...Thank you for the coverage of my hypothesis concerning the possibility of a space probe from the star Epsilon Boötis [April 9]. It is not claimed that any scientific evidence exists for the presence of such a space probe, nor that my recent paper published by the British Interplanetary Society is a work of science...
...sources, who asked to remain unidentified, made their statements hours after Ronald L. Zeigler, White House press secretary, rebutted claims that Nixon had delayed ordering his personal Watergate probe several months after he knew one was needed...
Encouraged by this somewhat flimsy evidence, Lunan plotted more radio echoes, including those reported by a French scientific expedition that went to Indochina in 1929 to observe an eclipse. These graphs not only showed the same constellation, but also indicated the number of planets around the probe's parent star. In fact, says Lunan, "the logical sequence" of one diagram is "so clear it can be represented in standard, even colloquial English." Unsatisfied with a simple translation, Lunan went on to more daring conclusions. He claims, for instance, that the constellation's brightest star, Arcturus, was slightly...
...London meeting, a leading British computer expert, Anthony Lawton, announced that Lunan's theory would soon be put to the test. For the next year, Lawton said, he will send off blip-like radio signals into space at regular 30-second intervals in hopes of stirring the putative probe into another response. As a precaution, however, he is keeping his operational frequency a highly guarded secret. Otherwise, he says, "someone might hoax the experiment right...
...design probe comes on the heels of complaints by community members that the orientation of the memorial complex, which was designed by Pei to look out over the Charles, ignores the interests of the nearby neighborhoods and business districts...
