June 6, 1997

I had a good time in Seattle, but was a bit disappointed to see no
merchandise specifically tailored to the area's rich "weird" history.  King
County officially recognizes bigfoot as a species seen in its wetlands.  The
"first" flying saucer sighting took place near Mt. Rainier (on June 24,
1997).  Seems to me they are missing a marketing opportunity here.

Speaking of that sighting, and the fifty year anniversary coming up, I'm
getting some very interesting responses to my question on "What is the most
significant UFO event of the past fifty years?"  The 1952 Washington D.C.
flap is still going strong, although I've had several votes for there being
=no= significant events, that, basically, there's nothing to it.  I will
accept votes through June 18th.

I have to formalize a format, though, since a number of people have named a
couple of things and then sort of left it up to me to pick, which doesn't
work.  I'll let you "split" your single vote between up to four events.  If
you pick two as "most significant", then each one will get one half of a
vote.  You may also name up to ten "honorable mentions".  I'll put these into
a special, separate category.  They'll get mentioned, but won't be counted in
the tally.  Here's a "form" to help structure it:

_____________________________________

The most significant UFO event of the past fifty years is
______________________ (you get one vote here, but you may split it up to
four ways)

My honorable mentions (up to ten) are __________________

______________________________________

If you have already voted, I would appreciate it if you do so again using
this format.  If you haven't, please do...the more, the better.

Now, let's get into the listings!

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.  If you want info
on the weekly fictional shows, see Rebecca Keith’s  excellent CNI NEWS MEDIA
WATCH at http://www.cninews.com.   AMERICAN MOVIE CLASSICS is running a bunch
of Tarzan movies this week, especially Saturday.  Why is that appropriate?
 In the books, Tarzan was not raised by one of the apes science recognizes,
but by an unknown species, more hominid than chimps...essentially, a
bigfoot/yeti/yowie/etc. type.  Virtually every sitcom has done a UFO episode:
SOAP's airs on the Comedy Channel on Friday at 8:00 AM and 2:00 PM.  PICKET
FENCES has one of their "weird" episodes, AWAY IN A MANGER, about cows that
may have been injected with "alien DNA", on FX on Saturday at 11:00 PM.  From
cows to lambs, Hush Puppy (who is a dog...is this confusing?) is visited by
an alien on THE PLANET YZARC (od yeht evah tobors ereht?  Teg ti?) on LAMB
CHOP'S PLAY ALONG on Tuesday.  On CHiPS on TNT on Thursday at 9:00 AM, agirl
robs a jewelry store because THE SPACEMAN MADE ME DO IT.  RUPERT, on
Nickelodeon on Thurday at 10:00 AM has RUPERT AND THE UFO.  Shows don't only
do UFOs...a common sitcom plot is for one character to apparently become
psychic, like Screech on SAVED BY THE BELL on Thursday at 2:05 PM on TBS.
 Then there are ghosts: a 1700s witch may haunt the Inn, but Dick doesn't
think so in THE STRATFORD HORROR PICTURE SHOW episode of NEWHART at 10:00 PM
on Nickelodeon; and GRACE UNDER FIRE (a show whose star has claimed a close
encounter) has THE GHOST AND MRS. KELLY on Wednesday on ABC at 8:00 PM.
 Wednesday at 6:00 PM and 10:00 PM on THE SCI-FI CHANNEL, we get one of the
classics, EARTH VS. THE FLYING SAUCERS.
