Hubbard, '50s? Scientology's got aliens and it's got telepathy: You can also communicate with other OT’s through telepathy. About halfway through another of his Scientology tomes, The History of Man, Hubbard claims, “Thetans communicate by...

If he/they means "aliens" just say "aliens." We all know what that is. My sense is that "non human biologics" is an attempt to sound authoritative through the use of an "excess surplusage of syllablization" with a side of "no, I never said...

I agree that that is an absolutely perfect word, I can't conceive how to improve on it. However, that would not satisfy the single property that Grusch needs it to have. As @MapperGuy said above: "Groups like to have control of the...

But these are still materials of biological origin used in a therapeutic context. Medical blood products are sometimes described as biologics, spilt blood from a nosebleed is not a biologic. Me neither, but that was never my concern. If Grusch...

It does look very similar!

It would be simpler if it was that way, but language, and scientists, are untameable beasts: "Biologic Grafts for Use in Pelvic Organ Prolapse Surgery: a Contemporary Review" - https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/33098501/ "Skin Grafts and Biologic...

The right side of the "UFO" isn't clearly visible. There seems to be a reflection from the sun, but I've made both sides look the same in this photo, and I've obviously flipped it. To me, this looks like a fairly standard soap dish with the...

It doesn't need one. -y -> -ic is a perfectly standard production in english, e.g. geology -> geologic, pedagogy -> pedagogic. If you object to rampant nounification of adjectives, you're going to have to stop snooker players potting reds before...

I'm not the one using the word; the UFOlogists are. And, as with the term "orbs", our criticism of the terms they use is simply whistling in the wind. We cannot declare their lexicon to be null and void; it is what it is, and we are powerless to...

This is the very definition of fanaticism. For some, blind faith in various UFO stories is a substitute for religion, and for others it is an extension of it, where it plugs into a wider paranormal belief framework, as in the case of Avi Loeb...

Fun! I'd enhance the contrast in the photos so you can get a good look at the outline of the "UFO" --so you can find an appropriate dish. And figure out the attachment point from the wire, unless it was tossed, and take a look at the camera and...
