It is quite fascinating to have an organization pay for your input and then ignore it, but it does happen. <br /><br />While willing to help MUFON as a scientific advisor, I would be loathe to have my name linked to a symposium that featured some of the things described here by Mr. Sheaffer. Ideally, all the consultants know how their names are being used and are comfortable with the situation. <br /><br />Maybe these symposia do not reflect the fundamental principles of the MUFON organization so much as the reality of the topics and speakers able to draw crowds.<br /><br />It does make one wonder.Tyler Kokjohnnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8104600450225406597.post-53106022158177435572011-08-03T04:17:44.524-07:002011-08-03T04:17:44.524-07:00As I wrote on the Magonia site, MUFON does have an...As I wrote on the Magonia site, MUFON does have an impressive list of their "Advisory Board of Consultants", in every field of science, which they publish with their conference proceedings. We may wonder if any of these people ever do any consulting, or whether this list is given purely to inflate the status of MUFON as a scientific institution.cdahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01005702597775594084noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8104600450225406597.post-73631967799680467822011-08-02T17:59:44.312-07:002011-08-02T17:59:44.312-07:00That was one heck of a symposium.

To think I wasted my time at the International Alzheimer's Disease Congress a couple weeks ago.<br /><br />Barbara Lamb may not only be the "Last Woman Standing" amongst the abductologists, based on your information she also represents perhaps the last best hope for the field. For she reports she has direct access to hybrids. That, my friend, represents the Holy Grail of abduction science - the hard proof of the alien hybrid hypothesis. The Nobel prize, accolades from the National Academies, riches beyond imagination and a place in the pantheon of scientific greats of all time are assured - provided she produces an entity for study or secures samples for genetic analyses. A swab from the inside of one of those angular cheeks will do just fine. Based on her statements that would seem to be no problem at all.<br /><br />To reveal all this suggests she has the confirmatory data in hand. Otherwise she risks having someone else swoop in and publish one of the most remarkable scientific discoveries of all time before she does. Inconceivable that anyone would be so foolish. <br /><br />So, where are they?Tyler Kokjohnnoreply@blogger.com
