-
- Since you apparently have access to the echo which contained Mike
- Mansfield's report of peculiar questions in the migraine study,
- perhaps you could pass along the following:
-
- Mike, there are ways for you to follow up on the reasons for
- including those questions in the study.
-
- You should first determine who is the principal investigator on
- the study. This is something your wife can learn, simply by
- calling the people who handled her in the experiment.
-
- Then I would advise you to go to a convenient technical library
- and look up all published papers by this person. From them, you
- should be able to learn what is actually the thrust of this
- person's research. Each paper will credit the agency which
- funded the work. This could be significant. You will not find
- something as obvious as 'AFOSI' among them, but take note of
- anything with DoD connections. You are also unlikely to find any
- reference to 'ET' issues, but maybe you'll see something about
- the researcher's ideas about the belief structures of migraine
- sufferers.
-
- If you are still interested in pursuing it, armed with whatever
- you've learned, contact the researcher in question (at the
- address given in the technical papers) and grill him or her. It
- would be great if you could get a look at the research proposal
- that resulted in the funding of the experiment, but I wouldn't
- have high expectation of achieving that. At any rate, be polite
- about it, but be persistent. You can also question any coauthors
- on the technical papers, and look for inconsistencies. You'll
- learn quite a lot from the kind of response you receive.
-
- I'm sure we'd all like to hear of the results.

-
- koreth@twitterpater.Eng.Sun.COM (Steven Grimm) writes about my
- statement that Phil Klass is intimately familiar with the evidence
- about Roswell. He contends:
-
- Klass himself admitted, on the air, that he has not interviewed ANY
- of the witnesses to the alleged event. I'm not sure how you can
- make that claim with a straight face, in view of that admission.
-
- Actually, Klass stated that he had interviewed Cabot, who is the only
- one of the 3 principles still alive, and who actually visited the site
- with Marcel. He also stated that he had spoken to those who had
- contact with the hard evidence, while admitting he had not interviewed
- ALL of the witnesses.
-
- Grimm proceeds:
-
- Did something happen in Roswell? Probably. The evidence laid out
- in the book is pretty compelling about that.
-
- You should note that I haven't read the book. Klass also pointed out
- that Randle's evidence was flawed:
-
- 1) Randle omitted from the book portions of a letter that went
- against his case that something out of ordinary happened in
- Roswell.
-
- 2) Randle omitted documents that went against his case. The
- one that Klass showed on the show had been published in
- MUFON.
-
- Randle did not dispute either point 1 or 2, he acknowledged that he
- had edited the letter, and also that he was familiar with the document
- in MUFON.
-
- Grimm continues:
-
- [...] simply declaring that everything in the book is garbage
- because it has to be garbage strikes me as a pretty strange thing
- for a skeptic to do. Skeptics have no business being dogmatic.
-
- I don't know who said that or who is being dogmatic, I certainly didn't
- and neither did Klass. Perhaps this is the place to note that Klass
- pointed out to Randle that Cabot, the only surviving principle, has
- flatly stated that nothing unusual happened. Randle responded that
- Cabot was clearly part of the coverup. Again, I haven't read the book,
- but this makes Randle appear as though he is saying that if the
- evidence goes against the claim that something strange happened, it
- must be part of the coverup.

- available through Fidonet, however anyone with a serious interest in this
- subject or other paranormal-related interests are encouraged to apply for
- sysop status in the network. Our network has grown quite large and is

-
- The Abduction Conference is not related in any way to MUFON. Dr. David

- There was a debate on the alleged UFO crash in New Mexico on Larry
- King last night. One of the authors of a new book on the incident was
- there to promote it. The facts and figures were the same as we've
- seen here over and over so I won't comment on them.
-
- However, the debate itself was interesting. On the pro-UFO side there
- was the author, the public affairs oficer at a nearby Army-Air Force
- base at the time, and a woman who had witnessed pieces when she was
- young. On the skeptical side, there was an older man who has studied
- UFO sightings and concluded that none had a shred of hard evidence.
-
- Although reason and the obvious may have sided with the skeptic, IMHO
- the debate was won by the author and company in the public's view. It
- seemed that the skeptic had a general knowledge of the incident but
- not nearly enough first-hand knowledge of testimony to argue
- convincingly against the evidence presented by the author.
-
- I remain unconvinced, but I believe this tends to be typical of
- debates of this sort. Since the believers have a mission, their
- knowledge of the subject matter and their careful construction of
- facts reflects the years of effort (delusion?) put into it. The
- skeptics, realizing the obvious, do not consider a similar effort
- worthwhile. I'm not blaming, just observing.
-
- I think this contributes to the public's acceptance of the weird.

