Jim, the opinion you have expressed here about remote viewing is
clearly at odds with the scholarly work performed on the subject.
The evidence is overwhelmingly in favor of a conclusion that remote
viewing is a real effect observed many times by reputable scientists
under proper experimental protocols.

One service that this forum is really useful for is letting people know
when TV or Radio shows are going to be aired on subjects that are of
interest like field circles, UFOs, etc. I would encourage those who
get advanced information would post it so that as many people as possible
can tune in.

You've probably already seen this, but here it is anyway. It's from page 13
of Timothy Good's 'Above Top Secret' (as quoted on p. 362 of Ed Conroy's
'Report on Communion'):
Official investigation into unidentified flying objects in comparatively
recent times began in 1933 when, according to contemporary newspaper
reports, mysterious aircraft appeared over Scandinavia and, to a lesser
extent, the US and Britain. Often seen flying in hazardous weather
conditions which would have grounded conventional aircraft of the period,
the 'ghost aircraft' (as they were called) frequently circled low,
projecting powerful searchlights on to the ground. Another puzzling
feature was that although engine noises accompanied the sightings, the
aircraft sometimes described low-level maneuvers in complete silence.
Good luck with your research!

Brian, read my two part series entitled "The Whistleblowers" in
UFO Magazine. Part One in Vol. 5 No. 4, and Part Two in Vol. 5
No. 5.
UFO Magazine is at
1800 S. Robertson Blvd. #355
Los Angeles, CA 90035
The cost for one years subscription is $18.00, foreign subs are
$26.00, and single issues are $3.00 plus $1.25 postage.
Cooper is a fraud, cut and dried. In MY opinion it is a money
scam to enrich Cooper. If you wish to spend money on UFO
material, there are many better areas to spend it.

I saw the CNN news report about the enormous design found in the
desert, too. I don't recall anything about people finding survey
markers. In fact, I believe the reporter said that no one had any
clues to its origin. One person put forth the theory that it was
produced by an American SDI weapon as a test of accuracy.

Yes. Very interesting piece that they presented. I would be
interested in knowing more about the alleged trajectory that the
program stated the object took where it seemed to make a couple
of "controlled" turns. Also, the blue light that it emitted.
Would that be characteristic of a space capsule?

Stan, I wasn't aware that there was a reliable way to convert binary files
to ASCII. Please tell me more about these programs!
But I must ask, even if it is possible to convert binary to ASCII and back
again, why not use a good error-checking protocol during the file transfer
and eliminate the error potential of sending a clear ASCII file? Anything
from Xmodem to Kermit to Zmodem should do nicely.
Please let me know about the conversion program!
Many thanks,

I still have some teletype messages from years ago. They fade fast. The
paper I was familiar with was a cream or yellowish newsprint, there are
usually RED and Black characters. The width is non-standard. The printing is
lousy and not very well aligned. Just a few things to look for. I suppose I
should photo copy them before they disappear completely. One is the wire
story of the new break on the shootings at Kent State, another is the
announcement of the Beatles breakup. (hey I'm a collector!) Some others are
less notable. I was designated teletype reader at the time, and the machine
was out of paper, disconnected, or broken often. Also played on a machine at
the local Milwaukee paper in 1968-9 a couple of times. Things have changed
for the better.

I'm not sure of the content of the original message, but as in Crash Go The
Chariots, most people don't pay attention or have interest in the facts when
they refute the claims. As for the Bermuda Triangle it's been bashed and
crashed with solid evidence numerous times including a very good NOVA show
that covers a few topics. Also have seen evidence as to the origin of the
"Lost Squadron" article in a mag. that started the whole thing. The facts
were made from fiction in people using a fiction/adventure story to start
their research. So as far as I can see, the whole thing is based on a false
premise. I was working in a bookstore and read (hope the bos isn't reading
this) probably six books about The BT Mystery in 1969 or 70. They all altered
the definition of the area to match the story they wrote.
It is the age old problem of bad information leading to more bad
information, and each one using the previous as the authoritative source.
Once again this relates to UFO study because it involves Valid Research, Real
Sighting, Cover-up of documentation, Kooks, crazys, and all other variations.
How does one sort the real from the creative evidence? It's a tough question.

Just a note that there was a MI-6 (and probably others) in British
Intellegence in the 40's at least, maybe even years after. There was a
designation MAGIC for the decoding of ENIGMA machine messages. Could be a
conflict and why nothing ever comes back from requests. Much of the OSC or is
it BSC information is still classified. Just stumbled across this last
evening while reading.

I was in a used bookstore the other day and found a paperback copy of "Beyond
Earth: Man's Contact With UFOs" written by Ralph Blum with Judy Blum. Anyone
know if there's any relation to the Blum who authored "Out There"?
Ralph Blum was born in 1932, educated at Harvard and the U. of Leningrad. In
1971 he married Judy Henson from England.
As a sidenote, the Blum's of Beyond Earth state " We predict that by 1975 the
government will release definite proof that extraterrestrials are watching us."
Guess I missed it :-)

I also vaguely recall reading about government-sponsored remote
viewing experiments that were termed as promising. More than 10 years
ago. Don't remember any other details.

Shoot, I don't know.
I vaguely remember Carl Sagan doing some kind
of workup in one episode of Cosmos in which he started with the
estimated number of stars within a certain distance and, using small
percentages, concluded that there are probably millions of planets
populated with intelligent, technological beings. (what a paragraph!)
Probably talking about the same thing.
As for Blum's figures, I
didn't notice, but I wasn't particularly looking at them either.
Remember, no known newsman has passed algebra. ;-)

Subject: CROP CIRCLES
Date: 22 Sep 90 08:21:00 GMT
I was wondering if anyone has considered that perhaps the "Crop
Circles" may be a manipulation at the cellular level? On a recent
television show, (sorry, the particular broadcast escapes me) showed a
very interesting configuration of certain cellular structure within the
circles as compared to plants outside the affected area. And again I
apologize for not remembering the exact cellular structures affected.
However, from the information I gathered there, and a theory that may
be plausible, is that the plants are being manipulated at the cellular
level. The manner in which the plants bend over without harm is very
similar to a plants natural ability to follow the Sun during the day.
I suggest that perhaps there is a very strong energy field that is in
effect causing the individual plants to follow a natural pattern of
growth. Granted, this energy so far has not been visible, but plants
are affected by light in the non visible spectrum. Another question I
have is what species of plants and what exact varieties are most
affected? I've heard wheat fields from most reports, but there are
dozens of varieties many genetically engineered. If it shows to be
specific varieties, a "smoking gun" could be found! I feel this may be
a message waiting to be read, and by looking into very specific
information of the plant varieties and farming methods of the affected
areas, perhaps a piece of the puzzle may come into place. What does
everyone here think?

Beg to ask your definition of expensive. If you already have a PC,
you can get a card for around $100. Of course your radio to hook

if you've already got a SW receiver and a computer, cost is only
around $100...
