I think it's all part of the alien disclosure that is coming soon to a TV set near you. Stay tuned. That's what i think. I am allowed to have an opinion, right?

Yes, but if you have it out loud, then others have the right to judge your opinion.

To get some reading on how popular the reptilian brain metaphor is (as a stand in for our baser instincts), you might try using Google Ngram.

https://books.google.com/ngrams

“When you enter phrases into the Google Books Ngram Viewer, it displays a graph showing how those phrases have occurred in a corpus of books (e.g., "British English", "English Fiction", "French") over the selected years.”


I typed in “reptile brain” and “base instincts” and got the graph below. The phrases track each other, as if they’ve been somehow tied to each since about 1860 (when biologists first started communicating with each about homologous anatomical features and their evolutionary functions). But the correlation between the two phrases doesn’t really establish itself until somewhere around 1960 (which is when Paul MacLean called attention to the speculative psychological functions of the triune brain). The popular use of both phrases peaked almost together in the early 1980s (Carl Sagan popularized the triune brain and its reptilian component in his 1977 book The Dragons of Eden, which came out in paperback a few years later). By the late 1990s the usages plateau but are still prevalent, indicating that the reptile brain had by then become a worn, yet common metaphor for our baser instincts. (MacLean wrote a popular book on the triune brain, but it the idea was too tired to really take off again).

Clearly, you don’t need to know neuroscience or even be talking about neuroscience to use the reptilian brain metaphor. You might be talking about marketing ( http://www.risdall.com/blog/2013/05/...ptilian-brain/ ) ( http://randomthoughts.club/youtube.p...eo=u8yWevsIfaE ), or new age philosophy ( http://www.collective-evolution.com/...reative-power/ ) or you might be talking to The View about racial and gender prejudice ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cQ7x8hFYMUQ )

The President was quite clearly using the reptilian brain metaphor in its tired old standard American English form. But to insinuate he is incapable of talking without a teleprompter or about neuroscience or any of a number of complex topics is insulting (something you said you didn't do). You give, and you shall receive in kind.

Ancient Aliens Created 13 Crystal Skulls

http://www.crystalskulls.com/images-pr/gathering.jpg

The crystal skulls are human skull hardstone carvings made of clear or milky white quartz, known in art history as "rock crystal", claimed to be pre-Columbian Mesoamerican artifacts by their alleged finders; however, none of the specimens made available for scientific study have been authenticated as pre-Columbian in origin.


Paranormal claims and spiritual associations
Some believers in the paranormal claim that crystal skulls can produce a variety of miracles. Anna Mitchell-Hedges claimed that the skull she allegedly discovered could cause visions, cure cancer, that she once used its magical properties to kill a man, and that in another instance, she saw in it a premonition of the John F. Kennedy assassination.


http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FK2dDAsL6bI


Ancient wisdom
All 13 crystal skulls said to have come into the possession of the Mayan people, one of the ancient world's most sophisticated and mysterious races before their civilisation crumbled more than 1,000 years ago.

They were supposedly lost for many centuries in the jungles and oceans of Central America but legend has it that they contain ancient wisdom vital for the survival of mankind. They were also thought to contain answers to some of the greatest mysteries of the universe.

According to Mayan teachings, all 13 skulls would be rediscovered one day and brought together for their wisdom to be made available.

I am reminded of the allusion to the reptilian brain in a letter Einstein wrote to Marie Curie describing her critics. He called her critics reptiles...probably an early allusion to the fact that reptiles are not viewed as the most reflective of animals.

President Obama seems to do pretty well in nationally televised debates without a teleprompter. Out of six debates with McCain and Romney, he was believed by a majority of viewers to have won five of them.

lol...damn ,
I remember when I was a kid, magazines and newspapers, like The National Enquirer did articles on the skulls, claiming they were from the lost civilization of Atlantis. Skeptic magazine did an article or two on them (I LOVE that magazine...they now have an app and you can buy it for your tablet from Amazon. I did just that-the newest issue is on 'food myths'...but it could get a bit pricey if you were to buy all the back issues too, though I will probably do that...at a snails pace [I read slooowwww]...) debunking all the myths about the skulls. You can just check Wiki...the skulls are dated to the 19th century...probably Germany, including Anna Mitchell-Hedges' skull (the crystal one, not her own).

But the Batchild...he's real and he's alien. :)

I want to believe, but...
Why do they always abduct rednecks from Buttfuck, Nowhere?

Time to own up, Billybob, dyeing your mullet green and fucking your cousin in the arse when he's drunk is taking the joke TOO FUCKING FAR!

Hi everyone,

Whoopie Goldberg: "In the 1967 movie,
Guess Who's Coming to Dinner, Sidney
Poitier says to his father. 'You think of
yourself as a Negro man and i think of
myself as a man and that's the
difference.' "
"Is that still relevent, today?", Whoopie asks,
and then adds, "I ask you - what ARE we?
Who ARE we?"

Barrack Obama: "Well, we are Americans.
We share common hopes. We share common
dreams. We share common aspirations. We're
going through common struggles. I mean, the
fact of the matter is, is that everybody here,
and i look out of this audience - and it's
representative of the country - everybody here
is connected in some fashion. Uh...and our
success and our children's success...uh...is
tied up...uh...together, and so...i think most
Americans feel that way.

