There was an interesting comment made by James R. Clapper, former US Director of Intelligence, during an address at the National Press Club of Australia. https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2017/jun/07/james-clapper-says-watergate-pales-in-comparison-with-trump-and-russia-scandal

Well, I guess it didn't happen. I can see such an announcement but it won't as a lot of people would think. It will be one of the most important discoveries in human history, but it will be that microbial life or similar has been discovered. It won't be "take me to your leader" alien life.

Actually, I simply mean credible imagery. I haven't looked at anything recent; perhaps there are images that people put forward as proof that I am unaware of.

Interesting you have a website for a searchlight battalion; I hadn't seen one like that before but very well deserved. Cheers!

Many thanks. I was just wondering if his views on the Moon / Moon landings ever..... coloured.... your assessment of other things he said. As you may have gathered, I hold opposing views to Mr Lear with respect to the Apollo programme!

I would love extraterrestrial craft to be true. Seriously... meeting a race of people from another world. It would be fantastic. Problem is, despite the fact we seem to have every event on the planet recorded on mobiles (cell phones to our US friends), we still have no credible imagery of UFO or alien visitation. As Mulder had on his wall: I want to believe!

I've been there.....

It's a generational thing. Every few years there are young people who get taken in by the claims. Most ask questions, do research, and decide for themselves that the 'moon hoax' claims are rubbish. Some however get sucked into the rabbit hole. For the most part, there is no saving those people,,, though we can try.

Thanks for that, Michael.

Hi Cory, welcome to the Forum. I don't know if this is inappropriate to ask (if it is, forgive / forget) but what can you tells us about your relationship with Mr Lear (if anything)? I have read many of his claims and find them.... err.... unconventional.

Welcome, Tyler!

WTF is going on with trump and his administration? Okay, making major changes will take time but Trump is acting as far from presidental as you can get. Sure, he's different, not a mainstream politician but a bit of a radical.... however he seems to be deliberately trying to screw things up. He's alienated former allied nations, alienated US departments, even caused great concern within his own party! What's going on? He seems to be trying to destroy himself.

Seriously - this guy is not only a clown, he's a dangerous lying clown. I wonder how many people who voted for him are now thinking "Gee... I wish I hadn't of done that...".

And this is probably a contributing reason for them doing so: http://www.skeptics.com.au/2017/03/15/belle-gibson-guilty-but-delusional-and-now-for-the-next-fad/

One of the worst websites for quackery and woo - Natural News - has been dumped from the Google search engine. Yay! http://www.skeptics.com.au/2017/02/23/google-wont-list-natural-news/

Wow! Brief intro but interesting... especially the last part. Underwater treasure or sticking to the shore?

Never knew about that. Thanks!

Doug, would it be possible for you to give a brief precis of your links and perhaps your own comment? When I see a link without anything else, I don't follow it. This may be to my disadvantage but..... Many thanks.

Many thanks, Bob. Hope you enjoy the Forum.

Anything more? A bit sparse on details there, Bob....

You are forgetting that Eisenhower proposed the "Open Skies" policy, which the Soviet government of the time rejected.

Hi Micah! Welcome to the Forum. Hope you benefit from it. Cheers!

Robert - have you sorted this out? Need any further help?

Hi Toby - welcome to the Forum!
