Maybe so, maybe not... Most academic and research fields are full of 'feuds'. Alot of them can be pretty heated. But people generally stop short of public personal attacks and accusations and write a critique or an alternative theory or publish reseach that disproves the other's work. That's...

I just listened to the interview with Vallee...really interesting and yes some of the things he said surprised me too.

I think Hastings would have a case although it would probably be very costly to pursue. Public slander of someone's career and reputation is unacceptable (even if you think your Daddy is infallible). There is an adult and legal way to deal with contentious issues. Mr Carlson wrote a book to...

Hi all I don't pretend to be very well educated on this debate but I think this article is very important not only to the issue of global warming etc but for the nature and objectivity of scientific research today. It takes courage for a man of this stature to take such a public position and...

I agree with you about this Martina. I have read his first book. It's a bizarre story yet some of it rings true strangely enough. If it is true it has massive implications for our understanding of the 'cover-up'. I did find his main protagonist (basically himself) to be irritatingly and...

I have been away and not checked the forums for a while and so have only come across this thread now. I completely agree with Tom that the footage from the moon landing is questionable. I am pretty convinced of that. That does not mean I think we have never landed on the moon or even that we...

I heard from a friend who's a UFO reseacher in Germany that he had received an email from Carlson arguing at length about how Hastings and Salas were wrong etc. He was was pretty suspicious at getting an unsolicited email from this stranger and basically just ignored it. Whatever point this guy...

I disagree. James put blood, sweat and tears into I Know What I Saw and his motivation is genuinely to get this subject across to a mainstream audience. I don’t think he’s made any serious financial gain from it (if any at all). But good luck to him if he can. if someone puts a couple of...

That's your call. I believe many of the cases were discussed at the NPC in 2007. However I expect alot more detail and material in this book- maybe previously undiscussed testimonies? Some of the reviews mentioned on the Amazon site are from serious academics and professionals (not a UFO...

I am really excited about Leslie Kean’s new book: UFOs: Generals, Pilots and Government Officials Go On the Record I think a lot of the people featured are those involved in the Novermber 2007 National Press Club event but there may be others. Leslie is a journalist brave enough to take an...

I recently listened to Yvonne Smith being interviewed about her work with people experiencing abductions. She is a qualified hypnotherapist working in California. Due to her work she is using hypnosis for many issues and she charges for her time (as is of course her right as a trained...

Lance It's clear, but I still think it's polarising and unhelpful to throw out terms like that - just to clarify: are Parviz Jafari and Fife Syminton (Iran UFO 1976 and former govenor of Arizona) members of the Saucer Jesus cult because they both have witnessed UFOs and believe they are not...

Lance I think it's a blanket term used to dismiss serious study of this subject. It lumps everyone who has come to the conclusion that this is a real phemonemon, possibly extraterrestrial in origin, in one basket - from the authors of the French Cometa report to a follower of the Billy Meier...

Lance it's not the first time you have referred to this 'Saucer Jesus' metaphor in a post. I have no issue with you arguing your point (quite often I agree or at least find it challenging)...that's not my point - using a dismissive term like this just seems inappropriate. Surely you can just...

Lance what is this 'Saucer Jesus' you keep reffering to? Are implying that because I (or others) think there are enough reports of unidentified flying objects over the last few decades to force me to consider we have and are being visited by intelligent beings from elsewhere we are part of some...

If anyone is interested, Corso's story in his own words is now available to download for free on the Open Minds forum here I downloaded it but haven't had a chance to read it yet. Regards Keiko

James Carrion comes to mind. Now that he has quit MUFON he thinks it was all a US psy-ops or something. This was discussed in a previous thread. here is Billy Cox's article about it: A Lone Rider Goes Over the Hill Regarding Travis Walton - in his book he has dedicated quite a large...

Hi Micheal I have enjoyed your posts on the forums so thanks for the background on what sparked your interest in all this. Despite the differences of opinion there really is alot of data and info on this subject. It is usually a personal sighting/experience or one from someone you are close...

'Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence'. I believe it was Budd Hopkins who 'challenged' Sagan about this quote when they were both guests on a radio program. Budd H turned it around by saying 'Extraordinary claims require extraordinary investigation'. I think that was pretty...

Lance, thanks for the link. I read the article and got half way through the comments but had to call it a day - it's past my bedtime:-) But before I retire...here are some initial thoughts... Yes it is a bit strange that Marcell would say this. However, there could be a reason for it -...