But, what is still true is, is that...uh...there's
still a, kind of, reptilian side of our brain, right?
...i...err...ah...uh...that...that...part of our brain,
that if somebody looks different or sounds different,
that...there's a part of us that is cautious...and...
what we have to do is fight against that - and
that's part of what Shirley (?) was trying to say
in the speech, if you actually read the whole speech,
she was acknowledging, 'I have my own biases based
on my experiences but if i am able to look inward
and reflect, then i can get beyond my biases'.

And that's an exercise that all of us have to
undergo day-in day-out and it's a constant
struggle and...ah...ah...you know, it's something
that...there's nobody in America who doesn't have
to, at some point, think about their own racial
attitudes, but if we do, i think there's no reason
we can't overcome."

Broken down:
Obama: "...if somebody looks different or sounds
different, there's a part of us (the reptilian side
of our brain) that is cautious...and...what we have
to do is fight against that urge to be cautious."

And that answers Whoopie's question, "Who are we?
What are we?" ?

And then, trish awards me with "the dumbest dipshit
on the internet" prize because i merely suggested that
if she was saying that Obama was referring to
neuroscience, that i think she gives him far too much
credit.

Hmm, speaking of using the lowest part of the human
brain, trish, you sure have demonstrated your ability
to do so on several occasions since i've come to HA.
You spare no time to call me disparaging names to
either...make me feel bad about myself?...to stifle my
opinions?...to bully me?...or to just reign supreme as
the most educated?
What could it be? I think all of the above, plus more.

I don't see any awards being handed out, trish.
So, calm down and just be a member like everyone else
who posts their opinions and so forth. Not everything
has to pass before your über judgmental eyes and be
scrutinized as correct or incorrect, worthy or unworthy.

And you highly consider yourself to be a hetaera? I really
fail to see it. You lack in the courtesan department due
to your self-proclaimed higher-than-thou self-esteem.
Your arrogance shines through more than any grace you
try to emit. Substitute prostitute for hetaera and that
shoe will fit your foot much more snugly.

I'm often ask myself, "What is trish's purpose in my threads,
picking apart my paragraphs and looking only for fault
to debate, i mean, if she has such a low opinion of me
and my opinions?" as she clearly seems to.
I see more of an intellectual "bully" who preys on people
with a lesser education for the sole purpose of appearing
highly intelligent and über sophisticated. WOW! You're so
smart, trish!
Calling me "dumbest dipshit", amongst other things you've
called me, is a prime example of your inability to communicate
intelligently and most importantly - gracefully.
Yes, indeed, a prime demonstration of a your uncontrollable
reptilian side of your brain.
Thank you so much for enlightening my ability to see
the real you.
I knew who you were before when i had to read many of
your subtle insults to my intelligence, and your constant "jives"
and "tongue-in-cheek" rudeness, but to stoop to such a low
level is quite...sobering, indeed.
Enough now.
If you do not like the topic of this or any thread, don't
engage in it if only to discredit it and people's comments,
especially mine. Otherwise, you're just trolling.
Imagine that, eh?...YOU, trish the "high-class",
"sophisticated" "hetaera", trolling.
Wow!
My goodness! Your BAD!

I try to prevent my reptilian side of the brain from
causing me to make rash, rude decisions. I try, at least.
Your self-pride is so incredibly high, and your addiction
to always being correct are not personality traits worth
cherishing.
You, trish, are constantly on a hunt to seek out the faults in
others, or is it just me?
I, actually, pity humanity because - we are not all
perfect - and there's you, trish, with your gavel - ready
to judge and even to insult anyone who errs or refuses to
agree with your opinions.
And ready to pat anybody on the back for agreeing with
many of your foolish comments, as you are, also, not
perfect, as you also make errors. Don't think we don't see
them all.
I think many are just too polite to point them out to you.
Maybe many are intimidated by your very sharp tongue.

It would be refreshing to read how someone can point out
an error you've made (and without "accusing" you of it, or
ridiculing you for it) but to just post something that you
didn't think about which proved a point (or a comment) you've
made to be incorrect, and to actually, see you say, "Oh yea,
you're right. I missed that. Thanks", and then see you chuckling
at your error (as we all err and need to laugh at that).
But you can't do that as you need to always be right, and
even at the expense of other people's feelings and their
own self worth.
Is it so important to be correct that you must hurt people's
feelings in trying to prove it?

And even though people don't rub it in your nose, you consider
their grace or politeness towards you as a sign of stupidity
or daftness.
You look at that as an indication that they must have missed
it when they proved you wrong (when actually they didn't
miss it) just because you refused to acknowledge that they
proved you wrong or how you, maybe, spoke too soon
about something.

I have often praised your high level of education, but i can't
offer any praise for your humility as i believe you have very
little for others - unless they agree with WHATEVER (even silly)
notions you offer. You must have been an only child who
always got your way.

The whole triune brain topic that YOU brought up is so
steeped in neuroscience that it's hard to NOT say it's
just that - neuroscience.
You used a neuroscientific term (triune brain) to explain
the reptilian side of the brain in Mr Obama's strange comment,
and you have even dropped names of famous neuroscientists
just to say it's NOT neuroscience. Duh!
I don't care how a metaphor which clearly stems from
neuroscience can become a word or phrase which means
exactly what it is supposed to mean but is now commonly
used in society as a mere metaphor.
It still originated from the study of neuroscience.

