John, you are probably right -- but whatever flavor(s) of night-viewing
equipment the researchers had, they should have been able to resolve the
culprits in their systems.
Even an old first-generation starlight scope can do THAT.
The U.K. circle 'hoax' raises more questions than it answers in my mind.
For example, the "orange blobs" were almost certainly seen in IR equipment,
as a heat signature. Why didn't the equipment record people flattening the
crops? Instead of "orange blobs", I mean? The only way I know of is that
the perpetrators must have been wearing protective clothing, which matches
the IR signature of the surrounding vegetation.
But this protective clothing is generally scarce and usually matches the IR
signature of woodland vegetation, not ripe wheat/barley (I saw a video of
the hoax circles and it looked like a wheat or barley field to me).
So whoever hoaxed this either had a very sophisticated knowledge of IR
equipment or the researchers had IR equipment that was about as
precise as the Hubble telescope.
What's more, an "orange blob" on an infrared viewer can quickly resolve
itself into a hoaxer under a camoflage net if you look at the blob with a
Starlight Scope. In other words, you can hoax infrared but absolutely not
hoax light-amplification devices.
It's weird, weird, weird in my opinion. Either the "researchers" had cheap,
old, nonfunctioning equipment and paid no attention to it while it recorded
the "orange blobs" and made no effort to investigate the "blobs". Or
something spoofed the equipment and the researchers and gave them a surprise
the following day.
It beats me.
Best,
Clark

Hi John, I live aboard my 45' catamaran cruiser and wouldn't have it any other
way. Boat living is the best.
My brother has a 38' ketch that he lived aboard for several years. He and his
wife cruised the Bahamas are for a few years and had some experiences with
unidentified "things".
He was up here a couple of weeks ago and got hooked on my computer. He has
enrolled in a "basic computer" class in Fla. and is very interested in getting
this particular echo when he sets up.
Watch for him. He probably will have some interesting information.

It would seem to me that, after witnessing what has been said about Ed, the
majority of people would not be willing to say they had a video if they had
fifty of them. I'm not saying whether Ed is for real or not. Just saying that
most people, if they felt they were going to be ridiculed and investigated as
much as Ed has been, would never reveal any evidence they had.

Watch it now Jym. ;-> Good to read you again. I DO pop up in the most
unexpected places, don't I? Besides, I think you and I were on the same side
in most of the discussion.
Hope to hear a LOT more from you on this echo.

This is true. However, it would release gases that could be trapped
and contained and breathed by humans (although radioactivity could
be a problem).

Zach:
What evidence do you have for the claim that Don works for 'Army
Intelligence'? Or is this another one of those suppositions that you
love to throw around? Maybe you heard this from TS or Cooper!?
If so, then you'll need to include me! You might really be shocked if
you read my bio and resume (the complete and unabridged one). The fact
is that there are a lot of folks out there who have had 'an in' as they
say. You are not working with all the facts--especially if you buy
Alternative 003.
H-bombing the poles of Mars!! Give me a break! No; on second thought,
keep this stuff coming. I need a good comedy! The junk that is on TV
now isn't nearly as good as this stuff that you've been dishing out.
Abbott and Costello it isn't, but still it isn't bad. ;-)
BTW, we don't call it Army Intelligence. It is called Military
Intelligence. Care to see my coffee mug!?

Hey Don:
Ain't be doin' nothing but work, pal. This AO is getting too
time-consuming for me to do 'real work.' ;-)
Bo has always been a bit of a 'Duke Wayne' (may God rest his soul). Now
if it was Beckwith, Simons, or Donolan, then I'd be front and center.
But I give Bo credit for at least doing something. I don't recall the
exact numbers but roughly 40 of our numbers are still unaccounted for.
Considering the price on our heads back then, I am willing to bet the
most of the SF missing are in shallow graves. Still, I want an
accounting--too many friends, too many. And I tend to believe that one
life is worth the bother. But then, I'm old school and still believe in
Duty, Honor, and Country. Leastwise that is what the ring says.
As for Cooper, man, I'd loan you my .357 if I thought it would put him
out of our misery. ;-) He has given the whole field a bad name.
Unfortunately, he isn't the only one.
It used to be that reading the Paranet newsletter was a great deal of
fun and often informative. Suddenly I see TS's clone out there spouting
off about Alternative 003 and maligning the net. 'Hey, TS, Zach, wake
up and smell what you been shovelling!!' But saying that only relieves
my immediate tension and does little more.
This bit on Greer and the assassination of President Kennedy is only one
of the many really bizaare things to come out of Cooper, et al.
Consider what that means if Greer had been one of the trigger men. That
means that Mrs. Kennedy, Gov. Connally (sp ?) and his wife, plus all the
Secret Service agents surrounding the car were in on this. Civilians
have never been good at keeping secrets. Besides, what did Mrs. K, and
Gov C & Mrs get out of this. Nada, zip, niente!! I don't believe that
Oswald could have made the hit--that stretches my credulity almost as
much as the other scenario of Greer, et al. I'm still convinced after
years of reading and research (and keeping my ears and eyes open and
mouth shut) that it was a professional hit. I still think that Castro
and the Mafia had a lot to do with it. I also believe that the Cuban
refugees that survived the Bay of Pigs were involved.
Well, time to get back to the grindstone--my nose is still too large.
;-)
