http://theozfiles.blogspot.com/2009/01/westall-ufo-black-swan.html The event is a surprise. The event has a major impact. After the fact, the event is rationalized by hindsight, as if it had been expected. Maybe this is old news to everyone, but I just stumbled on to it. It looks like someone...

I'm not talking about better ways to pursue the old paradign (I hate that word), but an entirely new way of framing everything. A new way to think that leads to new and fresh questions. That's the key: brand new questions, because the old ones are getting us no where. For instance, look at...

I wonder if there are other theoretical models that can be applied to the study of ufos. Most people put on the glasses of physics. They measure, analyze and try to take the phenomena apart. They ask questions that physicists ask. But the problem is, as J. Allen Hyneck pointed out, “We don’t...

Yes. It happens to me too.

Uncle Albert said common sense is just a set of prejustices we accumulate before we are 18. He was right.

It seems to me that a space/time anomaly might have several other effects. Did you listen to the radio? Did it sound normal? Did your watch have the correct time at the end of the journey? Did your car have a clock? Was it correct at the end of the journey? Did your gas mileage seem correct...

Have you ever experienced something and thought, "I have GOT to be the only person on Earth who has EVER experienced anything like this. No one else could possibly understand so I'm just going to keep it to myself." And then, when you somehow get over the fear of making a fool out of yourself...

SK4P, You are absolutely correct. Begging the question is a type of circular arguement in which the truth of the conclusion is assumed in a premise. It's a bit like using the word you are defining in the definition. By the way, the Christian fellow who was on last week constantly misused the...

It is so hard to know where to begin. First, there's flawed methodology. It's called "selection." Selecting only those cases that you believe support you hypothesis, which in turn, are used to support you hypothesis. This is circular and begs the question. There is also self selection in the...

-How about having a show on cargo cults, or how a primitive culture deals with an encounter with an advanced culture. Another thought . . . I'm rereading books by J. Allen Hynek: The Hynek UFO Report and the UFO Experience, a Scientific Inquiry as well as some of Jaques Vallee's works...
