[Response from moderator follows] From CNN QuickNews 23 Dec 97: * HUGE BALLOON PROPOSED TO LAUNCH ASTRONOMY INSTRUMENTS NASA is planning to build a superballoon taller than a 30-story building to ferry astronomy instruments to the edge of the earth's atmosphere. The balloon would lift about 3,000 pounds to a height of more than 22 miles. The cost will be about $1 million, much cheaper than expensive rocket launches. Plans call for the balloon to stay aloft more than 100 days, enough time to circle the globe if the winds are right. -->Instruments can be reused ..... http://cnn.com/TECH/9712/22/superballoon.ap/ * U.S. RELEASES FILMS OF COLD WAR ATOMIC TESTS Images of U.S. nuclear testing were filmed by the government during the Cold War but had never been seen by the public until Monday. Recently declassified, and just released by the U.S. Department of Energy, the films from the 1950s and '60s offer historians a ringside seat at Operation Redwing, Operation Wigwam, Operation Knothole and Ivy Flats -- some of the country's most dramatic Cold War experiments. -->Animals used in testing ..... http://cnn.com/US/9712/22/nuclear.films/ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ric@sonic.net * http://www.sonic.net/~ric * yow! +--------------------------------------------------------------- | UFOMIND MAILING LIST - Supporting the Ufomind/PsiSpy Website | http://www.ufomind.com/misc/ - Glenn Campbell, Moderator | Submissions to: ufomind@lists.best.com | "unsubscribe" (in body) to: ufomind-request@lists.best.com | | RELEVANCE OF THIS MESSAGE: Current News +--------------------------------------------------------------- I like the format of this message and encourage other contributors to follow it. Since I can't post whole articles without violating copyright, this makes an acceptable alternative. It is "fair use" to just include the first paragraph, or you can summarize the article in your own words. Some of the URLs will vanish in a few days, but at least we have preserved the gist of it and now know that the article exists. You can include multiple articles in the same message -- all of those that you find in a single surfing session. As long as the articles are all reasonably relevant to the topics on the Ufomind server, I will pass along the whole message. Glenn
