                        THE GREATEST HACKER OF ALL TIME
                                 by Dave Small
                (c) 1987 Reprinted from Current Notes magazine.

            The  question  comes  up  from time  to  time.   "Who's  the
       greatest hacker ever?  "Well, there's a lot of different opinions
       on  this.  Some say Steve Wozniak of Apple II fame.   Maybe  Andy
       Hertzfeld  of  the Mac operating system.  Richard  Stallman,  say
       others, of MIT.  Yet at such times when I mention who I think the
       greatest hacker is, everyone agrees (provided they know of  him),
       and there's no further argument. So, let me introduce you to him,
       and  his greatest hack.  I'll warn you right up front  that  it's
       mind  numbing.  By the way, everything I'm going to tell  you  is
       true  and verifiable down at your local library.  Don't worry  --
       we're  not  heading off into a Shirley MacLaine  UFO-land  story.
       Just some classy electrical engineering...

                      THE SCENE: COLORADO SPRINGS, CO.

            Colorado  Springs  is in southern Colorado,  about  70  mile
       south  of Denver.  These days it is known as the home of  several
       optical  disk  research corporations and of  NORAD,  the  missile
       defense  command  under Cheyenne Mountain.  (I  have  a  personal
       interest  in  Colorado  Springs; my wife Sandy  grew  up  there.)
       These  events  took place some time ago in Colorado  Springs.   A
       scientist  had  moved into town and set up a laboratory  on  Hill
       Street,  on  the southern outskirts.  The lab had a  two  hundred
       foot copper antenna sticking up out of it, looking something like
       a  HAM radio enthusiast's antenna. He moved in and started  work.
       And  strange  electrical things happened near that  lab.   People
       would walk near the lab, and sparks would jump up from the ground
       to their feet, through the soles of their shoes.  One boy took  a
       screwdriver,  held it near a fire hydrant, and drew a  four  inch
       electrical  spark from the hydrant.  Sometimes the  grass  around
       his  lab would glow with an eerie blue corona, St.  Elmo's  Fire.
       What  they didn't know was this was small stuff.  The man in  the
       lab was merely tuning up his apparatus.  He was getting ready  to
       run  it  wide  open  in an experiment that  ranks  as  among  the
       greatest,  and most spectacular, of all time. One side effect  of
       his  experiment  was  the  setting of  the  record  for  man-made
       lightning: some 42 meters in length (130 feet).

                                      Page 1





                              THE MAN: NIKOLA TESLA.

       His name was Nikola Tesla.  He was an immigrant from what is  now
       Yugoslavia;  there's a museum of his works in Belgrade.   He's  a
       virtual    unknown   in   the   United   States,   despite    his
       accomplishments.  I'm not sure why.  Some people feel it's a dark
       plot,  the same people who are into conspiracy theories.  I  feel
       it's  more  that Tesla, while a brilliant inventor, was  also  an
       awful  businessman; he ended up going broke.  Businessmen who  go
       broke  fade  out of the public eye; we see this in  the  computer
       industry  all  the time.  Edison, who wasn't  near  the  inventor
       Tesla was, but who was  a better businessman, is well  remembered
       as is his General Electric.  Still, let me list a few of  Tesla's
       works  just so you'll understand how bright he was.  He  invented
       the  AC  motor and transformer.  (Think of every  motor  in  your
       house.)    He  invented  3-phase  electricity   and   popularized
       alternating current, the electrical distribution system used  all
       over the world.  He invented the Tesla Coil, which makes the high
       voltage that drives the picture tube in your computer's CRT.   He
       is now credited with inventing modern radio as well; the  Supreme
       Court overturned Marconi's patent in 1943 in favor of Tesla.

            Tesla,  in short, invented much of the equipment  that  gets
       power  to your home every day from miles away, and many that  use
       that  power  inside  your  home.   His  inventions  made   George
       Westinghouse  (Westinghouse Corp.) a wealthy man.   Finally,  the
       unit of magnetic flux in the metric system is the "tesla".  Other
       units include the "faraday" and the "henry", so you'll understand
       this  is  an honor given to few.  So we're not talking  about  an
       unknown  here,  but  rather a solid  electrical  engineer.  Tesla
       whipped  through  a number of inventions early in his  life.   He
       found  himself  increasingly  interested  in  resonance,  and  in
       particular,  electrical  resonance.  Tesla  found  out  something
       fascinating.  If you set an electrical circuit to resonating,  it
       does  strange things indeed.  Take for instance his  Tesla  Coil.
       This  high  frequency step-up transformer would kick  out  a  few
       hundred  thousand volts at radio frequencies.  The voltage  would
       come  off the top of his coil as a "corona", or brush  discharge.
       The  little  ones put out a six-inch spark; the  big  ones  throw
       sparks  many feet long.  Yet Tesla could draw the sparks  to  his
       fingers  without  being  hurt  --  the  high  frequency  of   the
       electricity keeps it on the surface of the skin, and prevents the
       current  from  doing  any  harm.  Tesla  got  to  thinking  about
       resonance   on  a  large  scale.   He'd  already  pioneered   the
       electrical distribution system we use today, and that's not small
       thinking; when you  think of Tesla, think big. He thought,  let's
       say I send an electrical charge into the ground.  What happens to
       it?   Well, the ground is an excellent conductor of  electricity.

            Let  me  spend  a   moment  on this  so you understand, because
       topsoil  doesn't  seem  very  conductive   to   most.    The  ground
       makes  a wonderful  sinkhole  for electricity.    This  is  why  you
       "ground" power tools;  the  third  (round) pin in every AC outlet in
       your house  is wired straight to, literally, the  ground.

            Typically, the handle of your  power  tool  is hooked to ground
       this way, if something shorts out in the tool and  the  handle  gets
       electrified,the current ruches  to  the  ground instead of into you.
       The ground has  long  been  used  in this manner, as a conductor.

                                      Page 2





            Tesla generates a powerful pulse of electricity, and  drains
       it into the  ground.   Because  the ground is conductive, it doesn't
       stop.  Rather, it spreads out like  a  radio  wave, traveling at the
       speed  of  light, 186,000  miles per second.  And  it  keeps  going,
       because it's  a  powerful  wave;   it doesn't  peter out after a few
       miles.  It passes through the iron  core  of  the earth with  little
       trouble. After all, molten iron is very conductive.  When  the  wave
       reaches the far side of the planet, it bounces back,  like a wave
       in  water  bounces  when  it  reaches  an  obstruction.  Since it
       bounces, it makes  a   return   trip; eventually, it returns to  the
       point of origin.  Now,  this idea  might  seem  wild.  But it  isn't
       science fiction.   We bounced  radar  beams  off  the moon in the
       1950's, and we  mapped Venus by radar in the 1970's.  Those  planets
       are millions  of  miles  away.  The earth is a  mere  3000  miles
       in diameter;  sending  an  electromagnetic  wave  through it is a
       piece of cake.   We   can   sense earthquakes all the way across the
       planet  by  the  vibrations  they  set  up  that  travel all that
       distance.  So, while  at  first   thought  it  seems  amazing,  it's
       really  pretty  straight  forward. But, as I said,  it's  a  typical
       example  of  how  Tesla  thought.   And  then  he  had one of his
       typically Tesla ideas.

            He thought,   when   the  wave returns to me (about 1/30th of a
       second  after  he  sends it in),  it's  going to be  considerably
       weakened by the  trip.  Why  doesn't  he  send  in another charge at
       this point, to strengthen the wave? The two will  combine,  go  out,
       and bounce again.   And   then  he'll reinforce it again, and again.
       The  wave will build up  in power.   It's  like  pushing a swingset.
       You  give a  series of small pushes each time the  swing  goes  out.
       And  you  build up a lot of  power with a series of small pushes;
       ever tried to stop a swing when it's going full tilt?  He  wanted
       to find out  the  upper  limit of resonance.  And  he  was  in for a
       surprise.

