Adams Time
I forgot to point out, how the wise and now old Skeptic Phillip Adams, saw himself, his powers. In this below article you see a mind that believes it can move all. In his cae "Old Man TIME". Now that's an ego.
"I can remember trying to stretch time by dwelling on its every detail, by focusing on its atomic structure and the uneventful. It didn't work."
"So I tried the opposite - to get more out of time by packing more into it."

Centuries' Old UFO Coin Remains Mystery
An unidentified flying object on a 17th century French coin continues to mystify rare coin experts.
Colorado Springs, CO (PRWEB) January 28, 2005 -- After decades of seeking possible answers about a mysterious UFO-like design on a 17th century French copper coin, a prominent
numismatic expert says it remains just that: an unidentified flying object. After a half-century of research, the design has defied positive identification by the numismatic
community.
"It was made in the 1680s in France and the design on one side certainly looks like it could be a flying saucer in the clouds over the countryside," said Kenneth E. Bressett of Colorado Springs, Colorado, a former President of the 32,000-member American Numismatic Association and owner of the curious coin.
"Is it supposed to be a UFO of some sort, or a symbolic representation of the Biblical Ezekiel's wheel? After 50 years of searching, I've heard of only one other example of it, and nothing to explain the unusual design."
Bressett said the mysterious piece is not really a coin, but a "jeton," a coin-like educational tool that was commonly used to help people count money, or sometimes used as a money substitute for playing games. It is about the size of a U.S. quarter-dollar and similar to thousands of other jetons with different religious and educational designs that were produced and used in Europe during the 16th and 17th centuries.
"The design on this particular piece could be interpreted as showing either a UFO or Ezekiel's wheel, but little else. Some people think the Old Testament reference to Ezekiel's wheel may actually be a description of a long-ago UFO," he explained.
"The legend written in Latin around the rim is also mystifying. 'OPPORTUNUS ADEST' translates as 'It is here at an opportune time.' Is the object in the sky symbolic of needed rainfall, or a Biblical reference or visitors from beyond? We probably will never know for certain," said Bressett.
"It is part of the lure of numismatics that makes coin collecting so intriguing."

That Old Skeptic Phillip Adams
Has Death On His Mind, Again!
In today’s Australian (Magazine) the old die hard 100% skeptic Phillip Adams, has again returned to the theme of death. This must be his 30th report on the subject and they don't seem to help him, settle his skeptic NO GOD mind. It looks as if this man needs some faith, a GOD. But he struggles trying to justify his short time left. Yes it happens to all of us, yes folks we are all going to die... so to believe in GOD is a good bet... if your wrong than who cares, but if your right then YES!!!
Now when it comes to the skeptic big mouths the matter of death, even love, the end & God are so hard to remove. They wash with words and ideas “I’m not afraid”, but oh, yes they are. Try as they may it still gets back to the mind... so many days left so little time and thus we have a dilemma... for Adam he wants to cross over but the ego and the many years of living on bull shit trying to tell us & show us how strong and important he was, playing the Jokers Death Card, what fun it was - but now it's coming back to cause grief... I hope he has a long life or should I say a very very long death... enjoy what you have left Mr Skeptic, if you get your way that’s all you have left – NOTHING in the end!.
There’s so much to think about
Phillip Adams
"January 29, 2005LIFE is short. Life is also very long. While its passing leaves you breathless, times when you feel time as a G-force, in the same breath, in the same breathlessness, you can look back over its immensity, its panoramas, its event horizons.
As a kid, terrified by the brevity of life, at least when contrasted with the terrors of eternity, with the dread of non-existence, you yearned to be able to stop time. Or at least slow it down. But how to do that?
I’ve always resented sleep – to spend a third of one’s precious life unconscious,even if there were dreams to be had in the surreal cinema of the mind. Once, in a maths class, I calculated that the biblical allotment of “three score years and ten” amounted to not millions of hours but a miserable 613,200. To lose around 200,000 to sleep seemed intolerable. Hence my decision to become an insomniac.
For the truth is you can pack an awful lot into those 400,000 waking hours even if, despite your best efforts, you waste a great many of them.
I’ve only got five years left from the three-score-plus-ten. Which gives me an unspent balance of 1825 days before I go into overdraft. Or 2,628,000 minutes. Or 260 weeks."

