"We certainly have put on a full-court press to try to retrieve these
weapons, which are very dangerous weapons."

six FBI SWAT squads took to a training session in Memphis. The FBI's M-16

Rant of the Week: "A Frog MystRE 4U2C!"
Every week we pick the wackiest, scariest, nastiest or funniest rant from the
hundreds of letters received by us here at ParaScope headquarters, and present
it to you as our Rant of the Week. This week, "Phonetic Phil" sends us a
special message in shorthand code about the mysteries of his dead frog.
(That's righ, it croaked.) Enjoy!
"Hi - I have never visited this site b4...interesting and rather comical,
because my son had 2 frogs and over the past few weeks, we have noted the
oddest things occurring. First of all, frog #1 was found dead in the tank,
but he was standing in the tank looking out; head above water as if he was
alive - which in fact he was, only an hour or so earlier. I took the frog
along w/water sample 2 the pet shop, where i was told that the water's
ammonia and nitrite levels were off the scale...however, the water was clean
and treated, also, only hours b4...and the goldfish in the tank who r
extremely vulnerable, were fine. But wait - there is more...then, frog #2,
has been found OUT of the enclosed tank, TWICE. There is no way 4 him 2
escape -- he is a small leopard frog and the top of the tank is covered.
***Why this is of note*** I am what u likely refer 2 as an "abductee" altho
i do not fancy the term. This has been so since infancy...and has come 2
include my son, who is now 14. So U C - we experience rather unusual events
Here anyway...(well, not unusual 2 us)...but u understand. Also - in the
downstairs tank which is also covered, we discovered our largest goldfish
laying on the floor about four feet from the tank - (also enclosed); with no
way 4 the fish 2 leap out. I happened across your frog article and it just
made me wonder if something is going on here that invlolves the removal of
these critters. There is no simple explanation 4 any of these occurrences -
and there r no pranks occurring either. Just thought i would throw this out
there 4 U...i never have sent a web message of any sort b4...i feel a bit
awkward. Ah well - if nothing else - i suppose this may provide a few
giggles at your end. Thanks 4 reading this."

We Ain't Afraid of No Ghosts
If you didn't stop by the Grassy Knoll this week, you missed an event unlike
any ever held in cyberspace. Our 25 Hours in a Haunted Mansion was a raging
success, with literally thousands of folks taking part in our online
ghost-hunt. Congratulations and thanks to all the ParaScope remote staff
members, chat hosts and regulars who made this event great, especially to
PSCP Kokyan and PSCP Itus and the hosts who accompanied them all the way to
New Orleans. A Big thank-you also to Larry Montz of "Hauntings Today" and the
Southern Nights Writer's Bed, the most haunted house in New Orleans.
If you missed the live haunt-hunt, don't dismay. We're furiously compiling
all the information, logs and photos of the event and will soon have a
comprehensive story up online so you can find out what you missed.

ParaScope to Build "Tent City" in Roswell
Just when you thought it was safe to go back in the chat room, we remind you
that we'll be descending en masse to Roswell, New Mexico to mark the 50th
anniversary of the Roswell UFO crash. At current count, close to 80 ParaScope
staffers and regulars will be on hand for the event, and we'll be
cybercasting live from multiple locations throughout the Roswell area. Stock
up on junk food and prepare to spend the 4th of July weekend in front of your
computers as we present another ground-breaking online event. For details on
the ParaScope Roswell Rendezvous, send e-mail to PSCPLegend@aol.com with
"roswell" in your subject line.

Featured Chat: How I Learned to Loathe the Bomb
Duck and cover! Jump in that bomb shelter, man, because the Russkies could
drop the big one on us at any time, without warning. No, it's not the height
of the Cold War all over again, but would someone please tell that to the
Pentagon? A recent report from the San Francisco Chronicle indicates that
scientists are readying a series of controversial experiments including
highly dangerous plutonium tests. Is the military-industrial complex
conspiring to keep making and testing bombs we don't need, or do they know
something they're not telling us? Join your hosts PSCPgunman and PSCPSphynx
as we discuss the mystery behind ongoing nukes projects, this Sunday, June 8
starting at 11pm ET.
Also, join us in the Crop Circle, ParaScope's web-based chat room every
Saturday night at 9pm ET for great times and good conversation.

Just Another ParaScope "Sighting"
ParaScope as an online entity can now almost join the ranks of Bigfoot, the
Goatsucker and the Loch Ness Monster. Like all three, ParaScope is a strange,
unexplained and misunderstood creature beloved and sighted by slightly
"off-center" folks around the globe. But there remain those who deny our
existence. Luckily, the Sci-Fi Channel's "Sightings" television show recently
featured a segment on ParaScope, which surprised those of us here at Scope
Headquarters because we don't get the Sci-Fi Channel, and seldom have time
for TV anyway. If you caught the show (or happened to tape it), please drop
us a line at parascope@aol.com so we can find out what "they" are saying
about us "out there" in TV land.
