    Mendel reacted to Charlie Wiser's post in the thread The Westall School Incident with Like Like.
    I have all the Westall interviews and posts I could find over the years, transcribed, and there's no result searching on purple (glow). I think a primary school child (as an adult) came out with a story of seeing aliens in the UFO, but nobody...

    Source: https://youtu.be/1NBfZcNU4O0 The Internet calls this "murder board", despite the pre-existing meaning of the term.

    I totally understand. It's on my mind a lot of the time as I get older, too, and my friends die along the way. Such a deal! My Dad's mom who was almost 103, died just last week, and my Dad got back from NY a couple of days ago, having lost his...

    Mendel reacted to JJB's post in the thread Rendlesham Forest UFO Incident with Agree Agree.
    Group agreement in the moment proves nothing. If five people are standing together at night, already primed to think something unusual is happening, and one of them says "beam coming down," the others are far more likely to interpret what they're...

    I'll take a bit of heat on this one my friend. I did point out that the late '70s were known as the Hollow Forces era for the Air Force. They were losing trained people and the recruits were scoring lower than any previous enlistees. Despite the...

    Mendel reacted to John J.'s post in the thread Rendlesham Forest UFO Incident with Like Like.
    Sirius scintillates and is known to appear to change colour, Jupiter, as per other planets, doesn't scintillate and (AFAIK) doesn't rapidly change colour. Other stars also appear to change colour, not just Sirius As someone else (sorry, can't...

    Mendel reacted to John J.'s post in the thread Claim: Original Calvine UFO Photo with Like Like.
    If it were the tail of an aircraft viewed at a similar angle as the other plane, we would see its wingtips. If it were the tail of an aircraft that was more side-on to the photographer than the other one, so the wings weren't evident, I think...

    The most insidious and most harmful thing about religion is its role in dividing "us" vs "them". Ask anyone in Ireland, or the whole of the Middle East, or Pakistan/India, or in any other war-torn country where the division lies between two...

    If you're not convinced, then you don't really believe in something. You can decide how to act and what to say, but I don't believe you can really decide what to believe.

    I am sorry for that. It is hard when somebody young passes away. You and your family are in my thoughts today. Yeah, for those of us with "more yesterdays than tomorrows," it's a topic that merits a bit of thought. As I have crossed the...

    UFO skeptics should avoid the temptation to make a game of "take a drink every time somebody says "I know what I saw.""

    NorCal Dave reacted to Ann K's post in the thread The Westall School Incident with Agree Agree.
    I understand, a verbal report is always subject to question: is it true, is it a misinterpretation, is it a deliberate falsification? But we were discussing the additional factors of the fallibility of memory and the tendency of humans to...

    NorCal Dave reacted to Andreas's post in the thread Claim: Original Calvine UFO Photo with Agree Agree.
    Since the "recreation" was made by Nick Pope, who at the time had no reason to believe anyone would ever get to see the real photograph, it's necessary to take the whole thing with a large grain of salt. He added a clearly visible Harrier jet to...
