Do you suspect that the government knows more about things then they're letting on?

[Jonno21]

I'm talking about ufo's, Research mutants, Asteroid closecalls and the supernatural?

"Does the mod get involved in the supernatural and research labs hybrid animals?"

Personally, I'm not sure the government 'gets involved' in the supernatural because I'm not convinced there's anything to be involved in. It's well worth, for instance, considering the life work of James Randi - a former great of magic and one of my heroes - who has exposed hundreds of self-proclaimed channelers, psychics, mediums, etc. for using trickery. Derren Brown achieved a similar effect several years ago when he decided to test major-name organisations in various fields of paranormality and successfully got several of them to endorse him as the real thing without even asking if he was tricking them.

UFOs are marginally (though not much...) more plausible merely because the possibility of life elsewhere in the universe is, as far as we know, significantly more probable than the possibility of human life after death. But even so, there's precious little evidence that contact has ever happened. For this, I reccommend digging up Carl Sagan's comments on the subject - you'd be hard pressed to find any examples of alleged sightings, abductions or encounters which actually stand up to critical or scientific scrutiny.

With regard govt conspiracy theories generally - I reccommend brushing up on what history we have of the intelligence services, which for obvious reasons is highly incomplete but is valuable regardless. What we do know is that intelligence services and government bureaucracies seem to be far less efficient or competent than they would need to be in order for conspiracy theories to have a semblance of truth (minus very small-scale and pretty unsophisticated manipulations like the Tuskegee experiments).

There is no "supernatural" what ever that means, load of con men and charlatans. UFO's definately exist but they are simply unidentified, not aliens, not because there is no life out there but because we cannot ever meet or communicate, due to the distances involved. Asteriods are regularly getting near and are reported regularly, a hit at some point is inievitable, juts a matter of degree.

[humbersloop]

yes OP, I'm sure they do.

There's a closely guarded network of secret owl sanctuaries dotted round the country - the contents make the end of Raiders of the Lost Ark look like a car boot sale. ; )

[Jonno21]

d9f1c7 so you're not a believer in ghosts then?
Humbersloop are you on the right thread? Owl sanctuaries were not illegal, a mystery or a conspira theory the last time i checked, maybe you need to fire your information source.

Zacsmaster use "google translation" to translate you answer into English as we don't understand you.

Tzeet.

[d9f1c7]

There are no ghosts, mediums, psychics, paranormal activity etc etc or. Any thing of that nature has a rational explanation or is a product of the drugs you are currently taking or your gullibility level. I am also an atheist if that helps. See here for all forms of charlatanery debunked and explained.

from homeopathy to spoon bending all utter codswallop.

I don't know how most conjuring tricks are done but I do know that there is no "magic" involved.

[FredPuli43]

UFOs ? Only to the extent that governments like to keep secret any defence work and from time to time in the past some of it may have given rise to sightings which the government doesn't wish to explain.
How could a government keep an ' asteroid close call' secret? It couldn't be done.
Supernatural? No such thing. Research mutants? No.
But there are books out which explain the obsession with conspiracy theories.

You are not fighting for the same cause you are just desperately conforming to the stereotype of a non-conformist.

But back to the point I think you are probably giving the government a bit too much credit - if they had any secret information it would have been left on a train or in the back of a taxi long ago.
