Howdy!! Well.......talk about a COOOOOOL trip this time, there were over 50 astronomers from all OVER THE WORLD there doing experiments....the reason??? "MARS!" :o We got to talk to 2 of them, they explained EVERYTHING about the VLAS in laymans terms "LOL!" AND....there were some AWESOME Boomers near by....this is by FAR THE BEST trip to the VLA'S we've ever had, we go over there every 3 months when they change the configuration of the VLA'S!
Here's the pics!

LOL!! I have watched that movie Contact so many times I could act in it. I believe there is something out there. There was a man here in the 60's who claimed while he was fishing that a UFO picked him and his friend up. I met his son, by accident, and he believes his Father saw something.
Thanks for the links.
