Thanks for the tips.
Fortunately I love to proof read my writing anyway, so I rarely leave mistakes unattended. If my spelling is slightly different it is probably because
I'm Australian. =)
I have been around ATS for so long I can't remember, but was quite hesitant to join up for quite a long time. I hope I can bring positive ideas to
the forum, which I'm sure I can.
I will say right now that I have a strong science background and am not easily influenced. Observation, repetition and randomisation are key. While
many looking into these areas cannot see how it works, I think it does extremely well. All we need is a solid scientific basis behind sightings
organised in a way that is scientifically recognisable. In my honest opinion it would be extremely easy provided we had cooperation with members
throughout the world.
Hell, I have designed experiments for this kind of thing, though there weren't enough participants. I think I got 5 people. We need a few hundred
that are dedicated at the very minimum.
Experiments that conform to the rules of science.
I remember being in lectures saying that psuedoscience cannot be experimented on because you cannot prove a negative. This is different because the
result could very well turn out positive. How do you think polls are done? =)
Statistics are key..... we CAN do it with enough serious cooperation.
No offense, but MUFON, AUFORN, etc are not taken seriously because: A) they publish crackpot info (AUFORN Alien hair etc. You get the picture) which
will never be taken seriously even IF true, and B) the reports are a shambles of locations and times that are not interrelated in a scientific
manner.
I will elaborate with a specific method if people are interested but I wouldn't like to get my hopes up. I will start a new thread if people are
dedicated and serious about gathering data.
Grady was that a carbon copy post or what? LOL
