Van Daniken is right on about UFO invasion for 2012. Don't believe him? Then check out this report from ABC News: http://abcnews.go.com/International/fresh-report-ufo-chinas-skies/story?id=1... Or, how about this from CBS News about UFOs deactivating nuclear missles: http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2010/09/28/national/main6907702.shtml It's a good thing that Dave Bernsen's reign as SLAS president is comng to an end. What would the club do if he should suddenly disappear in the middle of his presidency? --- On Fri, 10/8/10, Patrick Wiggins <paw@wirelessbeehive.com> wrote: From: Patrick Wiggins <paw@wirelessbeehive.com> Subject: [Utah-astronomy] U-Haul astronomy / Von Daniken To: "utah astronomy utah astronomy listserve" <utah-astronomy@mailman.xmission.com> Date: Friday, October 8, 2010, 5:33 AM I did a program at Bryce Canyon last evening and while en-route to Bryce yesterday I stopped for lunch in Beaver. When I came out of the restaurant I saw this U-Haul truck in the lot: http://users.wirelessbeehive.com/~paw/temp/UHAUL.JPG I checked their website and saw that they really do have a page on astronomy. On the way home this morning I listened to that Coast-To-Coast show that Steve mentioned here recently. The guest was Erich Von Daniken and one of the things he was talking about was 2012. I'm sure you'll all be relieved to hear that he says 23 December 2012 will not bring the end of the world. Rather he said that's when the aliens will return (I'm guessing they'll be coming to deliver a new calendar to the Mayans and to pick up Dave and take him home <g>). patrick BTW, the weather was spectacular at Bryce. Crystal clear skies, no wind, great seeing. Coming home to clouds and rain was a real let down... _______________________________________________ Utah-Astronomy mailing list Utah-Astronomy@mailman.xmission.com http://mailman.xmission.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/utah-astronomy Visit the Photo Gallery: http://www.slas.us/gallery2/main.php Visit the Wiki: http://www.utahastronomy.com
