Well Mike, from what I've been able to find out from other sources
is that this object seems to have the ability to change course and
speed. Which means it could be under intelligent control. Or simply
a Unidentified Flying object. From what I'd heard is that there is
more to SS433 then what the public is being told. If you would like,
I will discontinue my discussion on this object in your echo if so
desired. 73's ---Jim---

> Sensational usless information.
You're right, ABC presented zippo information.
About the red lights. They've been see in the area for quite a
while. An old fisherman said "decades."
The lights have been seen to move fast, hold still, and slowly move
to windward. Rules out balloons, and too fast for a blimp. No other
lights, such as running lights, and no sound.
I apparently saw one in the early '80's, about 200 miles east of
Pensacola. I recall thinking it was rather strange at the time, but
many of the descriptions from Pensacola fit what I saw.
Dim red light, no other lights, moving slowly southward up high,
then moving faster until out of sight. No sound. At the time I'd been
very used to seeing mil. jets and Customs/CG choppers at night, and it
didn't appear to match any of those.
Other lights at Pensacola. A few people have reported seeing
fast-moving luminous blue-white globes, sometimes apparently fairly
low.

A post on CI$ quoted the initial AP report as saying that two
airline pilots reported (by radio) to the FAA that they saw the thing
moving slowly and changing direction over the New York City area. A
later AP report didn't mention the pilots but quoted the meteor
scenario.
We saw a report from LIUFON here about an incident that apparently
happened about the same time.
Another person on CI$ said that a couple of his employees in NYC
told him they saw it *hover*.
A little bleep in yesterdays newspaper mentioned another meteor
moving east-west over Michigan.
Getting odd!

I have a firsthand report from a retired USMC Colonel (engineer) who
saw a "fireball" from the North Carolina Outer Banks in the mid-'50's.
The fireball was seen from NC up to Maine, and apparently was
reported in many newspapers.
He said that what he saw was a brilliant white light that moved from
horizon to horizon in about ten seconds in apparently level flight,
and was so bright that a distinct shadow was cast by a lit Coleman
lantern. He said it didn't leave any trail or have a tail, and that he
didn't believe it was a meteor.
The witness is definitely a qualified observer.
Sounds very similar to the recent "meteor" report.

This type of crap has been going on since the beginning of recorded history and
will continue till the end of time. Most everyone can smell this type of
advertising or phoney literature for what it is, right away. Others just take
a bit longer to catch on...unless they are simply curious as to how sick a
group of individuals can be. No harm in looking an laughing at such nonsense,
just to see how little we have all progressed throughout time. But you are
right in saying, that the buck stops with one's wallet. Never let them get the
edge on ya, by scoring a victory over your hard-earned money. Only through
refusing to give into such 'mail order scams' disguised as "revelation
information services" can we hit them back where it hurts most.

By all means, no. Please discuss this in this echo. I am really curious
about it. Can you cite some source material for the strange behavior you
mention?
Thanks for the reply.

To Michael Corbin,
You posted several articles about solar flare activity in the last
newsletter. I have several questions about flares and I was
wondering if you could answer them. First, I guess I would ask
why you think it was important enough to post. I'm not being
critical, just asking. I also read these postings on the NET
and found it hard to get anything out of them since I didn't
have any experience following the reports. Could you address
the following?
How often do flares occur? And is frequency related to the
eleven year cycle of the sun?
What do the class ratings mean? Class M or X?
The most recent reports seemed to have many words like 'very,'
'exceptional,' and "major." What was unusual about that alert?
What is a typical intensity of a flare and what is exceptional?
What is UT (Universal Time?) with respect to EST?
One alert had statements like:
'Type II sweep frequency event...' "No sweeps were recorded..."
What do these statements mean?
What is a coronal mass ejection, and what are its implications?
It sounds exciting.
What is shock speed?
'S23E90 (or slightly beyond the east limb)' What is the map of sun?
What is a flare that is 'optically uncorrelated'?
What is a s.f.u. ?
What of proton events? I work with solar cells and know that they often
suffer their worst radiation damage from protons and especially from
solar flares. Are there other implications besides solid state
radiation damage?
Is the following unusual?
+ PLEASE NOTE!! If the region(s) responsible for this major flaring
+ continues to produce major flares over the coming week, potentially high
+ terrestrial impacts could occur. Persons, organizations, and/or researchers
+ who might be affected by the major flaring should take note of this and pay
+ close attention for future major flare alerts and possible terrestrial
+ impacts (ie. magnetic storming) later this week. It is possible that this
+ region could quite literally blow itself out before it begins to enter the
+ area capable of producing terrestrial impacts. More will be known in the
+ next 24 to 48 hours as the region(s) present themselves for closer
+ examination.
I know this is an awful lot so if you have a reference I can find,
that would suffice. Thanks.
Greg

From: chalmers@violet.berkeley.edu (John H. Chalmers Jr.)
Robert Forward, a physicist specializing
in gravitational theory and 'hard SF' writer (Dragon's Egg and
sequel), has described an antigravity device consisting of a
toroidal coil with an ID of about 100 meters. If the mass
of a neutron star were to flow through the windings of the
coil every millisecond, the magnetic analog of the gravitational
field ('protational' or gravitational magnetic field) would neutralize
gravity in the center of the coil. The reason for the enormous
masses and velocities required is the low value of the
gravitational coupling constant (about 40 orders of magnitude
less than the strong nuclear or EM) and the low permeability
of space to the field.
Physicists at Stanford and elsewhere are planning experiments
on a satellite in the next decade to test for the existence of
the protational field (as I remember by the precession of orthogonal
gyroscopes).
Given what is known about electrodynamics and the
above, I'm rather skeptical about low power toroidal magnetic
fields' causing warps in space-time. However, a working model
would go a long way toward convincing me. ---- John

It seems to me that the Kirimukuyu incident could be explained
by your usual bloodthirsty types dropping Napalm from planes or
choppers. Africa has had its share of this sort of thing. Did
I miss something?
As to the disappearance of the British regiment, I would like to offer one
possible explanation ... Their commander tried to take advantage
of the fog bank to try and go around behind his objective. They got
lost, got behind enemy lines, and were wiped out. The British suffered
immense casualties in that campaign, and not every single man killed
could be accounted for. Does that hold water?

