STOP THIS SHIT.
Media is abuzz with the “mystery” of UFOs over New Jersey. Even the fake “independent” commentators, like Saagar, are getting into the act. Our Martian hasn’t been around for a while. He dropped in to give one message: STOP IT! You’re ruining your own reputation for independence! A drone is not a UFO by fucking…

EHD = UFO? EHD = GOD?
Two years ago I was on a UFO kick. I animated Armstrong’s electrohydrodynamic generator, speculating that it might have been the power source for the disc-type UFOs. The same generator led to a different form of speculation in a wonderful 1860 book by Rev Sidney. He explores all the known principles and uses of electricity,…

Kirn reaches the same
I stopped following Kirn regularly after he seemed to be drifting toward the convergence that comes with fame. He’s always an astute observer when his paycheck doesn’t interfere. He’s been reading up on UFOs lately and reached the same conclusion that I did: = = = = = START KIRN: I’ve reached a tentative but…

Unlike most questions….
The UFO distraction is coming into the “news” again. Underneath the noise, there is one basic question. Do intelligent lifeforms live on other planets? Unlike most “philosophical” questions such as the origin of the universe or Free Will, this is a simple physical question which CAN be answered, at least in one particular narrow circumstance.…

Aliens
Via NewSuperstitionist: Adult starfish are not bilateral because they don’t have a body. A starfish is just a “head walking about the seafloor on its lips”. The larva is bilateral and looks like other simple invertebrates, a worm with head and tail. When it morphs into an adult, it stops expressing the genes for body…

Klaatu landed.
In the ’50s a constant theme of scifi was the benevolent alien who tried to persuade Earthlings to stop fighting. Of course the scifi writers were orthodox Deepstaters, so Klaatu was always talking to the “aggressive” “Communists”, never talking to the “gentle” and “peaceful” US bombers and intel agencies. Now we have an interesting invasion…

GOC 2.0
The military has allegedly lost a super-expensive F-35 jet, and is asking the public to help find it. Happened before. In the 50s the military organized the Ground Observer Corps, who were allegedly tasked with watching for enemy aircraft. Russia wasn’t trying to attack us then. Russia has NEVER tried to attack us. So the…

It’s not hard
More silliness on UFOs. Everyone seems to be stuck on the mystery of instant acceleration, which is impossible for a massive body. Instant acceleration is NOT impossible for electrical charge, including a visible bundle of electrical charge. Nature uses fast-moving bundles of electrostatic charge all the time and everywhere, from nervous systems to earthquakes to…

The first oil boom was NOT here.
The latest FOIA from John Greenewald at BlackVault is a brief account of a UFO sighting by Sen Richard Russell on a 1955 trip through the Soviet Union. Near Baku, Russell saw a greenish bright orb rising from the ground. He told the other people in the group, who hadn’t seen the orb. A second…

Today is UFO day!
Time to revisit the UFOdeo! We’re looking at an old tourist court, with a shady-looking truck and trailer parked in one of the spaces. It’s a 1915 Pierce truck, with some unique features. The four-speed transmission had a semi-freewheeling device. When you pushed the clutch down all the way, the input shaft of the gearbox…

Motives vs motes
In response to the latest shift in UFO hemlines, smart people are speculating on the motives of aliens who send rockets a million light years through space and then crash repeatedly. We should first ask why WE wanted to play the space game in the ’50s and ’60s. It made no sense and had no…

Why the inversion?
Sailer catches the same inversion that I was noticing earlier. Back in the ’50s and ’60s we had lots of serious reports of UFOs, including several from astronauts. Weather radar and ship radar often tracked the vehicles, so they weren’t insects or lens flares. Also back in the ’50s and ’60s, the same government that…

Better argument
I haven’t bothered to notice the moon-landing theories until now. I saw no convincing reasons to doubt the conventional story. Now the former head of Russia’s space agency asks several questions based on his own experience and knowledge. 1. He was thoroughly familiar with the condition of cosmonauts. When they returned from a long trip…

What would be familiar?
Listening to continuing coverage of the writers strike. They’re mentioning all the companies that make movies and how the companies are handling the strike. What would a 1950s movie writer think if she tuned into this broadcast through an ionospheric timewarp? How would the Martian visitor explain it? Martian: Well, they’re striking against Paramount, NBC/Universal,…

Eastasia Eurasia Eastasia Eurasia
One of the Wendy Connors UFO collections at Archive.org has a lengthy and informative review, written in 2013. During the earlier years, these reports were taken more seriously than today and public discourse included scientists as well as senior figures in the US military. The panel-show format hadn’t become quite as ossified as it currently…
