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…

Pierce trucks 2
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 was slowed down, allowing a…

More techtonic motion
When ArsTechnica argues against Deepstate, the techtonic plates have definitely shifted. Normally ArsTechnica and Wired and TechCrunch are eager to defend ABSOLUTELY EVERY CRIME committed by CIA/NSA/Pentagon. Now Ars is showing healthy skepticism about the recent pro-UFO tack by Deepstate. I was generally impressed by the 1950’s disks and acorns. Those were NOT obvious artifacts,…

Great Smith footnote
Bought a coffee-table book on Great Cars of the Great Plains by Curt McConnell. It features five notable and fairly successful early autos, including the Great Smith of Topeka. One of them, Moon in St Louis, became a mid-sized company and lasted till 1929. Most auto histories mention the Moon, if only because its factory…

Revolutionary design?
NASA announces with great fanfare a revolutionary method of propelling rockets. The RDRE differs from a traditional rocket engine by generating thrust using a supersonic combustion phenomenon known as a detonation. This design produces more power while using less fuel than today’s propulsion systems and has the potential to power both human landers and interplanetary…

UFO joke
Another fine joke from upjoke.com Aliens have arrived on earth. They command a huge event with all the world leaders in attendance. The Pope asks, “Do you know Jesus Christ?” The aliens say, “Do we ever? Awesome guy! He swings by the planet every year to say Hi!” “Every year? What!!?? We’re still waiting for…

Problem solved!
Our noble leaders are warning us to be VEEEEEEEEEEEERY PATIENT, because it takes a VEEEEEEEEERY LONG TIME to count votes. Obviously we need a technical fix. Polistra has a fresh Innovative Disruptive idea! We need a machine that works something like an abacus, except a whole lot faster. She realizes that this is WAY beyond…

Alien beeings
Latest research on bees and charge: For about three minutes, part of the migrating swarm passed over the electric field monitor. This revealed a net positive field intensity of 100 volts per meter at peak density. This effect was not observed in a second control meter positioned in the open field 50 meters away from…

Like Hank says….
In a topic with very little definite (unclassified) information available, a well-regulated imagination is more important than math. Well, actually that goes for all topics. Math is not the foundation of the universe or the foundation of anything. It’s an occasionally useful descriptive tool. Here’s what happens when academicians try to discuss life on other…

Same old trick
Government “investigations” are always coverups. When the government “investigates” a subject, it tries to frame and blame the wrong people for a government crime. If the subject isn’t a crime, the “investigation” sucks up the remaining truth and replaces it with toxin. Activists who call for an “investigation” to “hold the government accountable” are either…

Taking on water
In the ’47-65 period when disc UFOs were reported everywhere, several people saw a disc hovering over a lake or pond, siphoning or pumping large quantities of water. This wouldn’t make sense for an electric motor or even a small nuclear plant. Our long-distance satellites have mini nuke reactors, and they don’t need water. Taking…

Wonderful!
For some reason I missed this a couple months ago. If I had seen it, I might have been less quibbly about the project! Avi shows his work. The world is full of ‘alt’ tech and ‘alt’ social media and ‘alt’ money projects, which grind and grind and eventually dissolve into factions and fractions because…

What would Proverbial think?
If the proverbial Martian picked up scenes like this while monitoring Earth TV, what would he think? People are standing and sitting bent over. Many of them are using crutches and canes and wheelchairs. If he was a proverbial evolutionist as well as a proverbial Martian, he’d automatically assume we were dropping back to quadrupedal…
