1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:07,720
I am Secretary of the Southern Idaho Astronomical Association and we have a formidable group

2
00:00:07,720 --> 00:00:14,080
here, you know, dozen telescopes here, better this, ranging from 4 to 8 inches.

3
00:00:14,080 --> 00:00:19,000
And I heard about your particular group and so on and so forth and if possible we'd like

4
00:00:19,000 --> 00:00:22,000
to help or assist in any way that we can.

5
00:00:22,000 --> 00:00:27,840
Now, if you have any sightings that perhaps we could, you know, investigate or check out

6
00:00:27,840 --> 00:00:29,560
or whatever we'd be happy to do so.

7
00:00:29,560 --> 00:00:35,360
We have a network and, you know, we can phone everybody up and get some telescopes trained

8
00:00:35,360 --> 00:00:36,520
on it and so on and so forth.

9
00:00:36,520 --> 00:00:41,760
If that would help you in any way or seems like it would assist you or whatever.

10
00:00:41,760 --> 00:00:46,360
Now, we've, last summer, I don't know whether you know about it or not, but we had a range

11
00:00:46,360 --> 00:00:49,360
of UFO sightings.

12
00:00:49,360 --> 00:00:50,360
Yes.

13
00:00:50,360 --> 00:00:54,000
And we checked them out and they were what we thought they were.

14
00:00:54,000 --> 00:00:58,320
The planets were in close proximity and so on and so forth.

15
00:00:58,320 --> 00:01:04,200
But we at that time decided it would be advantageous to set up, you know, some type of network

16
00:01:04,200 --> 00:01:09,520
where we could get some observations done on these reports because we, well, most people

17
00:01:09,520 --> 00:01:13,000
in the area know us and the news media and so on and so forth.

18
00:01:13,000 --> 00:01:16,000
And so they would phone us and say, what do you know about it?

19
00:01:16,000 --> 00:01:17,000
And we'd find out.

20
00:01:17,000 --> 00:01:19,000
It seems like we're supposed to know things about that.

21
00:01:19,000 --> 00:01:21,000
Maybe we better set something up.

22
00:01:21,000 --> 00:01:22,000
Right.

23
00:01:22,000 --> 00:01:28,000
And so we decided that that would be a good thing to do and whatever.

24
00:01:28,000 --> 00:01:32,000
Well, I figured I would phone you and see what we could do or whatever.

25
00:01:32,000 --> 00:01:33,000
Okay.

26
00:01:33,000 --> 00:01:34,000
Well, we'll get in contact with it.

27
00:01:34,000 --> 00:01:35,000
Okay.

28
00:01:35,000 --> 00:01:36,000
Any sightings or something?

29
00:01:36,000 --> 00:01:40,000
She got something hidden our way or something in our area.

30
00:01:40,000 --> 00:01:42,000
She can get to us.

31
00:01:42,000 --> 00:01:46,000
There are several telescopes which are out, you know, at all times, just matter walking

32
00:01:46,000 --> 00:01:47,000
out and covering it and looking.

33
00:01:47,000 --> 00:01:49,000
Others would take a while and get set up.

34
00:01:49,000 --> 00:01:59,000
Now our membership ranges from Shishonai to Hope to Rupert, well, beyond Rupert actually.

35
00:01:59,000 --> 00:02:05,000
I guess we have several best members dispersed about the area.

36
00:02:05,000 --> 00:02:12,000
You can well imagine it's not a popular pastime and hobby, but people, weird people like ourselves

37
00:02:12,000 --> 00:02:14,000
and to congregate together or whatever.

38
00:02:14,000 --> 00:02:15,000
Right.

39
00:02:15,000 --> 00:02:22,000
But we have a monthly meeting the first Saturday of each month if anyone in the Hinov would

40
00:02:22,000 --> 00:02:26,000
be interested in attending some of our meetings or whatever, that would be fine.

41
00:02:26,000 --> 00:02:29,000
See what we're doing and so on and so forth.

42
00:02:29,000 --> 00:02:30,000
Okay.

43
00:02:30,000 --> 00:02:32,000
Well, we'll be getting in contact then.

44
00:02:32,000 --> 00:02:33,000
Okay.

45
00:02:33,000 --> 00:02:34,000
Thank you very much.

46
00:02:34,000 --> 00:02:35,000
Okay.

47
00:02:35,000 --> 00:02:36,000
Bye.

48
00:02:36,000 --> 00:02:37,000
Bye.
