1 Fine w/NASA & #ufos but SS article is lacking, as usual.

"by seeking to flag anomalous, unexplained occurrences in NASA’s data, scientists are at least as likely to discover new, exotic-but-earthly atmospheric phenomena as they are 2 find any credible evidence of ET visitors"
2 If I could rewrite the SS article:

"...scientists are at least as likely to discover new, exotic-but-earthly atmospheric phenomena as they are to find any credible evidence of ET visitors. However, they may also learn that said earthly, atmospheric phenomena may turn out to be
3 "something totally unexpected, more exotic & paradigm-changing than they bargained for. Last year, former director of the CIA, John Brennan said UFOs, 'could involve some type of activity that some might say constitutes a different form of life.' If Brennan, who obviously had
4 access to data most of us may never see, turns out to be right, what will it mean for humanity and our place in the cosmos? Or, more importantly, our place on our own planet, in our own backyard? Are we about to learn human beings aren't at the top of the food chain?
5 Is there something else here that remains elusive & more intelligent than all of our top scientists put together? And if that's the case, how will humanity handle such news, & how will NASA or some other government agency disseminate the information? Or will they just sit on
6 it because it has the potential to upset lots of apple carts all over the globe?

~End of my hypothetical article~

SS said experts need to, "strike a balance between open-mindedness & rigorous skepticism"

How about rigorous open-mindedness, @ScolesSarah?

Stop focusing on ET

1 #UFO Fact Check

DIRDs cost $15,000 a piece or $570,000 for all 38 studies. A bargain!

Most of AAWSAP's $22 million went towards hiring 50 FT BAASS folks to work on the phenomenon. This is something we need 2 replicate & everybody should support that. But next time, no Bigelow
2 Hal Puthoff: "I was contracted to commission papers from experts around the globe. And since we didn’t want to be in the position of going out and saying, 'Hey, we’re trying to figure out this UFO thing. Umm, you know, can you help us out here?' I mean, the publicity associated

1 #healing #ufo - John Alexander on Bill Bengston and his method that heals mice of cancer.

JA: "The Bengston Healing Energy Method It’s all about cycling, a mental process in which the healer mentally rotates through a series of self-chosen images having nothing to do with the
2 JA: "subject or patient. Scientifically, that makes no sense. The results, however, are undeniable. Bill Bengston is among the very interesting healers with whom I have trained. The Bengston Healing Energy Method is one of the most researched of alternative healing processes.
3 JA: "That is not to say it is understood, let alone accepted by the conventional medical or scientific communities. It should be. Bill, a professor at St. Joseph’s College in New York, has provided decades of detailed experimentation on energy healing. As the current president

1 Ask @alejandrotrojas, who has shit all over ("silly," "goofy," "stupid") Wilson/Davis, why he booked and promoted Reed back in the day?

"International UFO Congress (promo): 'The Dr. Jonathan Reed case has been one of the most widely challenged and debated cases in UFO history.
2 "'This presentation by 3 reputable researchers will proffer a staggering amount of hard facts and substantive evidence in support of the case, including video testimony of people who knew Dr. Reed in his life and professional field.'
3 "Art Bell: 'Dr Reed, your critics are frantic to disprove this case.'"

(I think AR also has Michael Schratt spewing bullshit about Dan Burish at one of the International UFO Congress conferences. 🤦🏻‍♂️)

1 #healing - I believe this is the first paper Bengston (& Krinsley) published in a peer-reviewed journal. This one was in the Journal of Scientific Exploration, @SSE_Tweets, which is NOT mainstream & which takes on papers most journals won't. Paranormal is fine for them. #ufo
2 Abstract—After witnessing numerous cases of cancer remission associated with a healer who used “laying on of hands” in New York, one of us (W.B. ) “apprenticed” in techniques alleged to reproduce the healing effect. We obtained five experimental mice with mammary adenocarcinoma
3 (code: H2712; host strain: C3H/HeJ; strain of origin: C3H/HeHu), which had a predicted 100% fatality between 14 and 27 days subsequent to injection. Bengston treated these mice for 1 hour per day for 1 month. The tumors developed a “blackened area,” then they ulcerated,

1 #ufo - For once, Manny & I agree. It's impressive that @JeremyCorbell was able to accomplish all of this & I suspect the martial arts is what helped him keep his focus & achieve success. He's also is an artist but that came about due to a serious illness he acquired in Nepal.
2 "The transition from Warrior to Artist began while traveling in Nepal, where he acquired a near-fatal respiratory disease that changed his life. No longer able to train martial arts, Corbell found strength in painting on vintage doors salvaged from local demolitions around his
3 "childhood home. The recovery experience accidentally launched his new life as an Artist."

I'm glad folks like Manny have stopped taking cheap shots @ Jeremy bc they don't believe Lazar or they don't like his style. Nice 2C pettiness start to fade.

1 #ufo @g_knapp & Kelleher covered that possibility in Hunt 4 the Skinwalker (05). Why don't skeptics mention that? A bias against Knapp? Or against paranormal?

HFTS "The suggestion...that the ranch was the site of some sort of clandestine military experiment cannot b ruled out
2 HFTS: "entirely. The military & intelligence communities have vast resources @ their disposal. They undoubtedly possess technological capabilities that are far beyond anything that is known in the public sector. And in the past, they have certainly demonstrated a willingness to
3 HFTS: "carry out psychological warfare exercises, disinformation campaigns, and surveillance programs against unwitting civilian populations, even when such
programs are clearly illegal.

"Could the military be responsible for the phenomena observed at the ranch?
