+ I'm the fair rogue that posted the 'Rainbow messages'..but nowhere
+ did I even suggest they were to be taken as the gospel truth. I seem
+ to recall imploring all those who would read to NOT take them at face
+ value. They were posted for those who would DO investigation on the
+ included list of alleged Jason group members. No one has asked a single
+ person to blindly believe anything, which I hope on _this_ network
+ people would do some research as opposed to just following the words
+ of established 'experts'.
My message wasn't to you personally (though it may have seemed that way);
it was addressed to the source of the article, whoever that may be. I of
course missed the first couple chapters becauase of mail problems.
+ ...has been uppermost in mind that a forged address isn't all that hard
+ to engineer if you know the techniques; this may or may not be less
+ realistic from a milnet site.
It's trivial on any UNIX I know of.
+ It's a trifle EASY thing to say that the text was 'Bullshit'. Is that
+ more preferable than trying to prove it's validity via the Jason
+ Group listing of the members themselves; or is the issue that makes
+ people declare it 'bullshit' because of the mention of "Alt 3" where
+ it's dismissed upon reading such? Or is it that something like this
+ sends ripples across our agreed-upon reality that neither the
+ Philadelphia Experiment nor Alternative 3 are held to be 'True'?
I think I paid a reasonable amount of attention to it. I don't believe that
I declared it bullshit out of hand... But you must admit that the format makes
the content much much harder to take objectively. It is disorganized enough
to have been written by machine. Did you ever read the label on Dr.
Brommer's Pure-Castle Soap? Check this out sometime, if you can find it.
The real question here is this: how much of the rainbow article is
verifiable? How much of it will be verified? The way I see it, even if
every buzzword and catchphrase in that morass is true, it is STILL harmful to
the cause of those who believe in Other Life, because its format makes it so
utterly unbelieveable. Even if you were gullible enough to believe the
logic, much of which is questionable at best.

The item seen on the NBC newscast is thought to be something other
than Aurora, by those actively exploring the subject. Aurora is likely
an advanced ramjet with hypersonic speed capability. What NBC showed
was described as a 'disk' that moved slowly and hovered by the cameraman
who saw it. (Not to mention that the Aurora doesn't hover...)
Timber Wind is thought to be a nuclear powered craft that utilizes a directed
thrust and I didn't see any evidence of thrust (or incandescent gas)
on the object that I saw in the NBC piece.
No, this seems to be some evidence that maybe Bob Lazar isn't quite
as flaky as people might think.
Comments, anyone? Maybe the route to UFO confirmation is via exploration
and investigation of the Black projects in the desert.

In Article #3771, crago_l@cubldr.colorado.edu---whomever you are,
sir or madame---made a point about the validity of hypnosis as a
tool for researching possible abduction cases. The mention of
hypnosis puts me in mind of the most atrocious book on hypnotically-
uncovered abduction experiences I think I've ever read---a piece of
tripe by some person called Edith Fiore, Ph.D, the title of which
escapes me at the moment ("Encounters", maybe?) and which serves as a
masterful example of how to ask blatantly leading questions. Things
like "do you remember being taken up by the aliens into their space-
ship?" and "do you think the aliens were trying to cure your
hemmorhoids?" and "try to recall the first moment when the ET's
kidnapped you."
Talk about "poisoning the well."
As far as hypnosis itself goes, can one really lend much weight to
what it retrieves in regard to these supposed "abductions" (remember,
folks---nothing has been definitely proven one way OR the other as
to the existence of EBE's) when it has been demonstrated to be of
dubious reliability under far less psychologically stressful
conditions (recalling license plate numbers, the color of a bank
robber's blazer, etc.)? What I mean to say is, if it's spotty for
something as simple as helping someone to recall a plate number,
how good is it going to be in helping someone recall his kidnap and
medical examination by a mob of pug-ugly little grey men from Cygnus
Minor?......

An acquaintance of mine in upstate New York recently saw an aircraft that
he thought was a spaceship. It was shaped like a regular airplane but
instead of regular wings had two massive shapes on each side of the central
fuselage; the shapes were on the end of what appeared to be very short
connecting "wings" on either side of the fuselage. He said it made a loud
whining or humming sound, moved very slowly and then zoomed away. It's
general description made me wonder whether it was a stealth version of a
jump-jet (like the Harrier) with hover capability. There is a major
airbase in the area. Sighting was late at night over a residential area.

