| Personal background |
|---|
| I’m a retired Air Force Meteorological Equipment Repairman. I was involved in weather modification research at Hanscom Field, participating in both the airborne and ground segments of those experiments in the 60’s. Since my retirement I have been involved in the retail side of the sporting firearms trade including trade show presentations. My hobbies include photography, firearm collecting & shooting of course, R/C models in scale, electric & gas, sailplane, and steam & sailing boats. Since my earliest years I have been interested in things that fly wither they were birds or machines. I have built and flown models since the age of three. I cannot help but watch every bird or plane that passes over. I have been interested in extraterrestrial life since the 1950’s when I watched and photographed a craft I could not identify travel over my home in southwestern Pennsylvania. A few years later a number of coworkers and I witnessed a rather dramatic UFO sighting in northern Ohio. Later I and another person witnessed another very dramatic occurrence near Claysville, Pennsylvania. Later, a number of AFCRL scientists and myself witnessed a very perplexing happening in northern California while in route to a restraint one night. I suppose these multiple sightings makes me “an unreliable witness†but so be it. |
| Thoughts about SETI and SETI@home |
|---|
| Given the numbers of stars in the sky it would be absurd to doubt the existence of extraterrestrial life in some form or another. Sadly, at the present rate of our exploration we will probably need a few hundred years to discover and make contact ourselves. The benefits could be as great as the dangers. Who can say what wonders lay ahead, or what dangers. That is what makes life exciting. Without the unknown we would wither and die as a race. We need the rush to stay alive. We’ve been transmitting inadvertedly for over a hundred years already and as far as we know nothing has officially acknowledged us. I run SETI@home to do something, in my however small way to further the knowledge of what is to come. |
