January 6, 1992, _Time_ page 67:

#9 ... No, the crop circles -- or at least some of them -- were the
handiwork of a pair of elderly British landscape painters who
engineered the elaborate hoax (with string and planks) 'for a bit of
a laugh.' It was a victory of skeptical scientific inquiry over tabloid
headlines.

Hardly! It has been how long since cerealogists started debunking
the alleged hoax? Time called the exposure of hoax their #9 best
science story of 1991! What a travesty! The allegement of the hoax
is hardly a victory of 'skeptical scientific inquiry.' Time has
fallen prey to tabloids alone on this one. There is no respect of
science here. It is difficult to understand why Time would not
follow up Doug and Dave beyond believing them face value. A researcher
needs to correct them.

Hi Don,

Thanks for info and book name.  I copied it and will see if I can find
it.

I don't see how anyone can impose any New World Order.  Things are so
messed up.  Lots of violence and racial tension everywhere.
Unemployment.  Drugs.  Babies having babies.  As a teacher, I see it
all, and it's depressing.

I think (and I am not recommending it) that the only way to impose such
NWO would be thru severe laws and penalties.  It would have to be
ruthless (such as limiting family size by law) and a lot of freedoms
would be lost.   At what point will all our freedoms go?  We are trying
to banish drugs, but when might laws be imposed on other addictions?
For example, would I be told someday that I could not buy Twinkies
because I'm a bit chunky?  Would I be arrested?  Have to step on the
scales first?  Alcohol and tobacco are just as harmful as drugs.  Will
those pleasures be outlawed?

Opps, gotta stop as the 2 mim bell rang.
TTYL,

Linda

Subject: Abduction Video
Date: 19 Jan 92 13:53:01 GMT


 I just picked up my copy of the new CUFOS video "Alien Abductions"
 and must tell you, Mark Rodeghier was not hyperbolizing one bit
 when he said it was good. Undersell would be more like it. It's
 extremely well done and delineates the abduction phenomenon in an
 objective, dispassionate manner. This enigmatic event is analyzed
 in both physical and psychological terms, allowing the viewer to
 contemplate the foundations and foibles of either possibility.

 It contains an interesting amalgam of archival footage and
 contemporary discussion with such notables as Bud Hopkins,
 John Mack, Walter Webb, Eddie Bullard, Michael Swords, Betty Hill,
 John Carpenter, Jerry Clark, George Eberhart, and, last but not
 least, Mark Rodeghier. As the credits rolled by, I also noticed a
 few "locals" such as Don Ecker, Jim Speiser, and Vicki Cooper. My
 hat's off to all of you. A job well done!

 The film runs a full 90 minutes, video/audio (stereo) quality is
 superb, great graphics and titling, and there are NO commercial
 interruptions, something I've found commonplace in tapes of this
 genre. I don't mean to sound like an advertisement myself, but
 the price is reasonable also. $23.00 (including postage and
 handling).

 It's currently available in VHS standard format, but copies will
 be obtainable shortly in PAL, for those of you listening in
 countries utilizing that standard.

Date: 19 Jan 92 18:34:17 GMT

From: David Elmore Coleman <[e-mail]>


I think an important point to make is that the boomerang UFO of the
Hudson Valley was seen in Arizona in 1980 or 1981. Football field size,
boomerang shape, sent a beam around the smokestacks of a factory,
hovered, etc. 100 members of a high school band and its director saw it
a while after three or five workers at the factory gazed at it. I remember
there isn't one detail except for scooping water out of reservoirs that
the Arizona boomerang and the Hudson Valley one did not have in common.
1980/81 is long before anyone in the public really knew about the
Stealth, so unless you want to argue Jungian collective conscious pulling
the boomerang out of our future collective conscious, there is no case
for casting suspicion on the 'stealthiness' of the Hudson Valley UFOs.

