SPIRITUAL SECT WAITS FOR GOD IN TEXAS
GARLAND, Texas (December 23, 1997 5:36 p.m. EST http://www.nando.net)
- A Taiwanese spiritual sect has moved into a working-class
neighborhood in this north Dallas suburb to await God's arrival here
in March 1998, the group's leader said Tuesday.
Hoh-Ming Chen, who led about 150 followers, including more than 30
children here from Taiwan, said Tuesday God would be reincarnated as
man on March 31 at precisely 10 a.m. local time/11 a.m at his modest
house on Ridgedale Drive.

FOIAville: Good things take time
By Billy Cox
On Nov. 7 last year, shortly after 11 a.m., Jim Graw, a security
guard at Aquarina in Melbourne Beach, was glancing east when he
became transfixed by two elliptical metallic objects, each
roughly the size of a jumboliner, cruising north at a leisurely
pace along the shoreline. Glinting sunlight, they were visible
for about a minute, not even a mile away. Graw was amazed. "I
couldn't identify them. They were definitely round and
disc-shaped," he said.

SPIES LIKE US
A European Commission report warns that the United States has developed
an extensive network spying on European citizens and we should all be
worried. Simon Davies reports
"Within Europe all email telephone and fax communications
are routinely intercepted by the United States National Security Agency
transfering all target information from the European mainland via the
strategic hub of London then by satellite to Fort Meade in Maryland via
the crucial hub at Menwith Hill in the North York moors in the UK."
Notes:
Menwith Hill is situated in the UK at 52º 52" N, 03º 03" W, and the
"Photo of the Menwith Hill installation" link
http://www.fas.org/irp/overhead/menwith.htm
...refers to a site maintained by John Pike, where you'll find a map of
the area as well. The text accompanying the photo reads:
"The 1996 Strategic Assessment by the National Defense University
includes a chapter on Intelligence which includes the following aerial
photograph, captioned "Overseas collection site with covered antennae.""

TOWN CONSIDERS LICENSING NAME
ROSWELL (AP) - The mere mention of Roswell is enough to conjure up
images of aliens and crashed UFOs. Mayor Tom Jennings is willing to
bank on it.
After cashing in earlier this year on the 50th anniversary of the
purported crash of an alien spacecraft in the nearby desert, the City
Council is now considering registering "Roswell, New Mexico" as a
global trademark.
