# The CIA's UFO Secret. Secrets on the ground, secrets in the skies - CIA
has had plenty of both. Now a declassified CIA report adds detail to the
recent revelation that the government lied about early UFO reports in order
to conceal overhead reconnaissance operations. Was the U-2 spy plane the
CIA's real UFO secret? http://www.parascope.com/ds/articles/ufoSecret.htm
: Is this further disinformation? How many layers of lies and coverups are
there? When do you reach the core of truth? How can you tell? Is truth real?

# Japanese cult buildings raided. (ABC) Japanese police today raided build-
ings occupied by members of the Aum Supreme Truth Sect. The sect is accused

the raid as a carefully engineered act of religious suppression.

: What cults would you like to see suppressed? Has your cult ever been supp-
ressed? Should it have been? Is suppressing cults fun, profitable, risky?

*** Makah Indians celebrate whale hunt. NEAH BAY Wash (AP) The ancient taste
of tradition came back to the Makah Indians on a chilly Pacific beach - the
nutty, salty taste of whale blubber, freshly butchered from the corpse of a
female gray whale. Hundreds of Indians gathered in a cold drizzle as the 1st
whale landed by the tribe in more than 70 years was brought ashore by the US
Coast Guard-protected whaling crew, culminating months of preparation and
controversy. Environmentalists decried the killing, accomplished by a combi-
nation of the traditional - the cedar canoe, its hand-carved paddles and the
whalers' ritual prayers - and the modern, including .50-caliber rifles and
motorized boats. www.infobeat.com/stories/cgi/story.cgi?id=2559590824-761
: What endangered animals does your belief system encourage you to slaughter
and devour? Do your cultural traditions include killing Indians? Which ones?

# Gov't to create Rocky Flats reserve. GOLDEN, Colo. (AP) About 800 acres of
the former Rocky Flats nuclear weapons plant will be set aside for wildlife,
Energy Secretary Bill Richardson said. The Dept. of Energy and the Fish and
Wildlife Service will create "Rock Creek Reserve," a protected area of tall
grass prairie and wetlands at the nuclear waste cleanup site about 15 miles
NW of downtown Denver. The reserve, in a 6,000-acre "buffer zone" around the
core of the site, is home to several rare species, including the threatened
Preble's meadow jumping mouse, bald eagles, peregrine falcons, Eastern
short-horned lizards and Eastern burrowing owls. Smokey the Bear isn't
