THANKS BIG AGAIN.

BTW,

Have a 2nd section to my Word copy of the PING LIST--autonumbered with each name on it's own line.

Helps a bit in scanning for duplicates or not and seeing how many are on it. Not sure if it helps with the alphabetizing, or not. I usually do that 'by hand.'

Cheers.

I think you've left off Dark Skies in the version you sent me.

You might run them through the sort again on alphabetizing, BTW.

My thought exactly. The sighting lasted ten minutes, and no pictures? This must be the only guy in North America who doesn't own a digital camera.

This one's a parachutist suspended by a parawing canopy:

This one's a paper airplane:

And this guy in San Mateo must have the crappiest digital camera on the market.

LOL

Keep that death grip on your skepticism.

It will make having to flush it all that more dramatic and exciting.

Certainly there's plenty of disinformation and other hogwash in the field.

AND

There IS a LOT of solid reports by very well trained and objective people.

BTW, the phenomenon seems to have historically had an easy time of preventing, trashing and even a record of theft of good photographs. But, hey, let's not be picky about facts.

Given that swamp gas is soooooooooo dangerous to our national security and all such as to warrant so enormously the uttermost top secret classifications according to the Supreme Court.

The object moved from west to east, very slowly for something that size, he said. His initial instinct was that the object was moving at about 100 knots, but something that big shouldn’t be able to stay in the air if it’s going that slow, he said.

The object began changing colors from a bright silver to an orange-ish red. A strange cloud of red and orange flames began surrounding the object, and before he knew it the object stretched out like a rubber band. It grew to about twice its original size, and then it was gone.

One week before the big Indonesian earthquake that caused the Boxing Day tsunmai there were similar reports (with the addition of a final explosion) in that area.

see this FR thread on the earlier event as reference. Notice the following statement:

Raharto said later that if witnesses' accounts were correct, it could have been a ball of gas some 1,000 meters (3,300 feet) in diameter enveloping a much smaller solid core.

The blast, he said, could have come from the core exploding as it underwent a rapid temperature rise due to friction.

"The fallout would have been small pieces, that could easily go unnoticed in unpopulated areas," he said, explaining the absence so far of any evidence of a large impact.

This UFO report may be a precursor to a giant geologic event in the northwestern US. Maybe the sightings are the result of some unknown peizo electric effect in seismic zones. Whatever the case, I do dismiss this guys explanation, but I don't dismiss that something happened.

I think I'm going to try to correlate the 1965 report to any area geologic events. If I find anything I'll post.

Interesting. Hadn't heard of that one.

You know, you can go back to the Roswell Incident for one of the most curious acts by the US Air Force and our Government.

Whether or not Jesse Marcell (Major Marcell), had in his possession a Weather Balloon, or something that he could not identify and ended up calling it a UFO is not in question here. What is in question is this.

IF, Major Marcell did NOT have material in his hands that he could not Identify, but mistakenly Identified it as a UFO, then what I want to know is... Why was he not immediately processed out of the service for incompetance?

The Man should have been brought before a Competance board. He never was. Instead, he was promoted and allowed to serve until retirement.

Here is a man who is THE ONLY Intelligence officer for THE ONLY, Nuclear armed Bomber force in the world!

Do you find that as odd as I do?

[Quix]

EXTREMELY PERCEPTIVE AND WELL PUT.

THANKS.

Much agreed. Just didn't jive--as most of their disinformation and hogwash about the topic doesn't jive.

But the naysayers love swallowing it whole hog.

Thanks for adding me to you ping lists...
