June 20, 1997
Hey, this past couple of weeks I've been in all the jet-set
cities...Stockton, Barstow, Victorville...and tomorrow, Lodi! :) . By the
way, how dated is the term "jet-set"?
My first thing has to be to let you know that I've extended the poll on "What
is the most significant UFO event of the past 50 years?" If you haven't
voted on it, please do...the more people the better. I've extended it
because it is going to get some media exposure this week, I think. Probably
EDGE OF REALITY on Saturday, and SIGHTINGS ON THE RADIO some time this week.
Possibly Art Bell as well. You now have until Monday, June 23rd. Let your
voice be heard!
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.
As to other stuff, all the major outlets will cover UFOs this week, because
of the 50th anniversary on June 24th. Some of them are "holding off" until
the anniversary of Roswell, second week in July (although the date is
somewhat debatable, and some folks may "celebrate" earlier than that. ABC
News also recently ran a video of a lake monster from Turkey...I couldn't get
it from their website, so I can't judge it. There has also been a lot of
press this week on the March UFO sightings in Phoenix...why it's running now,
I haven't figured out. I will try and do a supplement this week on books and
magazines, etc. Way past my bedtime as it is ;) .
Now, let's get into the listings! Remember, all times are 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. If you want info
on the weekly fictional shows, see Rebecca Keith’s excellent CNI NEWS MEDIA
WATCH at http://www.cninews.com. The pick of the week has to be the COACH
"very special episode" about alien abduction on this Wednesday on ABC at 8:30
PM. It was really quite extraordinary...it's like an episode on infertility,
breast cancer or aids, in the sense that is a sitcom acting like it is
treating a serious subject. The ep is called SOMEWHERE OUT THERE. 21 JUMP
STREET has a ghost episode called OLD HAUNTS IN A NEW AGE on FX on Monday at
10:00 PM. Another "street" show, HOMICIDE: LIFE ON THE STREET has another
ghost show, A GHOST OF A CHANCE on Sunday at 11:00 PM on Lifetime.
GILLIGAN'S ISLAND has GHOST A GO GO on Wednesday at 7:00 AM on TNT. THE SIX
MILLION DOLLAR MAN eps featuring Bigfoot are thought by some to have
influenced public perceptions. One of them, THE SECRET OF BIGFOOT (which
also involves aliens) runs on Monday at 6/23 at 2:00 PM on SCIFI.
MAGAZINES, NEWSLETTERS, PERIODICALS, ETC.
TIME MAGAZINE has a cover story on Roswell this week. Haven't read it yet.
USA TODAY did a piece (on Thursday, June 19) on the Phoenix sightings
ONLINE
Controversial curator of THE NATIONAL UFO, BIGFOOT, AND LOCH NESS MONSTER
MUSEUM, Erik Beckjord, hosts (and may or may not attend) a regular Tuesday
night, 6:00 PM Pacific time, chat room, at
http://www.transbay.net/~beckjord/chat/
OMNI MAGAZINE (http://www.omnimag.com) is back to do real time conferences.

Pacific. They didn't list ahead, this week, that I could see.
