# ET Issue Splits B.C. Sasquatch Conference Researchers. VANCOUVER (Reuters)
For sasquatch fans mobbing Vancouver, the debate isn't over the reality of
the big apelike beast but over its relation to UFOs. "It's a huge divide,"
Stephen Harvey, organizer of the Int'l Sasquatch Symposium, said in desc-
ribing the dispute between the cryptozoology and paranormal wings of
sasquatch studies. http://www.canoe.ca/ReutersNews/LIFE-SASQUATCH.html
: Are Yetis ETs? Are you? Are you large, hairy, apelike? I wear US#18 shoes;
am I a Sasquatch? Am I an alien, like my dad? Does the Symposium want me??

# PR Ploy Gone Awry - Hilton Not Planning Space Hotel. LOS ANGELES (Reuters)
Forget about booking rooms at the Intergalactic Hilton for the time being.
The giant hotel chain plans to remain earth bound for a bit longer. Hilton
said it is not planning to build a luxury resort in outer space or on the
moon as some media groups have reported -- but that its Earth-based hotels
are taking reservations. Buzz that the hotel firm was planning an orbiting
space resort 500 miles above the earth complete with artificial gravity &
space walks for guests, was a public relations ploy run amok. Disinfor-
mation: http://news.excite.com/news/r/990924/17/leisure-space-hilton
: Are you bummed? Do you seek revenge? Will tour-terrorists wage a bombing
campaign against Hilton until they build space hotels? Will they capitulate?

# Canada's 'Avro' Flying Saucer - And German Disc Technology. It Came
From Outer Toronto... Avro Canada is best remembered for the ill-fated
Arrow, the supersonic jet fighter shelved by Ottawa in 1959. Now, newly-
released CIA documents shed new light on another of the company's dreams
-- a flying saucer. http://www.sightings.com/ufo4/canadadisc_u.htm
: Have you designed/built/tested/sold any flying saucers lately? Do you use
alien/Nazi/metaphysical technologies? Is there a market for flying saucers?
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
# The truth is in San Antonio for 300 UFO believers. They exchanged sighting
tales at the weekend National UFO Conference. Attendee Janet Broderick saw
her first flying saucer in 1995. "I didn't even blink and tears were
streaming down my face," she says. "All of a sudden, it just disappeared."

: Do UFOs make you cry? Did a UFO ever break your heart? Do they fuck & run?
Will they still respect you in the morning? Do they share your pain? How??

@ Comparison of a Teleological Model With a Quantum Collapse Model of Psi.
Compare "two previously described mathematical psi models... At an early
stage of psi research, one could hope to understand psi by a straightfor-
ward extension of physics." http://www.visitations.com/mindnet/MN203.HTM
: Do you have a good explanation for psi? Do you exploit psi? Do you use psi
to accumulate wealth & power, have good sex, control the masses, run things?
