I caught a piece of their Rendleshem UFO special this week...Mind you, it was hosted by Bryant Gumbel (oh, how the "mighty" have fallen)...
Just damn.
If you want on the new list, FReepmail me. This IS a high-volume PING list...

A motherlode of irony
The lightbulb almost came on...
Must be some pretty important happenings going on in that 8000 miles huh?

2. we have used some of it already.
3. Some of it we haven't figured out yet...think of a 747 landing in a caveman's front yard. How long before he figures out how to operate and fly it? That's where we are with some of it.
4. The Gov't still isn't talking because they would have to address the abduction phenomenon...which they either can't stop, or made a deal to look the other way, depending on the USG sources we are working with in declassifying this heretofore black subject.
5. Those who think this is all nonsense, you are welcome to your opinion, but since this younger generation is not being kept quiet with Cold War rationale, is preparing to blow the lid off of some of this stuff. I really no longer care who "believes" or not. It is eventually going to be revealed and accepted. The abductions are happening. Whether you choose to study any of the data and make your own judgement is completely your call. I know longer care who "believes" and who doesn't. Those who study these things, and who have worked with abductees know this is going on. Whether the media or public "believes" or not, is, frankly, irrelevant.
6. Those who want to be more educated can read. I recommend The Day after Roswell by Phillip Corso. Corso is the Army Colonel who blew the lid off the long secret medical experiments done by the PRK and Soviets on our prisoner from the Korean War. Before he died a year or so ago, he finally published his book about the work we did on the Roswell debris when he was assigned to put it to work in the Army's Foreign Technology division under General Arthur Trudeau. Some facts on Col. Corso's background can be found here

If you are interested in the abduction phenomenon, I recommend one by a skeptic...for skeptics:
Close Encounters of the Fourth Kind by C.D.B. Bryan, journalist and author of the bestselling Vietnam war book, Friendly Fire. Bryan went to a conference on the abduction problem that was quietly held at M.I.T. in 1992. This conference was organized by the M.I.T. Professor of Physics David Pritchard, and Harvard Professor of Psychiatry, and Pulizer Prize winning author, John Mack. Bryan fully expected to ridicule nutcases and expose charlatans bent on making money from a gullible public. At the end of the conference he was convinced something extraordinary was going on...and that this needs further investigation. Here is Publisher's Weekly's take on Bryan's book.
Bryan (Friendly Fire) brings top-notch reporting skills to this open-minded account of a five-day conference on UFO abductions held at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in 1992. Many of the purported abductees, who spoke at the symposium and in subsequent interviews with Bryan, tell of being floated aboard spacecraft by gray, four-foot-tall creatures with big heads who subjected them to clinical examinations.
Bryan believes in the abductees' sincerity but remains undecided whether such experiences are encounters with nuts-and-bolts craft and real aliens, disturbances of the collective unconscious or something else.
Among the ufology heavyweights attending the conference were bestselling abduction researchers Budd Hopkins and David Jacobs, who believe aliens are conducting an ongoing breeding experiment with humans; Harvard psychiatrist John Mack (Abduction), who emphasizes that close encounters often involve personal transformation and growth; folklorist Thomas Bullard; and Sacramento psychologist Richard Boylan, who divulges his own recent encounter with three "interdimensional" beings in the New Mexico desert.
Bryan's thought-provoking report takes us to the frontiers of current UFO research and controversy. 50,000 first printing; BOMC and QPB selections.
Among my other many hobbies, I am a state director for Public Information for MUFON. Cheers.
It's an awfully big universe to have only one inhabited planet.
And no, I don't think any little green men have ever landed here. I just don't believe that G-d created all of those other billions of galaxies and stars just to look good in our sky.
