[extropy-chat] UFOs hoaxes and Occam's razor. (was NSA Disclosures)

[Eliezer S. Yudkowsky]

FYI:  My father pulled off at least two minor UFO hoaxes, though nothing 
on the scale of Henson's group.  Also, long before the days of laser 
pointers, when a laser meant at least a medium-sized box, Mom and Dad 
used to put a mysterious glowing red dot on the pavement that would 
follow people around.  (Mom and Dad being several blocks away, aiming 
and watching using binoculars.)
