-Caveat Lector- ------- Forwarded message follows ------- Date sent: Mon, 19 Mar 2001 06:52:31 -0800 From: Harv Howard <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: Re: IMAGES: Massive Spy-Satellite Program to Cost Billions To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Send reply to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Folks-- I have been interested in the black triangles for many years. It started with my personal investigation of a remarkable account back in 1985 here in Texas. In 1989, in Laramie, Wyoming, I and about 20 other people had a sighting that lasted about 20 minutes. On the Cosmic Conspiracies website at: http://www.ufos-aliens.co.uk I have two, admittedly highly speculative, articles regarding these fabulous craft. Over the years, I've come to regard about all rocket technologies as old-fashioned and dangerous, surviving and existing as cover for the real work of back-engineering UFO technology and to keep the all- precious economy juggernaut rolling along. The space shuttle, of course, being the prime example of these "make-work" activities. (Only one hundred flights in 20 years is outrageous.) The Osprey aircraft probably is another multibillion- dollar boondoggle/diversion as would be the recently canceled X-33 space plane, etc.) As a result, I've been long interested in exactly how the fleets of operational UFO-derived craft would be funded. Building a few prototypes is one thing, but to start putting together operational fleets for active duty is quite another. I've been waiting for a contrived program to be feed to the public which would provide such funding while offering an explanation to the public for the expense. A key component for such a program would be to place it against a national defense backdrop such that few would want to attack it in terms of expense or purpose. This news article posted by Steve gives us clues about how this charade is going to be pulled. I have extracted a couple of pertinent sections, but if you glossed over the entire article, go back and carefully read between the lines.
