This weekend I started experimenting with BitTorrent and of course I couldn't resist searching for the keyword "UFO". At the moment I'm downloading this documentary: UFO's: The Secret Evidence (Oct. 2005) by Nick Cook - which is also on Google Video:
http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-834605691449249469

I know Nick Cooks book on antigravity - which is doubtful but fun to read - so I'm very curious to see him "life".

Do you have any other UFO relate torrents that you would recommend?
 
It was a disappointment - none of my viewers could open the .avi format and I don't have the time to debug this :D

The Google video works fine for me.

Try going to:
http://home.hccnet.nl/h.edskes/mirror.htm

Download the K-Lite codec pack. It comes with the 'Media Player Classic'. Most useful. But, the extra codecs might fix your .AVI playback problems.

:)
 
installing too many codecs can mess up your pc and several viruses now pretend to be codecs.
Get yourself "Gspot Codec Appliance" (Just pop that into google, will tell you what codecs are required both audio and video and just install the relevant codecs (prolly xvid or divx)
 
I really wonder why Nick Cook wrote the "Zero Point" book and made this documentary. If he really was a journalist for Jane's Defence weekly then this must have been an "end of career" step.
 
Unless its all a ruse, and his employers (or someone else) are using him to their own nefarious ends... ;) :?
 
Hi all,
What are people's opinions of the recent Channel 5 documentary on the UFO seen over Wales and south west England on 30th and 31st March, 1993? I get the feeling that the Fortean Times contributor (whose name I can't recall) who tried to destroy the arguments in the show was demolished, but then again I know that such interviews are edited highly selectively.
 
Padded full of footage of arch-twonk Nicky Pap shuffling papers and roaming among some comparatively photogenic stacks. It began with a lengthy and general introduction recapping the Rendlesham Forest affair, again! Ads. erupted about every six minutes. By the time it reached 1993, I had divided my attention between it, the computer and a newspaper or two.

If even five minutes of material were worth seeing, I missed them.

Was Andy Roberts in it? I think I glimpsed him. Or was it David Clarke? Not Papists enough I suppose for that show. Goes way back:

Fully down to Channel Five standards. :(
 
Yep, it was an hour (gross, about 25 minutes net) of my life I'll never get back. It was more about department blah of the MOD and Mr Pope's incredulous eyebrow flexing than anything of substance.

If you hadn't heard of Rendlesham, flying triangles, Pope etc then the programme would have given you a thumbnail sketch, but if you're already on here then TBH you haven't missed a thing.

To be fair, five want as many people as possible to watch, so it was bound to be lowest common denominator stuff (not meant in the pejorative sense.) If they took a whole load of stuff as read to appeal to the likes of most FT readers it would alienate, no pun intended, a vast swathe of potential viewers.

Sounds like it did anyway. I mean, who wants to watch that?

Ah - you did... ;)
 
I gave of my time that others didn't have to. JW and I deserve some sort of medal.

Nah, I only watched cos it was billed as having "new evidence" or such. That and being full of cold medication (if not for the latter I'd have remembered there's very little of the former in Ufology: nothing new in the world, or indeed above it.)
 
I too have a stinking cold. But I enjoyed your sig:
''They have the manner of an obsessive stamp collector, shouting at the weather-man, whilst displaying their first-day covers in a meadow on a windy day.'' - me, on someone I won't name

Whover can you mean?! :shock:

(But I could pin that tag on one or two peeps myself...! ;) )

Back on thread: Glad I don't have Channel 5. (In fact very little of the rest of TV does much for me today...)
 
I was flipping between 5 and the History chan, some other UFO prog which I watched more off but have completely forgotten. :? I was intrigued by the one on 5 that the govt couldn't explain, the much spotted BBT that flew up the country.

What is a BBT?
 
Ah - so it's a Stealth then.

Probably flying from John O'Groats to Lands End. ;)
 
The main summary of the show was David Clarke putting forward the theory that the sighting was debris from a Russian cosmonaut rocket chamber breaking up at the time of the sighting (30 march 1993). But this still didnt explain the "presence" of an unannounced "craft"" over 2 RAF bases (RAF Cosford?). And that Nick Pope thought the case was a genuine UFO since no black ops was testing new kit. So Pope was a believer and Clarke was the sceptic!!!

I've just downloaded the "Fastwalkers" movie from Bittorrent:

and in the film this interesting ufo website is mentioned. It has a lot of interesting films:

And the author debunks a lot of them in this taped "confession":

Hey there guys, I have been enjoying this interesting documentory I discovered on a site I was directed to view something else, as the page states itself, "The Sci-Fi channel's riveting 90-minute UFO documentary." It's split in two parts, I have enjoyed this over the past few days.

Aye! Thanks, I thought there is so little in new sightings going on, that it would add a little something new to amuse, while we wait on that impending big ufo sighting news story. :)

It will happen, oh yes! Someday... maybe... hmmm...
 
Thanks for posting that link.

I've now watched it all, and I have to say that it is the best UFO documentary I have ever seen.

It is well researched, and clearly and soberly presented. And although it presented some old stuff I was already familiar with, it also presented plenty of stuff I'd not heard of before.

It was also good to see video of people I've only read of before.


I've said before that my opinion on UFOs swings wildly from one extreme to the other...

Well, this video has my swingometer fairly hard on the stops on the "They are real!" side!

Especially interesting right now, when the Cardiff UFO is a subject of active discussion... see http://www.forteantimes.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=33695
 
Look what some kind soul has done:

That's right, they've uploaded the classic BBC UFO documentary Out of this World to YouTube! And it's as creepy as only one of those seventies docs can be (frightened the life out of me as a child). But quite funny in places too.

Anyone know more about the devil-figures seen in that Argentinian factory as mentioned above?
 
What strikes me is how resolutely ordinary the witnesses interviewed are, they're almost like something out of a comedy sketch.
 
There's a directness about those regular people telling their stories that made a shiver run up my spine and I thought "My god, they're telling the truth! It's TRUE!" in a way that no written report ever has.

- The woman and her sons who stared out the ufo occupants over her farm WOW :shock:

Brilliant, thanks for posting the link!
