Space Weather News for Dec. 19, 2000http://www.spaceweather.com
METEORS & AURORA: Sky watchers who venture outside to view the Ursid
meteor shower Thursday night or Friday morning might also spot aurora
borealis. A coronal mass ejection that left the Sun on Monday is likely
to buffet Earth's magnetosphere later this week. Forecasters estimate a
20% chance of severe geomagnetic activity when the CME arrives.
NEAR-EARTH ASTEROIDS: A newly-discovered near-Earth asteroid, 2000 YA,
will pass just two lunar distances from Earth on Dec. 22nd. There's no
danger of a collision, say scientists, but the small space rock will be
near enough to see through large amateur telescopes or through small
telescopes equipped with CCD cameras.

From: "Allen Thomson"
Subject: P-59, gorilla.
Just found this on AvWeek's www.aviationnow.com page:
Bell P-59 Secret Jet Program
During the Bell P-59 jet aircraft test program
[early-mid 1940s, http://www.afa.org/magazine/gallery/p-59.html],
a formation of P-38 Lightnings on a training mission over the Mojave
Desert was
overtaken by an Airacomet. The P-38 pilots were puzzled when they saw the
plane
with no propeller. Stranger still, the Bell P-59 Airacomet pilot
was wearing a
gorilla mask and derby hat and had a cigar in his mouth. After a few
seconds, the
jet pilot tipped his hat politely and pulled away from the formation.
This was the
first time that Air Force personnel, except for a select few at the test
base, had
ever seen a jet-propelled airplane. The sight of the gorilla wearing a
derby and
smoking a cigar helped keep the jet a secret.
This has "apocryphal" written all over it, but does anyone here happen to
know
where the story comes from? Even if, by wild chance, it's true?
