    Some things are just so easy to say.... check out the three-part YouTube videos on the sightings in Trumbull County, Ohio in 1994. IIRC, the "thing" in the sky was chased by police from 3 or 4 different jurisdictions... must have been a full moon that night!

    There was this show that talked about a theory that aliens helped to build the pyramids and etc. They said there was no way men did it themselves. That show was on History recently. I can't remember the name of the show. I don't believe that but my guy does.

    i've seen those too.

    i've also seen the shows that counter that which say that they absolutely would have been able to do it with enough time and resources.

    Holy crap, there's an alien on TV right now!!!

    Nevermind... it was just an old clip of Sam Cassell.


    giddyup, I checked your profile, suspecting you were just an imaginative kid. You're talking like this in your 50s? :confused:

    Video of the Greenbriar bunker (embedding disabled)

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b6c1zoT99-4

    It's pretty amazing.

    Even more amazing: it's decommissioned. That must mean that a newer, bigger, and better bunker must exist out there somewhere.

    Yup. There's NO WAY our government would just up and abandon something like this without having another plan. No way at all.

    I find UFO Hunters to be one of the most fascinating shows on TV. People are seeing something in the skies. I don't know what's going on, but there are too many accounts from credible people for me to simply dismiss them as "crackpots." And frankly, I'm rather amazed that some of you are so quick to do so.

    I actually don't think there is one. If you read the original story that outed it, most of the congressional leaders at the time more or less thought the thing was a joke.

    I think you can chalk this one up to an intersection 1950's grandiosity and blithely paranoid fatalism - sort of an intersection between nuclear powered airplanes or flying cars and 'duck and cover'.

    It really bothers me that the History channel puts programs like this on.

    One one hand, you have them doing great shows like Modern Marvels, Ice Road Truckers (I think this was History, might have been Discovery), not to mention any number of programs on the History of WWII and Nazi Germany -- all of which seem to be reasonably credible.

    But then there's plenty of stuff like this - pseudo-science and pseudo-archaeology.

    I remember them talking about an "Iced-Earth" -- they theory that at some point in time the Earth was completely covered in Ice. I forget the time period. I believe it was on "The Universe".

    I'm a Geology student, and I was in a Historical Geology class at the time -- I remember the Professor discussing this exact theory in class the week before, and describing it as "kind of a fun little fantasy", but also saying that there was "no real credibility to the theory". The History Channel presented this opinion as if it were completely factual.

    Of course, the History Channel is on Cable television and fighting for ratings; I understand this.

    But at the same time, it's a little irritating that this channel plays itself up as a reliable source for historical and scientific information only to turn around and put this kind of unverified information (and in some instances complete nonsense) on the television and portray it in a way that makes it seem more credible than it actually is.

    I still like to watch it every now and then, though.

    How can they have room for all those tunnels when the earth is hollow?
