The story broke late Friday night when a major stationed at nearby Ares
Vallis Air Force Base contacted the Valles Marineris Daily Record with a
story about a strange, balloon-shaped object which allegedly came down in
the nearby desert, "bouncing" several times before coming to a stop,
"deflating in a sudden explosion of alien gases". Minutes later, General
Rgrmrmy The Lesser contacted the Daily Record telepathically to contradict
the earlier report.

Breaking news story
Date: Wed, 9 Jul 97 3:20:01 EDT
From: griffith@netCQm.com (Jim Griffith)
Valles Marineris (MPI) - A spokesthing for Mars Air Force denounced as
false rumors that an alien space craft crashed in the desert, outside of
Ares Vallis on Friday. Appearing at a press conference today, General
Rgrmrmy The Lesser, stated that "the object was, in fact, a harmless
high-altitude weather balloon, not an alien spacecraft".
General Rgrmrmy The Lesser stated that hysterical stories of a detachable
vehicle roaming across the Martian desert were blatant fiction, provoked
by incidences involving swamp gas. But the general public has been slow
to accept the Air Force's explanation of recent events, preferring to
speculate on the "other-worldly" nature of the crash debris. Conspiracy
theorists have condemned
Rgrmrmy's statements as evidence of "an obvious government
cover-up", pointing out that Mars has no swamps.

SKYWATCH INTERNATIONAL INCORPORATED
UK Coast Buzzed By 24,000 MPH UFO
RAF
Our questions are.
UK DIRECTOR
DAVE A DUNWORTH
The Dutch air force had at the same time been tracking the UFO and they
scrambled two F-16 fighters to give chase but the craft was to out
manoeuvre the F-16 and disappear towards the Atlantic.
The RAF Tracked the triangular UFO at incredible speeds and RAF Fighters
could not intercept it over the North Sea.
The RAF has revealed yesterday they tracked a UFO as big as a battleship
off the UK West Coast, military sources also revealed they have other radar
tapes that prove we have UFO's entering restricted air space in the UK.
They said the large craft was tracked flying in a zig-zag manoeuvre at
speeds recorded showing acceleration from 17,000 mph to 24,000 mph,
fighter pilots were on an intercept course when the UFO suddenly
accelerated and disappeared over the north sea.
1, Does this pose a threat to national security having such frequent
unauthorised visitations at
supposed secure military installations by UFO's?
The RAF are considering releasing a second series of tapes showing 12 UFO's
changing shape in mid flight.
Skywatch International UK Director Dave A Dunworth has said the craft has
been spotted on numerous occasions in the UK and around the world
displaying characteristics unlike conventional aircraft.
The RAF have said this craft was definitely under intelligent control and
displayed remarkable manoeuvrability unlike any conventional aircraft, the
craft was about 900ft long about the size of a battleship.
Other sightings and radar recordings have been made of the same craft
during the past two years but the military will not release them as this
information would give away vital information regarding the Fylingdale
moors scanning ability.
Sources from the national UFO media are saying this "battleship" could be
an experimental aircraft or possibly be a sighting caused by freak weather
conditions.
The RAF officials are claiming to be baffled by this incident and are
collecting and analysing Radar tape and other relevant data and information
from the listening station at Fylingdales moor North Yorkshire. It has been
rumoured that the findings at this stage will be presented to National
Security personnel at White Hall London in the near future.
Radar records and all relevant information on this sighting and other
sightings are being presented to top Scientists and military experts from
around the world at a conference at the RAF college, Cranwell Lincolnshire
in June.

Could these visitations be evidence of an advanced extraterrestrial
civilisation visiting our planet
or is it a terrestrial based phenomena ?
Why after years of denial are the RAF releasing information confirming
that we do have Unidentified Flying Objects
breaking secure airspace ?
Are we dealing with yet another story to fuel the smokescreen put in
place by the military, as some ufologists have suggested to cover our own
secret experimental aircraft operations ?
Skywatch International Inc. and this list service are
not responsible for content or authenticity of posts.
What is the agenda of the military for the sudden disclosure of this
information and more to the point if these craft are extraterrestrial what
is their agenda and does the military already know the answers to all our
questions ?
