I tend to sympathize with Terry's assessment, and give Jed's an honorable mention. As odd as this might sound, at present I take comfort from the realization that I'm not smart enough to determine whether the ORBO prototype is an intentional scam, an invention of the deluded, or a closeted energizer bunny. I'm reminded of a fine book I purchased decades ago, titled "In Advance of the Landing, Folk Concepts of Outer Space" http://www.amazon.com/Advance-Landing-Concepts-Outer-Space/dp/0789207087/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1263502029&sr=1-1-spell http://tinyurl.com/y8tpmmb There are some priceless photos in this book. One photo showed a flying saucer being constructed in the basement of an individual's home. The individual had a vision one evening. His vision was of Jesus who instructed him to build a flying saucer. Jesus had also commanded him to pilot the flying saucer around the world in order to distribute copies of the bible.The flying saucer was coming along nicely. It took up most of the basement floor. One wonders if the builder had figured out how he was going to get it up the stairs and out the door. Film at eleven. Regards Steven Vincent Johnson www.OrionWorks.com www.zazzle.com/orionworks
