Hello John, Don and all list members,

I always have to laugh when I hear about CSETI's light flashing techniques.
As with everything else in ufology, there is little in the way of new
approaches. A man named Jack Maynard and the Great Lakes Flying Saucer Club
believed an "open mind" can help one make contact with aliens. Maynard used
a huge flashlight which he flashed off and on to attract the attention of
the saucers.

When was this you ask? Back in the early to mid 1950's!

Just another example of the progression we've accomplished over the past 40
- 50 years in our approach to studying UFOs. :)
