Am I just >being dense here? That was briefly discussed during the sighting. We did drive to another location after the event to scope out the area. I have alot of experience in videotaping UFOs. I have been thru the experience, and the rush of seeing it many times. There are millions of things you think of after its all over, what you could of done. If I only brought this with, sort of thing. On the original audio from my tape you can here one witness suggesting to go to Pecos road. I knew if we did, we probably would lose it. We weren't familar with Steve's neighborhood. Later on we found out that someone who works with Steve was already down on Pecos road that night. He witnesses some of what we videotaped that night. >Where could the depths of paranoia take me?

Huddling in a dark Italian >bar, in whispered conversations, they swear an oath of allegiance >to never mention triangulation... >After all aren't we constantly reminded here on this mail list >how easily ufologist come together for their own self interest. >(Ow, I am killing myself. Somebody stop me...) >So, anyway, where are those triangulation maps from all those >March 13 videos??? The triangulation maps haven't completly been released on the Internet yet. It is one of the few cards to check against the military. We know where these objects are at exact times, locations, and descriptions. The hundred of witnesses were interviewed by Bill and Village Labs. A wealth of data exists but is used to cross check new witnesses. We waited along time to get a few pieces of information about that night from our military. If the triangulation maps were released, then the Maryland National Guard might have taken that data and worked it in their counter-story. Some other investigators checking into the military recently. The Military said before they launched their flares at 3,000 ft. Now they're changing to 15,000 ft. Also noted was "decoy flares" are now changed to "decoy/illumination flares", that are white? Now they don't want to seem to even talk about it anymore.
