Psychics Say Apollo 16 Astronauts Found Alien Ship
astroengine writes "A group called Transception Incorporated, self-described as an Austin, Texas-based psychic R&D operation, sent a letter (PDF) to NASA Administrator Charles Bolden that nominates the Apollo 16 crew for the Congressional Space Medal of Honor. Why? Well, a variety of 'shipwreck elements' on the Moon — described as 'structures, people/aliens, biological technology, and their plight' — were reportedly 'seen' through remote viewing (PDF) by six experts at Transception. These 'elements' can be seen, along with Apollo 16 moonwalkers John Young and Charles Duke, in photographs during that famous mission, obviously making this the first ever alien encounter."
"We're not sure what these psychics are talking about, but we sure didn't encounter any aliens, nor were we in any way anally-probed. And we certainly weren't anally-probed repeatedly. Just never happened. We enjoyed a normal mission with no butt-raping from aliens at all...just two astronauts doing their job and *not* being tied down and repeatedly probed."

I was way more excited about this until I realized I'd misread "psychics" as "physics". Sigh.

You're looking at guerrilla marketing for the "Apollo 18" movie, folks. Nothing to see here.
Why the fuck is this bullshit on slashdot??
This should be in idle, not science.

"Incredible claim made by group with no credibility."
Okay then.

I was using Remote Viewing, and I saw that they found my wallet up there too. I'd like it returned. With the $5000 in cash I had in it.
off the front page? This kind of pollution is really nasty for those of use with an RSS feed, too.

Bah, everyone knows it was Apollo *11* that discovered aliens. They even made a documentary about it where events occurred in real time, it was called "Transformers Presents: Pink Floyd's Dark Side of the Moon: The Quickening" or something like that, by Average American Voter.
... time to submit all my exciting Nostradamus prediction stories and how it ties in with the world ending in 2012.
C'mon editors! This is what is now considered front page material?
The MPAA should hire these guys to lobby Congress on their behalf, because they make a much more convincing argument for blatant bullshit than Chris Dodd ever did.
It's your own damn fault for loading the video after reading the summary. ... or did you not read the summary? That will teach you.

I've been here for about a decade and a half and I'm done. I do not come here to read about fucking psychics and lately I get real news in popular press before it hits this site. This place was always a nasty one, full of trolls well entrenched along with worthwhile posters, but the news use to be quality and you could get a decent conversation. Now I'd be better off reading the fucking enquirer. Nice knowing you slashdot, don't let the door hit your arse on the way out.

Is there a new movie coming out about this or something? I say this because anytime an outlet like The History Channel suddenly starts hyping some weird paranormal event, it is because they were seeded with $$$ by the studio to drum up hype. This story sounds familiar, but I don't see the trailers.

all it's missing is the editorializing in the summary.
"It will be interesting to see how the corporatist plutocrats in Washington respond to this blowing of the cover-up and how it proves that Google is actually regarded as a diety by every galactic culture but ours..."
The Aliens released a statement through their spokesman, Giorgio A. Tsoukalos:
Psychics do not exist. We bred it out of the human race a long time ago.

and how it proves that Google is actually regarded as a diety by every galactic culture but ours..."
That sounds more plausible than TFA.
Don't know something? Look it up. Still don't know? Then ask.
EOM
Send them with the hairdressers and telephone sanitizers to find the aliens.
I just love this concept and will help to make it happen.
Prove anything by multiplying Huge Number times Tiny Number
From what I've heard one of the astronauts did see an intelligent living organism climbing out of the moonlander.
These people don't need drugs to believe in aliens, they need drugs to not believe in aliens.
This is taking advantage of the mentally ill.
Don't know something? Look it up. Still don't know? Then ask.
In fact a documentary series was made about this that reveals all: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dR90P1GhZA4.
usually, I'm above posting the hoary old obligatory XKCD link
ugh, I feel dirty.

Scully: Why?
Mulder: Well, a variety of 'shipwreck elements' on the Moon — described as 'structures, people/aliens, biological technology, and their plight' — were reportedly 'seen' through remote viewing by six experts at Transception.

At first, I thought this might be a poorly disguised advert for Iron Sky, until I read their 'About Us' page:
TRANSCEPTION INCORPORATED is a pioneer in the new frontier of mind itself, founded on the premise that (?foreign?) technology can be transferred lawfully from the state of nature from any place in the Universe, in time or space, using a team of highly trained/skilled Controlled Remote Viewers (CRVers). At least by way of the Recommendation for Nomination for the Congressional Space Medal of Honor, submitted to the NASA Administrator on December 15, 2011, TRANSCEPTION has shown that technology can be transferred lawfully from the state of nature from any place in the Universe, in time or space, using a team of highly trained/skilled Controlled Remote Viewers. In sum, TRANSCEPTION INCORPORATED is an R&D company specializing in the exploitation of CRV and other methods to lawfully extract technology from the state of nature as a means for building, licensing, and enforcing its intellectual property (IP) portfolio of patents and copyrights.
So... "psychic" patent trolls...

This is absolute codswaddle, and is a new low for Slashdot content. Try harder.

Now I don't feel so bad about never reading TFA.

I wish there was a way to downvote crap articles like this.
Remote viewers included. It is trivial enough to test someone's ability to remote view or "astral project" by getting them to draw a picture of something or some object which they cannot see but which is unambiguously identifiable. Funnily enough this doesn't happen either.
All that has been demonstrated here is if that if you get together 6 credulous idiots in a room they will riff off each others delusions and concoct a story which is not disprovable. What is not so obvious is why this story got approved for Slashdot.
No, I think it's a low, even for idle.
These "psychics" were probably taking too many drugs while watching Transformers and Apollo 18.
That, is a much simpler explanation.
