@bo so is the UFO craze in movies etc. in the early 60's an offshoot of the nuclear monster thing?

@Bobby1 @bo Hi! I think most people are in denial simply thru a sense of total powerlessness

Did you see the shift from pink to blue?

@Nancy there are two takes on the UFO thing. One is that it is related to fears of invasion by the Soviets, so aliens are taking over, they may even be here already hiding as your friend! The other is that it is a way to describe spiritual agency in an age in which "god is dead." this was the take of people like Carl Jung.

@elainekirk gosh that's awful & there's nothing anyone can say that will relieve the stress sorry Val I messed that up I was saying the Japanese seem to have increasing awareness this morning someone tweeted asking basically 'how long till we die is it years? how many?' I couldnt bring myself to answer not that I know the answer

@UKVal hi there. I'm sure that is very much true. Beyond being and expressing outrage, what can we do? Might as well turn the channel and open another cold one.

mmm. looks to me like the sun rises further north so unlikely to be camera flare yesterday. However there is sun on the water which adds an additional variable

@bo don't we all pick the things we despair about & those we avoid? I know I do

@UKVal Lord knows I do too.

@bo interesting! There was an interview on NPR last week with an author that wrote a book about Area 51, roswell and all the things surrounding those two places, rumors etc. One bit she mentions at the end of the interview was an admission from one of the last employees who were involved with roswell and area 51. This employee claims the "aliens" found were actually Russians who were younger and genetically of small stature who through either genetic or cosmetic surgery were made to look like freakish aliens. This person's claim was that the russians took notice of the panic War of the Worlds - the radio broadcast, caused and thought they could use that to create chaos in the US.
@Reed if you come across extra large versions of the two inside shots at #1 (not the gamma camera ones) please let me know. I want to do some photo inspection on both but need a bigger image.
