Among other newsettes, he informed me of the inception of a groundbreaking new international cooperative called the Joint American-Soviet Aerial Anomaly Federation. Haines is co-chair, along with Vladimir Rubtsov, one of Russia's leading Ufologists. This is a giant step forward for international ufology, and I hope we can find a way to interact with the group and expedite their communications.

'GENOME' CAUSES MASSIVE HUMANITY FAILURE Officials responsible for a spiral galaxy near the middle section of the universe revealed today that a small error in an encoding for the life form 'Homo sapiens' was responsible for the near extinction of the partly intelligent species. The change had been introduced during routine maintenance of the life form. Officials explained that the maintenance had been intended to improve the survivability of the species, but inadequate testing had caused it to become suspectible to a new sexually transmitted disease. Senior universe officials expressed disappointment in the control of the life forms in the galaxy, citing a series of malfunctions, especially near a yellow star at the edge. The H.S. species has required several patches in the field and still seems unstable. The latest change was not tested in alternative universes due to lax controls and lack of funding. Other officials cited inadequate specification and design review. 'How can we guarantee that the species works without a formal definition of what it is?' lamented one senior observer. 'These things just look like collections of cells - they just sort of grow. There's no mathematical model that can be used to verify it. I don't see how they ever got it started in the first place.' Insiders feel that the species can be rescued, but expressed doubt about its long-term viability. The estimate of the time needed for a thorough review of the documentation, writing the formal specifications, and verifying the genome encoding, expressibility, and environmental testing, is greater than the lifetime of the universe. Meanwhile, yet another mutation and alteration of the local laws of physics will be required to back out of this particular upgrade. With funding already stretched, this setback might just spell the end of H.S. The formally verified Vulcan species, originally slated for production next year, has been delayed due to a series of technical problems and is now scheduled for beta testing after the next big bang. --- End of forwarded message from ho (Hilarie Kauiolani Orman) -------------------------------------------------------------------- From: conncoll.bitnet!gateh Subject: A weird item in the news Date: 16 Aug 91 04:20:37 GMT From: gateh%CONNCOLL.BITNET@YALEVM.YCC.Yale.Edu I have read the past several digests with great interest, as the material from Belgium, the crop circle item(s), and the summarization of the info relating to the space exploration exhibition and the possible alien artifacts have provided much food for thought. Shortly after reading this, I was enjoying my latest copy of _World Press Review_ (Aug. 1991), a magazine providing world 'news and views' from non-US sources when I had to read and then re-read one bit several times to make sure I wasn't missing something. (In a section pertaining to Persian Gulf events, a brief exerpt from the _Jerusalem Post_): 'Saddam again commands one of the most powerful military machines in the region... Given his ability to deceive, there is little doubt that he will remain in possession of nuclear, chemical, and biological [weapons] capability. Soon it will not be only visitors from another planet who find it difficult to believe that Desert Storm actually happened.' That is the _entire_ quote, exactly as it appears in the magazine, and it is laid out in such a blase fashion that I can't help but wonder if the translation is a little off the mark. Given the other things I had just read, it certainly caught my eye.

Oddly enough, there was no mention made of a possible connection to UFO's. Also oddly enough, while the people quoted in the article suggest that the mutes have been an ongoing problem, it is the first article on it in the Phx papers in quite a while. Also rather irritating to me is that they allow the "authourities" to make reference to third hand stuff they have heard about what satanists do but make it sound like they have some hard evidence it is satanists. In all the reports and investigations of mutes they never seem to track down these supposed satanists perpetrators. * * Tribune Newspapers * Thursday, August 15, 1991 B7 * TUCSON - A satanic cult is being blamed for the death and mutilation of eight cattle and a horse in south- eastern Arizona. "There have been nine killings and mutilations since November," the Most recent On July 20, Bill Allen, associate director of the animal ser- vices divsion of the Arizona Depart- ment of Agriculture, said Tuesday. "We have evidence indicating satanic activity," he added. "Some of the indications are the removal of sexual organs from cattle and the draining of blood from the body. We saw that sort of thing." Allen said Satanists might use the organs for some sort of fetish, and the blood can be used in a ritual of bap- tism by blood or drinking of blood." Lt. Filiberto Solano, an investigator and law enforcement officer with the animal services division, said four of the carcasses were found in the San Rafael Valley south of Sonoita in Santa Cruz County. One was found north of Sonoita in Pima County and the remainder were found in Cochise County west and southwest of Sierra Vista. "We don't know the cause of death of the animals. That's still under investigation," Solano said. "But there were definitely satanic overtones in the mutilations. "With cows, they took the udder or part of it, the sex organ and the anus," he said. "And on some of them we found mutilations in the ear and the tail... One of the animals was a bull. They took the testicles, the scrotum, the penis, the anus, the tongue and the right ear. " Solano said investigators are cer - tain the mutilations aren't the work of predators or scavengers. "The body parts have been cut off." he said. "And those parts are all they take. There's no sign of blood at the scene, so apparently they're taking the blood, too. " Investigators have turned up addi- tional signs of satanic practices, Solano said. "We've found altars around the nearby Huachuca Mountains, altars made of rocks, " he said. -- Jim Delton - via FidoNet node 1:104/422 UUCP: !scicom!paranet!User_Name INTERNET: Jim.Delton@f100.n1010.z9.FIDONET.ORG -------------------------------------------------------------------- From: Don.Allen@f29.n363.z1.FIDONET.ORG (Don Allen) Subject: Lear And Others...

