‘Demons in the Dark’
How scientists talk about UFO sightings.
On an otherwise unremarkable January night in Stephenville, Texas, dozens of people looked to the sky and saw a vast vessel with a combination of red, white and yellow lights flying fast over the area's farms. One observer said the vessel was a mile long. Several said they saw fighter jets chasing it. One said he feared the object's appearance might mean "the end of times."
A pilot, a cop and some businessmen, housewives, and children all say they saw a UFO on Jan. 8. The spaceship moved over the area for several seconds, witnesses said, and then zoomed away 300 times faster than a Cessna jet can travel.
UFO sightings make the news several times a year. In 2007 eight such episodes attracted headlines. Most sightings take place in the South and West.
UFO spotters endure endless jokes about their experiences. But even people who debunk the very notion of UFOs take them seriously. "No one should make fun" of Stephenville's UFO spotters, says Theodore Schick of Muhlenberg College, a liberal arts school in Allentown, Pa. They "had a real experience that's out of the ordinary." But Schick and experts in physics and human psychology say the experiences have scientific explanations. Scientists now probe the most microscopic aspects of the brain and the farthest reaches of the galaxy.
Evolution provides a good starting place for explaining why people have paranormal experiences.
For all but the last 10,000 years of human history, man survived by hunting and gathering plants. To interpret a mysterious world, man projected his own fears and understandings onto his environment. In the "enchanted" view of the world, every part of nature—rocks, trees, hills, water—was alive and filled with spirit. Even in the age of science, the human brain still projects ideas and images on the world.

Comment: Hey Creptylou,
If this document has any validity, what do you think about it. Who knows, maybe it a deception point too.
Personally, reading it makes me think someone knew something for a period of time before this investigation. This could help explain Roswell (47) and the recent sighting. I think it's quite possible "they" shipped a bunch of nazi's who had stolen tesla's ideas, shipped them to Russia, north/south america to continue their work. Just a possibility. Watch curious george, the cartoon (recent one). Watch the guy swallow the flourescent yellow liquid and throw it up. Oh, these people are twisted. WHat are chemtrails (outside of weather modification applications) and how do they fit into this paradigm of control. Could the flourescent yellow cartoon piece really be analogy for one aspect - autoflourescence of distributed organisms in all of us - thus enabling 3-d imaging and manipulation. How's that for privacy violations - welcome to the sentient parallel world. Folks, work on weather mod, geophysical engineering, psychoenergetcs, and bioenergetics has benn going on for years. Just look at this Winterhaven piece, Bluebird, Artichoke, Naomi, Search - then get trippy with Project Rainbow the Philadelphia experiment. Think is goes on before that, I do -

Comment: Hey Crepty, You, and frank too, obviously have an agenda here. Wanna know about our friend persinger? check http://www.mindspring.com/~txporter/persemf.htm
It's all black, he's all blalck, and so are you. Seems all mapped out, nothing is a coincidence! It's no coincidence persinger is chosen to speak about "UFO", of all strange, crop circle like things to talk about. Let's all see how the circus plays out. Who's the circus masters, and what if the elephant gets out of control? Maybe that's part of the circus, and the show will go on. Mind Ops are real folks, maybe holographic tech, maybe antigravity, robotics that would probably make you go, "hun, boy, didn;t think it was quite this far along!" Bio and psychoenergetics that is likely farther along than most think. It's a sentient world, so it seems. Designed by whom, and for what reason?
