New Element Discovered at NRC Research Centre
=============================================
The heaviest element known to science was recently discovered by
physicists at the NRC Research Centre. The element, tentatively named
Administratium, has no protons, 125 assistant neutrons, 75 vice
neutrons, and 111 assistant vice neutrons. This gives it an atomic mass
of 312. These 312 particles are held together in a nucleus by a force
that involves the continuous exchange of meson-like particles called
morons.
Since it has no electrons, Administratium is inert. However, it can be
detected chemically as it impedes every reaction it comes in contact
with. According to the discoverers, a minute amount of Administratium
caused one reaction to take over four days to complete, when it would
normally occur in less than one second.
Administratium has a normal half life of approximately 3 years, at which
time it does not actually decay, but instead, undergoes a reorganization
in which assistant neutrons, vice neutrons, and assistant vice neutrons
exchange places. Some studies have shown that the atomic weight
actually increases after each reorganization.
Research at other laboratories indicates that Administratium occurs
naturally in the atmosphere. It tends to concentrate at certain points,
such as government agencies, large corporations, universities, and NRC,
and can actually be found in the newest, best maintained buildings.
Scientists point out that Administratium is known to be toxic at any
level of concentration and can easily destroy any productive reactions
where it is allowed to accumulate. Attempts are being made to determine
how Administratium can be controlled to prevent irreversible damage, but
results to date are not promising.

The French ufologist you are referring to is Aime Michell. See his
book "Flying Saucers & the Straight Line Mystery" (1958) which
describes his theory of orthoteny. This idea of sighting congregation
along "great circles" etc held favour for some years then with
Vallee's refutation in "Challenge to Science" (1967). Anyway the idea
was never really a grid theory as such. The main propenent of that
idea was New Zealand researcher Bruce Cathie in his books "Harmonic
33" (1968), "Harmonic 695" (1971), "Pulse of the Universe - Harmonic
288" (1977), and "The Bridge to Infinity - Harmonic 371244" (1983).
One of my university majors was Pure Mathematics, and at the time I
was friendly with the daughter one of the maths lecturers. Some of us
in the class did a detailed mathematical review of the Cathie theory
and found it wanting. There were a number of errors. However ignoring
those thought the theory in essence revolves around harmonic
mathematical "numerology", without any substantial physical basis. An
interesting idea but one with a dubious physical basis. In fairness
to Cathie he corrected a lot of the mathematical errors when paperback
editions appeared of his books but this still did not address the
fatal problem of his harmonic numerological manipulations which
immediately divorced his work from any connection with physical
reality. His theory had and still does have a lot of followers but on
his theoretical exposition to date he fails to convince me. Anyway
his whole theory was based on a magnetic grid concept, ie that UFOs
were busily going around maintaining a magnetic navigation grid around
the earth. Cathie can tell you exactly where its all at. His book
touches on such wonders as "the harmonics of the Philadelphia
experiment" (which does nothing to add to the spurious nature of the
latter). It will be interesting to see if there are any Cathie-ites
out there!

Photos of the two circles show them to be incredibly similar to the
English circles. That is, swirled, definite edges and no apparent
plant damage that I could see in the photos.
The Salisbury's (MUFON folks) said that both circles were found
shortly after skyquakes were felt.
Speaking of skyquakes, I lived about 200 miles east of
Pensacola/Gulf Breeze from 1980 to 1984, and occasionally things in the
house would shake and rattle for no apparent reason. No ground shaking
was felt, and there was no sound. Folks assumed this was due to sonic
booms too far away to really be heard.

Good point, but according to the photos I saw, (which included a
person for scale) these circles are larger than I'd expect from
animals. Maybe 10 feet in diameter.
I can say for sure they're not alligator nests, though, in case that
comes up.

My Paranet feed went brain-dead about a week ago, so I may have
missed some mail. If there was anything important, please repost.
Shortly I'll present a bit of information which is the result of
quite a bit of time spent talking with Ed Walters, Frances Walters and
Bruce Maccabee. To put it simply, it puts the Gulf Breeze sightings in
a somewhat different perspective.

