That's quite incredible - a paper with a dedicated section! Interesting to see there is actually quite a few happenings recently.. Just watched the video of a UFO over the Kremlin... I don't ever remember this making mainstream world news? Why?

Spot on.. as in we, as humans, can only see 000.5% of what is regarded as luminous (?) light, or something that like that - I believe. Where is exactly is the missing 99%+? Where do aliens come from? Another dimension on this earth, possibly?

Wow, you've summarised pretty darn well what I've been reading about! At the risk of getting completely out of my depth before I truly understand the the theories about ancient civilizations/advanced beings etc, I will continue... Having read what I consider a huge amount of evidence (!), for me it is hard to believe everything I was taught to be true regarding religion, ancient culture and human history. In school, I was taught nothing of Mayan or any ancient civilizations - though we touched briefly on Egypt for a few lessons. Much of what is being taught about our past could be conjecture - so why are not educated about ancient civilization and the possibilities we have evolved (were created) from beings far more advanced than ourselves? Is this because it would impact on the teaching of religious values and religion itself? For me, believing that we are created from the splicing of chimp/alien dna is just as credible as believing in that God (whomever or whatever he/she is?) just dreamt us up for kicks or a series of maginificent and unexplainable evolutionary changes happened after a humungous bang. So why are these subjects seemingly kept out of the mainstream? Coincidence? Is there a hidden agenda? Or is it simply a lack of real evidence or relevance? Everything that I have researched personally was out of self-interest. I had to look for answers myself. I have made no conclusions as to why this is not taught or at least entertained in the mainstream more (though I concede that it is, tentatively) though these theories or ideas are more widely accessible thanks to the internet and the multitude of diverse channels that are now available to us. I totally subscribe to what you said about this way of thinking becoming a more accepted theory, especially by credible scientists in many varying fields. Many are now discovering a new way of thinking, ‘enlightenment’, if you will and what was once seemingly considered as pure ‘alien-spacebats’ is now fast becoming conceivable. One of the most interesting pieces I had stumbled upon was the work of Dr Emoto, a Japanese author. His research and his subsequent findings typified a belief of inter-connectedness. (see his water crystal videos for a good example). Likewise Greg Braden, who recalled a quite astounding experiment involving human DNA. A human would be in a place hundreds of miles away from a sample of his/her own DNA. During the experiment, the ‘subject’ would be shown a number of positive and negative images. The subject would react emotionally to the image visibly. Whilst the subject was reacting, as was his/her DNA. A positive image would see the DNA create a formation, a pattern. A negative image would see the DNA contract at the exact same time the human would recoil at the image before them. All this whilst the human and his/her DNA are separated by hundreds of miles - and with absolutely no time delay! Is this the kind of ‘new’ knowledge that we are now waking up to? There is every possibility that the ancients knew of this knowledge, likewise many of the other now increasingly popular ways of thinking, as well as the relevance of astronomy (of which I could probably go into at some other point, once I have a clear and structured theory on this!)

So true. It was an archaic way of 'keeping order' in ancient civilizations. Some could say it still is.

Well I have to say that over the past year or so (and after spending plenty of my own time quashing boredom with fanatical 'research') this is definitely something I am entertaining as a personal belief/theory... That said, I still do not possess a clear path of beliefs in my mind with which I can say for certain I believe. After watching many seminars on varying subjects, much spare time reading and speaking with other 'like-minded' loons () I can definitely say I'm forming a solid (and similar) opinion of my own. One thing is for sure though... The more I personally started to immerse myself into this theory, the more and more it seemed as if everything 'connects'. However I cannot say that I am entirely, 100% convinced yet - It's a strange conundrum. I'd watch a seminar, understand everything and then struggle to relay what I've just been 'taught'. Maybe it's just getting my mind around a new way of thinking as to what I've been conditioned to think in education/popular culture?

Just out of interest... ...and this is completely off-the-scale... I would love to know military protocol for the UK (if not, the world) should we be attacked by aliens (worst case) or contacted (best case scenario). Would any conspiracy theorists/military buffs care to hypothesis such an event? There has got to be something in place for such an occurence...

Like us studying our own wildlife, I suppose? Or whatever else we consider 'primative' on our planet? That's the only reason I can think of. Yet what do people make of 'abductees' stories? Granted, there is likely to be many people just attention-seeking... but what of the stories from abductees who most researchers consider watertight? And why abductee stories so similar?

