Figure this would have a better chance of surviving in the Media Center than on the main page, and I'll be adding youtube and podcast links from time to time as I come across them, so it fits.
This has been something that's interested me from a very young age, all aspects of mysterious stuff, whether we're talking forgotten or forbidden archeology or civilization (Atlantis, pre-colombian exploration of america, etc), unexplained events (like Tunguska in 1908, the lost Roanoke Island colony, etc), paranormal events like ghosts, the study of ESP and that sort of thing, conspiracy (ranging from JFK to stuff like the perpetration of the drug war and the infilitration of the media by US intelligence) and, of course, UFOs (which to me means "unexplained" not "extraterrestrial" but that's a whole other topic).
Anything could show up, and everybody should feel free to add whatever they like. Just try to keep it as civil and respectful as possible. This is not intended to be a DC thread; it's as much for entertainment purposes as it is to solve all the world's mysteries.
**Although if anybody posts anything from Third Phase of Moon they should probably expect me to kick them in the balls.**
Few things I like to watch or listen to in no particular order (most of this can be found on itunes as well...):

When it happens, it's almost always paranormal-like. That's why I think that a lot of people think they see something when it's really their minds manifesting things in a half-asleep state.
Jesus dude. This sounds terrifying.
I hate to make you talk about it but would you mind sharing any specifics of what you experienced? [Reply]

I definitely agree that sleep paralysis is the culprit in a great many of those cases, but some of these supposed abductions come with physical proof such as implants with highly irregular chemical makeups and other strange features.
ThaVirus, if there is a subject in particular that interests you, tell me what it is and I'll try to find something on it for you. [Reply]
Caught some Darkness reruns. Have to say I like Schraeder better there than on Coast to Coast, but I'd guess that's because there's enough episodes that I can sift through the shows and pick what I'm interested in. [Reply]

Nonetheless, I am really pleased with the conversation that took place here tonight... you, me, Jerm and anyone else that stuck their neck out tonight is kind of a hero of mine.
Simply being willing to discuss these things without poop jokes being thrown in is a milestone afaic.
Always love talking about this...for one because I've always been fascinated/obsessed and because I really do believe this is where the real advancements in science where come from. [Reply]

I'm more cynical. I think the real advancements in science and technology come primarily from war. [Reply]

Well see I'm different than a lot lol...I believe a majority of the tecnologocial advancements we've seen have come from extraterrestrials.
I used to work with a guy at a jail that was retired Air Force and after I gained his trust, he kinda opened up to me a bit. He didn't say too much but I do remember him telling me that if we knew the technology the military and other govt entities possessed we'd be shocked. [Reply]
Recently read Fingerprints of the Gods by Graham Hancock.
It makes a good case for a lost advanced civilization that was wiped out 12K or so years ago. Great read, I highly recommend for anyone following this thread. And he's coming out with a sequel this year. [Reply]

That I believe. A lot of the technology we in the public see is based on developments from the 50s and 60s, so there's definitely stuff going on behind the scenes that would blow our minds. Can't wait so see some of it in 2025.
However, one valid question raised about advanced technology is that if the military has all this crazy stuff, then why don't they use it. Because we never see any evidence of it. The answer of course being they do, it just takes years after the fact for us to hear about it. And we mostly hear about the stuff that didn't work as well as they expected, like the non-lethal microwave stuff they tried to use in Iraq. ADS I think it was called.
We've definitely had directed energy weapons for decades, since the 80s. Don't think we're at the star trek phaser point yet, but it's probably not that far off. I'm sure our aircraft technology would blow our minds, as well. I do think it's entirely possible that some UFO sightings that look impossible technologically are actually us testing and/or using stuff that's next-next-gen. But even the stuff that works that we do hear about, like stealth tech during the first gulf war, is based on developments from years ago (that was all done in the 70s as I recall, based on research done much earlier than that...).
I just tend to think that we developed most of it ourselves. My guess is that anything we've recovered may give us some ideas, but is probably too advanced and too alien for us to understand or replicate. Sort of like if you handed a smart phone to a pygmy. They could probably figure out how to make it do some things, at least until the battery died, but assuming they didn't already know how to speak english, they wouldn't be able to understand anything they saw, or what the actual functions of the device are. And if they managed to get the cover off, they wouldn't have a clue what all the parts did (hell, most of us 'civilized' people wouldn't for that matter) and they certainly couldn't make their own cell phones. They just don't have the technology or industry for it.
So while the idea of reverse engineering extraterrestrial technology is romantic, I'd assume that's how it would go for us if we found any kind of advanced craft of extraterrestrial origin. It isn't like trying to reverse engineer captured German tech in the 40s or stolen Russian tech in the 80s. This is a completely different species from a completely different biosphere that's had completely unrelated evolution and uses a language that can't possibly have any analog on Earth.
There's only a few scenarios that I can think of where reverse engineering would work:
- they're not very far ahead of us technologically and everything they do is recognizable to us.
- they're far advanced but are for whatever reason working with us
- they're not extraterrestrial, or if they are, they're off-planet remnants of an earlier spacefaring Earth civilization that we have no historical record of, but their language(s) are recognizable if still foreign (perhaps even roots of ours).
But that's just throwing out ideas. Who the hell knows... [Reply]
So I just took the time to type out all my UFO, ghost, and conspiracy stories. I forgot that I don't have cookies enabled, so I let the page expire and it all just disappeared when I submitted. Son of a bitch. [Reply]

Discover his world of abductions, scalar wave transmissions, and a program to study or manipulate the human race. Director and investigative filmmaker Jeremy Kenyon Lockyer Corbell, will be hosting a private pre-premiere of the work at the 2015 International UFO Congress Film Festival in Arizona, February 2015
Just FYI, Corbell is going to be on Coast to Coast tomorrow night with George Knapp discussing Patient Seventeen. [Reply]