Subject: Skeptics UFO Newsletter
Date: 22 May 90 07:01:00 GMT
Arch-skeptic Philip Klass has come out with his own self-published newsletter,
entitled "Skeptics UFO Newsletter," or SUN. The newsletter is a series of
brief (2 or three paragraph) updates on several hot UFO fronts, followed by
the usual pointed Klassic barbs. Issue #3 runs 8 pages. Its quite informative,
but as can be expected, quite biased.
Among the major touche's:
Ed Walters' has been taking pictures of UFOs again, this time with a new 35mm
SLR camera. These, however, have turned out to be nothing more than red blobs
of light. Worse yet, there is every chance that the objects depicted are
flares carried aloft by balloons. Klass cites witnesses who called the TV
station and reported seeing the balloons through binoculars. Further,
photoanalysis shows the objects to be no more than a foot in diameter.
CSICOP has challenged Ed and his wife Frances to seek a Congressional
investigation into the Gulf Breeze sightings. In a letter of March 30th,
CSICOP told Walters that if his story is true, "they should promptly seek the
aid of elected officials responsible for the safety and well-being of the
American public." Klass complains, however, that Ed has not responded to the
letter. I somehow doubt that he will respond; however, I don't doubt that
Walters might seek such an investigation, if challenged by someone other than
Klass and CSICOP. Ed has made it a point to completely ignore Klass; and his
confidence in his own "case" - be it true belief or pure hubris - is
legendary.
One important fact that has been glossed over in the past but that Klass
brings out is that Walters' claim that he turned down the National Enquirer is
NOT true - THEY turned HIM down, after JPL's Robert Nathan cast doubt on the
photographs.
True to form, Klass takes a rather mean swipe at Whitley Strieber, asking
rhetorically if he is "suffering depression as a result of the critical
reception accorded his movie and most recent book [Majestic]."
And he falls flat on his face in criticizing the recent presentation at the
National Science Teachers Conference by a panel of distinguished Ufologists.
He cites the titles of the four papers presented:
"Using the UFO Subject to Spark Students' Interest" (Marge Christensen)
"Using Anomalous Phenomena to Teach Science" (Michael Swords)
"Using UFO Reports by Pilots to Illustrate Scientific Procedures"
(Richard Haines)
"Learning Critical Thinking from the Study of Unidentified Flying
Objects" (John Schuessler)
...then proceeds to quote EDWARD CONDON of all people, in an attempt to
discredit the teaching of "pseudo-science" in the schools. "...Many
children," says Condon, "are being allowed, if not actively encouraged, to
devote their science study time to the reading of UFO books and magazine
articles... Such study is harmful, not merely because of the erroneous nature
of the material itself, but also because it retards the development
of a critical faculty..." Klass also bemoans the fact that "No UFO skeptics
were invited to speak."
Its a safe bet that Klass has not seen the booklet containing the actual talks
given, but did he not even read the TITLES of the papers when he typed them?
It happens that I attended this conference, and the whole point of the
presentation was to INSTILL critical thinking in the student, not discourage
it or even to gloss over it. Nothing of a sensational nature was presented,
not even the slightest suggestion that teachers ought to teach UFOs because
they're "real." The message was that much can be learned from the study of an
emerging discipline, WHETHER OR NOT the base phenomenon has any reality. For
if there is no reality to the UFO question, we will need an entire generation
of well-prepared critical thinkers to find out WHY the past 43 years ever
happened and to make sure it doesn't happen again!
I'm not sure of the public availability of the SUN newsletter yet, so I won't
give the address here. If anyone's seriously interested in receiving it, let
me know and I'll pass it along.

Subject: Lear as Condor
Date: 23 May 90 01:04:00 GMT
I have just reviewed the tape of "UFO Cover-up Live" and paid special
attention to the segment showing "Condor", the anonymous government
scientist. In my opinion, it is not John Lear. Having spent many hours with
Lear on the phone and in person, I think I would know his inflections, his
syntax, and his diction, even if masked. While there is a slight similarity in
the inflection, the speaking style of Condor does not exhibit the smoothness
and glibness of Lear. Lear was never one to stammer or pause for impact; his
is a more direct, forceful, almost staccato delivery.
In addition, the identification of Robert Collins as Condor has been made by
several people close to the production of "UFO Cover-up Live"; and, though
given plenty of opportunity, Collins has never denied it to my knowledge.

