| #9 I was aware of the advances in facial recognition, but I had to see it in the same paragraph as Israel for the lightbulb to go on. I have been puzzling for weeks why Israel's intelligence suddenly seems to have got a lot better. I think they are using covertly placed cameras linked wirelessly to computers to crunch the images. BTW a couple of Israeli companies are world leaders in human image processing. |

| #5 Am away from my links, and don't have time to go through Belmont carefully right now. But, if he didn't mention it, keep in mind that Boeing just tested a new stealthed UAV ... flys at 35000 feet and is NOT teleoperated (big advance). The guided munition it dropped in the test hit within inches of its truck target. Heh! |

| #4 Forget I said anything. Lies all lies. There wasn't anything in the sky in the shape of an H. And it didn't move south very slowly. FM JD. There is that depth charge thing though. A shot glass of bourbon droped into a glass of beer with chants of "Go on, it's your birthday". Deadly! |

| #3 the shape was like two whiskey barrels on end attached together Please be discreet. The whiskey bomb is still in development and will require a minimum of 7 years before use. |

| #1 I mentioned about a year ago that I saw a UFO hanging in the air very high up. It caught my eye as it was between high altidude airlanes and approach lanes to SeaTac International and McChord AFB. It was a bright sunny day and this object just stood there hovering. We put Binoculars on it but it was still to high to get a good glimpse of. The size of a BMW Mini I would guess. It slowly started moving south at the pace of about 25mph. The next week my inlaws were over and I was telling them about the UFO we had seen. I pointed to the area and behold there it was again slightly lower in the sky so we got a better visual on it. It was very reflective, polished allow, the shape was like two whiskey barrels on end attached together at their center with two rods. Like the letter H. Very ungainly it would articulate about the rods. It again slowly moved of south. Again it was really high. Being that Ft Lewis was about 25 miles from the craft I suspected a UAV. But it was a wierd animal. |
