NEW YORK (AP) -- Astronomers say they have detected the first known
planet outside the solar system, an object that orbits a very dense star and
is perhaps 12 times as massive as Earth.
The report challenges scientists' understanding of how some stars form.
"This object I think is going to require some degree of wild speculation
to explain," said Harvard astronomy professor Ramesh Narayan, who was familar
with the work.
Other researchers have reported apparent detections of planets outside
the solar system before, but some reports have been refuted and none is
widely accepted.
Princeton University physics professor Joseph Taylor said he found the
new report persuasive. "They've got something there that is significant, no
question about it," he said.
David Black, director of the Lunar and Planetary Institute in Houston,
called the study "a good start" toward a convincing case for the planet's
existence.
The detection is reported in Thursday's issue of the British journal
Nature by Andrew Lyne, Matthew Bailes and Setnam Shemar of the University of
Manchester's Nuffield Radio Astronomy Laboratories in Jodrell Bank, England.
"We were very surprised," Lyne said in a telephone interview. The
scientists detected the apparent planet by analyzing radio waves from a very
dense object called a neutron star.
The waves arrive in pulses about three times a second. But scientists
noticed that this highly precise "clock" would run about a hundredth of a
second fast for a while and then about a hundredth of a second slow. The
cycle repeated itself about every six months.
Apparently, the speed-up occurred as the star edged about 1,500 miles
toward Earth and the slowdown when it moved away by the same amount, Lyne
said. The motion is separate from the Earth's orbit around the sun.
The researchers concluded that the star was being pulled to and fro by
the gravitational tug of an unseen planet that orbits it about once every six
months.
They wrote that the planet's mass is perhaps about 10 times that of
Earth, but Lyne said a better guess is 12 times. The planet is probably about
two to three times the diameter of Earth, depending on whether it is rocky
like Earth or gaseous like Jupiter, he said.
It orbits the star about as closely as Venus orbits the sun, which is
about seven-tenths the diameter of Earth's orbit, researchers calculated.
Lyne said it is most unlikely that anything lives on the planet.

Is pleased to announce
publication of
_UFOs and the Alien Presence - Six Viewpoints_
This 240-page quality paperback from the Visitors Investigation Project
brings together, for the first time, the thoughts of several of America's top
UFO researchers in annotated, in-depth interviews conducted durring 1990,
edited and with an introduction by Michael Lindemann. Chapter by chapter,
this book lays out the essential features of the alien presence, as seen
through the eyes of:
Stanton Friedman, the foremost authority on the U.S. govt. cover-up of UFO's
Linda Moulton Howe, the foremost authority on the phenomenon of animal
mutiliation
Budd Hopkins, the foremost authority on alleged alien abduction of human beings
Donald Ware, Eastern Regional Director for the Mutual UFO Network, who
coordinated MUFON's investigation of the Gulf Breeze sightings and who's latest
research is focused on the "larger reality" behind UFO's - the spiritual
implications of the alien presence.
Also included: personal reports of close encounters with aliens and their
technology, as told by:
Bob Lazar, a physicist who says he worked on alien spacecraft for the U.S.
Govt. (the most detailed telling of Lazar's story ever published), and
Tom, an "average citizen" whose life has been touched by the alien presence
again and again.
This new VIP publication will be nationally advertised at the regular price of
$12.95 but you can order yours now at the introductory price of $9.95 - or save

YEs, I have noticed a lot of Alien topics in the media as well, commercials for
Chuckie Cheese's a kiddie pizza parlor, various shows. McGyver had an excellent
show on the topic of aliens. There was a family who's mother was very sick
with a cancer, and some people came to them and told them that they were 'space
brothers' and that if the family gave them all their money, then they would be
able to be taken off the planet to a much better world. McGyver came along and
showed the family how these people were tricking them, (he actually
demonstrated a method of creating an illusion that looked like a common ufo out
of charged methane gas (plasma?)) There was also another character involved in
the show that kept poping in and out wanting to sell everyone Vacuume cleaners.
but at the end of the show they saw a large UFO object take off into the sky,
supposedly picking up that mysterious man who kept appearing at the right
moments to save everyone. And the show ended with McGyver saying 'It sure
makes ya think about it'
I thought that this ending was excellent because it didn't deny the existance
of Alien life on the planet, or show that without a doubt that there were
aliens, but just told people to 'Think' about it.

