A fine question, and one which is getting harder to answer. AARO was supposed to investigate new claims of anomalous things. The retrospective review of past sightings was supposed to be a one-time only review of the "story-so-far", to serve as...

Groups like to have control of the jargon/vocabulary they use when describing their topic of interest. It allows them to feel they are in control of the dialog. It also allows the group to change the scope of the discussion by changing the...

Re. part 3 of The Mystorian's take on Ariel School, @25 mins 43 secs in, See Johnny [Mack] doesn't even know this fucking word and he's a doctor. Well I mean he has a doctorate, in psychology, and grifting. No, Mack was a doctor in the most...

Escaping to space, you say?

And how would you simplify the term "biological material"? That's right, "biologics". Language is descriptive, not prescriptive.