It occurred to me that what science basically does when faced
with the unknown is :
1) admit it doesn't know
2) observe the behaviour
3) speculate about causes
4) formulate a theory to explain the behaviour
5) it cannot PROVE the theory totally, science instead looks for
behaviour that doesn't fit the theory.
6) modify the theory to account for new data or unexplained data
As a theory withstands tests of it's capability to explain
the observed behaviour, it becomes stronger. Eventually it is assumed
to be true. As in Newton's laws. As our instrumentation gets more
discriminating, experiments show errors in the theory, or confirm
it.
As for UFOs, it seems much easier to me to go ahead and posit
the existence of ET. This handily explains almost all of the observed
behaviour. Our own limited knowledge (knowledge is always limited)
concludes that other planets are highly likely. Life abounds on Earth
in all kinds of weird places. There is no real reason NOT to assume ET
out there somewhere.
I am afraid that to a visitor we would look like animals.
Similar to what we think of monkeys or cows. We are obviously violent
and selfish, willing to destroy whole countries with nuclear weapons.
There is no central contact point for aliens to contact. Someone might
try to attack them. It is no wonder that ETs might not want to get too
close. We stink.
All through recorded time, man has had a relationship with
"other" intellegences. Elves, gods, etc. It is so much simpler to
explain all of this (and UFOs) with the ET hypothesis. The amount of
anecdotal evidence is overwhelming. Some explanation is required._
I challenge you skeptics out there to come up with one shred
of proof AGAINST the ET theory.

Hi! Did anyone hear about UFO reports downunder on the 28th April?
According to the reports I heard, Toukley Police (NSW Central Coast)
had a number of reports, between the hours of 2:20am and 2:35am EST,
of a round red and white flashing light hovering over Norah Head Beach.
Inspector Mike Stephen of Toukley Police says he can't find the people
who made the reports (a rumour is they all said their name was 'Smith'(?)),
but on the TV that evening they had a number of people who claimed to
have 'seen the light' (and I don't mean that in a religous sense ;-)
One couple said how scared they were, and that the light seemed very
bright and was all through the house.
An old couple had a similar story. The man said that he had tried to chase
the light in his car, but that when he tried to start it it was dead.
Another person said that their dog was so upset by the light that it
chewed through it's lead to try and get away.
I believe there is a nearby army base which claimed that it had a helicopter
in the area, but that it was out to sea at the time, so could not have been
the light.
So what was it? Ball lightning bouncing off clouds has been suggested?
Anyone else heard any more about this?
AN APOLOGY!!
Sorry the report is not as exciting as most of these stories you get here.
No Pleiadians or Cattle Mutilations by Greys, or government coverups......
No Channeling, no make-love-not-war alien messages, or abductions and sexual
experiments on abducted human beings!
That's why this report sounds a little more credible!!!!

Hello everyone,
I'm now reading Jacques Vallee's old book, MESSENGERS OF DECEPTION.
Going into it, I didn't know what to expect! There's something to be
said for reading older UFO books - they are rich in background.
Apparently Vallee went on some sort of quest to chase down the
psychological effects of UFO's on people. It took me a while to
realize that he is addressing the notion of Contactees in this book -
those contacted by some higher intelligence (so they think) who gives
them a message or a promise of some sort. He met all sorts of whackos
in this late 1970's book.
It doesn't appear he is going to mention "legitimate abductees" - those
people who claim to have been abducted unwillingly, who are not seeking
wealth, and not trying to convert the world to some sort of new belief.
Well, heck, I was going to quote a few things but have discovered that
I left the book at work! <durn>
Anybody read this book??

David Jacobs' new book, my copy is on the high Pacific seas heading

For those who have asked, by phone or mail. The final tally for the
last Australian crop season was one set of circles. These were located
in the state of Victoria, within 20 Km of the 1989 set of circles. So
since 1989 we have two only sets of simple circles known.

