(In this way the hypothesis can generate constructive scientific discussion.) The original poster may only suggest an extraterrestrial source AFTER the sighting has drawn comments from other posters. If this rule seems overly technical, remember that the "U-word" has been a problem for quite some time and shows no sign of going away, partly because as multiple contributors have pointed out - black technologies are not publicly disclosed and are therefore unidentified. ------------------------------ From: larry@ichips.intel.com Date: Tue, 13 Jun 1995 19:23:28 -0700 Subject: Re: UFOs & Skunkworks ... I would hate to lose ... Thanks John, David, and others. Don't worry, I'm not going anywhere. I'm not defending that trashy post either, that I originally didn't get, and that I have now seen.
