...and I can't tell you about it or I'd have to kill you...

What if the movie production turns out to be a secret government project, kept hidden from Congress? ;)

I believe the hollywootechnical term for this is "tapping into the zeitgeist". (IMO more like a "resurrection attempt" at this point.) Yes, it is lazy money in the sense of going back to "big names" for the "big movies" rather than risky...

And I would suspect that at least some of the UFO crowd are thinking that exactly. "Since WE are the experts on aliens WE will/should be put in charge of interactions with the aliens when they get here." A chance for power and fame and glory and...

That's great! Also, another good example of the ISS scintillating colors when it's lower in the sky- some people have insisted it's always a pure white light. I wonder, though, if some of that is a phone camera artifact.

Close Encounters had many UFOlogy/ related tropes, deliberately so. @Todd Feinman mentioned the police cars pursuing a UFO (this has happened several times in the real world). Small, fast "scoutships" that do the flitting about, and a...

Of all the motivations that might prompt a retired military officer to flee their home with a gun, "possessing secret UFO knowledge" would not be in my top 10, maybe not the top 100.

An interesting take on what General McCasland did and didn't take from Jennifer Coffindaffer (a retired FBI agent) who suspects it may be suicide... Full Newsweek article ->...

I didn't say he was a dumb person. To me, he did a very dumb thing. There have been other instances of officials doing/saying dumb things in the past, in my opinion. But that's the problem, it would derail this thread with subjectivity and...

It's a good example of how a strong belief is impervious to facts. Why wouldn't they believe McCasland himself when he said he had nothing to say? If they made multiple attempts to get him to talk, my money is on him being annoyed, and sharing...
