Another good UFO researcher bites the dust.

After 5 or 6 years here I think I've earned the right to post my farewell in here.

This site is of no use to anyone seeking any kind of truth or even an insight into the UFO phenomena - don't get me wrong there are some fantastic minds here, some fantastic people and I don't mean closed minded people either - there are people here who can see the merit even in some of the more outlandish claims by those who claim to have seen UFO's, or claim to have been abducted. This is no anally retentive forum - but there comes a point when loony opinions, from people who are either here to discredit the truth, get their kicks, or who are just plain ill have to be tempered, have to be edited, otherwise you have a free for all with nothing to be gained by anyone.

And that in my opinion is where we are at.

This site no longer serves the grander purposes of UFO Study and research. It panders to fantasists and in so doing has become an obstacle to be overcome by anyone interested in serious research.

There isn't a newspaper in the world which allows it's contributors or journalists to write what they like with no fear of the consequences. There has to be editorial control or at least a benchmark which to follow....currently here it's post what you like, regardless of how fanciful, regardless of how ridiculous (which in itself may be no bad thing if it stopped there) But it doesn't stop there - like I said elsewhere - giving free rein to ANY opinion slants the subject, makes it something it is not, gives credibility to utter nonsense. Makes it even more difficult for those who aspire to get at the truth.

Some of us have a position of responsibility in that respect - a responsibility to uphold standards. Currently the standards we appear to be aspiring towards here are not those of content - but of behaviour. We seem more interested in forcing people to be nice to one another (which is worthy) but at the expense of content (I would have thought in that case that the site could be about anything - not necessarily UFO'S - Buddhism maybe?) - in other words you can post whatever shite you like so long as you do so with a smile.

Not for me, not anymore.

I'm sorry it has to end this way. But my frustrations at the lack of intervention here preclude me from staying any longer, other than to acknowledge anyone who may feel that after so long I merited a 'Bye'....

You take care folks....good knowing so many of you.

I've unlocked the secret of reptilian shapeshifters...

I read somewhere that reptiles have two penises??? I have no verification for this - I don't know but if reptiles here on earth have two penises then shapeshifting reptilians should have them too.

However.....because reptilian aliens can shapeshift and they have taken over the bodies of most of our world leaders I thought I would try and track down evidence that they may have a 'secret sign' they pass between one another to let each other know 'I'm secretly an alien - I have two penises'.....

I was rather surprised by the result.....









Although this guy worries the hell out of me....



I'm stilll looking for people who pass the secret sign on......

Ok...this is what I really think....

I confess that I'm not an ardent supporter of Tectonic Stress Theory as an explanation for UFO's - I do however acknowledge huge advances made by the work of Professor Michael Persinger and Research Fellow Paul Devereux of Princeton University.

I really do want to use this thread for discussing Tectonic Strain Theory (and my own idea that electromagnetism is responsible for hallucinatory episodes including the MAJORITY of alien abduction accounts and UFO sightings).

First of all - anyone familiar with the theory?

It has to be said....

Ok sharpen your knives....

40 years I've been investigating UFO's - 40 goddam years. And you know what? There's something to it - there really is a case to be made for extraterrestrial life having visited earth.

However - there's some things which emerge during the course of looking into the subject which HAVE TO BE SAID - CANNOT BE OVERLOOKED - ARE AN INTEGRAL PART OF UFO RESEARCH!

Most (and yes I do emphasise most) people who are 'into' the subject have issues...yes they do...big issues....but do they ever include those issues as part of the UFO equation? Nope they don't. Has it never struck you as odd that most who claim to have been abducted have also been on anti-depressant medication? Does it not strike you as odd that they've been treated by psychiatrists or psychologists or been beaten over the head with a big stick? Does it not strike you as odd the number of believers who acknowledge they have a neurological disorder? Is that the same profile as folks who follow Baseball? Soccer? Who believe in God? Who believe in Hell? Who believe in Republicanism? No it's not..no it's not - I'll repeat it - No it's not....so who's gonna step forward and address the central issue in the whole UFO phenomena? Not UFO'S per se - but the TYPE of person who believes and why that should be? What does it mean?????

People who 'believe' are usually fucked up in some sort of fundamental way - now does that mean that they are fucked up because of some alien intervention or the reverse? I dunno - but the longer we pussyfoot around the issue of WHO believes and WHY they believe, the longer this subject will remain the fringe laughing stock that it is -

Somebody somewhere do the research!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

A new video....

I don't want to sound like I'm spamming another forum - but my wife made a promo video for a site we own and I was blown away by the quality of it (My wife is a professional photographer so I should have known it was good) However I'm just amazed that it reached Number one in various categories on Youtube Australia....I couldn't believe it - and would you believe I made one too but only made it to number 78 or something lol....anwyay what I really want is feedback on the video!! I'd love to hear what you think....
