My message wasn't to you personally (though it may have seemed that way); it was addressed to the source of the article, whoever that may be. I of course missed the first couple chapters becauase of mail problems. + ...has been uppermost in mind that a forged address isn't all that hard + to engineer if you know the techniques; this may or may not be less + realistic from a milnet site.

Is that + more preferable than trying to prove it's validity via the Jason + Group listing of the members themselves; or is the issue that makes + people declare it 'bullshit' because of the mention of "Alt 3" where + it's dismissed upon reading such? Or is it that something like this + sends ripples across our agreed-upon reality that neither the + Philadelphia Experiment nor Alternative 3 are held to be 'True'? I think I paid a reasonable amount of attention to it. I don't believe that I declared it bullshit out of hand... But you must admit that the format makes the content much much harder to take objectively. It is disorganized enough to have been written by machine. Did you ever read the label on Dr. Brommer's Pure-Castle Soap? Check this out sometime, if you can find it. The real question here is this: how much of the rainbow article is verifiable? How much of it will be verified? The way I see it, even if every buzzword and catchphrase in that morass is true, it is STILL harmful to the cause of those who believe in Other Life, because its format makes it so utterly unbelieveable. Even if you were gullible enough to believe the logic, much of which is questionable at best. -------------------------------------------------------------------- From: bcstec.ca.boeing.com!kuryakin Subject: Black Aircraft Date: 4 May 92 23:25:13 GMT From: kuryakin@bcstec.ca.boeing.com (Rick Pavek) The item seen on the NBC newscast is thought to be something other than Aurora, by those actively exploring the subject. Aurora is likely an advanced ramjet with hypersonic speed capability. What NBC showed was described as a 'disk' that moved slowly and hovered by the cameraman who saw it. (Not to mention that the Aurora doesn't hover...) Timber Wind is thought to be a nuclear powered craft that utilizes a directed thrust and I didn't see any evidence of thrust (or incandescent gas) on the object that I saw in the NBC piece. No, this seems to be some evidence that maybe Bob Lazar isn't quite as flaky as people might think. Comments, anyone? Maybe the route to UFO confirmation is via exploration and investigation of the Black projects in the desert.

The mention of hypnosis puts me in mind of the most atrocious book on hypnotically- uncovered abduction experiences I think I've ever read---a piece of tripe by some person called Edith Fiore, Ph.D, the title of which escapes me at the moment ("Encounters", maybe?) and which serves as a masterful example of how to ask blatantly leading questions. Things like "do you remember being taken up by the aliens into their space- ship?" and "do you think the aliens were trying to cure your hemmorhoids?" and "try to recall the first moment when the ET's kidnapped you." Talk about "poisoning the well." As far as hypnosis itself goes, can one really lend much weight to what it retrieves in regard to these supposed "abductions" (remember, folks---nothing has been definitely proven one way OR the other as to the existence of EBE's) when it has been demonstrated to be of dubious reliability under far less psychologically stressful conditions (recalling license plate numbers, the color of a bank robber's blazer, etc.)? What I mean to say is, if it's spotty for something as simple as helping someone to recall a plate number, how good is it going to be in helping someone recall his kidnap and medical examination by a mob of pug-ugly little grey men from Cygnus Minor?......

It was shaped like a regular airplane but instead of regular wings had two massive shapes on each side of the central fuselage; the shapes were on the end of what appeared to be very short connecting "wings" on either side of the fuselage. He said it made a loud whining or humming sound, moved very slowly and then zoomed away. It's general description made me wonder whether it was a stealth version of a jump-jet (like the Harrier) with hover capability. There is a major airbase in the area.

Eventually it is assumed to be true. As in Newton's laws. As our instrumentation gets more discriminating, experiments show errors in the theory, or confirm it. As for UFOs, it seems much easier to me to go ahead and posit the existence of ET. This handily explains almost all of the observed behaviour. Our own limited knowledge (knowledge is always limited) concludes that other planets are highly likely. Life abounds on Earth in all kinds of weird places. There is no real reason NOT to assume ET out there somewhere. I am afraid that to a visitor we would look like animals. Similar to what we think of monkeys or cows. We are obviously violent and selfish, willing to destroy whole countries with nuclear weapons. There is no central contact point for aliens to contact. Someone might try to attack them. It is no wonder that ETs might not want to get too close. We stink. All through recorded time, man has had a relationship with "other" intellegences. Elves, gods, etc. It is so much simpler to explain all of this (and UFOs) with the ET hypothesis. The amount of anecdotal evidence is overwhelming. Some explanation is required._ I challenge you skeptics out there to come up with one shred of proof AGAINST the ET theory. Bill Peterson -- Howdy Pardner! Let's chew the fat!

