From NASA’s announcement: “There is no evidence UAPs are extraterrestrial in origin.”That is the most Condon Report-type statement ever. It’s like saying “we don’t know what they are, that’s why we’re studying the data, but we do know before studying the data that they are NOT extraterrestrial.” Expect even less from NASA than what youContinue reading “Welcome To The Party: NASA Launches Their Own UAP Study”

Journal Entry: Picasso, Braque, Cubism and the Extreme Psychological Reaction of the UFO Experience
When Braque saw Picasso’s first Cubist painting “Les Demoiselles d’Avignon” in his studio, he had a reaction that could be defined as transcendent or closely mystical in its effect.

But each silo of analysis is likely to beContinue reading “Studying UFOs: Data Challenges, Facts & Analysis Approach”

Abduction cases are subject to large amounts of hoax, alternative causes such as sleep paralysis/night terrors and an absence of physical evidence (analysis of materials removed from the bodies ofContinue reading “The Difficulty Analyzing CEIV – Abduction Cases”
Opinion: The Tide is Turning
I recently noted how interest in UFOs is likely to attract those who are living a “life of the mind.” Royal, nation, economic and military duties could qualify as requiring the qualities of a life of the mind so it is not surprising to learn that the recently departed Prince Philip of England had anContinue reading “Opinion: The Tide is Turning”
UFO’s, Intriguing Business.
It strikes me that those who are engaged in a “life of the mind” are naturally drawn to the pursuit or at least interest in the UFO phenomenon. And why wouldn’t it? When one sits down to truly ponder, logically, the evidence and other attributes of the phenomena it presents perhaps the greatest puzzle knownContinue reading “UFO’s, Intriguing Business.”