'Meteorite' arouses Cambodians' superstitions
Australian - ABC
A 4.5-kilogram suspected meteorite has landed in rice fields in north-western Cambodia, narrowly avoiding a nearby village.
"The rock fell on a harvested rice field from the sky on Monday morning," Sok Sareth, police chief of Banteay Meanchey province, said.
"According to the villagers who live nearby, it came very quickly from the sky and made a noise like a bomb exploding.
"It dug about 40 centimetres into the ground.
"The rock is a little bit black and was hot, and looks strange compared to other rocks... it was lucky that it did not land in the village or people could have been killed."
He says experts would examine the rock.
Pictures of the lump have been splashed across the front pages of local newspapers.
Sok Sareth says some villagers reportedly want to turn it into a shrine.
"Nobody has asked for it yet, but I have been told some villagers said that they want to put it on a shrine to pray to it, but we won't allow them to do that. It's useless," he said.
Cambodians, particularly in rural areas, are typically superstitious.

A physicist offers a new and controversial way
of understanding evolution.
By Scott D. O’Reilly
Dr. John Archibald Wheeler is professor emeritus of physics at both Princeton and the University of Texas. Now in his ninth decade, Wheeler is one of science’s grand elder statesmen. He is a link between scientific giants -- such as his colleagues Albert Einstein and Niels Bohr -- and a new generation of scientific whizzes whom he helped train, such as Cal Tech’s Kip Thorne. Dr. Wheeler has made impressive contributions to many fields, ranging from quantum mechanics (which deals with the infinitely small realm of subatomic particles) to cosmology (which deals with the unimaginably vast regions of outer space). Indeed, it is Wheeler who coined the term “black hole” to describe what happens when a star collapses upon itself, exerting such gravitational force that it distorts the fabric of space and time, causing time to slow down and preventing even light from escaping. But not even black holes seem strange and farfetched in comparison to Wheeler’s idea of genesis by observership.

Law Of Gravity Is The Same
Dr Raj Baldev, who is the author of "Two Big Bangs Created the Univrese" (Formed in Eternal Space) said, "The theory of Parent Universe" or "The Theory of Two Big Bangs" is based on this point. When we acknowledge the law of gravity as perfectly accurate, there is no reason of a single Universe.

"No single object or body in the Universe or space can stay alone unsupported without another body with specific mass to attract the other part.
"For example, even our Sun is not stationary; it orbits the Home Galaxy and takes 240 million years to complete its rotation. In short, within or outside the Universe or anywhere in the space, the law of gravity is the same.

WOW!
Windsor Castle Hand
"My daughter Katie is a student at Boston University and is studying abroad in England this semester. On January 15th, she and her friends were touring Windsor Castle. You're not allowed to take photographs inside the palace which for college kids meant "please take as many photos as you like". Under stealth she took several photos including this one inside The Queen's Chapel. It shows a huge white billowy right hand coming into the frame from the top right. The scale compared to the people below is huge. You'll notice that it
also casts a shadow which is perspectively correct."
"She said there were no statues, paintings, or other kids in the frame; and definitely no"guards". She was trying to photograph the beautiful ceiling artwork at the time. She described it to me as an indication that she should not be taking the picture. I agree, but regardless, this is what was on the image. She didn't look at it until she got home and only then realized what had occurred. We immediately thought your listeners would be interested. Keep up the great work."

