2 things I noticed- 1) The idea of Ebola Reston being deadly- wasn't this from the breakout in Washington and was not deadly at all. (The dreadful film Outbreak was loosely based on this.) 2) Heckler is right and Ebola is spread through contact with body fluids. IIRC the book which talks...

Military radar effects on car electrics I saw a report on local news -look east, yesterday (22/2/06) about a military radar affecting car electrics. The usual things i.e dash goes haywire and engine stalls. Reminds me of some close encounters. Unfortunately I cannot find any reference to...

I wouldn't like to preempt JerryB or anything but family can refer to parents/ relatives i.e cousins etc as well as children...

"I didn't say 'assassination', I said our special forces could take him out. Take him out could be a number of things including kidnapping," he said. "There are a number of ways of taking out a dictator from power besides killing him. I was misinterpreted," he added. However, in the...

It does seem an unsatisfactory end - is it because we were expecting more. “He has been playing the piano to a very high quality for up to four hours at a time and staff say it is a real pleasure to hear it.” followed by When he played the piano in the hospital, he didn’t play it...

Yes, I have doubts about it too. A student visa isn't too hard but a working visa is harder to get hold of.

It does seem strange. Witnesses claim that they saw him in a bulky jacket and leaping the gates - but witness can be mistaken. The family also claimed that his visa was correct and up to date. The trouble is - and all respect to the family, the cousin wasn't actually there to see what...

I thought of your post when I read the item in the paper. Hope this new method doesn't backfire on them if you see what I mean.

True, but a rebounded shock wave would come after the initial blast causing the direction of the metal - again this is speculation. The timings could just be watches synched before hand, not that hard. On another point - the Police used Tasers (am I getting this thread confused with the...

here is a guess at why- blast goes through carriage floor and is reflected back up by ground bending metal back into carriage. Doesn't happen in sides or roof as there is more space for blast to be dissapated. Just a guess - I'm lucky enough to be not there trying to work it out. Would...

One shot doesn't guarantee a death - we've seem pics in Fortean Times of people with massive head wounds who have survived. Tasers - look at Rodney King in LA - the Police hit him with Tasers IIRC and he didn't go down. (not condoning the LA Police in that one though!) Non leathel weapons...

I suppose that could be down to "24 hour rolling news". The explosives were powerful and clean - military (from that supposition leads to Eastern Europe as that is the best place to get Military explosives on the black market) Forensic work shows that they wern't that clean - commercial No...

Or that he came from a house they were watching. Most houses in London are flats with a communal front door. If this was the case would they have watched the front door for any suspicious activity? Would seeing a man come out with a big jacket on a warm day alert them to follow that person. Then...

As I said, speculation...

Although it is a tragedy it must also be noted that the inncocent man was being watched as he had come from a house linked to the terrorists. I would be more horrified if it had just been a man spotted acting suspiciously in the streets. I would hate to have had to make a judgement like that...

During the IRA bombings they launched some mortars over the fence of Heathrow airport - they failed to go off. It was alleged (in one of the many SAS tells all books) that a special forces officer had infiltrated the IRA cell but could not stop the attempt (I think because they were after...

I'm in no particular "camp" on this one but would just like to say 1) Fire doors stop fires - not planes 2) The WTC were designed to withstand for a period of time an accidental collision of the largest jet at the time of design (can't remember what that was at the time but it was a few...

I thought that was just what the Political commentators thought would happen/ wanted to happen. Doubt it was ever a "fact" (is there such a thing in Politics?? :) )

I go through Kings Cross quite often and have never experienced anything weird :( To be honest , nothing on the underground has felt weird or ghostly. Shame really, I love the underground, all those tunnels leading off somewhere, abandoned stations (Is it Aldwych they use for video shoots...

As far as I know, the moon doesn't have an atmosphere.

Which is why I thought the terrain argument holds more water - i.e changes in the lie of the land affect the direction of shadows. The trouble with his debunking was the light source was so close that it just proved that this could happen on a set (note - just ran outside and put up two sticks...

