Honest.

Did the tweet mention how UFO-interest groups that evolved from such sightings were manipulated by the Agency?

This time they're telling the truth. Octafish Dec 2014 #1

No, but you can make your own photos if you'd like. zappaman Dec 2014 #8

I prefer reading about the real thing - photographs of UFOs. Octafish Dec 2014 #14

I could take a photo like that... Archae Dec 2014 #15

That's what they said to Heflin and about everyone else brave enough to step forward. Octafish Dec 2014 #19

I saw a UFO when I was 16. Avalux Dec 2014 #34

I saw something very similar and it moved the same way. Jamastiene Dec 2014 #150

I had something like that happen years ago. A friend and I were walking into a RKP5637 Dec 2014 #158

Oh brother... zappaman Dec 2014 #22

Now there you go, making sense... Archae Dec 2014 #24

Because one looks like another doesn't make them the same, does it, zappaman? Octafish Dec 2014 #27

So say the gullible. zappaman Dec 2014 #28

LAST CHANCE TO SEND YOUR DOLLAR!! hifiguy Dec 2014 #36

LOL, I will use that graphic! nt Logical Dec 2014 #39

Gullible, like me and Jimmy Carter? Octafish Dec 2014 #40

yes, Carter saw something he could not identify zappaman Dec 2014 #44

So, why the big need to denigrate me for expressing an interest in the subject, zappaman? Octafish Dec 2014 #55

I asked you some questions. zappaman Dec 2014 #58

You wait... greytdemocrat Dec 2014 #61

He NEVER replies to questions. zappaman Dec 2014 #62

Damn you!!!! greytdemocrat Dec 2014 #68

Nice fucking try zappaman Dec 2014 #73

Which is the opposite of what you posted at #44. Octafish Dec 2014 #80

so answer the questions zappaman Dec 2014 #81

Instead of righteous indignation, try reading my response in #55. Octafish Dec 2014 #84

I can read fine, Brad. I can even read your insults, as always. zappaman Dec 2014 #86

You may, but you don't act like you can read. I've answered twice already. Octafish Dec 2014 #112

Sorry Brad but I'm not angry and you're not answering simple yes or no questions. zappaman Dec 2014 #114

So now I have to answer what you want. Octafish Dec 2014 #117

No it's called a discussion. I even answered first to show you how it's gone. zappaman Dec 2014 #122

It requires more than 'yes' or 'no' because there are things I 'don't know.' Octafish Dec 2014 #131

Thanks for the helpful red highlight! zappaman Dec 2014 #135

Just so you know Frank Zappa saw a UFO ZX86 Dec 2014 #70

yes he could not identify it. zappaman Dec 2014 #71

Your namesake betrays you. ZX86 Dec 2014 #75

I saw something once in the air and I couldn't identify it either. zappaman Dec 2014 #77

He saw a UFO. ZX86 Dec 2014 #85

Carter UFO edhopper Dec 2014 #181

Jimmy Carter interviewed by the Skeptics Guide to the Universe. longship Jan 2015 #352

Carter UFO discussed on DU in 2004... Octafish Jan 2015 #353

The interview is in 2007 and he says it wasn't an alien spacecraft. zappaman Jan 2015 #358

Numbers are hard for you, too? 2004. Octafish Jan 2015 #363

Apparently your reading comprehension needs works... tammywammy Jan 2015 #365

edhopper, zappaman, Longship, TammyWammy... Octafish Jan 2015 #367

Yes we know. zappaman Jan 2015 #369

Sigh, yes I knew it was from 2004. tammywammy Jan 2015 #374

But this ignores the undoubted fact that space aliens are not visiting Earth. longship Jan 2015 #375

So your error smearing me is the only thing worth putting into your DU Journal? Octafish Jan 2015 #377

Actually, that was an accident. tammywammy Jan 2015 #382

Well, on SGU he explicitly said that he never thought it alien. longship Jan 2015 #368

Are you Codeine, too? Octafish Dec 2014 #205

Nope, just lil' ol' me! zappaman Dec 2014 #208

Oh. That doesn't explain why you never show where I'm wrong, though. Octafish Dec 2014 #211

You talking to me or Codeine? zappaman Dec 2014 #212

I saw Biggfoot once... edhopper Dec 2014 #197

Did you, really? Octafish Dec 2014 #200

Since you dismiss edhopper Dec 2014 #202

It does say it all. Octafish Dec 2014 #206

Just the prominent ones edhopper Dec 2014 #213

Klass was a great person, as was Menzel. Octafish Dec 2014 #215

I thought you said this. edhopper Dec 2014 #229

He called James Randi a "turd" too. zappaman Dec 2014 #230

I guess that goes for others like edhopper Dec 2014 #231

No. I don't like smear artistes. Octafish Dec 2014 #233

But I didn't call him an idiot, did I? Octafish Dec 2014 #232

No, edhopper Jan 2015 #242

Here's the post. Octafish Jan 2015 #289

Do you think edhopper Jan 2015 #290

Do you think it's OK to smear someone to make a point? Octafish Jan 2015 #291

What was the smear exactly. edhopper Jan 2015 #292

He just wants you to get the his smear right. zappaman Jan 2015 #301

I just wondered how Klass edhopper Jan 2015 #316

Klass pooh poohs UFOs being alien in origin. zappaman Jan 2015 #317

No 'Conspiracy Theorist.' Stanton Friedman is a good man, a scientist. Octafish Jan 2015 #348