WHAT IS A UFO "Malfunction Junction"?
Someone in the comment section wants to know the meaning of "Malfunction Junction" - Good question.
Well, let me give it a go... it is a bit of an in-house joke or code. From what I know, it has been around for many years late 1970s and was started by Mr Paul Norman of the Victorian UFO Research Society (VUFORS).
Paul an engineer by trade, would in his unusual way, place the phrase into his magazine articles and later his "On The UFO Trail", Paul would slot the phrase in when ever a UFO case/story had gone belly up or wrong.
At first it was used to describe the operations of the older Sydney UFO group, UFO Investigation Centre (UFOIC), who for many reasons wanting to control & centralise all ufo groups and research in Sydney. This battle has raged for years, and as time wore on the original group folded, Paul then shifted the phrase over to target people like Bill Chalker and Keith Basterfield as they locked into some new pact, under the individual research banner. The phrase does not apply to the current Sydney Group UFORNSW, this group works on an even well managed keel, but the focus still remains on Bill Chalker et al.
The best way to describe the phrase is to take the words in their literal sense. Paul would say, what ever went into the "Sydney Junction" came out damaged or from the dictionary:
- To fail to function
- To function improperly
- Failure to function
- Faulty or abnormal functioning
THE 1967 SYDNEY UNDERHAND TRICK
You can see an example of this bid to control, in the records of the National Australian Archives (NAA). In an application by the then UFO Investigation Centre (UFOIC), Harry O'Brian (the secretary) tried to register the name of the all state groups UFO magazine "Australian Flying Saucer Review" as a UFOIC property item, by using The Australian Copyright Act:
http://naa12.naa.gov.au/scripts/ShowImage.asp?B=4999213&S=10&T=R
SEE:
AUTHOR UFO Investigation Centre : ADDRESS Glebe : TITLE OF WORK Australian Flying Saucer Review - Number 8 : TYPE OF WORK Literary : APPLICANT UFO Investigation Centre : DATE OF APPLICATION 18 Nov 1966 : DATE COPYRIGHT REGISTERED 23 Aug 1967 :
Series number A1336 - Control symbol 68837 - Contents date range 1966 - 1967 - Barcode no 4999213
And Again they had another go:
AUTHOR Harry O'Brien : ADDRESS Glebe : TITLE OF WORK Number Nine. "Australian Flying Saucer Review" : TYPE OF WORK Literary : APPLICANT The U.F.O Investigation Centre of N.S.W : DATE OF APPLICATION 24 Aug 1967 : DATE COPYRIGHT REGISTERED 4 Oct 1967 : WORK ENCLOSED? Yes
Series number A1336 - Control symbol 69120 - Contents date range 1967 - 1967 - Canberra Barcode no 4999558
http://naa12.naa.gov.au/scripts/ShowImage.asp?B=4999213&S=12&T=R
And This One
http://naa12.naa.gov.au/scripts/ShowImage.asp?B=4999213&S=15&T=R
FAILURE TO CLEAR
When word got back to the other groups the underhand trick was stopped, the whole effort was illegal, and came to nothing. But it cemented the bad blood in the minds of older Australian Ufologist especially in Victoria (VUFORS & PRA) for ever.
SEE THIS
http://naa12.naa.gov.au/scripts/ShowImage.asp?B=4999213&S=21&T=R
http://naa12.naa.gov.au/scripts/ShowImage.asp?B=4999213&S=22&T=R
WHAT HAPPENED TO UFOIC
What happened to the underhand back stabber Harry O'Brian - he grew old and died and the group, well it now resided in the hands of one Mr Bill Chalker:
UFO Investigation Centre (UFOIC) - PO Box W42, West Pennant Hills NSW 2125 - Bill Chalker (02 9484 4680) - bill_c@bigpond.com
MALFUNCTION JUNCTION does it still exist today - well yes, the want to control groups, information and ufology in general has just passed into more hands with new words and new tricks. This new batch of egos don't like to admit it, but the need for greed is alive and well, it can be heard from big mouths who demand other peoples information - just listen... there in the distance "AUFO... Bi..".

