I've known this to happen with a 35mm still camera with a motor drive on it. When the motor drive was left to run it pulled the film through the camera fast enough to build up static electrical charge, which then sparked inside the camera. Since the spark is *light*, it registered on the film. (in this case it looked like green lightning on the photo). + Steve Rose - via FidoNet node 1:310/8 + Here's another excercise...if you can leave the shutter open on your still + camera...aim it at a lampost at night and try to write your name by making + 'script' movements of the letters holding the camera in the air.

Way to go! The weight of the evidence, and the amount of evidence -- including senior Belgian & NATO military personnel, the Belgian gendarmerie and citizen witnesses was practically overwhelming. So were the six separate videos of the things (there are two, a wing and a disc, and they display a lovely orange glow whenever they accelerate or maneuver rapidly). There was also a concluding interview with Dr. Jesse Marcel Jr. and a commentary on the U.S. government's alleged possession of the Roswell craft and the gov't's ongoing deception/lies about it. The Hard Copy commentary contrasted the U.S. attitude with the obviously forthcoming Belgians. Bravo! Again, congrats to all concerned. Perhaps a letter-writing campaign by ParaNet subscribers/members to the Producers/Story Editors of Hard Copy will keep them focused on the subject. Eh?

Keith: Thank you for _clarifying_ some of John's points. However, I don't perceive that he was so far off the mark to deserve such a pointed rejoinder from you. Perhaps you can explain for us laymen how your clarifications have invalidated John's basic point? And please remember, we're all trying to achieve the same goal here. Wouldn't it be nice if people just tuning in for the first time could see that disagreements can be discussed in a gentlemanly fashion?

I missed this effect, or did they just _say_ they glowed orange? Also, the "hanging disk" video makes me a little nervous. I saw no anomalous movement, except for a slow turning as if it were a medallion hanging on a chain, which is exactly what it resembles. > Again, congrats to all concerned.

If you are serious let's see what kind of response we get to that idea. The address to Hard Copy is; Hard Copy 5555 Melrose Ave. Los Angeles, CA 90038. The producer of that segment was a guy named Dean Vallas. So what does everyone else think?

(in this case it > looked like green lightning on the photo). I wouldn't rule that out as there were a couple with a strong whitish-green color. Yet on most of the frames the light flashes were multicolored and the individual trails followed the principle light source(s). There were numerous "strikes" on each affected frame of film. In addition, the effect was limited to only a *single* frame with absolutely NO crossover to the adjacent frames on either end. I doubt a static discharge would be so particular about its target. :-) Thanks for the comments and thoughts on the matter. -- Steve Rose - via FidoNet node 1:310/8 UUCP: !scicom!paranet!User_Name INTERNET: Steve.Rose@f134.n109.z1.FIDONET.ORG -------------------------------------------------------------------- From: John.Hicks@f29.n363.z1.FIDONET.ORG (John Hicks) Subject: Re: Interview with Jean-Pierre Petit Date: 21 Dec 90 16:28:01 GMT > Ansel Adams is a poor reference for photographic science. True, but he's one that Joe Public can easily find. > (You might get your own facts straight before you criticize > someone else.) I'm no kind of chemist, just a news photographer with about 15 years experience. My point, and I believe you've confirmed it, is that it's quite possible to unintentionally get an image in which a subject that was visually brilliant is rendered as black in the final print. This effect has long been seen in ufo photos, and the explanation may not be as mysterious as some would believe. I've seen quite a few people show 'black' ufo photos and in each case, the lecturer hadn't a clue about how such a thing could be possible without resort to some mysterious force. jbh -- John Hicks - via FidoNet node 1:310/8 UUCP: !scicom!paranet!User_Name INTERNET: John.Hicks@f29.n363.z1.FIDONET.ORG -------------------------------------------------------------------- From: Don.Ecker@f22.n30163.z1.FIDONET.ORG (Don Ecker) Subject: FYI Date: 24 Dec 90 07:37:00 GMT >From the "I'm Not Sure It's Real, But If So........... Dept." I have just been informed by Mr. Dave Aaron, Video Dave of the UFO Clearinghouse of the following. If you have read Vol. 5 No. 6 of UFO Magazine, and have been following the B-2 Bomber vis a vis UFO technology.... well it looks like the good folks at Rockwell, builders of the American B-2 Bomber may SUE the good folks at "STEALTH CONDOM." Yep, that is right, Stealth Condom. . . not Condominium! as in housing, but condom as in a rubber product. It would appear that the folks at Rockwell are taking a proprietary interest in the name of Stealth! As the story is unfolding, a leading Condom manufacturer was going to market a "Stealth Condom" and Rockwell felt the URGE to stop it at the court level! Guess you can't tell where that sneaky little ol' Stealth will turn up. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

