I'm placing my bet on thoughtspeed. It's a great concept and it's a
great word. How could I do any better than that?

I agree with Allan the distance challenge is daunting. In an endless

But there is hope....

It's fun to speculate. The ball is in your court.

I've been around for a while now, so I thought I'd put in a topic for
discussion. I'm very interested in the UFO phenomenon and wonder what the
singing minds here have to say about it. As for me, I don't have a dog in
this fight --I tend to think that there's something to them, something very
unusual, but I'm not at all certain that they're even piloted. Jacques
Valee, one of the more interesting theorists on the subject, says that
they're something like external dreams. Well, he doesn't say that exactly,
but that's how I interpret him. Carl Jung, who was also very interested in
the topic, says something very similar.
I have an experience to relate, too. About fifteen or sixteen years ago, I
was flying down to Las Vegas on Southwest. Looking out of my window I saw,
perhaps 20,000 feet below us, a disc-shaped object. It was featureless and,
in the bright sun and from this angle, almost perfectly white. It wasn't
particularly fast and other than the fact that it was round, it wasn't all
that interesting. I told my three travel mates, and they all basically
called me a liar. (I was very interested in occult topics in those days, so
my judgment was highly suspect.) I'm not convinced that it wasn't something
like a military test craft or something like that, but it was a UFO both in
the high woo woo sense and in the sense that it was an unfamiliar flying
object. Anyway, that's my story and I'm sticking to it.
Tennis, anyone?