So i suppose i do owe Mr. Obama an apology for
underestimating his knowledge of the human mind? He has
it from me. As well as, an apology for my prematurely jumping
to any conclusions about a slip up. I do think that he was
referring to something that stemmed from the study of
neuroscience - the reptilian side of our brain, even if he
perhaps had no idea if he was doing so. YOU brought THAT
to my attention by the mere mention of the triune brain.
lol What a dope.

And, perhaps, i do owe an apology to the readers who
may have been mislead by my error in posting that Obama
video. However, i am a little confused as to why the reptilian
side of our brain was even mentioned when responding to
Whoopie's questions about racism and who and what we
are (as a race of humans, if she referred to humanity as a
whole, or perhaps just Negroes when she said, "we").
Obama, the great orator, seemed to use the reptilian
brain metaphor only to explain how people should refrain
from racism...
"...struggling from being cautious about people who look
or sound different"...
but he didn't address the "who and what are we?" part
of Whoopie's questions. Unless Whoopie, as well as, the
audience and the millions of TV viewers in the USA weren't
very sure of their American nationality, and she and the
whole audience were satisfied to hear him confirm, "We are
Americans."... and so forth and so on.
And Mr Obama's response caused many people's eyebrows
to raise in unison, especially in this day of a soon-coming
alien disclosure, when he commented about the "reptilian"
side of our brain.
He didn't say that WE HAVE a reptilian side, he said,
"...there's still, kind of, a reptilian side of our brain...".
He only "hinted" at it, when it is, in fact, unmistakably there.
That's where, i think, people (me included) became suspicious.
If it's there, say it's there if he knows about the triune brain.

I think i would prefer listening to him with his trusty
teleprompters telling him what to think and say than to
listen to him "winging" it. At least he might make more sense
if what is being said was written by him (or by some "higher
power") well in advance, and was well thought out.
He is, after all, the only president in USA history to use
these karaoke teleprompters like a puppet being controlled
by "invisible" strings.

I possess enough humility to openly admit i was wrong or
that i was ignorant of something that i've never heard
of before.
That does not make me stupid, nor deserving to be called
"the dumbest dipshit on the internet".

Even the mere mention of the triune brain and then further
dividing it up into its three separate components, basel ganglia,
neocortex and reptilian is discussing neuroanatomy - not as
you wrote - human anatomy.

I feel as though you, trish, are, sort of, "competing" with me,
somehow when i am not even competing. You devote a heck
of a lot of time trying to make me look stupid, inadequate
and most importantly, as though i am not very educated.
I am not all that educated, i make no secret of that fact.
However to call me names like the dumbest dipshit on the
internet is very low-level behavior.
If you don't like what i post, i should not have to endure
your abusiveness, and just because i post my opinion should
not make me subject to, or even a "target" for that type
of harsh insult.

I was listening to David Icke lecture on the topic of the
reptilian brain earlier today, and he described you to a tee.
Move the timer to 12:50 and listen to what he says about
reptilian behavior in the human mind. It's how i am beginning
to view you based on your behavior towards me.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2blbcrRxC1E
And it continues into the next (part 4) video
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yXWSsTwsUGU.

Now, trish, i, actually, like when you step in and say this or
that thing i said is incorrect because it causes me to research
what you've pointed out, and i learn new things - i don't get
all snappy about it. I encourage that.
But lately, i find you really sarcastic, rather hateful and now,
quite directly insulting.
I don't even tolerate that on a working job where i am paid
money to be there to do work.
I've walked out of professional kitchens more than once because
the chefs were like those rude, overbearing chefs who seem
to think that employees, actually, need to be there to endure
the chef's crappy attitude pushed under my nose. I don't need
that from any boss as i would start to hate myself, and i certainly
don't respect that from someone on a forum which is supposed
to be fun and entertaining in my spare time.
It seems this forum is your life as you are always here and
ready to shoot down opinions of certain others you don't like.
Who needs that? You?

Whoopie Goldberg: "In ah the 1967 movie,
Guess Who's Coming to Dinner, Sidney
Poitier says to his father. 'You think of
yourself as a as a Negro man and I think of
myself as a man and that's the
difference.' "
"Is that still releven’, today?" I...I ask you - what... what ARE we?
Who ARE we?"

Whoopie is asking whether African/American people today can identify as people or do the inequities to which that 1967 film refer persist and force them today to identify as black? Who are we? People or black people? The subject is racism, prejudice and identity. That is the context in which Mr. Obama responds. He says all citizens have common interests and goals but we still have to overcome our baser instincts (the reptilian side of our brain is the handy metaphor here) to see citizens with ethnicities different from our own as having opposing interests. Whoopie was talking about and Obama was talking about....they were all talking about racism,prejudice and identity, not neuroscience (and definitely not about the alien influences on human brain development which is where you wanted to take this thing).

Just curious: When you transcribed Whoopie’s question you edited out her hems and haws, but did not edit the President’s reply in the same way. Was that deliberate or accidental?

Reading back over the last few posts this morning, I realized I wanted to say just a few more things:

Had Mr. Obama said, regarding racial prejudice, that we have to overcome our hardwired instincts to distrust ethnicities other than our own, he would not have been talking about computer science but rather using a by now tired old metaphor that has its origins in a popular conception of the brain that draws on computer science. It certainly would not be evidence that reptilian aliens have been wiring our brains and the President just stupidly let it slip in front of the whole world on The View.

