UFOs game the French fighter jets, and that is an ET

craft, by the rules of best evidence.



Which rules of evidence, exactly, are you refering to here? Be specific.
Who wrote them? When? Where may I look them up? Cite your source.  What's
the ISBN? On which page are these rules found? What, exactly, do they say?


THAT IS THE CORE OF THE REPORT, NESSIE.

THE FRENCH ARE REPORTING ON 500 UFO CRAFT THAT BY THE RULES OF BEST
EVIDENCE

ARE EXTRATERRESTRIAL.


A report is a report. If I report to you that the French were actually
seeing my kid's model planes, does that mean that's what the French saw?
Of course not. A report is a report, nothing more. It's not proof. Show us
some proof, REAL, proof.




UFOs gamed my radio talk show in Jackson MISS on May

14, 2000 -


Tell us about it.


coulda been ETs. Coulda been USA military mimics.


Now that's an objective analysis. That's exactly what I've been saying all
along.


I think it was

ETs.


That is a wholly credible statement. I believe you when you say this. That
alone doesn't mean that I'm right, but I'll give you the benefit of the
doubt.



UFOs game with people who are ET sensitive.


What exactly does that mean? Are you saying that some people can percieve
UFOs and some can't?


 ETs are playing a

"peripheral cuing" game.  UFO encounters are peripheral cues, mass
psychology

enhancers.  Pentagon secret triangular UFOs are gross. ET UFOs are cool.
ETs

don't play YOUR game; ETs play THEIR game Capiche?


How do you know this? Did the tell you personally or did you figure it
out? and what exactly, is a "peripheral cuing game"?

T hey also have not come up with a single ET, just a lot of talk.


Nessie - That is false.


So where is he then? Where is the ET? Take me to him. I'll buy the little
sucker a drink and we'll talk it over, him and me. Then I'll come right
back here and tell y'all he's real. That's a promise.

In the meantime, he's a character in a story some people tell, no more, no
less, and that's the way it is. It doesn't mean the story's not true. But
it sure as hell don't mean that it is.


BTW, that Italian word you tried to use is spelled:   capiesc'

 In my case I have had personal daily communications with local ETs
 (Venusians etc) for years but stopped in 1984.

Just about the time the Russian released their pictures of Venus, taken by
their space probes, showing that it would be impossible for higher life forms
to exist there?

What PROOF do you have that you weren't hallucinating?  What PROOF do you

 There are many, many such events.

I'm looking to have just ONE such event named, where 'thousands' of people saw
something at the same time.  The closest I can come up with are the Mexican and
Phoenix sightings a few years ago, but in reality only a few hundred at most
actually saw anything AT THE SAME TIME as others reported seeing something.

There's a big difference in saying 'thousands in the Phoenix area saw strange
lights on the night of...', and when investigating, find that maybe a few
dozen saw something around 8pm, maybe a few hundred sighted something around
10pm, and perhaps a few hundred more saw something in the wee hours of the
morning...perhaps in total a thousand or more people saw something strange
that night, but never 'simultaneously'...

It could be said that 'thousands' witnessed the 'Westchester Wing' which was
seen in my area back in the early to mid 1980s...but in fact, at most it could
only be a thousand or so IN TOTAL...and never at the same time...



 They do not, however, prove an ET origin
 for what these people saw. There are a number of equally plausible
 alternative explanations.

Or equally implausible.  All we know is that relatively reliable people report
seeing -- and in some cases, experiencing -- strange things.  But we have no
way of knowing the true nature of these events, and one should take what the
supposed instigators of such events (e.g., 'aliens') claim to be 'the truth'
with a grain of salt.

From: "Samantha L." [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Yes, from what I remember in "Above Top Secret", they just repeat these 19th
century stories, they do not 'document' them by doing research and gain any
corraborating evidence.

   As I recall, it named the papers, dates and authors as well as the
 accounts.  If witness accounts are not meaningful to you, so be it.  Good has
 the newspaper accounts.  I'm not quite sure how he would corroborate the
 stories with DEAD PEOPLE.

By research.  All the book does is recount old news articles, most of which it
got from other UFO books, and does not list direct reference.  IOW, it does
NOT give the page numbers the articles are found on, because the writer never
read the article directly in the paper, but depends on what other publications
have said about the articles.

And even then, all you have is an old newspaper article about what certain
people CLAIM to have seen.  This is no 'proof' of anything, except that some
people claim to have seen something strange.  We have no way of 'proving'
whether the article is a hoax of the newspaper (not unknown back in those days),
a hoax of the supposed witnesses, and if the witnesses ARE reliable, we have no
way of knowing whether someone was playing a hoax on them...

I can show you a newspaper article from a reliable newspaper back in 1892, that
names witnesses and gives their addresses, who all claimed to have witnessed
Lizzie Borden arguing with her father shortly before the infamous ax murders;
some witnesses even claimed to have seen one of the murders committed in an
upstairs room while the witness was on the street below.

As it turned out, not only would it have been impossible to have seen anything
from that angle (perhaps the ceiling), within a few days it was found that the
reporter had made up all the names and addresses, that none of the supposed
witnesses even existed.

So just because we today can lay our hands on a Victorian-era newspaper article,
there is not one reason why what is stated in the article should be taken at
face value without other corraborating evidence.


 It is, perhaps, 'documentation' of what a number of eye-witnesses claim to
 have seen.  It tells us nothing regarding the real nature of what was seen.
 Eye-witness testimony is highly subjective, colored by the intellect and
 emotions of the observer.

   Standard assertion.

Standard TRUTH.  Ask any policeman who has to deal with eyewitness testimony
to a crime.  It's actually pretty unreliable, and gets more unreliable the
more emotional the event.


 Thousands of people have been simulatenous witnesses
 to unidentified flying objects.

'Simultaneous' means that they all saw it at the same time, during the same
event.  Tell us more about this ONE event where 'thousands' at that one time
saw the same thing...


   I hope you don't believe anything you've ever read about history, since it
 all comes ultimately from witness accounts which are apparently "highly
 subjective, colored by the intellect and emotions of the observer."

But also subject to research, comparing multiple accounts of the same events.

Actually I DON'T believe everything I read regarding history.  History is
written by the victors, and so, yes, tends to be highly subjective, colored
by not only the intellect and emotions of the writer, but his prejudices, too...

And not just back then, either. Modern newspapers lie every day. They also
grossly distort events by reporting some and not others. Consider gun
violence. When a kid shoots somebody, it's front page news. If a cop
shoots somebody, it's lucky to make two column inches, way in the back
with the truss ads.  Consider how this distorts the perception of people
like the "Million" Mom March, which incidentally drew at most three
hundred thousand. I've been to a lot of demonstrations in my time. I've
been to demonstrations on that very spot. Hell, I've rioted on that very
spot. I also went to Woodstock. I know what a half a million people look
like. I've been in a half a million people. I've demonstrated with a half
million people. That was no million people. Not so says the newspapers.
Even the ones who admit it was less than a million people still call it
tie "Million" Mom March.