Date: 19 Jan 92 18:34:41 GMT

From: David Elmore Coleman <[e-mail]>


 Alright, someone mentioned something about an 11:11 door...
This is the third time I have heard of this. Some one or entity 'Solara'
posted some galactic paragraphs on this business, that disagree with
all known sciences, philosophies, contactee movements, New Age ideas, etc.
In otherwords -- yet another belief system -- and wishy washy as usual with
no concrete things to say. I can't remember if this was on Paranet,
alt.paranormal or talk.religion.newage.
 Then, I try to catch up on news with John H. Bielinski, MUFON
sectional director/field investigator back in New Haven County, CT.
He begins to detail the 11:11 door as another one of a series of
harmonic convergences, etc, and how he, his sister, and the group are
going to perform ceremonies around the day 1-11-91. The significance of
the day is the number of the day, the eleventh -- oh how amusing is
numerology!
 Is there anything other than 'Solara''s channeled message that
supports an '11:11 door,' or are some other [people] advocating it, or
what? Someone on Paranet said, 'Only XX number days until the 11:11 door!'

Barry Fell wrote a book _America B.C_ which details all sorts of enigmatic
finds in the Americas (Hebrew script and the usual.) Recently, and
simultaneously, Kenneth L Feder and Stephen Williams separately wrote
books skeptical of these types of claims in North America specifically.
This is a subject I am not generally interested -- Phoenicians and Hebrews --
but one author referenced Fell's claim that in the script of the Algonquian
indians of Canada, 2000+ symbols are identical with known Egyptian
hieroglyphs. I am interested what Feder, Williams, or other skeptics or
academics have to say of this claim *in particular*. Does anyone have any
information?

You are of course correct about Xmas in Russia, approx. 60% of the
Russian people are atheist, and those that do celebrate Xmas, do so
privately. Therefore, the probability of Vladimir associating the
event with Xmas, or Xmas eve, does seem remote. See how agreeable
I am?

However, a flight plan must have been filed with Chelyabinsk air
field, from which the exact date should have been easily
retrievable. Regardless, Vladimir must have discussed the event
with several individuals upon landing, one of whom must have
remembered the exact date. BTW David, I am pro-UFO, but I like to
resolve obvious inconsistencies prior to the hard-core skeptics
having a go at it.

Absolutely, and understandably so... being caught up in the thrill
of the moment, but you're not drawing a valid analogy here David.
Vladimir wrote a most detailed account of his experience, including
weather conditions, time, fluctuations in altitude and airspeed,
bank angles of his L-29, etc. Isn't the *first* detail of a such a
report *always* the date of occurrence?

DEC> I hope this clears away your suspicions.

Unfortunately, it does not. I am hoping that there is convincing
justification for this uncertain date, but I have yet to hear it.

Take care,

Subject: Delphos, Deuterium, pulasar planets
Date: 20 Jan 92 14:31:39 GMT

From: [e-mail] (John H. Chalmers Jr.)

Jim:   Thanks for the complimentary words!  I don't really presume
to have the final word on the Delphos case. Admittedly, I am
doing armchair chemistry, but I have done considerable research
on fat metabolism and (bio-) chemiluminescence. (It's not often
that any of my formal training is useful in this field.)
The points you raised about the soil chemistry, while seemingly
unusual and novel, don't necessarily imply anything paranormal
in my opinion.
 Since the Delphos case dates to 1972, there might lead
in the soil if the ring were due to a gasoline spill. Klass
investigated the site and claimed that a galvanized iron
stock feeder or watering device had been situated on the site and
that very significant amounts of zinc were found in the soil, I
presume, as zinc oxide, which is fairly hydrophobic.
  Chemiluminescence, however, is a very widespread
phenomenon and many organic chemicals, especially phenols,
give off low levels of light when oxidized.  I once tested a sample
of our lab coffee with a little Clorox as the oxidant and it 'pinned
the meter' on our luminometer.
 I may request a photocopy of Faruk's article from you if it is
not too long.

Jim and Linda: I hate to be wholly on the catabolic side of
paranormal research and investigations but I recall seeing a
statement this week (in Nature?) that the claim of planets orbiting
a pulsar had been retracted by the investigator. Apparently, a
component of the earth's orbital motion had been neglected in the
data processing and this accounted for the observed motion of
the pulsar. The effect is a subtle one and was overlooked because
it is usually unimportant in this kind of study.
 On the other hand, a more plausible mechanism for planets
surviving a supernova explosion of their star was discussed. The
metallic core of a Jupiter-sized planet might survive and the energy
released by decompressing the core when the atmosphere ablated
might help circularize the orbit afterwards.

