You jogged my memory, one of my favorite dreams I've had was wandering out of a dangerous wilderness (nothing happened but the vibes were bad, bad) and into a gigantic, seemingly abandoned future/scifi city - cyclopean scale, like something off a classic 70s sci-fi cover, lots of winding multi-tiered roads and immense buildings. I was with a small group and we just wandered, and unfortunately the dream ended.

Azathoth posted:Crop circles are one of those things like the Patterson Gimlin film, I'm pretty sure it's bullshit but I definitely don't buy the "a couple guys loving around" explanation. Like, I don't even mean it's UFOs or aliens, but there's some of them that are more on the order of taking like an art collective to plan and execute it for no reason and no credit, which is likely the explanation but it's also a lot of people to never blab while drunk in a bar. Disclaimer: I have no idea if the following explains 100% of cases I remember watching an investigation magazine episode in the late 2000's and they pretty much identified a/the guy who was responsible for creating the crop circles appearing in my region of Belgium. The guy was calling himself "cereal killer" online and was a student in mathematics or something similar (definitely a geometry enthusiast) and showed how he was part of an underground online community of crop circles makers who shared their creations and were basically engaged in a competition for increasingly complex designs. He explained that once he prepared a new design all he needed was a GPS, a rope attached to a stake to use as compass, and a large plank with a rope to flatten the field. He also demonstrated that it was not super complex by creating a moderately intricate and large crop circle in a few hours in the middle of the night in front of cameras with a few friends. He viewed his work as art and was happy when they made the news and attracted visitors. I don't remember what he said about damaging the farmer property but the point was raised. It's possible the farmer was in on it and that he also enjoyed his field becoming an attraction. Can't remember properly. Here is a link to a summary of the episode https://www.dhnet.be/medias/television/2007/10/24/le-mystere-des-crop-circles-perce-45PSPOZ525D5JEBJOPYWN72SUA/ I tried to track down the archive but it's too old. Instead here's a more recent video from France where a bunch of skeptics demonstrate how to make one (with the farmer's agreeement), and how later it attracts all kinds of people including some claiming they can feel the energy of the location, that it's not human made and other woo stuff. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GlZ0DKfb-cc That same magazine also had an episode in 2011 related to the thread where they debunked one of the most famous UFO picture ; the Triangle from Petit Rechain.  This was taken during a very famous UFO wave that took place at my place when I was 9. For weeks/months hundreds of people saw black triangles and other shapes. Police officers included. The army was very involved and it led to the creation of the SOBEPS to gather the huge amount of sightings and analyze them. The magazine investigators, again, were able to track down the original creator and it turns out that after more than 15 years of his picture making the rounds in ufology circles he wanted to confess he forged it. He showed the model he used, a styrofoam board with a bunch of lights and a battery. But he also said he had nothing to do with the actual wave of sightings at the time and that it was the mass sightings that actually inspired him to take the pic (probably to become famous). So only that picture was debunked, the UFO wave was pretty real (we even had a few F-16 chasing birds and the corresponding radar readings of said bird, with the usual impossible movements). It's funny because I remember that at the moment of the wave, very serious scientist started studying the picture, and one of them, a physics professor, was explaining how the lights appeared to show a MHD propulsion system. e: I remember that during the whole wave I was watching the news everyday to hear about new testimonies and that I spent nights watching the sky hoping to see a bird too. Pretty upset I saw none during one of the biggest and most famous UFO wave as it was happening right above my head. I only remember about an extremely vivid dream where I was walking at night and a massive oval shaped UFO, carrier size, was slowly floating above my head. Everything was silent and it felt like there was an intense feeling of heaviness, like the gravity was stronger and the pressure too. That feeling increased until I felt on my knees, then suddenly the bird zapped away in an instant, no sound. That was one of the most vivid dreams I ever had, but unfortunately only a dream.

the trick to getting a good chance at a fun dream even if you're a weed addict is if you, right before you fall into a doped slumber, swallow down a few high dose melatonins and a delayed action stimulant like some time-release Vyvanse you found. ideally you'll fall asleep or pass out and then the stimulant should kick in an hour or so later and fling you into a semi-lucid pliable dream state and also the melatonin should kick in around then and really lengthen and distort time and make everything in your dream sharp and real, after that it's up to you but a heads up it's really difficult to wake up and not just wake up in another dream, and control over anything in the dream is spotty at best so don't fly too highh and don't think about certain things too much

While I'm posting about old documentaries, here's an all time favorite about a guy in '93 living with his mother in a small countryside village and who's building his own flying saucer powered by thoughts. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SHJ1HL4eMLQ It's in French but it's absolutely worth a watch if you understand it (and partly watchable with auto translation). It's really touching and the guy seems actually quite smart, just way too deep in the "alternate science" rabbit hole. Unfortunately it looks like he turned out to be a child diddler and went to jail and his saucer was removed by the village after attracting too many onlookers.

