The question is how any satellite using known technologies and no parachute could have made such a relatively soft landing. The closest thing to the Kecksburg case I can recall is some guy who lived on his houseboat in the western desert (near Nellis?) who is on video record as having seen a...

Burnt, I believe you are a career teacher. This no doubt gives you a privileged overview of youth as a society within our society. I'm not a teacher (my wife is BTW), but a particular incident while working as a substitute has stuck in my mind. I was put in charge of a class of "MR", or...

Very interesting !

Welcome to the party. :) Looking forward to hearing your experiences and opinions.

Prayers and well wishes are headed your way, Chris.

Nothing is certain but change, and I agree in principal. Details, as always, remain hazy.

My concerns parallel those of Goggs. The 21st century child grows up in a kind of digital hive, constantly overstimulated, observed and over directed in small but imagination shattering ways. Personal boundaries are constantly under siege. Perhaps to the point that the very concept of...

Small people with small minds doing small things. Nimoy and his role as Spock engendered a cultural icon. RIP Mr. Nimoy. You and your work will be loved for decades to come.

I cannot begin to recall how many time I've heard the complaint that the scientific establishment just doesn't takes UFOs seriously. Newsflash: Jacques Vallee is the scientific establishment. His resume outside of UFOlogy points to involvement in some pretty cutting edge "stuff". Judging...

robertriplie: Welcome :)

The term "nuts and bolts" in the context of UFOlogy implies the mystery of the UFO will yield to increased application of traditional scientific tools of analysis. It seems to say that if we only had more sky scanning cameras, better trained and equipped observers, the right kind of...

Burnt pretty much summed it up. Vallee peddles very few concrete tenets regarding the UFO phenomenon. His style is rather a presentation of historically distant vs more recent human perceptions of high strangeness encounters, drawing parallels where possible. His emphasis, whether in...

Chris, thanks for the info. Was it you who mentioned the large selection of UFO reading material at the Pentagon bookstore? Can't recall. If one knows where and how to look, there is a kind of vague and low key evidence that the intelligence community has an abiding interest in UFOs. No...

A lot of things may sound like a lot of things outdoors from a distance. Especially in the quiet darkness. Are sane people seeing (and maybe hearing) large hairy hominids in the wilderness? I think so. But looking for the explanation within the confines of conventional zoology is like...

The current C2C is a kind of faux spinoff sitting in a cozy niche generated by the talent of Art Bell. I realize Bell is not well regarded here for various reasons. But he had a certain talent/persona that derived the message of late night talk from the medium itself, so to speak. He was a...

What beautiful creatures !

Thanks for the heads-up, Chris. I don't normally even bother to sample C2C these days, except on those nights when Knapp is hosting. I will tune in this one for sure.

I wish I knew enough to answer your question. One particular work, which sticks in mind as placing an emphasis on the more mystical and esoteric aspects of Tesla, is "Man Out Of Time" by Margaret Cheney. Tesla: Man Out of Time - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Are her claims and anecdotes...

This is close to our definition of a "seer" and typical of many of history's great minds. As a matter of fact, I would include Nikola Tesla in this category. Fitness selection works at the group as well as the individual level. Perhaps tribes and nations possessing such creative mystics...