                             THE HACK: THE TESLA COIL

       So Tesla moved into Colorado Springs, where one of his generators
       and  electrical systems had been installed, and set up  his  lab.
       Why Colorado Springs?  Well, his lab in New York had burned down,
       and  he was depressed about that.  And as fate would have  it,  a
       friend  in  Colorado  Springs who  directed  the  power  company,
       Leonard  Curtis, offered him free electricity.  Who could  resist
       that? After setting up his lab, he tuned his gigantic Tesla  coil
       through  that year, trying to get it to resonate  perfectly  with
       the  earth  below.   And  the  townspeople  noticed  those  weird
       effects; Tesla was electrifying the ground beneath their feet  on
       the  return  bounce  of the wave. Eventually, he  got  it  tuned,
       keeping things at low power.  But in the spirit of a true hacker,
       just once he decided to run it wide open, just to see what  would
       happen.  Just what was the upper limit of the wave he would build
       up, bouncing back and forth in the planet below? He had his  Coil
       hooked to the ground below it, the 200 foot antenna above it, and
       getting as much electricity as he wanted right off the city power
       supply  mains.  Tesla went outside to watch (wearing  three  inch
       rubber soles for insulation) and had his assistant, Kolman Czito,
       turn  the Coil on. There was a buzz from rows of oil  capacitors,
       and  a roar from the spark gap as wrist-thick arcs jumped  across
       it.   Inside  the  lab the noise was deafening.   But  Tesla  was
       outside,  watching the antenna.  Any surge that returned  to  the

                                      Page 3





       area would run up the antenna and jump off as lightning. Off  the
       top of the antenna shot a six foot lightning bolt.  The bolt kept
       going  in a steady arc, though, unlike a single lightning  flash.
       And  here  Tesla watched carefully, for he wanted to see  if  the
       power  would build up, if his wave theory would work.   Soon  the
       lightning  was  twenty feet long, then fifty.   The  surges  were
       growing more powerful.  Eighty feet -- now thunder was  following
       each lightning bolt.  A hundred feet, a hundred twenty feet;  the
       lightning  shot  upwards  off the  antenna.   Thunder  was  heard
       booming around Tesla now (it was heard 22 miles away, in the town
       of  Cripple Creek).  The meadow Tesla was standing in was lit  up
       with  an  electrical discharge very much like  St.  Elmo's  Fire,
       casting  a blue glow.  His theory had worked!  There didn't  seem
       to  be  an upper limit to the surges; he was  creating  the  most
       powerful  electrical surges ever created by man.  That moment  he
       set the record, which he still holds, for manmade lightning. Then
       everything halted.  The lightning discharges stopped, the thunder
       quit.   He  ran in, found the power company had  turned  off  his
       power  feed.   He  called  them, shouted at  them  --  they  were
       interrupting  his experiment! The foreman replied that Tesla  had
       just  overloaded the generator and set it on fire, his lads  were
       busy putting out the fire in the windings, and it would be a cold
       day  in  hell  before  Tesla got any more  free  power  from  the
       Colorado Springs power company!

         All  the  lights in Colorado Springs had gone  out.  And  that,
       readers,  is to me the greatest hack in history.  I've seen  some
       amazing  hacks.   The  8-bit Atari OS.  The Mac  OS.   The  phone
       company  computers  -- well, lots of computers.  But  I've  never
       seen  anyone  set the world's lightning record and shut  off  the
       power  to an entire town, "just to see what would happen". For  a
       few  moments,  there in Colorado Springs, he  achieved  something
       never before done.  He had used the entire planet as a conductor,
       and sent a pulse through it.  In that one moment in the summer of
       1899, he made electrical history.  That's right, in 1899 --  darn
       near a hundred years ago.  Well, you may say to yourself,  that's
       a  nice story, and I'm sure George Lucas could make a hell  of  a
       move  about it, special effects and all.  But it's  not  relevant
       today. Or isn't it?  Hang on to your hat.

                            THE SDI AND THE TESLA COIL

            Last month we talked about an amazing hack that Nikola Tesla
       did  -- bouncing an electrical wave through the planet, in  1899,
       and  setting  the  world's record  for  manmade  lightning.  This
       month,let  me lay a little political groundwork.  Last October  I
       attended  Hackercon  2.0, another gathering of  computer  hackers
       from all over.  It was an informal weekend at a camp in the hills
       west  of  Santa Clara. One of the more  interesting  memories  of
       Hackers  2.0  were the numerous diatribes against  the  Strategic
       Defense  Initiative.   Most speakers claimed it  was  impossible,
       citing  technical  problems.  So many people  felt  obligated  to
       complain  about  SDI  that the  conference  was  jokingly  called
       "SDIcon  2.0".  Probably the high(?) point of the conference  was
       Jerry Pournelle and Timothy Leary up on stage debating SDI.  I'll
       leave  the description to your imagination -- it  was  everything
       you  can think of and more.  Personally, I was disturbed  to  see
       how many gifted hackers adopting the attitude of "let's not  even
       try".   That's  not how micros got started.  I mentioned  to  one

                                      Page 4





       Time magazine journalist that if anyone could make SDI go, it was
       the  hackers  gathered there.  I also believe that  the  greatest
       hacker  of  them  all, Nikola Tesla,  solved  the  SDI  technical
       problem back in 1899.  The event was so long ago, and so amazing,
       that it's pretty much been forgotten; I described it last  issue.
       Let me present my case for the Tesla Coil and SDI.

                           SOVIET USE OF THE TESLA COIL

            You  will  recall I said that Tesla was born  in  Yugoslavia
       (although back then, it was "Serbo-Croatia").  He is not  unknown
       there;  he  is regarded as a national hero.  Witness  the  Nikola
       Tesla   museum   in  Belgrade,  for   instance.    There's   been
       interferences  picked  up, on this side of the planet,  which  is
       causing  problems  in  the ham radio  bands.   Direction  finding
       equipment  has  traced  the interference in the SW  band  to  two
       sources  in  the  Soviet Union, which  are  apparently  two  high
       powered  Tesla Coils. Why on earth are the Soviets  playing  with
       Tesla  Coils?   There's one odd theory  that  they're  subjecting
       Canada  to  low level electrical interference to  cause  attitude
       change.  Sigh.  Moving right along, there's another theory,  more
       credible, that they are conducting research in "over the horizon"
       radar using Tesla's ideas.  (The Soviets are certainly not saying
       what  they're doing.) When I read about this testing, it  worried
       me.   I  don't  think they're playing with  attitude  control  or
       radar.  I think they're doing exactly what Tesla did in  Colorado
       Springs.

                              COMPUTERS AND GROUNDING

            Time  for  another discussion of grounding.   Consider  your
       computer equipment.  You've doubtlessly been warned about  static
       electricity,   always   been  told  to  ground   yourself   (thus
       discharging  the static into the ground, an electrical  sinkhole)
       before touching your computer.  Companies make anti-static  spray
       for  your  rugs.  Static is in the 20,000 to 50,000  volt  range.
       Computer  chips  run  on  five to  twelve  volts.   The  internal
       insulation is built for that much voltage.  When they get a  shot
       of static in the multiple thousand volt range, the insulation  is
       punctured,  and the chip ruined.  Countless computers  have  been
       damaged this way.  Read any manual on inserting memory chips to a
       PC,  and  you'll see warnings about static; it's a  big  problem.
       Now  Tesla was working in the millions of volts range.   And  his
       special idea -- that the ground itself could be the  conductor --
       now  comes  into  relevance, nearly a  hundred  years  after  his
       dramatic demonstration in Colorado Springs. For, you see, in  our
       wisdom  we've grounded our many computers, to protect  them  from
       static.   We've  always  assumed  the  ground  is  an  electrical
       sinkhole.   So, with our three-pin plugs we ground everything  --
       the  two  flat  pins  in your wall go  to  electricity  (hot  and
       neutral);  the third, round pin, goes straight to  ground.   That
       third  pin  is usually hooked with a thick wire to a  cold  water
       pipe,  which  grounds it effectively. Tesla proved that  you  can
       give  that  ground a terrific charge, millions of volts  of  high
       frequency  electricity.   (Tesla ran his large coil at  33  Khz).
       Remember, the lightning surging off his Coil was coming from  the
       wave  bouncing back and forth in the planet below. In  short,  he
       was modifying the ground's electrical potential, changing it from
       an  electrical  sinkhole to an electrical source. Tesla  did  his

