Dear Pat,
Enclosed you will find the pictures I told you about. Here is a sort of detail: the object was shot at Grayrocks Reservoir northeast of Wheatland, WY - look at your WY map. Wheatland is in Platte County 70 miles north of Cheyenne WY. Grayrocks is 15 or 25 miles south of Guersey. There is a military National Guard camp at Guersey.

Crystal creates table-top fusion
Mark Peplow
It won’t solve our energy crisis, but could help treat cancer.
At first, it sounds like the biggest science story of the century: scientists have invented a desktop fusion machine.
Ooops! One can’t fault security officials for making the best decisions they can with the information they have available. But if our sensor equipment is so bad that it can’t distinguish an airplane from water vapor, we need to go back to the old drawing board.

Curiosamente Fort Belvoir fue el escenario de otro famos caso ovni en el que estuvo involucrada una nube de vórtice. Ver
Pero lo que asusta más es pensar lo que pudiera ocurrir con un tipo como Bush, en caso de que sus militares no tengan tiempo o no sepan identificar nubes (u otros fenómenos atmosféricos).
MORE GOOGLESAT FUN
Defense Tech reader DS got himself a shout-out in Slate last week, after finding an airstrip out by Nevada’s infamous Area 51 in Google’s database of satellite pictures. So reader McZ decided to raise the stakes, and sent in to Defense Tech HQ a whole heap of “airfields and strange structures” he discovered in the Googlesat archives.

False alarm sends President Bush to underground shelter
WASHINGTON — Fears that an unidentified aircraft had entered restricted space near the White House prompted security officials to move President Bush from the Oval Office to an underground shelter Wednesday.UFO Sends Bush to Basement
For a few minutes earlier today, President Bush retreated to an underground shelter and tourists were evacuated from the White House’s East Wing. Says press secretary Scott McClellan: “There was an indication that an aircraft has entered the no-fly zone. There’s an investigation to determine what it really was.” Air America promotional balloon maybe? — GREG BEATO
The Scientific Review of Alternative Medicine
This is the only peer-reviewed journal devoted exclusively to objectively analyzing the claims of “alternative medicine.” Its purpose is to apply the best tools of science and reason to determine whether hypotheses are valid and treatments are effective. It will reject no claim because it fits, or fails to fit, any paradigm. Rather, it will seek justified answers to two questions: “Is the claim true?” and “Does the treatment work?”. The journal’s publication has been endorsed by research fellows of the Commission for Scientific Medicine and Mental Health, a panel that includes prominent physicians, scientists, psychologists, and Nobel prize winners.

Penn & Teller return to barbecue more sacred cows
Kevin McDonough
Cable’s crankiest contrarians return with the third season of “Penn & Teller: Bull!” (9 p.m., Showtime). In their show, with a title unprintable in family newspapers, the witty illusionists take an intellectual blowtorch to popular wisdom, political correctness, fads and trends. In the past they have presented caustic cases against accepted wisdom on secondhand smoke, bottled water and TV mediums. At their best, they make you think. At the very least, they make you laugh. And at their weakest, they are a thousand times more entertaining and provocative than smug network libertarian John Stossel.
