Yes I did, Greg and thanks for sending it..I called that BBS number
you left and have managed to get some files. I just posted the entire
book of "Cry of The Phoenix" to alt.alien.visitors. I've also talked
to Rick, the Sysop of the Phoenix Liberator BBS and he's sending me
some stuff via snail mail.
I had been meaning to send you some email via uucp but your message

Quite sad, isn't it? Yet amoung the muck and mire of the conspiritoids,
one must stand firm that there IS valid data and research work going
on...despite the interjections of some pseudo-sensationalizers. :)
Thank goodness ParaNet has been able to weather the usual
merry-go-round tabloid reposts better than most. I have seen other
network conferences sink into that 'new-age' slush puppy state, where
nothing credible could be further discussed or explored rationally.

I don't have all the references in front of me, but here's what I've
gleaned from my readings over the years.
Spy satellites are managed out of the National Reconnaissance Office,
which is one of the most super-secret agencies of the U.S. government.
Officially they don't even exist; they publish nothing, they talk to no
one; and if there are things which show up on their pictures that don't
belong there, they certainly aren't going to tell the public about it.
Weather satellites generally are way too high to see anything smaller
than a major city. Even if they did show something unexpected, chances
are that nobody would notice it anyway--after all, they're trained to
look for large-scale weather patterns, not alien spacecraft.
NORAD radar apparently does pick up very large numbers of what they
call 'uncorrelated targets'; according to their FOIA responses over the
years, there have been literally millions of these. Since their
apparent trajectories and speeds do not line up with those of the
intended targets--i.e., incoming ballistic missiles--the computers are
programmed to ignore them.
Ground-based astronomical observations do in fact record lots of
strange tracks and lights. Most are dismissed as meteors, aircraft, or
birds. The rest are ignored by scientists who are afraid of being
tagged as a 'UFO nut'. Jacques Vallee, one of the all-time greats in
Ufology, got his start as a UFO investigator when he observed fellow
astronomers destroying records of inexplicable sightings that had shown
up during routine observations.
Overall, I think it's a grave mistake to assume that there's nothing
going on just because we haven't heard about it.

I'll second Larry's posting regarding the black aircraft.
Keep in mind that the SR-71 is '50s technology, and that the F-117 is
early '70s technology.
If things like the MJ-12 document describe are factual, then any current
black aircraft program is likely to lead an investigator straight to
UFO's.
Yet, investigators typically pooh-pooh looking for them...
Why is that? Is it because they are afraid the government would have
a good case to shut them down? Why would it be any different from
exploring UFO data?
Or is it because terrestrial based ufo's wouldn't be sexy enough?
Personally, I think the two types of vehicles, terrestrial and extra,
are tied together with baling wire.
Enquiring minds want to know...

So post it as fiction and let us decide for ourselves if there is any

Personally, I'm dubious of manned flights to Mars (even one) in the
early 50s. This is not because I don't wish we had done so, but
merely because our technology at that time was not capable of
supporting such a mission, as far as I know. Shoot, our metalurgy
couldn't even support the building of a supersonic bomber at the time,
let alone a spacecraft capable of supporting a manned mission to
another planet in our solar system.
However, if you have something that could show otherwise, even if it
isn't well documented, please let us know. Often just a scrap of
information is better than none at all. There are some very dogged
investigators out there who have worked with far less.

That's a problem I always have in Fido UFO. Once I get rid of some of the
space brothers, others crop up; there's so much noise, it's difficult for
anyone to carry on a rational conversation.

