Great show, just finished listening. You know, I play in a band occasionally and the bass player happens to be a commercial pilot. When I first started playing in this band I asked him about seeing UFOs while flying. He responded with a "no", and explained that you really don't have to watch...

I also lean toward the opinion that some sort of strong emotionally-based belief is a factor here, rather than adherence to a particular word that happens to be a name of a guy who lived a few thousand years ago. But then again who knows, I can't deny that I see a "spiritual war" element that...

I did mention anecdotal evidence. I also cited several documented cases of memories being recovered through hypnosis, which were then confirmed as factual memories. Exactly as you cited documented cases of false memories being recovered. It does not matter that the study I cited is...

You're right, sorry about that. I get fired up I guess.

Yes, words are easy to say. But they don't have to reflect reality, and they don't have to have any content. I have no hatred for skeptics, and in my opinion you give yourself way too much credit by considering yourself one. You don't provide information, you just use debate tactics. In the...

By the way, after a little research I think the documentary I cited may be a Discovery Channel documentary, not BBC. It's been years since I watched it. I can't find it online anywhere, on most video sites it's been removed because of copyright issues. However, luckily I happen to own the...

Let me make sure I understand this correctly: You're criticizing me for citing a documentary, and to support your position you cite an article? Were you one of the scientists in this study? I'll bet I know your answer! So.... you got your information secondhand, just as I did. But...

You don't know what you're talking about. Inform yourself before you start playing know-it-all. You can start with the BBC documentary on hypnosis. Hypnosis has been proven to work, plain and simple. It can retrieve lost memories and create dramatic altered states. It is not 100% fool-proof...

Here's an area of obscurity in the Mike C case that I think he himself might be able to shed some light on: In some of your statements you say, "So-and-so attempted to hypnotized me, but it was unsuccessful." I think some people (myself included) are not quite sure which of these is the...

That's weird, it happens slightly different with me. On the occasions when I've recognized I am dreaming, I immediately start flying. It's not even a conscious choice really, I just feel this overwhelming urge to fly that sorta takes over. I don't think I can remember a single time when I've...

In the end it got pretty accusatory regarding other people in the field. It was looking kinda ugly, you wouldn't have wanted to be there :)

I'd like to add something about this whole discussion that's going on regarding Mike C's credibility (this one turned out long, so be warned): For those of us who've reached the basic conclusion that paranormal phenomena cannot all be dismissed as delusions and hoaxes, this means that...

I've had that one also! I've also had a very peculiar variation of that one, which is: Being back in school, but my memories are totally different. I have different friends, different classes, but they are all accessible in my memory. I can even remember where my dorm room is (even though...

Most people believe that dreams are nothing more than the effluent from the day coming up to the surface or something like that, but I have a strong feeling that some dreams in particular have a real significance. So I thought it might be interesting to have a thread on it. I'd agree with...

Great show, thanks Mike for sharing. If I had my way the guests on the Paracast would be 75% experiencers. Regarding the forum, I'm kinda shocked at the general level of suspicion towards Mike. His demeanor doesn't fit the typical "ufo celebrity" personality at all, and his stories aren't all...

I really think, judging from Lazar's behavior, he is either telling the truth or is some sort of government disinfo-type person. I lean towards the second one. I say this because in my opinion there are recognizable psychological traits associated with people who make up ufo stories. People...

(I only put abductees in quotes because some people want to be called experiencers, etc.) I recently read an article on Anomalist.com which claims that abductees have been able to stop their abductions by calling on Jesus's name. Now I've always been very skeptical of this claim, but before I...

Listen, I am actually informed on the subject, despite your quote of mine. Sometimes I make an attempt not to be cocky, so that I can engage in a constructive dialogue. That sort of behavior may be unfamiliar in the debate arena, where "intellectuals" battle it out to see their point of view...

That may be true, I'm talking about a subject that I'm certainly not an expert on. But would you say that a company like Lockheed would not profit from an endless war on someone else's land? I'm not being facetious, I'd really like to know your opinion.

I was making an assumption by saying that tech would CERTAINLY be used by the military. I appreciate being called out on my assumptions. Now about alien technology. First, you laid out (and I quote) "the real reasons" we went into Iraq. After this I stated that I only partially agree, because...
