Psychics Say Apollo 16 Astronauts Found Alien Ship

Posted by Unknown on from the scully-says-yeah-right dept.

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."

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

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

      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.

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

      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.
