THC> On 28 Oct 02, concerning _Rods on CNN_, Jack Sargeant said to Troy H.
 THC> Cheek in UFO:

 JS>> I was going to write about that, but I was trying to find out
 JS>> where the sighting was.

 THC> Airport at Albany, NY, I believe.  And if rumors are true, the FBI has
 THC> confiscated the original tape.

They are much bolder these days. ...And they have new, broadened powers
recently given them by Bush. They can just about do anything they want.

 JS>> This is thee rendition I come up with from memory, and really
 JS>> does resemble what I glimpsed on tv. The "rod" looks like a rod
 JS>> more than it does a "streak" on the film. How does
this compare to
 JS>> what you saw on Art Bell?
 JS>>
 JS>>
 JS>>                     ÍÍÍÍÍØÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍØÍÍÍÍÍÍ

 THC> I think you're using some ASCII characters that render different in my
 THC> reader, but I assume you mean long, thin, with "legs" at
1/4th the length
 THC> from each end.  That's pretty much what I saw on the clip I was finally
 THC> able to download from WXXA-TV FOX23.

We are in close agreement.

 THC> The clip is about 1.5MB and I can email it to you if you like.

Nah! That we agree on what we saw, I'm satisfied.

 THC> The clip shows a zoom and slow-motion shot of the object, which seems to
 THC> show it going through or even behind a cloud, which means it's at least
 THC> as
 THC> far away as the plane, meaning it's at least as big as the plane.

 JS>> Why CNN decided to NOT show the clip again is up for
 JS>> speculation.


 THC> Probably realized that they were covering UFO news and were afraid the
 THC> FCC
 THC> would pull their license because of it (he says half kidding).

The shame of it is, the breaking news about the sniper capture came in
shortly after the first report. Although they said they would present it
later, they never did.

Best regards,

Jack
