Professor Says UFO Studies Should Be Taught At Universities
New York anthropology professor Philip Haseley wants young people to get the best education possible, and part of that education, he says, should be about UFOs. Haseley thinks universities should offer classes on UFOs and other unexplained phenomena from space. "[A sighting] happens to millions of people [around the world]. It's about time we looked into this as a worthy area of study. It's important that the whole subject be brought out in the open and investigated," he said. I want to believe the truth is out there in 500 words or less.
And I would take your money. Next year we can come back and see who learned more.
Faster! Faster! Faster would be better!
Some schools teach creationism. Some teach actual theology. Why should alien abduction be treated any differently? Teach the controversy!
Looking at tuition costs can make one feel like they've been probed in the ass so why not learn about others who have felt the same way?

...one would expect the quality of "sighting" recordings to increase, but they aren't.
I think that's very telling.
It is telling. What your post tells me is... they got to you too. (sigh)
I would take that class
And I would take your money. Next year we can come back and see who learned more.
Well, right off the bat, you'd learn that people taking UFO classes don't have much money.
No, The Onion would have a cover story like: "Guest speakers at university speak out against their oppression to include Santa Claus, The Easter Bunny, Vampire, The Boogie-man, God, and other fictional characters"

but I don't think many of us would consider "Draconic Studies" a worth academic pursuit.
And why not? I think the class would be a good one as it discusses the differences between red, blue, green, yellow, white, etc dragons.

They were certainly an important phenomenon especially in the 70s
Other things that were popular in the 70s: these. Coincidence?
Whatever it is, it's notablog.
We have defeated EVERY skeptical challenge to the Meier case, as you can read - for FREE - at the site. Further, Meier is simply the source of the most abundant, specific, prophetically accurate scientific and world event related information in human history, something the naysayers and defamers simply can't address. The person who's posted the plainly inaccurate and defamatory claims in response to my post has a very vested interest in Meier not being genuine. Unfortunately for mschuyler, 68 years worth of contacts and information easily prove him wrong. But take no one's word for it, check it out for yourself and be prepared to deal with voluminous documentation in the process. The plain, irrefutable fact is that there really is no other UFO contact case than Meier's. All the rest, as you can easily see, are lights-in-the-sky that simply leave people conjecturing, with absolutely zero evidence, let alone real proof, that there's anything extraterrestrial - or even significant - about them.
#1. MY tinfoil hat is NOT crazy.
#2. Considering "religion's" track record/past performance/response to current issues, the crazies are running the insane asylum.
I cannot wait for a legitimate encounter because I would ask for religious/political/economic asylum from this loony bin called Earth.
If people wish to wallow in the arrogant belief that they are the most intelligent beings in the verse, may the All that is, protect them. It would take a very intelligent race that is patient with the overt/covert leadership of this planet to keep from trashing this planet and starting over from scratch.
I would offer my services to be caretaker of all that is worthy of rescue, ie. the dolphins, whales, elephants, gorillas and any other endangered species other than MAN.
The mind conceives, the body achieves, the spirit manifests.
There was talk of one here at the local state university but it was shot down when the professors ulterior motive was exposed to actually build a UFO and barnstorm the local Scientology Church and Kirstie Alleys house.
