It is a theory which crops up from time to time, and it has never been a fore-runner in terms of explaining what these things actually are (that prize goes to the aliens) but it is nonetheless a fascinating one which would explain much. For instance, humanlike appearence. They could be what we...

We have a true believer in our midsts!

I just saw it tonight. It's not getting great reviews but I really liked it. Pure Gilliam, and just a weird, enjoyable ride. Not for people who expect answers - kind of like the ufo phenonemon:rolleyes:

Very good point! We really shouldn't be arguing about the origin of all this. maybe it doesn't even matter in the end. Perhaps their existence is one which is a fluid motion which we cannot even comprehend, one which ocilates through different levels of meaning. Sounds nuts, I know, but perhaps...

Jokes aside, if anyone was to see a book with that title, there would be a few sniggers. Just the way it is. No offence:rolleyes:

Yes, but it obviously had a precidence. It wasn't just dreamed up. It was more like an expression of the feeling at the time. Usually, that is how fiction, even science fiction, works. Ahead of it's time, yes, but still adressing a feeling of the time. Still, not mid nineteenth century. I accept...

Is there any solid evidence for extraterrestrial life. Not saying that it is definitely a phenonemon that originates from this planet, but whose to say it is extraterrestrial. And, going by evidence, if you bring up the drake equation, it is not evidence, just a well thought out equation, but...

The war of the worlds by HG Wells, the famous canals of mars. i think it was becoming more and more plausible. Remember, people were seeing airships around towards the end of the nineteenth century, and flight was what people saw as the next break through. It is around this time that, I...

I think I saw that movie once ... I mean, I don't watch that sort of thing, I swear:D

Yes, but the high strangeness factor involved in UFO sightings seem to suggest that they are half way between the subjective and the objective, physical manifestations of some description (which may even be Extraterrestrial in origin) which both play on our deep expectations of the unknown...

Here's another one....

UFO experiences are very subjective experiences, and this is one of McKenna's. Just something to talk about. capnG, I don't think that saying that one persons opinion is above someone else, if it is honest and felt as such. So, I don't think that anyone's opinion should be taken above antone...

Perhaps. But my argument is that he might be right, there may be some kind of collective unconsciousness, like what Jung and McKenna describe, and that would require science to have a paradigm shift, and try to think about such things in a different way that isn't just about "this electrical...

All I'm saying is that it's good to keep an open mind on this sort of thing. A critical one, but open all the same. A different sort of interpretation of the world is not necessarily a wrong one. In the words of Obi Wan "Luke, you'll find that many of the truths we cling to depend upon a certain...

All praise the high church of science! Against all other churches other than it's own! Sound familiar......

Okay, I have a little theory that has basis, but You'll probably think is a little improbable. It's a joke. An elaborate joke, perpetrated by extremely powerful people, using powerful methods, but it's joke nonetheless. Who could be behind this? I imagine a Rupert Murdoch character, or someone...

Yeah, I saw that after I posted that:rolleyes: Most of it is pretty accurate. However, and the parts of it that I didn't like I highlighted in the other post. Good analysis, but I think that in some ways it is oversimplistic in it's treatment of America's relationship with Europe. But this is...

Schuyler, I agree with you, but I think that George Bush was stepping too far with his whole "you're either with us or against us" crap. Europe had a right to remain nuetral in that conflict, regardless of the reasons. Europe was opposed to George Bush's policies for the same reason that many...

It's purely hypothetical, but it does seem to fit the facts in a way.
