«Star Wars» over Australia?

Summary: One of the most spectacular video footages of a UFO encounter was taken by cameras on board the Discovery space shuttle on 15 September, 1991. The video sequence was picked up live by a number of amateurs who were directly monitoring the transmissions. The material has been shown in news broadcasts and circulated amongst UFO researchers worldwide.
Description of Events

On September 15, 1991, between 20:30 and 20:45 Greenwich Mean Time, the TV camera located at the back of Space Shuttle Discovery’s cargo bay was trained on the Earth’s horizon while the astronauts were occupied with other tasks. A glowing object suddenly appeared just below the horizon and «slowly» moved from right to left and slightly upward in the picture. Several other glowing objects had been visible before this, and had been moving in various directions. Then a flash of light occurred at what seemed to be the lower left of the screen; and the main object, along with the others, changed direction and accelerated away sharply, as if in response to the flash. Shortly thereafter a streak of light moved through the region vacated by the main object, and then another streak moved through the right of the screen, where two of the other objects had been. Roughly 65 seconds after the main flash, the TV camera rotated down, showing a fuzzy picture of the side of the cargo bay. It then refocused, turned toward the front of the cargo bay, and stopped broadcasting. Read more »

Are There Too Many Landings?

Summary: One of the cornerstones of both the Paranormal Hypothesis (PNH) and the Control System Hypothesis (CSH) is the contention by Vallee in several references that «there are too many landings».
Introduction
One of the cornerstones of both the Paranormal Hypothesis (PNH) and the Control System Hypothesis (CSH) is the contention by Vallee in several references that «there are too many landings».

Vallee implies that given the number of cataloged landings, and reductions in the number of reports at various times of day and the distribution of landings away from populated areas, one is justified in making certain mathematical assumptions which lead to the conclusion that UFOs cannot be accounted for as physical vehicles requiring logistical support.

Chaos Theory and Butterfly Effect

Chaos theory is the study of nonlinear dynamics, in which seemingly random events are actually predictable from simple deterministic equations.

In other words, the deterministic nature of these systems does not make them predictable.

This behavior is known as deterministic chaos, or simply chaos. Read more »

About Gary McKinnon, the UFO hacker.

Gary McKinnon is accused of hacking into 97 United States military and NASA computers over a 13-month period between February 2001 and March 2002, at his girlfriend’s aunt’s house in London, using the name ‘Solo’.

In August 2008, Gary McKinnon was diagnosed by three of the world’s leading experts (Professor Simon Baron-Cohen, Professor Jeremy Turk and Professor Thomas Bernie) as suffering from an autism spectrum disorder compounded with clinical depression.
McKinnon’s mother, Janis Sharp, claimed that he was suicidal and that he would not survive a U.S. prison incarceration. She has received support from psychiatrist Professor Jeremy Turk of St George’s Hospital, London, who said that suicide was now an “almost certain inevitability” Read more »

Ancient Books, Stones and Horror Fiction.

If you want to believe in nonsense, you can choose between thousands of different pseudo-scientific and mystic stupidities Nonsense: The Bible and other old books and carved stones, tell us when and how the world will end. Those who believe this, have a big problem. Humans knew more things in the past than now. If this is so, why they didn’t have vaccines? Read more »

The Cover-Up Mythology

What I call the «cover-up Paradox» is a contribution to rational Ufology. First, let us consider the different kinds of possible Cover-ups.

1) The first model of cover-up is just the denial that those UFOs that resist any conventional explanation, are the evidence of some kind of advanced, non-human technology. The gov. doesn’t want to recognize that the UFO Phenomenon cannot be stopped. The gov. would be forced to recognize his own VULNERABILITY. Read more »

TOMAS SCOLARICI VS EXO-ALF WEBRE

Fat chance. Last time he turned up here at STA with his ludicrous proclamations, I asked him politely for some very basic answers and clarifications. He twisted and turned, without ever once addressing the questions. So, I kept repeating them and refused to follow his diversionary tactics. He became so frustrated that someone dared to question him that he finally went ad hominem and stormed out out of the forum. Good riddance. His behavior was hardly what one would expect from a Yale Juris Doctor in International law. Read more »

The existence of Ideas as cultural objects.

UFO-ET. fans talk and write about the existence of Unidentified Flying Objects, Extraterrestrials and paranormal phenomena, but first we should try to find what existence is.
Existence in common usage, it is the world one is aware or conscious of through one’s senses, and that persists independently in one’s absence. Other definitions describe it as everything that ‘is’. Read more »

EXO-MYTHOLOGY as KITSCH ART.

Kitsch is a style of mass-produced art or design using cultural icons. The word is a loan word from the German word meaning «worthless.»
