What??? No!!!
Just trying to info on an old UFO Special on NBC (or maybe it was ABC). Art was in a segment and I thought he might remember. He doesn't. As there are more important things going on here, I'll take "no" for the answer to my question and move on.

Wait . . . you're pulling my ~~let~~ leg, aren't you?

Oops.

Not sure what your "let" is but sure seems like it is being pulled.

Typo, sorry. "Leg."

Kind of ironic if Peter Jennings was an alien playing with our heads.

Art remember that the journey is sometimes as much fun as the destination. Though you're stressed about this now someday you'll look back at this time with fondness...

Of course we aren't usually traveling with a bunch of lawyers trying to derail the train..

Those huge triangle-UFOs are most likely government "black project" blimps with a silent engine.
They only appear at night, i believe, because then they're not so easy to recognize as "just triangular blimps",
and you can't see where they take off and land.

Holy catz, that's beautiful. I can't believe a high school kid did this for a school project! Amazing and very moving, also appropriate for our roller coaster ride.

I agree.

Art, did you watch SG1 when it was on? Never heard you mention the show before on any of your shows. Of course I didn't hear all of your shows

. SG1 is probably my all time favorite TV series.

If the show does go through, I'd be very interested to see what kind of equipment makes a studio and how it's different from what SiriusXM built. Pictures! We need pictures

Here's hoping for the best.

That's all HAM gear I believe. The other gear is off screen there. The video posted earlier did show footage from the home studio, you get to see the board, computer and whatnot. And the coffee thermos with straw.

That pic triggered a memory of one of Art's shows where he was discussing various transmission protocols and antenna types (or some such radio-gearhead type stuff) and for some reason I just found it so fun and fascinating.

How did Art get this gift where he can make you need to know about stuff you weren't even aware of before and probably have no practical use for and yet dammit I need to know about it! Haha I'm sure I'm not alone here on experiencing this strange effect.

Heard this song today for the first time! Made me think of Art! What a great song. And since this ISN'T a bumper music suggestion, I think its fair game here. Enjoy!

Haha yeah. Antennae don't seem very interesting but then Art would tell you a story about how he snuck it through the living room to the back yard and you would share his excitement.

Ah yes I forgot about the Peter Jennings special, I have not seen that in a long time, it was sadly his last.

For those of you who might want to know more about that broadcast, I have here for you a treat: it's the entire issue we ran with Jennings on the cover and a bunch of great UFO legends rebutting and generally raving in anger about the show and its failings, even as we celebrated the attention. I loved doing the cover and the internal layout, which highlighted his beautiful face.

Hope you enjoy:
