# Skull of alien-human hybrid found? Forensic scientists have reconstructed
a child's face from an ancient Mexican skull which some researchers claim
could have been an alien-human hybrid. The StarChild's haunting features,
eerily like the huge-eyed aliens described after UFO abduction cases, are
online at http://www.AlienUFOart.com/Forensicfaces.htm The misshapen skull
is believed to belong to a girl of 5 or 6, whose bones were found with her
mother's in a mineshaft south of Chihuahua, Mexico, around 1925. Eeeerie:

: Have you mated with aliens lately? Did you reproduce, hybridize, spread?
Are your progeny taking over the planet? When will humanity become extinct?

@ IS THERE ANYBODY OUT THERE? The issue regarding life in the Universe, as
far as it relates to life on worlds other than our own and to the current
crisis on our own world, requires boiling down to its most basic elements,
and consideration of all the possibilities within those elements.

: Does life exist in the universe? How can you tell? Is it weird, tasteful,
tasty, intelligent, malign, omnivorous, beautiful, bureaucratic, boring?

@ UFOS AND THE NEW PHYSICS. UFOs are a controversial and compelling enigma.
We remain unsure of what these objects are, or whether they even exist. Con-
ventional wisdom is that most UFOs are likely erroneous observations, along
with a bit of mass hysteria and some outright charlatanism. Was there really
a UFO crash at Roswell in 1947? But what if we were to assume - purely as an
exercise - that UFOs are actually products of a starfaring civilization?

justify star travel to your board of directors, stockholders, accountants?

# Current Events and Prophesy. Updated 5/16/99. NORTH KOREA IS PREPARING FOR
WAR!! IRAQ IS PREPARING FOR A "SHOWDOWN WITH THE US SOON"!! US and UK are
ABSOLUTELY vulnerable to attack by China and Russia with no serious counter
attack capability. I strongly believe we will see full fledged outbreak of
war in these theaters in the next 6-8 weeks. This is based on prayer and
study. The unraveling of the current world order economically & politically
is nigh, and I mean this very soberly. http://www.clis.com/noe/events.html
: Is Armageddon at hand? Is your will made out, or would that be useless? Do
prayer and study prepare you for eternity? Why not give me all your money?

# Gun resort opens in US. (BBC) Undaunted by the recent spate of school
shootings, investors in the US state of Nevada are backing the world's first
resort for firearms enthusiasts. Cigarettes and whiskey are mandatory too:

: Do you go on vacation to shoot, to be shot at, to watch people shooting &
being shot at, to smell the smoke of gunfire, to hear its music, to savor?

*Cryptonomicon* Neal Stephenson's writing has been described as "Pynchon on
speed." *Cryptonomicon* is no exception. The exceedingly complex plot jumps
between World War Two and the very near future. It revolves around a highly
sophisticated encryption technique developed by an eccentric genius working
for Allied intelligence, and the involvement of his grandson in a scheme to
create an offshore "data haven" in Southeast Asia. You'll discover a great
many hints about connections and interconnections which lead in some *very*
interesting directions.

*Icefire*, by Judith and Garfield Reeves-Stevens. If this book were just a
techno-thriller in the Tom Clancy style, it would worth reading. But it is
somewhat more. On one level *Icefire* is the story of a Nuclear Emergency
Search Team (NEST) officer and a Greenpeace-type environmentalist as they
race to head off a global catastrophe. A mysterious conspiracy (whose iden-
tity becomes clear as the plot evolves) plants six nuclear devices on the
Ross Ice Shelf in Antarctica. When the bombs go off, the ice slams into the
ocean at 500 miles an hour, and a monster wave is born that will soon threa-
ten everything in the Pacific basin. Of particular interest are the segments
dealing with (are you ready for this?) HAARP and the Aurora, including a
fascinating and quite plausible account of what flying the Aurora would be
like. The book's authors obviously have some sort of inside information,
because their detail rings *very* true.

"Her near-perfect features failed to reflect accurately the sickening sensa-
tion comprised of equal portions of frustration and sheer horror that wafted
over her like clinging, fetid waves of opaque, stagnant water; lying supine
-arms and legs akimbo- on the rumpled, plum-hued satin sheets that suffused
the bleak, cold starlight, she grasped the sesquipedalian metal-and-plastic
intruder in both of her meticulously manicured hands, bemoaning her wretched
fate to Sappho, Diana, and anyone else who would listen - Evelyn had totally
forgotten the batteries." --Cedric R. Braun
