The DSP was, as we now know, responsible for the detection of
Iraqi SCUD missile launches during Operation Desert Storm.
During their investigations, Graham and Reghr have located
computer  print-outs from the time frame of the Iranian UFO
overflight, which show that the DSP definitely detected an
"anomalous object" in Iranian  air space.  Thanks to Lee Graham

MAJIC
Many books have been written about the so called MJ-12 or MAJIC
Project that allegedly concerned the study of UFOs. Necah S.
Furman has written a book called, Sandia National Laboratories,
The Post War Decade, the University of New Mexico Press, 1990.
Furman claims that MAJIC in fact stands for Manhattan
(Engineering District), Armed Forces Special Weapons Project,
JCS, Integrated, Command. A special weapons project normally has
to do with nuclear weapons and implies a highly classified
program. Furthermore it was known as Project Y, Division Z,
Division-Group: Z(Ordnance)-12. The Group Leader was Estel L.
Cheeseman and the organization was formed in September 1947 or
earlier.  It is not known what this group accomplished or its
exact function. Z groups are normally involved in building or
standardizing nuclear weapons components.
This Project Y was apparently at the highest levels because it
required Presidential invitation by AT&T Bell Telephone. Z
Division's Group 12 was established in September 1947.  Its
function and purpose apparently still remains classified. . Can
anyone verify this explanation for the famous MAJIC or MJ-12?
Thanks to Dan Smith. Editors note: We do know that the code name
Project Y or Silverbug was also used as the designated name for a
disc aircraft developed for the Air Force.  It was declassified
last year at Jack Pickett's and my request.
UNIVERSE IS FULL OF WATER
LONDON (AP) - Orbiting high above Earth, Europe's infrared space
observatory has discovered water around stars and planets and in
many other surprising places, raising expectations of life
elsewhere in the universe, the European Space Agency said
Tuesday.  The discovery of water vapor in the atmosphere of
Saturn's largest moon, Titan, has generated the most excitement,
because that moon may duplicate the conditions that led to the
creation of life on Earth, said Roger Bonnet, the agency's
director of science.
MARS FACE WAS ONLY A MASQUERADE
The purported "Face on Mars" that has created such controversy
over last twenty years has done an about face. Joel Carpenter
writes: "The Mars Global Surveyor "Face" images indicate as you
can see, "It's just a hill!" Others claim it looks like a sandal
print or a stuffed chili pepper.  Geologist, Dr.
Bruce Cornet writes: "A second image of the "Face" is now up at
JPL and NASA, and it looks even more like a face than the first
image, which was distorted due to perspective.  The nose is more
obvious, even with what appear to be a pair of nostrils!  And yet
deep erosion is evident.  As I stated below, I think the
proponents of this object being a sculptured face will retreat,
analyze, regroup, and come forward with explanations that fit
their theory, while the detractors will point out those areas
which are more likely natural landforms in origin, and emphasize
how greater resolution did not make it look more like a face, but
less like a face.  I am disappointed that the image looks less
like a sculptured artifact and more like a natural eroded mound,
but on the other hand, all the features that are apparent in the
Viking images appear to be counted for in the new image.  The
angle and possible distortion due to angle elongate the face-like
features, and the face-like proportions evident in Carlotto's
images seem to be gone.  And yet the left eye does indeed appear
to contain an eyeball-like form, and the pupil-like feature is
even more apparent. Overall the new images of the Martian "face"
resemble and seem to confirm previous suggestions that this
object represents the depiction of a sphinx, or the blending of
human-like and lion-like features - still evident even in its
apparent eroded and damaged state. But because the features are
not stylized as on most versions or depictions of Egyptian
sphinxes, I suggest that it represents a more primitive form or
concept of the sphinx - one which simply gives a human
countenance lion-like features without exaggeration. Even the
nose, which now appears to have a pair of nostrils, looks more
like that of a lion nose than a human one. The border around the
"Face" now appears to be a naturally eroded bedform, possibly
created from layering within the mountain.
NASA's Michael Ravine, the advanced project manager at Malin
Space Science Systems which operates Surveyor's camera says,
"The legendary formation appears to be nothing more than an
eroded hills, debris, aprons and plenty of imagination.` It's a
butte, a mesa, a knob. The scientists were right all along in
insisting the face was a natural formation, but I would have been
overjoyed to discover otherwise.  `If we found flying saucers
carved at the base of this thing.  I would be even happier
because that would be cool!" Taking his direction, I looked at
the close up images of the base of the Face and spotted a
circular structure. I then contacted author BJ Wolf who wrote
Eagles Disobey: The Case for Inca City, Mars. He said, "They're
own analysis has revealed a doorway of some kind at the base of
the Face. I liken it to the passage ways often built into ancient
terrestrial monuments like the Sphinx at Giza, and the large
Pyramids. I’m sure we’ll find more suspicious objects"
Editors Note: We're getting mixed signals from NASA. Are they
telling us where to look? NASA claims to be taking a neutral
stand on its images, but they also appear to be playing games
with the Grey pixels. Experts from CNN and other outlets have
noted that NASA provided very poor images for the first big
announcements. The raw image published by NASA contains only
about 75 shades of gray, instead of the requisite 256 shades in
normal photos from the Malin camera imaging system. This means
that two thirds of the data, expressed as shades of gray, are
simply missing. Later versions, appeared more Face-like. I
personally could not understand why a Martian civilization would
build a two mile long Face, that could only be observed from
above.  But, the rest of the Cydonia area is more interesting
than the Face, and "the Inca City" a name employed by NASA is
even more fascinating. An ancient Face on Mars whether its
natural or artificial does little to prove UFOs are in our skies.
The important factor is can we prove there is intelligent life
out there in the universe. The incoming images will help answer
the question about ancient life on Mars. We are just getting
started and there is going to be much more to this story. This is
not the end of the search for intelligent life on Mars, it's just
a beginning.
