Or more possibly the increase of 'Chinese lanterns' that are released now. I'm sure these types of reports will die down when the general public becomes more familiar with their profile.

Here is a link to a sociologists blog that I stumbled upon when researching my recent dissertation. He has some interesting ideas on combining the two disciplines of sociology and parapsychology that may be of interest to some of the paracast listeners. Eric Ouellet

Just to add another point of view to the debate, whatever 'scientific verification' there has been in RV, its is still highly contested knowledge. Independent examination of the topic requires acknowledging the problematic aspects of the interpretation of RV sessions as well as other aspects of...

Without wanting to speak for Schuyler, if you substitute the first 'more' for 'some' and the second 'most' for 'more' the paragraph makes much more(!) sense (Sorry Schuyler). Although I have no supporting evidence other than talking to some Christians and other of faith which would corroborate...

I'm not sure I would really agree with the idea that 'lots' of scientists feel they have solved or are on the brink of solving 'Reality'. Certainly the headline grabbing articles in popular scientific journals such as the New Scientist would seem to support this, but I feel they are often (and...

/cheer! That didn't hurt now did it!? Loftus and Palemrs work has showed us how pliable even 'normal' memory is. The classic 'automobile' experiment has been replicated (including by myself and probably every undergraduate in the social sciences) to certainly make eye witness testimony a...

Lance, its the same reason I don't go onto a psychology message board and start posting why all psychology is 'crap'. I respect the opinions of others and don't pretend to have all the 'answers'. And I'm sorry if I have offended you by pointing out your 'debating style' is a bit confrontational.

You may want to read my 12,404 dissertation on sociological aspects of the UFO phenomenon before you make that assessment. I use a neo-Schutzian analysis(mainly based on his ideas of 'multiple realities' and 'typification' if your familiar with the works of Berger and Luckmann 'The social...

Any time I can be of service just ask! Now try to post a comment without treating everyone on this board as some homogeneous group that subscribes to the same belief systems. Seriously try it, or would that deflate your ego just too much?

I don't see why being skeptical (as I am) makes you 'outside' but the asshole fits well!

I curious, Tommy have you actually listened to their podcasts? You may not like the humor used ( a subjective judgment of course ), but the guest they interview have been fantastic. Jeffs and Jeremy attempt to probe outside the 'UFO field' into areas as diverse as sociology, ethnobiology...

Well I hope the prick that did post on the paratopia boards, has the decency to come froward and apologies, though I somehow doubt it.

While I agree with your sentiments Gen, 're-traumatized' seems slightly strong. Someone that appears on a popular podcast (twice), was going to appear on Ritzmann podcast, is in the process of making a documentary of themselves, has a blog of their experiences, and makes two thread about...

There is a fascinating podcast by The Clueless One and Jeff Ritzmann over at Paratopia with Dr Dennis McKenna on this and other aspects of UFO / DMT parallels. Paratopia number 7 And Welcome!

Just taking these point actually the 'majority' do not believe in the 'ETH' (Paranormal Beliefs Come (Super)Naturally to Some ) but do have more believe in the 'paranormal' (i.e haunting, an extra dimensional believe if you will). I know this is just one poll but there plenty of other social...

What a great phrase! Fort would be proud of you.:)

Lance, I would consider myself a 'skeptic' as well, but as a skeptic I have to consider the possibility that that what ever was seen that day could be something 'unknown' (including extraterrestrial, however unlikely). I don't think anyone here, is suggesting that this is a definitive case for...

Brett Holman's article is in the November 2008 issue of the Fortean Times, but I'm not sure about Huffers work. Holmans article does mention that at the time of publishing the article he was contacted by Huffer so I'm assuming its about the same time (I haven't read Huffers work). If you cannot...

If Dr Freidman is to be interviewed again can you ask to him address the article that was published in the Fortean times, by Brett Holman ,demolishing the Fish model of Betty Hills starmap using the updated observations from the Hippacros satellite. Charles Huffer of MUFON also came to the same...

Seriously could you be more patronising if you tried? If you would just drop the condescending tone and actually engage with people on this forum, you may have found that your contribution was, dare I day it, welcomed ,but not necessarily agreed with. I would certainly be interested in your...