The newspapers told us Oswald shot Kennedy. The newspapers told us the
North Vietnamese shot first in Tonkin Gulf. The newspaper told us the
Spanish blew up the Maine.  The newspapers told us Pearl Harbor was a
surprise attack.

Newspapers are not a credible source. This does not mean that everything
you read in the newspaper is a lie. Far from it. But it does mean that
what you read in the newspapers needs to be corroborated by primary
sources, preferably forensic, preferably after a thorough check of the
lab's bona fides.

 [this is the ultimate sceptical argument by the way - first coined by
 descartes
 it is called epistemological scepticism - 'how can we know anything' its
 used a lot on 'science lists' when the sleazy unfalsifiable passengers on
 the gravy train are confronted with the paradoxes central to their lunatic
 'scientific BELIEFS' - I use the argument here because we're all in
 rational mode - and well - its the bottom line for any sceptic - get
 familiar with it - it'll get more frequent as the scientific world view
 collapses into 'magical realism']

 If you are asking me to believe that because there is 'anecdotal and third
 party evidence - eg. vases that alledge that they come from a place called
 china along with a story that has some strange names in it - and you expect
 me to believe because of that that china exists - then EQUALLY - there is
 as much if not more CULTURAL THIRD PARTY EVIDENCE for EXTRA
 TERRESTRIAL/non-human culture and beings as there is for CHINA.

 So if you tell me that CHINA definitely exists - then Non-Human Intelligent
 life exists on this planet too.

 So on those simple grounds alone - if you dismiss ET's [and I think that
 there has been and still is plenty of non-human intelligent life on this
 planet] - then you cannot claim that your KITCHEN exists if you cannot see
 it at any one time.
 There are Images of Non-Human Beings worshipped, drawn, painted and
 communed with since the dawn of recorded time on this planet.
 Dismiss that evidence - and well, who needs a kitchen anyway ?  :)

Andrew, ultimately I must agree with the ultra-sceptical viewpoint and say that we can 
know nothing.  I believe that everything is ultimately illusory thus nothing exists in 
an ultimate sense (for me at least).  But if we cannot agree on any fundamentals then 
we will never agree on the small things.
I think we both agree that UFO's are real, we just differ on what they may be.  
Correct me if I'm wrong but you believe that at least some of them are being directed 
by aliens from somewhere other than Earth?  I say that there is no evidence that any 
UFO's are of alien origin, but do not discount the possibility out of hand.  Will you 
admit the possibility that there are no alien driven UFO's, or are you adamant that 
your view MUST be correct?

  Good talks about a UFO sighting (in Mexico, I believe) which was witnessed
by many thousands of people at once.  Actually, he writes about more than
that one.  I don't have his book at hand.

  I also think the Phoenix Arizona wave of 1997 fits into this category.  The
Belgium sightings starting in 1989 had hundreds at a time, adding up to about
30K before the wave passed.

  There's more evidence laying about regarding UFOs and ET's than there is
about most other topics taken as credible on this list - especially Clinton
topics.  Clinton has been tried, convicted and hung on this list about a
gazillion times with much less supporting evidence than there is available
for UFO's likely being operated by ET's.

  If you're interested in learning more, look for info.  You may be
surprised.  It's not all going to fall into your lap.  Read the French report
or the Belgian report if you like.  Whatever.

  People on this list are very smart.  That different standards of evidence
are used for different topics reveals, IMO, at least a lack of objectivity.
Whatever floats your boat is fine with me.

  I made a new friend and found some great info by being involved in this
discussion.  I'm happy and so now I can be nice, even.

 The Belgian Air Force SAYS it doesn't THINK they could be man-made.

To be even more precise, a television program supposedly alleged that the
Belgian air force supposedly thinks that what was seen could not have been
formed by earthly technology.

No names of anyone in the Belgian air force are being put forth as a source
for this supposed allegation.


News reports in the 19th century, documented in "Above Top Secret?"

 News reports in the 19th century, are REPEATED in "Above Top Secret"

 By definition, this is hearsay. It's pretty interesting hearsay and worth
 considering. But it's NOT evidence.

Yes, from what I remember in "Above Top Secret", they just repeat these 19th
century stories, they do not 'document' them by doing research and gain any
corraborating evidence.


Do multiple sightings documented in newspapers before the invention of
 airplanes mean nothing to you?

 When something is reported in the newspaper it is REPORTED in the
 newspaper. A REPORT is not documentation.

It is, perhaps, 'documentation' of what a number of eye-witnesses claim to
have seen.  It tells us nothing regarding the real nature of what was seen.
Eye-witness testimony is highly subjective, colored by the intellect and
emotions of the observer.

2000-05-27 Thread Ynr Chyldz Wyld

From: "Samantha L." [EMAIL PROTECTED]
   I'd never dream that my ideas are above criticism, and never once implied
 otherwise.  I think the screech level that arises on this list when anyone
 brings up the subject of UFOs is quite telling.  There's plenty of evidence,
 anecdotal and otherwise, that unidentified objects have been flying in our
 skies for a century or more.  There's evidence, not proof.  But what do any
 of us have that is proof of anything?  Have you ever met Clinton?  Are you
 sure he exists?  Could he be a digital image?  If you met him, can you prove
 he wasn't a cyborg?  I mean, get real.

I think the 'screech level' as you deem it is due to the fact that when it
comes to UFOs, there are way too many 'true believers' of whatever 'truth' the
believers choose regarding the nature and origin of UFOs.  Too many of these
'true believers' treat it as if it were a religion, with a set of rules and
dogmas...

Yes, 'something' is going on in regards to what is popularly known as
Unidentified Flying Objects.  I am prepared to believe that the majority of
people who have claimed to witness, and perhaps even had direct contact with,
these objects and perhaps occupants within the objects, are telling the truth
AS THEY PERCEIVE IT.  Which perhaps is not the same as objective reality.

I am not prepared to believe that these objects are extraterrestial; on the
other hand, I don't necessarily DIS-believe it, either.  I try to keep an open
mind.

Re: [CTRL] Alien Presence? Evidence. .

2000-05-27 Thread Andrew Hennessey

 thanks samantha - I was going to use the china argument - if you've never
 been there and touched it - how do you know it physically exists.

This is PURE BULLSHIT. And stupid to boot.

You KNOW China exists and so do the rest of us. The existence of China is
an agreed upon fact. If you doubt the existence of China, it's because
there is a problem with your mind, and not with the existence of China.

This is what I pointed out in a
previous post about guys like you damaging others' psyches. You can't prove
your point because it's not real. So what do you need to do? You need to
destroy in a healthier mind than yours, the 'obviously true' by imposing
doubt
of perception when it isn't there.

