From British MOD buries UFO dossier for another 50 years : From an interview with Nick Pope - (Nick Pope worked for the Ministry of Defence for 21 years. From 1991 to 1994 he ran their UFO project) :

Related to this is the issue of human cloning and lab-grown human brains: Neurosurgeon Michael Egnor has argued at Mind Matters News (at Three reasons why humans won’t be cloned), on the basis of his commitment to “Thomistic dualism,” that human cloning is impossible. Presumably, the same...

These concerns relate to the debate over the true nature of consciousness. The scientists involved in this project of course believe that consciousness is generated by the brain like bile is produced by the liver. Paranormal advocates believe consciousness (especially human consciousness) exists...

I thought it would be interesting to research what the current actual radiation levels are. The measured radiation level in the Chernobyl residential housing in 2009 was 0.2 microSieverts/hour (data at Radiation levels now | The Chernobyl Gallery). This equals 1.752 milliSieverts per year. It...

My point of view on this is somewhat along the lines of Michael Tymn's recent blog entry, entitled "How the Eiffel Tower is like the spirit world". I don't think it's a matter of particular physical places being closer to the spiritual world - the proximity to the spirit world is determined by...

A brief scanning of relevant information seems to indicate that Egyptologists starting with the famous Flinders Petrie haven't considered this matter to be any greatly important mystery. BBC (BBC - History - Ancient History in depth: Building the Great Pyramid): Flinders...

A few thoughts on the nature of consciousness, and the mind vs. brain debate. The following are some examples of the properties and qualities of conscious awareness, of mind. They are all completely immaterial: - intentionality - the quality of directing toward achieving an object - aboutness...

The following story bears on the nature of animal consciousness, and even more interestingly, animal possession by spirits human or otherwise. Michael Tymn has submitted a very interesting article on the well-documented case of the Elberfeld horses (the ones of "Clever Hans" fame). There is...

Mind control? I don't think so. The technology is just reading detailed electroencephalographic measurements of brain waves, or local brain oxygenation levels via FMRI. These parameters are correlates to consciousness, not causes of consciousness. Given this, it is extremely unlikely that...

I've not seen a UFO, but I am still convinced that some of these observations are somebody else's hardware. The empirical evidence is overwhelming. Also, my wife had an impressive UFO sighting. Some people have observed strange apparently structured material objects in the atmosphere that give...

Maybe. The problem with this type of UFO still shot is that these are so easy to generate digitally. You just need to come up with the shape, size and viewing aspect angle and blur the object over to match other edges in the original image. Voila - a convincing looking UFO. These types of images...

Aircraft encounters have been going on for a long time. Some of the most interesting ones involve electromagnetic effects. For an exhaustive analysis of these see "Fifty-Six Aircraft Pilot Sightings Involving E-M Effects" – Haines, at Fifty-Six Aircraft Pilot Sightings Involving E-M Effects -...
