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."

Young and Duke respond "Nope, no anal probing"

"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."

Not as funny as you thought it was

[hairyfeet]

Well I personally think its funny that most likely to this very day the US government is working under a 'war of the worlds' rule that says if little green men parked on the White house lawn to get some pics with the Obama cutout they'd be going "aliens? what aliens? didn't see a thing, nope' because they are afraid we poor little peasants would snap and go apeshit. It reminds me of a booklet my grandfather brought home from the airbase he was stationed on around the time of Blue book. It said "THERE ARE NO UFOS...but if you see one DO NOT FIRE unless fired upon and report it immediately to the base commander". He said 'perfect example of military logic, we refuse to admit anything might exist but don't shoot at the damned thing whatever you do".

The sad part is if UFOs are real most likely they are doing the same thing we do on those safari tours, pointing out the animals on some "tour of the crazy monkey world". I can just imagine the spiel "And here we have the crazy monkeys in one of their favorite past times, where they throw chunks of metal and primitive chemical rockets at each other in a fight for territory and dominance, most likely for mates and resources. No flurg you may NOT go poke one with a stick, do you have ANY idea what a crazy monkey smells like? you get close enough to poke it with a stick we will never get the stench out of the ship, woof. Oh and here's a treat for those with strong stomachs, over on the left we have two of the monkeys procreating on top of one of their primitive huts. As you can see they haven't developed asexual reproduction which is why we believe they smell so horrible, its most likely used to attract mates and to tell when the female is fertile. Oh it looks like its your lucky day folks, directly in front of us is one of their incredibly primitive flying vehicles, we believe those bulbous things hanging below it is a fetish to show the females how high the pilot ranks with the tribe, now we will play with it a little just so you can see how poorly built these machines are, why they can't even turn sideways!"

UFOs are real. Most of them are moved to the identified category eventually, though :)

Psychics != Physics. :(

[Bahumat]

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

Re:Psychics != Physics. :(

[Derekloffin]

You too huh... it went from, ooo, this could be... oh psychics... well, nothing to see here folks.

Re:Psychics != Physics. :(

[icqraid]

I too thought it said Physics. I was expecting a logical sequence of empirical data, but I got a post that shouldn't be on slashdot.

My favorite like about the bankruptcy of The Psychic Friends Network .. They didn't see it coming.

I would wonder how physics would see something .. physics explain how something is seen: photons launched from star (at C), wavelengths of light, optic receptors, transmission of electrical signals, etc.

Remote Viewing though ... cough ... If I could do that I'd be looking for gold or diamonds, not space junk on the Moon.

Re:Psychics != Physics. :(

[uigrad_2000]

Well, the story is clearly not about actual science, but how crazy some of these remote viewing people can be.

The group claiming to see the alien ship are not in the least bit credible. Slashdot efditors: If you are going to discuss lunatics, at least get someone with an interesting past. For example:

Laura Eisenhower, the great-granddaughter of Ike himself, is a whistleblower on the secret Mars colony project!!

Reading Laura's site, she has a ton of amazing claims, in fact, the missions to Mars are far from being the craziest of her claims. You can tell it is written with sincerity, but I just can't believe a member of the Eisenhower family could be this crazy.

I suspect the market price for aliens space junk is far higher than for mere gold or diamonds.

Apollo 18 ad

[Anonymous Coward]

You're looking at guerrilla marketing for the "Apollo 18" movie, folks. Nothing to see here.

Why??

Why the fuck is this bullshit on slashdot??

Re:Why??

It isn't news. It isn't for nerds. And it doesn't matter... that just about wraps it up, doesn't it...

It's because we don't have a mechanism to punish or ban people who vote up stories like this.

Way to go "unknown lamer"

[X0563511]

This should be in idle, not science.

Re:Way to go "unknown lamer"

[Unknown Lamer]

Oi, the tagging/section system decided to use science instead of idle despite being tagged idle before science and ... when in doubt, I like to blame Slashcode for my relationship problems.

Alternate headline:

[J'raxis]

"Incredible claim made by group with no credibility."

Okay then.

Is there anyway to vote crap like this

[liquidweaver]

off the front page? This kind of pollution is really nasty for those of use with an RSS feed, too.

Dumbasses

[tylersoze]

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.

MPAA

[guttentag]

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.

Re:MPAA

[Bradmont]

No, the MPAA should sue their arses. Obviously, if they have the power to psychically see things outside of normal line of sight, they must, logically, be watching movies they haven't paid for, and thus causing millions of dollars of sales losses. While they're at it, they should have any domain names associated with the group confiscated, for promoting their illegal and immoral methods of pirate viewing.

Fuck this shit. Last straw. Bye slashdot

[syousef]

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.

Re:Fuck this shit. Last straw. Bye slashdot

[geekoid]

How to tell someone isn't really going to quit /. They talk about quitting /.

Check out their website. No, seriously.

[CanHasDIY]

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...

Sylvia Browne is gonna be pissed she didn't think of it first.
