While I am also dismissive of 5,280 foot blimps I would say this kind of statement is the other side of sweeping generalizations based on outliers in the discussion. There has been a demonstrated and longstanding interest in large airships. DARPA's recently canceled WALRUS[pdf] program...

I just recently listened to the Paratopia shows and somehow missed this story. I went back and scanned them but couldn't find this reference. Who was the guest on that episode? I agree with David in attributing anything flying that is actually a mile wide to a paranormal source. To me the...

Taken from the very rare 1956 "U.F.O.", this is probably a better copy of the 1952 Tremonton, Utah footage than you are likely to find elsewhere on the net. Includes the interview with Newhouse and the analysis of the footage from the end of the film. Refer to...

A few misc thoughts: As MJ-12 and Bennewitz came up this is another great opportunity to link to Philip Coppens series of articles that largely deal with intelligence agencies and their involvement with the subject. Of particular interest here are "Driving Mr. Bennewitz Insane" and "MJ-12...

Respectfully, I don't think cryptic statements like this advance the discussion much. Personally, I don't really know what is exactly going on with ufos and the global intelligence community. Are they interested or disinterested? Do they know something or hiding what they don't know? Who is...

Well since we are all pointing at CIA in this thread I thought I'd link this interesting article: "...it’s okay to say that the CIA is hiding little green men, but when you say the CIA has concocted the story of little green men, the CIA hunts you down…" A Lone...

Hey thanks very much. To my ears the show sounds pretty much as good as something recorded in a commercial radio studio.

72. Who is the most prominent UFO bibliographer today and what has he published? (This is a hard one.) Isaac Koi? If so, his chronology is offline.

Gene and David, I've always appreciated the production quality of the show and I'm curious if you would be willing to share a bit about your setup(s) for recording the show. I understand you are mostly using Skype and recording this out of your respective homes. 1. What kind of microphone(s)...

This Archipelago project may be of some interest to you if you have not already seen it. Another interesting thing that, in some cases, should be possible for a sightings db integrated w/ Google Earth is to display a marker within Google Sky. You could easily show where Venus was located in...

Amen. Also, whenever dealing with the topic of airplanes and radar, I would like to see an examination of whether or not a target doing 0 knots would have been filtered out by the radar system's software. NARCAP's exhaustive examination of the radar systems that cover O'Hare include this note...

I think a basic UFO quiz would do well to acquaint the testee with the original official investigative programs and time frames. A basic knowledge should understand the relationship of Sign>Grudge>BlueBook. Perhaps a question about the Robertson Panel and it's relationship to the 1952...

Thanks for the link and best wishes for your project. Does anyone know what ever became of Larry Hatch's database? It seemed to be very well regarded but then dropped off the net last year sometime I think. Any chance of integrating the NUFORC db? I think about UFO sightings databases from...

Just wanted to say that I found the second hour of the show to be very engaging as the conversation touched on religious/ritual practices in S. America, magical realism etc. It seems there is easily another two hour show simply focused on those aspects and I would love to hear this stuff really...

I might have my terminology a bit off. According to this I should have said simple and compound eyes. Previously I had heard of simple eyes being referred to as camera eyes. Two general configurations and ten different layouts among the two types. Certainly there is a huge variety in eye...

The example I use when this criticism is brought up is that some forms just naturally work better than others. Given that we only have one planet's biology as a reference but considering the vastly varying environmental conditions that exist on earth it is interesting to note that evolution has...

Does anyone else think there might be some utility in creating a kind of laughter-curtain video montage consisting of short segments of all these predictable roll-eyes/smirk moments?

I've read RH's book and in my opinion a reasonable person should come to one or more of the following conclusions from the material he presents therein: 1. A significant number of people that operate and secure the nuclear arsenal of the United States have had UFO encounters in the immediate...

From my non-omniscient vantage point it appears to me that Good does two things: He collects stories and he retells them. I'm not entirely sure it would be appropriate to call him an investigator as it seems that one ufo story is as good as the next to him. I couldn't call him either credible...

Sorry but I just can't resist posting this. My apologies if this is one of those things that has already been forwarded to you 20 times. <style type="text/css">.cc_box a:hover .cc_home{background:url('http://www.comedycentral.com/comedycentral/video/assets/syndicated-logo-over.png')...
