In respect of the anonymous message posted about some kind of Vatican
computer link to the Hubble Space Telescope.

Anonymous source material has to be taken with the proverbial "pinch of
salt" of course, but I thought it would interest colleagues if I quote
directly from a small piece submitted by our astronomy correspondent,
Andrew Pike, which featured in his Space & Astronomy column in our
September/October '96 issue of UFO Magazine (page 63).

Andrew Pike is a physics graduate of the University of London, where he was
awarded a degree in Astrophysics. He has carried out post-graduate work in
Mathematical Modelling, and is both a Member of the British Astronomical
Association and Fellow of the Royal Astronomical Society. He is a frequent
broadcaster about astronomy and space matters.

Andrew Pike's article, plus Night Sky Guide for September/October '96,
arrived early August. The issue itself appeared on the newsstands here in
the UK on Thursday, 29 August. I quote:

HEAVENS ABOVE!

IT PROBABLY COMES AS NO SURPRISE TO LEARN NASA HAVE SEVERAL HUNDRED
UNRELEASED PHOTOGRAPHS FROM THE HUBBLE SPACE TELESCOPE.

RUMOURS ARE CURRENTLY CIRCULATING IN THE WORLD OF ASTRONOMY THAT ONE TAKEN
ON 26 MARCH 1996, AND BEING HELD BACK, SHOWS A WHITE CITY OF MASSIVE
PROPORTIONS JUST FLOATING IN DEEP SPACE, REMINISCENT OF HEAVEN!

ONE NASA SPOKESMAN SAID: "MAYBE THE WILL OF GOD POINTED THE TELESCOPE IN
THAT DIRECTION."

IT SEEMS THAT PRESIDENT CLINTON, VICE-PRESIDENT AL GORE AND POPE JOHN PAUL
II ARE BEING KEPT UPDATED. IT'S ALSO RUMOURED NASA WILL RELEASE THE
PHOTOGRAPH, ONLY BECAUSE IT IS SAID TO HAVE ALREADY BEEN LEAKED. MAKE OF
THAT WHAT YOU WILL! [End-Quote

I draw this article to your attention because it is the only boni-fide and
authenticated reference from a named source (Andrew Pike) which includes
the Pope, Hubble Space Telescope and a mysterious object in space. It does
not purport to give credence to the claims submitted by the anonymous
"Priest" but it does pose some interesting questions.

Unfortunately, Andrew Pike does not have an E-mail facility, but he has
provided yet further interesting comments about Hale-Bopp in his latest
Space & Astronomy column which features in the impending Jan/Feb '97 issue
of UFO Magazine (on-sale date 27 December here in the UK).

Food for thought - consigned to the waste basket, or the "grey" basket?

All the best,