Desperately hoping to catch a Tasmanian Tiger
John Flinn
San Francisco Chronicle - Sunday, January 23, 2005
"Like so many of the wonderfully strange beasts in Australia, the Tasmanian tiger looked like it was cobbled together from spare parts. Its rear half resembled a tiger -- well, sort of -- with black stripes and a long tail. Its front half could be mistaken for a wolf. And it had a pouch, like a kangaroo.?
SHORT SMALL MOVIE:
The Last Tiger
www.tased.edu.au/tot/fauna/tiger.mov
"What are they going to do?" said Nick Mooney, a wildlife biologist with the state of Tasmania. "Spend $80 million cloning a thylacine and then turn it loose in the wild?"
For two decades it's been part of Mooney's job to hunt for the Tasmanian tiger. He's laid out wet sand in likely habitats to try to capture footprints, set photographic trip-lines, questioned ranchers and hunters, and examined more scat than he cares to think about. And he frequently crosses paths with amateur thylacine hunters who've devoted their life to the cause.
"People bankrupt themselves and ruin relationships over this," he told me. "I don't know of any suicides, but I know of a number of people who've flipped. It's an obsession for some people."
Mooney said he's seen "a lot of so-called evidence, but nothing convincing. It's always possible the thylacine's still out there, but I'd say it's highly unlikely."

Questioning life after death
Doctor conducts studies on near death experiences
Gabriel Monte - Staff Writer -January 21, 2005
There is more to death than meets the eye.
Consciousness may be more than just a product of brain activity, according to Dr. Jan Holden, a professor in NT's department of Counseling Development and Higher Education. Holden is involved with a study on near death experiences at the University of Virginia, which started last March. The research is actually part of a bigger study funded by Bial, a European pharmaceutical company.
"About a half dozen people a year who go through that procedure report having an out-of-body experience," she said.
"Changes in values and attitudes and the most uniform change that is virtually unanimous among near death experiencers is the complete loss of fear of death. NDEers say that there is no such thing as death of consciousness." she said.
"People who come out of it ... realizing that the separation between people is artificial that, really, we all are connected, that when we do something to another person that we really do it to ourselves," Holden said.

How common are NDEs?
"Near-death experiences have occurred for thousands of years. Today's major studies have indicated that of people who come close to death 35-40% may later report an NDE. No one knows whether the other 60-65% do not have an NDE, have one but do not remember, or choose not to discuss it. According to a Gallup study in 1982 and its subsequent update, in the USA alone between eight and thirteen million adults have had an NDE; no estimate exists of the number of experiences among children."

AUFORN THINK TANK TRACKERS
One of AUFORN bright spark members, or all four of them, has come up with a new concept for tracking people on the net. Yes folks this "Einstein Think Tank" has found, by looking at message post dates/time groups they can tell who in fact posted the message... bright hey!

THE TEST:
But there’s more, I decided to put the theory to a test, using the AUFORN research manual and the Texas-Di-Harrison-TA83+ calculator and lots of George Simpson box camera nouce this is what I discovered.
So like the smart AUFORN member I too went to UFOupdates to test the theory, and with little effort, good golly I found this mysterious connection:

So by using the AUFORN method, what we can now deduce to be fact is this - "that Richard Hall is in Fact Di Harrison dressed up in drag or visa versa".
Oh Dear, what a load of BS. I had to come back on to put this up, but God help us all and all who fly under the AUFORN flag.

One of AUFORN bright spark members, or all four of them, has come up with a new concept for tracking people on the net. Yes folks this "Einstein Think Tank" has found, by looking at message post dates/time groups they can tell who in fact posted the message... bright hey!

I HAVE A AUFORN QUESTION?
I have another lead sent to me by some of my Sydney spies, to look into, so I went over to look see, and this is from the AUFORN "UFOlogist Magazine" home page:
"UFO Research New South Wales Used 'The Australasian Ufologist Magazine' as their club magazine for three years. From Volume 3 No 2 to Volume 6 No 5."
http://homepage.powerup.com.au/~ufologist/
And then UFORNSW left after 3 years... Why? Not that I am a cynical type of bloke (well a little bit then) but its on their front page. And we were all told everything was going so well. Was I or we being fed BS about - "hand in hand life", "state unity" and that great love "sharing is caring"?
Was it because the AUFORN or the powers to be had:

Was it because the AUFORN or the powers to be had:
- Someone wanted to control the plan?
- Extra money was needed to run the plan, and that was a one way trip?
- Someone wanted the membership lists?
- Someone wanted to be the hub of ufology?
- Someone wanted to control conferences?
- Someone had another agenda in mind?
- Or was it easyer to do your own magazine?
- Time to go, were out of this shit?
- or... and so on.