As for spy satellites not seeing black triangles, I would remind you (Pete)
that the greater the resolution, the smaller the area covered. To see
a hat on someone's head, even with computer enhancement, and even,
someday, application of recent advances in astronomical image deconvolution
(I have done some of this,) the picture probably would not cover much more
than a square mile. Try observing the entire Earth on a detail like this,
and you will take a century to map, and you really have to map all areas
simultaneously.
Now, why do I mention Mejugorge? No reason, except I didn't want to
write two postings.
MEDJUGORJE- A recent historical account of this phenomenon, completely
objective, appears in Anthropological Quarterly, April, 1990 63:2. I don't
have the page numbers on me right now. It is mostly background information,
but it has great depth, for those who may be interested.
Note to Doug Rogers: Relevance of MEDJUGORJE to UFOs and Paranormal is only
in its implications on considerations of the role of hysteria, hallucination,
power of belief, etc in UFO and other paranormal phenomena.
By the way, Paranet is PARAnet, not UFOnet. There does not have to
be a direct tie in to supposedly folklore-independent scientific UFO
research.

Regarding the ozone layer and the Billy Meier case:
----------------------------------------------------
The initial contact in question took place on March 2, 1975, according
to Meier's notes. The somewhat rough and awkward translation from the
original German contact notes reads as follows:
Semjase: 'For many tens of years we have been studying all spheres of
your world. The ceaseless change goes on, and too there are dangerous
developments. For many years a dangerous change has been taking place
in your stratosphere that has a deadly portent for all earthly life.
An increasing decay in the ozone belt of the stratosphere is being
caused by the continuous production of ozone-destroying substances
that rise as gas into the stratosphere and damage the ozone belt.
Especially destructive is the brom* gas that rises into the ionosphere
and slowly disintegrates it. Up to now the average loss is 6.38
percent. That is a percentage loss that for all life forms is damaging
and beginning to cause mutations. This percentage was reached in a
time of 60 years only. Especially there are the brom gas substances
that slowly destroy the ozone belt as I have mentioned. Because of
that more and more ultraviolet rays from the sun come into the
atmosphere. They will affect all life forms. In over 20 different
areas the ozone belt is already dangerous. In 3 different areas there
is a danger that it will break up completely in a few tens of years if
the production and release of the destructive factors is not arrested.
If this is not done by some means, holes will be opened in the
protective shield and the unshielded ultraviolet rays will break into
your atmosphere and produce slow, tortuous death for all life.
Everything entering the unshielded area from the hole (in the
ionosphere) will be destroyed.
'Release of the destructive chemical substances comes mainly from
explosion motors [internal-combustion engines] and from material-
destroying processes of all kinds, like atom-splitting and other
processes like that. They have been produced in great mass since i945
throughout the whole world and every kind of life is being given a
changing kick. Destructive chemical gases are also being released from
things of daily life because each aerosol spray can releases brom gas
and other chemicals. They rise into the stratosphere and slowly but
systematically destroy it.
'Researchers and scientists in several countries are discovering this
destructive loss of the ozone belt caused by chemicals, especially the
brom gases, but now in their own unaccountable delusion for power are
turning (this knowledge) to war technical use. Just recently they are
preparing to build rocket bodies to carry these destructive brom
substances high into the stratosphere to be exploded (there),
following which very gigantic holes will be rent in the ozone belt
letting unfiltered ultraviolet rays into the atmosphere. Such a hole
can close up again only very slowly and this process will take many
hundreds of years after these activities are discontinued. Also to be
considered is the fact that ozone belt wanders as it circulates. A
hole in the protective ozone layer will not only affect a particular
area but its wandering will affect a very wide area. Your scientists
are aware of this situation, but the population at large is not.
'The duty of your group is to bring this to the attention of
governments and scientists and make them aware of the dangers and the
need for control. It is in the interest of all humanity and all life
on earth that there be agreements between all countries to stop this
deadly insanity. In this respect I refer you to Mr. Michael McElroy of
Harvard University in the United States who is among the foremost
researchers on the subject.'
Meier made a copy of this communication and mailed it to McElroy at
Harvard as instructed. He never received a reply, but the letter also
never came back.
* Re: 'brom' -- bromine is one of the four halogen gases -- the other
three being chlorine, fluorine and iodine. Whether 'brom' means
bromine specifically or whether the word refers to the halogens in
general I don't know. It is known now that bromine gas is in fact one
of the more ozone-destroying byproducts of industrial and other
activity.

