PAIR SEES RARE FAIR MARE'S HAIR IN AIR!

This week, as Zach and I arrived in the parking lot at the Golden Phoenix Chinese buffet in lovely Niskayuna, New York, I spied in the sky above a curious shimmering rainbow-like cloud or contrail. I took a number of stills. While the photos don't really due justice to the cloud phenomenon observed, I post them here for your viewing pleasure. The quiet Tim W2QAC referred to this cloud type as a "Mare's Tail".

Keep Your Eyes To The Skies! SETI, Don Ecker and a RAT!

This week! On This Week! Keep your eyes to the skies! And keep your ears to the speakers! The second, and apparently last but not least, long lost Don Ecker This Week in UFOs tape has been skillfully cleaned up, repackaged and spiced and spliced throughout with classic effects originally heard on such television and motion picture programs such as The Colossal Man, The Jetsons, The Twilight Zone, Star Trek, Fantastic Voyage and SeaLab 2020.

Whereas Program number one addressed the top secret government facility referred to as AREA 51, this edition focuses on SETI, the Search for Extra Terrestrial Intelligence plus some historical retrospective on alien transmissions allegedly intercepted by such radio pioneers and luminaries as Tesla and Marconi on their Dawn of Man receivers. Here's hoping that George W2XBS can dredge and excavate additional recordings produced by Don Ecker from his unblievably equipped but also unbelievably packed production studio!

The KLEE Case! Truth? Or...Hoax?

This week's edition of the Random Access Thought was produced back in March of this year and features Cigman and Marilyn Krasnov who get together with Mother Radio for the spooky tale of KLEE, a Houston,Texas television station received in Great Britain three years after the original transmission was made. This is the stuff of UFOs and flying saucers! In fact, the incident was documented in the classic Frank Edwards best seller "Flying Saucers - Serious Business", a book I read and re-read a thousand times when I was but a little pisher!