Date: 27 Dec 90 06:14:22 GMT From: vanth!jms@amix.commodore.com (Jim Shaffer) Someone posted a very interesting article to the Usenet newsgroup sci.skeptic recently. It was a description of, and plans for, a device called a Resonant Gravity Field Coil that allegedly could do things that sounded like a mix of Lazar and the Philadelphia Experiment. The device was alleged to be a gravity manipulator based on the Biefeld-Brown effect. It used a coil inside of a coil instead of two metal plates. It apparently involved capacitance as well as inductance because the concentric toroidal coils were separated by molten wax, and the description said that the wax was intended as a dielectric and the file had been annotated to say that substituting glycerine for the wax would increase the field strength because glycerine has a higher dielectric constant. The field was called (at least in the annotation) a 'scorch field', which of course is a term courtesy of Mr. Allen(de). The characteristics of this field, and hence the distortions on spacetime within the torus, could be varied by varying the current through the two coils. No specifics were given, unfortunately. Now the bad news. The origin of the file is probably untraceable. The Usenet poster said that he had gotten it from a friend, and the friend had downloaded it from BIX. (BYTE Information Exchange, a commercial BBS with [mostly] a highly technical usership.) No information as to the identity of the BIX uploader was given anywhere. Worse, the only identification the authors of the file provided were 'Shadow Hawk' and "Eagle One". They sound like hackers' (negative sense) or phreakers' handles, and in fact they list three BBS numbers, one of which is named 'Pirate 80' and another which is flagged 'Invitation Only'. I haven't tried the numbers; I don't even know where in the U.S. they are or how old the file is. Has anyone seen this file, and can you identify the authors? Has anyone seen any files describing similar devices or theories? (I haven't called the Tesla BBS, could it have come from there?) And of course the most important thing -- could any of it be true? I don't even know if the Biefeld-Brown effect is for real. The biggest amount of information I've heard about T. T. Brown was from Moore and Berlitz, and I don't want to consider them reliable sources. What, for example, does Brown call his device in his patents? I can't see the patent office issuing a patent for an antigravity device. If there's enough interest, I could post the file here. I'm not doing it now because it's about 19K, and I want to see if it's already been debunked as complete rubbish before I waste bandwidth. -- paper : James Shaffer Jr., 37 Brook Street, Montgomery, PA 17752 uucp : uunet!cbmvax!amix!vanth!jms (or) rutgers!cbmvax!amix!vanth!jms domain: jms%vanth@amix.commodore.com CompuServe: 72750,2335 quote : ATTENTION ALL PLANETS OF THE SOLAR FEDERATION: WE HAVE ASSUMED CONTROL ********To have your comments in the next issue, send electronic mail to******** 'infopara' at the following address: UUCP {ncar,isis,boulder}!scicom!infopara DOMAIN infopara@scicom.alphacdc.com ADMIN Address infopara-request@scicom.alphacdc.com {ncar,isis,boulder}!scicom!infopara-request ******************The**End**of**Info-ParaNet**Newsletter************************
