On the contrary, I admit things look pretty bleak, but still (as corny as this is going to sound) as much as we are violent and selfish creatures, we are a tenacious lot, we survive, we still feel the need to explore, to understand our universe, and we still are capable of love and empathy and...

Technology is a powerful tool, but it is only that, a tool. I think in the end coming closer to an understanding of this topic will be as much a matter of advancing "ourselves" as it will be of advancing our technology. We are a technological species, to be sure, so maybe we can do both in...

You know, we have two HUGE detainment problems in the US. 1.) The problem of what is effect a Federal gulag, where hundreds if not thousands of resident aliens have been detained, denied access to legal counsel, and their names and detainment itself kept secret, in the period following 9/11...

I like the episodes which make me think, whether they be "credible" guests or perhaps slightly more fantastical ones. As an example, I first found the paracast when looking for material on the Skinwalker Ranch and I loved that episode, if only because the subject was so fascinating- even if I'm...

Good points, and I suppose I was a little harsh with Stanton. I think I used him as a substitute for my frustration with the "nuts and bolts" view generally, and the way we place hard science on a pedestal, which was a little unfair (although I don't think *too* unfair, since he is without a...

Stan Friedman. You know, he's great. He's a trooper, he really is, we need more people like him out there on the front lines. But that's why he annoys me most of all, because he's so close to being the "perfect" frontrunner, yet he's so damn entrenched in his "nuts and bolts" view. And...

This may be going off on a tangent, but I was interested in the part of the show where the nature of the entities/phenomenon was discussed. I think it's important to keep in mind that there may not be *one* UFO phenomenon, or at least one set of entities or general cause to the phenomenon. So...

Gary McKinnon is full of it. When you listen to his interviews where he goes into detail, it turns out he's basically just a script-kiddie, using some commercial programs to log in to government servers 'wardialling' style. He freely admits the lack of sophistication of his methods. I have an...

Wow, I can't wait! FWIW, here are my suggestions for questions or topics I'd like him to speak about: 1.) The "Purple Justice" case. Specifically, what motivations does he think government authorities would have for "simulating" a UFO experience? He has touched on this issue in at least one...

I just came across the story of Dyatlov Pass in an SFgate editorial, and it is truly perplexing and even a little frightening. The short version (I know, there never is a short version in these things, so please go ahead and read up on it yourselves) is that, in 1959, 9 students and experienced...

jritzmann - Thanks for the link of the Gulf Breeze 6, I had not seen that one before and it contained some information which I hadn't previously come across. Information on the web does seem to be pretty scarce. I was able to find the following archived discussion from an old online bbs-type...

OK, apologies for the odd subject title but I really wasn't sure what to call this. Basically, recently on the Paracast Gene has been mentioning the idea that certain UFO incidents, such as the Betty & Barney Hill case, might be attributable to government (or otherwise human) machinations...

Well, here's my two cents. I haven't read this whole monster of a thread, so forgive me if I'm repeating the sentiments of others. I voted to leave the format as it stands. I actually think the success of the Paracast can be attributed to the fact that Gene and David complement each other...

Dunno if anyone's suggested him before, or if this is the right place to post this, but I think Rick Strassman, author of DMT: The Spirit Molecule, would make a great guest. I wouldn't have suggested him, except lately I notice a.) the show has taken a more broad-minded perspective regarding...

I respect Stanton Friedman's work in the field, but I was glad to hear David and Gene talk about their problems with him, and Gene's issues with the Hill case in general, because they echoed my own thoughts. His problem is the same as 99% of authors in the UFO field today- they're just sure...

Well put (although I found his English acceptable). The Earth-is-growing-guy though, sheesh.... He even referred to himself in the third person about a dozen times. I understand it's not my show, and it's not designed to please me specifically, but really- why all the vitriol directed...

I can't watch TV with ads, which is almost all TV sadly. I just get to a state where I start getting annoyed and angry when every 5 seconds there's an ad break, and I don't watch TV to get annoyed and angry. I don't get cable either (except the basic chans that come with a preexisting cable)...

Self aggrandizement would, again, account for some cases, but not all- many contactees remain anonymous, and telling their stories brings them much pain and social or economic hardship.

I would rule out drugs and EM warfare experiments (not for every case, but as a general explanation for all cases) because they would require a conspiracy of a geographic and temporal scale beggaring belief almost as much as the "government in league with aliens" conspiracy. Further, the...

I don't actually know how old the site is, but the reports go up to 2005 and the commentary on the site is dated as of 2007. I learned of the site through a 1-month old newspaper article I happened to come across...
