    Isolation: How will you pass the time?

    To tie two things in, I had the Monkey theme tune on 7" vinyl and took it to the school disco when I was about 7 or 8 or 9. Pretty sure not many people danced. Was a big fan of Star Fleet back in the day too - I may be wrong but I think it was one of those rare kids' shows where someone dies...

    Isolation: How will you pass the time?

    It's both soccer and football. What you're talking about is correctly termed 'American football'. :cool:

    Claim: There's an organised group of debunkers who are paid to discredit UFOs

    Can we get the fuller, in context quote from Taylor rather than the paraphrase with snippets from Greenstreet?

    Isolation: How will you pass the time?

    As isolation continues and now that my Tetris goal has been accomplished I've moved on to finally getting around to recording a bunch of songs I wrote around twenty years ago. Tried many times over the decades but because of my inability to program drums I always gave up. Luckily my girlfriend...

    I want to BELONG

    That's true. But maybe it's a bit like ticking the terms and conditions when installing an update - the percentage of people who actually read them is very low. We just wanna get through it as quickly as possible and on to sharing our incredibly important opinion/insight/fact. A brief automated...

    I want to BELONG

    Suggestion: when a new member joins they receive an automated message that succinctly but thoroughly explains how things work here - or maybe as they're attempting to post their first comment. Probably wouldn't hurt to send it to current members too. Maybe there is something like that on the...

    When Conspiracists Psychoanalyze

    I think if there is a difference it's that Danny said they believe in it because they want it, whereas looking forward to it is "they believe in it and they want it". That's true. I didn't mean to dismiss it and I'm sure it sometimes is the case, if not in my experience.

    When Conspiracists Psychoanalyze

    It's interesting: I hear that notion often and though I know an absolute TON of people who believe in the afterlife I don't know a single one of them who believes because that's what they want there to be. Is that idea not just one of those things that people repeat but haven't really checked?

    Claim: Original Calvine UFO Photo

    Yeah, been thinking a more focused summary of the actual info might be good - though I wonder what for? What would you think would be discussed in a new thread? Seems like it's kinda dead until anything new comes forward.

    Calvine Photo Hoax Theories

    Got one lying around (broken screen though). Tell me what settings I need to put it on and I'll give it a try.

    Currency exchange rate prediction website longrangeforecast.com

    Ooh, that is impressive - all flashing and constantly changing. Though I did notice the contact page has nowhere to put an email address. Much better than this one though: https://usdforecast.com/ Russian! :oops:

    Currency exchange rate prediction website longrangeforecast.com

    Seems hard to imagine that they employ people or were "acquired" - even today it's a very peculiar and barebones website using the same write-ups as it did nearly ten years ago, and they have almost zero web presence. Also no mention of EFA on IHS's fairly extensive history and acquisitions page...

    Calvine Photo Hoax Theories

    This is the proposed location. Though as you say, it's far from certain that's where the photo was taken. 56.7635230, -3.9855080 Regarding focus, there has been the suggestion that the whole photo is out of focus due to the way it was copied (on an enlarger which wasn't properly adjusted). Not...

    Currency exchange rate prediction website longrangeforecast.com

    That's the curious bit: why maintain it for all these years? But then, there are plenty of dead/weird sites online whose presence doesn't make much sense. A couple more charts to show how wildly their predictions fluctuate. In this one the forecasts shown in the red and purple lines were made...

    Currency exchange rate prediction website longrangeforecast.com

    I believe this counts as pseudoscience. The Economic Forecast Agency (EFA) claims to use "reliable models for long-term forecasting" of various financial markets with the implication being that these models provide "accurate forecasts": source: https://longforecast.com/ Given the...

    What are we seeing here? A drone?

    Or the simple explanation: they had already been watching it move before they started filming (which appears to be the case here). I was working on my property when I looked up and saw what I originally thought was a shooting star. Immediately I realized it was not a shooting star though...

    What are we seeing here? A drone?

    Does "some people on youtube say 'there's no way it's a drone, definitely the real deal'" count as evidence? ;) I figured drone but second opinions are good.

    Claim: Original Calvine UFO Photo

    Oh, I didn't think we were, thought it was just a quick general side chat unrelated to the thread. Seems like when we get down to it there isn't anything to be used to determine their age, other than Lindsay's words that they were "young". And anyway, even if we did know how old they were it...

    Did you press play? :p Starts moving at 0:40.

    Claim: Original Calvine UFO Photo

    Right. And I guess it don't matter anyway: even if someone finds a place where the fence posts lines up and the tree branch lines up and there's something that looks like a 32-year-old palm frond on the fence it's not like it tells us anything major - 'cept that the already dubious 'reflection...