I hope it's really really clear from this post and posts#173, #164, #161 and #154 that I personally think that (in the posted video link) Mr. Obama was not talking about neuroscience and that I said as much in each of the posts just mentioned. Let me put that in the third person for you. From Post #154 on, Trish has been saying that Obama was NOT talking about neuroscience. Let’s review the post that got your tail-feathers all out of whack, #161 wherein I say

If you still think that I said Obama was talking about neuroscience (after I explained my position very very carefully), then you are indeed the dumbest dipshit on the internet.

You bring up a second issue: can one expect to post their opinions in these forums without having those opinions criticized or without being judged for the opinions one holds. I would think not, though ultimately it is in each case a decision left to the monitors. If you do not want to be judged for ill, I advise you to not pollute threads like the one memorializing Oświęcim-Auschwitz or the one memorializing the late Leonard Nimoy with your childish and inappropriate whining...and do try to refrain from drawing your material from anti-semitic websites (as in your painful thread entitled Six million Jews).

Meanwhile, a rational debate continues. This is from today's Independent and begins:

Searching for life beyond Earth: Scientists debate danger of messages to 'hostile' aliens

It was near Green Bank, West Virginia, in 1960 that a young radio astronomer named Frank Drake conducted the first extensive search for alien civilisations in deep space. He aimed the 85-foot dish of a radio telescope at two nearby, sun-like stars, tuning to a frequency he thought an alien civilisation might use for interstellar communication. But the stars had nothing to say.
So began SETI, the Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence, a form of astronomical inquiry that has captured the imaginations of people around the planet but has so far failed to detect a single “hello.” Pick your explanation: They’re not there; they’re too far away; they’re insular and aloof; they’re zoned out on computer games; they’re watching us in mild bemusement and wondering when we’ll grow up.

It continues here:
http://www.independent.co.uk/news/sc...-10078189.html

Thanks for the link to Joel Achenbach’s article in the Independent. The questions he raises (not for the first time) is it wise to signal our presence to the universe in the hopes of being noticed by extraterrestrial technological civilizations and does just anyone have the right to send up that signaling flare given we’re all taking the risk? What makes this an especially interesting question at this time is the fact that over 1800 exoplanets that have been discovered within the last decade and there are probably tens of thousands more that lie within those same distances yet to be discovered.

The article brings up a number of related issues.

One issue is, “Have we already revealed ourselves?” The idea is that before the age of cable and satellite TV, broadcast television and radio have already sent signals into deep space. I think probably not. The nearest exoplanet is on the order of 50 lightyears away. The broadcast signal that originated from Earth fifty years ago is spread out over a sphere a 50 light-year radius. That signal strength is now diminished by factor proportional to the area of that sphere. It would be a quite a feat to discover “I Love Lucy” in a such a weak signal masked by all the noise in the universe. To put it in reverse, I don’t believe we currently have the technology to view a TV show were it broadcast 50 years ago with 1965 broadcast technology on an exoplanet 50 lightyears away. We may have shown our hand, but I rather doubt it.

Would an exoplanetary civilization be hostile? Life as we know it is mindlessly adaptive. Survival adaptations include techniques that exploit whatever mineral and organic resources that are within reach. We have only to look at our own history to see what can happen when civilizations meet. Maybe they’ll want to trade with us, teach and learn. Maybe they’ll want to exterminate us and enslave us. Maybe they’ll want to convert us and rule benignly over us. I think all of these and various combinations of these possibilities are very real –– provided they have the ability to bridge the fifty light-year or more distance between us. Warp drives and wormholes are theoretically possible, mathematically beautiful constructs, but imo they are very likely unrealizable (as they contradict a number of rather reasonable relativistic energy conditions). Traveling at one tenth the speed of light (which is dangerously fast) it would take them over five hundred years to get here. We’ll probably fry ourselves to death under an atmosphere of greenhouse gasses before the first wave of "ambassadors" arrive. The thing that really get my goat is all the free TV those freeloading aliens are getting while I have to pay COMCAST to watch reruns of I Love Lucy.

Even though, in my judgment, the risk is small, I don’t think just anyone by themselves has the moral authority to go ahead and send Moose code to exoplanets with their green laser pointers. I suggest we delegate that authority to a government leader with high intellectual integrity and an intimate knowledge of science –– how about James Inhofe?

The risk is small that our signal is received by a civilization that can then reach us. However, if they have the technological capability to receive our signals and to travel to our planet within a single lifespan when we're 50 light years away, we should be wary. This would make them many orders of magnitude more advanced than we are. Given what we know about life, would we want to have contact with a species that much more advanced (yes they could teach us a great deal, but there's a greater chance I think they would be antagonistic)? What use have we had for other species we've been able to exploit? Shoes, clothing, food...

The rational debate continues today in The Independent (full article is here:
http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/scie...oon-Titan.html

This is what alien life might look like, but sorry, not 'Nordic types' possessed of superbrains and an enduring love of Jesus...

What "good" will come from advertising our presence to possible aliens?

What "harm" will come from ...?

I can think of some harms but not many goods

You guys are so pessimistic. Life on Earth is advertising itself all the time. The song of birds, the peacock’s plumage, the croaking of frogs, the bright wings of butterflies. Surely if we put our ad in the cosmic-craigslist, we’ll attract some hot green babes who’ll want to mate with us. Or maybe some shy, rich daddies to spend their money on us.

