a CHINESE UFO - MASS SIGHTING it was making a speed of only ten or twelve miles an hour and gradually settling toward the earth. It sailed directly over the public square and, when it reached the north part of town, collided with the tower of Judge Proctor's windmill and went to pieces with a terrific explosion, scattering debris over several acres of ground, wrecking the windmill and water tank and destroying the Judge's flower garden. The pilot of the ship is supposed to have been the only one on board, and while the remains are badly disfigured, enough of the original has been picked up to show that he was not an inhabitant of this world. Papers found on his person - evidently the record of his travels - are written in unknown hieroglyphics, and can not be deciphered. The ship was too badly wrecked to form any conclusion as to its construction or motive power. It was built of an unknown metal, resembling some- what a mixture of aluminium and silver and it must have weighed several tons. The town is full of people today who are viewing the wreck and gathering speci- mens of the strange metal from the debris. The Pilot's funeral will take place at noon tomorrow." The ‘airship’ had been observed for 10 days prior, from the Lakes to the Gulf of Mexico. It was described by other eyewit- nesses as ‘cigar shaped’, and approx 50 feet in length.

Thousands of people witnessed the UFO shining and moving forward in spi- rals for over 10 minutes.

As you know, each year in southern England for the last few years, a variety of geometric shapes have been mysteriously ‘appearing’ in crop fields. Each year there are more and more circles, and each year the circles become more complex. This year the 'circles' have been referred to as ‘insectograms', due to the antennae like fea- tures of many of them. * A fascinating "circle" appeared mid August (1991) in the cornfields of Cambridge (UK). This time the "circle" was in a shape drawn from the fractal geometry of a Mandelbrot Set. Unlike tra- ditional shapes, fractals from the Mandelbrot Set can't be drawn with pencils ALIEN PILOT BURIED IN TEXAS CEMETERY? Dallas Morning News, April 17, 1897. Aurora, Wise Co., Texas. "About 6 o'clock this morning, the early risers of Aurora were astonished at the sud- den appearance of the airship which has been sailing through the country.
