Alien Lore No. 210 - The crash artifacts from Roswell have been tested, and appear to be extraterrestrial

By Jack Brummet
Unexplained Phenomena and Paranormal Editor


According to the Open Minds website, tests have now confirmed that the crash debris from Roswell in 1947 have been tested and are confirmed to not have originated on this earth.

"A teacher at the New Mexico Military Institute in Roswell may have discovered the first scientific evidence of manufactured debris made on another planet. Furthermore, this debris was found near the location where pieces from an alleged flying saucer were discovered outside of Roswell in 1947."

Kimbler swept the crash site, focusing on areas where satellite images indicated possible debris.  He finally uncovered numerous fragments of metallic slag and other peculiar debris.  He had the debris analyzed in a number of tests, including magnesium isotope fractionation tests,

 Magnesium isotope fractionation chart modified from the graph used by Dr. Peter Sturrock in his analysis of the Ubatuba UFO fragment. Magnesium bearing compounds, metals, and minerals should all plot on or very close to the line. A chondite is a type of meteorite and since it does not originate from Earth does not plot on the line. The Roswell AH-1 alloy plots way of the line. The AH-1 plot is an anomaly that is either an analytical error or the material is not from Earth. More testing is needed to verify the data to see if it is an error or its from another world. (image credit: Frank Kimbler)

Tests have confirmed the materials did not originate on earth.  Kimbler is being careful before making any definitive claims, but he is “hopeful.” He says certified labs don’t normally make mistakes, and that these people who did the work are some of the best in the business.  However, he is currently having the samples retested by two other laboratories.

Separated at birth: Rick Danko of The Band and Sheriff Bullock (Timothy Olyphant) of Deadwood

In this early shot of The Band, the great Rick Danko looks amazingly like Sheriff Bullock in Deadwood (Timothy Olyphant).

Patrick Francis Brooks's tattoo: he was easy to pick out in the police lineup


By Mona Goldwater
American Jurisprudence Editor




Patrick Francis Brooks, in the cooler at the Shasta County Jail, is being held without bond on charges of burglary, parole violations, receiving stolen property, and forgery.  Brooks was arrested by the Redding, California heat July 11 after he tried to cash a bogus check from Cottonwood Bible Baptist Church.


Patrick Brooks
 
The owner of the check-cashing store told police the tattoo made him a little suspicious; the fact that Brooks blacked out the church's phone number on the check nailed it.  The check-cashing guy called the minister of the church and found out he did not write the check.  Later police found the church had been burgled for $200 and some checkbooks.

From the archives: The Bellingham Photos, Part 2

By Jack Brummet
Chief Archivist, ATIT


I recently posted many of these pictures on Facebook and Picasa, and am just getting around to putting them on ATIT. These are all from slides that had been sitting in a shoebox until I broke them out and scanned them recently. The photos are almost all from 1974-1977.

Click all photos to enlarge (then right click to download if you want them)

By Jack Brummet
Aerospace Editor



NASA reported today that today’s astronaut wakeup song was ‘Man on the Moon,” by R.E.M.  The transmission to the shuttle also includes a message from Michael Stipe:

“Good morning, Atlantis. This is Michael Stipe from R.E.M. We wish you much success on your mission and thank all the women and men at NASA who have worked on the shuttle for three decades. From Earth, a very good morning to you.”
