"High strangeness" is generally considered to be anything exceptionally weird given already bizarre circumstances. Example: - Abducted by "aliens": weird - Abducted by "aliens" who offer you egg-salad sandwiches: High-strangeness

Meh. It was an okay show but the whole "It's all the government!" angle is just as irrational to me as the "It's all ET!" angle. The more time passes the more an more I feel a single-source explanation has little to do with the phenomena encountered and more to do with the human need to put...

I think the high-strangeness aspect has more to do with how our brains percieve these events than it does with the events themselves. Lacking the appropriate frame of reference, our brain does it's best to fill in the gaps of understanding for the events it's witnessing. Sometimes the results...

Funny thing about connecting the dots... if you take away the numbers, the picture you get looks like whatever you want it to.

Actually Star Wars was one of the first movies to incorporate vector graphics into a film (in the form of the TIE fighter targetting console and Death Star trench briefing) as well as some more basic graphics for other various consoles and displays. However it sounded to me like he was...

Not really. I very much doubt lab rats understand why the men in the white coats keep sticking pins in them and changing their food.

Snark all you like, the fact remains if the threat to reveal intelligence of ANY sort could be used to stave off invasions/gain support for them we'd see it in use all the time. We don't. And even if we did it would be dismissed as meaningless propaganda. Eiteher way I don't think your theory...

That's not quite what I meant. In terms of leverage to effect political actions and/or military ones I don't see evidence of state secrets being used, at least not publically. Let's take Iraq for example. Back in the 80s they were the USA's bestest buddies in the whole wide world and I'm sure...

That tends not to happen. And I don't mean in regards to UFOs I mean in any case. I don't get where this idea of invasion = disclosure is coming from.

That's right, nothing over secret level has been released. If there is government info to be had, it's unlikely to wind up in Wikileaks' hands.

That would be the problem, we have no idea. Suppose they're a million years more advanced than us. You think there's any hope of understanding anything they do? There's another central flaw with the whole question and that's the fact that whatever these things are, they aren't us. Dropping an...

Yes, because before the 21st century TV was a placid arena of Zen-like calm and only wholesome, non-violent, educational programs existed...

Except they're not though. I'm not a metallurgist but my understanding of this (and anyone who knows better, please jump in and correct me if I'm wrong) is that metals on earth are rarely-if-at-all pure, there's always some evidence of contamination, oxidization or whatever. Metals mined and/or...

I don't think that was the case. As I recall he said he thought that MUFON would essentially be THE organization to present the world with the "smoking gun" (if and when such a thing is possible) but in no way did I get the impression that they either had such proof or were ready to present it.

"Thousands of people" is a relatively small percentage in China. So that's good news.

See now I didn't even KNOW about that. That sort of thing just makes him more shady not less. Not that he needs any help, the association with Lear is plenty right off the bat.

Overall I think it was a good show if a little dull. Interesting to examine the challenges and trials facing MUFON and gauge their probable reactions. I think my brain got knocked out of alignment when Chris mentioned something about British intelligence using satellites to create crop circles...

That would be why: because that's what she represents. Having examples like her to point out to people new to the arena can be very educational.

I didn't even need to watch the video, I just saw the word "pleiadian" on the screen and my blood pressure jumped.

As arguably our most open-minded forum member blowfish I doubt even you would have trouble placing Lazar firmly in the crap box once you've had a chance to read up on him. That guy's shadier than a cave at midnight.