                                      Page 5





       experiment  in  1899.   There weren't  any  home  computers  with
       delicate  chips  hooked up to grounds then.  If there  had  been,
       he'd  have  fried  everything in  Colorado  Springs.  There  was,
       however,  one piece of electrical equipment grounded at the  time
       of the experiment, the city power generator.  It caught fire  and
       ended   Tesla's  experiment.   The  cause  of  its   failure   is
       interesting  as  well.  It died from "high  frequency  kickback",
       something  most  electrical engineers know about.   Tesla  forgot
       that  as  the  generator fed him power, he was  feeding  it  high
       frequency   from   his  Coil.   High  frequency   quickly   heats
       insulation;  a microwave oven works on the same principle.  In  a
       few  minutes,  the insulation inside that generator grew  so  hot
       that the generator caught fire. When the lights went out all over
       Colorado Springs, there was the first proof that Tesla's idea has
       strategic possibilities.  It gets scarier.  Imagine Tesla's Coil,
       busily  pumping an electrical wave in the Earth.  On his side  of
       the planet, he was getting 130 foot sparks, which is a hell of  a
       lot of voltage and current.  And simple wave theory will show you
       that those sort of potentials exist on the far side of the planet
       as  well.  Remember, the wave was bouncing back and forth,  being
       reinforced  on  every trip. The big question is how  focused  the
       opposite  electrical pole will be.  No one knows.  But  it  seems
       probable  that  the far side of the planet's ground  target  area
       could be subjected to considerable electrical interference.   And
       if  computer  equipment is plugged inot that  ground,  faithfully
       assuming  the ground will never be a source of electricity,  it's
       just  too  bad  for  that equipment.   This  sort  of  electrical
       interference  makes  static look tiny by comparison.  It  doesn't
       take  much  difference  in ground potential to  kill  a  computer
       connected  across it.  Lightning strikes cause a temporary  flare
       in ground voltage; I remember replacing driver chips on a network
       on  all computers that had been caught by one  lightning  strike,
       when I lived in Austin. Imagine the effect on relatively delicate
       electronics  if someone fires up a Tesla Coil on the far side  of
       the planet, and subjects the grounds to steep electrical  swings.
       The  military applications are pretty obvious -- those ICBM's  in
       North Dakota, for instance.  It's possible they could be  damaged
       in their silos, and from thousands of miles away. Running two  or
       more Coils, you don't have to bee exactly on the far side of  the
       planet,  either.  Interference effects can give you  high  points
       where  you  need  with varied tunings.  Maybe,  just  maybe,  the
       Soviets  aren't doing "over the horizon" radar.  Maybe they  just
       bothered  to read Tesla's notes.  And maybe they are tuning up  a
       real big surprise with their twin Coils.

                          "STAR WARS" AND THE TESLA COIL

            You've  heard of the Strategic Defense Initiative, or  "Star
       Wars".   We're  searching  for a way to stop  a  nuclear  attack.
       Right now, we've got all sorts of high powered research projects,
       with  the emphasis on "new technology".  Excimer  laser,  kinetic
       kill techniques, and even more exotic ideas.  As any of you  know
       that  have  written computer programs, it's darned  hard  to  get
       something  "new" to work. Maybe it's an error to focus  on  "new"
       exclusively.   Wouldn't  it be something if the solution  to  SDI
       lies  a hundred years ago, in the forgotten brilliance of  Nikola
       Tesla?   For  right  now we can  immobilize  the  electronics  of
       installations  half a planet away.  The technology to do  it  was
       achieved  in  1899, and promptly forgotten. Remember,  we're  not

                                      Page 6





       talking vague, unproven theories here.  We're talking the world's
       record for lightning, and the inventor whose power system  lights
       up your house at night.

                               THE TESLA COIL WORKS.

            All  we'd have to do is build it. You might not believe  the
       story  about  Tesla in Colorado Springs, and what he  did.   It's
       pretty amazing.  It has a way of being forgotten because of that.
       And  I'm  not  sure you want to hear about  the  SDI  connection.
       Still, as you work on a computer, remember Tesla.  His Tesla Coil
       supplies  the  high voltage for the picture tube  you  use.   The
       electricity  for  your  computer comes from  a  Tesla  design  AC
       generator, is sent through a Tesla transformer, and gets to  your
       house  through 3-phase Tesla power.  Tesla's inventions...   they
       have a way of working..

                     Townsend Brown and his Anti-Gravity Discs
                                by Gaston Burridge

       Thomas Townsend Brown  has  been flying  strange  metal  saucer-like
       discs of his own secret design and make for more  than  30  years  -
       some big ones too, up to 30 inches in diameter!

       Mostly, Brown has flown his discs in good old common air.  The discs
       are tethered to  a  mast  or  pole  and the thin, double-saucer-like
       things fly a circle around and around the mast in free flight.

       Only a slight hum is audible as they  fly.   In  the  dark they glow
       with an eerie lavender light, revealing their motive  power which is
       a kind of electricity.

       Many scientists and  engineers  have watched these discs fly.  Under
       their breath, and sometimes out loud,  most  of  them  have said the
       force which makes  Brown's  discoids spin is one which  every  high-
       school physics student knows about - "Electric Wind" - and not a new
       principle Brown has discovered at all!

       One engineer told  me, "The whole thing is so screwball I don't want
       to even talk about it!"  Another  said,  "The  device  is only about
       one-tenth of one  percent  efficient."  Both these  statements  have
       since been proved  incorrect!   Most  other  engineers object to the
       lack of mathematical  substantiation   presented   by   Brown.    To
       engineers and scientists  one  equation is worth a  thousand  words!
       But even an  equation is of little use unless it has values assigned
       to at least  some  of  its  main   parts.    When   these  were  not
       forthcoming, from a technical point of view, it appeared  Brown  was
       walking on straw legs.

       Then recently Brown  went  to  France.   Under  what was virtually a
       French Government sponsored   program    of   research,   Air-France
       successfully flew some of the Brown discs in a HIGH VACUUM!

       And that took  all  the  "electric  wind"  out  of   the  previously
       dissenting sails1  These  tests  were of a highly secret nature and,
       because of this, and, because they  were  made  in a foreign nation,
       their results REMAIN CLASSIFIED.

       One by one, U.S. engineering and scientific heads are beginning to

                                      Page 1





       show above the  storm  cellars.   It  is  now  quietly admitted that
       perhaps Brown may have something after all!

       One thing he DOES have which he has  not  had  before  is a sponsor!
       Perhaps that is the reason for the heads showing from  the  cellars.
       There is nothing quite like having financial backing.

       What do Brown's inventions mean?  Another kind, type, or arrangement
       of high-speed flight,  both  within  our  own  atmosphere and in the
       space beyond it!

       How will it compare as a motive force with the rocket motors and the
       jet engines of today?  Of course,  we  cannot  say  yet but there is
       nothing to indicate Brown's method will not compete  most  favorably
       with them.  Brown's  method  has definite "anti-gravitic potentials'
       which their rockets or jets do not  have.  Because of present patent
       situations many details of the Brown system must be  by-passed here,
       but it seems  they  represent  no small item in the total picture of
       space flight.

       Since 1923 Brown and his family have  spent nearly $250,000 of their
       own funds on  experiments  and research into the mysteries  of  that
       strangest of strange   electrical   phenomenon,  the  "Biefeld-Brown
       Effect".  Electrical literature   contains   few  writings  on  this
       subject, mostly because  Brown has maintained a tight  grip  on  the
       information and has   not   seen   fit   to   write  on  the  matter
       scientifically or otherwise.  No  one  else  has  seemed inclined to
       research the matter.  What is more American scientific  journals are
       open to few  ideas  that  DO  NOT  ORIGINATE with men CONNECTED WITH
       LARGE UNIVERSITY or COMMERCIAL RESEARCH LABORATORIES!

       I first heard of Townsend Brown and  his  Biefeld-Brown  Effect from
       Mr. Arlin C.  Hauser.   Hauser  is  a designer and builder  of  fine
       technical instruments in  Pasadena who doesn't hold an idea at arms-
       length because it  is  "new".  Hauser  furnished  me  a  copy  of  a
       monograph titled, "A  SIMPLIFIED EXPLANATION OF THE  APPLICATION  OF
       THE BIEFELD-BROWN EFFECT  TO  THE  SOLUTION OF THE PROBLEMS OF SPACE
       NAVIGATION".  This monograph  was   published  by  Dr.  Mason  Rose,
       president of the University for Social Research,  Los  Angeles,  but
       was actually written,  I  learned  later,  by  Mr. Bradford Shank, a
       nuclear scientist, formally  of   Los   Alamos,   now   engaged   in
       engineering work for a Los Angeles aircraft valve manufacturer.

       Some of the information set forth in this monograph  rang a bell way
       back in my memory.

       Between 1919 and  1925 I was "errand boy" in a laboratory conducting
       experiments with high   potential,    high   frequency   alternating
       currents.  We were  playing with a million volts at  750,000  cycles
       per second!  A  new  type of electrical condenser had been built and
       was to be  tested.  It was hooked  into  the  circuit  but  was  not
       "bolted down" - it was heavy.

       The director stood  at  the  switchboard;  the  rest   of  us  at  a
       respectful distance away.   The switch was thrown.  There was a hum,
       a bursting flash of green and purple  light,  a loud bang, a violent
       lurch and twist of the new condenser and that piece of apparatus lay
       a smoking ruin!  The director said, "Gentlemen, our  baby  has grown
       up!"

                                      Page 2





       It is this movement manifest in an electrical condenser which is the
       essence of the Biefeld-Brown Effect.  This movement makes the Effect
       highly interesting as an anti-gravitic force!

