Hello Don! Actually, I wasn't implying that the culprits had cracked a
military TTY. Rather, they seem to have cracked a commercial/proprietary
TTY. It's difficult to tell because the text of the teletype doesn't show
from what wire it originated.
Anyway, the teletype was received at the Gulf Breeze Sentinel with a header:
<<ABC NBC CBS AP UPI US Military>>
... or something like that. Since it arrived at a paper, I'm assuming a
commercial newswire. Even so, I'm impressed at someone cracking the UPI or
AP wire -- let alone dedicated military lines!
Suggest you follow the message thread backward about a week or so -- the
plain text of the message in question is quoted in a message from Jim
Speiser.
Best,
Clark

Hi everybody. Has anyone noticed the often disproportionate number of UFO
sightings that are reported around microwave facilities? Radars,
line-of-site TV repeaters, etc.? I'm interested in exploring this avenue
and wonder if anyone in ParaNet-land can help.
I'm looking for people with radar or microwave stories they can tell. I'm
conjuring with the theory that UFOs may have first become really interested
in us when we started fooling around with radar in the 1930s. Thus the "foo
fighters" of the Second World War and related incidents. The timing is
suggestive and, as far as I know, this possibility has been dismissed in
favor of UFO interest in atomic energy experiments during the same time
period.
Have you had UFO encounters or experiences via a radar set? In the course
of working on or around a microwave tower? Do you know someone who has? If
so, I'd be interested in hearing about them.
Thanks in advance for your interest, assistance and experiences/theories.
Please reply via net, or leave email or netmail for me on ParaNet Alpha, at
1-714-985-0666. Correspondence via Internet or bitnet may be possible at a
later date.
Best,
Clark

I'm glad to hear it.

Oh, damn, I threw out that old copy of SHARE I had... I did hear
that there's a loony-right Christian tax-resister publication out
there claiming that the Maitreya was the secret third participant
in the latest Bush-Gorbachev summit! Apparently, he's an old friend
of Gorby's, and involved in a One World Government conspiracy.
According to this guy (whose name escapes me) the plan calls for
Bush's eventual replacement (perhaps with a CIA double? heheheh).
Tell you what. There's a guy here in NYC who will have the
address for both SHARE and this Christian-rightist loony.
Write to:
Peter Lamborn Wilson
The Moorish Orthodox Radio Crusade
c/o WBAI FM
505 Eighth Ave.
Yonkers, NY 10018 <----- check the zip... I may be misremembering it
Send him a copy of Saucer Smear or whatever oddness you have
around the place and you'll be more likely to get a reply.
This guy does a fabulous radio show called 'The Moorish Orthodox
Radio Crusade' every other Monday night-Tuseday morning from 1:00
AM to 3:30 AM, on WBAI FM 99.5. He's had Robert Anton Wilson on
several times in the last year, discusses all sorts of odd stuff
(conspiracy theories, cyberspace, oddball religions and
mythologies), and reviews Xerox 'zines.
Any Paranetters in the metro NY area should endeavor to catch his
program.

You mean you are routinely posting interesting stuff there that never makes
it out to the infopara mailing list?
Aw, shucks, Jim!

Glad to see him doing things again. We lost touch with the
moving and such. Also, lost that board up near his home.

To all UUCP users:
ParaNet welcomes your posts that have been extracted from other
newsgroups. We are also interested in literary contributions as
well. They can be uploaded directly to the digest at
infopara@scicom.alphacdc.com (scicom!infopara) or by sending
them netmail to me at: mcorbin@scicom.alphacdc.com
I will post them as they arrive.
(Moderator's note: quickest means is to post to 'infopara' as this hits
both the digest and 'paranet' hours apart. Mike is in California and
only call here, Colorado, once daily. What he's really saying is post.)
Thanks,
Mike

I have just finished reading Howard Blum's book "Out There."
Very interesting.
Just curious is anyone has any comments about the book.
Some points that I have raised after reading the book deals with
Blum's background and how he was "selected" to become the author
to reveal such things to the public. Some good questions now
come to mind -- How does he differ from others who have been
approached by the "spooks" to reveal secrets to the world
regarding UFOs, such as Linda Howe, Bob Emenegger and others.
Does the book smack of disinformation, or does it contain a fair
share of truth? According to a recent review by Phil Klass in
the Los Angeles Times, Blum is way of mark and the book contains
"many factual errors."

In the early 1970s I and some friends stumbled upon three 'crop circles' in
a stand of weeds at the base of some bluffs along the Mississippi River near
Alton, Illinois. They were 20-30 feet across and exhibited the same kind
of 'woven' pattern that is often described in the English circles, though the
edges were not as clean (perhaps due to the fact that the weeds were much
thicker than stalks of wheat). The place was not easily accessible, and there
was virtually no human traffic except the occasional odd hunter; vehicles were
out of the question. A hoax under such circumstances seems pointless, since
the chances of anyone ever seeing your work and reporting it would be slim.
We considered whirlwinds and herds of deer, but neither seemed very plausible.
We finally tagged it 'unknown' and went on our way.
In retrospect, if forced to make a guess I would probably go back to the
whirlwind theory. Southern Illinois has a lot of tornados both big and small,
and sometimes they are seen skipping over the river bluffs, even out of a clear
sky. And it is well documented that tornados can do some pretty spooky things.
I suspect that at least some of the more mundane English crop circles can
also be attributed to whirlwinds of some sort, whether 'plasma vortices' or
just dust devils.
But these latest markings--perhaps we should call them 'crop glyphs'--are,
indeed, awesome. I saw some videos of them on one of the TV tabloids, and I
was very impressed. Whirlwinds, of course, are completely out of the question.
And if these new markings are the work of hoaxsters, they are damned good,
and almost maniacally industrious. First of all, these markings are huge.
Second, they are extremely complex. Third, they are artistically perfect--
either highly symmetrical (try *that* in a darkened wheat field), or
aesthetically balanced with perfect lines and flawlessly executed angles.
Now for the $64000 question: Do these things bear any resemblance to any of
the known exoglyphs?

Jim, am I correct in assuming that the teletype came to the newspaper?
I've been thinking about this one. Without the full message, including
all headers, it is difficult to determine whether or not the sender
tapped into securenet or not. Tapping into the standard teletype
network is not all that hard to do. But, as has been pointed out,
tapping into the military securenet is not a simple--despite the movies
and some recent phreaking jobs.
I find this message to be interesting enough. Jim, could you describe
the photos? I almost wish the Army hadn't let them go. Bunch of
wimps. ;-)
That's it for me, folks. I'm outta here.