Did anyone hear about UFO reports downunder on the 28th April? According to the reports I heard, Toukley Police (NSW Central Coast) had a number of reports, between the hours of 2:20am and 2:35am EST, of a round red and white flashing light hovering over Norah Head Beach. Inspector Mike Stephen of Toukley Police says he can't find the people who made the reports (a rumour is they all said their name was 'Smith'(?)), but on the TV that evening they had a number of people who claimed to have 'seen the light' (and I don't mean that in a religous sense ;-) One couple said how scared they were, and that the light seemed very bright and was all through the house. An old couple had a similar story. The man said that he had tried to chase the light in his car, but that when he tried to start it it was dead. Another person said that their dog was so upset by the light that it chewed through it's lead to try and get away. I believe there is a nearby army base which claimed that it had a helicopter in the area, but that it was out to sea at the time, so could not have been the light. So what was it? Ball lightning bouncing off clouds has been suggested? Anyone else heard any more about this? AN APOLOGY!! Sorry the report is not as exciting as most of these stories you get here. No Pleiadians or Cattle Mutilations by Greys, or government coverups...... No Channeling, no make-love-not-war alien messages, or abductions and sexual experiments on abducted human beings! That's why this report sounds a little more credible!!!! Jamie -- Jamie P.

Going into it, I didn't know what to expect! There's something to be said for reading older UFO books - they are rich in background. Apparently Vallee went on some sort of quest to chase down the psychological effects of UFO's on people. It took me a while to realize that he is addressing the notion of Contactees in this book - those contacted by some higher intelligence (so they think) who gives them a message or a promise of some sort. He met all sorts of whackos in this late 1970's book. It doesn't appear he is going to mention "legitimate abductees" - those people who claim to have been abducted unwillingly, who are not seeking wealth, and not trying to convert the world to some sort of new belief. Well, heck, I was going to quote a few things but have discovered that I left the book at work! Anybody read this book??

Colin advised that Dr Steven Greer's SETI team conducted a contact test at Gulf Breeze on March 13 1992. I have Colin's account of this if it needs to be posted. He refers to these as "airborn components" (UFOs). Over lunch during April 16th, Colin indicated that there would be a media release that week on the CNN Larry King Show but that this info was being tightly controlled. Colin characterised the signalling as using lasers. As this sounded quite interesting, I contacted Walt Andru on April 16th. Walt had talked to Steven Greer a week and a half earlier at the Eureka Springs Arkansas conference. Greer had been to Gulf Breeze and is conducting experiments into what he likes to call CE5 cases-where "humans interact with UFOs by flashing lights, things of that nature, trying to attract them." Gree and his "team" had 3 big half million candle power lights out in the park at Gulf Breeze and they were flashing them in the sky trying to attract UFOs and 3 "UFOs" apparently came over. They got pictures of them and several videos were made by MUFON investigators of them as well. According to Walt there were 3 in a triangular formation. They were signalling to, and another 2 outside the sill picture field, but were caught on video panning. They flew over and then the group started flashing. The lead object appeared to respond by turning out its lights. This wasa done several times. Now it must be stressed that Greer's SETI group is not officla. In fact it is called CSETI-the center for the Study of ET Intelligence, a privateresearch group based in Ashville, Carolina, where Dr Greer is a young doctor in emergency care at the local hospital. Greer is also the state section director for MUFON. He claims to have done a similar exercise in Belgium and hopes to replicate the Gulf Breeze experience in a test in England in crop circle territory during June. Colin Andrews was "predicting" that there could be a major "relevation/event" shortly involving "airborn components" he believes are behind the crop circles in England. He appeared to be suggesting that Greer's experiment in England this coming June might be the stimuli for just such a major event, wherein all will be revealed." End of Bill's information. Comments? Question-has this information made the media in the US as hoped? -- Keith Basterfield - via ParaNet node 1:104/422 UUCP: !scicom!paranet!User_Name INTERNET: Keith.Basterfield@f12.n1040.z9.FIDONET.ORG -------------------------------------------------------------------- From: eiverson@NMSU.Edu Subject: Re: Paranet Newsletter 551 Date: 6 May 92 15:51:51 GMT From: eiverson@NMSU.Edu the story: 'Alien Spacecraft' Blasted by Hunters has been established to be part of an April Fool's issue of the newsletter it was in.

I will have to slip out of Paranet for the summer, before I study graduate-level astronomy at San Diego State. Anyone out in that area? I will have to catch up on Paranet in the Fall by reading on the Cleveland Freenet, where all the issues are posted. Could have gone to U of Florida, but alas, they only gave out two fellowships and two assistantships. A guy who already has a PhD in math had to be turned down for financial support. Recession has hit Florida education badly? Peterson's Guide said Florida accepts 21/35 of students applying, but this year it was 12/120. Makes me wonder about the accuracy of Graduate guide books... Anyway, this Summer I will meet with John White, who is quite interested in my book. He happens to live in Cheshire, CT, which is the town next door to my hometown, Wallingford, CT (birthplace of Morton Downey Junior, and former silver capital of US.) I will stay the summer with my parents in Wallingford. I hoped to get parts of the UFO section of my book copyrighted so I could field ideas on Paranet, but the US Copyright office in DC has been slow to send me forms. It will be summer before I get a response, but perhaps in the late Fall I can post something. For a year I have hoped to present my quasi-statistical proof of UFOs, and I think I announced it long back. It will have to wait. More galactic thoughts from: Amicitia Subjugat Omnia Hweohthte...