       The Biefeld-Brown Effect says an electrical condenser, when charged,
       will MOVE TORWARD  its  positive pole and remain so positioned UNTIL
       DISCHARGED, if free to do so, regardless of WHICH POLE or WHICH SIDE
       of the dielectric is made positive.

       This movement does  not  disregard   the  time-honored  "law"  which
       indicates every action  carries  within it an equal  reaction.   The
       reaction, as in  gravitation,  is  present  BUT  NOT  OBVIOUS.   The
       reaction is a finite but vanishingly small movement of all the other
       matter in the Universe.  But the nearest  masses  are affected first
       and most!

       The Effect was first observed when the condenser plates were charged
       with a DIRECT CURRENT.  But the experience noted  above,  which  was
       observed subsequently during  other experiments, indicates something
       of the same phenomenon is present  when  condensers are charged with
       ALTERNATING current also  -  but probably not as effectively  or  as
       lastingly.

       While these alternating  current  condenser  MOVEMENTS were noted at
       the time, especially  when  the condensers  were  initially  charged
       after a long  and complete discharge, those directing  the  research
       then believed the movements were due to resonances set up within the
       apparatus by the  60-cycle  feed  currents.   Thus, this phenomenon,
       though noted, was never investigated  by  the  group  to which I was
       attached.

       This electrical condenser movement is believed to  have  been  first
       perceived and examined  by  Dr.  Paul  Alfred  Biefeld, professor of
       physics and astronomy, Denison University, Granville, Ohio, sometime
       before 1923.

       However, search of the Denison University's own published scientific
       records does not indicate Dr. Biefeld  wrote anything regarding this
       discovery while there.   Dr. Lawrence Biefeld, a  son  of  Dr.  Paul
       Alfred Biefeld, writes  me  that  he does not recall his father ever
       having mentioned discovering such  an effect!  However, Mr. Bradford
       Shank who has been intimately associated with several  phases of the
       Townsend Brown Foundation  and  its  work  for several years relates
       that Dr. Biefeld did originate the  initial research into the Effect
       itself and also directed Townsend Brown, then a student  at Denision
       University, in Brown's early interest in the matter.

       Although the Effect may have been recognized first by Dr. Biefeld, a
       greater part of  the  development  research  and  ALL  the practical
       application of it has been carried  on  by Brown - mostly at his own
       expense, over a period of more than 30 years.

       Apparently the Effect was named by someone else writing  a report on
       the subject.  But had it not been for Townsend Brown's long interest
       and research this  Effect  might  remain  unrecorded and unexploited
       still!

       Evidence indicates the entire Universe, from the greatest systems of
       stars and their planets down to the smallest atom and its parts -

                                      Page 3





       hydrogen - operates  on  only  three  basic  forces  -  electricity,
       magnetism and gravitation.   These  three  forces  may  be  entirely
       separate and different or they may be only different  phases  of the
       same force, a Universal force we have not yet distinguished as such.
       Regardless of this, we know the relationship between electricity and
       magnetism and we   know  this  relationship  is  brought  about  and
       maintained by the very simple COIL OF WIRE!

       It is quite possible, through the Biefeld-Brown Effect, we have come
       upon the relationship  between  electricity   and   gravitation,   a
       relationship being brought  about  and maintained through  the  very
       simple electrical condenser!

       If each of  these  three  forces  is  considered separately, we find
       little of practical  value in any  of  them!   It  is  only  through
       combinations of two, and perhaps more, that we begin to use them.

       Aside from the researches into the Biefeld-Brown Effect  carried  on
       by Mr. Brown  science has done practically nothing toward developing
       the relationship between electricity and gravitation.

       Most scientists today will admit a  weak  COUPLING EFFECT DOES EXIST
       BETWEEN GRAVITATION AND ELECTRICITY but any practical  use  of  this
       coupling effect they deny!

       Standing almost alone  in  this  belief Mr. Brown has maintained his
       position regarding the matter stubbornly, faithfully, and devotedly.

       If a simple, two-plate electrical  condenser (FIGURE 1) is suspended
       by a cord in such a way as to allow it complete freedom  to  to move
       in any direction,  except  downward of course, and this condenser is
       charged with the  proper  amount and  pressure  of  direct  electric
       current the instrument  will  swing  TOWARD  the  side  holding  the
       POSITIVE CHARGE.

       If this same  condenser  is  discharged,  the  positive and negative
       wires switched and   connected  oppositely,   when   recharged   the
       condenser will swing in the OPPOSITE DIRECTION.

       If the condenser is placed upon one side of a balanced  beam (FIGURE
       2) with enough weight opposite it to continue the balance and if the
       positive pole is  pointed  up,  when  the  condenser  is charged the
       weight on the opposite side of the  beam  will  fall  and the entire
       condenser WILL RISE!

       This shows that  some  of  the  "weight" of the condenser  has  been
       relieved.  If the  positive pole now is reversed, when the condenser
       is again charged the weight on the  opposite end of the beam WILL BE
       LIFTED!  This illustrates gravitic affect.

       This is the Biefeld-Brown Effect.  As far is now  known  it  is  the
       only method of   affecting  the  gravitational  field  electrically!
       However, apparently there are several  other  research  programs now
       under way attempting to establish an electro-gravitic relationship.

       One of the  mysteries  of  this  Effect  is that it  APPEARS  TO  BE
       AFFECTED BY TIME!  Time does not do away with the Effect completely,
       but it does appear to minimize it temporarily.  This was noted first
       by Brown during experiments located in a closed room.

                                      Page 4





       He watched his  discs  through  a  telescope  from outside the room.
       Brown observed that after a time  the  discs  did not swing quite so
       far as initially,  in  either  direction,  with  the  same  electric
       charge.  I understood  from  Mr. Shank that this point was discussed
       with Albert Einstein  but  what Mr.  Einstein  had  to  say  remains
       unknown to me.

       The phenomenon might  be  accounted for by subtle atomic  structural
       breakdowns in the  dielectric material, or in the plate material, or
       both.  After a  time,  following   a   complete   discharge,   these
       breakdowns mend themselves.

       The intensity with  which  the  Biefeld-Brown  Effect   may  act  is
       determined by five  factors.  Ultimate  intensity cannot possibly be
       obtained by a combined use of all  five  factors  -  each  in  their
       separate ultimates!  A  compromise must be made.   This  is  not  as
       grave a disadvantage as it might seem at first, for it will allow an
       almost endless arrangement of factors in any given disc or ship.

       The best combination  of  these  then may be chosen and applied to a
       wide variety of practical conditions  which  will  surely  arise  in
       everyday aeronautical or astronautical flight.

       1)  PROXIMITY OF PLATES

           The first  factor  regulating  the intensity of  the  Effect  is
           controlled by  the closeness at which the condenser's plates can
           be set.  If the charging pressure  -  or  voltage - is high then
           the plates will have to be farther apart than for lower voltages
           -using the same dielectric.  If it is necessary  to  charge  the
           condenser quickly  a  higher voltage is needed than if more time
           can be  taken.   Hence,  the closer  the  condenser  plates  the
           greated the  Effect gained - other circumstances  remaining  the
           same.

       2)  DIELECTRIC CONSTANT

           The second  factor  is  the  ability of the material chosen as a
           dielectric to store electrical  energy.  There are many kinds of
           dielectrics: glass,   mica,   rubber,  paper,   bakelite,   air,
           ceramics, and  many  of  the  plastics.   A  dielectric  is  any
           material which opposes the flow  of  an  electric current and at
           the same time is capable of storing the electrical  energy as an
           "elastic stress."

           The action  resembles  the squeezing of a soft rubber ball.  The
           muscles in  your  hand represent  the  electric  voltage.   They
           squeeze the  ball's sides together.  The sides  remain  squeezed
           until your  muscles  release their pressure, then the sides jump
           back into their original shape.

           A dielectric will absorb an electric  charge  until its capacity
           has been reached.  Then it will either hold that  charge as long
           as the  charging  force  is  present, or it will rupture and the
           pressure will leak away, or if  the accumulated pressure becomes
           greater than the charging pressure it will discharge itself back
           into the charging circuit!  This last can raise the devil!

           Some dielectrics are capable of absorbing a great quantity of

                                      Page 5





           electrical energy  if  that energy is applied slowly at moderate
           pressure, but they break down if called upon to act quickly.

           Other dielectrics, like lead-free  glass,  can  be  charged  and
           discharged thousands of times a second at high  pressures.   The
           measure of  a  dielectric's  ability  is  called  the "K" of the
           material.  The higher the K,  the  greater  is the Biefeld-Brown
           Effect.