I am saying that UFOs and ETs are REAL,

others are saying that all the proof for them are heresay because you cannot
touch it.

so to try to help people get a more real perspective on it - I then say to
them
We can't touch ET's - we can't touch China - but we both know that they exist

hope that clears it up

Among the biggest stories ever featured in CNI News was the release in July
of the "COMETA" UFO report by leading French military officers and
scientists, which categorically stated that UFOs are physically real,
anomalous, of defense significance and therefore deserving of coordinated
international study. The international silence that greeted COMETA's report
was nothing short of bizarre.

http://www.qtm.net/~geibdan/belgium/belup.html

We have obtained, courtesy of French researcher Jean-Luc Rivera, a copy of
the complete report of this incident, which was prepared by Air Force Major
P. Lambrechts, from the Air Force General Staff in Brussels, and which was
forwarded to the SOBEPS following the instructions of full cooperation with
that group. The "Report Concerning the Observation of UFOs During the Night
of March 30 to 31, 1990," includes a full chronology of the events, as well
as a thick dossier of enclosures with eyewitness' descriptions from several
gendarmes and maps of where the sightings took place.

REPORT ON THE OBSERVATION OF UFOs

  Oh, and this has been discussed on the CTRL list as well:
Sun, 20 Sep 1998 08:18:25 -0800

In late 1989 through out 1990, more than 3 Belgians witnessed silent
and triangular shaped UFOs darting in the skies. Why Belgium? Belgium is
apart of NATO defence.

In the United States there has been a mass outbreak of black triangular
UFOs hovering over house tops and travelling at fantastic speeds while
securing sharp angled turns with ease. Are these UFOs from outer space? Or
are they from planet earth. You be the judge.   -Rick-

  Try this site for European UFO sightings.

  Yes, from what I remember in "Above Top Secret", they just repeat these
19th
  century stories, they do not 'document' them by doing research and gain any
  corraborating evidence.

  As I recall, it named the papers, dates and authors as well as the
accounts.  If witness accounts are not meaningful to you, so be it.  Good has
the newspaper accounts.  I'm not quite sure how he would corroborate the
stories with DEAD PEOPLE.

It is, perhaps, 'documentation' of what a number of eye-witnesses claim to
have seen.  It tells us nothing regarding the real nature of what was seen.
Eye-witness testimony is highly subjective, colored by the intellect and
emotions of the observer.

  Standard assertion.  Thousands of people have been simulatenous witnesses
to unidentified flying objects.  It does not tell the real nature of the
objects, but since multiple sightings have been made even before the
invention of the airplane, a little deductive reasoning mught be in order.

  I hope you don't believe anything you've ever read about history, since it
all comes ultimately from witness accounts which are apparently "highly
subjective, colored by the intellect and emotions of the observer."

You can check up on the mortality of Celts by looking over the surnames on

sure you can dig a few up and ask 'em about it.

As for our being smarter and better looking, well, some things in this

No. But it does mean that they aren't always valid. I could, for example,
sit on the other side of your wall with an obsolete, 50 year old LIDA
machine (http://www.raven1.net/lida.htm), irradiate you with the proper
frequency and you would decide it was time to take a nap. Without the
proper sensors to tip you off, you would have no idea whatsoever that it
was my idea and not yours.

I don't know at what range Persinger's well known EM hallucination
technique works. That information seems to be classified. Nor can I tell
you exactly how realistic an artificial memory can be implanted by
hypnosis. I can tell you that sufficient doubts are raised by what we do
know about these kind of things that it would be foolish to draw any
conclusions solely on the basis of what people say, even sincere people
who are looking you right in the eye while they talk.

We must take care, as every first year law student is taught routinely,
not to give greater weight to eye witness accounts than we do forensic
evidence. Eye witness accounts are, in fact, the weakest link in the
chain. Perception and memory simply can't be trusted in even the best
circumstances. The way they teach this in law school is by way of a little
theater. At an unannounced moment two distinctive looking people in
distinctive, even slightly bizarre and eye catching dress, rush into the
class room and perform a very brief skit involving some simple props. Then
they leave. The students then write down what they saw and then compare
notes. A large and fairly predictable percent of the student/witnesses
will inevitably find that they were dead wrong about even such basics as
the race and gender of the actors, to say nothing of of their clothing,
the props or what they actually did.

Hence, we must corroborate any account, especially one of a paradigm
shaking event like abduction, with solid forensic evidence. Otherwise, we
stand little chance of ever really knowing what actually happened. All we
know is what somebody said happened.

The sad fact of life in our corrupt and racist court system is that the
government routinely hangs people, innocent and otherwise, on the basis of
less evidence than we have for the existence of Bigfoot or the Loch Ness
Monster. That's just the way it is. But I sure as hell wouldn't want one
to be me. Would you?

Re: [CTRL] Alien Presence? Evidence. .

2000-05-27 Thread DIG alfred webre

OK - Here is what the former French heads of NASA, Air Force, etc say in
their reality-shattering 1999 Cometa report, holding that the
extraterrestrial hypothesis has significant support.  What follows is a
summary by a French scientist.  The 500 cases in the report are hard
evidence.  Ufology is for the patient, BTW.

List members engaging in this thread are at a disadvantage, because they
are victims of a covert information war by the USA government to suppress
facts of the extraterrestrial presence.  If you want to debate this issue,
become informed.  But realize that you (mainly USAers) are in a society whose
government, unlike that of France, suppresses the evidence and
assassinates people like Philip Schneider, a USAer who tied to make this
public.  USAers are only 5% of the global propulation.  The extraterrestrial
hypothesis holds the USA as the PROBLEM not the SOLUTION.  USA mind-set is
also a problem, as 5% of the global population consumes 25% of its resoures.
An extraterrestrial landing would mean the end of a war-based economy, of USA
hegemony, and a more equal world.  So USAers may be in denial or resistance.

The French Report on UFOs and Defence : a short
presentation

   by Gildas Bourdais

It must be stressed here that this is an independant report, written by a
private association called COMETA. It is
summarized here with the approval of the authors.

To translate and publish the report itself, in part or in its integrality,
permission should be asked by writing to the
administrator of the association COMETA, Mr Michel Algrin, 25, boulevard
Saint-Germain, 75005 Paris,
France.

On Friday 16 of July 1999 was published in France an outstanding document,
called "UFOs and Defence. What
must we be prepared for ?" ("Les OVNI et la Défense. A quoi doit-on se
préparer ?") This ninety pages report
is the result of an in depth study of UFOs, covering many aspects of the
subject, especially questions of
defence. The study was carried out during several years by an independant
group of former "auditors" at the
very serious Institute of Higher Studies for National Defence, or IHEDN
("Institut des hautes études de défense
nationale"), and of qualified experts from various fields. Before its public
release, it has been sent to French
President of the Republic Jacques Chirac, and to Prime minister Lionel
Jospin.

