UFO sightings and the Lochness monsterrrr...

Type941 · 12-18-05, 08:40 AM

Is it just me, or has lately there been almost none of that stuff? There was tons of reports and programs about it in the 90s, I remember well, but lately, I haven't heard anyone really discussing these apart from a rare discovery channel program.

I can add the crop circles to the list of 'dearly departed mysteires'.

Have the believers gone underground or the sightings still take place and it's just that the media pays no attention to them (since so many were proven to be fake). :|\ :hmm:

I think today Media switched to more profitable topics - terrorism, wars, oil etc

And if you want to read about UFO and Nessy - just buy some yellow papers

The trend has shifted to psychics, miracles, and alternative medecines. Although maybe the medias are getting somewhat smarter - That homeopathy meta study got awfully good media coverage :-D

Go see the weekly commentary at www.randi.org, you'll see that the crackpots never went away.

In norway we have a valley called Hessdalen. There were several UFO sightings here in the early 80s. And there still is. We had a professor talk about it at my university. But off course this is not aliens, its a physical phenonemon thats not described yet. Hes established a tracking station in the valley and is currently doing research on it. Pretty interesting, but supernatural... no

Thank God, talk about beating a dead horse. I was a big fan but that last season just sucked, plus they killed off The Lone Gunmen (Both the show and the characters!) Ruttinâ€™ FuX Network.

Bring back "Ripleys Believe it or Not!" tv series.

Meh. Who knows? Perhaps our alien friends gathered the information they needed. The next time we'll see them is when a dozen dropships land, and they stick pulse rifles in our face

I wanted an Alien Invasion for Christmas, but I guess I've been naughty. No aliens yet.

Failing that, I asked for a Nuclear Holocaust. No luck on that either. Damn

I think the idea has been done to death in media indeed - like remember how we had the X-files, and than blockbuster 'hits' like the Independence Day, etc. None of that is out - apparently the global warming and terrorism has taken up most attention in the movies these days, together with some really stupid shallow comedies.

Obviously the UFOs finally found Nessie, which is what they were looking for. They abducted her and went back to their far galaxy, so none of them is any longer among us
