I wish that there were stations with lots of equipment capable of detecting all kinds of stimuli from multiple origins and presenting data in a single display or screen (radiation (heat, UV....), sound, light, radio,... and even different smells that are brought by the winds). If such equipment were portable (like glasses to look at the sky) it would be even better for UFO researchers.<br /><br />Alaor.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2019724693487670016.post-86467444115069253802014-08-21T13:01:03.650-07:002014-08-21T13:01:03.650-07:00I had to smile at the "coincidence" hidd...I had to smile at the "coincidence" hidden in your typo: "...this is why Fran Ridge will go down as one of UFOlogy's unsung heroes when folks look back 100 tears from now."<br /><br />For most of us who have had to deal with debunkers, it is "tears" as much as "years."Loren Colemanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10705306131201565523noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2019724693487670016.post-50026224604715102062014-08-17T06:42:23.110-07:002014-08-17T06:42:23.110-07:00Spot on Professor!

Note the comment "no coincidence at all" [an absolutist phrasing of finality]. But blinded apparently by a need to dispense with even considering the situation, the poster blots out the fact that the two signals occurred at the same time [by definition a "coincidence"] and the WOW signal seemed "pointed" in the direction of the MADAR location [another "coincidence".] <br /><br />Then note the emotional "before jumping to conclusions, make sure that you know what you're talking about." This is classic debunker "smear-the-enemy" behavior --- make it "personal". Any one still in control of their biases and capable of reading comprehension would notice that no "conclusions" were jumped to, but as almost always is characteristic of this blog, interesting information was presented for meditation and thoughtful consideration of possibilities. <br /><br />The hypothesis that this was due to an "exotic event not known to astronomers" reminds me of the UFO case which was dealt with by Colorado saying that it was some natural phenomenon never before seen by science nor since. That anyone could say things like this with a straight face and then criticize others for "opposing" hypotheses beggars the imagination, but it is a strange mental space that a debunker lives in. <br /><br />The post above contains one reasonable line --- the first one. It goes rapidly downhill from there. That first line could have been the basis for a much more collegial, objective, and fact-based discussion of something, but, as usual, the debunker doesn't care about being congenial and calmly thoughtful, and therefore wastes the time of all the rest of us. People ask me why I don't exchange discussions with certain types anymore. This is why. Even if they could bring something useful to the table, they do not.

And we do not know exactly what the MADAR device was capable of measuring. There is no direct correlation whatsoever, hence no coincidence at all. The fact that we have no way of inspecting the MADAR device for flaws is one huge problem here, not that it detected any signals on the night in question. Before jumping to conclusions, make sure that you know what you are talking about. For all we know, the WOW signal could have been from a one-time magnetar exploding or some other exotic event not known to astronomers.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
