The source was a CIA article from 2001, with no follow-up success or verification; a lot like cold fusion.

If consistency is the hobgoblin of small minds, then scientists must have really small minds, because they keep looking for consistencies. And in this case, there don't seem to be any. Lots of things can happen once by sheer coincidence. So repeatability is key.

And I think if they could use it reliably and successfully, we wouldn't have gone with massive spying, data-capture on everyone, AI because a human mind can't make sense of it all, and so on. We'd just have remote readers sussing things out.

Anyway, I put this in my bin of 'needs evidence to be accepted'.

BTW, it's not that I haven't had my own experiences of having blinding knowledge of things I couldn't ordinarily know. But I put those to simply having my intuitive side (which takes a severe nearly 100% back seat to my logical/reductionist side) shouting at me in a way I finally couldn't ignore.

It didn't read that way. Thanks for clarifying.

This doesn't seem to be the study I am looking for, but please explain the sentient plant.



The one I'm looking for is the plant that goes bonkers when a human enters the room who previously chopped the nearby plant with the meat cleaver he holds. Wjem the same person enters without the cleaver, same reaction from the plant. When a different person enters with the cleaver, same reaction. When any other person enters the room without the cleaver, no reaction.

Can anybody access this one?

I can access that on my phone, but the computer I'm using today is wonky and won't allow me to view.

Out of an entire continent, specifying a coordinate set for a specific object. Coincidence.
Verifying data or information with satellites or spying is a side matter, and does not invalidate the fact that a specific set of coordinates was obtained accurately and correctly in short order.

You don't consider President Carter to be an adequate source of validation?



And view the demonstration with the Suspect Zero DVD. Explain it. The "repeatability" was so certain that it was scheduled as a demonstration. You tellme if it worked, or if there was any doubt. The director seems to get what he needed - even though I believe he stated he was not a believer.

I've read too many debunking efforts to think that stories - even published stories - are accurate.

I remember one, supposedly a near death experience where the guy almost died in a hospital room and supposedly found himself floating out of the window, where he saw a pair of sneakers on a ledge, and accurately described them.

Except that there never were any sneakers on the ledge that anyone attested to. No sneakers removed by maintenance, no sneakers noticed by any hospital staff, or visitors ... and so on. It was quite a lengthy, thorough debunking.

If there's something I want to post, I usually research it a bit, and I always look for solid evidence.

Anyway, I briefly tried to vet your sources. Most links to 'source' went to a blank page or 404 error. A few went to 'The Intelligencer' which is NOT a government publication of its results. And so on.

I didn't find any links to original government data or papers for any specific incidents. So, yanno, I'll consider it if you can find original sources. But I'm not going to spend more time than I have, trying to find original information.
