An engine only has extra parts because it can't move around on its own. If it could, then perhaps our cars would be just a shell around an engine. Hm that's definitely a possibility, but I don't really buy it in the same way that I don't buy the mogul balloon explanation for Roswell. Cosmos...

Awesome show, the Kecksburg case is very compelling. What are forum members' feelings on the "military experiment" explanation of this case? If we look at the fact that 1) Some ufos appear to be physical craft, and 2) Military groups develop their weapons and vehicles in secret, then I...

The entire mountain of what we know is resting on a bed of thin air. So I do, in fact, believe that we don't 'know' anything at all. Years ago I wrote a bunch of short stories to try and illustrate in concise ways very complex topics. I wrote a story to illustrate this particular problem...

You're right. We should all switch our discussions to football and movie reviews and our rich and interesting pop culture. Why would people discuss something as trite as a massive incomprehensible mystery?

Here's a weird possibility that occurred to me, associated with my earlier theory. I haven't heard this idea expressed anywhere, as far as I know. If the human machine is not born with a soul, but can potentially create a soul through its own life experiences and struggles, then what is a...

OMG that's really funny!

Hi all, another great show. I really like Mr Corrales, one of the level-headed gang. I agree with the hosts when they pose the possibility that there's another element influencing our behavior culturally (regarding ufos) besides the respectability factor. The media talks about...

No, but that's a good question. My motivation isn't to defend arguments that I don't necessarily believe in. My motivation is to continually draw the distinction between what we know and what we don't know. The vast majority of the world fits in the category of "we don't know", and it's my...

I agree. The mysterious things in this world can all be explained through the magic of terminology. Have you ever wondered how the entire known universe sprang from the big bang, essentially from nothing in no time for no reason? It's because of a phenomenon called "Antichronospacial...

Since we're making a list, here's another possibility that I'm fond of: 7) Souls are manufactured by the human machine through its life experience. The soul does not exist prior to birth, but can (potentially) be forged by the human machine and exist beyond death.

from the article: "His eyes are normal but his brain cannot process the information they send in, rendering him totally blind." According to my understanding, the part of his brain that processes visual information does not work. Perhaps another part of the brain has shouldered the work of...

I agree. I think don Juan in the Castaneda books said it best: "The universe is predatorial in nature".

Here's a link to the BBC article: BBC NEWS | Health | Blind man navigates maze Summary: Man has no brain activity in his visual cortex, and yet navigates unaided through a maze of obstacles without having conscious awareness of navigating the maze. One of the most interesting quotes in...

This point of view is the one generally taken by those in the more affluent sections of society. Humans are not simply "free", as you say. First of all, existence has the obvious parameters that restrict human freedom. Gravity, for example. I'd really like to fly up to the top of my house...

Well said. In my opinion, when discussing paranormal topics, this is a theme that people should strive to keep in mind. Often the fact that something appears impossible is evidence of the narrow scope of one's imagination rather than a reflection of reality.

Absolutely fascinating episode. These are some of my favorite episodes, in-the-field investigations of bizarre phenomena taking place right now. I'm gonna tell 2 anecdotal stories that I think might have some relevance to the stories Philips is telling: Years ago, I travelled to Marfa TX...

No need to consider the situation so narrowly. It's not either "Obama giving televised disclosure" or "suspended animation". How about simply placing the investigation of ufos somewhere on the government's priority list? It doesn't have to be anywhere near the top, it just has to be there...

I think it would be nearly impossible for *no one* to know the name, members or location of this organization (or organizations). I think it would be more logical to assume that knowledge about this organization is scattered and fragmented among various people in the government and military. As...

I would love to hear a show where you delve into some of these ideas. I sometimes feel like you guys are wading in the baby pool when you're certainly strong enough to take a lap or two out into the deep end.

Great show, liked the guy. Here's some thoughts on some of the subjects discussed. Regarding the idea of disclosure, and that the government has nothing to disclose: This idea has been brought up many times on the show. I agree that the government (as in the president/congress/etc) probably...
