CARP ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- From: alex@atherton.com (Alex Leavens) Subject: Paranet Newsletter 265 Date: 16 Jul 90 18:07:48 GMT Ok, people, I've got one for you. It's time to play Name That Object! (If anyone can...) Date: Last Sunday (July 8) Time: 2:30 pm My wife and I were in the park, playing with our two children; we were taking a break, and laying back in the grass, when I noticed what appeared to be a star, almost straight overhead. It was very bright (approximately as bright as a very bright star in the night sky), and was completely stationary. The sky was clear, with no clouds, although if you looked _very_ closely, you could see that there was a little 'haze' fairly high up. Anyway, this bright object just sat there for the next 10 minutes, without moving. I pointed it out to my wife, who also watched it for this time. During the time we viewed it, its magnitude would slowly change, as if someone was 'adjusting' the brightness with a potentiometer. This variation was quite smooth; it wasn't the sort of 'twinkling' that you expect from atmospheric interference. The object varied in brightness, up and down, for the 10 minutes that we watched it, then simply faded out and disappeared. During the time that we watched it, I moved around on the ground to get things lined up with it to make sure it wasn't moving; I aligned with a series of tree leaves and branches, and the object remained perfectly stationary as far as I could tell. Anybody know what it was? A satellite, maybe? |-------------------------------------------------------------------------| |--alex | alex@Atherton.COM | Caution!

That is why I make fun about GB's existance. We all did. We always knew GB needed a shot in the arm. Besides the 'million-dollar homes' next to dime-storefront properties...it looks like they found their niche (naturally right after I left). :-) That fact that you include the well-known Naval training station next to Warrington is somewhat interesting for another reason.

No, I think I understand what Jim's saying. If a *big* case (Ed's) is conjured up, generates controversy etc, then may later be proven to be a hoax, all the other sightings are forgotten. The general public says, "Gulf Breeze....a hoax." See what I mean?

Wow, another ragman, or as we were called over at the Florida big bend, a blowboater! I lived on my boat from about '79 through '88. The best years.... Anyway, you'd need to get specific details from Rex Salisberry. What he told me was that an old fisherman (shrimper, probably) called him after the red-light sightings had been publicized and made a little fun of the investigators. Rex said that the fisherman said the investigators shouldn't get excited about the lights as if they were something new, because they'd been seen for decades. jbh -- John Hicks - via FidoNet node 1:30163/0 UUCP: !scicom!paranet!User_Name INTERNET: John.Hicks@f29.n363.z1.FIDONET.ORG -------------------------------------------------------------------- From: Don.Allen@f29.n363.z1.FIDONET.ORG (Don Allen) Subject: Re: more stuff..

One part of the document alleges the Chinese are arming the Middle East radicals with nuclear and biological weapons. From recent reports in the press it seems that some of these countries do indeed possess chemical and biological weapons, but is there any strong evidence of anyone besides Israel actually having the bomb? And does anyone know just how much the Chinese have given in military aid and to whom? I've heard some of the rockets Iraq has are from China, but that's just something I heard in passing and I'm not sure if that's the case. And finally, from some files I've read on CIS, there are allegations that the alien presence may not be completely neutral.
