RoyJ - 23 Feb 2005 04:56 GMT Sheesh! You guys just don't understand WET weather! :)
That looks like a fairly normal (at least once a summer) heavy rain with a few straight line winds in front of the thunderstorm for Minnesota/ Wisconsin!!!

I'm still amazed by how our ancestors managed to build Stone Henge out of stone ( not far off 5000 years old). They dragged some of the smaller 4 ton blue stones from the Preseli mountains in Wales 240 miles !!! [dont ask me why !].

Personally I've always wondered about why some folks always think that extra-terrestrial intelligence always seems to consist of nothing but little grey traveling proctologists.

Matt Macchiarolo - 26 Feb 2005 03:45 GMT I remember doing a book report and building a paper-and-cardboard model of the B-70 in 4th grade, circa 1979...there was a book on it in the school library. Of course by the time I got to it the B70 program was no longer around.
Never saw an SR-71 in flight but I did see the one (amongst a lot of other really neat stuff) at the American Air Museum at Duxford, UK a couple years ago. The final flight crew had signed all their names on the inside of the forward landing gear door.

Now granted the CIA may not be the best source of information, but their declassified U2 project report notes that Eisenhower was aware of the flights from the beginning [1956] but was against them due to the risks involved.
A similar claim was made by Harry Stine, who would be suspected of knowing...