       3)  INTENSITY

           A third factor in creating intensity of the Effect  is  the AREA
           of the   dielectric's  charging  plates.   The  discs  are  used
           edgewise, and the greater their  area,  the  greater  the Effect
           obtained.

       4)  VOLTAGE

           A fourth factor has to do with the VOLTAGE, or  pressure used to
           charge the  condenser's  plates.   The  higher  the voltage, the
           greater the Effect.

           Also, the higher the voltage  the  shorter  the time required to
           charge a given condenser size.  But the voltage  must  not be so
           high as   to   puncture   the   dielectric,   the  condenser  is
           permanently, or temporarily ruined  - depending upon its ability
           to "heal"  itself.   Solid  dielectrics cannot heal  themselves.
           Fluids heal themselves almost as soon as punctured.  (the reason
           for using OIL filled capacitors...Vangard)

       5)  MASS (SURFACE AREA)

           The fifth  and  last  factor  is the MASS ofthe dielectric.  The
           greater the mass, the larger the Effect.

       These points all are important.   They  make  it clear that by a not
       too complicated electrical arrangement which allows  the changing of
       many positive pole  positions at will an astronautical vehicle could
       be controlled.

       Since a circle  contains the greatest  number  of  square  units  of
       surface for a  given  dimension  (a torus has even  greater  surface
       area...Vangard), it seems   obvious   that  a  shallow,  disc-shaped
       vehicle could use this type of energy  field  to greatest advantage.
       It would be  charged  differently than the models because  it  could
       carry its own charging equipment on board.

       The input energy of some models tested in California quite some time
       ago (they do  not  represent  present  experimental attainments) was
       about 50 watts, or the requirements of a small light bulb.

       The weight of these units was about 1200 grams, or around 42 ounces,
       or near two and 6/10 pounds.  The efficiency of propulsion was 2%.

       Unless scientific findings  are   discounted,  we  must  assume  the
       voltage of atmospheric  electricity rises as the distance  from  the
       earth's surface increases.

       At low altitudes we sometimes record an increase of 100 volts for

                                      Page 6





       EVERY THREE FEET   IN  ELEVATION.   But  this  increase  RISES  WITH
       ALTITUDE. It is believed that in that  ionosphere a potential of 100
       volts may occur within only four inches!

       Even though a  discoid-shaped  vehicle  could  be  relatively  thin,
       compared to its  diameter,  still it would be many times four inches
       thick.  Hence, it would be subjected  to tremendous differentials of
       external electric pressure over its extreme dimensions.

       How will this affect the Biefeld-Brown Effect - or  any electrically
       propelled vehicle?  Some  say,  not  at  all.   Others  see  it as a
       sizable barrier!

       Anti-gravity devices apparently are  being  experimented with from a
       number of directions.   Once  any  one of them becomes  practical  a
       whole new horizon will unfold before mankind.

       At the present time (1958) some 19 patent applications, covering the
       Biefeld-Brown Effect and its various applied forms, are being worked
       on.  A new  laboratory  is  also being built.  Will Mr. Brown be the
       first Earthman to build and fly a FLYING SAUCER?

       --------------------------------------------------------------------
       Vangard notes..

            The Law of Equilibrium includes  Density.   All  things Rise or
            Fall to their own Density.  This density can consist  of energy
            in many forms, electric, magnetic, tachyon, etc.

            Note the  remark regarding the higher voltage potentials in the
            upper atmosphere.  Both the Brown disc and the Searle disc rely
            on very high voltage potentials  to provide lift.  The question
            is whether the electricity seeks its own upper atmosphere level
            or does  it  cause some kind of stress in some  other  type  of
            energy to  cause repulsion from the Earth surface or ATTRACTION
            TO A LAYER EQUIVALENT TO ITS OWN.

What really amazes me about all of this alleged "space brothers" stuff is that
we continue hearing the same thing, and have done so for the last forty years.
Why don't the "brothers" provide solutions instead of empty promises of
teleportation off of this rock?  It would be better to fix the problems here
than to go somewhere else and have them all over again.  Agree?  Or, better,
would it not be in their best interest to teach us a better way?  No.  I don't
think that they have much on the ball either.

I can offer some advice following a brief investigation of this group:  LET

Don Ecker has further information on them, if you would care to access him via
ParaNet's ASK UFO Magazine conference on the network, or via infopara.

The Roswell incident has been attributed to lightning, and others in the
area to radar. It's conceivable, though I don't know how probable, that
the alleged aliens don't have either of these things back home.

Nobody knows what caused the alleged Kecksburg PA crash, or the dubious one
in Ontario.  The other extremely dubious one in South Africa was a
shoot-down with some type of particle beam weapon.

Give me a break.  What do you expect them to say?

If they do have alien bodies or vehicles, the information
is surely so classified that nobody has the authority to
release it.

If they don't have alien bodies or vehicles, what is there
to announce?

Todd missed my point.  If the Chicago Tribune reported that the USAF
was keeping alien bodies/ships at Wright Pat, you'd hear a denial
within hours.  They apparently don't take the net as a valid method
of communication, despite the fact that its readership is huge...

  Sorry Mara, But the Andreasson Affair was a CE3 type case that ha@ppened ,
I believe, in the late 70's...Betty Andreasson reported being abducted by
three aliens, while preparing supper for her family at home.

  The case Richard reffers to is a CE2 type case that happened in the early
80's. 
   Betty Cash and two others reported seeing a UFO and about 20 Tandem rotor
Helicopters  hovering above a Highway in Dayton Texas.
  I recall that after having gotten very little help from the goverment, Ms.
Cash brought a lawsuit against the military to try and find out what type of
radiation she was exposed to.
 as far as I know... She might still be dragging it through the courts.

Mike,

 I have no doubts that these postings are read by various branches of
the military, as they wend their way through ARPANET and are printed
out. What "secrets" have I un-leashed upon the public that isn't already
widely speculated,talked about and known about on the vaious UFO echoes
of the BBS world? What texts have been published here that the military
doesn't already know about?

Actually, I have a great respect for the military..perhaps they have had
to sit upon a considerable amount of info, that if it all came out in
a great "revelation" could dramatically alter our "way of life" as
regards to religion,commerce,etc.

Methinks (IMHO) that in the beginning of the cover-up, that there was
possibly some noble motives..like the Govt looking at the panic that
Orson Welles created in his Mercury Players presentation of "War of
the Worlds"..so-called "respectable and common sense" people FREAKED
when they thought we were being "invaded" by Martians.

I think that was the motive _in the beginning_...however there is much
literature that has come out within the last 20 years to suggest that
perhaps the military has made "agreements" with the WRONG "aliens"..

Now, I really *don't* expect to see any individual members of the military
come out _up front_ here in a PUBLIC newsgroup and say something either
one way or another. The Govt has more covert methods of dis-information,
which they take advantage of under different "disguises"...

See if you can spot the "agents of dis-info" in this newsgroup..they are
the ones telling you in snide comments that there are NO such thing as
"flying saucers" or an "alien invasion"...the overwhelming evidence,
in my opinion speaks to the contrary.

Just as an aside..here's a little exercise for you...look to see how many
commercials are using UFO's in their spots...

"V" might have more truth in it than you know :-)

I seem to remember reading once about a family (in Texas?) who
saw a UFO land in their back yard.  When the aliens tried to
come towards the house, the owners shot at them, hitting some.
Apparently, the aliens were wearing some sort of protective
suit that seemed to make the bullets ricochet off.  The family
managed to keep the aliens at bay for over 3 hours.  When the
sheriff arrived later, he said he wasn't sure what had happened
but that since these were normal and sane people, and he knew
them well, there must have been something out there that they
shot at.  He found over 300 empty shells of various calibers
ranging from .22's up to 30-30's.  The sheriff said these people
were not the kind to try to attract attention to themselves
so he didn't think it was a hoax.  I'll try to find the article
again and if I find it, I'll post it here.

   Well after, ya know, 1000 people saw this one, 100 saw this one,
   non-proven-hoaxed UFO photos, Retired military confessions of
   gov't coverup, dozens and dozens of TOP SECRET memos etc, on and
   on and on. You could say well its a hoax, or alllll these people are
   wacko. Why demons.. well , as I believe, God created all there is and
   was. So we ask, did God create folks on other planets or what.
   When talked to these creatures they knew of 'religious things' and what
   the Bible is, etc , and they are up to no good 'helping us' get Peace
   blah blah blah while abducting, implanting things in people's heads,
   taking samples, skinning cows, draining ponds, lakes and resivoirs,
   eating our electricity on and on and on. They certainly arent angels.
   [mind has gone blank on other stuff, argh..] its just my conclusion
   that they are demons in 'human' form. I'll try to get the rest later.

