Searching UFO in NASA Archives.
25 11 2007As it became known NASA has agreed to search its archives once again for documents on a 1965 UFO incident in Pennsylvania, a step the space agency fought in federal court. The government has refused to open its files about what, if anything, moved across the sky and crashed in the woods near Kecksburg, Pa., 40 miles southeast of Pittsburgh.
Traffic was tied up in the area as curiosity seekers drove to the area, only to be kept away from the crash site by soldiers.
The Air Force’s explanation for the unidentified flying object: A meteor or meteors.
“They could not find anything,” one Air Force memo stated after a late-night search on Dec. 9, 1965. Several NASA employees also were reported to have been at the scene.
Eyewitnesses said a flatbed truck drove away a large object shaped like an acorn and about the size of a Volkswagon bus. A mock-up based on the descriptions of local residents sits behind the Kecksburg Volunteer Fire Department.
UFO enthusiasts refused to let the matter die and journalist Leslie Kean of New York City sued NASA four years ago for information.
The agency has turned over several stacks of documents which Kean says are not responsive to the request, an argument that U.S. District Judge Emmet Sullivan agreed with.
In March, Sullivan rejected NASA’s request to throw the case out of court, resulting in negotiations that led to the agency promising last week that it will conduct a more comprehensive search.
Kean said that she sued NASA rather than the Army because the space agency a decade ago released some relevant documents on the case.

Robots and Their Sacrifice.
16 11 2007The mother of a Polish man who was tasered and died at Vancouver International Airport last month is uncertain why the RCMP won’t release a video that could help explain what happened that night. Zosia Cisowski is simply looking for answers in Robert Dziekanski’s death. “I don’t understand why they don’t want to give [the video],” said Ms. Cisowski.
The video was shot by Paul Pritchard. Mr. Pritchard says police told him they would return it to him within 48 hours, but that did not happen and he is now suing the RCMP to get it back. By the way, as I see Mr. Pritchard had a good camera with a very good Digital Camera Batteries which let him to shoot all this.
According to court documents, Mr. Pritchard videotaped high-quality footage of “Mr. Dziekanski before the arrival of police, during Mr. Dziekanski’s interaction with police, and after Mr. Dziekanski was apparently unconscious or deceased on the ground.”
Walter Kosteckyj, Ms. Cisowski’s lawyer, has seen the tape and would like for his client to view it. “I would like [Ms. Cisowski] to be able to see it,” said Mr. Kosteckyj, adding that he hoped she could do so before it is publicly released.
Mr. Kosteckyj, who has described the contents of the video as a perfect example of what police officers shouldn’t do when handling a man in distress, believes the time has come for police to release the footage. “I think it was appropriate for them to seize the tape and make sure it wasn’t viewed before they interviewed witnesses,” said Mr. Kosteckyj. “But I believe that most people that were at the scene were already interviewed. I’m fairly convinced that they’ve interviewed everyone who saw what occurred.”
In a prepared statement, Corporal Dale Carr said, “This video evidence is vital to the investigation and its release to the public at this time could clearly compromise the investigators’ goal of conducting a fair and unbiased investigation” because it could influence witnesses if they see it before making a statement.