GREAT FIND!
Iron Meteorite on Mars
NASA's Mars Exploration Rover Opportunity has found an iron meteorite on Mars, the first meteorite of any type ever identified on another planet. The pitted, basketball-size object is mostly made of iron and nickel. Readings from spectrometers on the rover determined that composition. Opportunity used its panoramic camera to take the images used in this approximately true-color composite on the rover's 339th martian day, or sol (Jan. 6, 2005).

The First International
Cryptozoology Art Symposium and Exhibition
On October 28, 29, and 30, 2005, the Bates College Museum of Art, Maine College of Art, and the International Cryptozoology Museum will host an international symposium, and launch
a combined exhibition, tentatively entitled "Cryptozoology and Art" at Bates College.
Bates College, widely regarded as one of the finest liberal arts colleges in the nation, is dedicated to the principle of active engagement. Bates was founded in 1855 by Maine
abolitionists.
Loren Coleman, Director
International Cryptozoology Museum
This is a great idea. Very much like UFORNSW wonderful project, The Extra Dimension exhibition, which was held from late October 2001 until January 2002, at the Liverpool Regional Museum.

Doh It Don't Work - Diane Harrison
I followed the instructions, but it looks as if the whole Disclosure thingo is dead? As VUFORS hot shot Paul Norman would say "Its a God Damn Malfunction Junction".
Issue 20 of the Disclosure Australia project Newsletter has just been uploaded to our web site at:
http://disclosure.freewebpage.org
This issue concentrates on the role of the CSIRO in the Australian UFO mystery between 1952 and 1972.
Oh and by the way, what ever happened to Issue #19? All so wacky and lots of fun.
Oh well, I have been told that the site has been down for months... may be next time - Diane.

Big Cat Search Gets Under Way
By MATT NEAL
Warrnambool Standard - Victoria January 18, 2005
A SEARCH for big cats and thylacines in the Otways is under way using new technology from the US.
Independent researcher Michael Moss, of Richmond, is using what is known as a "deer-cam" to try and get proof that Tasmanian tigers and panthers call the large national park home.
Mr Moss said the camera was triggered by body heat and had been set up in the Birregurra area for about six weeks.
So far the only pictures taken have been of fallow deer and wallabies, but he remained confident. "Last year around March in the Otways I was contacted by a farming couple who had sightings in their area of a black panther," Mr Moss said.
It was not the first time a big cat had been seen in that region in early autumn so Mr Moss planned to relocate the camera near the farm, having failed to catch the creature with a trap last year.
"I'm quietly confident Ð there's no reason why it won't come into the area again," he said.
There are also plans to use the heat-triggered camera in the Simpson-Kennedys Creek area soon to follow up on thylacine sightings. "Because I've only got one camera, a lot of people think I'm looking for a needle in a haystack," Mr Moss said.
"These creatures are definitely here."

"THE European aviation industry staked its future on the world’s largest passenger plane yesterday as Airbus unveiled its 555-seat A380 superjumbo."
"Airbus claimed the A380 would be as economical as a diesel family car - consuming fewer than three litres of fuel per passenger per 100km."
"The A380 will also be able to fly 9,000 miles - five per cent further than a 747 - and a stretched version is planned that could carry 800 people."

POLITICAL DUMB
Welfare Push On Jobless
Melbourne Herald Sun - Fleur Anderson - 19 Jan 2005
I love politics as its a very Fort process. Take this gem in today's local rag:
"LONG-term unemployed people and stay-at-home mums are the targets of Coalition MPs pushing Prime Minister John Howard to deliver tax cuts.
Australia's 530,000 unemployed would be weaned off welfare by replacing the dole with food stamps and utility credits that could not be spent on gambling, alcohol and cigarettes under a plan to be unveiled this weekend.
Liberal MP and member for the Gold Coast Steve Ciobo will push the plan at a Young Liberal and National Convention in Hobart on Sunday."
WHAT! - "spent on gambling, alcohol and cigarettes"
That's right the nut thinks that $30/day before tax = luxury.
This would be a better idea Mr Ciobo, you can have these for your new world plans.