From what I read of these messages we sure have some informed and inteligent
folks here. Forgive my possible ignorance on this subject but I find it easy to
believe in the exsistance of UFO's. I find it difficult to believe in a
goverment cover up of same. I don't see the logic in a coverup. I would
appriciate hearing some thaughts on this.

Me too. I have 35A72.GIF which is a large picture that shows the face and the
alleged pyramids to the southwest of it. (With enough imagination you can also
see another face to the right of the main face that is a right-side portrait of
an ape or gorilla...) And I have MARSFACE.GIF which is a very grainy blowup.
Then I have 70A13.GIF which seems to show the face and is labeled A, and some
indistinguishable area labelled B on the left of the picture...
So, what's going on?
Thanks, take care.

In an article in the August 1 Gulf Breeze Sentinel, Vicki Lyons of MUFON
wrote that about a dozen people saw the "red light" UFO hovering over the
Bob Sikes (Three Mile) Bridge at about 9:15 p.m. Friday, July 26.
The sighting lasted a few minutes, and ended when the UFO brightened to
white and disappeared.
Believe it or not, Ed Walters was driving across the bridge at
approximately that time.

Oh yes, Little Timmy Bennett is real, and I had the dubious pleasure of
meeting him very briefly at the LA Expo West several months ago. However the
trip he made to Dulce, and all the fresh air he must have breathed did nothing
for the fog that must encompass his mind.
Timmy used to access ParaNet until it was learned that Timmy "could not work
or play well with others"....... at which time he was sent home. )-:

Subject: A request for a glossary of terms.
I have been having trouble understanding what some people
are saying lately regarding 'gray' aliens because it seems
as though each person has a different meaning when they
speak of 'The Grays.' Would it be a good idea for ParaNet
to form a glossary of terms so that it is more clear
what is being said?
The first one for me would be 'Grays.'
Let's look at Webster's definition for insight
(with appropriate apologies).
Webster's 7th Collegiate Dictionary, Copyright (C) 1963 by Merriam-Webster,
Inc. No part of this information may be copied or reprinted without the
express written consent of the publisher.
1. gray \'gra-\ aj [ME, fr. OE gr<a-e>-g; akin to OHG gra-o gray, OSlav
z]ibreve>rebreve>ti to see 1: of the color gray; also : dull in color 2:
having the hair gray : HOARY 3: clothed in gray 4: dull in mood or outlook
5: bordering on black-market practices - gray.ly av
2. gray n 1: something (as a horse, garment, cloth, spot) of a gray color
2: a neutral or achromatic color ranging between black and white
3. gray vt : to make gray to become gray
4. gray n (slang) 1: any of the many extra-terrestrials that like to turn
cows inside out and drink hormones instead of Gatorade. 2: evil
conspirators responsible for all that is bad in the world. 3: any
person in a body-stocking posing as a friend of the President.
4: anyone holding a ray-gun.
Gee. Such a broad range of meanings!!!
So that single individuals needn't do all the work, perhaps
the moderators could 'farm out' certain words for inclusion
and then simply edit them to suit uniformity. I'm sure that
readers have many ideas of their own for words to be included.
People can therefore just post them with a defining
sentence/paragraph. Everyone else can then pick it
apart and say what a great/lousy definition it is.
This could include a brief paragraph about certain events such
as Gulf Breeze, or George Adamski, etc.--perhaps that would need
to be of a point-counterpoint format.
I mean this in complete seriousness. The black and white text of mail
messages makes it hard enough to read postings since one cannot
always discern the tone of the writer. Ever-changing word
meanings add too much confusion.
After the definition standards have been established, penalties
for misuse would be for a skeptic to have to listen to a believer
for 1 hour, and vice versa. Kind of like the rat in 1984.