The problem is we have no idea what the risk is in comparison to other risks we take. Take the family out for a Sunday drive and you might get them all killed. Spend all day Sunday cooped up with them, and you might all kill each other. I will admit, risking the lives of everyone on the planet takes more balls than merely risking the lives of everyone in your immediate family; but what with all our nuclear weapons and secret biological weapons labs, someone on this planet must already have quite pair.

Should we discover and contact a technological civilization light-years beyond our system, I would like to think the rarity and wonder of each other’s existence would set the tone of our relationship. But that’s only what I would like to think. The hardwired, reptilian part of my brain, the basal ganglia, is more cautious...more suspicious. Not only instinct but reason pushes me toward caution: I’m inclined to think that both of us and them are living populations, prone to exponentially expand into all available niches, and have at our fingertips and pod-tips all the survival techniques developed by eons of evolution that allow us to exploit other life forms to fulfill our needs.

On the other hand, I would be so fucking excited should we ever make contact, I would be the first volunteer to be beamed up. But I’m not holding my breath. Certainly not bettin’ the ranch. I think there’s life all over the place out there (like the hollow little blue and green balls with an enduring love of Jesus that may inhabit Titan). But my uneducated guess is that the chances of contacting a technological civilization is the same order of magnitude as steppin’ off the curb in Swett, South Dekota and getting run over by a taxi.

It’s interesting to speculate on what a conversion would be like if each message sent traveled for fifty years before it was received. That would be a minimum of a century between each message and its reply. If the replies were composed by committees as dysfunctional as...say... the U.S. House of Congress, it may take an additional fifty years to get each message written. It would be a very slow conversation. We can’t even keep our language from mutating on us in those time scales. It might be easier to just play a long distance game of chess.

Someone must’ve thought about the strategies one might adopt to optimize the flow of such conversations. Perhaps the most effective format would be something like a cosmic Facebook. Each civilization keeps sending updates: pictures of our meals, the latest fads, fashions, music, stories, films, news, scientific advances etc. Every once in a while to spice things up we can have a flame war. But given the distances between us, they never escalate into anything physical.

...unless we reveal too much about our neurophysiology. The aliens might be able to embed a mind virus in one of their messages and convert the entire human race into mindless zombie slaves who willingly throw every single intragalactic chess match. Oh, the horror!

Cosmic Facebook would look like this. Hence proving there is no intelligent life in the Universe :)

Love the space cat. Cat pictures could have a whole new resurgence!

Actually, I was the one being pessimistic. Whereas there may be a hundred (at least 65 ) exoplanets within 50 light-years of us, there are some which are closer. Gliese 876 (only 15 light years away) is a red dwarf that is known to have a planetary system. Two super-Earths are now known to orbit Kapteyn’s Star only 12 light-years from us. The planets are known to us as Kapteyn a and b. ( http://arxiv.org/abs/1406.0818 )

A spacecraft raveling at one-tenth the speed of light (an expensive and hazardous speed), it would take 120 years to traverse the distance. Cosmic-Facebook communication would be somewhat less tedious. There would only be about half a century to wait between message and reply.

I think the nearest earth-like planet that is about the same environment as Venus is only about 20 ly away. Of course, any inhabitants would not be using Facebook, but MySpace! As we have all given up on our MySpace accounts we will never know about their existence.

Fifty years to get a "like" - I'd wait for that

Hi to all the Gentle Men and nice people,

Why are you not voting in this poll?
Are you still not convinced that aliens exist?
Are you afraid of the scorn/ridicule factor if you vote "yes"?

Yes, i am only talking to YOU there, Mr Lurker,
hiding in the shadows of the forum. It's time to come
out and talk to me, now...i'm chewing ♪bub♪ble ♪gummmmm
and my mouth tastes like ♪sweet ♪can♪dyyyy.
I, for one, do not bite nice guys, trust me - and if i
did bite, you would probably love it because i don't bite hard.

Here is another great video to help you decide.

YouTube is also a good source for a short film which shows that the Maya or ancient aliens had nothing to do with one or thirteen crystal skulls, which was, quite simply, a marketing campaign designed to make money for the people concerned...short film debunks this nonsense here-

Hi all,

Astronaut Gordon Copper talks about UFOs in 1951 and of one that landed right in front of him, on Earth.

Looks like Gordon Cooper's belief's are not Copper bottomed -there were no UFO's in any of the three incidents usually referred to -one was the Southern Hemisphere's version of the aurora borealis, another was a weather balloon, the third natural phenomena.

You can read about it here-
http://www.zipworld.com.au/~psmith/cooper.html

Hi Stavros (and everyone like Stavros who enjoys defaming AMERICAN HEROES),

http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedi...don_Cooper.jpg


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VgJh0yP6Kxw

I really can't understand why so called "intelligent" people "choose" to believe any NASA reports or hired employees when they are known to be prohibited to reveal anything to the public about the existence of UFOs and/or aliens.

From "The Hunt" section of the link you've provided, Stavros, it says the following:

"In an OMNI interview published in March 1980, Cooper was asked about the reports of astronauts seeing UFOs in space.

He replied, "It got so bad that there were deliberately falsified tapes of communications with the astronauts, where UFO material was simply edited in." "
I can't see how that is not a misquoted line or, perhaps, it was taken out of context. I say that because no where has Mr Cooper EVER verbally stated that UFOs didn't exist. Besides, why would tapes of communications in NASA's possession be edited to include any mention of UFOs if NASA has always denied to the public and still deny that UFOs exist, in the first place? Does not make any sense.