Pete Porro:  Deuterium (D) is the element; Deuterium Oxide (D2O) is
'heavy water.'  Although used as a moderator and coolant in some
reactors, D2O is also used in chemical and biological research, as
are other deuterium compounds.
 As an element, Deuterium usually occurs as D2, analogous to
molecular Hydrogen, H2, and comparably inflammable and explosive
when mixed in the right proportions with air or O2. The bare nucleus
is called a deuteron and consists of a proton and a neutron.
Occasionally, ordinary hydrogen is called 'protium,' .
 Tritium is the third hydrogen isotope, has a nucleus called a
'triton' with a proton and 2 neutrons, decays radioactively with a
half-life of about 12 years into Helium 3 (two protons and 1 neutron),
has just about the weakest beta radiation of any radioactive element,
and  is used as a biochemical label in reseach as well as in nuclear
applications.

Hi Pete,
        The package arrived safely -- what a lot of neat stuff in
it!!! Thanks so much for sending it!  I haven't read all of it yet
but will today (been finishing a job so no extra time).  Looks very
'appetizing'.
        I know what you mean about self-employment -- the perqs and
benefits are sure a lot different than those given to union workers
and "normal" employees (and we who are self-employed are hardly
normal!<g>)  Three days off a year, you said...uh huh, know what you
mean. You probably spend part of that time figuring out the workload
for when you "go back to work" too.  Well, at least you don't have
to punch a time-clock (good thing too, or you'd be sick when you saw
how many hours you put in!)   ;-)
        Um, did I miss something there -- about the watching
football and time to read USA Today?  I know a lot of this season's
games were dull, but ...  It's online on a couple of local BBS here,
which is a big time (and $$) saver...can take a quick check for
topics, special things you're following, and then if you want to get
the whole story or more info, you can get the copy at the library.
        Is there something I could send to you in return for the
super pkg of goodies?
        Thanks again -- and don't let your boss drive you too hard!

Thanks for the info on Tristan Jones' new book.  I'll ask for it.
Retired and living in Thailand?  How odd.  Not that it's odd to be
retired or to be living in Thailand, but it just didn't sound like
Jones.  I figured he'd one day disappear at sea, being unable to
quit sailing...sort of sail off into forever... or else go to live
at the sailor's home he wrote of once, the place where everyone's
addressed as Captain and they can all be as curmudgeonly as they
like and tell their stories and smoke their stogies and so on.  What
took his leg, do you know?  Must've been a terrible blow to him.
You remember him describing that in the one book -- the first leg, I
mean -- it didn't ever say exactly what went wrong, why the leg had
to go.  Perhaps that is just his way, not wanting to go into great
detail about personal problems, but I hope it's not some recurring
disease...  Must be very hard on him being land-bound now.  I can
see where he'd be a great inspiration and practical force for help
in dealing with handicapped kids.  Probably does himself and them a
lot of good that way, too.  I would imagine he's still involved in
seacraft designing at the same time -- had such good ideas it'd be a
shame to stop.
I really am glad to know this news.  If you come across anything
else about him, I'd appreciate a relay.  BTW, you wouldn't know an
address for him would you?
Thanks, again, for the info.  Many thanks.

Hi John,
        Ah yes, you're right, we were straying from the echo topic.
I'm sorry...got carried away (with your message and Pete's latest
telling what'd happened to Tristan Jones lately.) Will go back to
the topic.
        The Independent, the paper which was cited as the source of
this Amazon Discovery story, is available online on Compuserve, but
it'd run about $11 to get the item, so, with January=pinched budget,
I'm not going to follow that one right now.  It's not available at
my local library, but might turn up on one of the library online
features somewhere (I hope).  Anyway, if I can discover anything
more about it, I'll post that later on.
        There's a local professor here teaching a course in
"Fantastic Archaeology" which includes Atlantis, Lemuria, etc.
Might be worth a check there to see if he's come across this, since
it connects the Atlantis believers theories (the Donnelly/Muck line,
that is) and some believe that is connected to the UFO origins of
Celtic or pre=Celtic people.

