zoser Posted September 28, 2013 Author #4826 Share Posted September 28, 2013 (edited) Yeah, right? solid argument for science if I ever did see one Science has written itself out of the UFO phenomena and has no part to play at the moment and never will have if it keeps going the way it is. Without serious reform, the scientific community can actually offer very little. Some say it is a great shame. I say not really. If it get's it's act together then fine. I will listen. It's no good fielding self confirmed skeptics who never bother to investigate cases or listen to witnesses; that's blatantly obvious. It needs these people to climb down from their self-built ivory towers and get seriously stuck into cases with much more of an open mind. It's sciences loss not Ufology's loss.

I'll give you credit there in that what you say makes sense. Although I come across as a stubborn skeptic often, it should not detract from the fact I believe, beyond shadow of doubt, that many appearances of UFO's are of ET origin. It p***es me off that most of the so called "authors" write complete nonsense, claiming people told them this and that "off the record". 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I understand you correctly you are saying that you wish that UFO authors and researchers would use a little more scientific rigour? I would agree. Everyone should exercise responsibility to check and verify claims where possible. Edited September 28, 2013 by zoser 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sweetpumper Posted October 10, 2013 #4829 Share Posted October 10, 2013 A former cable TV reporter believes he caught video of a UFO near his home in Hong Kong. According to ePrice.com.hk, a Hong Kong online merchant, the man who captured the UFO video was Wu Xiaodong Yi, who they say is a former cable TV reporter for TVB in Hong Kong. ePrice reports that Yi first spotted the UFO on the evening of October 5, but was only able to take a low quality cell phone photograph of it. In hopes that the UFO would return, the next night Yi was prepared with a video camera to record the object. Luckily, Yi was right, and the object did return. He was able to get a few minutes of video before the object disappeared. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The shape is typical of zooming in on any light source and the distortion making shapes, diamond shapes typically have something to with the aperture I believe, tho Im sure the photo buffs will correct me if Im wrong !!

Yes, the diamond shape distortion was certainly a known iris artefact in/from Sony camcorders. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You mean the Jesse Roestenburg sighting in Satffordshire in the 1950's? Not really. Since then the thread has been a comprehensive dazzling roller coaster of discovery, looking at convincing testimonies in ufology over the last few decades.

psyche101 Posted November 5, 2013 #4837 Share Posted November 5, 2013 (edited) I'll give you credit there in that what you say makes sense. I beg your pardon? Not it most certainly does not. All this illustrates is that the unsung workhorses who battle this question are invisible to woo woo UFOlogy. Physicists, Meteorologists, Biologists and Astronomers are but a tiny fraction of the sciences involved with this field of study. The woo woo crowd says science does not touch this phenomena because they do not want to admit that the little green men teams failed miserably, and we have come to realise that UFO's tend to get explained with very terrestrial and mundane items. This is what we study today, we do not have teams called UFO hunters, that nonsense has been demoted to entertainment television, we have the sciences studying space, we have the WISE missions, the Kepler missions, the Galileo's, endless streams of data coming not from imagination, but directly from space. So no, as usual, it makes not an ounce of sense, it simply says that because the studies do not have some cheesy name, they are considered not to exist, nothing could be further from the truth. But book sales like the Leslie Kean offering would indeed benefit from such inane claims. What does not exist anymore are the somewhat childish names for fledgling divisions that have no clue what it is they are actually doing. How this myth continues to propagate in a modern world is not bewildering, but saddening. Is this the state of learning today? We do not even know people are learning? We just pretend that seeming as we are not directly informed, such does not exist? And believers say skeptics have a closed mind??????? Seriously???????? Although I come across as a stubborn skeptic often, it should not detract from the fact I believe, beyond shadow of doubt, that many appearances of UFO's are of ET origin. It p***es me off that most of the so called "authors" write complete nonsense, claiming people told them this and that "off the record". And belief is fine, which is why you do not warrant the animosity Zoser tends to in general. Just like believing a chick can get pregnant by an act of God. Yeah, sure, believe that if you want. Millions do, but my mind is not wired that way. I am driven to actually know, and not accept half guesses as acceptable. It failed the ancient greeks with their God theories, yet here we are doing the same thing over again. This authors you mention as far as I can tell are Zoser's modern prophets. I reckon we have had enough religion on the planet myself. Edited November 5, 2013 by psyche101 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The motive is all you have to go on. The only motive as far as I can see is that she wanted to let the truth out concerning her experience. Nothing else.

Spacenut56 Posted November 6, 2013 #4848 Share Posted November 6, 2013 The detail in the experience is just awesome. The aspect/encounter with the robotic arm is REALLY interesting. Isn't that what our Mars surveyer robots have done are doing on Mars? Really a fascinating read. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Space Commander Travis Posted November 6, 2013 #4849 Share Posted November 6, 2013 Does sound very interesting. Let's see it be rubbished then by the usual suspects. What approach shall we choose? Rubbishing the credibility of the witnesses is always a favourite in cases this detailed. i expect that's the approach they'll go for. Or perhaps rubbishing it because it's by Linda M. Howe, who according to the usual suspects is a notorious kook and loon. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
