         <title>The woman abducted by aliens &#39;more times than she can count&#39; during her lifetime    </title>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>This is the story of 67-year-old Hillary Porter who claims to have been abducted by aliens all of her life.&nbsp; Ever since she was five she has been continuously abducted and returned with bruises and bloody scars.&nbsp; She has recently sought help from the British Earth and Aerial Mysteries Society (BEAMS) where she met her partner Ken, who fully supports her. &nbsp;<br><br></div><div>I believe Hillary may have a faulty perception to what has actually happened to her.&nbsp; She may have undergone a traumatic experience which has alter or damage her memory of the event and her mind is using alien abduction as a coping mechanism to deal with the trauma.&nbsp; In all instances there were no witnesses to see the abduction or abductors which makes her claims hard to believe.&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;</div>]]></description>

         <title>An interview with David Jacobs on “The Threat”</title>
         <author>navin_balasar</author>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>This article is based on an interview with David Jacobs about a secret alien abduction.&nbsp; David claims aliens have been abducting women and using their eggs to breed a superior alien/human hybrid race which will someday take over society.&nbsp; He claims they will use their superior intellect to oppress mankind and prevent independent behaviour or thought.</div><div><br>The reason David believes in this threat may be due to agenticity and emotional connections.  David believes aliens are a form of higher authority with a secret agenda of taking over society.&nbsp; Throughout the interview David seems quite stressed and upset which leads me to believe there is an emotional connection to why he believes this threat.<br><br></div>]]></description>

         <title>The Drake Equation: Estimating the odds of finding ET</title>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>N = R* • fp • ne • fl • fi • fc • L<br><br></div><div>The drake equation is an equation used to determine the number of communicating civilizations (N) in the Milky Way Galaxy.  This equation takes into account the rate of formation of stars suitable for the development of intelligent life (R), the fraction of those stars with planetary systems (fp), the number of planets per solar system with an environment suitable for life (ne), the fraction of suitable planets on which life actually appears (fl), the fraction of which intelligent life emerges (fi), the fraction of civilizations that releases signals of their existence into space (fc), and the length of time these civilizations release signals into space (L).  <br><br>Based on this equation and the values computed for our galaxy alone, the results showed that the probability of intelligent alien live is a resounding %100.  The greatest limitation of the Drake equation is a lack of firm numbers to input into the equation.  Currently there is no way to accurately determine each variable without some advancements in space technology. </div><div><br></div>]]></description>

         <title>Michael Shermer on How to Fake UFO Photographs</title>
         <author>navin_balasar</author>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>This is a video of Michael Shermer creating hoax UFO pictures (with the help of children) and testing weather ordinary people and an expert can identify if they are fake.  The pictures were created by gluing household items together and dangling them from a string over the backdrop of a town.  The pictures were taken with low resolution cameras to give it a grainy texture and to hide minor details that would give them away (attached strings).  Surprisingly, the regular public audience and the expert failed to identify the pictures and being fraudulent, even with the use of advanced computer technology. <br><br></div><div>A couple of reasons for belief include patternicity, ideology.  Patternicity is evident in the way people connected the shape of these items to flying saucers, such as something round and flat being thrown like a Frisbee resembling a flying saucer.  When Michael explained to the audience that these pictures were hoaxes, a couple of individuals became somewhat defensive and admitting to still believing in UFOs.  This is an example of Ideology because these individuals still believed even though their beliefs were proven wrong. </div>]]></description>

         <title>This is a picture of a fake crop circle created by a couple of Englishmen in 1975.  They created it using some simple planks, rope and measurements.  They then convinced the locals that something unnatural was bending their crops into elaborate shapes.</title>

         <title>Why Does the Moon Sound Hollow?</title>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>During one of the Apollo missions, as the lunar module was separated on the trip back to earth, the module crashed near a lunar seismometer.  The seismometer detected the moon vibrating for an unfathomably long time, as if it was “ringing like a bell”.  Scientists concluded that the only possible way this can happen is if the moon itself was hollow with a metal exterior.  This also explains why the many craters on the lunar surface appear to be shallow and concave.<br><br></div><div>This information is quite difficult to label as fraudulent because the evidence is very compelling.  The only limitation I can identify is the seismometer itself.  If the seismometer was faulty then the evidence must be discredited.  Further experiments should be conducted on the lunar surface to confirm if this statement is in fact accurate.  <br><br></div>]]></description>

         <title>UFOs seen near Soyuz while docking with the I.S.S</title>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>This is a video capturing a UFO passing by the Soyuz as it was preparing to dock with the International Space Station.  This chilling video shows the UFO performing a wave like motion back and forth as it passed by the Soyuz, while the voices on the intercom failed to acknowledge the UFO’s presence.  Looking closely, one can also identify many individual moving “lights” in the background.<br><br></div><div>It’s difficult to discredit an actual NASA video stream because it’s highly unlikely that it’s been altered.  The lights in the background can’t be stars because of the speed at which they zip by, and the massive “donut” shaped UFO moves sporadically and even slows down before leaving the frame.  The “donut” shaped UFO image may have been caused by lens flare on the camera if the sun was present in the shot.  The flying lights in the background may have been some type of debris passing by, but that seems highly unlikely based on the speed at which they were moving.  I believe this video to be very compelling evidence of UFO existence because the images cannot be readily explained. <br><br></div>]]></description>
