Technology has a way of concentrating power, confounding the equation of security vs freedom. It allows ever smaller numbers of bad actors to kill ever larger numbers of people. But there is yet another potential nightmare beyond brute force. Technology may now conceivably allow a...

Even to a thinking lay person, the implications of this are profound. Imagine a toroidal structure of even "normal" matter. Imagine also the entire toroid is "spinning" in on itself in a way such that, if a slice of cross section of the toroid were observed, it would be in fast rotation...

A very good interview, IMO.

Let's face it. Russian 'official' sources are more than a little lacking in credibility.

Edgar Mitchell was something of an American and even a global treasure. I like to think all of the Apollo astronauts' world views were deeply changed, and that Mitchell was simply the most erudite and honest about it all.

Very interesting but paint me 'skeptical'. If the underlying principle is sound, experiments on a small scale measuring slight changes in gravitational attraction on very small masses should be doable. Positive results would either generate a small media frenzy. Or a clampdown of...

Our knowledge of past global disasters affecting Earth's biosphere is incomplete but not altogether comforting. Humans are latecomers to this planet. The short lifespans of individuals, tribes and nations is of little help in predicting the worst this planet and the medium it inhabits may...

Such dreams are nice. Reality check: The Space Shuttle was a very dangerous machine. Our expendable rocket boosters still fail on a fairly regular basis between earth and orbit. Don't expect a Mach 10 joyride for the general public anytime soon.

Fame seems a little more fleeting nowadays than in years past. Most artists attain beyond Andy Warhol's 15 minutes worth, but are more likely to make a big splash or two and then fade quickly into obscurity. It seems so anyway.

I had a puppy love crush on Annette as a child and recall keeping a constant lookout for her on the streets of Anaheim during a family vacation long ago. Of course, I was certain I spotted her. RIP, lovely lady. You brought happiness to thousands of young people across the USA.

Say it isn't so ! RIP to one of the all time rock music greats.

Even if we do not find evidence of intelligently crafted artifacts on Mars, strange symmetries produced by "natural" processes there would be reason enough to explore in further detail ! Image enhancement is valid and not out of bounds if done correctly. The trick is in extracting and...

I think the expression on her face in the photo speaks louder than words. IMO, whether the government has a coherent explanation for the phenomenon or not, recorded testimony--both written and on video since the 1940's--would suggest that someone somewhere in the corridors of power knows at...

As in most odd ufological twists, one can see this from a number of possible angles. -Penniston has been confabulating about Rendlesham for years and worked himself ever more deeply into a false narrative, finding ever more detail in the process. -As often recorded in the history of UFO...

A most excellent show ! Exploring avenues heretofore seldom tread while keeping a good sense of fun and just the right amount of speculative skepticism. Waytogo :)

"The Thing" definitely makes the top 5 picks. More favorites: -"Them", 1954 -"The Brain From Planet Arous", 1957 -"It Came From Outer Space" , 1953" Only problem with "The Day The Earth Stood Still" is that it was almost too well done to make the "so bad it's good" cut. A hallmark of...

I love the graphics. Helps the mathematically challenged like myself to better understand relationships between trigonometry and wave functions. What blows my mind is that all electromagnetic energy, from 60 cycle AC in your home power plug, to microwaves to light are essentially the same...

Randal, my heart goes out to you. Please accept my most sincere condolences.

I hate to say it, but I don't think the phenomenon is amenable to photographic methods of analysis. Consider that many hundreds of thousands of cellphone cameras have failed to record many, if any, unimpeachable pics or videos of UFOs. The history of the UFO is that is has the ability to...