Lines: 79 On Tuesday of last week an entirely new crop formation appeared for the first time near West Woods, Lockeridge. From the air this looks like an enormous fish, whale or dolphin 200 ft long. At each end straight pathways of flattened crop lead out into the centre of large rings 60 ft in diameter. The two paths are co-linear and form the central axis of the formation about which it is symmetrical. On either side of this great fish-shape are other pathways each slanted backwards at 45 deg. These have the appearance of flippers, or perhaps the dorsal and ventral fins of this marine animal. Whether this represents a whale, a dolphin or other fish, hooked between two great rings is not clear. Certainly the elongated tapering body which which has filled out from a swirled circle at its centre is something never previously seen. Last Thursday a further identical formation appeared near Beckhampton, three miles away. One interesting facet is that the plain ring with a straight path to its centre is one element of the "unbelievable" pictogram at Barbury Castle, which Dr Meaden has had to say is a hoax. On Thursday a friend of mine was being interviewed for a Channel 4 documentary in the first "whale" at Lockeridge. This proved almost impossible due to the noise of helicopters and microlights above. He met Robert Watts who was trying to film the formation for his new movie at the same time. He is a film-maker who helped George Lucas produce 'Star Wars' and who made movies like 'Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom', etc. His colossal helicopter which roared overhead, and to which he gave instructions through a walkie- talkie, made the Robinson my friend was in look like a toy. Footage of the Circles will be used in his latest movie, 'Once upon a time in the Universe', which will be released in late 1992. Above in the helicopter they were using a fabulously expensive VistaVision movie camera, one of only three in the world. Talking to him later they discovered that he was extremely knowledgable about the circles and had a very good insight into the circles nature . My friend was flattered to hear that he attributed this to some extent to what he had written in 'The Crop Circle Enigma'. (Published by CCCS) In the last few days two more similar formations have appeared in the Silbury Hill area. The latest ones are smaller and have the end rings over- lapping the tapering ends of the "fish-body". The two flippers are missing. One of these formations is near the end of Stone Avenue, an avenue of menhirs running S. from the great Stone Circle at Avebury. The connection between the dowsable energy lines which run through this Stone Circle and along Stone Avenue and the new formations seems undoubted. This is immediately next to the energy line whose remarkable variations had been dowsed during the earlier months of this year. And beside this new formation is a precise semicircle which is also something not previously seen. Reports are coming in of circles and larger formations in Cambridgeshire, Nottinghamshire, Cornwall, Kent, Essex, Buckinghamshire and Hampshire all of which have been found in the last few days. There are many different shapes, some completely new like the strange curly designs being found near Cheesefoot Head. A quincunx formation in which one of the four satellites is replaced by a triangle has appeared near Chequers, a Prime Ministerial residence near High Wycombe. I am told that the arrow-like triangle points straight at Chequers. There is a few formations in Cambridgeshire last weekend. Just a simple pictogram or two at Sutton near Ely where circles have never previously appeared and a magnificent 200ft diameter ring (10 ft wide) where the standing wheat in the middle is quite undisturbed. The latter, at Elton, was found one year to the day after a similar formation in the same place in 1990. The field where this ring and a smaller ring and circle are situated is right over the site of ancient Durobrivae, the second largest settlement in Roman Britain. +-------------------------------------------------------------------+ | DISCLAIMER: | | The views expressed in this document are not a corporate view | | nor reflect the views of my employer by any means but are my | | own personal views on this subject . | | | | Robert Trevelyan UKnet: rob@aixssc.ibm.co.uk | | AIX Communications VNET: TREVELR at BASVM2 | | Voice: +44-(0)256-56144 | +-------------------------------------------------------------------+ ______End of article_________________________________________________ This one would appear a bit different than the last few designs.

However, the story does raise some further questions in my mind. First of all, if the latest mutilation was discovered on July 20th, why is the story only now being published, almost 4 weeks after the event? Secondly, if these "killings" (9 in total) have been occurring since November of '90, why have they not been reported until now? Perhaps they were, and I am just unaware. It is also crucial to learn the manner in which the various organs and body parts were excised. IF these were cult killings, the wounds should by somewhat irregular in appearance, but not to the point of displaying tissue tearing as would be the case in predation. If the wounds were caused by a more adept surgeon using more sophisticated equipment, this too would be obvious. Since we are lacking a detailed wound description in this case, it is difficult to make an accurate determination at this time. Lt. Solano stated "...We don't know the cause of death of the animals. That's still under investigation...". Do you mean to tell me he's been investigating these 9 killings since last November, and still has not been able to come up with a cause of death? Now that's a bit hard to believe! The fact that the animal carcasses and sites of discovery were found to be "bloodless" is of course a telltale sign of something other than a cult killing. I'm sure that John Altshuler, M.D. who works closely with Linda Moulton-Howe, would love to get some tissue samples for analysis. I hope someone has contacted him. BTW, if any readers have any further information on this case, Dr. Altshuler's mailing address is: John H. Altshuler, M.D. 5700 Dunbarton Drive Englewood, CO 80111 Thanks for the good work Jim, and keep those eyes open.