This Report is prefaced by General Bernard Norlain, of the Air Force, former
Director of IHEDN, and it begins
with a preamble by André Lebeau, former President of the National Center for
Space Studies ("Centre national
d'études spatiales", CNES),the French equivalent of NASA. The group itself,
collective author of the report, is
an association of experts, many of whom are or have been auditors of IHEDN,
and it is presided over by
General Denis Letty, of the Air Force, former auditor(FA) of IHEDN. Its name
"COMETA" stands for
"Committee for in depth studies".

A non exhaustive list of members is given at the beginning, and it is
impressive enough. It includes : General
Bruno Lemoine, of the Air Force (FA of IHEDN), Admiral Marc Merlo (FA of
IHEDN). Michel Algrin, Doctor in
Political Sciences, attorney at law (FA of IHEDN), General Pierre Bescond,
engineer for armaments (FA of
IHEDN), Denis Blancher, Chief National Police superintendant at the Ministry
ot the Interior, Christian Marchal,
chief engineer of the national "corps des Mines", Research Director at the
"National Office of Aeronautical
Research" (ONERA), General Alain Orszag, Phd in physics, engineer for
armaments.

The committee also expresses its gratitude to outside contributors, among
whom : Jean-Jacques Vélasco,
head of SEPRA at CNES, François Louange, President of Fleximage, specialist
of photo analysis, General
Joseph Domange, of the Air Force, general delegate of the Association of
auditors at IHEDN.

General Norlain tells in a short preface how this committee was created.
General Letty came to see him in
March 1995, when he was Director of IHEDN, to discuss his project of
committee on UFOs. Norlain assured
him of his interest and addressed him to the Association of Auditors (AA) of
IHEDN, which in turn gave him its
support. It is interesting to recall here that, twenty years ago, it was a
report of that same Association which led
to the creation of GEPAN, the first unit for UFO study, at CNES.

As a result, several members of the committee come from the Association of
Auditors of IHEDN,joined by other
experts. Most of them hold, or have held, important functions in defence,
industry, teaching, research,or various
central administrations. General Norlain expresses hope that this report will
help develop new efforts nationally,
and an indispensable international cooperation.

General Letty, as president of COMETA, points to the main theme of the
report, which is that the accumulation
of well documented observations compells us now to consider all hypotheses as
to the origin of UFOs,
especially extraterrestrial hypotheses.

The committee then presents the contents of the study : In a first part,
presentation of some remarkable cases,
both French and foreign ; In a second part, they describe the present
organization of research in France and
abroad, and studies made by scientists worldwide which may bring partial
explanations, in accordance with
known laws of physics. The main global explanations are then reviewed, from
secret crafts to extraterrestrial
manifestations ; In a third part, will be examined measures to be taken
regarding defence, from information of
pilots, both civilian and military, to strategic, political and religious
consequences, should the extraterrestrial
hypothesis be confirmed.

Nice try.your hypothesis goes against the wieght of the physical evidence
(500 cases; French report)...X-Files has made a fortune off that
hypothesisAnd there does appear to be a huge black ET-UFO-Mimic
operations by the covert USA government. I encountered two possible such
operations last week while on the air on radio talk shows in Jackson, MI and
West Hampton, MA.

Nessie, I believe you have it backwards.  The purpose of the black operations
is to attempt to mimic and hence mask authentic Universe presence here.  The
black operations are an attempt by a secret government to appropriate the
extraterrestrial presence, and hence extend its strangle hold over Earth's
resources and population.

What is the extraterrestrial presence?  I beleive it is the "Zoo hypothesis."
You can read more about this in Exopolitics, BTW.

The French Report on UFOs and Defence : a short
presentation

   by Gildas Bourdais

It must be stressed here that this is an independant report, written by a
private association called COMETA. It is
summarized here with the approval of the authors.

To translate and publish the report itself, in part or in its integrality,
permission should be asked by writing to the
administrator of the association COMETA, Mr Michel Algrin, 25, boulevard
Saint-Germain, 75005 Paris,
France.

On Friday 16 of July 1999 was published in France an outstanding document,
called "UFOs and Defence. What
must we be prepared for ?" ("Les OVNI et la Défense. A quoi doit-on se
préparer ?") This ninety pages report
is the result of an in depth study of UFOs, covering many aspects of the
subject, especially questions of
defence. The study was carried out during several years by an independant
group of former "auditors" at the
very serious Institute of Higher Studies for National Defence, or IHEDN
("Institut des hautes études de défense
nationale"), and of qualified experts from various fields. Before its public
release, it has been sent to French
President of the Republic Jacques Chirac, and to Prime minister Lionel
Jospin.

This Report is prefaced by General Bernard Norlain, of the Air Force, former
Director of IHEDN, and it begins
with a preamble by André Lebeau, former President of the National Center for
Space Studies ("Centre national
d'études spatiales", CNES),the French equivalent of NASA. The group itself,
collective author of the report, is
an association of experts, many of whom are or have been auditors of IHEDN,
and it is presided over by
General Denis Letty, of the Air Force, former auditor(FA) of IHEDN. Its name
"COMETA" stands for
"Committee for in depth studies".

A non exhaustive list of members is given at the beginning, and it is
impressive enough. It includes : General
Bruno Lemoine, of the Air Force (FA of IHEDN), Admiral Marc Merlo (FA of
IHEDN). Michel Algrin, Doctor in
Political Sciences, attorney at law (FA of IHEDN), General Pierre Bescond,
engineer for armaments (FA of
IHEDN), Denis Blancher, Chief National Police superintendant at the Ministry
ot the Interior, Christian Marchal,
chief engineer of the national "corps des Mines", Research Director at the
"National Office of Aeronautical
Research" (ONERA), General Alain Orszag, Phd in physics, engineer for
armaments.

The committee also expresses its gratitude to outside contributors, among
whom : Jean-Jacques Vélasco,
head of SEPRA at CNES, François Louange, President of Fleximage, specialist
of photo analysis, General
Joseph Domange, of the Air Force, general delegate of the Association of
auditors at IHEDN.

General Norlain tells in a short preface how this committee was created.
General Letty came to see him in
March 1995, when he was Director of IHEDN, to discuss his project of
committee on UFOs. Norlain assured
him of his interest and addressed him to the Association of Auditors (AA) of
IHEDN, which in turn gave him its
support. It is interesting to recall here that, twenty years ago, it was a
report of that same Association which led
to the creation of GEPAN, the first unit for UFO study, at CNES.

As a result, several members of the committee come from the Association of
Auditors of IHEDN,joined by other
experts. Most of them hold, or have held, important functions in defence,
industry, teaching, research,or various
central administrations. General Norlain expresses hope that this report will
help develop new efforts nationally,
and an indispensable international cooperation.