I thought it portayed the sceptics as all scientists (except Patrick Moore who is definately mad :) ) and the conspiracy theorists as nutters living in the desert... - ( I believe the man with all the cats . :miaow: ) To be honest, the only thing I didn't like was the debunking of the...

I worked with an Australian who said that they had great fun winding up the British who emigrated there. They would say things like - "don't lie down on the grass or you'll never get up, the trap door spiders will get you" etc. He said it took about three months or so before they'd realise they...

Wow, that looks cool Escargot. I went to the salt mines in Salzburg - also very cool - especially the slides to go from level to level. Also worth mentioning the Ice caves near there.

Lucky bugger

I don't do side kick roles :) My cat may help if the moneys right

Great film apart from one scene at the end when they all see Frodo again - That scene should have been cut and burnt! (you should know the one I mean - in the cinema there was a definate laugh at that moment. Gonna be great on DVD :)

Have just heard an episode of Steptoe and Son on BBC Radio 4 where one of the jokes was they had tried to sell Christopher Columbuses log book - written by hand. The punch line was - "pity it was written in English." Immediatly made me think of this thread.

I used to think drugs can make you more creative then I saw that BBC4 prog on the National trust and some of those guys - what a bunch of fluffy logic they were spouting on about. Didn't see a real druid amongst them (not that I'd probably recognise one :()

To be honest, I wasn't convinced by the program. It made a good argument that LHO shot JFK but really did skirt the conspiracy angle by just claiming that LHO and Jack Ruby were just fanatics. Hmmm. The fact that it was extremely biased IMHO was just so they could say "Case closed now bugger...

And the difference being?

How about Washington being laid out in masonic symbols and Milton Keynes being deseigned by modern day neo witches?

Spear of Destiny and here

Any chance you can get in the roof void/ on the roof to see what kind (if any) of equipment is up there? Definately tell the landlord about it. If there is no kind of equipment up there maybe install a camera to record stuff. All depends on what kind of access you can get. Make notes of the...

Gotta admit - after reading my first FT I looked at life in a totally different way :) Love it and the only mag I subscribe to. Though I get strange looks from friends and collegues when I go of on one about how this UFO theory fits in with that one or different types of ghosts etc - they just...

His :) I know :( thats why I always check my statement. :)

They must hate me - my spendings is eratic and all over Europe...

I think thats jouno lingo to say he's in control of that area. He certainly sounds like an ideal candidate for a bit of "friendly fire" :(

Not unless somebody has secreted a bug in it :) (thinking of you're wife seriously intent on catching you down the pub :) )

That's a good card :) Still have a sainsbury's reward card - not much use in France :), also had an Electronics boutique one, never really bothered me if they can track me - they do that through my credit card in anycase. Ps Hi Emmy - havn't seen you for ages :)

No - Milton Keynes is worse than any WMD - you get trapped in the infernal roundabouts :mad: The report suggested the "ships" were being supplied by other ships coming out to meet them. Now theres an opportunity to sneak some forces on them to take the ships.

Sat picks of WMD wouldn't exactly be revealing though i.e. this is a missile it may have Sarin in its war head, these are drums which may have VX gas in it. We wouldn't believe it. I think the three ships are either 1) A rogue report which went out on the wires and is unsubstantiated...

Finally watched it and enjoyed it. As to why it was made in Spain - it was mainly a Spanish production (judging by the credits).

In the TV doc. He painted a picture of a plane crash on a runway next to water. He felt it was a UK runway and City airport fitted the bill. We'll have to wait and see what happens. It was certainly an interesting documentary - pity he didn't keep records of all the pictures he has drawn so...

This one seems to have completely fizzled out - maybe they are holding it in reserve when they need extra evidence?

They've known about it since the 20's - nobody told me! Not going diving down there then.

Please stop posting that pic :) still scares me:eek!!!!:

err this seems to be lost in the news - 3 die in France in chemical explosion and Spain have just overtaken France in the rankings of national football teams (or something - not a big football fan) edit - and this as well http://www.ananova.com/news/story/sm_765014.html

probably says "who are you looking at" :)

I thought FT won that one and the host handed the domain name back? I'm logged onto forteantimes.com at the mo not ftmag?
