for sharing it for your international readers Gene. So why are people against 'Obama Care'? I didn't see anyone here supporting the status quo. Perhaps someone would like to explain to a British citizen why the US...

    Your most powerful dream

    The most vivid dream I ever had by far... In the dream I was at work in one of our antenna fields. A colleague had a helium balloon, not a partly one, a huge one, though not with a basket to stand in, but a one-person parachute harness (do such things exist?). He showed me how to use the...

    UFO Detector

    Delayed update: my home-made, all-electronic 'UFO detector' went off three times in one weekend in October 2014. Looks like it was related to the CMEs at the time rather than UFOs buzzing low over eastern England! Anyway... What happened to Ray Stanford's Project Starlight International and the...

    Are Ghosts Real? Mystery Solved (VIDEO)

    Good video - covers most aspects and well describes the problems and paradoxes. I'll see what else the guy has to say because for me he 'hits the spot!' @manxman: The word 'energy' often gets banded about in the paranormal fields. 'Vibration' is another one. I've just had to accept that the...

    The Paracast Audio Quality Poll

    Seems I'm not the only one who has noticed... But what's wrong with just watching the meters and using the faders for goodness sake? It's called 'studio craft' and it's the fist thing anyone working in a studio is taught - or it should be. Watching the levels using the meters doesn't need any...

    The Paracast Audio Quality Poll

    It's a speech based podcast. It doesn't need to be high bit rate, especially if the contributor is on a phone, or Skype. To sate the obvious, smaller lower-bitrate files are faster to download and take up less space in the player. Just try and keep all the studio/contributor/jingle levels the...

    The Paracast Audio Quality Poll

    Most of the podcasts I listen to have reasonable sound quality, including the Paracast. But as Gene says, the connection quality can be a problem for some of the contributors. But amongst the worst for audio quality are still Don Ecker's podcasts. Yes I know they're free, have no commercials...

    Ufo over Stafford, England

    Since we're discussing old UK UFO film/video, has anyone got a link (presumably on Youtube) for a UFO film taken by an ITN crew (pretty sure it wasn't BBC) in the mid/early 1970s? I recall it being shown on the news as a typical "And Finally" type story. It showed a documentary crew filming...

    Duncan Lunan debunks the Black Knight UFO myth

    German radio ham DJ6NP (or DK6NP) as reported here. Unfortunately the link in the article to the audio file is dead. I tried Archive.org, Google cache, all dead. Just a note about using HF radio stations (VOA, BBC, etc) as sources to monitor LDEs. Don't! I've seen a couple of Youtube examples...

    Duncan Lunan debunks the Black Knight UFO myth

    There are some interesting new theories about Long Delay Echoes. The five most likely (supposedly) here. None include the Black Knight satellite - the myth also nicely explained away at Skeptoid.com Some German radio amateur made some LDE recordings of himself - not just the 0.7 seconds...

    UFO Detector

    Ahhh! That's probably because you had one of the old clunky magnet-in-a-box detector things that would only go off if the UFO crashed into it! It's all so hi-tech now Gene - no moving parts, all modern electronics... BTW, if anyone has any info on the device in the first post in the thread...

    UFO Detector

    Well, I got around to designing and building my UFO detector. It is really only a magnetometer based around the 1490 magnetic compass chip. (Background for newbies: UFOs - whatever they may be - are supposed to be surrounded by strong magnetic fields. The theory, I guess, comes from close...

    UFO over Afghanistan

    Sorry chaps, fake video. See original without any UFO! It was also reported in Britain's Daily Mirror newspaper website. Why cant the Daily Mail and Daily Mirror (and the rest) do some basic research FFS before publishing total c**p?! Well, because the truth ruins a good story... Ian
