20150811 - Seth Shostak, SETI - Live Chat Thread

[RoseGirl]

You know...I wonder if Seth and his gang ever work with the telescope from the Vatican or with the Vatican.

Last caller said something about antennae?  Red or Black antennae, were they waving?

We all do it the same.

[Robert]

Funny how my mention of Ben Franklin came in directly under the animation of those Franklins.

Seti gets 100 million dollars and produces ZERO results, no one bats an eye. Greer makes 200 dollars selling his nonsense and everyone loses their minds.

[Royal_Tenenbaum]

Bristol caller, just say you are a trucker and you are straight. Art will forgive the noise. 

[QuantumMystics]

Until Greer delivers; he's no better than Courtney Brown.  He promised the world and failed to deliver.

I think he's talking about the alleged Pine Gap video.

[Mind Flayer Monk]

I wonder what Shostok's fundraising pitch is like. I bet its access to "secret knowledge" and *wink wink* the inner workings of SETI and its discoveries. Not that different from Greer after all.

The rough life of a seti scientist....

I have a feeling Seth has seen it. Everyone has seen it.

It's clearly just swamp gas.

Hard to believe Seth has never seen the "fireflies" filmed from various US and USSR space missions.  They definitely change direction.

I think its a good question, I hope we get an answer!

[RoseGirl]

Gawd....can you imagine if the Vatican got a signal?

[QuantumMystics]

NY Times before these guys? Oh then these guys must work at the NY Times of course? Why wouldn't they?

[Lilith]

I thought it was a Tazmanian Dust Devil.

[Royal_Tenenbaum]

Yakov Smirnov calling in now.

[Autistic Star Children]

this guy is trolling

[GuerrillaUnReal]

Hey, it's the Egyptian Magician calling in.

[AppealPlay]

Yeah, right?  I've seen it a dozen times.  I'm not sure of its provenance, though.  Is there an official record of where the video came from?

I had an Australian friend years ago who was in the Aussie military.  He deployed to the Middle East and unfortunately I lost track of him after that.  Anyway, he was obsessed with aliens/UFOs and I swear he showed that video to every person he met.

Ghost/Anthony, buddy, if you're out there ring me up.

Yakov Smirnov calling in now.

In Russia, they have space program. In America, we have no space program. Yuck yuck yuck...

[QuantumMystics]

Battlestar Galactica!!!

[Uncle Duke]

I distinctly heard "we are Devo" in that replay.

[malachi.martini]

NY Times before these guys? Oh then these guys must work at the NY Times of course? Why wouldn't they?

'I'd never lie to the New York Times!'

[doctor weird]

Seth is obviously Optimus Prime at this point

[GeorgieForPresident2216]

Wow, what a show! Snorey and Company must be getting a little concerned at this point.
