UFO Hunters Forums

well ive only seen one episode so far, and i feel asleep while watching it, so i cant really say if its good or bad. from wqat ive seen, i dont like but lets give it a few more episodes to redeem itself

I agree 100%.
These guys are jokes and their "scientific methods" are laughable. For instance, when the guy checks the so called implant for RF with a broad range frequency counter and claims it is emitting RF on two different frequencies. Well I have one of those counters and I can hold it against ANY person or object and get a frequency lock of some kind on various frequencies. It is picking up harmonic noise!!

The only way to have carried out that test would have been for everyone to remove all electronics and enter a Faraday cage. This would eliminate the ambient noise. Only thing left would be the internal harmonics of the counter which should be known and printed in its specifications. Just the fact there was a camera nearby invalidates the test instantly!

And then when they get worked up over the implant "jumping around", good lord are they retarded or something?

I cannot believe they are getting paid for this crap!
I am a UFO fanboy, but this show hurts UFOlogy with its idiocy...

Calm down, people. They're doing what they can with what they have to work with. And (Ted Acworth, I think) keeps things fair. The only person to blame for the BS in the abduction episode is Dr. Roger Leir.

Does any one notice the older UFO guy (forgot his name) blinks very hard, you know, like he's squinting but totally closing his eyes? Isn't that an indicator of lying?

Yeah, is that why he always wears sunglasses?

"You are an Alien-Human Hybrid..." -Old guy from the show..

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^COME ON MAN!

I think I have discovered a Human-Jackass hybrid while watching this show!!

I find it very informative and it doesn't just prove hoaxes. It shows that most evidence is real.

Your 'Old Guy' is Bill, and Pat set him streight on hybrid thing. Told him he was going off the deep end. So mosta y'all think the show isn't proving evidence in a good, scientific way?

There is nothing scientific about their methods, experiments, or crackpot theories. This show actually makes one less intelligent for having viewed it. I too was excited to hear about this show and that true scientific methods would be used to investigate. This, however, cannot be further from the truth. The old guy is completely insane, and obviously wants to believe and convince others so badly he twists and shapes whatever morsels of "evidence" they gather to fit his crackpot theories......even to the point the other crackpots on his team often shoot him looks of disgust, yet they rarely decide to speak up.

Much of the "evidence" gathered is completely worthless for a multitude of reasons I won't get into in detail here, but suffice to say the way they conduct their experiments, if one can call them that with a straight face, is completely unscientific. Rarely are any conducted in a controlled environment, never are the conditions the same, they often make wild assumptions and simply guess at vital parameters, and last but not least, they mostly investigate cases that are older than they are, rendering the whole exercise pointless.

Take for example the "jumping implant" episode. I mean, it would be one thing for just the crazy old man to assert the implant was moving on its own, but as is often the case, the others either don't challenge him and therefore all look like buffoons, or they actually agree with him! The implant was buried in tissue. Tissue was all around it. Of course, as the instrument is manipulating the tissue around it, the implant is going to move. This is just common sense. Furthermore, when they do remove it, they speculate it has "secret powers". It has been awhile, so I cannot recall all the details, but I believe they come to find it was made of iron or some such metal, with no particularly interesting shape or method of construction, yet they jump to the conclusion that this piece of shrapnel is capable of not only intelligent behavior (trying to "elude capture"), but also functions such as communicating with a superior race at long distances. Excuse me if I'm a bit skeptical, but the thing was a piece of shrapnel. It wasn't machined in any way. It had no method of mobility. No circuitry. And iron, if I remember correctly and that was indeed what the device was made of, is not the material of choice for constructing advanced electronics. Especially when you consider the fact it was supposedly from an advanced race. I hardly think they would use iron. And anyone that blindly jumps to such conclusions or even allows them to be posited in their presence under the guise of true science without speaking up is not worthy of the title researcher or scientist and should be viewed with the utmost skepticism. Further, to anyone that might point out that is only one episode.......well, I can show you the same stupidity going on in every episode. Any real scientist, even one that believed it was a possibility aliens WERE visiting us, would laugh these buffoons out of the room. Absolutely nothing they do.....not the investigations, not the experiments, not the "theories".....nothing.......is done in anywhere even near the vicinity of true scientific method. I can point out a multitude of flaws in their methods in each and every episode. They are a joke. Plain and simple. A joke and a disgrace. It is an absolute disgrace to the entire scientific discipline to call any one of the team a scientist, or to suggest any part of their show is done in anything approaching a scientific manner. And finally, if anyone interested in truly studying UFOs, whatever they may be, ever hopes to be taken seriously, they too should be as offended as I am by this garbage. The only redeeming value of UFO Hunters is as comedy......the only reason I occasionally tune in after my initial horror at this farce of a program.
