They're everywhere! Cardero's excellent evidence ...

Hey - I just remembered!

Patrick, have you waded through all the recently de-classified evidence that the British released to the public last year?

note: UFO files from The National Archives

Just a hunch, but it seems that "paranormal" pretty much means "para-science," which indicates that the scope of review is scientifically untestable to begin with.

Hence, my creative and completely original use of quotations when using it. ;)

Thing is, it isn't scientifically untestable. It's just scientifically unpopular.

To be honest, I have just only reacquainted myself with the phenomenon from a 4 year absence. I wasn’t even aware of the Larry King Interview on Steve Romanek until you posted it. It would be interesting to see where that goes. I will also check out the link to the UFO National Archives.

Which is why such things are so frustrating for those who have the experiences, or want to study such phenomena.

Things such as alien implants and abductions are certainly scientifically verifiable and testable. But without people in the scientific community taking it seriously, or the right people in the community taking it seriously, it won't be positively peer-reviewed or validated.

So what's a curious person to do?

There's evidence out there; Cardero's links prove that. It's on Youtube? I'm sure the moon landing is as well. Video and photographic evidence can be faked easily, sure, but so can peer-reviewed articles in AAAS' Science journal.

Simply dismissing "paranormal" phenomena as garbage is fine if that's all that a person can see it as, but there are legitimate reasons for looking into the evidence presented, and it certainly isn't garbage to everyone.

I understand. Given my own personal experiences (and I've had multiple ghost sightings/experiences and a single UFO sighting in my repetoire), it would groovy to see someone verify what I've seen. :)

The problem is that so much of what has been presented isn't falsifiable. I can tell my story over and over again 'til I'm blue in the face, and then other people can tell their similar stories over and over again, and more people can tell their stories.......but rarely will science be able to refute ANYTHING we say or theorize by their own observations and analysis of evidence.

Ah, Mystique-Heath'er you were merely observing me during an out of body sequence. :cool:

In other words, Mrs. Cardero, he doesn't want to help you understand, thus perpetuating the scientific elitism that stands like a wall over this "fringe."
This may be the birth of a new kind of religion, so the only scientific inquiry suitable would likely be from departments of psychiatry.


I do agree that we should keep an open mind in regards to this subject, however that opening should not be too large, lest out brains roll out.

That's really neat. I've only seen a couple of things out-of-the-ordinary. :)

This is true, if stories were all there were. But there are certainly other forms of evidence available, something the Carderos have been trying to get across.

And if it were only stories, the stories at least represent that something is going on for them to be repeated. This is within the realm of scientific inquiry, and evidence can be gathered to support the claims.

Yeah!!! WHOOT!!!! :punk:

I have to say, Paul, you looked rather odd as a dark-colored shiny saucer. If you were going to reveal yourself in this way, why didn't you choose an image that looked like Hugh Jackman? :flirt:

Sounds good. I looked through the British files when they first became available and didn't find anything even remotely interesting. They were formatted differently when I saw them, so I'm not sure if I gave you the correct link...

I claim that I had an out of body experience. (I did, too :D )

I claim that rebirth/reincarnation has happened innumerable times in our phenomenal existence.

I claim that doing the Green Tara puja ritual on certain auspicious days will bring great fortune and happiness.

Now........how can science possibly disprove my claims? It can't. I may have had some profound experiential moments in my life that have shaped my worldview, but how scientific are my experiences? They simply aren't, and that's OK.

Anecdotal "evidence" doesn't generally get much of a "rise" out of the scientific community, Weeping Axe.

Unfortunately, you're right. Though, it does raise the eyebrows of those on the scientific fringe. :D

The thing is, a couple of stories are odd, and will probably be dismissed as hoax or hallucination. A couple of more, and some people may start to wonder. A whole bunch more, and suddenly there's a phenomena that can either be studied or rejected as mass hallucination or a pop-culture fad. Either way, it's empirical.

And it can be studied. And it has. The point is whether one accepts the evidence or not, not whether it is scientific or part of a "lunatic fringe."

I should also add, my inclusion in this lunatic fringe should have no say on the ideas I present. :cool:

Which is fine. The only problem is the people here telling others what they should and shouldn't believe and calling certain things others do believe "garbage".
