I think the difference matters quite a bit. Bassett and others in exopolitics base their entire agenda on the notion that aliens from another planet have travelled here, and the US government amongst other entities is covering this up. Three likely parts of this idea are that a.) a major aspect...

By their nature, certain elements of the paranormal are likely to engender political thought and discussion. On the most literal level, as discussed in this thread, UFOs have been inextricably linked to government secrecy by many ufologists and some of the public since 1947. As Richard Dolan...

She's a creationist. Not much more needs to be said.

My question is: How did the airships of 1897 get remembered and revived by ufologists in the later 20th century, and by whom? Fort mentions at least one other airship case in the 1910s, but I don't remember if he is responsible for passing the 1897 wave off to later ufologists.

The book I'm referring to is the Roswell Dig Diaries that I commented on in the OP. I don't have their new book.

I am listening to the Carey and Schmitt Paracast interview now. I am somewhat gratified to hear that they come off at least as egotistical and whiny in the interview as they do in the book. So I guess they're planning another dig?

I gotta say, I thought the back-and-forth you got into with Richard Dolan, which was political and altpolitical (conspiracy theory, parapolitics, whatever you wanna call it) was one of the best things that the paracast has aired. I also think that it is impossible to do UFOs without some...

I'm a professional archaeologist, so it is a natural I'd read the SCI-FI Channel published report of the the 2002 CRM project, funded by the channel with Schmitt and Carey as their Roswell/UFO advisors (I haven't listened to the recent paracast with them, yet). I am going to work up a more...

"'Hidden' species may be surprisingly common" A big impact I could think of is that this shakes up the fossil record a bit in terms of using bones as indicators of species. But rather than decreasing the number of species of say hominids, what it might do is increase the number that are...

"'Hidden' species may be surprisingly common" The headline is misleading. It's really about how classification based on visual clues increasingly does not jive with genetic classification. If anything, it deflates future claims of lots of species being discovered. Not because they aren't...

Everyone always talked about how Kolchak was the main inspiration for the X-Files. But as soon as I saw the show, I immediately remembered Project UFO (though in my head, it was called Project Bluebook), except that it had piss-poor production values and two dull Air Force officers instead of a...

This is the great conundrum with the black triangles. So many people have seen them in mass sightings, and a few have photographed them. And on the one hand, they seem at least sort of like a secret military project. And yet, two decades with no additional info or declassification? Flying them...

That of course is the problem. Aurora would be radically different than any of the other secret planes in that they all got outed in no more than a decade or so after testing began. U2 - First flight 1955. Public 1960 (admittedly due to shootdown). 5 years secret. SR-71 - First flight...

I'd have to go back and look at the list, but I really enjoyed the Dolan interview.

I also vote Vallee (and I did so in the poll, don't want to be counted twice).

I'm going to need to think about it. But I'd say that whether I'd vote for him or not, Menzel would be a better candidate for that list than Klass.

Any evidence it exists outside of one of the Popular Science/Mechanics articles of this type that appear about every five years? Or that it existed over twenty years ago? I see that they are still touting paintings of Aurora, going on 20 years now.

Something like half the Flying Saucer sightings in 1947 were of multiple discs, lights, or other things. Today we tend to think of single UFOs, but this was not always the case.

It wouldn't just be lost on most Coast to Coast listeners, but would in my opinion be rejected. Tonnies, from what I've heard on various internet audio shows, comes across with the voice of a rational educated person who is discussing topics he finds interesting or compelling, and not just...

It's likely his real affidavit, I'd bet. But I don't make much of it. On my blog, I broke it down to the most important parts and compared it to previous elements of the story, and it seems sketchy. Here is the link Spooky Paradigm: Analyzing Haut's Roswell Affidavit