I meant edhopper Jan 2015 #349

Disinformation. It adds noise and drowns out the signal. Octafish Jan 2015 #350

I didn't ask you to explain edhopper Jan 2015 #351

No theory to it. That's what U-Chicago wrote about one of its graduates. Octafish Jan 2015 #354

Link? edhopper Jan 2015 #357

So does kooky conspiracy shit. zappaman Jan 2015 #359

Why the need to smear, zappaman? I wrote what the science and witnesses reported. Octafish Jan 2015 #379

Nah, truth is probably 90%. nt valerief Jan 2015 #277

This does not surprise me at all Bjorn Against Dec 2014 #2

Yeah, but.... jberryhill Dec 2014 #4

All UFO reports are not like the one you are describing. ZX86 Dec 2014 #25

There is actually a pretty simple explanation for those cases Bjorn Against Dec 2014 #29

Evidence is available if you chose to look at it. ZX86 Dec 2014 #32

Bullshit. Aliens have not are are not visiting earth. nt Logical Dec 2014 #38

The contributors to the Cometa Report disagree with you. ZX86 Dec 2014 #46

I don't give a shit who they are..... Logical Dec 2014 #47

Calling BS on that claim. ZX86 Dec 2014 #54

Easy enough..... Logical Dec 2014 #72

Massive fail. ZX86 Dec 2014 #79

You are flat out lying....... Logical Dec 2014 #91

So wrong. ZX86 Dec 2014 #98

So you can disavow religious kooks but I must believe UFO kooks? Done with you! Pathetic. nt Logical Dec 2014 #100

Once again, what evidence do you have that these guys are kooks? ZX86 Dec 2014 #106

What evidence do you have that my Harvard graduate is a kook? nt Logical Dec 2014 #111

He isn't part of the COMETA report, so therefore he is a kook! zappaman Dec 2014 #115

OK, I get it now!! nt Logical Dec 2014 #126

Basing scientific concliusions on religous belief. ZX86 Dec 2014 #123

So I did some research and found evidence that there was no General Bruno Lemoine in the Air Force Bjorn Against Jan 2015 #240

Oh FFS! ZX86 Jan 2015 #243

Yes, it is pretty embarrassing for you Bjorn Against Jan 2015 #244

Uh....no it's not. ZX86 Jan 2015 #245

I Googled a few of the names on your list Bjorn Against Jan 2015 #246

You want me to do your debunking for you? ZX86 Jan 2015 #249

Are you saying the only info you can find on these guys...debunks them??? zappaman Jan 2015 #251

If I limit my search to Uri Gellar fanboys..... ZX86 Jan 2015 #254

C'mon, embarass us! zappaman Jan 2015 #256

I've already embarrassed you twice. ZX86 Jan 2015 #264

Hah, fuckin classic. EvilAL Jan 2015 #344

No I just want you to prove the people you are citing actually exist Bjorn Against Jan 2015 #252

They exist. Trust me. ZX86 Jan 2015 #255

You are accusing me of pushing conspiracy theories? Bjorn Against Jan 2015 #257

The guy has nothing. zappaman Jan 2015 #259

Trust you? zappaman Jan 2015 #258

Except a published report ZX86 Jan 2015 #265

So what are Bruno Lemoine's credentials? Bjorn Against Jan 2015 #266

Oh I don't know. ZX86 Jan 2015 #276

When was he a general in the Air Force? Bjorn Against Jan 2015 #278

Sometime during the 20th century I believe. ZX86 Jan 2015 #280

He's not listed by the US Air Force tammywammy Jan 2015 #284

What years specifically? Bjorn Against Jan 2015 #285

Help us out please. zappaman Jan 2015 #250

I have an idea. ZX86 Jan 2015 #261

thanks for the kicks with your bullshit. zappaman Jan 2015 #262

I got your Cometa Report right here edhopper Jan 2015 #267

Please name them and their associated reports and studies. ZX86 Dec 2014 #64

Carl Sagan said, "Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence." zappaman Dec 2014 #66

Sad how easily people believe stuff. nt Logical Dec 2014 #76

you would think guys who think the BFEE controls everything would be thrilled to know the CIA zappaman Dec 2014 #78

Like I said. Analyzed data. ZX86 Dec 2014 #89

LOL! zappaman Dec 2014 #90

I'm no professor. I defer to experts who have analyzed data. ZX86 Dec 2014 #101

OK Einstein..... Logical Dec 2014 #92

I never claimed to have proof. ZX86 Dec 2014 #108

It has been studied. zappaman Dec 2014 #109

Well then name the study. ZX86 Dec 2014 #128

The FAA does not name their studies Bjorn Against Dec 2014 #134

If the study doesn't have a name. ZX86 Dec 2014 #141

So what scientific data exists to verify these accounts? Bjorn Against Dec 2014 #146

