That's neat! In the video does Mr. Dolan mention what pseudonym he goes by? I'd like to add him to my friends list so I can easily follow his threads. Assuming, of course, he doesn't just lurk.

It's here, I just googled project PROVE and it turned up : keyholepublishing.com...
And there's a note from Dolan here : keyholepublishing.com...edit on 25-2-2012 by robhines because: added link
To his great credit, Jeff was certainly no "wide eyed gullible believer" regarding space anomalies

Thanks!

I'm not in agreement with Dolan over this, as you may suspect!
This activity was helpful to Jeff's health, and kept him busy and feeling productive, so on that basis there's no reason to criticize.
but in terms of it being a useful contribution to ufology, don't be over-generous. Jeff was largely clueless about spaceflight fundamentals and used his prodigious and confident imagination to weave wonderful myths out of ordinary TV scenes.

Can't argue with the fact that Jeff wasn't a "space" expert or anything, but even you yourself have to admit that there is some interesting and unexplained footage in there

I've had a chance to view more of the video and reached the part where he endorses the space UFO video interpretations of the late Jeff Challender. Dolan enthusiastically backs 'Project PROVE' and states he has attached all of Challender's former website materials to his own home page.
But I can't find where -- can anybody help? I've also emailed Dolan asking for the link, so far no reply.

Or do you have examples of someone flapping their gums to an ignorant audience that lacks the ability to apply critical thought when someone just says anything they want to hear.....further more, does he actually shed light on anything that even a trained monkey doesn't already know or is able to look up on the internet in under 10 seconds would know?
When the UFO/Aliens subject is no longer filled with the hollow minds of those that allow morons like Dolan to entertain them, then maybe we will start getting somewhere.
But yeah, he wrote a couple of books on the subject, and can use big words, so I see how people drool over him, but as soon as you look even a little into the stuff, you realize it is hollow crap, fodder for the ignorant minds that do nothing for the subject other than to ensure we can't ever be taken seriously.

Subject: WOW---It's True Folks!!!!!
Hi Folks,
Bill Bimson is correct! NASA has altered the orbit of ISSy, and we are
likely the only members of the public aware of it. I just looked at J-Track,
and it is a fact the orbit has changed. But not to a parking orbit bringing
her over Afghanistan each pass. Nooooo. What has changed is the inclination
of the orbit. By a LOT!! It was 51.6 degrees from the equator, and now it is
closer to 70 degrees. It used to be that ISSy NEVER got farther north than
London in the UK, or just above the Canadian border in North America. But now
she is passing north of Scotland, and over Alaska in North America, on her
journey around our planet. I don't know how they did this, but it has been
done! See J-Track folder in the files section.
The why of this is, of course, obvious. SURVEILLANCE!! The further north
your orbit takes you, the better coverage you have of the surface of the Earth
on a daily basis.
We have an exclusive here, folks.
Bill, you should be proud of yourself!
Jeff

Thanks -- I'm looking around there now for the discussion section where there was a lively debate over Jeff's fantastical misinterpretations....
Speaking of fantastical misinterpretations, anybody have any heartburn over Dolan's comment here:
[ex[
As an adult, after health issues took their toll, Jeff spent nearly all of his time acquiring and downloading video of NASA missions. Later these expanded to missions of the European Space Station,

Dolan wrote a history of the subject based on real information that wasn't speculation or made up. What is so hollow about that? There are plenty of real reports with real information from real people in high positions. I hope you're not going to tell me all of these people, some with irrefutable radar and visual information etc., were delusional.
There are plenty of things in this world that haven't been proven to your satisfaction but are indeed accepted as fact among the general population and according to science. There is a mountain of evidence that strongly supports the idea that people are coming here from elsewhere. It isn't hard to find or process...

MainLineThis says it as it is and as I've also said. Dolan isn't a real researcher, he is a compiler. He repeats tons of hearsay recorded and archived by others. There is nothing wrong with that as every popular author has done the same thing all working from the same sources and each successive author dependent on others' work.
It's people such Lawrence Fawcett and Barry J. Greenwood ("CLEAR INTENT: the government coverup of the UFO experience ) and many others who were there at the beginning who made it possible for people such as Dolan to achieve the fame heights he has.
And you say "There is a mountain of evidence that strongly supports the idea that people are coming here from elsewhere." If there was the mystery wouldn't be so mysterious! There are no "people" and if your life depended on it you couldn't provide one iota of evidence for them "people". All we have are unexplainable UFOs and it's always been so with no one any closer to an explanation.

Needless to say, none of this is true.

Indeed.
Anyone who does some research into the physics of orbits can see that changing the orbital inclination from 51.6 degrees to 70 degrees is ludicrous.....unless there is a magic Star Trek-style Impulse Engine mounted on the ISS that they didn't tell us about!

Quick point to make, these things don't need rockets to reach space and they're also pretty cheap by all accounts, making repeatable missions easy.

I see you as a skeptic who once hard evidence (and only hard evidence) is personally presented to you, will go from being a so-called skeptic to an "acknowledger". You probably will never see yourself as a believer because you really don't believe in anything much. Only hard evidence will move you to acknowledging that things exist.
Regarding Dolan, he is a great researcher and provides data in a well informed manner, as does Leslie Kean. The difference is Dolan writes with a little more subjectivity and seems to have more information at his disposal than Kean.
Personally, I think Dolan needs to work more diligently on his fan mail responses and cover big-name UFO events (Colares, Varginha, etc), but who am I to complain? Overall I think both Dolan and Kean provide great service to our community and I enjoy reading their work.
Hope you at least have an experience where you see a UFO or two that will alter your thinking process, but I do respect your views on things.
