    23 Mar 2008 Show - Coalition for Freedom of Information

    Great guest. I look forward to seeing what comes out of the Kecksburg lawsuit. The topic of why ufos aren't tracked on radar as much as they used to be is addressed here.

    Nellis AFB UFO

    Well, I just watched the Reverse Engineering episode and there was absolutely no mention of the Nellis video and no interview with Bill Scott from Aviation Week. If they filmed a segment w/ Scott they didn't include it in the show or perhaps Scott declined the interview at some point after the...

    Nellis AFB UFO

    The only new information I've heard on this recently was something I saw on the UFO Hunters schedule: Reverse Engineering – airs 3/19 "Aviation expert Bill Scott has photos of the Nellis object and knows what it is" That certainly is a sensational teaser. I assume they are talking...

    3 books - a hypothetical

    Look, my last paragraph starts with the word "please". I'm not trying to be bossy but I just didn't want the thread to immediately derail into something not related to my scenario. Think of it as a poll where choices are limited.

    3 books - a hypothetical

    There have been a few other book threads but as the field is constantly changing and the threads are a bit old I'd like to pose the following scenario: A friend has taken an interest in the subject of UFOs. This person has a 4 year college degree and the only previous exposure to UFO...

    Stephenville Video Finally Leaked

    Izatt's footage is most definitely not the same thing. If I put on my skeptibunker hat even I would have to say that if Izatt has produced 600 Super8mm color analog film cartridges with ~3,000 individual frames of interest by accident or purposeful forgery, the mechanism is entirely different...

    Question for dB

    I thought I would just briefly interject with a pointer over to my last post on the suggested guests thread. Denzler's book seems like it is directly relevant to the direction this thread has gone. Chapter 3 is available online.

    jpg photos are the bane of modern ufology!

    I'll just use this as an opportunity to restate my opinion that some organization should take it upon themselves to start a torrent network dedicated to making available digitally signed copies of source images and video or high resolution copies of such. For example, MUFON obtains a...

    Suggested Guests

    I suggest Brenda Denzler, author of The Lure of the Edge Scientific Passions, Religious Beliefs, and the Pursuit of UFOs. Brenda Denzler received her Ph.D. in Religious Studies from Duke University and currently works in North Carolina as a writer and editor. I haven't read the entire book...

    I have a simple question

    It depends on which lights you are talking about. 1. Many ufos are described as being sort of glowing in a variety of colors in an apparent self-luminous manner. 2. Many also appear to have what could be described as actual blinking or strobing lights. 3. Many are associated with observance...

    The Fear

    Tonic immobility. Search youtube for "Chicken Hypnosis". There are three different methods for inducing it in chickens. Plenty of examples in the related videos as well: <object width="425" height="355"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/KBtHC-yUwSc&hl=en"></param><param...

    Planetary Response

    Before you could even think about defense it seems to me that you would first need to develop: 1. Reliable observation methods 2. Reliable identification methods 3. Optionally, reliable communication methods if possible. To my knowledge we haven't even achieved the ability to reliably...

    The Fear

    I've wondered about this as well. One thing that may be worth considering is that it is my understanding, and I could be wrong here, that the instinct to freeze is inherited but needs to be learned for a given predator. I've seen numerous videos of humans walking into nature preserves and...

    March 9th - Jacques Vallee!!

    Now there is a great idea. When considering the topic I have found it more and more useful to refer back to the ufo continuum. Even the few good ufo documentaries end up either narrowly focusing on one case or condensing 60+ years of data into a couple hours. What I wouldn't give to see...

    Suggested Guests

    I've often wondered about this. I've seen hints that there are some high-signal private lists out there but I haven't found them yet. Maybe somebody should start one. You could lurk through all the other lists and forums and privately invite people that didn't post in all caps and 2000 word...

    March 9th - Jacques Vallee!!

    I've posted this before here but for anyone who didn't see it previously, Brainsturbator posted an article on Kirk Allen, the man Vallee discussed in the interview as one of the subjects in Dr. Robert Lindner's book The Fifty-Minute Hour: A Collection of True Psychoanalytic Tales. I wonder what...

    March 9th - Jacques Vallee!!

    My only complaint about the show is that it wasn't long enough. :D Any sense of how often Vallee might be willing to be a guest?

    March 9th - Jacques Vallee!!

    Great news. I usually download the podcasts and don't listen to them until I have to drive or walk somewhere with my ipod but this is the first episode where I'm planning to make time to listen as soon as the link goes up. Thanks for making this happen.

    Nuclear Weapons - "Ra Material" - Channeling as relates to UFOs

    I've read most of the Ra stuff. It's a fairly fascinating if almost incomprehensible bit of work. It was preceded by Secrets of the UFO. My understanding is that Elkins started out with an interest in UFOs and transitioned to looking into Spiritualist Church seances and such after gradually...

    Stephenville Video Finally Leaked

    I really think the explanation of laser show is unnecessary given that the video has been reproduced exactly with known methods: <object width="425" height="355"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/OT2-aFiKWhA&rel=1&border=0"></param><param name="wmode"...
