Bob, This Nexxus/ACC fray has gotten way out of proportion to the initial contacts. Lan Lamphere is indeed a "stormchaser" who accidently videotaped a fast moving object while his camera was pointed toward a developing tornado last May. For months a couple of frames were on the Windchaser site...now subsumed into Nexxus, I think. He submitted his video to several people including me for analysis. There is no doubt of th object going in a nearly straight line downward and to the left. If this object were more then 20 ft from the camera...then it was "anomalous." I have estimated its speed as roughly 1.7 times the distance in feet give miles per hour (if 10 feet away, 17 mph'; if 1000 ft away.... you tell me!) Experiments are under way to determine whether or not the object could have been within 20 ft of the camera.. Ed Wang has been part of blowing this whole thing out of proportion. He has (apparently) reported what he has been told by ACC's Jack Shulman. HOwever, confirmation of what he was told is scant at best. ACC is and should be running the show here... but with far less speculation than they have done. They are claiming to have discovered proof the transistor was "back engineered" by Bell Labs from the Roswell material. STRONG WORDS THESE! We have heard a lot of words, with the evidence supposedly contained in notebooks which do not mention flying saucers but do refer to "object" . Apparently these notebooks provide evidence that th transistor reaearch project was set up as a "front" for the real back engineering effort. Anyway, it is now 6 months since the original ACC claims (and Nexxus isn't a month old yet, so how could Nexxus have any affect?) and we still don't know much more than we did back in August. I might point out that ACC said the original description of the back engineering project was posted in the form of a "joke" to see if anyone would respond. Evidently th UFO community did respond....but not as a joke.
