Most major towns and cities are sited on the banks of large rivers and/or coastal areas. Paris, London, New York and many more are on flood plains. It's a cost/benefit trade-off with flood plains having fertile land and trading access. What's happened in Brisbane can probably happen to most of us.

When I was looking into the background of that thread, the psychic raised a great red flag. There's a history of self-claimed psychics seeking to attach themselves to real tragedies. They make claims that they helped to find the dead or murderers. It's a cynical way to lend credibility by...

I agree that it appears an illogical argument. It's that old line that's been trawled out for decades in smug certainty...'We're just ants to them.' Kaku is the most recent well-known name to use it. The thing is, people make a living studying ants. If ants could communicate, we'd be listening...

As I see it, religion's kinda like an alcoholic or clinical anorexic...impervious to reason. At the same time, a belief in God or some supreme creator wouldn't necessarily take a big hit from aliens showing up. The fundie guys think evolution has been made up to piss them off and would have no...

Have you got a source for this? lol

Wow, that's like five years of beer in one big can. I'd order one, but the milk and veggies would never fit in the fridge. Did you notice the anomalous dimensions of the cylinders? Or this random comparison? Why 'jet engines' and not any other cylindrical object? Also, why the hell are...

Hiya 5hownewZday, you ask some good questionz. 'Disclosure' is like the 'rapture' for elements of the UFO/aliens crowd. It somehow promises transcendence for them. There seems to be this perception that as soon as the US Government confesses that UFOs are aliens, the aliens will overcome their...

If it isn't too late, it'd be good to know what his current perspective is relating to ufology. I particularly enjoy his posts on the UFO lists...probably because I tend to agree with them. At the same time, he's clear about what he disagrees with, yet less clear about the positives in the...

Try looking at it from PD's perspective or put yourself in a similar position? Someone calls up out of the blue and offers business advice and then offers to come to the house and help out? You might be well-meaning and a great prospect. Nevertheless you're a stranger with a story and no...

If you enjoyed that, you might enjoy Ruppelt's 'Report on Unidentified Flying Objects' as an audio book. It's available here...http://librivox.org/the-report-on-unidentified-flying-objects-by-edward-j-ruppelt/ With our 21st Century hindsight, the book is kinda 'multiple-personality,' but well...

This is Odd! Brouwer went on record at the 2007 Press Club....http://www.freedomofinfo.org/national_press_07/general_de_brouwer_statement.pdf It's interesting if you read it more than once. The first time is "OMFG! There's UFOs and hi-tech craft at work over Belgium!" The second time is "Oh...

Aaaargh!! I spend too much time on the internet! In the past couple of months I read about this somewhere. It isn't a hoax as such, but an example of a politician reading something that he hadn't looked at previously. He was set up. If I'm way out on this I can only hope the thread gets...

I went straight to the concluding video to see how the guy changed over the course of the programme. Quite interesting. I've not been a fan of the Khoury case since reading the book and checking some of the details on the internet. The guy was laid up in bed with a head trauma and busted leg as...

This could be a developing meme. I've seen the May date associated with 'rapture' and some 'disclosure' type events involving UFO fly-bys. Maybe the combined forces of internet foolishness are combining for one great pratt-fall in a comedy singularity event?

That's quite a busy forum they have over there and the associates list is quite impressive. The 'four horsemen' are all there too. What puts me off is the notion of it being a 'movement' and advocacy group. I tend towards critical thinking and evidence naturally without being party to an overt...

I just don't know enough to form a definite opinion about the guy. It was Mathias Rath, not Null who sells vitamins as a cure for the symptoms of AIDS in S Africa and it was 2009 not last year when I posted about him. If need be, I'll read up on the guy and get a balanced view. Wikimedia Error...

Man. Who'd be a fish? Death can come from any point in space...at any time...above, below, behind, left and right. Every moment must be like Jamie Lee Curtis in Halloween. These guys probably died from anxiety.

It's only fair to remain open-minded until new information turns up. I still share your point of view there. The whole notion is over-elaborate and relies on the kind of genius we find in average sci-fi. The allegedly alien craft has used mechanical telepathy to send a binary message it had...

You're entitled to rebut my points and on a forum it's expected. From what I gather from this post, you have issues with psychiatry and clinical psychology that colors your judgement. Scott Lilienfield et al have raised valid concerns about clinical practices as they relate to child abuse...

This is Odd! It's odd stuff and seems to have been happening for decades. I've a feeling there are similar cases in Fort's Book of the Damned. Last year around 60 starlings fell down dead on a pavement in England. The only thing these weird incidents seem to share is that there never seems to...