Although I have not had the opportunity to talk to Allen as of
yet, I do recall that some months ago, he was involved in
organizing a "field trip" to Dulce. I also recall that it was
being coordinated with Gabe Valdez, a state trooper in New Mexico
who is supposedly real involved.

This is not directed at you specifically, and in fact you have a good
point in that the circle may be too large to be an animal nest. But,
while I and you may not be in a position to actually take samples and
really investigate the circle and can only speculate one it, the
"investigators" that are on the scene ought to be doing more then that
sort of off hand dismisal. They ARE in a position to do something
meaningfull but as I read the account they might as well be tourists -
about all they do is wander around the thing gawking at it.

I have watched him on LOCAL tv shows here in Las Vegas (ch-8 with
George Knapp's "On the Record"... for instance) and the bulk of the
speech was essentially (almost word for word) what CONDOR said on
the national show... I could be wrong, but who knows for sure? A
tid bit of info here... in the MID 70's Lear flew for a project that
my father was involved with here in Las Vegas, using a LIDAR (laser
system) for pollution detection. I actually met him, but was only
14 years old. (just threw that one in for the fun of it, true story)

Subject: Field circles here...
Date: 24 May 90 05:40:56 GMT
The following is a report of my "investigation" of the "mysterious" circles
discovered near here (about 5.2 miles from my home). I apologize for its
length, but I think it might me useful for those interested in how hoaxes
are perpetrated.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
On Sunday, May 13, 1990, I, along with two other people, arrived at the
scene at 9:30 a.m. The other two people were there to interview the people
who rented the land, and who had originally reported the circles to the
Herald Times (the local Bloomington, IN. newpaper). This interview was to
be a segment in their upcoming documentary/satire called "Mysteries of the
Wabash".
The previous day had displayed heavy rains and Sunday was overcast, with
occasional light drizzle. The ground was exceedingly wet.
Video recording equipment was set up, and I proceeded with my pack of tools
to the "rings". The area containing the rings was roped off and sat on a
slight incline (about 20 deg.), with the lowest portion Northward.
About 100 feet West by Southwest was the ruins of an old barn, complete
with sleeping pigs.
First, a description of the "circles". Although the Herald Times has been
consistently calling the circles "concentric", they are in fact a continuous
SPIRAL. The band of discoloration composing the spiral is approximately 8"
wide and separated by the adjacent band by a distance of 36". The outer
spiral contained some discontinuities. At one point, the intensity of
discoloration gradually weakened, stopped, then resumed with a large
"splotch".
Starting from the inside of the spiral, the direction is counter-clockwise.
The beginning of the spiral is on a line projected radially from center,
due West. The end of the spiral stops on this same line.
In the center of the spiral are three depressions, each is approximately 8"
wide and the outer 1" of each depression is further "depressed" about 0.5".
The depressions form an equilateral triangle, with each side measuring
7' 1" in length. One side of the imaginary "triangle" runs parallel to an
imaginary line running east to west.
Soil and plant samples have been taken. One sample was taken from the outer
Northern "limb". Other samples were taken of the Eastern most depression.
These have not yet (as of May 15) been analyzed.
Photographs of the depressions and portions of the spiral have been obtained.
After returning home, and some time later (around 5:50 p.m.), I decided to
call one of the interviewees in order to request permission to obtain more
samples the next day.
Becky Merida told me that the rings had been mowed down because later that
day, someone had, without permission, pulled their pickup truck up to the
rings so they could stand on the cab and get a good picture. In the process,
the truck was "hung" up. When they attempted to get it free, they left
deep ruts, which made the Bruce Merida's uncle angry, so, he went out and
mowed it all down.
I found this horrifying, thinking at the time that some good evidence had
just been destroyed as the result of a man's quick temper!
As soon as I was finished talking to Becky, I hung up the phone and
immediately called the producer of "Mysteries...", telling him of my recent
conversation with Becky.
Later, he sent me an E-mail message informing me that Becky called him about
1/2 hour after I did, to tell him that her husband's uncle made the spiral
by pouring weed killer in the pattern we saw. The depressions were made
with a sledge. He did it as a practical joke on his nephew, and never
expected it to go outside the family.
