Maybe, but it will have to wait unless there's a transcript summary of this guy, I don't have 10 minutes to watch the video this week.

You mean the video of waves on a lake?



Even the native Indians call Ogopogo a myth generated to keep their kids out of the water when the parents weren't around, they did the same for the Lake Minnewanka creature...total hogwash.

I am not sure if he has a website or anything, but he does make a good argument with his youtube videos, especially with his "Debunk This!" series.
He had made 6 episodes so far that are basically 10 minutes or less and has touched on the JFK assassination, fema camps, sodium fluoride, and some other interesting stuff. I just figured you would dig these vids since it seems you are looking for someone with an intelligent argument.

I guess catch them when you get a chance and enjoy.

I don't see "debunk this" as an intelligent argument.. that sounds like a) make a claim, b) ask a bunch of questions and pretend they are relevant and have no answers c) claim victory when not debunked.

Which is about the opposite of an intelligent argument; a claim is supposed to be based on positive evidence.

Well I'm still in Kelowna after the server move (on vacation), but I did bring my laptop so I can check in from time to time.

He better have a REAL good look. If we can't prove Ogopogo's not real then obviously, it's real!



Am I doing this right?

Default Conspiracy theorists rejoice: Prized 'moon rock' in Dutch national museum is a fake

Sorry to bump, but this article was fitting for this thread

Cue to the Conspiracy Theorists

Quote:
Conspiracy theorists rejoice: Prized 'moon rock' in Dutch national museum is a fake

The Dutch national museum said Thursday that one of its prized possessions, a rock supposedly brought back from the moon by U.S. astronauts, is just a piece of petrified wood.

The museum acquired the rock after the death of former prime minister Willem Drees in 1988. Drees received it as a private gift on Oct. 9, 1969 from then-U.S. ambassador J. William Middendorf during a visit by the three Apollo 11 astronauts, part of their "Giant Leap" goodwill tour after the first moon landing.

It was on show in 2006 and a space expert informed the museum it was unlikely NASA would have given away any moon rocks three months after Apollo returned to Earth.

Researchers from Amsterdam's Free University said they could see at a glance the rock was not from the moon.

Just a random question - has there ever been any "credible" evidence of the existence of E.T.'s?

No - that would be the biggest discovery in human history

Well, yeah, I know - I just mean is there any somewhat credible evidence that a non-X-Files fan could take seriously?

Not that I know of. Roswell, etc has all been adequately debunked. Lots of hearsay and conspiracies, but nothing you can hang your hat on.

SETI may be the most likely way to detect aliens, as I doubt they are visiting earth.

http://www.seti.org/Page.aspx?pid=1366

These sites are entertaining, but there is no tangible positive evidence:

The Scienctologists might

The closest we had to believing in life else where was that meteroite with what some thought were fossilized bacteria. However upon closer scientific inspection, it was ruled to be non-biological formations in the rocks
Another thing not quite explained would be the "Big Wow" signal. But I'm not sure that borders of evidence, more like something unexplained

Scientists are interested in planets/moons in our solar system where there is or has been water - Mars, Europa.

http://www.planetary.org/programs/pr...xplore_europa/

In a solar system full of astonishing planets and their moons, Europa stands out. Scientists believe that beneath its unique frozen and cracked surface, there may exist an enormous ocean of liquid water, perhaps twice as much as in all of Earth's oceans.


A recent article suggested comets may contain basic organic building-blocks.

http://www.nasa.gov/mission_pages/st...t_results.html

http://www.planetary.org/news/2009/0...dingBlock.html

Scientists have identified a crucial building block of life in samples captured from a comet and returned to Earth by the spacecraft Stardust. The discovery lends support to the theory that key ingredients of life arrived on the early Earth from space, through a heavy bombardment of comets and asteroids.

Soon me may be able to identify "earth-like" planets around other stars.

http://www.planetary.org/news/2009/0...sts_Close.html

The hunt for distant Earths received a tremendous boost this week with the announcement of two remarkable discoveries in a planetary system 20.5 light-years away. In an article submitted to the journal Astronomy & Astrophysics, a group of European astronomers reported the detection of a planet estimated to be only twice the mass of Earth. It is by far the smallest world yet discovered orbiting a faraway star. In the same article the authors also report that additional observations of another planet in the same system place it at heart of its star's "habitable zone," where liquid water is stable.

Looks like a giant squid to me.

I don't think it's the loch ness monster (or a giant squid) but it's kinda cool.

I thought the coordinates were going to take us to some old granny sunbathing on the roof.