This would be a better idea Mr Ciobo, you can have these for your new world plans.
- Anyone who lives or has a GOLD COAST home or unit near the strip = No welfare.
- If your a member of the Liberal Party = No welfare.
- If your car cost you more than $28K or was purchased new then = No welfare.
- If any member of the family was a polly or a head of any Government Department............. = No welfare.
- If any member of your family went to private school = No welfare.
- If you went overseas for a holiday in the last 12 months = No welfare.
- If your a farmer = No welfare.
- If you own a boat = No welfare.
- If your in a National Party electorate = No welfare.
Oh dear... I could go on with all this crap and sound just as dumb as our polly, can you see him agreeing with these close too Liberal items... would you do it?

Maslin Beach Hoax
UFOlogist Magazine Vol8 No3 2004
The 1993 Maslin Beach, South Australia UFO photographs are a very poor Hoax. They have been investigated by a number of researchers down this way, who went over to SA. In one shot the string that holds the small object below the larger object is visible.
A Editor from one of our big women’s magazines was asked to purchase the images, he took the negatives for a look see, and then sent them down to Victoria for analysis (VUFORS & PRA).
The conclusion - there were 17 other tell tail errors with the images and the story!
Why would anyone have these images on the front of their magazine?
Simply mad!

Life After Death
DARYL PASSMORE
Sunday Mail Queensland
16th Jan 2005
This Extract:
SITTING alone with the body of her mother who had just died, Olivia Newton-John felt "an incredible presence" in the room.
"It was an energy I'd never felt before," the singer says.
Then, recalling a conversation the pair had some time earlier, she asked her mum to send a signal that she was OK wherever she now was.
"Make the candles move, or flicker, or something," Newton-John urged. Some small candles in the room moved a little, enough to reassure her.
But then she was called to the living room where family and friends were gathered.
"You'll never believe what happened," they said. A candle in that room had just exploded with a fizzing sound right under the picture of Newton-John's mother.
The incident is among a collection of stories of the supernatural in a new book - "The Dying Experience and Learning How To Live" By Author Mike.

UFOLOGY DUSTUP
You have probably been following the dustup on UfoUpdates, between two icons of Ufology, Stanton Friedman and Dick Hall., over nothing important it’s more to do with style and approach.
From my small window, Stanton wins hands down. Dick Hall, for all his weight in gold is not that precious. Sure the man has been around for many years, but his work, can I say this, very limited. His book, looks great, feels great, but it’s really just a well ordered list of facts - no meat.
Stanton closed this dustup with this apology.
http://www.virtuallystrange.net/ufo/updates/2005/jan/m16-020.shtml
You have to go back to the start to get the full reasons for the rift.
The best part and the one that I agree with, was this exchange from Stanton to Dick.
“Do you mean we shouldn't complain about your ignorance based on
no knowledge? We should just accept your pronouncements and
ignore the evidence?”

FORTEAN BLUES
Fortean Times UnConvention
While I was in the UK, I had the luck of being able to attend the Fortean Times Unconventio 2004. That was a treat for me, being a FORT fan. However, after the two day conference I came away being rather blue. With all the wonderful things that go on in this world the selection of speakers and topics was appalling.
Ten minutes with that super dill Mr Andy Roberts, was long enough for me and I discovered that a quick exit for a drink was always a good move. The sad part to all this was the speakers in someway produced such a bad program, the public looked low on numbers as well, I can understand why. Even with the dull program, I was surprise that very few attended, as I know many people do follow FORT, it seems to me as if Fortean Times is not vert FORT like, more a club of skeptics.
Saturday 30th October & Sunday 31st October - 2004
At Friends House, 173/177 Euston Road
Opposite Euston Tube/Train Station. The British Library is just up the road.

Fortean Times UnConvention
While I was in the UK, I had the luck of being able to attend the Fortean Times Unconventio 2004. That was a treat for me, being a FORT fan. However, after the two day conference I came away being rather blue. With all the wonderful things that go on in this world the selection of speakers and topics was appalling.
Ten minutes with that super dill Mr Andy Roberts, was long enough for me and I discovered that a quick exit for a drink was always a good move. The sad part to all this was the speakers in someway produced such a bad program, the public looked low on numbers as well, I can understand why. Even with the dull program, I was surprise that very few attended, as I know many people do follow FORT, it seems to me as if Fortean Times is not vert FORT like, more a club of skeptics.
Saturday 30th October & Sunday 31st October - 2004
At Friends House, 173/177 Euston Road
Opposite Euston Tube/Train Station. The British Library is just up the road.

