JS>He hasn't updated it since 1988, however. You may be able to fill the void. Thanks Jim, I'll have to pick that up. I hope Mike's not in too big a hurry for this FAQ. JS>That's another one that would make an excellent book. "Close Encounters of JS>the Rich and Famous..." Ha! I know a "celebrity UFO" file won't prove anything, except that it's not just farmers and fishermen who see the damn things. Besides it's kind of fun. I've found plenty of anecdotes so far, but finding the actual sources is proving difficult. There's about 10 accounts in Brad and Sherry Steiger's "Hollywood and the Supernatural" ranging from the mundane (Cliff Robertson's) to the impossible (Elvis Presley!). * OLX 2.1 TD * ParaNet(sm) Alpha-Beta 9:1012/31 Fido 1:285/205 - JetMail v1.14a8 - Unregistered QWK Mail Door for Spitfire -- Bob Dunn - via ParaNet node 1:104/422 UUCP: !scicom!paranet!User_Name INTERNET: Bob.Dunn@p0.f31.n1012.z9.FIDONET.ORG -------------------------------------------------------------------- From: Bob.Dunn@p0.f31.n1012.z9.FIDONET.ORG (Bob Dunn) Subject: Upcoming EUP Guests Date: 20 Dec 92 07:24:00 GMT The Fortean Research Center of Lincoln, Ne. produces a weekly radio show on local community access radio (KZUM 89.3 FM, Saturdays 10 am - 11:30 am) called Exploring Unexplained Phenomenon.

TD> Boy, is my face red - of course 1992 is in error on TD>my part. (Comes from typing while trying my best to TD>sleep) I think you will find 1954 a better reckoning. If you're going to have a typo its good to have a real obvious one.! However, I am disappointed. I frequently find myself practicing sleep-typing and I had hoped that maybe I would get better as time goes on... TD> "Why do these creatures always stink to hign heaven?" TD> You've got me on that one. All-in-all, I am unaware that a large TD>cases relate an odor. Most of the 'monster' cases I've read the creature always stinks. (Actually the witnesses report a stink.) TD> "The point, or question, is how did they know it stunk?" TD>Clearly they were uneducated people and referring to any standard they TD>could bring up from within their own experiences. To that TD>particular group of people at their own particular level of TD>experience - the thing (or its environment) stank. Sure, that's a reasonable explanation. (Even makes sense...) Its just a little odd to me that something foreign would register as a stink to a human unless that human had already smelled it some time previously.... Thanks, take care.

It's a plane? It's a UFO, family says" by Diana Washington Valdez _Desert Sun_, January 2, 1992 LA QUINTA - What was it? Friends who gathered for a New Year's celebration and saw it in the night sky hovering over La Quinta are still wondering. Robert Ceballos of Palm Springs filmed the strange lights with his video camera and spent most of the day showing it to others. Todd Sandell believes what they saw shortly after midnight on Friday was an unidentified flying object. "I've never seen anything like it in my life," Sandell said. "It was not an airplane, helicopter or weather balloon - it was a UFO." Ceballos, his wife, Willema Ceballos, and his brother, Richard Ceballos, agree what they saw was unusual. The Ceballoses were at Sandell's La Quinta home on Avenida Villa when they saw the objects, which first appeared to the north. The circular lights were reddish-yellow and faded in and out. Two of them faded completely away after about 15 minutes, while a third one lingered for another half hour. Something swirled around the third light in a clockwise direction, fell downward and then pulled back into the light. "At first I thought it was a star, or maybe fireworks, but it moved around, then stood perfectly still, and it didn't make any noise," said Richard Ceballos of Cathedral City. Robert Ceballos said people next door also noticed the objects and took still pictures of them. "It was weird and a little scary," Willema Ceballos said. A Riverside County Sheriff dispatcher said someone in Moreno Valley reported seeing a big ball of fire fall from the sky after midnight on Friday. "An officer who went to check didn't see anything," the dispatcher said. -- Jeff Brewi - via ParaNet node 1:104/422 UUCP: !scicom!paranet!User_Name INTERNET: Jeff.Brewi@p0.f812.n202.z1.FIDONET.ORG -------------------------------------------------------------------- From: Steve.Gresser@f100.n1012.z9.FIDONET.ORG (Steve Gresser) Subject: Sighting- La Quinta, CA Date: 7 Jan 93 08:35:00 GMT > Robert Ceballos of Palm Springs filmed the strange lights > with his video camera and spent most of the day showing it to > others.
