The Chud Thread of The Unexplained.

While I fully acknowledge dynamotv's thread, that seems to be more a "here's what I believe" type discussion whereas I thought I'd create a thread thats more of an open ended sharing and discussion on everything to do with the 'unexplained' phenomena in popular culture. I don't really care if you believe in any of the more famous stuff or not, I used to be quite the believer as a kid but have become much more skeptical in my old age.

So whether it's UFO's and aliens, sasquatch or cryptozoology in general, secret black ops military speculative hardware and technology, or the supernatural, or whatever, think of this thread as a catch all for discussions, stories, arguments, news reports, images or videos*.



Okay I'll kick things off with a couple of discussion topics.

- Project Aurora - Supposedly the top secret spy and recon plane that can go between mach 6-8 that replaced the Blackbird which in turn had replaced the U2 spy plane, I'm not even sure if this one can be filed under 'unexplained' personally. Between photos of the infamous 'donut on a rope' contrail to reports and photos of black triangular craft in the sky for the last twenty years (to be honest, as I've gotten older Ive come to the conclusion that many unexplained UFO's could very easily be simply confidential military aircraft - the unexplainable ones mind you as opposed to the easily debunkable) this seems pretty obviously in existence to me personally. Anyone here with any air force knowledge that may know a little more about this? Am I just a fool and most people accept it as fact now anyway?


- Crazy cryptozoological videos - so I have a bit of a thing for cryptozoology, for some reason thats the only real unexplainable stuff that still fascinates the hell out of me (sasquatch in particular), whether Im a believer or not. As a consequence I throw up a couple of vids here.

First one is known as the "Gable Film". Supposedly shot on 8mm and found in someones attic or basement if I recall, I saw this film last year and rewatched it a few times to try and get past my immediate "what the hell' reaction. While I suspect its a hoax, its definately a damn good one - kinda freaky too, but that may just be the Floyd playing over the video.

Second vid and photos - Chupacabras. Personally Im open minded to the idea theyre either some hybrid or strange species of hairless canine ( a lot of people say their malnourished coyotes with mange, but if thats the case theres a fair many of them considering reports and the like) Then you have videos like this and photos like this, this and this (check the front teeth), which seem to bear that theory out to me personally. I certainly don't think they look anything like this thats for sure.



So there's a few to kick off discussion, but what gets you interested in these areas? Like I said, I'm a helluva long way from the Mulderesque believer I was for the first two decades of my life or so, but I still find this stuff utterly fascinating, as much for what it says about us as for the topics themselves.





*While Im sure this will touch on famous conspiracies as well, there have been so many other topics started here dealing with 9-11 nonsensical ramblings or Illuminati craziness and the like, maybe save them for a "conspiracy thread" rather than this one

South Park took him to school so completely I'm amazed he still has a career.

AAAAAAAAARGH. You may not be teasing but I've still got blue balls.

Jesus, can you at least talk in broad strokes and generalities? Is this the next in line to replace the Aurora?

If this is so incredibly confidential how come your friends dad told you about it?

The government are developing their own X-Men now?



Fuckin hell...

Yeah I have to be honest JetMan, I've never heard this admission, do you have any kind of link to back up that story?

...and then what were people seeing and what was killing all their livestock in such a strange manner?

...and if it was made up by Puerto Ricos tourism board why have sightings and attacks been reported in so many other places?

...and if the photos I've posted are just 'disfigured dogs' then how come they're all disfigured in the exact same way and how come so many people report, photograph and video so many of them?

So contribute something of that nature Jacob, since you want to come in here being so fucking cheery (and sorry I thought Aurora kinda qualified).

Be the change you want to see in the thread - its not my unexplained thread, it's everyones.

How does one 'create' a ghost exactly?

Well tha animals pictured all have the same teeth, the same ears the same tails and the same body shape, it's hardly like a buncha frat boys are just shaving random dogs.

Does the search and idea of undiscovered animal species fall under 'supernatural' in your opinion Jacob? Sure a lot of it probably is bullshit, but as Richard said earler we are still discovering new species of animal even in the 21st Century...

...and saying 'I think it's mostly bullshit' in regards to supernatural stuff is one thing, but not 'trucking with it'? That almost sounds actively hostile to the idea - why so close minded?

Im not necassarily a 'believer' per se, but I keep an open mind cause I freely admit that I and we as a society, don't know or understand everything around us.

...and what unexplained stuff interests you?

...but Kimbell who gets to decide whats 'bad stuff' and what isn't?

It is, unfortunately it was done a terrilble disservice by Baby: Secret Of The Lost Legend.

That film was cheap and awful.

Honestly, you dodged a bullet.

...and Jacob, honestly thats cool, again tho, what unexplained things have captured your imagination in your time?
