July 25, 1997
Thank you for the kind words from the folks who have been to the website.
Expect it to grow in leaps and bounds, especially in the area of reading
lists. I'm hoping to have all the basic areas in place by August 1. The
biggest buzz this week seems to be on Fox's UFO: THE BEST EVIDENCE EVER
CAUGHT ON TAPE on Monday night. Haven't seen it, but several ufolks were
involved. I also saw a preview for a film for the Fall based on the
Cottingley fairy photographs incident. Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, a well-known
spiritualist and author of Sherlock Holmes, championed these pictures taken
by two little girls of dancing figures maybe ten centimeters (less than half
a foot) tall. Unfortunately, the book doesn't seem to be in print right now.
I have a copy, but that doesn't do you much good :) . Maybe it will be
reissued in conjunction with the film, although I doubt they have much in
common.
CLICKABLE LINKS
You may noticed some underlined (and possibly blue) links. This includes
book titles: if you click on them, you can get more information and/or order
the book. For most people, you should be able to click on that to go there.
If youm are reading this on-line, it ought to be direct...if not, it may
want you to sign on first.

I'm very excited about this! Some of you know, I ran a bookstore for years,
and it has always been a love of mine. I get asked often to recommend books
(I do write reviews for several publications) on these topics, and now I can
do it and actually give you a source for them at the same time! This is
being done in association with Amazon.com, which has an outstanding
reputation for the five "S"s of internet shopping: selection, searchability,
service savings, and security. If there is any specific book you want (or
topic in which you are interested), let me know and I will do the research
and e-mail you a link you can use to check it out more (and order it if you
want). I will be linking to books within the Media Alert, to make it more
efficient for you. If you click on the link, you will be sent to that title
on Amazon. You do =not= have to buy it at that point! You may, but the
option is yours.
On to the listings! (Remember, times given here are generally Pacific)
FICTIONAL NOTES:
This is where I briefly cover items which are fictional but which I feel are
worth mentioning, either because of the impact they have had on the field or
vice versa. I don't list weekly shows, just special items. FX on Thursday at
11:00 PM, the "Sightings" episode of PICKET FENCES. Wednesday, July 30 at
12:00 AM on USA, RENEGADE, the "Hard Evidence" ep, where they fight with the
military over alien remains. Plucky Duck gets abducted (say that ten times
quickly!) on TINY TOON ADVENTURES ep "A Quack in the Quarks" on Wed at 3:20
PM on Nickelodeon. GILLIGAN'S ISLAND is haunted in GHOST A GO GO on Friday
on TNT at 7:00 AM. Don't miss THE DAY THE EARTH STOOD STILL, Saturday on
Showtime at 8:30 AM.
MAGAZINES, NEWSLETTERS, ETC.
Gotten some good ones lately, will try and do a supplement this week.
