So, try again. To MnDoc: Funny comment about you now aspiring to be the next Mulder--I approve and i am sure that Fran [over at NICAP} is quite pleased as well. To "Willy": when I see you tomorrow, you can try to use your "melon" to explain to Bill Murphy the extent of your data on this new discovery. The world awaits.The Professorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07811807639219365621noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2019724693487670016.post-56156427657329011512010-02-11T07:15:28.953-08:002010-02-11T07:15:28.953-08:00This comment has been removed by the author.The Professorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07811807639219365621noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2019724693487670016.post-15755424742079484342010-02-11T07:15:07.152-08:002010-02-11T07:15:07.152-08:00Super cool, professor.

I have a really good fall of ice from my 1966 files, where a big (compared to a 25 pound brick, larger in another article) block fell - THUNK!!! - about 20 feet from where a woman was raking leaves in broad daylight. There was a "shrill noise like a flock of geese going by," followed by a sound like a "shotgun blast." Local officials said it was ice formed on an airplane wing, etc, though FAA officials said conditions were not favorable for icing.<br /> Also, you might enjoy checking Devereaux's "Earth Lights Revelation" (pp. 117-118) for his account - reprinted from the original source - of two geologists doing survey work in the Marfa lights area. They encounter the lights, and wrote up a good report in 3rd person scientific style. "They both had the distinct impression that it knew exactly where they were and that it was just daring them to chase it." "....it had intelligence, definitely," one of them told a reporter. "It kind of looked like it was playing with us." They said it was about the size of a basketball.<br /> Which leaves us only with the mystery, as I think George Carlin noted, as to why meteorological objects are always compared to sports equipment, such as golf ball sized hail or volleyball-sized orbs of light, while tumors and other things human-body related are always compared to fruit - a cyst the size of an orange, or how the head is referred to as a melon.Peter Saucerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16349540965664679379noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2019724693487670016.post-41343332710922526872010-02-10T19:51:57.603-08:002010-02-10T19:51:57.603-08:00Regarding your last paragraph, AMEN.

There was a lot of good work done "back when" by folks who took their time, did the hard stuff and just hung in there. <br /><br />And, oh by the way, I just donated to NICAP and got a very cool baseball style cap with the NICAP letters on it. Seems a good way to honor the work. (Besides I think Mulder had one....)MnDochttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00436488742605068922noreply@blogger.com