Eyewitness testimony is used all the time scientific study. ZX86 Dec 2014 #151

No, science is not based exclusively on eyewitness accounts Bjorn Against Dec 2014 #153

SETI is fine. All else is a waste. nt Logical Dec 2014 #113

UFOs are studied quite extensively Bjorn Against Dec 2014 #119

You do realize that Sagan focused much of his research on the search for extra-terrestrial life? Bjorn Against Dec 2014 #103

Carl Sagan did not analyze UFO data. ZX86 Dec 2014 #121

You apparently have not read much Sagan Bjorn Against Dec 2014 #124

What part of "analyzed data" don't you understand. ZX86 Dec 2014 #133

Please explain to me how the people on your list are more reputable than Sagan Bjorn Against Dec 2014 #139

The members of the Cometa Report collected data, ZX86 Dec 2014 #149

You clearly know nothing about Sagan Bjorn Against Dec 2014 #152

How many times do I have to repeat this. ZX86 Dec 2014 #156

Have you read The Demon Haunted World? Bjorn Against Dec 2014 #157

How many eyewitnesses did he interview? ZX86 Dec 2014 #159

I ask again, have you read the book? Bjorn Against Dec 2014 #160

No I have not but familiar with the premise. ZX86 Dec 2014 #165

The point is you are claiming the book lacks data when you don't even know what is in it Bjorn Against Dec 2014 #177

If you are claiming Sagan has done UFO research. ZX86 Dec 2014 #184

Why are your guys on the list so much more impressive? zappaman Dec 2014 #189

I already linked you to the book, read it Bjorn Against Dec 2014 #225

Good luck. zappaman Dec 2014 #226

Yeah, I am pretty convinced he does not know anything about the people on his list Bjorn Against Dec 2014 #227

Apparently just being a general or admiral is impressive enough zappaman Dec 2014 #228

Try Googling General Bruno Lemoine Bjorn Against Jan 2015 #236

I tried with 3 or 4 of them and gave up zappaman Jan 2015 #237

I found a Wikipedia page that is supposed to list all the Generals who served in the US Air Force Bjorn Against Jan 2015 #238

Sagan obviously doesn't know shit about UFOs like these guys do! zappaman Jan 2015 #239

It appears that not only Wikipedia forgot to mention him, the Air Force did as well Bjorn Against Jan 2015 #241

When my dad, an Air Force Lt. Col., was stationed at Hickam AFB in Hawaii, panader0 Jan 2015 #318

In the time you to took to write all that ZX86 Jan 2015 #247

Sagan based his belief on decades of research Bjorn Against Jan 2015 #248

How many times do I have to repeat this. ZX86 Jan 2015 #253

If you don't want to read his book then you can read his Wikipedia entry Bjorn Against Jan 2015 #260

I get the feeling someone doesn't like to read. zappaman Jan 2015 #263

From your own link... ZX86 Jan 2015 #272

The link actually says more than just that and the book says even more yet Bjorn Against Jan 2015 #273

I've already told you why. ZX86 Jan 2015 #274

You do realize the COMETA report is not a scientific report don't you? Bjorn Against Jan 2015 #279

Neither is the Colbert Report. ZX86 Jan 2015 #281

Yes, there is a lot of comic value in it I will concede that point Bjorn Against Jan 2015 #286

What's funny about it. ZX86 Jan 2015 #294

You should know, you are the one who compared it to the Colbert Report Bjorn Against Jan 2015 #296

And you completely abandoned your argument. ZX86 Jan 2015 #300

I think that pointing out there is no background info on any of your sources... Bjorn Against Jan 2015 #303

It's almost sad. zappaman Jan 2015 #305

It is a public report that has existed for years. ZX86 Jan 2015 #307

There are lots of unscientific reports on many issues Bjorn Against Jan 2015 #310

Agreed, the COMETA report is funny. zappaman Jan 2015 #287

Why? ZX86 Jan 2015 #293

Because a whole bunch of seemingly fake people with fake credentials signed it. zappaman Jan 2015 #295

Either they are fake or not. ZX86 Jan 2015 #297

Uh huh zappaman Jan 2015 #298

The report shows who they are. ZX86 Jan 2015 #306

No it doesn't. zappaman Jan 2015 #313

Who said I can't find info on them? ZX86 Jan 2015 #324

yes, we saw the names. zappaman Jan 2015 #328

More sillliness zappaman Jan 2015 #299

So you've finally accepted the fact that the report is legitimate ZX86 Jan 2015 #302

Nope. zappaman Jan 2015 #304

No. It's on you to prove they are untrustworthy. ZX86 Jan 2015 #309

Lame. Lame. Lame. ZX86 Jan 2015 #329

Yes, he is a loony. zappaman Jan 2015 #337
