	Yes, you're right, it IS quite normal behaviour.  I still don't
know how NASA could fit in though.  I know that NASA has very strong ties
with the military but I can't think of anything that may include the
participation of NASA at a military base in PR.  Any ideas?

	Maybe it didn't...maybe they were hallucinating under the influence
of one of the many drugs that seem to pass through there...  :)

	sorry, I was just mentioning some of the questions that they came
up with...the story of the "rare species" came from one of the high 
ranking military officers that they interviewed...They asked a question
concerning reports from people who claim to have seen something jumping
out in front of their cars before their mind-blank.  The officer responded
with something about a new species of animal that they discovered in the
wooded areas of PR...what do you make out of this?  I don't know what to
think about his comment.

	right, I said "supposedly" because they showed and outlined the
parts of the document that referred to "contact with the aliens", but I 
don't have them (the documents) myself (obviously)...so "A" document
exists but whether or not it is a real one or not, I do not know (because
I don't have them to examine for myself...(as if I could really tell))...

[sarcasm on]
	Yeah, just like Uri Geller, the psychic... no, let me say that
again..."THE psychic" (heavily accented "THE"!)   :)
[sarcasm off]

	I will look for his name next time though...

Robert, are you also interested in other subjects falling into the 
"paranormal" label, or do you mainly concentrate on UFOs? (just a 
question out of curiousity not related to the above discussion)
