If you've spotted a great rant, send it to us. We're very lucky this week to announce that the mysterious alien autopsy cameraman himself claims to have seen our coverage of his photo. Naturally, we have our doubts. Judge for yourselves. This week's rant: "This is indeed a strange way to meet, but the man in the photograph is me. I know for a fact that this photograph of me was taken in Quito Ecuador in November of 1994 while I was having my shoes shined. I suspected at the time that the person behind the shoeshine boy was too curios to be just selling sunglasses, but alas, the truth reveals itself once more and my suspicions have been confirmed. What this also means to me is that my near death experience on the way home from Ecuador was just as I suspected,,,,,,,,,a foiled effort to get rid of me.....hence my dissapearance for the last two years. All I will say at this point is that yes I have a forensic photo/cameraman background, but as you suspect, I did not shoot the footage in question.

Mon, Feb. 24: Five UFOs Reported Over Gulf Coast On Wednesday, February 5, 1997, at 11:30 p.m., motorists driving north on Texas Highway 36 from Brazoria (population 3,025) spotted a formation of five circular red lights in the sky. One of the motorists was the husband of Nancy Marcum, South Texas regional director of Skywatch International, and she was able to provide a detailed summary of the event. Get the details on the most recent rash of sightings in that region. --------------- Tues, Feb. 25: Nixon Speaks (Again) From Beyond the Grave! Thought you'd heard the last of corruption and chicanery in the Nixon White House? Not by a long shot. Tricky Dick is back in the news, as a steady stream of newly released audio tapes and documents from his administration add more disturbing details to the public record. Dossier sifts the new dirt on Nixon -- a goldmine of data on secret deals, illegal surveillance and political sabotage. --------------- Wed, Feb. 26: The Great American Income Tax Swindle We held this report back an extra week to add a new feature: The Top 10 Ways to Annoy the IRS! Nothing's certain, they say, except death and taxes. If you want to avoid death, there's everything from vitamins and hormones to cryonics and modern religion. But is going H&R Block all we have in the war against taxes? Why do so many huge corporations pay virtually no taxes? What about individuals who simply refuse to participate in the U.S. Treasury's "voluntary" income tax system? There's a lot the IRS doesn't want you to know, and ParaScope has it all. --------------- Thurs, Feb. 27: Final Prophecy of Fatima: Revealed at Last? More than 80 years ago, three peasant children in the tiny village of Fatima, Portugal, allegedly witnessed a series of miraculous visions of the Virgin Mary. The Holy Mother is said to have revealed a number of prophecies to the children, the third of which has never come to pass. Now a Portugese professor believes he has interpreted the third, final prophecy of Fatima... and it's not quite what you'd expect! Is this just an elaborate smokescreen to conceal the true visions of Fatima, or has the third prophecy been revealed? --------------- Fri, Feb. 28: Crack the CIA Protest Report The people of Los Angeles have been plagued for a decade by the scourge of crack cocaine, and new evidence suggesting the CIA may have been involved in importing, popularizing and marketing this deadly drug has motivated a broad cross-section of citizens to speak out. ParaScope has been following this shocking story since the beginning, and will bring you the latest details from the Crack the CIA Protest taking place this Saturday at high noon on the steps of City Hall. +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ Want to help change the world, or at least a little corner of the online world?
