OKAY HERE GOES Ron… Some research for you to kick things off: The Battelle Study (5 May 1955 - Blue Book Special Report No. 14) (http://www.ufocasebook.com/pdf/specialreport14.pdf) There are number of important things to come out of this research. First, of 2199 cases analysed the number...

Hey there Decker - You sound like a very knowledgeable and interesting guy! I listened with interest to your recent Paracast interview. If I have time I’ll have to go back and look up the Dark Matters radio archives. But, you’re right of course, the current crop of JREFers does not hold a...

Hi manxman - Yep, I certainly remember you. Hard to forget those very few who actually attempted to stand up to them instead of being bullied out of the room! But don't get me started on RoboT... He (in my opinion) is one of the lowest forms of humanity and I simply cannot understand how he is...

LOL. Yeah perhaps I should! My experience over at the JREF has jaded me somewhat and has perhaps made me a little over-sensitive… I don’t mind that the JREF speaks out about such things, it is just their methodology that concerns me – they often seem to use precisely the same pseudoscientific...

LOL. I totally understand the sentiment tyder… They do that and more. They are bullies, pure and simple. They know they cannot compete on evidence and logical argument, so instead they try to bully their opponents into submission. Arguing in their forums actually makes you fearful for your...

For nearly two years I have argued the case for UFOs over at the JREF and I am interested to hear if others might have had – or know of - an experience that might be similar to my own concerning their tactics. I started a thread (among others) titled “UFOs: The Research, The Evidence” and I...

Just listening to the Mike Clelland interview and a question is raised by David about (essentially) "Sleep sex". It is not unusual. There are support groups. It is a normal, if not "usual" human experience. High strangeness in relation to UFOs or aliens should not be attributed in such cases...

Here here! Well said.

Oooo... David, I was only trying to make a pointy point to SoCalGNX - I do realise that you had to walk off for good reason. That's why I started this thread in the first place, trying to get a discussion going around positive ways of overcoming your patent frustration and dissillusionment and I...

David, I am truly sorry to hear you so disillusioned. Trust me, you really are doing a wonderful job and most definately NOT wasting your time. I at least appreciate what you are doing and the effort that must go into the whole enterprise. At some level I could sense your disillusionment and my...

SoCaGNX wrote <o></o> “History is written by the victors.” <o></o> What has that got to do with my post? Besides, there are many examples where history was written by the “defeated”. Dogmatic folklaw is a dangerous master. <o></o> “Philosophy depends on what regime is in power.”...

This would seem the logical starting point for confirmation of Corso's claims. But of course the Corso believers and the conspiracy theorists would contend that the history of the products in question would look legitimate despite their supposed UFO origins and further, I suspect if one were to...

I have been a long time listener to The Paracast and have enjoyed the exposition of the many paranormal issues David and Gene have explored over the past years. I heartily congratulate them on tackling the topic with serious commitment and an overriding concern for the “truth”. <o></o>...

I agree. One of the most respected research scientists in this area is Elizabeth Loftus (University of Washington). It is instructive to read some of her introductory papers on the subject (for example here ). I am not saying that abductions are not occurring, clearly there is a phenomenon that...

You're right. I know little of Greer except his overarching message. If what you are saying about him is true then that is a real pity because he IS then doing a great deal of harm to the "cause". What a shame! James Fox? He was behind Out of The Blue then? But is making films real advocacy...

I have had some experience with "orbs". 1. When I was about 5 years old a green luminescent table-tennis sized ball entered my bedroom, floating through the open door at about 3 - 4 feet off the ground, did a right angle turn and proceeded to float toward my bed. I was terrified and simply...

Has anyone actually tested Dr Greer on what he says - or do you all just consider him a little wacky because of the way he goes about things? Or perhaps because he is trying to solicit money? But is it not the case that most (if not all) guests on the paracast are trying to sell their own book...

Umm...excuse me guys. I hate to get in the way of a good ol' stoush. But on this issue you BOTH are doing a disservice to serious scientific research into the area of UFOs and the paranormal. I think ALL parties should take a deep breath, swallow their pride and rediscover their powers of...
