Latest development: Presumably in response to last week’s brouhaha about a whistleblower coming forward and plans to have congressional hearings regarding his claims, a new memo has come out. In it, a Canadian Member of Parliament recommends that the Minister of Defense develop a communication...- Tiki Tom

The Agents of F.L.A.S.K.
Is the universe a giant thinking neural network? This thread has certainly entertained whackier ideas. I, for one, wouldn’t rush to dismiss the idea out of hand… https://bigthink.com/hard-science/the-universe-may-be-a-giant-neural-network-heres-why/- Tiki Tom

The Agents of F.L.A.S.K.
Credible Nessie sighting? of course you could say that this photo shows nothing but the shadow of a cloud on the water. But, then again, the shadow seems to be kicking up a wave. Additionally, the guy who took the picture is named and seems credible enough; he’s a tourist from France, not a...- Tiki Tom

How do folks react to your hat wearing?
hot sunny day. I was wearing a Panama hat. Angry young Hawaiian guy says “who do you think you are, an archaeologist?” I‘m afraid I did not have a witty response. -

^^^^ oooops. I guess there is a paywall or something. NYMagazine nicely sums up the new claims (below) and calls them CRAZY. https://nymag.com/intelligencer/2023/06/the-ufo-whistleblower-is-back-with-more-crazy-claims.html#comments On the other hand, there are also sane folks who are...- Tiki Tom

The Nazi Gold Train
New development. The search is “on” again! In the woods near the old Nazi HQ in Poland a mysterious, heretofore unknown, railway track has been unearthed. It seems that it was intentionally buried at the end of the war. There is speculation that it may lead to an underground bunker... -

Getting close now! Who wants to post photos of ourselves, in our hats, etc, on opening day? In front of the poster in the theater, or wherever. This thread has been active for an amazing eight years. .- Tiki Tom

Drip, drip, drip. More stunning claims come to light. It just keeps getting wilder and wilder: https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-12175195/Crashed-UFO-recovered-military-distorted-space-time.html At some point, is someone going to jump out and yell “April fools”?

I mean, really folks, this story is dumbfounding. I’m not saying his allegations are true, but they have been found to be “credible and urgent” by competent legal authorities. Why is this not a front page headline on every news outlet...- Tiki Tom

You know you are getting old when:
We go to a Friday night potluck and find that, not only are we the oldest ones there, but most of the parents in attendance are the age of our children. On the other hand, since this is a community of people from somewhere else, we have become the grandparent stand ins. That part is lovely…...- Tiki Tom

Congress to hold hearing on whistleblower claims. Date to be announced in next few weeks. What to expect: probably a lot of “It’s being investigated”, “sorry, that’s classified top secret.” https://www.theguardian.com/world/2023/jun/08/ufo-house-representatives-hearing-investigation First...- Tiki Tom

DEATHS ; Notable Passings; The Thread to Pay Last Respects
R.I.P., George Winston. Passed away at age 74 after a long battle with cancer. I guess, at the time, he was classified as kinda New Age. I never thought that, however. He was probably one of the first artists to drag me away from rock’n’roll and nudge me toward what —for me— passed as...- Tiki Tom

It is important to give Equal consideration to the skeptical viewpoint. Here it is. Some good points, for sure. At the same time the article notes that “that said, there are reasons why it’s hard to outright dismiss the story” and he lays out a few of those points too. His reasons for...- Tiki Tom

Fasten your seatbelts, gentlemen. We have the name of one of the whistleblowers. Two things impress me, right off the bat. First, the lawyer for the whistleblower is a former Inspector General. Secondly, one of the authors of this article is none other than Leslie Kean. She was one of the...- Tiki Tom

What Are You Reading
LOL. Maybe by Halloween. I was dumbstruck to see that it is almost 1,500 pages long. I thought I had conquered Everest when I finished War and Peace (1,200 pages). Alas, No. On the other hand, if you go by the Amazon reviews, the book is a stunningly moving revelation and positively one of...- Tiki Tom
