The Disclosure Project guy (Dr. Steven Greer) was on Coast to Coast last night, claiming that SETI has finally received intelligent signals from outer space. SETI urged to fess up over alien signals, the Register reported in an fair-and-balanced way – noting that Art Bell’s program often breaks stories long before the mainstream media does. Is SETI holding back on us, or is someone trying to sully Greer’s name? Isn’t this the part where the blogosphere stands up and asks insider(s) to step forward and spill the beans… if there are really any beans to spill?

I really want to believe – I really do. But wat concerns me most about these fringe discoveries is that they often come accompanied with an agenda – that is, you have to “buy the DVD” or “come to the conference.” Are these people spreading valid information – or selling snake oil? If they really want us to listen, these experts must find another way to generate revenue! Oh, and… hire real Web designers.
