He sent me an email in reply to one of my posts and said, "Yep! I'm still a
Christian fundie though so don't get too ecstatic." which makes me suspect
it's a troll even more.

He's sort of a "well-rounded" fuck-up eh?

I doubt it as well.  From what I've read he's disappeared several times only
to pop up once again.

Yeah folks, I'm having a blast. And wait till you see some of the
stuff I have in development. I'm hoping to cause a certain kook to
have a 5 alarm meltdown in the not two distant future. But why should
I have all the fun? Post any good kook related material you have there
so others can access it or refer to it. I know some of you have some
great material. Robert ASF, I know you have mounds of great stuff like
the Fun with Frager FAQ and News Group Flora and Fauna FAQ and etc.

Become part of the Kook-Watch.net Worldwide Cabal Inc. and really
ratchet up the paranoia of your favorite kooks.

I have just finished and uploaded a new page to
Kook-Watch.net. It's an Ed Wollmann "tribute" page. I call
it the Edlish to English Dictionary. Those of you familiar
with Ed may find it interesting. It is at:

Good deal!  Sorry for not replying earlier.  I've been down with a really

Subject: Stirring up the kooks!

 
You might have noticed a picture uploaded to alt.binaries.ufo.files with the
subject of "Strange objects sighted west of Lawton, Oklahoma  3/11/02"

We'll, the strange objects are my optical mouse and the LEDs on my computer
and keyboard. :-)

No one seemed to bite in the newsgroups, but I've got them going in a Yahoo
group called "The Hickman Report" at
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/TheHickmanReport/

I've been getting comments like "This is an extraordinary photo" and "I have
never seen anything quite like your photo, it is remarkable"  Check it out
if you want a few laughs!

	LED?

	Your so mean... Now since this is your joke, may i make a
suggestion? Forget you ever made the photo. Let it circle around the ufo
circuit for a time. See just how many people buy into it. If you are lucky
it will become a cause for them to prove it is true. People like Twonky
will jump on the band wagon etc and soon they will be yelling that of
course it is a real UFO...

That's the plan.  :-)  See how far it goes and see if they even take the
time to try and determine that it's a fake.

I predict that if you don't burst the bubble, it'll wind up
on other web sites and maybe even a book cover eventually.

That should be good. I predict a distinct lack of skepticism
in them.

I can't wait for Maccabee's analysis.  This ought to test his 
skills a bit...

Meanwhile, not a word to anyone else!  Like Mike said, this is 
good enough to make a book jacket some day!

OK, I'll open the bidding by claiming 

1) that the 
images we see have been "stretched" y camera motion
lower left toward upper right like this illustrated by the SLOPE of the
*****'s
                                           *
                             *       
               * 
*

Draw a line through the ***'s and that line is approximately the slope of
the motion of
the camera

2) most of the shutter time was spent creating the brighter images
(brighter dots) at the
lower left of each little streak.   

3) the red image was broadened by the image smear

(Note: the blurring or smear assumed to be due to camera motion could also
be a 
result of object motion, or both, but it object motion it was moving VERY
fast.    I suspect
it was camera motion, unless the witness claims to have used a tripod)

I presume the original is a digital photo ....   or did he get it developed
at a 1 hour photo place?