- The "evidence presented by the author" is not "hard evidence" as the

- verifiable.

-
- No offence meant here, but why make the above unfair assumptions?
-
- Do you have conclusive evidence that
- a.) The authors of the book are "believers"?
- b.) That they are under "delusion"?
-
- I'm a skeptic, but I am NOT a debunker. I have to say that after
- reading the book, the authors have definitely done their homework.
-
- The most interesting aspect of the book for me was that the authors
- consider several other explanations for an event that most definitely DID
- occur near Roswell.
-
- For example, they consider the tiresome and silly weather balloon
- explanation. They also consider the V2 nosecone explanation. Both of
- these, which have been favorites of armchair debunkers in the past,
- have serious problems.
-
- Additionally, they have carefully constructed a "time line" much of
- which is resolved to within the half-hour, of occurences before,
- during, and after the Roswell saga.
-
- >The

-
- Not at all.
-
- Do you realistically expect the self-proclaimed skeptic to be more
- convincing to the public?
-
- a.) The "public" tends to believe what they wish to believe, the
- truth not-withstanding.
-
- b.) No one has the right to consider themselves a true skeptic
- unless they know what they're talking about. No implications
- to the contrary here, just that the blanket statement that
- skeptics realize the obvious is far from the truth.
-
- I am certainly not a "believer", a word which pseudo-skeptics use
- liberally. I do tend to gather all of the information that I can
- on a subject before I consider talking about it.
-
- I'm not referring to you, BTW, since I haven't the foggiest whether
- or not you've actually read the book. If you HAVE, I would love to
- know what your opinion is.
-
- If a "skeptic" will come forward and say "I've read the book. It's
- garbage. Here's why....", then I'll listen. But, if a "skeptic"
- says, "Well gang, there's yet another book out about Roswell, and
- since we've all heard it time and time again, it's gotta be garbage...."
- then they have a problem with the concept of gathering data before
- drawing conclusions (ie, they cannot possibly qualify for any kind
- of true scientific attitude).
-
- Darn Darn DARN!!! I wish I'd seen that show.... :-).
-
- BTW: For those who haven't a clue to what I'm talking about....
- the book is "UFO Crash at Roswell" by Kevin Randle (USAFR) and
- Donald Schmitt. It just hit the stands in June.

- Even if the skeptic did research on a particular claim, the public
- probably won't accept his explanation. Often the language used
- will only convince other skeptics. A skeptic might think, "I did
- the research on the last round, but nobody wanted to listen to my
- debunking. Why bother going thru it all over again?" He thinks
- it was his research that failed to sway the public, but maybe it
- was his delivery.
-
- (Jane Q. Public talking to John T. Skeptic:)
- You can convince me that most crop circles are made by pranksters.
- But you cannot expect me to assume that every crop circle is a
- fraud. My open mind says I must investigate every incident with
- no preconceived notions. Sure, some people see UFO's that turn
- out to be illusions, hallucinations, over-active imaginations.
- But when a new witness comes forward, I do not start from the
- closed opinion that he must be mistaken. And to bring in facts
- from totally unrelated cases is bad science.
-
- OK, skeptics. You can try to fault a person's logic and continue
- to talk about past debunking successes, or you can use that person's
- own logic to look at the facts of every individual case on its
- own merits. Suppose someone told you "I saw a green cat!". Do you
- (a) say "All other cats have turned out to be not green, so you
- must be imagining it."
- (b) show him ways of faking the appearance of a green cat and hope
- he will admit in humiliation that he was fooled.
- (c) accept his honest testimony and work with him to find a
- plausible explanation.
- Which approach (or others) will win him to your side?
-
- Larry King must set these people up. I remember seeing one show
- (well, I think I remember it. It was a while ago, and maybe you
- all discussed it before I joined this newsgroup. And maybe my
- eyewitness account is faulty after all this time . . .)
- about a poltergeist-haunted house. A noted skeptic (was it, oh
- maybe, Philip Klass?) said something to the effect, "None of the
- other houses in the area were experiencing anything unusual."
- Well, sure! By definition, a poltergeist is going to bother only
- one household or even only one person. But he said it as if to
- imply "If only Tom and Mary see it, they must be making it up."
- That argument works on a skeptic crowd, but only makes the other
- side laugh at your naive disbelief.
-
- Speak their language before you expect them to listen!

