Chat Room Set up... Why??? Hell I don't know. LOL

I have created a chat room for the Spacemanbob.com site. It will but officially linked tomorrow but for now here is the link that you can all use.

[edited] Well screw it... LOL I edited the board and it is now listed on the left side.

Added about 88 more Backpacking Pictures

I added some more pictures to the Gallery in the Backpacking section.

I'll be heading to Roswell sometime this year as Satchmo from the Spanky and Satchmo group from Ediblebrain.com to continue our tours to the weird and wacky world of UFO Phenom.

UFO Book...

I should write a book on the UFO phenom and dispell it or at least point out the obvious to the rest of the world. And I'll say it again. Why do we always have to go to old sightings and try to prove they are real when there really isn't enough information to go one way or another. With todays media frenzy...Camera's in phones, Digital Cameras small and large, Video Digital Cams small and large, and regular photography, there still isn't a single solid good image of a UFO or video footage that isn't all but 20 years old or later. Common.... Show Me The Pictures People.

More UFO Statistics

Got this from MUFON, or at least they claim this. Most of all the UFO's are spotted in the following states.
California
Florida
Michigan
Indiana
and New York but they only seem to see UFO's the last 6 months of the year.

UFO Informationd

I have been looking at some reports through the net and it turns out that UFO's like Ghosts, only come out at night. Most of the reports show that if your going to see one would be around 8 or 9pm at night.

Why is it that you have to be outside at night to see these things. I have been up till 2am on many a night when I have my telescope out and I don't see a thing. Hmmm... Maybe I need to drink more beer. That would do it. :)

Spammers Beware

I have now installed the Blacklist for Spammers attempting to post on my site. I now have 613 entries and if any more come in I will add them or update my list to include them as banned, then upload that to the master list. I am not the US Government which takes 10 years to pass anything to stop idiots. I took action after the first two posts.

Muuuuwwwhhhaaaaaaaaaa!!!!!!!

Updating some things..

I have updated my Movable Type to 2.65 and added a few things to slow the Spammers from using the Send To Option from my Blog.

I am also looking into see how to make my site an RSS Feed. If you have a RSS Reader you can have it come to my site at Spacemanbob RSS Feed and it will be able to pull information from my site.

Later on I will see if I can get a validated xml or rss link for you all. The current one that comes up is. Syndicate this site

So I have some things to work on but I am working on them.

UFO Fakers

Not that I like to just point to other websites but this article is pretty good at exposing UFO Fakers.

UFO Report

Just got this in.... Here is the link and the text. It is pretty short.
UFO Report
Story:
There are reports of an unidentified flying object coming out of northeast Indiana.

Three Huntington county police officers claim to have seen a strange object in the sky on the day after Christmas. They say it moved out of the northeastern sky, drifted toward a church steeple and then shot straight back north without a sound.

The sighting is drawing a lot of attention to the small community. An organization that studies UFO's is actually traveling to Huntington to investigate. MUFON investigator Roger Sugden said the officers reported the object was flying so low that they expected it to hit the church steeple.

The Fort Wayne airport says they saw nothing unusual on the day on their radar tape. News 8 will keep you updated.
End:

Ok now I still want to believe but it sure sounds crazy. Three officers see something but none of them have a camera and all they can come up with is some strange object, which the reporter covering it, forgets to get any details on it. What was it a ball of light, weird shaped craft, what..... How long did it take to come from the great white north and shoot straight back up. Was it on Xmas and was it Santa Clause. Now since there is no evidence and no pictures some group MUFON is sending some bozo out to ask the same questions that this reporter supposedly did. What are they going to garner other than the sparse information we have.
I thought Police are trained to take detailed notes on things they see, so when they go to court, their testimony will stand up in court. Nope not these three officers.

Well that's it for now. As these stories come feeding into me I will post them with my comments. I am also going to do some research into MUFON and see what bunch of people are running that organization.

Looks like the Robots have found my site.

I am now getting some spam reply comment posts on my Blogs. These idiots that post these things need to be shot or their hands cut off for doing this type of stuff. It ruins it for a majority of the world out there.

Time to find the MT-Blacklist and install it.

Still Learning about Google Hacks....

I am still plowing through the Google Hacks book. I like it but there are so many things I want to add that I will have to go through it a second time when I make my Google Search Page with some neat links to great sites and applications.

PR Attack on Linux by Microsoft... HaHa

Microsoft launching new PR attack on Linux



The campaign claims to bring "leading companies and third-party analysts" to bear on the truth about Linux versus Windows, a move which will no down generate a whole new round of FUD accusations, fights, and general geekery.

New Color Image from Mars

Here is the first Color Image from the Mar Rover. This is a High Detail image. The original is 1600x1200 so I won't upload that here.

Enjoy.

Ok..... It's cold out here....Brrrrrr

Woke up this morning sweating..... Yes...and NO I am not sick, eventhough it may seem that I am sick in the head sometimes. Turns out the stupid heater was stuck in the on position. Which I turned off really quick. Then I realized how cold it was outside when I opened the window for the cats to go into the backyard. Brrrrr....28 degree's.

But back to work.... As promised I will post some information on UFO stories since no one is updating the Mars Rover Site.

Mars Fever!!!

Not to pop anyones bubbles but get a grip here. I was just reading all the stories about how the rover landed in what they once believed as a lakebed. Now this would be great news if the lake had just dried up a few years ago. We could find all sorts of things in it. But listen.... This lake has probably been dry for millions of years, swept many times by dust storms and by dust devils. I suspect that there is so much dust that we would have to dig pretty far down to find anything that might have been the actual lakebed. Even then who knows if all the radiation has destroyed any left over critters.

I am interested in them finding pre-life in this lakebed but am not going to hold my breath at them just being able to look close up and tell that "Yes, Fungus from a Lakebed" on them. Turn some rocks over and then look if you can. Dig a trench and look in the fresh dirt. Then come to some conclusions.

With all that being said and done. I will update the site from time to time when I can, and if I find something related to the Mars Mission.

p.s. BZORG... do you know lgf site.

Been Searching for some UFO stories

I have been looking for some UFO Stories for you all, but I haven't found any good ones to comment on. Which leaves me to some options. I can go out and post some of these stories and then comment on them with my knowledge of the sky and let you know what I think, or just wait for something to catch my eye. I am more inclined to go out and just find stuff off my searches and comment on them.
Most of the stories I will comment on will not be older than 1970 but on occasion if someone has kept a thread alive I will jump on the story and post some info.

Now back to work.... Damm.... Seems like I didn't have much of a vacation at all. I have been busy working on things since I have gotten back from Los Angeles.

Mar Rover First Image

Here is the first image from the Mars Rover. It is in black and white right now since not all the equipment is turned on. This is just the fast image data that they can get back. The color images are planned to be sent in about 2 days tops.
