Perspectivas#

Si usted es de los que han perdido su tiempo leyendo a personajes como Enrique de Vicente, sabrá perfectamente que el grial es la copa que usó Jesucristo en la última cena… o que es una copa en la que José de Arimatea recogió la sangre de Jesucristo durante la crucifixión… o que es las dos cosas, da igual, lo importante es que la tal reliquia tiene potentísimos poderes mágicos y el que la encuentre va que arrea camino de dominar el mundo.

En la nota “El Caso Bariloche y la falta de información” aparecida en la página web [link:www.geocities.com] de la Red Argentina de Ufología (RAO) -y reproducida al final de esta nota- el ufólogo Carlos Daniel Ferguson hace referencia a algunos de nuestros escritos en Espacio Exterior, aunque –siguiendo una forma de proceder cada vez más frecuente en el ambiente ufológico- sin mencionar ni a esta página ni al autor. O lo que es incluso peor, haciendo referencia a nosotros con frases despectivas como “escépticos de turno”, “negadores”, “profesionales desinformados”, “improvisados a la enésima potencia”, “personajes escepticoides” y similares, en una actitud propia de quienes al no disponer de argumentos sólidos sólo les queda el ataque ad hominem, en un vano intento de desprestigiar a quienes expresan lo que no quieren oir.

Lançamento do Radar Ockham

Há mais de dois anos no ar, já estava na hora do Projeto Ockham dar uma remodelada em seu visual. Aproveitando essa deixa, partimos para um projeto que estávamos cozinhando há algum tempo: um boletim periódico com textos mais curtos que os publicados no site e que servisse como “aperitivo” para os leitores, entre uma atualização e outra. Este boletim será enviado para os leitores cadastrados (além de estar disponível no site), mas torcemos para que ele seja considerado interessante o suficiente para ser repassado a (muitos) outros leitores em potencial.

ABC documentary lands in UFO territory

February 24, 2005
By Alessandra Stanley New York Times
During a sweeps month, UFO is not solely an abbreviation for unidentified flying object. When a veteran network anchor devotes two hours to the subject in a special prime-time report, UFO can also be code for uncontrollable fear of obscurity.
Tom Brokaw’s retirement as the NBC anchor did not drive viewers to ABC en masse; actually, the ratings of his replacement, Brian Williams, are higher than Peter Jennings’. Even Dan Rather’s fall from grace and imminent retirement have not significantly benefited ABC’s “World News Tonight.” And that may help explain the mystery of why Jennings, ABC’s lofty and fastidious anchorman, chose to lend his gravitas to a lengthy examination of extraterrestrial life forms.

Freak Show

A brand-new television show taps into the Russian appetite for paranormal phenomena.
By Brian Droitcour
Published: February 25, 2005
Clinical death, an alien corpse discovered near Chelyabinsk and a lake-dwelling monster in the Tver region are some of the paranormal phenomena that the new television show “Inexplicable, But True!” (”Neobyasnimo, no fakt!”) promises to investigate. The show’s creators are betting that the Russian audience’s readiness to believe in psychic powers and UFOs will guarantee good ratings. They are also confident that their down-to-earth approach — making arguments based on facts, eyewitness testimony and photographic and video evidence — will enable them to shrug off criticism from skeptics and potentially hostile organizations like the Russian Orthodox Church.

Por Leonardo Moledo

Cuando llegamos a San Marcos Sierra, para nuestras vacaciones, y nos dijeron que a diez minutos de combi, al pie del Uritorco, había un pueblito enteramente ocupado por extraterrestres venidos directamente desde Betelgeuse, manifesté mi inconmovible decisión científica de visitarlo.

Psst - Hey, you! Yeah, you, the museum guy. C’mere.
Have I got a deal for you! Right here outta my car trunk I’m selling the actual plastic box King Tut was buried in. Not interested?
Then how about these two genuine Christopher Columbus skulls: one from when he was a kid and one when he was an old man. Or maybe this 9th-century Viking map of Sheboygan? You can buy them all at wholesale. Just don’t ask too many questions.. . .

According to German newspaper Bild sexologist Piero Lorenzoni said: “A woman’s breasts denote a woman’s character, just like her star sign.”