- If they have no independently verifyable evidence of the existence
- of any green cat, then the phenomenon is simply _UNKNOWN_. It
- remains _UNKNOWN_ in spite of the man's testimony because you
- have no objective means to verify (or disprove) his testimony.
- For all you know, the man may be lying (a choice you didn't
- provide). That's why anecdotal evidence is useless in the
- sciences - there's no method available for verification. The
- fact is that (a) people _do_ imagine things; (b) people _do_ get
- fooled; (c) people _do_ honestly report unusual things; and (d)
- as unpalatable as it is to make the accusation: people _do_ lie
- about things. With only the _testimony_ to go on, there's no
- way to distinguish between these (and other) possibilities.
-
- Not accepting such vague evidence may seem harsh, but it's
- been repeatedly demonstrated as one of the more reliable
- ways of avoiding large mistakes. If the phenomenon is
- real (your choice (c)) then verifyable evidence will turn up
- sooner or later. In the meantime, _UNKNOWN_ doesn't mean
- "didn't happen", it means _UNKNOWN_. The problem is that
- science doesn't deal with _complete_ unknowns. There must
- either be a verifyable phenomenon to study or a new prediction
- of some (otherwise well verified) theory to go on. Without
- these, the phenomenon in question is not amenable to scientific
- inquiry. No matter how fervently you believe in something, if
- its not amenable to scientific inquiry, few scientists will
- be interested - many may scoff (especially if they fervently
- believe the opposite - and since you've provided no _hard_
- evidence, their belief is as justified as yours).
-
- The bottom line is that the level of rhertoric and the heat
- of discussions about UFOs is not justified by the quality
- of the evidence. (In fact, isn't there a famous aphorism
- that the heat generated in an argument is inversely proportional
- to the quality of evidence being discussed?)

- UFO sightings and concluded that none had a shred of hard evidence.
-
- Although reason and the obvious may have sided with the skeptic, IMHO
- the debate was won by the author and company in the public's view. It
- seemed that the skeptic had a general knowledge of the incident but
- not nearly enough first-hand knowledge of testimony to argue
- convincingly against the evidence presented by the author.
-
- I saw the show. The 'older man' was Phil Klass, and I can assure you
- that he is intimately familiar with every detail of Roswell, probably
- sickeningly familiar with it, has examined the evidence himself in
- detail and written at length about it. It's possible that, as you
- say, the public will side with the UFO-nik, but I think it has more to
- do with the structure of tv shows of this type.

- +This was on another echo. I found it

- +there might want to look into it.
- + * Originally from Mike Mansfield
- + In a recent 'research study' done
- +by UTMB Neuropsychology Galveston on the
- +effects of migrane headaches upon
- +lifestyle, a few CURIOUS questions
- +arose,
- +being that my wife was a participant,
- +she was able to relay this information
- +to me. (She had recently been scheduled
- +for a Cat Scan to diagnose unusual
- +migrane headaches) The questionairres
- +were in general, mostly generic, but
- +the following questions were asked that
- +make me feel *perhaps* something more
- +is being studied than just headaches...
- +1) Have you ever felt you were being
- +watched? next question was a clincher...
- +2) Do you believe in
- +Extraterrestrial life?
- +
- +I see little reason that such questions
- +should be included in a purely
- +scientific study unless the medical
- +profession has turned 180 degrees and
- +suddenly believes in
- +extraterrestrials...
-
- For your info, the following is taken from a medical text. Do we
- have any MDs out there to comment?

- '...Common Migraine. This is the most frequent type of migraine,
- occuring in over 80% of migraine sufferers. The prodromes of common
- migraine are not sharply defined, and they precede the attack by
- several hours or even days. These vary widely from patient to patient
- and include psychic disturbances, fatigue, nausea and vomiting, and
- changes in fluid balance...'

- RE: Those strange cat scan questions
- That sounds like something that would be interesting to track down. If
- it is a bonafide study it ought to be public record as to what they are
- doing and why. Certainly sounds suspicious if it is what it seems to
- be on the surface. Can you followup with the poster of the original
- message to maybe find out more?

- Dave,
- Jim was on the radio on July 4th. We have 3 tape recorders and not
- one of them would work right! I think I know someone who might have
- taped the program, and I'll get back to you. It was an excellent
- show and the first hour had Kevin Randle on live.
