Civilization II and X-Com, with love for Master of Orion II. Also had fun with Star Control, Unreal Tournament, Doom, and Wolfenstein 3D. I don't play games much anymore.

I suspect they'll also have problems, in terms of being a TV show, with the reactive nature of ufology, rather than the proactive ghost hunting. As I put it in my blog http://spookyparadigm.blogspot.com/2008/01/dueling-ufo-hunter-tv-shows-and-why.html

Here is a much more detailed description of the show http://www.sliceofscifi.com/2008/01/17/ufo-hunters-on-the-history-channel/

At least one episode has that guy taping "UFOs" near an airport approach over Lake Erie http://www.wired.com/entertainment/theweb/news/2008/01/erie_ufos The commercials highlight cantankerous yelling (though the longer preview looks more serious). http://www.history.com/minisites/ufo I'm...

I'm trying to remember where I saw that, but I believe it is video from elsewhere.

Speaking of Maussan, here he is hawking a years old (note the WTC) Sci-Fi channel promo video on Mexican TV. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TV8p_1zqb0o&feature=related

It's a Wall Street Journal piece, a notoriously right-wing rag that as of January 1 became part of Rupert Murdoch's holdings. The piece was intended to play on and reinforce the meme that Democrats are crazy people, to sell newspapers to its primarily GOP readership and/or serve the GOP the...

Ok then.

The OP uses the term paralysis, because I assume you are guessing sleep paralysis. Hufford's book book on sleep paralysis The Terror that Comes in the Night includes numerous interview transcripts of sleep paralysis events, and yours fits in perfectly. The presence, the image, the unnatural...

From the Paul Kimball thread That reminds me. One major media outlet finally covered her story, and now she's named a lot of the names (or rather, put them up as pictures without technically naming the names). And no one else wants to touch it, at least in the US. Bradblog (see the...

If correct, I think this says a lot about the remote viewing programs tried over the years.

Scientific study of religion has exisited for quite some time, in anthropology, history, sociology, religious studies, and more recently in neurology and cognitive sciences.

It is peer reviewed (note the discussion of reviewers, and the need for four copies, a standard practice for peer reviewed journals), and the editor contact info is on their website. http://www.blackwellpublishing.com/submit.asp?ref=0021-8294&site=1

I'd bet that what there is is smaller and less impressive than what most would guess. Jay Rockefeller and others made noise a couple of years ago about what might be a black network of surveillance or ASAT satellites, but if there was ever a manned component, I'll bet you it went away by the...

BTW, please note that Bader's article did end up getting peer-reviewed and published in Bader, Christopher 2003 Supernatural Support Groups: Who are the UFO Abductees and Ritual Abuse Survivors? Journal for the Scientific Study of Religion 42(4): 669 - 678.

Also, DBTrek, if you read the article I linked to, it notes that there are substantial differences between ritual satanic abuse cases and alien abduction cases. For example, the prevalence of multiple personality disorder in satanic abuse cases, the substantially different demographics (gender...

People with interest in the UFO subject, be they passive believers or members of ufo groups, do have higher education levels (note, that's education, not intelligence) than the populace as a whole. That has been repeatedly shown with larger sample sizes (Denzler's work comes to mind immediately...

I think the OP is well worded, and specifically condemns many of the more ridiculous ideas that were raised later in the thread. As for not being able to have it both ways, re: Katrina vs. 9/11, incompetence isn't the same as indifference. From the perspective of, say, anyone in the Project...

Listening to this one right now. Information about Air Force reaction or incidents in 1952 and beyond is interesting. But I'll tell you, listening to this, it sounds so ... hokey. The best 1950s US of A jet weaponry toe-to-toe against apparently quite frail spaceships, armed with disintegration...