    I read it out of a previous UFO report on here on one guy's speech.
    Who used to be in the military and said it was all planned from the
    inside becasue , supposadly, JFK was going to put an end to nuclear
    aircraft and, supposadly tell the public that aliens were real or
    something like that, so they had him killed, either from a gun in
    the back of the driver's seat or the 'man' in the bushes. It is said
    the gun that shot whats-his-name ARGGGHHH Oswald? Lee Harvey whatever
    was a blank and he was the 'scapegoat' you have probly heard that
    [from old secret service, FBI, etc] that JFKs body was not the
    one everyone saw.. getting off the plane etcc.. his was taken off the
    other side, and ya know his brain was taken out because [new stuff
    I have heard recently] he was shot with a bullet tainted with some
    poison fish toxin .. which killed him. Its obvious from the film he was

Just out of curiousity, are there any reports/stories of people ever

a) shooting (or attempting to shoot) a UFO? (ie, with a rifle, handgun, etc).
b) shooting (or attempting to shoot) an extraterrestrial?

If so, I'd be interested in hearing about such incidents (and any
reported consequences).

Thanks!

Why does Roswell have to have been an accident?  It could have been an
intentional crash to see how we'd react to such a thing.  After all,
you'd think whoever *owned* the ship would come looking for it and
survivors if they were really concerned.

Please note:  the US government didn't have an interest in the thing
until some time AFTER the crash, like four to six days.  If it was a
top-secret fighter plane, etc. like some people claim, they wouldn't let
the thing out of their sight for a minute.

What was their reaction to such bizarre news?

What was all this about?  I had been told earlier this year that Bennewitz
didn't want anything to do with UFOlogy anymore.  Sounds like he's been
keeping up on it and just not talking to anyone.

The constellation Reticulum doesn't neighbor the constellation Orion.
They're not *really* far away from each other, but they're not adjoining
either.  And Barnard's Star isn't Zeta Reticuli.  (I think in the versions
I've heard, one race of aliens is from Zeta Ret and the other is from
Barnard's Star.  I can't remember if both are greys or the Barnard's Star
race is something else.)

Quite a valid point.  Do you remember the incident, a few years ago, when an
F-117A "Stealth" fighter crashed outside of Nellis AFB in Nevada?  The fact
that a crash occured was reported promptly.  (They wouldn't of course, confirm
the type of aircraft) The Air Force secured the crash site as soon as they
found it.  There were armed guards to keep the curious out.

Had the Roswell crash been a secret US plane of the era, there would have been
similar activity.

I never thought about that.  If the aliens have no apparent emotion as some
people claim, maybe they wouldn't care about the death of the ship's crew.
(Some people even say they're cloned rather than bred, if I remember
rightly.)  But you'd think they'd want to keep the ship away from us.
(Unless they knew we were too primitive to understand any of it.)

I never heard the top-secret plane explanation applied to Roswell.  It's
usually a balloon-borne radar test target or a Japanese balloon bomb.

See the most recent National Geographic, the issue featuring a story about
Kuwait.  I believe I saw it in there.  Also, it was on CNN about a week ago.

Don't believe in something just because someone says it is so; use your head.
Ask for concrete proof.  Only then will the true story behind UFO's (if they
exist as beings from another planet) be revealed, just as the Burmuda Triangle
was shown to be a hoax.  Until then, these stories of "Greys", government
coverup, etc.  will remain pure speculation, relegated to the world of fantasy.

Don't be Duped!

Well, if my own experience is any indication, the reliability of network
connections decreases with any increase in distance between two points.
Our own network here in Hawai`i is down about six percent of the time,
and sometimes I have to get others to post for me.  Now we're only
about 5,000 miles away; how many _light years_ away are the Pleiadies?

By my figuring, their network connection with us (allowing a factor
five compensation to account for their "advanced" technology) will only
be out of commission 20,000% of the time (give or take a few thousand
percent).

I think you guys who are jumping on this person are missing the
point. This isn't "Our solar system in 1991"; this is more like
"Our solar system in 2100", or sometime like that.

In any event, I'm enjoying these. Especially the words of wisdom.

UFO books and articles dating back at least to the 1950's include
references to "the truth" coming out "sometime soon".  Sometimes this
comes from 'aliens', and sometimes from (often unnamed) "government
sources".  (These sources include alleged CIA contacts, and even
President Carter, among others.)

   As a side comment, folks who *don't* want things known will tell
'outsiders' that the truth will come out soon -- if the truth is
about to come out anyway, investigators will stop investigating,
giving cover operations time to plug leaks, you see.

Unfortunately for you, Mr. Allen does do a fair share of homework.  From what
I have seen, he has posted materials to this net without attaching any of his
personal feelings about them.  I recall that he states that they are for
information only.  It is up to YOU what you do with it, excluding the childish
flaming that has been going on here.  Spreading "misinformation" implies that
the person doing the spreading has knowledge of his/her activities, at least
to a certain degree.  This does not qualify Mr. Allen.

May I suggest that you practice what you espouse?  Here is a challenge to you.
It is not hard.  And, of course, with someone of your high intelligence, you
should be able to qualify your statement above.  Please cite references for
your remark about "the UFO stuff being posted is opinions (which have in most
cases been refuted already), then it falls in the religion category and is not
science."  I would love to see your argument that the material posted about
the investigation of the Roswell crash is mere opinion stated by the authors.
I would also like to see your argument for why you feel that the study of
aerial anomalies falls into a religious category instead of science.  In order
for you to do this, you will have to produce irrefutable evidence to me that
completely defies the physical evidence collected at landing sites, the
physical effects that have been measured, both environmentally and upon
witnesses and the many reports by scientists who have observed this
phenomenon.  This, I predict, will not be an easy task for even someone of
your stature.  Finally, please define your viewpoint on how the study of UFOs
falls into a religious category.

everyone's satisfaction.

Just as an aside, Don Ecker now possesses a remote controlled flying disk.  It
is powered by gasoline, I believe.  I will get more information from Don on
this and let you know.  Some guy in Redlands, CA is producing them.

Jim:

Last year I received the "3-STAR" report from Ai-Trad, and immediatly called
them up to get the "real deal". I spoke to the front guy, Kim Mikulas I think
(I do not have his card in front of me.)

I questioned them, and requested to speak to either the interviewer or the
General, but was told that until I was "checked out" they did not want to speak
to me. I told them fine, check me out and call me, but I never heard from them
again.

Regarding your posting about alleged gravity waves being observed in the
satellite photos over Kuwait, could you please expound on this a little more?
I would really appreciate it.

BTW, I think you are right on target re: Lazar.  There were just too many
strange things associated with that guy.  However, there were other things
that made us wonder about his veracity and to what extent he may have been
himself "duped."

                 FULL-ASPECT SURVEY

   This is a survey of all aspects (possible) of the personality
of mankind--namely physical, mental and spiritual.  It is something that
I wish to use for my psych class coming up.. That, and it is also for
my curiosity.  Questions with a star (*) are optional.  All others,
please answer.  Answer as truthfully as possible, please.

1.  Y/N  Do you think of yourself as a leader?

2.  Y/N  Are you satisfied with our government? (please name your govt)

3.  Y/N  Do you have a religion?  Or, do you believe that there is a
     spirit or soul in humankind (ie. each man & woman)?
3a.  Y/N  Do you believe in (a/some) God(s)?
3a.  If yes, please name religion/belief
3b*  Who was Jesus?

4.  Y/N  Do you consider yourself in reasonably good shape?
4a.  On a scale of 1 - 10... how do you rate your fitness?

5.  Name your top 10 favorite songs.  (only 2 if you'd like, but at
    least 2) If you don't listen to music, put -None-.

6.  Y/N  Do you believe that there are other intelligent beings out in
    space?

7*  Y/N  Have you heard of xanadu?
7a*  If YES, then what is/was it?

8.  Y/N  Assume you are in a company or firm.  Would you be upset if
    someone was appointed a position above you that you wanted, even
    though he/she was totally qualified?

9.  Y/N  Would you ever want to travel in space?
9a.  Y/N  Inhabit another planet?
9b.  If YES on both, then how would you want to see the leadership
     set up, or, what kind of government would you like to see?
9c.  Would you like to head this government?  (*) Why?

10.  How old are you?

11*  Y/N  Are you married?  Divorced?  Single?  Ect.....

12.  What type of job do you hold (if you hold one)?

13.  Y/N  Are you superstitious?  (uncanny that this question came up
     here, isn't it???)

14.  Y/N  Do you believe in ghosts?

15*  Y/N  Are you able to vote?
15a*  Y/N  Do you vote?  Any particular branch or locale of govt?

16.  If there were a real schnook in the government, what would you

the current crop circles, and encourage him further.

Thanks, Rob!

Also, lately there seems to be a disturbing trend in this news group.
There seems to be more and more rubbish posted here, and I'm afraid
that this will discourage the serious posters from using this group.

Can we cut down on the garbage, please? The best response to obviously
stupid news posts is to simply ignore them and hope that they will
go away.

Thanks for your time,

--Mark

Hi,

   Just a few comments:  to call you anti-religion is perhaps not
going too far.  However, it is perhaps ingenuous to say:

We have to look through the myth, and realize that the same
voice has been muffled all through our history!  If you are
only willing to open your eyes, you will see.  There is a new
breed in the young people today.  A select few have been able
to realize that we have to look at things truly objectively.
[etc]

... every generation grows up calling its predecessors (and in your
case, most of its peers) idiots.  Its just something young people do.
I did it, too.  I was cynical, and "not going to be fooled".  Then I
discovered that things are significantly more complex than I thought,
and that (some of) my predecessors were extremely smart -- smarter
than me, in fact.  So, I decided to study some more.  I've been doing
that ever since.  (I'm still cynical, in some ways, but I don't scream
at people during arguments any more.)

I beleive that the human mind is capable of anything, even
without tools and science, yet on the other hand I have a love
for science and creation.  I beleive science can explain
everything, if we make science fit the truth, not bend the
truth to fit science.

   Naturally.  Scientists do the latter, politicians do the former.
(And lets not even talk about political scientists! :-)

We have to be ready to evolve.  For a while now
humans have been devolving.  Our machines and medicine and
some of our technology have just made it more difficult to
realize our potential.

... I don't agree.  Neither, I'd say, would people who can use recent
inventions to do things they couldn't possibly do -- quadraplegics
and amputees, for a start.  Technology has caused massive political
changes within this country and many others -- consider how long the
Vietnam war would have gone on without TV, for one.  Technology has
helps society to evolve, and to do it significantly faster than in
years past.  (If you don't like the way its evolving, well, that's
a different story.)

Our religion has taught us to mourn death, so we develop
medicine to stop people from dying.  Belief has made us weak.

... um, quite the opposite.  Religions in general teach that death is
*not* permanent; that we "go to a better place"; that "everlasting
life" is ours; or even that we return to earth with another chance.
How anti-death can you get?  Religion is a balm against the grief of
loss.  The thought that I will *never* see someone I know again,
*never* get to talk with them again, *never* see them smile again is
incredibly depressing.  Religion teaches hope.  (BTW, I am not a
particularly religious person -- just ask my parents, who gave up
trying to get me to go to church when I was 13...)  Religions also
are a comfort to the oppressed and the dirt-poor that their lives
are not for nothing, that better things are ahead.

The antichrist, I suggest, is change.  Radical, permanent
change that religion is afraid of.

... no.  Religions are by nature conservative organizations, to be
sure.  But they do change -- if nothing else, they fragment, and
subsets of belief go their own way (otherwise, we'd all still be
Zoroastrians!)  Radical, permanent change is what the "power elite"
are afraid of -- the bankers, the politicians, etc. -- the people
who have a personal stake in the 'way things are'.  Religions tend
to weather change fairly well; though the older 'organized religions'
may slowly wither for a number of reasons.

... Oh, by the way, what IS this "new reality", anyway?  You seem to
spend all your time complaining that almost all of us (including
myself, I'd guess) are stupid; what is the real truth, then?

  For what it's worth:

  Whitley Strieber, author of the best selling Close Encounter book
"Communion", receives about 50 to 70 letters per day from people who
claim to have had UFO experiences. Whitley says that since April of this
year, the subject matter of those letters has shifted from stories about
encounters in the past, to stories about encounters in the present.

  Whitley himself believes that something is going to happen soon, and
he thinks that the correspondance validates his suspicion. He does not
define "soon" or the "something" that he expects to happen.

  The source of this information is a letter published by Mr. Strieber that
I happened to see.

   For what its worth.....now get back to work.

Rusty, your prior argument would carry more weight if you did not digress into
subjects with which you are not familiar.

In fact this device works exactly as advertised, and is normally a subject
of introductory texts on electromagnetics.  Check page 274 of "Field and
Wave Electromagnetics" by David K. Cheng.

It is called the Faraday disk generator.  The electrons in the disk will see
the Lorentz force q(E + vXB) (X is the cross operator; v is the velocity
vector).  As lines of magnetic flux are cut by the infinitesimally thin
conductors connecting the edge of the disk to its center, the electrons in the
conductors will be driven by this electromotive force, with the result being a
potential between the center and the edge.

This device is typically used in industrial cloth manufacturing where
precision tension control is needed to feed threads into weaving machines.
The spools are mounted on conductive plates and are spun next to a large
magnet.  The thread is fed at a constant velocity, so changing the distance to
the magnet yields precise control over the thread tension.

You provide so much false detail in your refutation of this device that I have
to wonder if you just made it all up as you went along.

On the other hand, you can hardly call yourself a skeptic if you heard all
this poppycock from someone else, and then parroted it here without even
bothering to check some technical references.

BTW - normally I wouldn't flame you for making a mistake like this.  But,
      as you yourself stated, "This is high school physics!"

You can reach me by email at swarren@convex.com

[ stuff edited]

  My feeling about this "visitation" phenomenon,
both past and present, is this:

  We must treat this like a courtroom battle. There are lawyers on
either side of the issue who make extremely persuasive arguments for
and against the "visitation" theory.

  You, decide the outcome yourself. The "truth" is irrelevant. The
"truth" may be completely unknowable. At any rate, nobody knows the truth.
The evidence presented to you as a juror is almost completely
subjective and circumstantial. The evidence is inconclusive.

  So, what is real? What is the "truth"?  Is he guilty or not? In the
courtroom, the minds of the twelve define reality. Each of us has made
up his/her own mind. That defines the reality of this situation.
Unfortunately, like the jury in a difficult court case, we may very well
have decided wrong. If we knew the "truth", there would be no courtrooms
and no discussion.

  C'est la vie.

  Well, try giving a convincing set of transitionary forms from the reptile
lung to the avian lung for starters.  And how about a convincing set of
forms from the reptile scales to the avian feather. 
  Actually, why don't you just give us all the necessary transitionary
forms from every "known ancestor" to every species today.  That would be
convincing enough for me.
  And whilst you're at it, throw in an explanation for why the percentage
difference between the DNA of a given reptile and *all* mammals is the same,
regardless of the fact that different mammals should evolve at different
rates. 
  Finally, give us the latest estimate on how probable it was for the first
replicating molecule to evolve in a single step.

I agree totally with this!
Most of the 'garbabe' in this group is comes from
JOHNF with his stuff about pyramids and solar system travels.
or rather, the replies and flames it provokes (including me!)

I really believe he's making fun and we're all falling for his
provocation.. 

So why don't we all let him post and just don't respond, that'll cut
down a lot of the 'garbage'.

Also if you want to flame me for this post why don't you send it e-mail
so that it doesn't fill up the  group.

(Everything is of course IMHO)

Mike

I was at the MUFON Conference, this video was very interesting. About
three minutes of the total (much longer) video were shown.

The film appeared to show a small whitish spherical object. As far as I
could see there were no propellors, but bear in mind that the film was
taken from at least a couple of hundred yards with a domestic camcorder.

One problem you would have with this is how accurate are the writers
of the books reporting what the witnesses actually state?

In her book 'Abduction' Jenny Randles mentions, I believe, several
times that witnesses stating that 'something' will happen in 1992. I
know of at least one case where the witness states that they have
never said anything special will happen in 1992. J.R. tends to be
one of the more level headed authors, so if she can make a mistake
what chance do you have if you (have to) rely on more sensationilist
authors?????

I recently heard a Radio One program in the UK that contained
an interview with a leading proponent of the popular "US Government has
aliens locked up and is experimenting with their spaceplanes" conspiracy
theory. However this particular individual sounded very reasonable, did
not make any outrageous claims, and further had some interesting facts
to disclose. In particular he mentioned several verifiable facts which
I would like some followup on:

Rockwell International and NASA were planning a *massive*
joint exhibition of space exploration this year (1991) but it was delayed
inexplicably until 1992. In the *official* prospectus for this exhibition,
one of the exhibits was clearly stated to be "an extraterrestrial space
craft". When asked about this by various individuals, all enquiries
were referred by NASA to the US DoD. An unnamed Pentagon spokesman speaking
off the record is meant to have indicated that they "had a number of such
vehicles to choose from..."
The Pentagon also held a press conference to deal with press
inquiries on this matter - and refused to answer any questions. In fact
reporters later said that the Pentagon had asked most of the questions,
and they all pertained to "what would be the public reaction if...".

