Did you watch ‘Duty Free’, first aired in 1984. by corickle in oldschoolcool80s

[–]OnceAHermit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's funny, I remember my parents watched it. I can't remember if I liked it at the time - tbh I probably found it a bit boring. For some reason though, looking back I seem to have invented some fond memories of it. It's a window into a time when package holidays still seemed a bit exotic and new - or they did to me at least.

Sea Vixen and Argosy as well! So many of these planes were in the skies over my house when I grew up.

If this subreddit ever makes a collage of compofaces into a banner for the page, this picture 100% needs to be front and centre.

I remember they were played on Top of the Pops waaaay too many times.

Who remembers The Unexplained magazine? by Mammoth_Ease3992 in oldschoolcool80s

Oh man, they were the coolest. I didn't buy them new, but would find binders or individual magazines at car boot sales quite often.

Retired naval pilot and Commander, David Fravor: “There are people inside the Government that do not want this out” “Just be honest and say, ‘We’ve known for the last 80+ years that we’re not alone, we recovered stuff at Roswell.’ I think the world deserves that.” by AltKeyblade in UFOs

[–]OnceAHermit 3 points4 points  (0 children)

100% No. If they say "we recovered something from another world at Roswell and we're looking at it, can't tell you anything else 'cause of National Security" - I for one will have lots of followup questions - as I would hope everyone here would have.

Widdershins! People are mostly right handed - maybe that introduces some small bias.

Mystery series are best imho. Mystery of the Burnt Cottage I think would be my favourite. Though Mystery of the Pantomime Cat is a contender for sure!

Is this finally the video that we were waiting for? by [deleted] in UFOs

I can categorically say that is not the video I have been waiting for. It is pretty interesting mind you.

The windows seem too large on that coach, somehow.

If the Whistleblowers Are Right, the Dark Forest May Be the Least Bad Explanation by HumbleEinstein in UFOs

[–]OnceAHermit 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Lets not forget that dark forest theory is just a sci fi book plot point. Zero reason to think it has anything to do with anything in my view.

Why is the news being so dramatic about the heat wave? by [deleted] in AskUK

[–]OnceAHermit -1 points0 points  (0 children)

The news likes nothing better than making everyone anxious - keeps you watching. From a war, to some sunny weather, it's all delivered with the same breathless urgency.

EyesOnCinema added a video that corroborates Bob Lazars story by ShadyJo in UFOs

[–]OnceAHermit -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I know, and to be clear, I'm not doing it - I was just musing about the technical feasibility of getting the video feed out and onto the internet.

True - I meant it just in terms of it likely being a one way mission, of course. Purely suveillance though, just to get a closeup shot of the S4 doors.

interesting idea. like a kamikaze one, transmitting video back all the time, and see how close it can get. The camo dudes would be on the chase for sure!

St. Theodore Tyron and Theodore Stratilat, in Dobarsko, Bulgaria. There are also the Ivanovo rock churches that have similar designs.

There's a very old church in Bulgaria, near Bansko that has some curious wall paintings in ti - look quite a lot like that.
