|
Subj: interesting stuff
|
|
|
|
|
|
This afternoon (5-3-91) on the For The People radio talk show,
|
|
Dr. Richard Hoagland (I hope I spelled his name right) made a
|
|
fairly strong case - abet on circumstantial evidence - that
|
|
there has been a super-secret US launch of a non-manned craft
|
|
towards Mars. His speculation is that the last Novermber
|
|
launch of shuttle ATLANTIS was the time of the start of the
|
|
mission and that there could be results coming back within a
|
|
month. He said that off-the-shelf hardware could easily be
|
|
used and would provide exellent results, of much better
|
|
quality that that of the last Mars missions. The reason for a
|
|
launch?
|
|
To steal a march on the public to see if there really is
|
|
something to the reports of ruins on the surface of Mars.
|
|
Please note that MY notes on his discussion were made on the
|
|
back of a lunch sack in an often moving vehicle.... There was
|
|
limited ability on my part to get a lot of what he said
|
|
down...and to read it later.
|
|
His speculations were based on a number of items...not all of
|
|
them are listed here:
|
|
|
|
1) the US government could not stand not knowing if there is
|
|
actually some kind of base or ruins on Mars. They would
|
|
consider it a matter of national security if there was
|
|
actually some kind of artifacts on the surface of Mars
|
|
|
|
2) that if WE didn't get there quickly the USSR would
|
|
|
|
3) that if the pics to be sent back in 1993 by the Mars
|
|
Observer (see further speculations on this later) actually
|
|
showed some kind of ruins the citizens might have a problem of
|
|
some kind with the knowledge. As an aside, he mentioned that
|
|
the Observer would be "expendable" (just as the Galieo (sp?)
|
|
telescope seems to have been expendable) if there really is
|
|
something there.
|
|
|
|
4) That there are a number of curious happenings involving the
|
|
Mars Observer (due for a mid to late 1992 launch and 1993
|
|
arrival date) such as the continued refusal of NASA to launch
|
|
the probe. EXAMPLE: Claims of no money for a booster (the
|
|
company that produces Titan boosters offerred a FREE booster
|
|
if NASA would just get the Observer off on its original
|
|
schedule).
|
|
|
|
5) He asked some interesting questions about the current
|
|
shuttle mission... Why is it that all previous military
|
|
missions involving what was supposed to be Star Wars
|
|
technology have been so security controlled that they did
|
|
not even give out the astronauts names but this time they not
|
|
only tell all but show all with live pics showing the interior
|
|
of the cargo bay with all the equipment being tested??
|
|
Possibly to distract from signals to/from Mars?
|
|
|
|
He pointed out that our government has a huge fund of "secret"
|
|
money that could be used to fund this launch. A launch of
|
|
this type only costs maybe $200 million, which would be pocket
|
|
change out of what some of his sources say is perhaps a $35
|
|
billion fund of non-Congressionally supervised money. He
|
|
mentioned a book called Blank Check as a source...I didn't get
|
|
the author's name.
|
|
The technology is, as mentioned earlier, off-the-shelf stuff.
|
|
With minor modifications, spy satilites of the same type as
|
|
those now orbiting Earth could be used to take pics of the
|
|
ruins and transmit them back home. These birds are able to
|
|
take pics of auto licence tags if the operators wanted them
|
|
to and with good enough resolution to read them, says
|
|
Hoagland. Regular Xband and Maser transmission methods can
|
|
easily get the information back, but it would likely be
|
|
encripted. The Deepspace Network (receiving stations operated
|
|
by NASA?) that were used to easedrop on and assist the
|
|
navigation of the Russian PHOBOS probes could act as receiving
|
|
stations. Hoagland was not, in my mind, doing a "Well, it
|
|
could be happening" Radio Talk Show. He appeared to be
|
|
extremely serious about this. He has also set up a Mars
|
|
Mission organization that is trying to get information out
|
|
about the pics that are already available and about this
|
|
possiable new secret mission.
