Greetings to The List -- Here's a correction and a clarification to my post
of  yesterday re the impact of the Roswell non-UFO-crash on the careers of
Blanchard and Marcel.  Yesterday I wrote (snipped at ellipses):

	"Concerning Marcel,...he wasn't a rated (flying or air-crew) officer,
and...this limited his prospects in those days.  (The fact he wasn't rated is
more than a bit interesting, as in 12/78, he claimed to have ~8000 hours of
flight time, both as a civilian pilot and in the military.)"

The interview in question, with reporter Bob Pratt, was in December 1979 (not
'78), on December 8, to be exact.  Marcel said he had 3000 hours as a pilot,
plus an additional 5000 hours "flying  time," for a total of 8000 hours.  As
any pilot will tell you, that's quite a few hours, impressive even for a pro.
For comparison, my son in law, a 1990 grad of the Air Force Academy, is an
Air Force pilot (KC-135R tankers), and is just now coming up on his 1000th
hour and has just qualified as an aircraft commander. -- Ad astra!..., KARL