I think what Mr Cooper was maybe talking about is how people who, later, got a hold of those tapes, wanted people to believe that UFOs existed and so THEY edited-in any mention of UFOs.
From what i see in his video statements, Mr Cooper's mind was well in working order. He was very sharp-minded, and he was quite direct in his wording.

I will make it clearly noted, here, that this following part of that paragraph from your link drastically strays from the OMNI magazine interview with Mr. Cooper, to say how the author says Mr Cooper, in a private letter to him (the author) admits Mr Cooper denies the UFO sightings.
The article continues:
"Cooper explicitly denied that there had been UFO sightings on his two flights. In a 1978 letter to me, Cooper stressed "the non-occurrence of a sighting on Mercury 9. I have the original on-board tapes in my possession which also refute this."
And you Stavros, once sat there and tried to convince the forum that i posted Frank Stranges videos when i never did. Doesn't make it true just because SOMEONE says something about what someone else said or did. Trust the source. I trust Mr Cooper, and the people of the forum should trust me when i say i did or said whatever i claimed to have done. I am not a liar. I admit when i make a mistake.

However, here is an actual excerpt from that March 1980 OMNI magazine interview with Gordon Cooper. He doesn't deny anything. As a matter of fact, Mr Cooper does reiterate how honest and outspoken he has always been about the subject of his UFO encounters (i think once he retired from military service).

You, Stavros, are propagating the lies told by those lying journalists and NASA officials. I have no idea why you would do that. Do you somehow feel like it's your duty to do so? To what end?...what would you gain by doing so?...Know-it-all status?
The Military Industrial Complex is a powerful institution which wields a lot of clout. They can influence what is said in books and magazines, it seems. They have the whole world actually denying what they see with their own eyes. And the brainwashed sheeple just agree with them.
Media PROPAGANDA, my friend. It's all media propaganda, and you eat it up like Cheerios in a bowl of milk with slices of strawberries as you watch reruns off Roger Ramjet.

Here is the excerpt of the interview with Mr. Cooper.
http://www.ufoevidence.org/documents/doc526.htm
Interview with Gordon Cooper (excerpt)
OMNI Magazine, March 1980

Summary: An excerpt of an interview given by former astronaut Gordon Cooper - Mercury 9, Gemini 5 - to OMNI Magazine in 1980, where he is asked about astronaut sightings of UFOs and about his own UFO sighting when he was an Air Force pilot in Germany in the 1950s.

The following is an excerpt of an interview given by former astronaut Gordon Cooper - Mercury 9, Gemini 5 - to OMNI Magazine in 1980. While it shows that Cooper does have a belief in 'UFO's, it should - one hopes - resolve the issue of whether he did or didn't encounter any "Unidentified Flying Objects" during his space missions.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Excerpt of interview with Gordon Cooper: OMNI, March 1980, p. 106


OMNI: What about the repeated allegations that the astronauts saw many UFOs?

COOPER: It got so bad that there were deliberately falsified tapes of communications with the astronauts, where UFO material was simply edited in. To my knowledge, the only astronaut on any of the Mercury, Gemini, or Apollo missions who ever saw anything that might have been a UFO was Jim McDivitt, but he didn't get enough pictures to prove anything substantial. That's the only case, in spite of all the stories you hear.

OMNI: Didn't you go after some UFOs as an air force pilot in Germany in the 1950s?

COOPER: Yes, several days in a row we sighted groups of metallic, saucer-shaped vehicles at great altitudes over the base, and we tried to get close to them, but they were able to change direction faster than our fighters. I do believe UFOs exists and that the truly unexplained ones are from some other technologically advanced civilization. From my association with aircraft and spacecraft, I think I have a pretty good idea of what everyone on this planet has and their performance capabilities, and I'm sure some of the UFOs at least are not from anywhere on Earth.

OMNI: Aren't you concerned about the reaction of people who may read this?

COOPER: I've always been honest about my views on this subject. Because the astronauts have been so badly misquoted by irresponsible journalists, it's up to each of us to say what he believes in. I'm engaged in a lawsuit against people who used my name for a commercial venture, quoting me to the effect that I'm dedicated to forcing the government to tell the truth about UFOs. I never said that at all. If any UFO information is being suppressed, it's certainly not in the U.S. Air Force, because I was at a high enough level to know about it.

In defense of the military attitude, I can't really blame them for being negative when I consider ridiculous things that have been said and written and the fact that the military is responsible for national security. It's a little embarrassing to acknowledge they can't explain some things.

OMNI: ...Are people psychologically ready to face it if UFOs should prove to be manned by visiting aliens?

COOPER: People want to know what's going on in the world around them, and I think they're prepared for the truth, whatever it is. A lot of people don't believe anything about UFOs because of the absurd treatises that have come out on the subject. And a lot of people are afraid of the unknown. But the more we know, the greater the likelihood of treating UFOs in a friendly fashion.

From the same section of your posted link, under the paragraph called "The Hunt", it says the following:
"On a pass across the US, the astronauts were told that Cape Kennedy radar was tracking another object "two to ten thousand yards" from their spacecraft. They were asked if they had seen anything, but they replied in the negative. "And that is the last that the public knows about what was sighted during the Gemini 5 flight", intoned Sandler. The story subsequently appeared in UFO magazines and newsletters."
There was a strong ridicule factor back then (even today). If anyone said they saw a UFO, they were oestercized. Many were forced from their jobs and laughed out of their neighborhoods. It was perhaps safer to just say "negative' to the question.