A DUMMY EXPLANATION
By Jim Wilson
POPULAR MECHANICS
"In its latest report, titled "The Roswell Report: Case Closed," the Air Force sticks by its 1994 claim that the Roswell debris was nothing more than the remains of a Mogul balloon."
"As far as further debunking the Roswell episode, McAndrew was less successful. The questions he left unanswered, especially about the role of the Phillips Laboratory, AEC and CIA, make it hard for even a UFO skeptic to accept the report's conclusion that the Roswell episode should be stamped "Case Closed.""
The USAF report left out one small fact... Roswell was in 1947, all the "Crash Dummies" were in the 50's... "What!" - you say - "The dates are wrong...?"- Well yes thats right, but they went on to write this report even when the dates did not match up.
Great research chaps - NOT!
So who are the "Dummies" now.

THE SECRET CIA UFO FILES
By Jim Wilson
POPULAR MECHANICS
The Central Intelligence Agency says it has finally come clean about UFOs. To absolutely no one's surprise, it knew more than it ever let on.
"Over half of all UFO reports from the late 1950s through the 1960s were accounted for by manned reconnaissance flights," says Gerald K. Haines, a historian for the National Reconnaissance Office who studied secret CIA UFO files for an internal CIA study that examined the spy agency's involvement in UFOs through the 1990s.
"POPULAR MECHANICS has learned from nonclassified sources that the United States had a serious reason for wanting the public to keep believing that the strange lights in the sky were of unearthly origin."

What The Hell Was That?
"On this afternoon (Thursday, June 3, 2004) I looked up into our unusually sunny Oregon skies and found there to be an odd object moving and darting and also stopping a few times. I had a disposable camera sitting around with a few pictures left on the reel, was able to grab it and took 4 shots." - Tomas D. Wilsonville, Oregon - USA

OUR POPULISM STYLE GOVERNMENT
This Government of ours, Mr Howard et al… has a lot to answer for, in today Age newspaper there were three big stories on the Unemployed, and what we get them to do for their $30/day is unbelievable.
Take this:
“Record numbers of young Victorians have started work-for-the-dole projects.Federal Workplace Participation Minister Peter Dutton said yesterday 9610 Victorians had begun projects this financial year, up nearly 2000 on last financial year.Australia-wide, numbers are up 13 per cent, to 40,167. About 85,000 people are expected to participate this financial year, compared with more than 74,000 last year.”
REF:http://www.theage.com.au/news/National/More-working-for-the-dole/2005/01/10/1105206048735.html
And this extract from Simon Castles article “How not to get people into jobs” – Age 11 Jan 2005.
“Work for the dole is a flawed and cynical program. A piece of populism masked as policy. A cruel hoax played on unemployed youth by a comfortable generation of politicians more concerned with winning the support of taxpayers than with doing anything to help the jobless. It is an odious exercise in creating scapegoats. A program designed purely to appeal to us, the employed, which fails even in its limited aims to help those without work. I could go on.”
“Sure, occasionally the Government will make a big song and dance about some work-for-the-dole project that could at least loosely be described as interesting and challenging. Call it the anomaly that heads the media release. But to read down the list of work-for-the-dole projects on the Government's website is indicative, and almost funny if it wasn't so distressing. Certain words and phrases keep jumping out: gardening, revegetation projects, weed eradication, grounds maintenance, improving the environment. Who would have thought there were so many ways to describe weeding?”