General Letty, as president of COMETA, points to the main theme of the
report, which is that the accumulation
of well documented observations compells us now to consider all hypotheses as
to the origin of UFOs,
especially extraterrestrial hypotheses.

The committee then presents the contents of the study : In a first part,
presentation of some remarkable cases,
both French and foreign ; In a second part, they describe the present
organization of research in France and
abroad, and studies made by scientists worldwide

I think the point is missed here Andrew.  We both DON'T know that ET's exist, (UFO's 
exist absolutely) we do both know that China exists, thus there is a conflict and this 
argument does not hold water.
What evidence is there that UFO's (and I mean any of them) are physical craft, being 
flown/driven by material "alien" beings from somewhere other than Earth?
My contention is that there is nothing but stories told by witnesses or abductees.  If 
one were to believe them, what evidence is there that these beings did not reveal 
lies, or deliberately conceal the truth of their identity?
Again I believe there is no evidence to support this view.
The "fact" of intelligent life elsewhere is NOT proven, there is NO evidence for it at 
all (my opinion but backed with hard science).  That intelligent ET's are visiting 
Earth for ANY reason is a BELIEF, and as such is unassailable since no argument I put 
forth to refute it will stand up to your innate belief in it.
Mind you, having said all that I am NOT saying FOR CERTAIN that there is no 
intelligent life elsewhere, OR that that life is NOT coming here, or that NO UFO's 
could ever be real alien craft from elsewhere (to say that would imply that I have 
access to all data and near omniscience, which I don't).  The odds are sorely stacked 
against it, in my book, but it is not an impossibility.  I prefer more prosaic 
explanations before jumping to a less likely solution.
We may have to agree to disagree on this issue.

  thanks samantha - I was going to use the china argument - if you've never

 This is PURE BULLSHIT. And stupid to boot.
 
 You KNOW China exists and so do the rest of us. The existence of China is
 an agreed upon fact. If you doubt the existence of China, it's because
 there is a problem with your mind, and not with the existence of China.
 
 This is what I pointed out in a
 previous post about guys like you damaging others' psyches. You can't prove
 your point because it's not real. So what do you need to do? You need to
 destroy in a healthier mind than yours, the 'obviously true' by imposing
 doubt
 of perception when it isn't there.

 I am saying that UFOs and ETs are REAL,

 others are saying that all the proof for them are heresay because you cannot
 touch it.

 so to try to help people get a more real perspective on it - I then say to
 them
 We can't touch ET's - we can't touch China - but we both know that they exist

 hope that clears it up

This post is a good example of fair treatment and good natured back and forth dialogue 
without the personal affronts.  Incidentally I agree with Nessie and say PLEASE tell 
us what you have, and point us to the references that you have intrigued us with in 
this post!
I would also point out that the ability to induce something by technological means can 
never be proof that it was the method used in your (or anyone elses) case [as Nessie 
rightly points out].  However if it can be done and there are "abductees" who give 
"testimony" that what is done to them is the result of such technology, and it is 
being done by good (bad?) old humans, no aliens necessary, THEN logically there 
"evidence" of human origin for ET and abduction phenomenon MUST be given at least 
equal weight as that the abductors are in fact ET's as you (and others) allege.  
Wouldn't you agree?

 I'm sure you believe it is so. It may even be so. Nevertheless Persinger,

In this quote below from the Belgian report summary posted by Alfred there is stated 
that various phenomena that are "non-scientific" are dismissed.  Why is this?  What 
criteria did they use to decide this?  It closes down a whole avenue of research in 
favor of the idea of "aliens".  This does not seem very scientific to me.




In the same chapter are next studied "global
hypotheses". Hoaxes are rare and
easily detected. Some
non-scientific are put aside, such as conspiration
and manipulation by very
secret, powerful groups,
parapsychic phenomena, collective hallucinations.
The hypothesis of secret
weapons is also regarded as very
improbable, the same as "intoxication" at
the time of the cold war, or just
natural phenomena. We are then left
with various extraterestrial hypotheses.

[this is the ultimate sceptical argument by the way - first coined by

If you are asking me to believe that because there is 'anecdotal and third

china along with a story that has some strange names in it - and you expect
me to believe because of that that china exists - then EQUALLY - there is
as much if not more CULTURAL THIRD PARTY EVIDENCE for EXTRA

So if you tell me that CHINA definitely exists - then Non-Human Intelligent

So on those simple grounds alone - if you dismiss ET's [and I think that
there has been and still is plenty of non-human intelligent life on this
planet] - then you cannot claim that your KITCHEN exists if you cannot see

There are Images of Non-Human Beings worshipped, drawn, painted and

Recent ET contact with those stationed at Death valley. This occured about 2
years ago and I have had more esoteric contact in the last few months. Nicky




I read Dreamland in the Rockies by Branton about the ETs under Death
Valley.
After trying to contemplate the meaning of it all, all evening,  when I
woke up in the morning there were 4 men trying really strongly to say hello
by telepathy. I knew it was those Ets under Death Valley as they said it
was. It was so
overpowering like yelling, I didn't know what to do as I didn't want to be
forced into communication, but 4 of them - too many. I wondered if they
were trying to control me so ignored them. They kept it up for 4 days and in
the end I replied -
I'm sorry I just don't like being overpowered like this, it is making my
mind numb do you have a woman on your base? If so may I please speak
with one woman? Straight away this was arranged and I could hear them
analyzing who to choose.

They must have tried to pick my personality
type which to them was some homey artistic type who loved cooking etc.
I am an artist who loves cooking so OK we were definately in tune there
emotionally. We sussed each other out the way women do with feelings and
got quite a rapport going woman to woman style..One problem I only
picked up one single word after 3 days constant communication. But she
was definately my type of friend. But no head connection. The only word
was Lyra and I'm sure of that as I heard it a few times. I had to say by
telepathy back, I
really like this woman but I can't hear her, do you have anyone else who
I may speak with please?

Immediately another woman came, they may have had her as second choice
as they didn't have to spend time looking. She was so intelligent and
sharp and clear that it was making me get a headache. Razor sharp
thoughts maybe a techno wizz or something. I felt as if my brain was on
speed and I was unable to cope so after maybe half a day I said, really
sorry but this lady is too intelligent for me.I couldn't get a message.

Then they had another think and picked out another lady who had a
million ideas and her mind was so cluttered with such a variety of
experiences looked at from all angles that I couldn't pick out any one
thing she was saying.I had to throw in the towel after a couple of days
and say I just can't pick up one single particular thing.Though there
was plenty of it.