I am not sure if radar detection could say exactly how high a craft was by looking at the radar screen, back then. Two to ten thousand yards in horizontal distance is one thing, but it doesn't say how "high" the "other object" (UFO craft) was above their planes. Maybe the pilots looked to the left and right of them and saw nothing, but maybe the "other craft" was ten thousand yards above them and completely hidden by clouds. Right? You believe everything you read, there, Stavros? Boy, it sure does seem apparent that you are really easy to fool - just put in print and you'll believe. You seem to lack a certain depth perception, like a few others in here.
OMNI magazine was known to be a science AND science-fiction magazine. Gordon Copper and the other astronauts who are/were AMERICAN HEROES are NOT science fiction characters.
You would rather believe the anti-UFO shills than believe actual VERBAL testimonies of those AMERICAN HEROES who say what they saw. My goodness.
If Gordon Copper was alive and was telling you what HE saw, you would throw these articles in his face like he was a liar?
You actually think i post these videos just so you or others can TRY to debunk them? Geez. I once said that if you look, you can find a video debunking practically anything.
The same way you had it ALL wrong when you accused me of not knowing what I WAS saying about the Valiant Thor topic. You tried to convince ME and the forum that you proved me wrong. You were so MISTAKENLY sure that i was a Frank Stranges believer even when i had never even mentioned the guy's name.
I mentioned Phil Schneider's account of the Valiant Thor story, and you tried to say i was referring to the Rev Frank Stranges' version. You, later, apologized for it, ohhh, but not right away, though - because you would have preferred i wasn't bright enough to have known what i had actually written. Pfft!! Egooooooooo.
You would rather your false information be known as the truth. You would rather trick people with misinformation than to let me appear as though i am "on the ball".
Re-dick-u-loss, man. "Hey, Mack, get to back of the line"
I doubt you even read the crap you post, you just post it to be seen, hoping i won't read it. You post misinformation hoping people will believe you. What's the point?
Come over to my side of the table, and look just a little bit smarter and better informed. I'll even place my nice, warm palm on your upper thigh and gently squeeze it now and then.

An old saying goes like this:
"A wise man speaks when he has something to say but a fool speaks when he just has to say something."

I really don't know why so many of the people in here have so much frikken difficulty admitting they were wrong or were mistaken or maybe that they've read something wrong and then spoke too soon.
I can easily admit when i was wrong or mistaken, and i laugh at it because it fun to be wrong - it's a opportunity to show humilty and self awareness. I am no ego-maniac like SOME of the self-proclaimed geniuses, in here, who are nothing more than self absobed ego-maniacs (oh and i know i you are reading this).
Geez, and i was called self important and self absorbed? Holy frikken frock! Holy muckin' fruckin' rickin' ruckin'.
HOLY rickin' ruckin' muckin' buckin' frackin' racking....well...you get the idea.

I won't even read the rest of that misinformation link that you've posted. It's fraught with LIES and is meant only to spread bull shyte about the truth.
And you try to convince people with that false shyte. Gee whizz!

There seems to be a VERY small group of about five members, in here, who seem to think that everything has to be challenged because that's how it is in the scientific community. And if you disagree with them, they call you names.
Well, THIS IS NOT a scientific community.... HELLOOOOOOOO! Knock! knock! Hellooooooo.

Be happy nerds - NOT unhappy nerds attacking me with drawn calculators.

Just pull down your trousers and put "it" into my mouth and you'll see your dick go where YOUR DICK HAS not GONE BEFORE....why am i hearing the Star Trek Theme song, in my head now?...oh yeah...now i remember. I was listening to this earlier...enjoy. He's quite excellent.

Hi to the recent and future poll voters,

First, i just want to say a great big "thank you" to all the members who've voted in the poll in this thread, so far.
It's really interesting to see who votes yes or no.

Secondly, i wonder what's taking every one else so long to vote. Does it hurt to vote? Will you need a back rub, or something after clicking the mouse? I rub backs as well as other things (wink wink).
Are you still not sure what to believe?

WHAT ABOUT ALL YOU LURKERS OUT THERE - hiding in the shadows?
Close your big, blood-shot eyes, and with all your might, imagine me holding up the official Romper Room magnifying glass and....no...wait!...wait!... no no, not yet. Keep your big, blood shot eyes OPEN so you can finish reading what i am saying here.

Okay, with the big magnifying glass in my hand, i am holding it up to the screen and looking though it...Annnd, i can see Paul, Ricky, Roger, Johnny, Franco, Chip, Jacob, Robert, Tony, Phillip, Owen, Walter, Bobby, Chris, John. Oh yes, i can see you, too, Peter and Nolan. I can see Liam and Sean in Ireland, you naughty lads, stop playing with yourselves. I can see Lucas, Jack, Luke, Jayce and James. I can see GrumpySteven you big bully, shame on you. I can see Richard in England. And Gabriel, Henry, Dylan, Dominic and Sebastian, Evan, Max, Joseph AND Joey. And think i see...is it?.. oh yes, it's Julian. Hi Julian.
Yes, i can really see you all with my wonderful magnifying glass. And i think you are ALL very, very naughty, little boys - touching yourselves down there like that! Tsk! Tsk! Such "bad", little boys - so cute, too!
Don't be afraid to vote in the poll and even to participate in, at least, MY threads and discussions.