Newspaper article from the Arizona Republic.  January 17, 1992-Page A-11

The Associated Press
Pasadena, Calif.-NASA will move radio and computer equipment to the Mojave
Desert next week to search space for signs of alien civilizations, a scientist
said Thursday.
"I strongly believe (that) someday, we will make contact with other
civilizations" through radio signals, said Michael Klein, manager of the Jet
Propulsion Laboratory's portion of the search for extraterrestrial intelligence.
"Circumstantial evidence suggests countless Earth-like planets exist in our
galaxy," Klein said.
"We hope someday we'll detect the existence of other intelligent civilizations
from those planets."
The National Aeronautics and Space Administration's 10-year, $100 million
search will be the most extensive ever conducted for signs of intelligent
extraterrestrial life.
The effort is directed by the agency's Pasadena laboratory and its Ames
Research Center in Mountain View, Calif.
The equipment will search the heavens for radio signals within the Milky Way
galaxy and possible in other galaxies.
The search will start formally on Columbus Day, the Oct. 12 holiday
commemorating Christopher Columbus' arrival in the Americas in 1492.
The holiday was picked because "it celebrates the spirit of exploration,"
Klein said.
Scientists will use sophisticated radio-signal analyzers and giant dish
antennas at Goldstone, Calif., at the Cornell University-National Science
Foundation Arecibo Observatory in Puerto Rico and, by 1996, at Canberra,
Australia.  The National Radio Astronomy Observatory in Greenbank, W. Va.,
also will participate.
Klein said laboratory engineers and scientists will start next week to set up a
radio-signal analyzer, computers and other equipment at NASA's Deep Space
Network tracking station at Goldstone, near Barstow and about 85 miles
northeast of Los Angeles.
More than 50 searches for extraterrestrial intelligence have been conducted
since 1960.
The Pasadena-based Planetary Society, an international group of
space-exploration advocates, now conducts the most sensitive search for alien
radio signals.
NASA's search will be more extensive because it will search the sky for a much
wider range of radio frequencies, and will conduct a highly sensitive search
for radio signals from any planets that may exist around roughly 1,000 sunlike
stars within 100 light-years, or 588 trillion miles, of Earth.

(Thought we were out of the business.)  Could this be the right time to
concentrate efforts to get Freedom of Information to cut loose with the
information that has been ignored or denied these many years?

I will wait for wiser heads than mine to prevail.  Let's get together and
maybe this time cooperatate instead of going off on a thousand tangents and
duplicate efforts.  Thanks for listening.
Best wishes to all.

 Hi Pete,

 A bit more information on the Spagyrik Laboratory crop circle
 'energy' study you asked about earlier...

 From: _Skeptical Inquirer_ Vol. 16, No. 2, 1992, pp 136-149,
 "The Crop Circle Phenomenon - An Investigative Report by Joe
 Nickel and John F. Fischer; published by CSICOP, Box 703, Buffalo,
 NY, 14226-0703 @ $25.00/yr.

 Nickel and Fischer write: "One claim is that tests of grain from
 crop circles showed a significant difference in 'energy levels'
 from that in non-crop-circle areas. In fact, a prominent
 cerealogist, the Earl of Haddington, submitted 'blind' samples for
 testing to the Spagyrik Laboratory after receiving confirmation
 from its director that it could indeed detect the different
 'energy levels'. But in a letter to 'The Cerealogist' Haddington
 reported: 'Days, weeks passed, months passed, with phone calls at
 regular intervals always given the same reply. 'We will put it
 [the report of the results] in the post tomorrow.' After six
 months, Haddington concluded: 'When they are not told which sample
 came from a crop circle and which from a heap of grain in my back
 yard, they are either unable or unwilling to give a result.'

 Haddington's complete statement can be found in 'The Cerealogist',
 (spring 1991).

 Take care,

 -- Sheldon---