The guy on the radio program referred extensively to two NASA
consultant engineers who claimed to have worked on alien spacecraft
studying propulsion systems for NASA - both had high level security
clearance in the States, were verifiably employed by NASA as senior
consultant engineers, and both were phoned in the States by the station
in a followup program (which I missed) the next day. The followup program
incidentally was only scheduled at the last minute due to record phone
calls from the public swamping Radio 1's 64 line switchboard...

He also claimed that a NSA official had told him off the record
that the NSA was in "electronic communication" with at least eight
extraterrestrial sources of intelligent communication...

He claimed that he possessed a recording of a telephone conversation
with an ex deputy director of the CIA (Casey's deputy as I recall), who
said that they (the CIA) had possession of quite a few alien artefacts,
including bodies, spacecraft and other miscellaneous bits and pieces.
He also verified on tape claims that several alien landings at US AFBs had
occured in the past, and in some cases were common knowledge amongst certain
groups of AFB personnel: "Hear what came in this morning, Joe?"...

Various farmers in a certain area of the US (I forget the state
that was mentioned) regularly discovered bloodless (drained) cattle in
various stages of dismemberment in the early morning. These animals had
had certain glands, body parts, or body fluids surgically removed with a
precision beyond the capabilities of all but the most advanced surgical
laboratories. This problem was so bad that in one place a farmer was in
danger of going bust due to loss of cattle. One explanation advanced was that
aliens were using these cattle as a convenient source of various rare
chemicals/tissues.

The technology in the latest black projects that have progressed
to flight hardware - Aurora, Strike, etc. - seems to be well beyond the
capabilities of current commercial (defense/aerospace) technology. In
particular ablative control surfaces and reliable flight control at speeds
in excess of Mach 4 are characteristics of such craft, sightings of which
are widespread in Nevada along with reliable evidence (supersonic boom
disruption?) of such speeds.

Any comments/hard info. on any of these assertions would be
much appreciated - please post as I am sure others are interested too.

Yes, Chris, I did get your last message. It must be that this article
and mail routing is taking longer than usual to wend it's way through
the NSA :-)

Try mailing me again..if it bounces, try a re-send..some people have
had to resend a few times (same here with me) ,but be persistent. Once
the mail _does_ get through, it tends to stay that way.

   Goodmorning everyone.  It might be best if I answer a few questains
that has been put forth before going further.   Someone ask what is a
space tape?  A space tape is an audio recording on a message from a
space person.  In the case of the ones  I was talking about
it was from beings that are on a higher vibrational frequency than us and
not is the physical form.
I must go but will leave you with this saying; May you live all the

  I wouldn't personally consider Mr. Strieber to be an authority. He is

Why don't you try *learning* a little? The answer is well known: almost
all DNA is idle, and does not contribute to the expressed genotype. The
measurement of difference is the measurement of the background rate of
mutation in the idle DNA, and has been well established by many
experiments to run at a constant rate. That's the experimental basis on
which genetic clocking depends.

Since nobody thinks this happened, what is your interest in knowing the
probability?

So this guy is actually a *science* student? Obviously Oz basic science
education could do with being a bit broader. All that I've written above
could have been discovered from reading the quality Sunday newspapers
for a year, there's nothing esoteric about it.

I still find it difficult to believe that beings capable of intersteller
multidimensional or whatever else , travel, would choose to deal directly
with the U.S.government. This does not compute.

It may depend on what you're computing.  I think of 2 possibilities in
response to the standard question of "If they're coming here, why haven't
they contacted us formally?"

1) Have you ever "contacted" the ants?  We see them, we may stare at
them or occasionally experiment with them.  But given the differences
between them and us in levels of complexity, there isn't much meaning
to the term "contact."  And even closer to our own level, there are
lots of reasons to suspect that "contact" between aliens and any of
our institutions would be pointless or nearly meaningless to them.

2) I have the impression that we do "contact" apes fairly regularly.
That is, researchers attempting to hang around with chimp or
gorrilla troupes (in or out of captivity) do take some trouble to
learn the body language and to establish relationships with the
leader, position in the pecking order, etc. -- at least some people
under some circumstances do this.  I know it's true:  I saw it on
TV!!  Anyways this is perhaps one analogue for possible alien
contact with a social structure that could be vastly inferior to
their own.

Oh my goodness. The surgical precision beyond the ken of ordinary technology
bit again.  This old nut rears it head so often, even after dismemberment,
that it is probably the Hydra of Lerna (as you remember, cutting the heads
of the Hydra of Lerna didn't work, even when done with surgical precision.
Old Hercules approached it differently. He cauterised the wounds after he
removed the heads - with surgical precision of course, not just your old
Hippocratic surgery, but pre-Hippocratic surgery, only known to the
cosmonautic semigods, since then a lost art especially as the surgical
instruments consisted of only one (1!) bronze sword, no doubt forged by
Merlin or the Lady of the Lake. Cauterizing was also done the semi-divine
way namely with torches and an assistant, in short by FLAMING!!).

I will humbly emulate Hercules (or his assistant). I can assure you, this
flame is patently divine, because the words flow from my fingers almost
before I think them up.

This cattle mutilation bit is thought up by silly woolly blockheads,
who couldn't distinguish a chain saw from a surgical knife, and who,
when they happen on a dead animal that has been gnawed at by small
predators (who like the soft parts, like the genitals, yes these
so called "certain glands" why mince words, their balls of course,-
when they happen on such things, these paranormal yokels can only
think up the most implausible explanation, UFO's and Satanic Rituals
(you know these guys that revel in sneaking up on dead carcasses in the
dead of the night and relish in biting off - with surgical precision of
course - their half rotten eyes, cunts and dicks and arses - (off the
carcasses of course), all in the sick imagination of UFO-freaks and
Fundamentalist devil-hunters and hillbilly cops) and what have you.
Yechch (sp?).

It really doesn't help to send police officers, pathologists,
veterinary surgeons and so on to investigate, because whatever they say
sinks in the morassess of the hordes of ignorant nitwits and
summertime journalism, to vanish out of sight forever and ever.

So, maybe this Hydra head has been cauterised. Next. Only one
myriad to go.

******************************************************************
Subject: A Strange Object/New Circles at the Punchbowl
******************************************************************

       While driving home from Twyford, Hants on Wednesday evening
 along the M3 with my wife we noticed this strange dark object
 "flying ?" above us . It was very much a oval/rectangle shape and
 seemed to be flying about 45 degrees forward of vertical . This
 object had a very bright light at the top and bottom of the view
 we could see and these were not flashes but pulsing . This object
 gradually gained speed and as it did so the pulsing lights got
 faster and faster . Eventually it sped up and was a good five miles
 in front of us but still parallel to the M3 and the pulsing light was
 still extremely bright . The light seemed to be pulsing and the two
 lights seemed to pulse and create a third in the middle of them.

   We were also aware of another object pacing it but about half a mile
 behind it. This could have been a helicopter as it had a flashing light
 but it also had a bright white light coming from underneath it like a
 spotlight . Eventually the bright pulsing red light really sped up and
 disappeared below the horizon. It was about 9:50 and getting quite dark
 but we could make out that the object, what ever it was, was very large.

     We live within about 10 miles from RAF Odiham , a Chinook helicopter
 base and at first thought it was a Chinook, but dismissed this as even
 one of these that low would be heard over the road noise. It was
 probably twice the size of a Chinook and had totally different lights
 underneath it and these were far too bright and were pulsing.
 All very strange ....

  The weird part of the story is that after this light had disappeared
 my wife joked that it was probably on its way home from creating a
 crop circle in the Punch Bowl .

 Well, curiosity took over and last evening we went down to Cheesefoot
 Head to see if anything had appeared and to our amazement there is
 a formation in the Punch Bowl. This formation a basically a 2 or 3
 ringed circle with a tail and is near the edge on the left . We saw
 it about 10 pm last evening and as it was nearly dark details of
 the formation were quite sketchy . It could be a hoax as it is near
 the edge for easy access and its tail or spur looked rough . I will
 probably go back down there over the weekend and check this out .
 If it is for real I wonder if it is tied up with the pulsing light ?
********************************************************************
       I re-visited the Punch Bowl on Friday night and the formation
 looks a genuine one. It is basically a "insectogram" head and
 antennae . The head is two rings with very large curving paths
 coming from it with smaller circles at the end .

   Also Thursday night a new formation appeared by the very first
 formation at Chilcomb . This is difficult to see from the road but
 looks similar to the original one but larger . Friday night it had
 been swamped with people and is now probably very trampled.
