    "It's faked!" Something that burns my tail - a discussion about skepticism.

    Yes, I see that but I think there is a lot to be said for the impressions an experiencer has that can not be expressed by speech or writing. For instance, I could write for two hours about the Sistine Chapel and never manage to capture or convey the experience or the viscerally inspired...

    "It's faked!" Something that burns my tail - a discussion about skepticism.

    I think I both agree and disagree with taking the most mundane explanation possible. I think you have to assess the plausibility/probability ratio of a given explanation before hitching your wagon to it. Something like "Swamp Gas" is absurd. I am sure that we can all agree that it carries a...

    "It's faked!" Something that burns my tail - a discussion about skepticism.

    How so? Should there be a separate thread on that topic? I have read the book at least 3 times and apart from the Belgian photo stuff have found it to be fantastic. What parts are a fallacy?

    Sirius Disclosure Documentary

    Personally, I find it impossible that we share DNA with a creature that developed completely independently on a far away world. i would find it more likely that an alien life form not have DNA as a building block but rather an entirely different set of life governing principles all together...

    oklahoma city hit hard by tornado

    The events of Friday are staggering. The tornado that hit just south of El Reno is now classified as an EF5 and is also now the widest tornado in history at 2.6 miles wide with wind velocities reaching 295mph. That's 2 EF5 tornados in 11 days in roughly the same area. Moore is within a 20-25...

    Breaking News: vallee 40 years "behind the times"

    Bassett does as more to discredit the field of Ufology as then he does to forward it. Hence the field suffers from his involvement.

    About 30% in some neighborhoods. There are also above ground shelters made of steel reenforced concrete. The main issue is the high water table.

    oklahoma city hit hard by tornado

    I am from a town in Oklahoma about 15 minutes from Moore. I have friends and family affected by this recent tornado and the one in 1999. I lived in that part of Oklahoma from 1976-1995. Tornados were a way of life in the summer months. My childhood home was struck by a tornado so violently that...

    Is Ufology too tolerant or too judgmental?

    Neither do I. I suggest that we drop the B.S. here. Clearly we have rubbed each other raw in the past. We have similar interests, and I often find myself agreeing with you in principle. But, I do not care for your cyber personality nor your methods of expressing some opinions. That doesn't mean...

    Bob Bigelow Busts out in Bloomberg Businessweek

    I think this is a brilliant idea and I really applaud him for pushing towards that goal. As an avid supporter of the concept of space based manifest destiny, I think business is the only way mankind will push into that limitless frontier. Bigelow has already has proven that he knows how to turn...
