# Flying Triangles on the Increase. UFO reports in the US were low with less
than 200 in April compared to 400 last November. However, Flying Triangle
reports have increased inferring these may not be of extraterrestrial ori-
gin. It is possible that UFOs are maintaining a low profile while our Sun
continues its heavy solar storm activity. http://www.caus.org/ft061500.htm
# UFO, Orb, Rod? From: Todd Lemire <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> -- I'd like to get
some feedback on a video capture from some Hi8 Video I took while filming
"rods". This 2 second video clip shows an astounding maneuver by some
type of "orb". Any feedback would be greatly appreciated as I didn't put
much effort into the study of "rods" until I started taping these myself.
Any ideas what this could be? http://members.home.net/tlemire/rods.html
: Have UFOs/orbs/rods/triangles/pentagons/vapors been hiding/flaunting/expo-
sing/killing themselves? Is there a relationship with solar activity? D'ya
increase/decrease your paranormal activities during solar maxima? Why not?

# First Interrogatories. The role of the Virginia National Guard (VNG) in
collecting/analyzing/disseminating intelligence reports and other data
about the incursion of the so-called "Flying Triangle" craft into the
near-space envelope of Virginia skies: http://www.caus.org/pn061600.htm
# Misinfo at Space.com - June 13th article, "Mars Face Breaks Under Questio-
ning" at http://www.space.com/opinionscolumns/opinions/ford_000613.html
was filled with factual errors and opinions disguised as fact. NASA falsi-
fication too. http://www.ufomind.com/ufo/updates/2000/jun/m15-010.shtml
# Lunar mission provokes more questions than answers. Watch the video
animation of the Lunar Prospector's crash, and wonder where all the
lunar water went: http://www.cosmiverse.com/paranormal061301.html
: Does your govt agency promulgate disinfo re: aliens/UFOs/paranormals/space
/me? Has your (dis)info been questioned? Should we believe anything you or
any other operative says? How can we tell if you're really an operative??

# PREVALENCE OF UFO SIGHTINGS, CONTACTS, AND ABDUCTIONS IN AN HMO PRACTICE
There have been recent medical gatherings and media publications in which
respected psychiatric professionals have supported the claims of people
who say they were abducted by UFO's. Some of these people have been found
to be suffering from a type of post-traumatic stress disorder. A recent
survey found a 2% potential UFO abduction rate in the general population.
To discover the prevalence of both UFO abductions and sightings, and to
establish the veracity and clinical relevance of these claims, I undertook
a survey of my own HMO practice members. http://www.caus.org/pn061500.htm
: Have you seriously studied UFOs/ETs? Have they seriously studied you? D'ya
tell the truth about what you've found? Do they? Does anyone? Is there any
truth? Where? Are the best truths embedded in fiction? Is all truth fictive?

# Ghostbuster - Spooked by spectral visits from Henry VIII's fifth wife,
Hampton Court Palace calls in Richard Wiseman. A posse of spooks haunts
its stately halls. Faced with such ghastly guests, who ya gonna call?
Richard Wiseman, that's who. The 33-year-old magician turned academic
has become Britain's leading ghostbuster, finding scientific explanations
for supernatural claims. http://www.alienzoo.com/news/p/200006150001.cfm
# "Sniffing detective" ages corpses. Here's a new twist on carbon-based
entity dating. Scientists at Oak Ridge National Labs in Tennessee have
discovered that "a corpse's characteristic chemical cocktail could reveal
the time of death." http://www.cosmiverse.com/paranormal061602.html
: Have you sniffed any corpses/ghosts/aliens/robots lately? Do you have any
rational explanations for your irrational perceptions? Does your dog smell
too? What's your favorite dead entity? How many dead wives are enough? Why?