In a later computer e-mail message, the producer of "Mysteries.." interviewed
the "perpetrator" of the "joke" (found in sci.skeptics for those with
news capability, under "MotW:....").
Here is the gist of that message....
----------------------------------------------------------------
START
It seems that he and his brother have been playing practical jokes on one
another all of their lives. This particular joke had been germinating at
least a year. The intent was just to play it on the brother and others of
the family who are enamored of the idea that UFO's are alien space craft.
His method was simple. He set a 15 gallon can in the center of the area,
filled it with water to give it significant weight, and wrapped a rope around
it. On the free end of the rope he attached a watering can, which he then
filled with weed killer. He walked around the central can, keeping the rope
taught but unwinding it as he proceeded.
Afterwards, he measured out the equilateral triangle and then used a mallet
to make depressions at each apex.
He never intended the hoax to extend beyond the family -- he was very
surprised when the newspapers and TV took such interest after being contacted
by one of his nieces.
END
----------------------------------------------------------------
Four questions remain unanswered, (at least to me).
1.) After some calculations, knowing the distance between spiral arms was
36", which would also be the circumference of the can, using the formula:
circumference=2*pi*radius, and solving for radius, the central 15-gallon
can would have to have been about 11.5 inches in diameter. In order for a
container that skinny to hold 15 gallons of water, it would have to have
been at least 34-35 inches tall. I can think of a container that might fit
this bill (I've never measured one). That is an old-fashioned milk-can.
2.) The mallet trick bothers me. The depressions were 8" in diameter.
That alone could have been done by a mallet of that same width.
Incidentally, I don't think it was done by anything smaller because the
depressions were fairly round. The thing that bothers me (only because I
haven't heard the explanation yet) is the further depression around the
outer 1" of the main depression. Either the mallet had a funny "lip" shape
around its edge, or some other object having this lip was placed on the
ground and then pounded into the ground by the mallet. I have thought about
the "lip-shaped" top of a milk jug, and this may indeed be the case. The
uncle may have pounded the main, 8" shape into the ground, then, inverted
the milk jug (after emptying the water), and pushing it further into the
ground around the mallet mark. Since I don't know the actual dimensions of
a milk-can, I cannot be sure of this.
3.) The weed killer...what kind was it? If I knew this, then it would make
analysis of the samples much more straightforward. It is not trivial to
detect the presence of a complex organic molecule which doesn't belong.
Knowing what to look for first would help quite a bit.
4.) Why did Becky Merida not tell me about the "joke" when I spoke to her,
yet 30 minutes later, spills all to someone else? Perhaps she was just too
embarassed at that moment, or, she learned shortly after our conversation
that it was indeed, a joke. It is interesting that the subsequent article
in the Herald Times did not mention the "mowing" incident, nor did they
mention any details of HOW the joke was perpetrated, but only that
weed-killer was used.
I do not know if the samples will ever be analyzed at this point. Frankly,
I'm having trouble connecting with the right people on this. Furthermore,
it is probably detrimental to keep them for too long.
I will maintain a file of all articles, photographs, and so on on this case,
if for no other reason then future references on hoaxes.

Hi Klaatu, fellow sojourners, and aliens: ;-)
Paul thanks for the good wishes and positive vibes. I tend to get
absorbed in my work to the point that I forget to take vacations. Been
known to work through holidays as well.
I'd love to be taking a month or so off, but I might not come back if I
did. ;-) I'm looking forward to getting up a little later in the
morning (still think mornings should start later--say 1:00 p.m.). Also
looking forward to meeting Don when we get to Altamonte Springs.
I'm also going to be doing research for a book that I'm writing (purely
fiction of the horror genre). I need to check up on a couple of streets
in Orlando--my memory is loaded with UNIX and sockets stuff right now.
Once I double check on things, I can jump right back into the story and
get the first pass draft done. (Clark did this to me!! ;-) Thanks for
the impetus Clark.)
Some where in there, I plan to lay upon a white sand beach and lightly
toast the old bod. I don't burn, but I do turn a wlanut brown rather
rapidly. Must have something to do with my Native American heritage.
Anyway, I'll get back on the net as soon as we get back.
Check ya'll later.
