Hi Gene. Actually (I did a little homework after posting the first
message on the lights in the crater Aristarchus) there were two "waves" of
lights and other phenomena in and around the crater.
The first wave was spotted by a Russian astronomer and he actually
published a paper wondering if he was observing volcanic activity on the
moon. This theory (and his observations -- which were shared by other
astronomers & amateur stargazers) was laughed out of currency by the peer
community, because everyone knows there are no volcanos on the moon and no
UFOs either, right?
The subsequent wave of sightings lasted for some time and seemed to occur
at regular intervals from the same general area of the crater Aristarchus.
It was about one year after the Russian's paper was published. The
lights were red, quite bright, and intermittent. A Ham radio setup was
employed by astronomers around the world to spot them and observe them.
There was no ridicule of the second sightings.
Best,
Clark

UFO 5. Can anyone provide me with information, or reference to
articles or other materials, dealing with the issue of atmospheres and ETs?
As we all know, natural selection results in living things being adapted to
their environment -- we humans are adapted to Earth's atmosphere because
we evolved in it. If the constituents of our atmosphere were to change
dramatically, we'd be dead ducks (both individually and as a species).
Similarly, to survive outside Earth's atmosphere, we have to take our
atmosphere with us.
With one exception (an alleged statement by General Marshall in
Good's ABOVE TOP SECRET), in all the material I've read about ET visits to
earth, and abductions of humans into ET vehicles, I've never seen the
atmosphere problem addressed. The probability of an ET evolving in an
atmosphere identical to that of Earth approaches zero. So how come the
ETs and the humans can share the same space in abductions with no ill-
effects? How come the ETs can walk around on Earth (e.g., alleged CE-III
events) without special breathing apparatus? Can anyone talk on this
point? Thanks,
Gary

I sent this in over a week ago, but never saw it appear in the Paranet
Digest; therefore I am resubmitting a copy. Sorry if this is a duplicate
but I had no evidence that it ever got to the group. - Will
-+(Will, if you look at the Subject line, you will see why message was never
delivered to the newsgroup. We use a shellscript to input the email into
ParaNet and it coughed both times on you letter and anyone that used this
Subject line. I found this message because I went looking and it was in
'general'. The script does this if it can't determine which newsgroups it's
for. Sorry...Cyro)-+

Subject: "LA" vs. "La."
I stand by my assertion that "LA" would not be used as an abbreviation for
"Louisiana" in the '40's. The supposed counterexamples from dictionaries
and other contemporary sources do NOT disprove this. They all explicitly
stated the abbreviation "La." stood for Louisiana. Note that this is "La."
with a lower-case "a" and a trailing period. The original quote included
"LA" with both letters capitalized. The two-letter, no-period, all-capital
state abbreviations were from a much later period, as I stated originally.
Actually, this probably was some internal FBI reference that only a
contemporary insider could really explain. I very much doubt that we
will be able to puzzle it out from reference books and the like.
