This is Odd! I agree with the part where they categorize the sightings as UFO/UAP (if they weren't able to identify the objects, that's what they are), but the extraterrestrial extrapolation is a stretch on that assessment. I respect their propositon/theory, but I don't subscribe it. As...

This is Odd! Thanks for that. The discussion was rotting...like the dead fish :)

I've had a few experiences that I wasn't able to explain and that's perfectly usual. Where you go from there is the important thing. I have the firm conviction that strange things can and do happen to people around the world. What often occurs is that, after having such experiences, they...

This is Odd! The Belgian UFO sightings of 1989/90 don't have any similarities with the Arkansas bird deaths. In fact, the Belgian Air Force and Government were very interested in investigating the situation and their official report says that they found no explanation for the sightings (I've...

This is Odd! As I've mentioned, in my previous post in this thread, there are reports of similar incidents that occured as far back as 1904 (that year's case was far more devastating than the current Arkansas/Louisiana bird deaths). Does this mean that the hypothetical chemical, biological or...

From what we've seen in previous cases, specially the ones involving close encounters, the nature of UFOs and the behavior of their occupants stands far away from what is usually considered as angelic or even divine. Unless, of course, you go with the pack that think that UFOs are demonic...

Invisible - powerfull weapons? Events such as the Arkansas massive bird death are uncommon, but not unheard of. Checking William Corliss' website I found the following information from his Science Frontiers newsletter (January/February 1999): "Late October, 1998. Tacoma, Washington. About 300...

Yes, the world will end in May to many people, as it has ended for other in different years, months and days. For many the world ended in the Indian Ocean tsunami or in the wake of hurricane Katrina. The apocalypse is with us frequently, but not in the worldwide fashion those religious trash...

As I've tried to explain in my previous posts in this forum, I think that one of the main frontiers in investigating the paranormal is the human mind/consciousness. The human being is the only constant in all the manifestations and investigating, for instance, the UFO phenomena will certainly...

The problem is that some of the most outspoken skeptics often give that sensation. That doesn't mean that all skeptics are arrogant or that, on the other side, all believers are idiots. People should be intellectually honest and acknowledge that, though we have amassed an amazing body of...

People have a strong inclination towards manicheistic thinking - things are either its good or bad, real or imaginary. When I speak with people who have an interest in paranormal phenomena, most of the times I end being labeled as a skeptic simply because I don't take things for their face value...

Sure I'm an agnostic and my reasoning is, as much as possible, based on evidence and the scientific methodology (that may make me a skeptic of sorts). What I find impossible is for someone to have a "mind free of magical beliefs". The sheer concept is an utopia. I think that our mechanism of...

I have a deep respect for those who have a religious belief. That's a right that every human being has. Nevertheless, that can't stop me or anyone else from expressing doubts about the foundations of such credences. A court of law calls witnesses to stand before a judge and or jury and present...

"Dark Skies" was a miserable X-Files rehash with some bad acting and an absurd script. I went through the gruelling experience of seeing the first episode and immediately decided to spare myself the trauma of seeing the rest of the show.

They always said that Lego was the best toy in the world. I guess it's hard to disagree after seeing such an amazing job reconstructing the inner workings of the Antikythera Mechanism. Lego could pick up the idea and sell the Antikythera building kit :)

If only the UFO problem could be solved by going through the deep jungle in an African mountain...

And the same applies to contemporary UFO reports. Even with possible physical traces and radar data associated to the sighting report, the thruth (or truths) of the matter still elude us. The fact remains: there are reports of anomalous occurrences, dating from the 19th century backwards, that...

You're totally right. The quality of intelligence services has decayed in the past decades, specially due to excess confidence in technology. Drones and phone/internet communication interception are great, but the deterioration of field work with real spies on the spot means that many bases are...

We may have read different things on the subject, but if all intelligence agencies in the world knew that Iraq had WMDs do you really think that the US and Britain would be the only ones interested in an invasion? What most countries agreed upon was that continuous inspection from the IAEA was...

I think the US media seems to have done their brainwashing of the public very well! The invasion of Iraq was a total scam. The US clearly manipulated intelligence data to prove their point in front of the UN saying that Iraq had weapons of mass destruction and was harboring Al-Qaeda terrorists...