He showed the model he used, a styrofoam board with a bunch of lights and a battery. A bit pedantic but iirc he showed a recreation of the model he used to make the photo because the original was long lost. Some use that to say he's clearly lying about faking it  poisonpill posted:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4_voxN1mKJg Yeah he's nuts and a great intro to really being a UFO guy/gal/person. Some of his books are decent because they're more just surveys of UFO events and less insane galactic federation rambling.

iirc one of the weirder things about crop circles is the fact that the more "legit" ones ensure that the stems of the grass or crop are never broken, rather just gently pushed over. I believe they've usually got fucko magnetic signature stuff going on within the circles also. Not proof of anything in and of itself but perhaps a little less likely that they're manmade over a night or whatever. The Astonishing Legends series on them is pretty good.

When I was a kid, my parents would go to the UK a lot and we'd visit crop circles. I don't really have a ton to add to the discussion except you meet some awesome British hippies when you do, and it's a fun experience even if it's bullshit.

https://twitter.com/INCREDHISTORY/status/1615148425560858627?s=20 Some animal stuff, I remember Vallee mentioning this in Dimensions Regarding the "glowing circle" some of the soil was analyzed and had a poo poo ton of some sort of fungus in e: found it quote:I eventually obtained a sample of the white substance from Mr. Phillips and forwarded it to a biological laboratory in France, where it was examined under a microscope with magnifications ranging from a few diameters to the maximum enlargement possible under the oil immersion technique. The white substance was resolved into fibers (thus destroying the "explanation" of the case put forth by Philip Klass in his book UFOs Explained, where he claimed the substance was produced by the urine of sheep feeding from a circular device). The fibers were vegetal in nature and belonged to an organism of the order of the Actinomycetales, which is an intermediate organism between bacteria and fungus. (The French biologist who identified it, and who has wished not to be named in this book, determined that the organism belongs to the family of the actinomycete and the genus Nocardia.) It is often found together with a fungus of the order of the Bacidiomycepes, which may fluoresce under certain conditions. sharknado slashfic has issued a correction as of 18:49 on Jan 17, 2023 |

someone who understands this poo poo figure out if you can in practice swap out whatever substation facility for an energy teleporter or not. Is it actually possible to slap one of these bad boys on a dyson-harrop and have it phone the energy to wherever it's needed without dicking around with aiming big energy emitters and receivers?wiki posted:A Dyson–Harrop satellite is a hypothetical megastructure intended for power generation[1] using the solar wind. It is inspired by the Dyson sphere, but much harder to detect from another star system.[1] Because iirc the main drawback of this thing is that the laser would actually be a huge pain in the rear end. It's not particularly efficient, you have to make sure to aim it right, you need good quality systems that aren't going to unfocus the beam at the distance of millions of km, all kinda annoying poo poo like that Instead you could just clamp a computer, radio, and quantum energy teleporter to a length of copper that's whatever km long... as long as none of the poo poo breaks in transit. less science fiction-y you could start by just scrapping all major power transmission lines on the planet and just have teleporters accepting energy from wherever it's produced, right? Is that actually what this paper means? Because if that's the case you could build some ridiculous sounding sci fi energy collection system which imports more power than is currently used and decommission almost all planetside energy systems. And you pretty much should, except for anything that needs to be powered up in case of emergency, right? You could easily power every community, even the most remote locations on the planet, if you have a setup that lets you teleport energy -- even if you don't have some crazy space poo poo. What the hell does this mean for energy storage? Can you leave it "deposited" until you need it? -- i must be missing a detail and this is a one-shot deal where it breaks down and you can't teleport more than once, or something, there's something i'm missing here, right? You would need a quantum computer the size of a skyscraper to move significant amounts of energy, or some poo poo? Jazerus posted:so uhh and yeah, what the gently caress???
