That statement assumes what they found were footprints. In truth, they don't have any idea what created the impressions; shifting winds and freeze-thaw cycles can play games. But this absolutely supports the point I tried to make. There's nothing new, except the technology being employed. In...

Seems to me crypto-zoologists never have anything new to say. The deep forest growling, shadowy videos and odd footprints are basically the same stories, wrapped in newer technologies, we heard 20 years ago. Not a fan.

I agree. It was an intelligent, informative and interesting two hours. Dr. Zubrin was a stellar guest; direct, insightful, responsive and a legitimate exeprt. He has something to share and knows how to share it in a meaningful way. I'd really enjoy a few hours listening to Michio Kaku (can't get...

Very interesting anecdotes. I guess that right now the pattern is unmistakable, albeit useless; there's a lot of inexplicable activity out there for which we have no evidence as to either motivation or source. I suspect that's why it appears Vallee, Keel and Hynek, at least, have concluded the...

First, the point I attempted to make is that the Manhattan Project is a unique exception to the common "rule" that government secrets are anything but. It was unique in that it was a research project, with a definable, time-driven objective, carried on in compartmentalized and geographically...

Or...think Watergate, Iran-Contra, NSA data mining and Russ Tice, Shawn Carpenter, Abu Ghraib, the Pentagon Papers, Col. John Vann's Vietnam disclosures, and hundreds of other instances in which "secrets" were outed. To always point to the Manhattan Project is to point to the exception which...

I don't follow this. Exactly what crime would these people have committed if they held information secret which they were lawfully bound to hold as such. If you're speculating that this is a "rogue scenario", without lawful authority, it would be one hell of a conspiracy, both in scope and...

Again, I'd disagree. This is clearly a black-and-white issue. Politics is all about perceptions and implications. ANY mention of UFOs or the paranormal, especially in an era of very serious and critical challenges (all of which will not even be close to being "fixed" over the next decade), would...

Well, BrandonD, perhaps there's some previously-unavailable possibility lurking in this new transparency (as reported in today's Wall Street Journal).

People will be losing jobs at unprecedented rates, inflation will run rampant within 3 years, all while we build monumental deficits and battle terrorism on multiple fronts. The last words that will come out of a very smart President Obama's mouth for the foreseeable future will be "UFO" and...

How would one get a secret government organization, about which no one knows even the name, members or location to ever be forthcoming with information the evidence of which information's existence does not, itself, exist? It is cotton candy in the rain.

Excuse my ignorance, but am I to understand that the source for this document is a "reggae and consciousness" website? Is there a somewhat more credible source from which we can grab some assurance that the underlying document is what it is purported? Who received it under FOIA? Where did it...

Seems an oddly uncharacteristic public blurt from a man who, nothwithstanding his many peccadilloes, could surely be counted on to keep his big mouth shut. Does anyone have a reliable and verifiable source/citation for this quote?

I may be one of those. ("May be" because I think it may depend on the day and time I'm asked, and the mood I happen to be nursing at that moment.) But I do accept that the universe is teeming with intelligent life.I don't pretend to fully understand the Drake equation but I accept that there's a...

That's good. Multiple witnesses could just as "rationally" be self-manifestations or shared visions as physical, in the sense of our current understanding of the world and the physical sciences. So if we limit our research to what can currently and conveniently fit within our limited knowledge...

Sorry to be contrary, but I think there is far less likelihood of this than at any time in the last 30 years. We have some of the most serious and personally consequential issues converging on us at the same time; financial reconstruction, a shifting terrorist focus, escalating war in the Middle...

I can only guess what place I'd be in had I ever observed something that didn't fit my "expectations" of what is supposed to be. What I find disturbing is that there are too many people of integrity and credibility who have seen things that are completely inexplicable by what I think I know to...

I have always been amazed by how little effort a show like C2C put into vetting its guests. It has a near-amazing array of scam artists, liars, kooks and fools, all treated with the same deference and insipidness as "legitimate" guests. If every show put in the effort we saw in this segment of...

I think my argument is, given the choices you present, against what passes for investigation in the paranormal arena. I think that 60 years of "research" and "investigation" has only entrenched mindsets while obfuscating possibilities. I don't think I'm suggesting one throw up his hands and not...

The problem I see with your recommendations, exo_doc, is that they assume there is some truth that we are either capable of knowing or entitled to understand. The one thing I think has become pretty clear over the last 60+ years is that the answers, to the extent there are any, are not as...
