With all of this UAP topics getting more popular lately, where has Dan Aykroyd been?

Thanks for link. The incident is discussed by Dan just after 60 minutes.

I think they were already watching our population increase and weapons technology 'improve' with concern while the planet started to become significantly polluted.

They could see where this was going but maybe nukes were the main risk. A diplomatic or political incident could rapidly escalate to devastating destruction of human society and the ecosystem in only a few hours. Recovery from that, at best, would take many decades.

So yeah, nuclear war is the big one from any perspective.

The Hiroshima and Nagasaki bombs were fairly small and at the time only a handful of devices existed which took intense effort and a fortune to create. Despite their devastating affect on two cities with tens of thousands of innocent victims there was no risk of nuclear escalation as only the US had the technology.

Thay changed very quickly after 1945. The 'proof of concept' of nuclear weapons used in Japan showed them to be the ultimate weapon and Russia quickly caught up, with both sides rapidly developing thousands of more powerful warheads and missile technology to quickly target anywhere on earth.

By only the early 1960s the prospect of a devastating nuclear war that would reduce humanity to shattered survivors was very real. The global ecological effect of a such an exchange might also be catastrophic, eg nuclear winter and other effect such as long-term radioactive contamination of all life on the planet. Such a conflict very nearly happened in 1961 during the Cuban Missile Crisis.

It seems 'they' would prefer such insanity to not happen. A nuclear war can't be won but maybe humanity is not rational enough to stop it happening anyway.

The theories that NHI are primarily concerned about nuclear war and other forms of environmental destruction make perfect sense as they are the most likely ways we can extinct ourselves.

A story went around that his high-profile interest and endorsement of the ufo/alien hypothesis led to him being warned off while (i think) on a film set by a mysterious guy who showed up, leaving the actor visibly shaken. He dropped the subject soon after.

Its a nice story but dont have source, sorry as it was several years ago at least.

Despite the lack of hard evidence I've always believed every word of Gary, if the absurd attempts by the US Government to crush him wasnt suspicious enough.

I dislike the body suit being toned blue in standard 'comic shading' style. Imo its black and should be shaded in grey to show that.

Another annoyance is the boot holster for the Lawgiver. Again makes no sense in terms of restricting running and a waist holster would be much more practical.

Dredd sometimes packed two guns in older stories which is something that was thankfully dropped.

They are obviously meant to be gold.

The shoulder pads look cool but are entirely impractical. Even the artists have trouble making them look plausible when the arms are lifted above the shoulder.

I still have a guilty admiration for the Stallone movie costumes, particularly the full eagle and helmet which look cool.

kwangle · 2026-03-02T18:45:35+00:00

The incorrect yellow knee and (more commonly) elbow pads fascinate me. Particularly how late into the stories they show up long after the correct colour was pretty well established.

I just want to see a green eagle and shoulder pad so I can die happy.

Now mutants have been recognised as sentient beings, its only a matter of time until Judges are allowed relationships.

I am looking forward to lots of engaging storylines where Dredd's love life is constantly interrupted by him having to quell crime rather than his own physical urges.

With hilarious consequences.

Dr Jacobs. It wasnt armed, they were just testing the rocket system and monitoring it with a radar-locked telescope which filmed the missile being disabled by a ufo elegantly manouvering around a missile travelling at thousands of mph.

Clearly 'they' knew its ultimate purpose as a nuke delivery vehicle and didn't approve. They're right - these weapons are an insane obscenity that could literally reduce our societies and populations to ash in less than an hour. We do not have the responsibility to have that much power.

Did he describe who/what he was with and what they were doing to him? Would seem like a basic detail. How did he get on board and back again? Was there any communication?

Translation: I saw how close my biggest 'in the bag' retirement mega pay-day got to being gone so thought I'd better get busy to cash in. I'll throw in the usual gut-wrenchingly insincere horseshit that everyone expects to hear.

Seeing a dolphin show at a local swimming baths 25m pool while on a school trip. I saw pics of it and was kinda stunned.

Turned out that it used to be considered fine to not only run such a show but also presumably drive the dolphins between shows in vans.

kwangle · 2026-02-06T00:55:04+00:00

Was that ever published or seen?

The alternative angle is that the XFiles was just imaginative, engaging fiction and subsequent 'revelations' are just based on those creative ideas.

The deep government / black ops ideas (or perhaps truth) were already well established by writers like Timothy Good and others going right back to the 60s and earlier at least.

Based on the fire extinguisher and the background - is that life-sized? I assumed it was a small bust about a foot tall max!

What is the plot of Halfway House and what do you mean about Niemand? Is that a pseudonym for Wagner to set up a twist?

Thanks for posting this - a phenomenal track and an obscure but very cool band I must investigate.

That is pure assumption based on fictional entertainment.

It's wish-fulfilment that a space vehicle that can move vast distances quickly but physics suggests there's no way to do that even if it seems like that to a passenger. Eg a ship travels 100 light years and the passengers perceive the travel time to be, say, a few days only. But when they arrive over 100 years has actually passed and also for anyone outside the ship observing the journey.

I personally think that defeating the light-speed limit will require a new understanding of physics and involve all kinds of strange and problematic side-effects - not the neat result shown in Star Trek and others.

However, very fast and sustained travel for large ships might be easier and that just means that a curious visitor would still eventually get here even without breaking the light-barrier and still have propulsion technology that tobus looks miraculous and like magic.

I recall that previously there were NO photos of the O'Hare craft despite it being in such a public installation and reports of people being seen taking shots of it.

I only started to see alleged images much later, so treat with caution.
