 Dear Mr. Clarke

 

 This  is in  reference  to your  Freedom  of Information  Act  request fo  18

 November 1983 requesting access to information regarding photographs taken by

 Paul Bennewitz in 1980 near Kirtland AFB.

 

 The only information we  have in our files regarding this  incident is a copy

 of a message, originator unknown, which  apparently was placed in circulation

 in at least three cities in the  U.S.  This message discusses analysis of UFO

 photographs, and, while it does not mention who the photographer was, it does

 mention the name  Bennewitz.  The purported originator, the  Air Force Office

 of Special Investigations, has reviewed the  message and confirmed that it is

 a hoax.  While the Air Force Intelligence Service is listed as a recipient of

 the message,  we hve  no record of  ever receiving it  from AFOSI.   The copy

 which we have in  our files was forwarded to us  by the organization Citizens

 Against UFO Secrecy.

 

 We are attaching a copy of the document as we received it.  We have, however,

 removed the bogus  security markings so as  not to alarm any  recipients.  We

 are also attaching other documents created by  this agency as a result of the

 bogus message.  These  documents have previously been released  to the public

 through the Freedom of Information Act.

 

 For  your  further information,  this  agency  collected information  on  UFO

 sightings  for  a  few  years.   However, our  interest  in  this  topic  was

 discontinued in  the mid-1970's and our  UFO records were transferred  to the

 General Services  Administration for inclusion  in Project Blue  Book.  These

 records are available for public inspection through the National Archives and

 Records Service, Modern  Military Branch, 8th and  Pennsylvania Avenue, N.W.,

 Washington DC 20408.

 

 Sincerely                                3 Atch

Evidence supporting quantum information processing in animals

              Evidence supporting quantum            information processing in animals                    James A. Donald                    1068 Fulton Av                    Sunnyvale, CA 94089-1505                    USA I show that quantum systems can rapidly solve some problems for which finite state machines require a non- polynomially large time. This class of problems is closely related to the class of problems that animals can solve rapidly and effortlessly, but are intractable for computers by all known algorithms. 1. Introduction      Animals, including very simple animals, can rapidly and effortlessly perceive objects, whereas computers take nonpolynomial time to do this by all known algorithms [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6]. Our persistent inability to emulate perception gives reason to doubt the current paradigm and to look for an alternative paradigm.      Penrose[7] and many others [8, 9, 10] argue from practical considerations, Godel's theorem, and

ARMIES OF CHAOS

                          ARMIES OF CHAOS -      Before anyone proposes more gun control, he or she should know  about a simple, deadly weapon 4 times as powerful as Dirty Harry's  legendary .44 Magnum -- and at least twice as concealable -- that  _can't_ controlled.        This simple, deadly weapon can be made by anyone -- even a  child -- with unpowered hand tools in an hour's time using $5 worth  of materials, most of which are available around the house anyway.   In traditional form it's reusable an unlimited number of times, and  modern plastics have rendered its disposable version electronically  undetectable.  You can clear a room with such a weapon (more of a  hand-held directional grenade than a gun -- sort of a recycleable  Claymore mine) and it's just one of hundreds of similar time-proven  designs.        Complete instructions for building this simple, deadly weapon  could be given in half the space I'm using here and not require a  single illustrat
