Indeed, as an old veteran spectator of the UFO scene I do remember some of those test very well. I seem to recall that nothing of great significance ever came of those tests. I assume earthly origins were concluded. I'm mindful of the stardust hypothesis. I certainly don't dispute such conjecture either. Different stars... different isotope percentages. Makes sense to me. The point I was trying to get across was is the fact that there has occasionally been some lively conjecture on the premise that nature, right here on our own planet, might also provide "natural" mechanisms that could possibly induce transmutation, such as within in the earth's crust. I know nothing about how such a "natural" transmutational processes might go about happening, assuming that it DOES. The concept of transmutation itself is obviously controversial and highly speculative. Nevertheless, if "natural" transmutations DO occur, it seems to me that currently we know next to nothing about what kinds of isotopic rations might be involved. It also seems to me that some of us may be guilty of trying to pigeonhole this highly speculated transmutation distribution ratios based on star fusion physics. Such pigeonholing might turn out to be inappropriate. Regards Steven Vincent Johnson www.OrionWorks.com www.zazzle.com/orionworks
