I seriously can't figure out where you're coming from. Up thread you made statements like: But then say there is lot's of bunk in the UFO world: Back and forth. Then as usual you post yet another long list of claims that, I assume, are...

My understanding of the story is that one of the kids got close enough to briefly get on the craft. I am sure I saw that claim in one of the documentaries on the matter. Gonna have to look that up and find the relevant bit.

They don't. Ie. @John J. already referenced the Fatima 'miracle of the sun'. What's hallucinated depends on the context, and the zeitgeist.

I'd ask.....why do people ONLY ever spontaneously mass hallucinate UFOs or ghosts ? Why don't 200 people driving down the motorway ever spontaneously hallucinate a giant marshmallow swallowing half of Denver ? Why don't they ever all hallucinate...

Well, that's the exact point of my comment. Had you not heard it in the second video, then it would have just been one of those one-time things you just learnt. And by your own admission, one of many one-time things. It's you who added the...

You keep trying to tie me down to a particular theory, when in fact I have proposed several and I don't really care if they are mutually exclusive as my primary point has been that something beyond just the standard 'clueless US servicemen...

Well, one could as well argue that Conrad IS making an extraordinary claim ( that nothing much happened ), given the number of witnesses who have subsequently claimed that odd stuff did happen. Now I must find that video where Halt is in the...

There's some oddness going on with the gain, and it's not clear what time this oddness happened. Here's is just before the "move". Note how "bright" it is (i.e. colder than the background) A few frames later it's less bright. I've stabilized it...

No, I'm simply pointing out the double standards whereby people are quite happy to accept Base Commander Conrad's statements 10 years or so after the event......they somehow aren't fudged or embellished or manipulated in any way.

The weird thing about any species developing civilization is that nature keeps remaking its greatest hits like a film studio that ran out of ideas a billion years ago. Pretty-much-whale terrestrial tetrapods have been returning to the seas since...

I learn new things practically every day, as I read or watch so much. But here's the thing. Yesterday I discovered the word 'exegesis' in a video on religion. I had to look up what it means. Just half an hour later I heard the word again in...

Your assertion is not supported by any evidence. We only have four contemporaneous testimonies: Andrew Greenwood (science teacher) (interviewed in the paper and a year later by James McDonald) Marilyn Eastwood (now Smith) (interviewed in the...

I'd love a thread not just on arguments, but on how people reach their 'rational' conclusions. If there's one thing the 'space-faring elephants' saga taught me it is that people can't even agree on what is rational. One of the things I...

I find myself thinking in terms of something stuck on the windshield, and thus much closer to the camera than the streetlight etc. IF so, you could also create apparent movement of the foreground object by moving the camera laterally, or of...

Oh, sorry! I forgot to include the link. The video doesn't load anymore, but the description leaves no doubt that it's this one: https://web.archive.org/web/20130724004238/https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kALKpqBlLi0 I found the video link in the...
