  Brazel takes a few scraps of the wreckage found on the ranch, to the
home of his nearest neighbors, the Proctors. He shows them a "little
sliver" of material he can neither cut nor burn. Floyd & Loretta
Proctor suggest he take it into town to show the sherrif. (Randle &
Schmitt, 1994, p. 162-163.)
   **********
  Inside the base hospital, Dennis meets a nurse he knows, and is
confronted by two officers. A red-haired captain  tells dennis that he
has seen nothing and heard nothing; if he opens his mouth, they will be
picking his bones out of the sand ( Ibid., also Randle. A Casebook of
UFO Crashes, 1995. & Unsolved Mysteryies, 1995.)
   *********
   Saturday, July 5th Evening.
  Military bases along the West Coast have fighters on standby in case
the "Flying Discs" are seen. A few bases in Oregon & Washington have
planes equiped with gun cameras on airborne alert. ( Ibid, p. 163 )
   *********
  Brazel removes a large, circular piece of debris from the range. He
stores it in a livestock shed about 3 miles north of the crash site. (
Ibid.)
    ********
  The bodies are sealed into a long crate, which is taken into a
hangar. It is left there overnight, with spotlights playing upon it.
  Melvin Brown & other soldiers are ordered to stand gaurd outside.
Brown's commanding officer tries to get a peek, but everything has been
crated & is ready for shipment. ( Ibid.)

Project Icarus was a plan devised by the Massachusetts Institute of

orbiting the Earth at a specified distance in space to protect us from just
such an event.  I forget what year this came out, but now would be a good
time to reinstitute the plan, if we haven't already.  (-:
In my case, YES!  It would be redundant, but not everyone feels as we do.

First of all, when Columbus traveled to the West Indies he wasn't
thinking of a one way trip. Comunication is the bases of human comunity
and if it's eliminated, the comunity stops to exist. A one way trip
would couse just that. And you can't accelerate to c - molecules
breaking up and stuff can cause a problem :) I don't think your
exlonation has any scientific explonation basis either. At a constant
acceleration of 1g it would require tremondous ammounts of energy at
speed over 0.5c. And travelling at 0.99c, the space get's compressed
pretty much around the spacecraft (it's not just the spacecraft that
"compressed" due to speed but the entire Universe is compressed as well
- ie. for a photon, the Universe doesn't exist; it  has 0 length :).
This means that your 1atom/m3 of space actually get's pretty large - I
can't provide you with a value because I'm too lazzy to calculate it
right now. :)
PS Relativity states that spacetime "compression" is relative to the
frame reference. For a spaceship a universe will not be compressed but
when you accound time dialation, the spacetime will _appear_ to be
compressed.
                spacetime "compression" + time dialation = k <- some
                                                                constant

 Re:Radar signature.
  It was a combination of things I am led to believe. It was its speed,
its maneuvars, its size (?), and most importantly, its areas of
apparent interest. Namely, the most high-tech & sensitive areas
existant in the world at that time period.
  Plus, post WWII nerves certainly played a part.
 Sincerely,
 Matt.

assistant: Re:Varrious abduction issues.
  Radar traces. True, anomalies are common, however when they occur on
military radar in CONJUNCTION with a civilian UFO case, its strongly
suggestive.
  These days, NORAD has radar & radar technicians beyond anything you &
I can imagine. And yes, UFO events occur on these.
  Witnesses discounted. How about multiple witnesses geographically
near but seperated? Telling the same story?
  I believe that Vallee' found the stranger an experience is, the more
it is either to be rationalized, or if that fails, repressed from
memory. It does not tend to make up more disturbing pictures.

not 100 percent proof, some are HIGHLY interesting.

 Brazel gets up early, completes his chores, and then drives to

Wilcox. The sherrif is excited about the find and suggest the base be
notified. (Randle & Schmitt, 1994, 1991)

  Glenn Dennis locates his nurse friend at 11:30 AM, who agrees to meet
for lunch. He drives out to the Officers Club. (Ibid, p.163)

roads off Highway 285, from Vaughn, and to the west, are guarded by MPs
who will allow no one to pass. ( Randle & Schmitt, 1994. P.164 )

    Frank Joyce, a reporter and announcer for KGFL, calls Sheriff
Wilcox and inquires if anything interesting is happening at the office.
Wilcox refers him to Brazel. ( Ibid.)
     *********
   Col. Blanchard, Orders Jesse A. Marcel, the intelligence officer, to
investigate Brazel's debris. Marcel goes immediately to the Sheriff's
office. Marcel interviews Brazel, examines the pieces of material
Brazel brought with him, and decides he had better visit the ranch
himself.
  Marcel returns to the base and reports to Blanchard. Recognizing he
has something very unusual, Blanchard, informs his superiors.
  Marcel returns with Cpt. Sheridan Cavitt, to Wilcox's office. They
escort Brazel back to the ranch. (Ibid., Randle & Schmitt, 1991. See

with,
I will agree with you to a point Ivy. However if you think about it the
skeptics (or people who call themselves that) online are hardly a fair
sampling of the species. I think of myself as a skeptic, because I do not
see being skeptical as "close-minded". When a person is truely skeptical
they do not believe everything they hear, but they are open minded enough
to at least have a wait and see attitude.

I am not sorry at all for them, we only learn when we allow ourselves to

How is that.  Eyewitness is called 1st person.  A person in the presence of
a crime is an eyewitness.  Period.  And it is usually the only type a court
will accept.  Hearsay is not admissable, as in "I heard that so and so  did
this".  You certainly have it backwards.

assistant: Hi Ivy,
         Well, on a minor point, it  seems over  so many  decades there  is
always coming to light some form of scandal.  Cover-up.  Governments always
seem to have something  hidden.  There  was Watergate,  there was  this and
that, history is full of it.  I would not always say "lying", in some cases
perhaps, I would rather call it 'not divulging'.  Or rather a policy of 'we
are mute'.  It is quite obvious.  There is  an illogical  protection policy
around a subject that is officially  regarded as  nonsense.
        There  is  also  a  collection of  data by  parties who  profess no
interest in the subject.  Again this is odd.  These parties have shown that
when politely asked they admit to no data, and when  forced, suddenly  they
have data.  Again an oddity.  To myself that  spells "policy".   The policy
is simple, only admit to data, if absolutely necessary.  But why.  That is
the key question, why not freely hand it out, this subject has  been termed
a non security issue.  This UFO business is  a sham  according to  official
position.  A skeptic may reason that intel procedures could be compromised,
that is unlikely, since intel procedures  have to  change within  a certain
time period.  Therefore on older files, there is no danger of exposure. Yet
these files are still classified.  So it likely your analysis  is accurate.
There is more here than meets the eye.  Not that I concur with say  Roswell
etc, for my own reasons, but let us just say the intel organizations have
some data.........
Happy Trails,
Fred.
