Not too sure though, because it keeps disappearing behind the clouds. I'm sure if I think about it a while, I might remember it from some time in the dim distant past, when it was warmer. I think it begins with s..... er yes. I think it was an s. |

25 Jun 07 - 12:18 PM (#2086531) Subject: RE: BS: UFO over the Channel From: JohnInKansas If it's the same UFO occasionally reported in the Seattle region while I was there, this is an extremely dangerous object. The rare few who saw it reported that it was capable of producing blinding pain, occasionally with permanent damage to the eyes, for those who attempted to observe its motions. It's effects have been likened to an "alien death ray" that produces reddened and burned skin with prominent blisters and peeling of the epidermal layers of the victimes. Long-term effects have been suggested, and are supported by some studies. This is quite obviously a hostile and dangerous extraterrestial visitor that should be avoided until proper authorities can work out a way to remove it and prevent its return. An experimental program based on the injection of shielding gases into the atmosphere is well into performance trial and evaluation, but ultimate success of this method remains somewhat ambiguous. BEWARE! John |

Moss grows on everything there, moving or not. Seven years after I left the area, the rubber moldings around the windws on my truck were still green, and that's in Kansas where it's comparatively dry. (WD-40 eventually retarded new growth, should you need a remedy.) John |

At one place where I worked we did lots of business with "visitors" from many different parts of the country. A discussion ensued about the different "tans" exhibited by those from various locales. It was agreed that a typical Florida tan had an "orange cast" to it that was not apparent in the "brown" tans from the west coast/southwest. We decided it was rust stain. Those of us in Milwaukee, where the plant was located, mostly just "faded." John |

09 Dec 08 - 04:46 PM (#2511083) Subject: RE: BS: UFO over the Channel From: JohnInKansas This thread apparently went dormant a year ago, and is the shortest recent thread on "weird phenomena" so it's a good place to post an actual, credible, scientifically almost authenticated report on the search for extraterrestrial life *** *** (?). Sweet find in search for alien life Sugar found in a swirl of gas and dust around a collection of stars By Jeanna Bryner Space.com updated 1:50 p.m. CT, Tues., Dec. 9, 2008 A sugar molecule that's linked to the origin of life has been detected in a region of our galaxy where habitable planets could exist. The sweet find is good news in the search for alien life, the researchers say. Called glycolaldehyde, the sugar molecule is considered a life ingredient because it can react with a substance called propenal to form ribose, a central constituent of ribonucleic acid (RNA), which is similar to DNA and considered one of the central molecules in the origin of life. An international team of scientists used the IRAM radio telescope in France to detect glycolaldehyde in a massive star-forming region of space, some 26,000 light-years from Earth. (One light-year is the distance light will travel in a year, or about 6 trillion miles, or 10 trillion km.) They looked for the emission of certain wavelengths within the radio part of the electromagnetic spectrum. Molecules each emit a distinctive band of radio wavelengths, which can be used as a fingerprint for the molecules. "This is an important discovery as it is the first time glycolaldehyde, a basic sugar, has been detected towards a star-forming region where planets that could potentially harbor life may exist," said researcher Serena Viti of the University College London. Previously, the organic sugar had been detected toward the center of our galaxy, where conditions are extreme and not conducive to planet-forming compared with the rest of the galaxy. The new discovery, which will be detailed in a forthcoming issue of Astrophysical Journal Letters, was in an area distant from the galactic center. In addition, the sugar was found in a swirl of gas and dust around a collection of stars. "Possibly, this material is actually rotating around the stars, which may imply that it's a disk and that's where planets may form," Viti told SPACE.com. She added, "Also the fact that it's just a normal star-forming region suggests that the production of this molecule could be common throughout the galaxy." The detection of one life ingredient also improves the chances that the molecule exists alongside other molecules essential to life and in regions where Earth-like planets may exist, she said. "The fact that a basic sugar so directly linked to RNA is common makes you think the basic ingredients for life are out there," Viti said. "They're not just on Earth." © 2007 Space.com.
