That's what keeps it interesting. Personally, I don't think the answers we seek are to be found in old reports or newspaper morgues or (heaven forbid) government documents, but people do regularly dig up really interesting things from such places. I particularly like the work Michael Swords is...

My arm chair is very comfy. Consider me part of the problem if you like. It's a free country. Well... you know what I mean. And good luck. My prediction is it will lead to some interesting insights, just not the ones you expect. :)

Interesting topic. I didn't know about Tom Adams' work on this. I don't know how far I would trust the accuracy of helicopter identification by random observers. I'm a bit of an aircraft watcher for several reasons, and I'm not sure how well I would score on a test of my ability to discern types...

Yeah, Mel's Hole was a fun one. I listened to that stuff on a cassette Walkman because it had good AM reception, or at least better than anything else I had. Fifteen to eighteen years ago, most people had never seen the internet, a megapixel camera was a big deal and cost as much as a plane...

Heh! Guess it's obvious how much attention I pay to C2C. Insomnia has never been a problem for me.

Harmonic emanations from these parts, Chris. Focused through Crestonia, in case that helps. All the best to Brendon. Sounds like he has some strong allies.

Hmmmmm... I wonder... KFC Logo Stunt Now in Google Earth - Google Earth Blog

If JC shows up, it might be worth listening to the highlights. :)

There is so much BS in this field, it should be called a feedlot. Crammed full of bullshitters with some sensible people holding their noses and rolling their eyes.

Grow up.

Thanks you, Burnt. I honestly don't see where all this distortion and confusion is coming from. Vallee's books are, as I mentioned earlier, easy enough for any intelligent person to understand. His writing is always good and often elegant. There is no need for an interpreter. His ideas scare the...

If you are not interested in what Vallee has to say, that's fine, but please don't misrepresent it. Also, I have never had any desire to join any club that would have me as a member. My last post, the last one on page 4, speaks to some of what you said. Vallee doesn't spoon feed anyone any...

Who is it doing the rejecting? I'm not sure what you mean exactly. Back in the "good old days" the nuts and bolts fundamentalist pine for, there were only two options: Flying saucers were either spaceships welded together on another planet and flown here by strange looking creatures, or they...

Constance, you were looking for some kind of summary earlier. I took that to mean you were not familiar with his work. Are you of the opinion that Vallee thinks UFOs are not real? He does not say that anywhere, as far as I know. In fact he says the opposite, in so many words, in Forbidden...

I just looked, and as I thought, a lot of the fun stuff is in Dimensions and Confrontations. They are worth reading just for the excellent field work in them. Yes, Vallee actually goes out and talks to witnesses, measures things, talks to the local authorities, digs into meteorological records...

If you can't be troubled to read any of it, then you probably shouldn't be arguing about it. Read Passport to Magonia. It's old, but still good.

One of the great things about Vallee's work is his writing ability. He is not only a first-class thinker, but his writing is lucid and accessible. He seems to do it effortlessly, but I'm sure it's more a matter of his willingness to do the work required. But then you have to have a clear head...

Responding to these brain farts only encourages more of the same. Is anyone here so bored they need to continue arguing with someone who believes in demons and who says someone like Jacques Vallee is "anti-science"? This genius is indistinguishable from a garden variety troll and deserves no...

I read or maybe saw an interview in which he was asked when he decided to be an actor. I think he said it was when he was in college, and when he told his parents, they were not amused. After giving up on trying to talk him out of it, his father told him he needed to learn to play the accordion...

The really funny thing about all that is, as anyone who has bothered to find and read either edition of Vallee's published journal, "Forbidden Science" will know, Hynek as the senior scientist and Vallee's mentor influenced Vallee's thinking at least as much as he influenced Hynek. Ah well...
