...best stories about Adams come from the mystics and the UFO enthusiasts who worship the mountain. At Madison Spring Huts, an Appalachain Mountain Club hut located on the adjacent Mt. Madison, one of these groups has posted a series of pictures which shows typical flying saucer-like objects hovering over the peak of Adams...
Scientists from NASA'S Ames Research Center reported that the 570-lb., saucer-shaped ship was hit no more than once a day even in the most dense part of the belt, which consists mostly of tiny particles, rather than the chunky rocks that peril science-fiction space travelers. None of the impacts were made by fragments larger than a grain of sand, and none did any detectable damage to the thinly shielded $50 million craft. By carefully planning Pioneer's trajectory, controllers kept the ship at least 4,000,000 miles from those larger (at least seven...

Last week, after spending $375,000 on the Frisbee project, the Navy admitted that it was a flop...
...table at anyone who might offer a contradiction. Charles has to romp about the estate in knickers, but takes some solace in sculpting huge, brooding Olympian figures. Helene is something of a stiff, a quality convincingly conveyed by Miss Jobert, who shuffles through the film in a state of saucer-eyed rigor mortis...