Subject: GULF BREEZE
Date: 5 May 92 18:14:00 GMT
The following information has been secured by Bill Chalker of Sydney
and is relayed courtesy of Bill:
"Keith, further to your enquiry re the information Colin Andrews was
talking about during his April lectures in Australia I have secured
the following info from Colin and Walt Andrus.
Colin advised that Dr Steven Greer's SETI team conducted a contact
test at Gulf Breeze on March 13 1992. I have Colin's account of this
if it needs to be posted. He refers to these as "airborn components"
(UFOs). Over lunch during April 16th, Colin indicated that there would
be a media release that week on the CNN Larry King Show but that this
info was being tightly controlled. Colin characterised the signalling
as using lasers. As this sounded quite interesting, I contacted Walt
Andru on April 16th. Walt had talked to Steven Greer a week and a half
earlier at the Eureka Springs Arkansas conference. Greer had been to
Gulf Breeze and is conducting experiments into what he likes to call
CE5 cases-where "humans interact with UFOs by flashing lights, things
of that nature, trying to attract them."
Gree and his "team" had 3 big half million candle power lights out in
the park at Gulf Breeze and they were flashing them in the sky trying
to attract UFOs and 3 "UFOs" apparently came over. They got pictures
of them and several videos were made by MUFON investigators of them as
well. According to Walt there were 3 in a triangular formation. They
were signalling to, and another 2 outside the sill picture field, but
were caught on video panning. They flew over and then the group
started flashing. The lead object appeared to respond by turning out
its lights. This wasa done several times.
Now it must be stressed that Greer's SETI group is not officla. In
fact it is called CSETI-the center for the Study of ET Intelligence, a
privateresearch group based in Ashville, Carolina, where Dr Greer is a
young doctor in emergency care at the local hospital. Greer is also
the state section director for MUFON. He claims to have done a similar
exercise in Belgium and hopes to replicate the Gulf Breeze experience
in a test in England in crop circle territory during June. Colin
Andrews was "predicting" that there could be a major
"relevation/event" shortly involving "airborn components" he believes
are behind the crop circles in England. He appeared to be suggesting
that Greer's experiment in England this coming June might be the
stimuli for just such a major event, wherein all will be revealed."
End of Bill's information.
Comments? Question-has this information made the media in the US as
hoped?

Well, time to graduate. I will have to slip out of Paranet for
the summer, before I study graduate-level astronomy at San Diego State.
Anyone out in that area? I will have to catch up on Paranet in the Fall by
reading on the Cleveland Freenet, where all the issues are posted.
Could have gone to U of Florida, but alas, they only gave out
two fellowships and two assistantships. A guy who already has a PhD in
math had to be turned down for financial support. Recession has hit
Florida education badly? Peterson's Guide said Florida accepts
21/35 of students applying, but this year it was 12/120. Makes me wonder
about the accuracy of Graduate guide books...
Anyway, this Summer I will meet with John White, who is quite
interested in my book. He happens to live in Cheshire, CT, which is the
town next door to my hometown, Wallingford, CT (birthplace of Morton Downey
Junior, and former silver capital of US.) I will stay the summer with my
parents in Wallingford.
I hoped to get parts of the UFO section of my book copyrighted so
I could field ideas on Paranet, but the US Copyright office in DC has been
slow to send me forms. It will be summer before I get a response, but
perhaps in the late Fall I can post something. For a year I have hoped to
present my quasi-statistical proof of UFOs, and I think I announced it long
back. It will have to wait.

I think that would be difficult for me to do and I wish you the best of

It is real hard to be an honest Skeptic these days. The Debunking
Faction considers honest Skeptics to be Believers, which I find extremely
insulting, and the Believers treat honest Skeptics as Debunkers, which
is about equally insulting...
Since I don't have the necessary information or personal experience to
join either camp, and since I'm unwilling to stop using my mind, I'm stuck
in the middle.
By asking you about your sighting I was trying to get a jump on what it

Just before I let my subscription to _Just Cause_ expire (I
got tired of the "Govt. cover-up" angle and now prefer to

couple of stories on Simone Mendez. She had been shown some
bogus Dotyesque documents to see how she would react. Because
she took them home, she was investigated by AFOSI and lost her
job as an Air Force communications specialist.
Anyway, the latest issue of _Fate_ has an article on her.
It was disclosed that she now claims to have had some sort of CE
experience and some experience with my favorite guys, the Men In

familiar with any of the details? She appears to be a likely
candidate for Don Ecker's "Whistleblower" series.

According to the news today, there was a major UFO event with multiple
witnesses in New South Wales last night (27 April 1992) [or today, since we
cross the Date Line, I think]. A large, round object hovered over a small
town, was seen by dozens of witnesses and the local police received many calls
from =hysterical= people reporting their observations. After hovering over
town for a while, the object flashed red and green lights, then flew away at
high speed.

Yeah, I've thought of that, among other things. I'd lean more towards
parachute flares, which, see from a distance of a few miles, might appear to
hover or move along slowly. Debris would most likely sink.
I think there's just too many problems with balloon-borne flares for that
to be a feasible answer.
