I hope everyone is well this fine evening. This should be a good show.

I was surprised to see SF...cool!

During the 80's it was. I was working near McClellan AFB in North Highlands when the huge cloud of black smoke blew over us from Mather, several miles away. We thought it was a loaded B-52 with nukes as Mather flight crews were always on standby ready to deliver nuclear holocaust to the Russians. Boy do I miss those days, living and working at ground zero.

WhenI was stationed at Plattsburgh, my barracks were about a mile from the flight line. Nothing equals seeing 9 alert FB111s taking off with full afterburners followed right behind with 12 KC-135s with minimal separation when they would have an alert launch. Cool as shit, especially at night.

I don't remember that one. We lost one of ours in 1975 taking off from Eilson in Alaska.

The accident occurred due to pilot error I believe, the plane didn't have enough altitude and the flight crew put it into a hard bank losing lift and instantly crashing to the ground. Thank god it didn't hit any of the B-52's that were sitting loaded with nukes ready to take off at any moment.

Thanks for the G3 warning.  I'd like to see an aurora again here in the Bronx, where I saw one in the fall of 2003, but its rainy tonight & probably overcast for hrs.
anywhere close to parkchester

I think she has been doing a decent job.

I can't tell if the ebullience is real or staged. Guess you would have to know her.

Dan was a fun guy to talk to.  Ask him a single question and he would take a good ten, fifteen minutes to answer it.  Oh, and he liked to smoke a good cigarette every now and then.

Thank you Rix Gins - I've never seen this one before!  I've studied everything I could get my hands on from his Long John Nebel interview (he probably did more than one but I've only heard one), to his strange and fascinating audio lectures on a range of subjects, to all of his books, and I still find them to be intellectually stimulating after twenty years.

You're also the only person I've ever encountered who spoke with him personally.  Apparently Ray Stanford knew him, but I haven't broached the subject with him yet.

What did you make of Daniel Fry?  He always struck me as a very earnest and scientifically minded man, who as you said liked to take his time responding to a question  :D   But that's true of a lot of technicians.  Unlike literally every other contactee of that era, Daniel Fry struck me as a sincere and credible individual, and he was the only one in the lot with a solid professional reputation and successful career in the early aerospace industry.  He seemed to be genuinely motivated by the desire to tell the story, but it's hard to read people without meeting them in person.  I'd love to hear your thoughts if you care to share them.

I was a civilian but lived at the south end of the runway at McClellan which essentially was a maintenance depot but saw all the military planes including the huge C5 Galaxy doing touch and goes daily including the super secret (then) Lockheed SR-71. They would hit their afterburners directly above our duplex, twas a most glorious sight!

Probably the latter.

Hey all. I know, I'm late.
That's ok. I showed up early so the Universe maintains its equilibrium
