Date: 6 May 90 07:02:30 GMT According to the Associated Press, Yoshiro Nakamatsu, who invented the floppy disk, has unveiled an engine that runs ON WATER ALONE at an inventor's convention near Pittsburgh. I'd like to hear comments on the possibility of this. We've certainly heard free energy stories before, but this is happening here and now. Does anyone know anything about how this engine supposedly runs? -------------------------------------------------------------------- From: paranet!p0.f102.n268.z1.FIDONET.ORG!Paul.Faeder Subject: Re: Magnetic grid?

Could be Jim, I honestly don't know. I was thinking back to the days of elementary school science and the experiment consisting of a bar magnet, a piece of paper and iron filings. When the filings are sprinkled on the paper and the paper is tapped, the filings moved and sort-of formed lines. Whether or not these lines are fixed in place or changable as in isobar lines I don't know. If they are fixed, or if there are strong/weak spots of magnetism, I would think there would be a map showing these locations ('course I could be wrong. Wouldn't be the first time!) -- Paul Faeder - via FidoNet node 1:209/722 UUCP: !scicom!paranet!User_Name INTERNET: Paul.Faeder@p0.f102.n268.z1.FIDONET.ORG -------------------------------------------------------------------- From: paranet!p0.f102.n268.z1.FIDONET.ORG!Paul.Faeder Subject: Magnetic grid?

They seem to come to an area like the Hudson Valley, Gulf Breeze, Fyffe Alabama; stay around for a while and then go away. What is in these areas that are of interest to the UFOnauts? Whatever (or whoever) they are, they seem to have purpose but what is the purpose?

Glad to see you back on line again and hope all is well with you and yours. Back on 03/08/90, I sent you a T-120 and a check to cover handling for a copy of the original 9 segments of the Lazar interview on KLAS. This is about the same time you were in process of moving to Las Vegas and I'm wondering if you ever received this package or if it got lost in the cross-country shuffle. (The check has not yet been returned to my bank). If you haven't gotten it yet, please let me know and I'll have my bank put a stop-payment on it. I would still like to see this material and would also like to impose upon you for a copy of the latest material when it becomes available, just let me know what I should do from this end.

My family and I stayed there for a week a few years ago; it was great! The only problem was that there was only one elevator to serve all the floors of the hotel, and the waits were long at times. My recommendation is, get a room on the second floor.... But, by this time they may have installed another elevator.... -- Ea Richards - via FidoNet node 1:209/722 UUCP: !scicom!paranet!User_Name INTERNET: Ea.Richards@f414.n154.z1.FIDONET.ORG -------------------------------------------------------------------- From: paranet!f414.n154.z1.FIDONET.ORG!Ea.Richards Subject: Re: KNAPP/LAZAR Date: 3 May 90 15:41:25 GMT Not to pick nits concerning Lazar's so-called arrest on charges dealing with prostitution, isn't prostitution legal in Nevada?

First of all, a site inspection revealed that tree isn't even there (no stump, no hole, nada). That indicates some kind of double exposure. Second, remember the sequence where the UFO winks out at one point, and "jumps" across the frame to another location? Do you remember how the ambient lighting in the frame became just a touch darker when the UFO reappeared? Doesn't that indicate to you that the sun went behind a cloud WHILE THE CAMERA WAS TURNED OFF? There's a whole slew of other evidence as well. But really, how much evidence do you need? A bunch of "carved" (they were actually crafted in detail) models is enough for me.

Oh, sure, IF it was convenient and not too expensive. I just wouldn't go to all the trouble discussed before. But then, if they were advanced enough, maybe it wouldn't be so much trouble. OK, point taken.

Believe me, I'd love to think otherwise, but from my experience with mainstream journalists, this is all a product of sweeps month. I don't think George Knapp is to blame, I'm sure he'd love to do these stories as often as possible, but I'm also sure he knows he could NEVER run a serious feature on UFOs at any time other than February, May and November. -- Jim Speiser - via FidoNet node 1:209/722 UUCP: !scicom!paranet!User_Name INTERNET: Jim.Speiser@f37.n114.z1.FIDONET.ORG -------------------------------------------------------------------- From: paranet!f37.n114.z1.FIDONET.ORG!Jim.Speiser Subject: Magnetic grid?

The more obvious ones, like nuclear facilities and power lines, are well-known and discussed often. But one interesting "UFO Attractor" is, of all things, limestone quarries. I'm aware of at least three separate sightings at limestone quarries. Matter of fact, I think Bryon Smith put me onto one.

First of all, very little intelligence is found on the democrat portion of the committee, which makes the phrase a contradiction in terms. Secondly, anyone who believes much of what Woodward writes is only fooling himself with Woodward's help. I'd believe Nostradamus before I'd believe Woodward, and I'm not very good in Latin or French. Come to think of it, I'd believe the supermarket sheets before Woodward. At least the UFO stories are interesting; Woodward is a liberal hack. -- Ea Richards - via FidoNet node 1:209/722 UUCP: !scicom!paranet!User_Name INTERNET: Ea.Richards@f414.n154.z1.FIDONET.ORG -------------------------------------------------------------------- From: paranet!f414.n154.z1.FIDONET.ORG!Don.Allen Subject: Re: UFO'S AND THE CIA Date: 5 May 90 06:47:28 GMT EAR>Secondly, anyone who believes much of what Woodward writes is only EAR>fooling himself with Woodward's help. Well,I can certainly tell that you spend alot of time reading ..Hate to disappoint you,but you're WRONG on all but the very first sentence of your response. Do some homework,then come back and debate with me. Give specifics. Better yet, goto your local library and check out the book for yourself and read it. If you haven't read it, then how can you make such a critique? BTW, "All the President's Men" was quite an expose' on Watergate. Also,if you HAD read the book I mentioned in my post then you would have *known* that Woodward had several personal interviews with Bill Casey, but I guess you "automagically" knew that didn't you? The post is directed towards someone who has HAD former intelligence background and who could answer the questions I posed. I was hoping that someone like Robert Klinn or Bill English would respond,,but gee...I keep forgetting this is the FIDO echo :_) -- Don Allen - via FidoNet node 1:209/722 UUCP: !scicom!paranet!User_Name INTERNET: Don.Allen@f414.n154.z1.FIDONET.ORG -------------------------------------------------------------------- From: paranet!f26.n123.z1.FIDONET.ORG!Paul.Carr Subject: Re: Magnetic grid?

Date: 5 May 90 19:41:42 GMT I, myself, have wondered about whether or not UFO sightings occur more around certain areas than others. Another thing I've noticed, while doing some research back to 1947, is that most UFO sightings seem to occur during the summer months rather than during the winter. As soon as I get through with my research, I see if there seems to be a pattern. Also, I don't know a lot about physics, but I was wondering. Does the air temperature affect magnetic lines of force?
