Hi All,
The time is 12:30 - 2:00 PM EST/EDT or 1730 - 1900 UTC.
The frequency is 14.293 MHZ USB +/- for key clicks, mike splatter and
adjacent splatter chatter.
Please take a break from the weekend chores and join us for some fun and
facts.
Here is a clever piece that some of you might enjoy. No, yours truly did not
write it! In fact, the author is not known.
Did you ever wonder why so many of the probes the Russians sent to Mars
crashed or otherwise failed to work? Something over eighteen of them! Then
why have at least three of ours crashed or were DOA? Maybe the Martians do
not want us visiting! If they can see the mess that we have made of this
planet, who could blame them! (LOL!)
Martian Air Force Denies UFO Crash
Author Unknown
Leaked By The Washin' A Tongue Post
Gusev Crater (MPI) - A spokesthing for Mars Air
Force denounced as false rumors that an alien space craft
crashed in the desert, outside of Ares Vallis on Saturday.
Appearing at a press conference today, General Rgrmrmy The
Lesser stated that "the object was, in fact, a harmless
high-altitude weather balloon, not an alien spacecraft".
The story broke late Saturday night when a Major
stationed at nearby Ares Vallis Air Force Base contacted the
Gusev Crater Daily Record with a story about a strange,
balloon-shaped object which allegedly came down in the nearby
desert, "bouncing" several times before coming to a stop,
and "deflating in a sudden explosion of alien gases." Minutes
later, General Rgrmrmy The Lesser contacted the Daily Record
telepathically to contradict the earlier report.
General Rgrmrmy The Lesser stated that hysterical
stories of a detachable vehicle roaming across the Martian
desert were blatant fiction, provoked by incidences involving
swamp gas. But the general public has been slow to accept the
Air Force's explanation of recent events, preferring
to speculate on the "other-worldly" nature of the crash
debris. Conspiracy theorists have condemned Rgrmrmy's
statements as evidence of "an obvious government cover-up,"
pointing out that Mars has no swamps. They point to the
release of secret government memos detailing attempts to
discredit reports of the landings by alien space craft.
The memos discuss strategies to avoid troubles similar to
those caused by the War of the Worlds radio program of years
ago. The program, which featured a sensational story of
gigantic Oxygen breathing two-eyed invaders from Earth,
sparked planet wide panic.
Local residents like Driv Rhodo, who lives in the
area of the alleged landings, are even more skeptical. "I
seen it with my own 5 eyes" claimed Rhodo last week. "I've
lived here over 300 years, most of my adult life-form. Them
things used to be few and far between but lately they come in
every few years or so. The government wants to bury the truth
but I can tell you what's real. The Earthlings are going to
invade and the government is spending our hard earned tax
dollars on press releases and denials instead of preparing
for the battle to come." A spokesthing denied any government
involvement in the disappearance of Rhodo, who has not been
seen since shortly after the interview, claiming "Any
sentient being knows that a planet with the concentrations of
water and oxygen found on Earth is a deadly and inhospitable
environment for the formation of life, much less intelligent
life.
The fear and consternation caused by the unfounded and
wild speculations of citizens like Rhodo are a traitorous
disservice to the citizens of Mars."