Then they had a good think and then a man came through. A man in charge
there. He was as clear as can be as if talking face to face. Perfect
reception, but I think they used technology for it too. But he said that
there were many people from throughout the universe who were working out
ways to stop some other Ets from activating the world gridlines to bring
the earth into a higher frequency. They said they would not let this
occur and had much more advanced technology to stop this.They said they
were not interested in giving us messages to live by and were only
contacting people who took an interest in the state of the world today.
They didn't want to have to explain things as they wanted people to
communicate who would already have looked into such matters as global
politics and ETs etc

They just basically wanted to say and prove that they were here for this
reason, to specifically stop the

of the United States and wounded the governor of Texas, breaking several
bones on the way and making two right angle turns in mid-air in the
process, and emerging virtually unscathed at the end, after being fired
from one of the world's least accurate rifles by a man the Marines say who
couldn't hit the broad side of a barn, who was sitting in a position that
dictated that in order to hold the rifle at the necessary angle to make
the shot would have had to have been able to place the butt of the stock
and his own shoulder several inches inside the wall of the room from which
he is supposed to have fired from. Oh yeah and, this bullet is also
reported to have entered the back of Kennedy's head and exited through the
front even though the big (exit) hole it left was in the back of the head
and the small (entrance) hole was in the front of the head.

  airplanes mean nothing to you?

  When something is reported in the newspaper it is REPORTED in the
  newspaper. A REPORT is not documentation.

  If I believed everything I read in the newspaper I'd be a sorry, deluded
  fool indeed. It was the newspaper, remember, that reported America's
  quintessential UFO, the so-called "Magic Bullet" that killed the president
  of the United States and wounded the governor of Texas, breaking several
  bones on the way and making two right angle turns in mid-air in the
  process, and emerging virtually unscathed at the end, after being fired
  from one of the world's least accurate rifles by a man the Marines say who
  couldn't hit the broad side of a barn, who was sitting in a position that
  dictated that in order to hold the rifle at the necessary angle to make
  the shot would have had to have been able to place the butt of the stock
  and his own shoulder several inches inside the wall of the room from which
  he is supposed to have fired from. Oh yeah and, this bullet is also
  reported to have entered the back of Kennedy's head and exited through the
  front even though the big (exit) hole it left was in the back of the head
  and the small (entrance) hole was in the front of the head.

  Newspapers? Yeah right.

Re: [CTRL] Alien Presence? Evidence. .

2000-05-26 Thread tenebroust

Samantha, there have been "sightings" of all kinds throughout history, it is you, and 
others of similar mindset (those who are inclined to believe in alien visitation, not 
that there is anything wrong with that) who classify these things as UFO's flown by 
aliens, with not one lick of evidence to support it.  People have been seeing things 
and making mention of it since man has been around, I am inclined to believe that they 
are seeing something real, but I can only conclude that it is a phenomenon that as yet 
is unexplained, it could be alien driven machines, but I doubt it for a whole host of 
reasons.  Let's not forget that people in the past interpreted these things within 
their own cultural context, thus to some they were angels, or devils, or faeries, or 
ghosts, or other fabulous creatures.  Why are those explanations not just as valid as 
your theory that they are UFO's driven by aliens coming to earth from elsewhere?  I am 
open to possibilities on this issue, but always take a more prosaic view especially 
towards modern day (post 1947) sightings.  The upsurge in UFO sightings, in the USA in 
recent times is due IN MY OPINION to secret aircraft and these flights and 
misrepresentation as UFO's and scoffed at by real scientists serve to divert attention 
from black projects and cover them perfectly.  That is a much more prosaic and 
plausible explanation than that they are aliens from somewhere else, here for some 
unnamed purpose.  Don't you agree?  Yet I can never say they all are, or even 
conclusively that ANY of them are as I describe them.  It is just my belief.  As for 
older sightings, I haven't a clue, although I am not averse to the idea of remnanats 
of super advanced HUMAN societies from the past still hidden in secluded spots sending 
out "ships" to spy on our development as ONE explanation (even though it is almost as 
far fetched as the mysterious aliens from elsewhere and might even be said to be 
ludicrous by some).  I am also open to the interpretation that these things have been 
given by those who examine the phenomena from a cultural context, that they are 
glimpses of some other dimension, or spiritual beings of some kind, or archetypes from 
the collective unconscious of humanity.  I also think they might be living things that 
are rarely seen and have never been studied, and finally that they MIGHT, just MIGHT 
be alien driven machines.  A lot of these possibilities are way down on my list of 
probability.  My main point is not to limit your conclusions to one possible 
explanation when there are many possibilities.

Re: [CTRL] Alien Presence? Evidence. .

2000-05-26 Thread tenebroust

This is all well and good.  Speculation and examination of possibilities is a good 
thing.  If you believe that the evidence that is available supports your idea that 
(some) UFO's (as I'm sure even you die hard ET believers will admit that some UFO's 
fall into other categories, like secret aircraft, misidentification, etc.) are ALIEN 
craft being driven/flown by material beings from somewhere other than Earth, then good 
for you.  That does not mean that everyone has to believe it.  But feel free to state 
your case accordingly.
I will ask this question again here for you Andrew and others who believe the ET 
theory to explain UFO's.  IF, UFO's (at least those that are truly anomolous and 
unidentified) ARE
NON-human in origin, as you allege, then what evidence is there that they are MATERIAL 
craft being driven/flown by ALIEN beings from somewhere other than Earth, and not, for 
example, extradimensional, or demonic, or as yet unidentified natural phenomena?  Even 
if one was to resort to the abduction phenomenon and rely on abductees totally 
subjective experience to go by, what evidence is there that the beings they purport to 
see and interact with are LIVING and MATERIAL and from somewhere other than Earth?  If 
one was to accept that they told the abductee that they were from Orions Nebula (or 
wherever) and that they were here for (whatever reason) what evidence is there that 
they are not LYING to cover up some other thing?
Some UFO's MAY be craft from elsewhere but let us not be so demanding that one 
explanation fit the bill, and let us get priorities of evidence in line.  It is MUCH 
more probable that UFO's are something other than alien driven craft from somewhere 
other than Earth, and that is true no matter what way you slice it.  BUT, that does 
not mean they all are or that none of them are alien driven craft from somewhere else. 
 Let us at least be circumspect in how we handle "evidence" and not give less likely 
explanations more weight than they deserve simply because it supports our mindset.
Extraterrestrial life?  Yes.
Extraterrestrial Intelligent life?  MY OPINION and belief is, NO.
UFO's fall in several categories as to identity.  See my earlier post for some of my 
ideas, each of which has, in my opinion a degree of probability, as does the idea that 
UFO's are alien craft.  I think the preponderance of evidence (as well as physics and 
logic) make the ET origin of UFO's a very low probability, though NOT zero by any 
means.

This is PURE BULLSHIT. And stupid to boot.

You KNOW China exists and so do the rest of us. The existence of China is
an agreed upon fact. If you doubt the existence of China, it's because
there is a problem with your mind, and not with the existence of China.

This is what I pointed out in a
previous post about guys like you damaging others' psyches. You can't prove
your point because it's not real. So what do you need to do? You need to
destroy in a healthier mind than yours, the 'obviously true' by imposing doubt
of perception when it isn't there. This is ( low quality ) mind control for
purely selfish purposes. This is an act of violence against people's minds.
It's called a mind fuck. It's what we don't like when the government, or
commercial advertisers subject us to the vary same thing.

 alright. But are they here? Maybe. But we have no proof. To proceed from
 an a priori assumption is irrational.
 
 The world is overrun with belief systems based on a priori assumptions.
 They're all irrational.

 I was abducted and was privvy to imagery for which there was no a priori

The above statement shows that (in order of logical probability )...

You are a liar.
You are deluding yourself.
You are insane.
You have a pecuniary motive for claiming this.
You are somehow getting an emotional payoff.
It is true.

 yet the hottest non-human UFO news on the planet as far as I'm concerned
 is the ease with which we can talk about reptile life forms and dig up
 piles of contemporary and archaeological evidence to qualify what we're
 talking about.
 
 OK, let's see the evidence of sentient reptiles, "shape shifting" or
 otherwise. Trot it out. I'll look.
 
 thats kind of you - but its a big topic -

 we may start with,

More stories. More bullshit. More conjecture. Yada, yada, yada.
NO HARD EVIDENCE.

 india, or africa, or greece, or china, or south america,
 or europe for the historical stuff - or maybe refer to a book written by a
 researcher in 1790, or look at the stuff Dr John Dee was into in
 elizabethan times - or maybe I could get my mate Dave to send you the video
 we made of Brenda Butler - who had a lodger called david daniels who scared
 the living daylights out of her, or the work we did here on the cottinglea
 faeries photos and how they had been painted with faeries to cover up
 shapechangeing elsie wright - we have an original photo of her looking Very
 Large and not at all like a young slim lady  but since you're in a

 that you recieve by computer is
 a posteriori [after the fact] - one could always argue why you might be on

  Surely you've heard of the Belgian sightings, tracked by the Belgian Air
Force with radar shown on television.  These are unidentified.  The Belgian
Air Force doesn't think they could be man-made.

  News reports in the 19th century, documented in "Above Top Secret?"  Are
you in possession of some proof that we had disk-shaped flight capacity
before the invention of the airplane?  Do multiple sightings documented in
newspapers before the invention of airplanes mean nothing to you?

  I'd never dream that my ideas are above criticism, and never once implied
otherwise.  I think the screech level that arises on this list when anyone
brings up the subject of UFOs is quite telling.  There's plenty of evidence,
anecdotal and otherwise, that unidentified objects have been flying in our
skies for a century or more.  There's evidence, not proof.  But what do any

bad
 judgment than good judgment.

 In our society there are few tools which help

 "Oh my god I stepped in Unicorn shit!"

 That would be bad judgment because you did not correctly judge the
physical
 situation. In nature, those individuals which miss-judge the physical
 environment more than others, significantly improve the common gene pool
 by leaving it.

 The people who diminish your judgment OR your ability to trust your
 judgment, or prevent you from developing your judgment, are doing you
 the individual, real harm. This is done both intentionally and
unintentionally
 in our interactions with people. The measure is, how many of the "events "
to
 which you are exposed during the course of any given period of time, turn
out
 to be true. This includes tv, songs, mags, books, commercials, ads,
billboards,
 salespeople, friends, relatives, strangers with candy, and the clergy.

 The more truth you are exposed to, the more you can collect as valid
 experiential data to internalize, and be a base to do comparisons with.
 Judgment ensues when you compare an experience
 in the moment, with what you have learned is true. This might also be
called
 having common sense.

 So the following ...

  Dear Ten,
   I would be happier if you could qualify your claim. What is
your
  evidence for there being 'absolutely no "hard" evidence for ET
  visitatuion' ?
  That I, myself, have not knowingly been exposed to any, does not tell me
  therefore that such evidence does not exist.

 is telling you that your experiential internal base WHICH HAS TAKEN YOU
YEARS
 TO ACCUMULATE AND WHICH HAS SUCCESSFULLY BROUGHT YOU TO YOUR PRESENT POINT
 OF SURVIVAL, should be put aside in order to accept a concept some one
wants
 you to share. This is corruption. You are asked to put asside trustworthy
data
 and replace it with " something else."

 Unless YOU YOURSELF has ever directly experienced contact with an alien or
 alien paraphernalia, you have no reason to assume that the more unlikely
 experience is the true one.

microossils

Dear J2,
many thanks for your considered contribution to this thread, a few
further commments of clarification re my position if I may:

 
  Dear Ten,
   I would be happier if you could qualify your claim. What is your
  evidence for there being 'absolutely no "hard" evidence for ET
  visitatuion' ?

 You are requesting that he  prove a negative on the same basis as proving,
 (with hard evidence,) the existence of aliens here on Earth. This is a no no.


My intent here was not a request for proof, but merely to establish the
basis of the strong negative claim made. My own position remains
an agnostic one on this issue (coming clean, therefore, I am a skeptic
rather than a cynic).

 Firstly, We ( J2- made the original claim that there is no hard evidence of
 intelligent alien existence on Earth )are NOT required to prove that aliens
 don't exist. The more extraordinary the claim, the more solid the evidence
 needs to be. There is none. What there is plenty of, is 'stories'.

  therefore that such evidence does not exist.

 If you deconstruct this sentence you will find a very a problematic
 suggestion. These words if taken in a serious context, will cause you to
 undermine your own judgment.

Maybe so, but this is a risk that I am prepared to take in guiding my
intellectual growth trajectory. I find that a healthy skepticism keep me
open-minded and more likely to entertain a wider variety of novel
solutions to unsolved problems. I am not happy to hold the view that
something is NOT the case on a priori grounds. The search for
inconsistencies and falsification would appear to better satisfy my
curiosity, whilst at the same time entertaining as wide a number of
possibible explanations as conceivable (which ideally should reduce in
number as data continues to comes in).


 In our society there are few tools which help
 develop judgment. School should be one of those tools but it's not. TV could
 be the best tool but it entirely monopolized by people who know for CERTAIN
 that a consumer with good judgment is a very bad business idea. Aint gonna

 So it's up to each individual to start his/her own Judgment Buildup Program.
 It's tougher than body building. Every one will encourage you to build up your
 body.