It's always interesting when someone comes forward to relay first-hand experience or a family encounter - certainly gives the debate a fresher and more credible angle :-) It's a shame that whenever they have to though, for some reason, maybe to seek more credibility, they have to refer to witnesses/experiencers as 'sane' though ;-) Interesting point on the 'ancients' - many theories abound about this, does anyone else have any opinions on this? The Sumerians, how their 'bible' all entwine with all the religious faiths that exist today etc? Is it at all possible that they were 'aliens' or at least 'advanced beings' living amongst us? Did they help build the pyramids? Stonehenge etc?

After recently watching the excellent series Taken again and the recently-panned The Fourth Kind (which I enjoyed), I just wondered what peoples thoughts were on aliens, ufo's and abductions? Do you believe them? Have you ever seen a UFO? And if you believe, what do you think they want? 11 million abduction reports and UFO sightings since Roswell alone - could their really be that much conjecture or is there really something out there that we don't understand? I'd be very interested to hear some peoples thoughts! Of course, 'believers' may be open to ridicule, so I will begin by saying 'I believe'

BNP, followed by UKIP and Tories. Interesting 'quiz' :-o

Lol at the opening minute of Episode 4!

are you sure?

Lol, Corpy, think you'll find we pretty much sold out the Dell every time when it was 15,000. Every now and then official attendance might slip into 14,000 something but using your mathematical argument, that is still over 90% (or thereabouts etc)

Dear someone with the required knowledge, I have been developing an iPhone application idea and I am now at a stage where I intend to transfer it from my mind into reality. That said, I'm not entirely sure whom to speak with regarding developing the application. In my opinion, it is a fairly simple application and after researching online I've not seen an application that combines all the aspects of what I have encompassed - so therefore it is a very unique application amongst a seemingly endless deluge of oh-so similar products. I have so far completed the application box design and I am currently undertaking the rather arduous task of composing a product/functionality overview of the application. After I have completed the text I had intended to approach a developer with the idea to discuss the viability and development cost of the application itself. However (!) - if at all possible, I would also like to entertain the idea of finding a partner who is willing to help me develop the application as a joint venture. I'm looking for someone who would be happy to forego the development cost (or at the very least depending on the scope of the project) subsidise the development with a view to sharing any income that the application makes. I understand that this is primarily an internet football forum however if there is a fellow Saints fan with the knowledge and expertise to assist in creating this application and is, in turn, interested or enthusiastic in the project then I would prefer to explore any options further with them. Interestingly, there is scope to develop this idea beyond an iPhone application though I would also be seeking more technical 'know-how' and guidance to do so. I intend to have the product overview documentation finished within the next 2-3 weeks for anyone who is interested in assisting or becoming a partner for the application. Of course, drop me a PM if you are interested in the project or even if you are likeminded soul interested in working and developing future applications as this something that I am exploring myself at this current moment in time. Thanks Ben

What did the headline say!?

Left midfield you say?

hope its twisted, he's out for the rest of the season or comes back and Utd don't need him cos the Prem is already decided. Then we get a fit Rooney with no lasting damage for WC. Really hope its nothing more than that though.. :-o

If it is your birthday Markus... happy bloody birthday!

Didn't that horrible, disgusting club try again to appeal to global sympathy by naming only 6 subs for the Prem game vs Spurs? Ridiculous.

I think N'Diaye is a popular name in Senegal. I might be wrong though...

Concur with all of this. Hopefully, they'll die soon.

From what I could tell, it was for Cortese. Disgusting, really. We are bloody lucky to have him and Markus as well as Pards. Still, they'll always be a pondlife element associated with SFC, sadly.

I do recall, yes. We did used to be on very communicative terms. However, I do think the tone of your posts (not to mention your appalling 'attendance' arguments!) might have somewhat struck an internal flame within. Coupled with your clubs complete disregard and disrespect for anyone or anything makes quite a ****tail with which to brew the hatred you so poignantly speak of.

I really hope you lot get closed down or are impacted with the severest of punishments - I wonder if you'll still bring your condescending tone around here when you've got nothing to gloat about. That said, you haven't got anything to gloat about at the moment, anyway...

It'd be nice if they just died, to be honest. They are stinking out football.