+
+ On July 17 the largest and most extraordinary of all pictograms
+appeared in a wheatfield below Barbury Castle, an Iron age hill-fort
+near Swindon. Nothing had been in the field at Barbury Castle at 9 p.m
+the previous evening when local pilot had flown over it .The formation
+consists of an enormous equilateral triangle (with side of about 180 ft)
+which encloses a doubly-ringed circle. Rings are widely separated
+and each about 7 ft wide. Each angle of the triangle is bisected by
+pathways leading from the centre of the formation to circular designs,
+each different, beyond each apex. One design is a plain ring (38 ft diam).
+The second is a ring of similar size like a flower with six petals.
+The third is a spiral which opens out in six steps, like a ratchet,
+each time it turns through 90 degrees; this is of similar size to the
+other designs.
+
+ Obviously Meaden's theory that the circles are caused by a naturally
+occurring atmospheric vortex could not possibly survive acceptance of
+this great geometric design as the genuine phenomenon, and the next
+day he made a statement to the media to the effect that he believed it
+a hoax. This was inevitable. However all the other researchers are in
+complete agreement that the pictogram is genuine and represents yet
+another stage in the evolution of this bizarre phenomenon. Apart from
+physical characteristics being the same, the dowsing reactions in the
+pictogram are very strong and definite. The whole formation seems to
+be charged with an almost tangible energy.
+
+A keen circles watcher had been cropwatching with two friends at
+Beckhampton at about midnight when they had seen a pulsing light
+moving silently across the sky. During the course of the next hour
+they saw five more such objects, some white and some pulsing green,
+red and white. All were silent though at times they seemed
+comparatively close to where they stood. At one time a dark object
+flew swiftly and silently overhead, blotting out the stars.
+The three were quite frightened by this strange display, and
+likened what they'd seen to a sequence from 'Close Encounters of
+the Third Kind'. Some of their sightings were in the direction
+of Barbury Castle which is just five miles away, but at the time
+of telling this story were quite unaware of what had been found
+in the fields.
+
+ Other reports are still being received of anomalous lights in the
+sky in that area on that night. In the morning two other pictograms
+were also found within about three miles of the magnificent one at
+Barbury Castle. On the following night it is reported that Wroughton,
+a town about two miles away, was shaken by a loud aerial explosion
+which caused all the lights to go out, and cars failed to start.
+The area rapidly filled with army vehicles which appeared to be looking
+for something, but the power soon came back on again and normality was
+restored.
+
+ What is going on in this part of Wiltshire ???

For any of you that have read Timothy Good's excellent work "Above
Top Secret" perhaps you will remember the section concerning a
young Air Force lieutenant who was part of a special Air Force
Squadron detailed to fly special photo reconnaissance missions, to
film UFOs. Good used the pseudonym "Mel Noel". Some of you know his
real name, Guy Kirkwood.
Guy Kirkwood is a friend of mine, and I feel he has advanced the
cause of UFOlogy by his very courageous admissions. Guy lives in
San Diego, Ca. and now owns a custom automobile body business.
Two weeks ago while working on one of his auto's, there was an
explosion in his work place that badly burned Guy with second and
third degree burns over the back of his body. Guy has been in the
burn unit in intensive care since then. Thankfully he is in the
process of recovering, and to help this process he has undergone a
number of skin graft operations. I have spoken to Guy on the phone
a couple of times, and he would appreciate hearing from one or all
of you. If you can take a couple of minutes out of your schedule,
send Guy a get well note, he would sure appreciate it. The
following is his address.
Guy Kirkwood