With these sentiments I would largely agree. The evolution of the
brain/nervous system is co-emergent with the evolution of what we call
intellegence. The mind/brain system would appear, at least to me, to have
evolved as much a problem-seeking device, not just a problem-solving
device.
Much of our formal education establishment activity (possibly not
guided by pedagogic aims alone) involves the teaching of WHAT to learn
rather than HOW to learn. I find that my brand of 'healthy skepticism'
allows an emergent process of "learning to learn" which scaffolds
exponentially (in the face of some degree of task-success, of course).
This latter learning-to-learn scenario supercedes (although operates
partially in addition to) more 'reflexive', hard-wired behaviours not
necessarily requiring much intellectual input under normal circumstances
(e.g., blushing, panting, hearing [can you urn your ears 'off' ?] and the
chemotoxin regulation processing of the liver).


 If all your life you had never experienced the lingering aroma of Unicorn
 droppings, and you are running through a beautiful meadow, and your foot
 crashes through the crusty crown of cow crap, and the home baked smell of
 cooling cow pie wafts you in the face, your first thought ought not be -
 "Oh my god I stepped in Unicorn shit!"


OK, here, I would propose that it would be "what's this funny brown stuff
on my foot, coincident with that novel aroma ? - have I come across
anything like this before ?"
It would not be efficient at that time to decide what it was not (the
exponetial list of possibilities will always be too large a set). The job
at hand is to decide whether and what action be required on my part in the
face of this novel situation once recognised as such.

 The people who diminish your judgment OR your ability to trust your
 judgment, or prevent you from developing your judgment, are doing you
 the individual, real harm. This is done both intentionally and unintentionally
 in our interactions with people.

Yep, so keep an open mind and watch how many explanations are quickly
ruled out due to lack of knowledge, rather than lack of evidence. It is
not always obvious to the uninformed what one might 'need' to know in
order to establish existence proof of some phenomenon. [e.g.,knowing
what cholestrerol is/functions to do before deciding whether one needs
to change diet in order to ingest more or less of it; or knowing what
detector device switches causes the wee red light to blink before
deciding whether the fuel level is really needing a top up]. On the other

happen. Religion...to put it politely is not the right tool for the job.

So it's up to each individual to start his/her own Judgment Buildup Program.
It's tougher than body building. Every one will encourage you to build up your
body.

If all your life you had never experienced the lingering aroma of Unicorn
droppings, and you are running through a beautiful meadow, and your foot
crashes through the crusty crown of cow crap, and the home baked smell of
cooling cow pie wafts you in the face, your first thought ought not be -
"Oh my god I stepped in Unicorn shit!"

That would be bad judgment because you did not correctly judge the physical
situation. In nature, those individuals which miss-judge the physical
environment more than others, significantly improve the common gene pool
by leaving it.

The people who diminish your judgment OR your ability to trust your
judgment, or prevent you from developing your judgment, are doing you
the individual, real harm. This is done both intentionally and unintentionally
in our interactions with people. The measure is, how many of the "events " to
which you are exposed during the course of any given period of time, turn out
to be true. This includes tv, songs, mags, books, commercials, ads, billboards,
salespeople, friends, relatives, strangers with candy, and the clergy.

The more truth you are exposed to, the more you can collect as valid
experiential data to internalize, and be a base to do comparisons with.
Judgment ensues when you compare an experience
in the moment, with what you have learned is true. This might also be called
having common sense.

So the following ...

 Dear Ten,
  I would be happier if you could qualify your claim. What is your
 evidence for there being 'absolutely no "hard" evidence for ET
 visitatuion' ?
 That I, myself, have not knowingly been exposed to any, does not tell me
 therefore that such evidence does not exist.

is telling you that your experiential internal base WHICH HAS TAKEN YOU YEARS
TO ACCUMULATE AND WHICH HAS SUCCESSFULLY BROUGHT YOU TO YOUR PRESENT POINT
OF SURVIVAL, should be put aside in order to accept a concept some one wants
you to share. This is corruption. You are asked to put asside trustworthy data
and replace it with " something else."

Unless YOU YOURSELF has ever directly experienced contact with an alien or
alien paraphernalia, you have no reason to assume that the more unlikely
experience is the true one.

 (At least for one example, the evidence with regards meteoric microossils
 would appear to be growing since The Murchison work by Pfloog/Hoyle back
 in the late 70s.

We are not talking about space bacteria or viruses. We are talking about

Reviewed by Nicky Molloy

This is one of the most deeply thought provoking books I've read in some
time.
Alfred appears right in his perception that almost a majority of US adults
know intuitively that we are a part of a populated universe and have been
kept in the dark about the implications of this. Can our intuition override
deliberate disinformation about this disributed by officials? The rest of
society who choose not to believe there is life out there have been deceived
from birth. This could possibly constitute the need to evolve more and may
even as Alfred suggests reveal the real reason why we have been quarantined

Re: [CTRL] Alien Presence? Evidence. .

2000-05-22 Thread tenebroust

Your points as copied below are quite good ones and deserve to be answered.  You are 
right when you say that it is not valid to assume that there IS NO evidence just 
because I (or you) have never seen or examined it.  (Though it may be logical to INFER 
it, unless you would argue that all of the evidence that has ever existed to prove the 
assertion is either destroyed, undiscovered as of yet, or kept secret by nefarious 
governments.  If the latter is the assertion then I would say that such cannot be 
logically supported either because it would be logical to assume that at least SOME, 
if even a very small amount of the total, of evidence in support of the theory would 
be found, and examined by people who would wish the information to be known).  Thus I 
will qualify my statements to this effect; since no hard evidence of extraterrestrial 
life (except for the POSSIBILITY of bacteria like objects which MAY be present in 
martian meteors found on Earth) has been presented, and that if one is to postulate 
INTELLIGENT life from "elsewhere" and make a connection to the UFO phenomenon, I say 
that they then MUST present proof since such MAY violate laws of physics (faster than 
light travel, time travel, etc.), or simple logic (why come to THIS little piss-ant 
planet on the rim of an inconsequential galaxy?).  THEREFORE, while I cannot PROVE 
that aliens have not come, or indeed, that they are not STILL coming to this island 
Earth, it is not incumbent upon me to prove a negative assertion, though I am 
perfectly willing to evaluate any evidence that is presented and stand ready to amend 
my view.  It is the province of those who assert the theory that aliens HAVE BEEN here 
(and continue to come?) to PROVE or at least ATTEMPT to prove that their theory should 
be accepted.  My point is that there is no evidence to support such claims.  Thank you 
for the reasoned response.

 By aplying your same logic to the converse case, 'Interpretations and
 inherent beliefs' might just as likely 'cause' one not to see "aliens"
 for what they are be they present.

 Just a thought.

 There is absolutely no "hard" evidence of extraterrestrial visitation of
the Earth.  There is quite a lot of anecdote, and supposition however.  I
would also venture to say that there is NO evidence of ANY kind, "hard" or
otherwise, but I won't try to press that point.  Interpretation and inherent
beliefs cause one to see "aliens" everywhere, just like Van Daaniken (sp?).
