# NEW CYDONIA IMAGES. The MGS [Mars Global Surveyor] spacecraft flew over
the "famous" Cydonia landforms again -- for the first time since April
1998 -- on June 27, 1999. The new MOC images shown here provide the
highest resolution view yet obtained of the "Cydonia city" landforms.
http://www.msss.com/mars/global_surveyor/camera/images/7_8_99_cydonia/
: Do Martian cities have the same problems as Earth cities - gangs, drugs,
homelessness, congestion, crooked cops/politicos, alien abductions, smog?

# Close Encounters of the Possession Kind. Psychologist William Baldwin Ph.D
is one of many practitioners of a new therapy called spirit releasement,
which is based on the notion that sometimes the spirits of the newly-dead,
still addicted to an aspect of earthly existence (alcohol, smoking, fear,
etc.), attach themselves to a living human with a similar addiction, and
thereby compound the addiction in the human, often causing him or her sev-
ere depression. Exorcism therapy: http://www.newpara.com/baldwin.html
: Are you possessed by an addicted spirit? Does that make a good excuse? Are
you depressed? Is this why? Is being possessed better than being alone? How?

# New NIH Study Shows Marijuana Linked To Lethargy. The National Institute
of Health [U.S.] released the results of a controversial new study today,
one that links the drug marijuana to sitting around and getting high.
The study, a comprehensive five-year survey of drug use among Americans,
also suggests a possible connection between marijuana and getting baked
off your ass. http://www.theonion.com/onion3001w/marijuana.html
: Are you lethargic? Do you smoke pot? Is that a good excuse? Does cannabis
muck with your alien implant? Does your implant slow you down? By how much?

# AIR PRESSURE FALLS ON MIR. Russia's aging Mir space station has developed
a problem which is causing air pressure to slowly drop but the three-man,
Russian-French crew is in no immediate danger."There is no danger. The air
pressure has been dropping for about two weeks. They are calmly trying to
find what is causing the problem." The 13 year-old station is no longer
hermetically sealed: http://cnn.com/TECH/space/9907/10/mir.reut/index.html
: Do you fret when the air pressure on your space station drops? Do you have
patches, a back-up air supply, an escape hatch? Is this a plot to dump Mir?

@ The UFOCHAT.COM Space Station. Skywatch International and UfoChat.com have
joined forces; we want to announce a new Virtual UFO Community with Online
conferences, Panels, Lectures, Research Groups, etc. with members working
as teams, overseen by expert researchers in real time visual environments.
We open the Space station on July 22nd. http://www.ufochat.com/Tour.htm
: Would you rather chat about UFOs or on UFOs? Do you feel a sense of commu-
nity with UFOlogists, aliens, MIBs, me? Would you like sex with UFOlogists,
aliens, MIBs, me? Do you have a 'designer' implant? What color is it? Why??

# College joins thousands in search for life in space. As of noon Thursday,
Paul Perone's PC at Broward Community College had not detected an alien
civilization. But every now and then, he could not resist checking the
screen, to see if something in deep space was beaming a radio message at
planet Earth. "You see a spike," he said, referring to sudden blips on a
multicolored bar graph, "and you say, `Wow!' Am I being contacted by an
alien?" http://herald.com:80/content/fri/news/broward/digdocs/089877.htm
: Have you been contacted by an alien lately? Is your college, community or
bedroom full of aliens? How d'ya distinguish them from humans? D'ya bother?

# 200,000 Year Old Female Baby found in MOON Rocks! In 1969 Apollo 11 astro-
nauts brought back what appeared to be an aborted baby in a rock that was
found during their historic expedition. For 24 years, NASA kept the baby's
discovery secret. The story finally emerged when South African geologist
Dr. Richard Call showed newsmen the baby's preserved remains, telling the
reporters the shriveled fetus had been smuggled to him by a concerned NASA
lab technician. Dr. Call has spent the last 6 years studying fetus in his
laboratory. "We've been able to draw some stunning conclusions about the
moon, about the earth and - most importantly - about human evolution':
http://www.colinstevenson.free-online.co.uk/ufoets.htm
: Are you highly evolved? Have you ever lived on Luna? Have you ever left a
fetus on another planet or moon? Do you promise not to do it again? Really?

"What is the meaning of life?" asked Phil to no one in particular as he
watched the last strands of the frayed control cable of his hang glider
disintegrate into a fine brown dust that matched the parched desert floor
a mile below. --Dante Langston
