Lance, Since you brought it up and also have it on your Avatar, can you please provide the name of the person who asserts that the Lucci photos were in fact a hoax?

Given the nature of UFO reports, no single case can be called "absolutely positively 100% true". The way I view it, there is testimony from many people all over the world, who appear sane and sincere, who assert they made their observations under conditions which virtually preclude...

Lance, Let's keep personal attacks ("tinfoil hat" etc) out of this discussion. IMO Klass was a nasty old man with no class whatsoever, considering his Machiavellian actions against J.McDonald, Robert Jacobs, Stanton Friedman and others. In a recent podcast Don Ecker described his own...

Lance, I give the same credence to "analyses" by Phil Klass (or Schaeffer etc) which I'd give to say ... Michael Horn's analysis of Billy Meier's case. As far as I'm concerned they have no credibility. And in fact I had read Klass' account of that case and tried to verify his claims that Lucci...

lancemoody, The so called "UFO skeptics" are mostly people trying to uphold orthodox establishment views and have not researched the subject at all (or "researched" it like the late Phil Klass, who you display on your avatar, "explaining" the James Lucci photo - if that's who you consider your...

I assumed it was obvious that I was being sarcastic in my prior post. But let me quote from the "fantastic post" by the eSkeptic folks: And like most other people, we had always heard about the uneducated farmer spotting an alien spaceship hovering over his farm, but we wondered if that...

Wow, another triumph of logic and science, against the dark side of superstition and false beliefs. It's quite obvious to me now that what the ignorant public terms "UFOs" are pranks with balloons and frisbees, or Venus and the occasional swamp gas.

Thanks! Such testimony is indeed very interesting. The behaviour you describe would support the ideas I mentioned earlier (by Hill and others). To quote from Dr Puthoff's review of Hill's book: One of the consequences of the above identification of field propulsion type by Hill is his...

At the risk of sounding like a broken record, the subject of UFO high-speed travel without sonic boom is discussed in the book "Unconventional Flying Objects: A Scientific Analysis" by the late Paul R. Hill (NASA aeronautical engineer, who had 2 UFO sightings of his own and was cited in...

I've been quietly monitoring this thread for some time. There is a large number of Americans (and to a lesser extent British) who do indeed think that BBD (Big Black Deltas) are produced by their respective governments. However, what is important to understand is that in order for BBDs to...

Schuyler, does your extensive UFO library of 300+ titles also include old newsletters (e.g. APRO, NICAP, FSR, UFORIC etc) from the first decades of UFO research ? With sketches ? Since I think that UFOs use gravity-like force fields to do their stuff, while looking at the last UK MoD UFO docs...

Arguing with any "dyed-in-the-wool" skeptic about UFOs, armed with the evidence which is available to the public today, is an exercise in futility. What puzzles me the most however, is all those public opinion polls which show that about 50% of the people (ranges between 45% and 55% and is much...

WRT UK MoD UFO files, quoting from David Clarke's (who is the UK Nat.Archives consultant) blog: The release of these papers is in itself a victory for open government. For as recently as ten years ago the British Government refused even to acknowledge the existence of DI55, let alone comment...

It looks like computer generated image (CGI) to me = hoax. I also remember "photos" of something very similar (with the same air control surfaces or "vents" or whatever is visible on its upper section) surfacing in 2008. Schuyler is right that if one has an "antigravity" technology, the craft...

Just remember that Shostak has appeared in nearly every UFO documentary of the past 2 decades, introduced as offering a "scientific" and "reasoned" angle to the UFO discussion ... Seth Shostak's articles are syndicated on dozens of high-traffic websites, including space.com, news.yahoo.com...

Gen, I understood that Mr Reiss donated his UFO archive to Billy Cox, or did I get it wrong? The issue of preserving UFO history is very important. It's such a pity that much of it gets lost, e.g. APRO Wikimedia Error (one of the 2 biggest UFO organisations in North America during the 50s-70s)...

That Nick Cook, as a journalist, might seem "well-connected" and honest is quite irrelevant to the fact that (as clearly demonstrated in his documentaries) he lacks basic knowledge, which would allow him to separate wheat from chaff. For example, financial news journalists might be...

"It is difficult to get a man to understand something, when his salary depends upon his not understanding it"

The problem is that Stanton Friedman's idea about UFO propulsion are based on "Magneto[Aero/Hydro]Dynamics" which doesn't seem to fit the evidence. Have a look at UFO technical overview section #7 on propulsion.

Gareth, no I haven't read his book, but I've read reviews / recaps of his book and watched his subsequent (Secret Evidence) documentary. Quoting from his bio "Cook has a degree in Arabic and Islamic Studies from Exeter University". The issue is that this fellow simply doesn't have the...