The Devil's In The Details?
Just in case you missed this item, Rich Reynolds wrote this post for UFO UpDates 8th Jan 2005. Have a read. I thought it was very insightful.
Don’t take offence to the link between age and need to reminisce, we all do that, and as we get older we do it more and more, so in many ways it is a truth… the important fact or should I say observation is some researchers have their head buried so hard or back in the past that they forget to look at whats new, or on now – today!
In an odd way that is why the Australian Disclosure Project in all its glory will with time failure - as it offer nothing other than a collection of old documents.
I have no problem with the collection of files but if you think you’re going to solve the disclosure problem then your nuts.
Nevertheless, these documents have been searched with a fine tooth comb in the past and nothing new was found.
But read Rich Reynolds comments.
The Devil's In The Details?
"The older UFO-study guys have a penchant for the historical UFO events. Why? Because when death is at the door, humans go back through their lives and experiences rather than set a path to the future, which for them is not going to happen.
(I won't name those here at UFO Updates who are ensconced in the past for the above reason but we all know who they are.)
But there are a few (Brad Sparks for instance) who see the value of exhuming past UFO events for study. And there may be some good reason to do that, but with caveats.

When several here got long-winded about the radar episode(s) in the 1952 Washington D.C. sightings, they were remiss in their rehashing.
It seems to me that one should look at the common factors in sightings, or radar episodes, anecdotes, et cetera.
It seems to me that one should look at the common factors in sightings, or radar episodes, anecdotes, et cetera.
Separate out those things, as best as one can, which are mundane, and accumulate those things which are similar in each episode.
The common threads may reveal something unique to UFOs.
Unless one has an epiphany (such as Euclid had or Newton), or if one is not a genius (such as Einstein, Jung, Bohrs), then one is relegated to the grunt work of gathering identical or nearly identical elements in sightings (past, present, and future) which might give a clue as to what UFOs are, or are not.
The books and studies so far are like those Washington, D.C.ruminations here: fraught with everything but the kitchen sink.
No one wants to take the "scientific" or quasi-scientific stepor discipline to ferret out that which could be meaningful. It's easier to include everything, which is what the great unwashed do when they make a stew or slumgullion.
Databasing the common elements in UFO events might elicit something(s) which could (or should) lead us all to insights which might be more productive than the skeptical stances by some oldsters here or the rampaging zeal of the younger set who pile everything up in a heap, from which a sensible scrutiny is nearly impossible."

Conspiracy Theorists Come Out
By Neil Western in Hong Kong
Melbourne Herald Sun, Australia - Jan 5, 2005
"JUST 11 days after Asia's tsunami catastrophe, conspiracy theorists are out in force, accusing governments of a cover-up, blaming the military for testing top-secret eco-weapons or aliens trying to correct the Earth's "wobbly" rotation."
"More outlandish theories include one that aliens caused the earthquake to try and correct the "wobbly rotation of the Earth"."
"Scientists give such theories short shrift."
REF: http://www.heraldsun.news.com.au/common/story_page/0,5478,11866890%5E1702,00.html
WHAT A LOAD OF RUBBISH
No wonder the Press are regarded as fools these days, with articles about ‘Conspiracy theorists come out’ what can we say. The facts are its more like a beat up by the press that starts this rubbish.
I read quite a bit of UFO literature and hell I don’t see these stories or claims about aliens. The reality, well like all groups of believers in anything, you get your nuts, I mean anything! So because a few nuts think this way how or why do we all get tared with the same brush?
Oh… a word on conspiracies they do happen folks, the word is in the dictionary for a good reason and in fact you can be charged in a court of law for the act… so to degrade or tar that word makes me wonder if there is something else on dick head reporter Neil Western mind – may be space & water?
Neil Western you’re a DOPE!

To start with I want you to have a look at this site.
It is absolutely fascinating and I think you will also find it most helpful.

Well I’m back!
Yes, dear friends and weary world wide web searchers tis I the bad man nay evil scribe and critic to the world of the Phenomena and Skeptics, or as I like to see it the rich play ground of the ego!
It’s hard to believe that 3 months has flown, but alas it has and now that I am back I guess I need to find more things in Ufology & Skeptics to poke. Give me time… mind you I do have a nice list of things that have come my way over the months.
I did get to visit London on my travels, I was there when Dr John Mack was killed… that was a shock. I was going to go to his London Service, but just could not get out. It all seems so sad, simply because he was killed by a DRUNK! Work that one out.
But so be it, let the fun begin.
