CSICon and Tom Flynn’s Probing

Tom Flynn is the executive director of the Council for Secular Humanism and, apparently, a frequent flyer. Not like that. Allow this highly bizarre video explain everything:

Rebecca Watson

Rebecca is a writer, speaker, YouTube personality, and unrepentant science nerd. In addition to founding and continuing to run Skepchick, she hosts Quiz-o-Tron, a monthly science-themed quiz show and podcast that pits comedians against nerds. There is an asteroid named in her honor.

  1. I really have to ask how this anal probing thing got started, it’s kind of bizarre

    1. I probed for answer and found that there’s actually a Wikipedia entry on this. It says that the UFO probe stories started with the well-known UFO book “Communion” by Whitley Streiber – 1987:

      “There were clothes strewn apart, and two of the stocky ones drew my legs apart. The next thing I knew I was being shown an enormous and extremely ugly object, grey and scaly, with a sort of network of wires on the end. It was at least a foot long, narrow, and triangular in structure. They inserted the thing into my rectum. It seemed to swarm into me as if it had a life of its own. Apparently, its purpose was to take samples, possibly of fecal matter, but at the same time I had the impression I was being raped and for the first time I felt anger.”

      But I prefer this account:
