Psychics Say Apollo 16 Astronauts Found Alien Ship 285
astroengine writes "A group called Transception Incorporated, self-described as an Austin, Texas-based psychic R&D operation, sent a letter (PDF) to NASA Administrator Charles Bolden that nominates the Apollo 16 crew for the Congressional Space Medal of Honor. Why? Well, a variety of 'shipwreck elements' on the Moon — described as 'structures, people/aliens, biological technology, and their plight' — were reportedly 'seen' through remote viewing (PDF) by six experts at Transception. These 'elements' can be seen, along with Apollo 16 moonwalkers John Young and Charles Duke, in photographs during that famous mission, obviously making this the first ever alien encounter."

I've been here for about a decade and a half and I'm done. I do not come here to read about fucking psychics and lately I get real news in popular press before it hits this site. This place was always a nasty one, full of trolls well entrenched along with worthwhile posters, but the news use to be quality and you could get a decent conversation. Now I'd be better off reading the fucking enquirer. Nice knowing you slashdot, don't let the door hit your arse on the way out.

It's because we don't have a mechanism to punish or ban people who vote up stories like this.

My favorite like about the bankruptcy of The Psychic Friends Network .. They didn't see it coming.
I would wonder how physics would see something .. physics explain how something is seen: photons launched from star (at C), wavelengths of light, optic receptors, transmission of electrical signals, etc.
Remote Viewing though ... cough ... If I could do that I'd be looking for gold or diamonds, not space junk on the Moon.

I find it surprising how many mod points are being used to down mod those of us who are complaining about this shit, yet so few mod points up modding comments.
Why I wonder why that is?

TRANSCEPTION INCORPORATED is a pioneer in the new frontier of mind itself, founded on the premise that (?foreign?) technology can be transferred lawfully from the state of nature from any place in the Universe, in time or space, using a team of highly trained/skilled Controlled Remote Viewers (CRVers). At least by way of the Recommendation for Nomination for the Congressional Space Medal of Honor, submitted to the NASA Administrator on December 15, 2011, TRANSCEPTION has shown that technology can be transferred lawfully from the state of nature from any place in the Universe, in time or space, using a team of highly trained/skilled Controlled Remote Viewers. In sum, TRANSCEPTION INCORPORATED is an R&D company specializing in the exploitation of CRV and other methods to lawfully extract technology from the state of nature as a means for building, licensing, and enforcing its intellectual property (IP) portfolio of patents and copyrights.
So... "psychic" patent trolls...

Psychics: people who make stuff up.
Physicists: people who go to university for a long time get degrees, then make stuff up and sometime make stuff work (like rockets and lasers).
Because the descriptions are close, I will let it slide this time, but stop green-lighting when you are drunk. Thank you.

I suspect the market price for aliens space junk is far higher than for mere gold or diamonds.
