UFOS over New England

The indians, like every where else have seen ufos long before white men got here.
One of the first incidents of white men shooting at ufos was in 1896, with two guards at the Portsmouth Naval ship yard. The 2 guards saw in one fall night while guarding a ship. They each shot one shot at the object and heard the ping of the shot on the craft.
Then the object took off going up the Piscataqua River going into Newington and then it was seen in Great Bay. It then was seen in Dover NH. The article is in the archives of ufo digest. Search my name on the web. Their you will find about 80-90 articles by me.

Gigas,
while researching gigas I came apon the codex gigas, the one that wieghs a whoping 160 pounds.
Humans as a general rule when scared by what ever shoot first, then check to see if it's still alive.
This explains why there are so many cases of friendly fire (which isn't) This is also covered in murphys rules of combat.
If you take say 700 or so armed men and place them in a hole in the ground just before dark. Give them an enemy of unknown
size and location. The odds are somebody is going to get shot. (see the case of Pat Tillman). It has happened to my unit in desert storm I.
In desert storm II (the one I missed) They 7 K.I.A.s and 27 other casulties. How ever every one gets real quiet when you mention friendly fire.

You are most certainly right. Ignorance is Bliss they say. Then a lot of people must be escatic with joy!!!! Some people must be out of their mind with the mind of Patton. some sayings of Patton I like..but not his mind set of keeping war alive.

Actually at one point in my military carrer I worked for the quartermaster general for the army. For bieng a pompus ass, he passed patton like he was standing still. He was the man responcible for Somlia. It would seem that since the generals were responcible for the planning of the operation. Of course bieng generals they could'n't ask the navy for any advice. So they loaded all of the heavy armor and artilllery on to a large deep draft ship. They didn't take into account that the water was too shallow to bring the ships into port to off load. In most casses of that nature the navy would have sent smaller ships, known as lighters along to take the stuff to shore. Helicopters are nice to have but not naerly as good as a m1a1 main battle tank. That 120mil main gun is impressive when it goes off. In order to recover the folks from downed
black hawk they had to borrow some armored cars from the itailns. The generals name was Paul Vander Ploog. He's retired now (thank God)
Now Storming Norman that was a generals general. I kinda expected the man to be the same. thank god he wasn't He was well loved by all of his troops.

The funny part is they both retired tampa fla, where i am at..
