MMapperGuy replied to the thread Transients in the Palomar Observatory Sky Survey.IF they are still there something in their nature/shape/structure/behavior has changed considerably. Other wise modern telescopes and space surveillance systems would be recording them regularly. Has anyone suggested how they could be detected...

Agree. Also, Mack wasn't interested in a forensic analysis of what they saw, but only what they "experienced". There's no kind of structure to how his interviews were conducted that could allow for cross comparison. He was there because he was... -
John J. replied to the thread The Ariel School, Zimbabwe UFO sighting - has it ever been debunked?.Yes, I was saying that there was plenty of time for cross-contamination of accounts (or for some kids to jointly agree on their accounts) to occur before the Monday. That would be grossly unethical. Is there evidence that he led specific... -

Doesn't it contradict the nuclear tests correlation? The correlation imply they come for the nuclear tests and leave after the tests. -

Agree.
We know John Mack used hypnosis with his patients, but I'm not aware (might be wrong) that he used hypnosis with the claimed Ariel witnesses (who were not patients). It seems pretty clear Mack and Cynthia Hind (and Ariel School headmaster Colin... -

Informative.
In the literature on hypnosis there's quite a lot about the myths of hypnosis. For example no induction procedure is required, it's not "sleep," and does not require the subject to have their eyes closed or be in a "trance". In fact there's no... -

Credit for correcting me- having looked myself I agreed Mack no evidence he explicitly used Grof breathing techniques in Ariel. But there is evidence it was part of his standard operating procedure by then...

I think there's an important distinction between showing that certain interviewing practices are preferable and showing that the Ariel interviews are therefore unreliable. The protocol is designed primarily to maximize accurate recall from...

How does the fact that they now have evidence that these "objects" are geosynchronous match the discovery that they found these transient "lines" that wouldn't match geosynchronous objects? How does the fact that the objects are supposed to be...

Not nuclear weaponry, but it would appear that commercial enterprises have been responsible for popularizing some spurious connection between Sedona and mysterious events. Calling all UFO hunters! Sedona has always had a reputation for being...

Giddierone replied to the thread The Ariel School, Zimbabwe UFO sighting - has it ever been debunked?.They were not detained at the school but went home at 1pm that day, and were only interviewed at the school beginning on the Monday. IIRC the issue with Harvard was about billing for services and substandard record keeping. But, he also allowed...

John J. reacted to FatPhil's post in the thread Study: Assessing correspondence between subjective reports and visual targets during attempted out-of-body experiences with Like.
There's a bit of a stench to this. Why were the seating arrangements different? Was seating arrangement part of the test protocol? If not, how can we be sure you remembered correctly, because you didn't write it down as it wasn't part of the...