Sheldon:
I just received a wad of letters and zines from England. Very
interesting. It seems that things are falling apart quite rapidly. Some
researchers appear to have suggested that Wingfield made up all the
scandalous background on Bower and Chorley, including the MBF story. Further,
B/C have been getting harrassed by cerealogists and even threatened because
of their claims. CCCS has published a statistical analysis of Chorost's paper
about radioactivity at crop circle sites. Not good news for Mike. All of
the sites he sampled were proven or suspected hoaxes except one. His
statistics themselves were awry, and his sampling techniques were poor, to
say the least. Very, very damaging. It seems that CERES, CCCS, BUFORA and
various other groups are really going at it with tooth and nails. Cerealogy
and ufology in general is going to be suffering because of all this.
I have a theory that I think is supported
by the crop circle and UFO data thus far. I'm going to publish it in a major
zine, so I don't want to spill the beans just yet until I work out the
details, but my idea is basically that: - crop circles are not a new
phenomenon - if we eliminate hoaxes, there are the same number of crop
circles reported each year - real crop circles are nothing more than what
have been described as saucer nests - the numbers and complexity of crop
circles is a reaction by hoaxers to publicity - crop circles are not unique
to England - the crop circle phenomenon did not start in England in 1980
This position seems quite reasonable. It
would appear that the circle phenomenon in England has been contaminated by
hoaxers, and it is necessary to look at UGMs in history and everywhere else
in the world in order to get a grasp of the phenomenon.
Now, =that= should get the BBS's humming.

Did you know about Gene Savoy's discovery which links Peru with
Ophir? About two years ago Savoy found some large stone tablets or
stele in a cave near the Chachapoyas village in Peru (a race of
white people amid the Indian natives, though they're now
intermingled to "tea colored" he says) and Savoy says the stele bear
the inscription linking them to Solomon and Ophir. He speculates
that Peru was actually the location of the land of Ophir where
Solomon got so much of his gold. Savoy is an "explorer" and not an
archaeologist, but he has had an ancient languages expert examine
the writings and says his original contention is correct. If you
would like to contact Savoy, you can reach him through the
Explorer's Club in Reno, Nevada. Let me know if you need an address
or want more info on Ophir... I know it was just a sidelight in your
message but thought you might be interested in the addendum.

Hello Mike,
I saw the tape too, a pre-release copy. I don't want to
step on Don's review in UFO Magazine (not sure when that will come
out) but I'm going to be very eager to see what he says [Don, will
you be posting that review or part of it here?] about the tape.
I found it very interesting. It had a lot of detail and
explanation of the propulsion used by UFOs, with a sort of cram
course for physics for those of us who're not experts in that area.
Whether it's credible or not, I couldn't say. It's persuasive,
certainly.
Have you found the tape yet? What's the asking price on it?
I've loaned my copy to a radio host who is going to try to
get Lazar on his show to discuss this story in more detail. If he
does arrange this, I'll post a message here so everyone can listen

Here's another one for you. Although the titles don't seem to apply, the
theory and practice do fit with psychics and paranormal endevors. "Cult
Archaeology and Creationism" a collection of authors. Feder and Williams are
two who contributed. Alice Kehoe (from Milwaukee hey), Laurie Godfrey, Thomas
Gray, Francis Harrold, Luanne Hudson, William Stiebing Jr., and others. Most
of them are anthropologists.
They discuss pseudoscientific (spurious claims), and cult following of of
rejected ideas which almost become religious following. I think this is very
well related to UFO's, paranormal, Crop Circles and the like.

It's a *newsgroup* on Usenet. Usenet is "news" that is carried
on the Internet network. A "Newsgroup" is just a "message area".
There are well over 1000 newsgroups on Usenet. You can access
Usenet through public accessible Unix dialups, or certain BBS's
that carry a pass-through of some of the newsgroups.
If you will leave me your area code and your phone number here, I
