That doesn't mean that you >>haven't. >Hello the list, and to Michael who I now address... >I've mentioned the Washington, DC case once or twice over the >years, but not the fact I lived on Harvard St. N.W. I lived in >an apartment building, but the scenes from the movie were of a >3-storey brownstone house, which was typical for the >neighborhood. Funny thing, I cannot recall seeing any motion >picture people thereabouts, though. It was fun seeing all the >familiar sights in a major movie. I felt like I was a part of the >whole thing. To be honest, I didn't fully appreciate the >ramifications of the UFO events at the time. ...But I do now. Grin...yes, I guess you would. I think I would feel the same way. But, like you, I would wonder how they filmed the scene without "seeing" a film crew in the area. Those things are not usually filmed in say, five minutes. I was an extra on the film: "A LEAGUE OF THEIR OWN," the story of the Women's Basball League in the 1940's during the War years. Virtually any scene they filmed; even though it only took a moment to protray in the actual film, would take 15 to 30 minutes to set up, lay out, and shoot. They would shoot it from different angles. I guess later when they were screening the footage, they decided which scene was the best. Grin...Having seen the movie, it appears that my "walk throughs," were left on the cutting room floor. It was an interesting experience however. My wife, daughter and I were there for three days. So, from your point of reflection, what do you now consider to be "the full ramifications," of the UFO events of the time? >>An interesting coincidence, indeed. It makes one wonder if >>the movie was a prerequisite for "staging" those events. >>I know, some will say that it was not possible for our >>government to stage such an event at that time in our history. >>But, I ask, how do we know that for a fact? It seems that >>there possibly were "flying disks" in operation on this >>planet at that time which were of "terrestrial" design and >>development. >>The public has been used as pawns in the international >>chess games for many years. Who is to say this was not >>just one of those games? Hmmmmmm >I don't think the Washington events were anything but >spontaneous. Everything was so open and public. Nowadays, people >are afraid of being stigmatized, and are much more shy of talking >about UFOs. At the time of the fly overs, yes...however, shortly thereafter, the lid of secrecy clamped down and it was difficult to get any further information on the "incidents." There have been several documentaries made which touched on this event and showed the alleged radar trackings. Yet, we still have a high level of denial surrounding this event. >I will be happy to assist the investigation in any manner I can. >Any questions asked of me will have the advantage of a first >hand recollection. I just hope I can remember enough to be >of help. >Regards, >Jack Thanks Jack...I appreciate the offer. REgards, Mike
