I am actually a loose acquaintance of Kelly Abbott, Glenn's grandson. We met on a small private mailing list that was kind of a generalized IT nerd/graphic design/arts conversation. I had no idea he was related to Glenn until the day he posted this short film he made about his grandfather to...

I think only the soundbite debunker types avoid bringing such ideas into the discussion. There has been plenty of discussion on ideas like this elsewhere, in sci-fi literature for sure. Given the kinds of ideas humans think might be workable at some point in the future and considering the...

Excellent show. Hopefully he will become a regular guest. His apparition experience seemed to have some elements in common with Shuck variant of the Black Dog category of apparitions although most of those accounts seem to be much more physically defined than what he described. This is...

The association of the smell of sulfur with aliens, demonology, and a variety of paranormal events has been around forever and has been discussed a bit on the forum previously. I ran across this interesting article about the work of scientist Mark Roth. So one night in 2002, he was watching...

Mr. Hastings, As I mentioned previously I haven't entirely finished reading your book yet so I apologize if this question is addressed therein. Given your documentation of the extreme interest of ufos in our nuclear activities it seems to me that it must have occurred to somebody that nuclear...

I'm about 3/4 of the way through his book and I am quite impressed with the quality of the work. I can enthusiastically recommend it to anyone looking for a carefully considered and knowledgeable reference on the this aspect of the subject. One of the things that I have been kind of puzzling...

Good post. I think it is fine to assume things as long as you can clearly keep in mind that you are doing so. Start with an assumption, play with the idea and see where it goes. I love science fiction because of it's sandbox nature that lets us play with pretty much any idea we want. 1)...

This is a bit tangent but speaking of unusual weather phenomena in Venezuela, I was previously unfamiliar with Catatumbo, Venezuela's everlasting storm or the Maracaibo Beacon. ...the phenomenon is a cloud-to-cloud lightning that forms a voltage arc more than five kilometre high during 140 to...

There are a lot of great moments but the one soundbite that always comes to mind can be found in the April 25th 2006 show's interview with Sean Casteel. He was doing some completely batty speculating on Tesla and the Nazis and at one point David asks, ..."But, I want to revisit this notion of...

If you were in possession of a 1960's-era nuclear submarine just 100 years ago(forty years prior) you would be effectively invisible to even the most technically advanced nations. One of the questions I have always found interesting is, if we assume for the sake of argument that some ufo's are...

<object width="425" height="344"> "...shot by a Discovery Channel film crew in Mexico City on August 26th, 2008." </object> Interesting video. If you look at the original video above the camera operator zooms out and shows what is presumably the Discovery Channel crew. The stabilized video...

I've thought about this general idea for a long time but have never really distilled down a coherent curriculum. I've probably mentioned on this board before that I feel to even begin to have some kind of honest appreciation for how deep and complex the subject is you would need to take a...

Finally listened to this one. Excellent show. Top shelf guest who needs to become a regular. Hastings has a ready and authoritative command of the material he personally deals with and seems to maturely decline to involve himself in that which he does not deal with directly. I especially...

The reference escapes me at the moment but I recently heard something I thought was worth considering. To paraphrase, it was something along the lines that one of the abilities of a great mind is to be able to hold two or more contradictory notions at the same time without necessarily having to...

As I see you already have Vallee's paper in your references I don't think I have much to offer at the moment in the way of overlooked ejection cases. Maury Island, Bob White and the Ubatuba case were what immediately came to mind. I may be mistaken but I thought I heard somewhere that Vallee...

Just a quick note to say that I thought this was a great show and enjoyed listening to Andrew very much. I would absolutely encourage you to continue to seek out people that would not otherwise be doing this kind of thing. I think I find them a good deal more interesting than the usual...

Saw this linked over at the Keyhoe Report: The End of Theory: The Data Deluge Makes the Scientific Method Obsolete How, if at all, this has any relevance to ufo data strikes me as an interesting subject for speculation.

Hey Paul, what is the deal w/ Best Evidence? Any chance of being able to see this film in the foreseeable future without going to a convention? I'd actually buy a copy if it was available.

If you haven't already read it, I highly recommend you look at DMT: The Spirit Molecule by Rick Strassman. Looks like they are making a documentary about the book as well. It contains a good number of user reports from a controlled environment with known and varying dosage levels of...

In the ufo conversation I find it bears constantly repeating that the majority of sightings reports are indeed mis-identifications. Careful field researchers will readily state this to be the case. My impression is that sighting waves do have a core truth of increased sighting frequency but...
