I hope each of the list members, those who are researching this
phenomena, and anyone significantly interested in the subject,
goes to Larry's site.  The data is fascinating.  Larry, if I am
not mistaken, this is exactly what Jacques Vallee wanted to do
long ago, when computers were not as yet PC's.

There must be someone out there who would consider funding
and/or volunteering there time and work with Larry, some folks
with computer expertise, to format some programs with which to
do the same for other time periods prior to and after flaps.
Perhaps even a contiguous run of maps from 1947 thru to date ...

A Herculean job but one which may dispense significant data with
which to provide this list with more debating fodder than
Carters has Little Liver Pills. And if you do not know what
Carters Little Liver Pills are ... be happy!  It means you are
young enough not to be that old.

Good work Larry.  I appreciate people like you (and some very
few others, unfortunately) who put their money where their mouth
is. Some folks like to puff and posture.  Some just like to
puff.  But the real seekers of wisdom and truth sit right down
and work their asses off.  Your name, Mr. Hatch, is synonymous
with the music business.  Some members of the Hatch family were
(are??) composers.  I have some original compositions from a
Hatch or two saved away from those years when I was studying
classical piano ... but that was so long ago it was before
Carter ... not the president either.  The Hatches were known to
our family then.

Good work, Sir.  I commend you.  And note, please, the Sir has a
capital "S."