I am not too sure that we can dismiss balloons yet. I recall that there was
something done with balloons there about a year ago as a joke. From what I
could see, the red light was not strange, but appeared to be simply a red
light not displaying any type of maneuvers which could be considered out of
the ordinary.

"Sky and Telescope" SKYLINE 91-03-08
A big story this past week was a brilliant fireball that grazed the
Earth's atmosphere early on Wednesday March 6th. Witnesses from West
Virginia to Maine saw the dazzling, multi-coloured object at about
02:55 EST. One said it resembled a giant scud missile. An airline
pilot near Philadelphia called it the mother of all meteors, well
whatever. Reliable sightings note that the blazing fireball took up
to 30 seconds to fly across the sky. That makes this an unusually low
velocity object, in many ways similar to a blazing daylight fireball
that appeared over the Rockies in 1972. No one has yet found any
meteorites delivered by Wednesday's passage, and perhaps no one ever
will. According to Walt Webb, of Boston's Museum of Science, the
witnesses he has spoken to all say the meteor was visible to the east
or south thus chances are that any falling pieces dropped in the
Atlantic ocean. Conceivably, the object simply slipped in and out of
the atmosphere before moving on into interplanetary space.
The Moon is now gone from the early evening sky, so you might want
to track down comet Levy, 1990c, before it gets to faint to observe.
For what it is worth, this week the comet will drag itself back north
of the celestial equator for the first time since last August. Here
are its positions for zero hours UT and equinox 2000 co-ordinates: On
Mar. 10th, R.A. 8:54, Dec. -2.6; on the 13th, 8:48, Dec. -0.7; on the
16th, R.A. 8:42, Dec. 1.1.
Two planets are hugging the horizons these days. Mercury is on its
way to a nice apparition, later this month and right now, you can find
it due west after sunset to the lower right of Venus. Saturn is
emerging from dawn's glare in the east and on Mar. 12th, it will be
very close to a thin crescent Moon. French astronomers, who have
looked at Saturn since its recent conjunction, report that two large
ovals are visible along the planets equator.
On the evening of the 16th, you will have a chance to spot a very
young Moon. Look for it 15 to 30 minutes after sunset to the lower
right of Venus and Mercury. The Moon will be only 15 hours old, as
seen from the east coast, and 18 hours from the west.
Finally, NASA is inviting the public to help pick names for some
4000 new craters and volcanos on Venus that are being discovered by
the Magellan orbiter. By established convention, the planet's
landforms commemorate notable women, but not political or military
figures, who have been dead for at least three years. Send your
submissions to: Venus Names, Magellan Project, Jet Propulsion
Laboratory, Pasadena, California, 91109. Include dates of birth and
death, and a short rational for your choice.
That is it for this week.

POTENTIAL GEOMAGNETIC STORM WARNING
/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\
Issued: 19:00 UT, 09 March
Geomagnetic Storm Warning
-------------
ATTENTION:
Minor geomagnetic storming has begun over the high latitude regions
recently. This activity has spread a bit further south than was
originally anticipated. Middle latitude geomagnetic activity became
active to very active between 14:00 UT and 18:00 UT. Activity at the
present time (18:30 UT) has calmed down somewhat, although periods of
active to very active conditions over middle latitudes are expected to
continue for the next 24 to 48 hours.
There is a risk of brief periods of middle latitude MINOR
geomagnetic storming. No major storming will occur. Most of the
activity should be below minor storm levels. Magnetic K-indices of
4 and 5 are expected over the middle latitudes. Middle latitude
magnetic A-indices could reach 32.
High latitudes will experience low to moderate intensity minor
storming over the next 24 to 48 hours. K-indices of 5 will be dominant.
Isolated brief major storming may occur over some locations with estimated
K-indices between 5 and 7. High latitude A-indices could exceed 40.
Auroral activity will be most intense over the high latitude auroral
zone. Some southward migration of the auroral oval is possible over the
next 24 to 48 hours. High latitudes will experience mostly moderate
auroral activity with some possible bursts of high activity during
substorm periods. Northerly middle latitudes will witness low to
moderate auroral activity. Central middle latitudes could witness low
activity while southerly middle latitudes and low latitudes will not
experience any auroral activity. This could change, however, if major
flaring continues.
The lower latitude limit for observing auroral activity in the U.S.
will range between approximately 42 N for the eastern U.S. to 44 N for
the western U.S. during the evening hours. No significant auroral
storming is expected, although localized active periods could materialize.
Polar and auroral radio paths will experience increased fading and
absorption due to the increased geomagnetic and auroral activity which
has occurred recently. Auroral flutter will dominate polar and high
latitudes, particularly during the local evening hours. High and
northerly middle latitude VHF auroral backscatter communications may
become possible during the late afternoon hours and again near local
midnight.
A geomagnetic storm alert will be posted if middle latitude magnetic
activity surpasses storm level thresholds.