Are you "afraid" of me, you scaredy cats? Don't be, i am as harmless as a pussy...(ahem) cat.
(Putting down my magic magnifying glass, now.)

I am pretty sure there are some members who feel that if they should vote in the poll in...God forbid...(gasp!)...MY THREAD (eeeek)... (oh my gosh!)...that it...hmm...for lack of a better word, i'll say..."glorifies" me, somehow...or "validates" me, somehow. That's just really silly thinking on your part, folks. Kind of, childish, too.

Voting in a poll about UFOs and aliens does not mean i am sexier than any of you just because you took the time to vote. Or how you all actually paid a little attention to "dumb dipshit", "self important", "childish" little me.
Geez, just look at my new avatar and signature pics. So sexy, huh?!

You've got NOTHING to lose and EVERYTHING to gain. So, come onnn, gentlemen. I DARE YOU to step out and be friendly!!

So Babe, what you are basically saying is that you want everyone to agree with you, believe everything you post, ignore all the other contradictory evidence and just blindly follow you.

Strange, considering you label everyone who challenges you of being closed minded and behaving like a sheep. baa

"You would rather your false information be known as the truth" - Dahlia Babe Ailhad

Applies equally to most of your own posts...

Hi everyone,

I saw this tonight. And i thought to share it so everyone can say,
"WOW, BABE! What a find! WOW!! You're so wonderful!"

To which i would humbly say to the masses of adoring fans,

"Yes, yes, i know. I know, Thank you...and to think i was turned into the "dumbest dipshit on the internet". Okay, first, i want to thank God, that almighty alien in the BIGGEST spaceship around. And, i want to thank my mom and dad for beating me so hard over the head and fracturing my skull when i was only a 3 month old infant. And i REALLY want to thank the doctors and nurses in the Children's Hospital intensive care unit where i was for two weeks, they really helped me. And i want to thank the academy, and of course, and all of my peers for making it all possible and ...."

And, then, after i would finish my speech, i would walk away with my hand up in the air the like the Queen of England does and i would rotate my wrist from left to right and right to left...you know the way like she does it (i always wanted to do that) and of course i'd be smiling, you know....
Anyway, enough of that! One day, i'll get to do that.

This first clip is an interesting video i found, i think.
It's worth a view. I like the angel/alien type of creatures and the reference to a...well, i really don't want to spoil it for anybody.

Then, the second clip is of a really cool and, kind of, "scary" Katy Perry music video in how it's, sort of, preparing the children of today for what's soon to come to be every day life in the future.
Of course all the old-fogies will scoff and complain like they've been doing because they lack vision (their noses are stuck in books written by the establishment and then raised in the air because they know it all lol), JUST TEASING, sorta! <--- secret message.

Anyhooooo. Have a look. I think it's interesting.

The worst, most self-absorbed, attention seeking behavior in history. I'm sorry you were harmed as a child Dahlia. It's inexcusable that anyone could harm a child and I hope you find peace and prosper despite the terrible things that were done to you.

I have no idea why you tie that in with the few negative things people have said to you in exasperation...for they are dealing with a person who can't take criticism, who repeats minor insults as though they were life-changing events, and who pretends to be the victim even while offending others; for the love of all things sacred, other people have been insulted on this forum without mentioning it in every post, in their signature, on their profile, in graphics...

As for your thread, the best discussion has not involved your youtube videos but rather the scientific basis for believing there might be life on other planets. Please more of that, and maybe some commentary on how you would vote if the poll were not so poorly done so we can keep an unofficial tally.

Babe, it's not gone unoticed that whenever you come across a point that you can't simply answer with an internet link or youtube clip and actually have to think for yourself, you ignore it and either post a musical interlude or story about your childhood to distract and deflect attention.

If you were abused as a child then that is terrible and unforgivable and you have my sympathies but it doesn't excuse your behaviour on here.

I'm going to say this with the best of intentions but I know you'll take it as an insult anyway. You really need to seek professional help to work through the issues you have with your parents, your childhood and how you interact with people. Internet forums like this are not going to help you. It's clear that you don't much like the world you live in at the moment but creating an "alternate reality" in your head based on internet rumours, conspiracy theories and youtube clips, then trying to persuade everyone that it's real isn't helping yourself in the long term.

My genuine concern for you is that like a child finding out that Santa Claus doesn't exist, when you finally do discover the truth, you will be devastated. Unlike children, I'm not sure you would recover.

"The truth may be out there, but the lies are inside your head" - Sir Terry Pratchett

I'm offering the chance to the OP to improve the poll - as I have superpowers (hey that's out of this world :D ) I could edit it to add additional question(s) allowing non-loaded responses.

This might attract a better take-up...

I wont diagnose another’s mental condition from a distance, but you need to take stock of your feelings and thoughts. Talk to friends – talking is good

You really need to seek professional help to work through the issues you have with your parents, your childhood and how you interact with people. Internet forums like this are not going to help you. It's clear that you don't much like the world you live in at the moment but creating an "alternate reality" in your head based on internet rumours, conspiracy theories and youtube clips, then trying to persuade everyone that it's real isn't helping yourself in the long term.

My genuine concern for you is that like a child finding out that Santa Claus doesn't exist, when you finally do discover the truth, you will be devastated. Unlike children, I'm not sure you would recover.
