Subject: Okay - who writes the "Ernie" comic?

In one of our Vancouver Newspapers ("The Province") there is a comic
strip called "Ernie".

The writer(s) of "Ernie" have been on a UFO/abduction theme for the
last couple weeks. I sort of got the impression that the writer
knows a little about UFology because of a few "in jokes" about
mindscan and Mr. Ed, The aliens (who abducted one of the characters
in the strip) are little guys with big black eyes, no hair, no 
nose (at least compared to the other characters ;^) etc.

I am pretty sure now that the writer of "Ernie" is an alt.alien.visitors
reader because of the strip from a few days ago. My ASCII drawing is
too poor to make the attempt, but I'll give you the captions:


Pane 1: man introduces little alien to woman

	W - "He's mighty wierd"	
	M - "That's because he's not human"


Pane 2: alien looks around - man and woman discuss alien

	W - "Not Human?!"
	  - "He's not a person"
	  - "Homo Sapien?"
	  - "Mesch-lich?"
	M - "Nope"
	  - "No"
	  - "Uh-Uh"
	  - "No Way"


Pane 3: man is leaving - talking in the doorway.

	M - "I'm leaving him here tonight..."
 	  - "See you tomorrow"


Pane 4: "Comes the dawn..." (at top of pane)
	man is in doorway, woman in kitchen.

	M - "How was he?"
	W - "TERRIFIC!"
	  - "Tasted like chicken"
        
	"Hey folks, just kidding!" (at bottom of pane)



So come on - own up -  which one of you writes this strip? ;^)





Leonard.

P.S. sorry for the quasi-copyright infringement, but I figured it was 
so pathetic noone would mind :^)

Brian,
        The video of the UFO in question was taken near Anza, California last
        year.  The show sightings also talked about MIB's and abductions on 
        the same program.  Incidentally, tonight (11 Sept. 92) sightings will
        be on again.  Usually, their first show of the season is on UFO's.
        I hope you don't miss it!

Howdy,

A few questions. 

Why are most of the aliens presented here (blacks, greys, etc.) not nice ?
Is this 1950s all over again ? 

Why has no one contacted the aliens that gave (give) birth (life) to the greys
and blacks etc. ?

Assuming the age of this universe to be ~16 billion years.  And life on Earth
is < 4 billion years.  Human kind < 40,000 years.  It seems very reasonable to
me that life forms on other planets should have evolved far beyond human kind
and most likely far beyond the greys and blacks that are still rutting in the
dirt of life.

I find the discourse in this group is mostly focused on n+1 principles.  That
is they ( greys & blacks) are + evolved compared to earth humans.  As earth
humans are + evolved compared to single cell life.  This of course forces the
greys and blacks to be - evolved compared to the "higher" race.  
Personally, I believe, molecular domains have long been inhabited by
intelligence far beyond that of humans, greys or blacks.  Those that inhabit
the molecular domains are poised to act when a being in either the chemical or
electrical domains is able to communicate.   

Gary, your stories (experiences) are great.  However, it is a life I would not
prefer to inhabit.

Its hard to leave when you are already home.

If there are aliens intellegent enough to get between stars I'm quite
certain that they are as self aware (having a soul) as we are. There is
no soul seperate from the body, awareness is some intrinsic property of
very complex systems (like the brain).

not his clone, does the job too well.

Dear Folks: I was thinking about stopping the Astral Train after this
the seventh week, but Kumar thinks he just about has it down
pat so we'll take off again at the same time. Kumar claims that Don
Showen and I were bothering the heck out of him in his dreams. Sorry 
about that.  A person named Hari in Europe is interested in all of this
information so I'll be sending it to him by floppy disk if it is
possible for me to do that. This weeks OOB trip will be going to
Wyoming, USA to the Royal Teton Mountains. They have a nice place there
that I'm sure you will all enjoy. Happy journey to you. It is my 
opinion that everybody travels astrally when they go to sleep even if
you don't believe in it. Just say before you go to bed; "I want to go
with John tonight while I'm asleep to the Royal Tetons".
Try to remember what you did the next morning.

	That aside, I am curious as to whether anyone out there has
	seen the UFO documentary "SIGHTINGS" shown in the US on the
	FOX network approx.  6 months ago.

... apparently, this show's first episode of the season (tonight, I
think) is another UFO show.  The show is on every Friday night, and
usually does 10-or-so minutes on several different "paranormal" 
topics, topics like the old "In Search Of" show used to do, though
sometimes it does a whole show on a single topic.

Subject: Ruins of a 30,000 Year Old City. Part 3.
  After getting back in our cars we went about 5 more miles
up the PC highway, then turned right on a road that sounds
like Belken, It is not my purpose to tell people exactly where this city is but if you really want to find it you will or you can 
take the tour. You might get killed if you try this the wrong way. 
We encountered snakes, poison oak, poison ivy and some trails that
can be very dangerous if you don't have a good guide to direct you.
  After going up this road for a mile or two we came to an area
where a large rock wall came down a hill.  It was missing when it
went across the road then it started again and went up the hill.
R. pointed out that the wall was made of cement and artificial rock.
I made for sure that I was hearing him right by asking him if he 
didn't mean that the walls were made by just picking up the stones
on the ground and cementing them together. Her then stated that it
was made of artificial rock. These walls were about 10 feet tall
and about 2 feet wide. He said that the walls were made to keep wild animals such as the saber toothed tiger (not that they were alive
then) and wild people out.
  I the told R. that these walls looked exactly like the Mysterious
Rock Walls that extend from Berkeley, Calif. to Milpitas and have
to do with the focusing of Ley Lines. He said that he had heard of
them and it was true about the Ley Lines. He had shown a geologist 
some outcroppings in mountains before but he refused to recognize
them as anything artificial. He believes that these walls were
originally made to have a charge on them and would shock a person
if they touched the walls.
  R. mentioned that these walls were the last thing that he discov-
ed about the city and were the iceing on the cake that proved to 
him that the city was an actuality.
  After seeing this wall we went about a mile and saw another wall
that was 20 feet tall and 50 feet long and was at an angle to the
ground. This wall had been laid down in different layers using 
different  colors of material. All of this reminded me of a 
boulder that I and a friend tore apart using just a screw driver and 
no hammer. This was up on Mission Peak in the Fremont, Calif. area.
The boulder looked like any other rock but after you chipped away
the outside vineer the inside was made of smaller rocks put together
with cement. As you went further inside the boulder it was evident
that it was man made.

Now the question is: Who is their advertising agency?

You want to do some research and find out which ad agencies made those
commercials?

The point is that it isn't the companies who necessarilly come up with the
ad campaigns, it's the agencies they hire.

In any case, the "sudden rush" to do the commercials *can* be explained
without resorting to conspiracy theories.  Until such time as contradictory
evidence is available, I'll stick with the simple explanation: Savvy
advertising agencies capitalizing on a trend.

Please for your own sake, do investigate ALL of Cooper's claims. We
have seen this text here way too many times..each time it's the Same

I would believe _anything_ that "Uncle Milty" has to say..which is
to say..not!
 
Criminy. Did you know that Cooper just took down his BBS? You
would know if you were on the Fido UFO, ParaNet or MUFON UFO
echoes. Looks like I need to post a few articles on Cooper (again).

This is the _same_ William Milton Cooper who sez that it was *Greer*
(JFK's driver) that shot JFK. The very *same* Cooper who insists
that we built bases on the MOON,ad nauseum...
