# New Guinea UFO Said To Be Satellite - NASA spoils all the fun:
http://www.space.com/spaceimagined/area51/new_guinea_ufo_991112.html
@ WHAT'S REALLY IMPORTANT? People spend too much time trying to figure out
"the truth" about UFO's. They're spending so much time trying to figure
out "the Truth", that they are avoiding the real point. Themselves. Your
own personal truth. We as people can't even handle THAT. How are we
supposed to handle an alien race, that not only has advanced technology,
but has advanced mentality to boot? http://www.caus.org/mc021700.htm
: Do you ask the right questions? Are the answers important? Can you handle
contact with advanced concepts? How d'ya know? Have you advanced yourself
lately? Have you fallen back? Are you just treading water? Will Borgs win?

@ THE VATICAN MESSAGE. The Vatican has suppressed this for years now. Six
Soviet Cosmonauts in 1985 saw "celestial beings" on the 155th day aboard
their orbital space station. This was first reported by Cosmonaut Vladimir
Solevev and Oleg Atkov as well as Leonid Kizim. This is what they said,
"What we saw were seven giant figures in the form of humans, but with
wings and mist-like halos as in the classic depiction of angels." Subse-
quent sightings: http://www.tex-is.net/users/csbrocato/vatican.htm
@ WILHELM REICH'S CONTACT WITH SPACE. "There is no proof. There are no auth-
orities whatever. No president, Academy, Court of Law, Congress or Senate
on this earth has the knowledge or power to decide what will be the know-
ledge of tomorrow. There is no use in trying to prove something that is
unknown to somebody who is ignorant of the unknown, or fearful of its
threatening power. Only the good old rules of learning will eventually
bring about understanding of what has invaded our earthly existence."
And so on: ftp://bsrf-web:[EMAIL PROTECTED]/wrcontac.txt
: Has anything invaded your earthly existence lately? Did it invade you on
the ground/water, in the sky/space, in your bathroom/kitchen/laundry, at
work/school/church/court? Have you invaded anyone else lately? And why not?

CTRL is a discussion & informational exchange list. Proselytizing propagandic
screeds are not allowed. Substance—not soap-boxing! These are sordid matters
and 'conspiracy theory'—with its many half-truths, misdirections and outright
frauds—is used politically by different groups with major and minor effects
spread throughout the spectrum of time and thought. That being said, CTRL
gives no endorsement to the validity of posts, and always suggests to readers;
be wary of what you read. CTRL gives no credence to Holocaust denial and
nazi's need not apply.
