WEEKLY BRIEFING A Weekly Summary of Current and Breaking News and Reports 8.7.00 We are still less than one full year into the new millennium (although we all know the next millennium doesn't really start until 2001, right?) and already we have seen many exciting and important developments in many fields that TMP addresses, including astronomy, astrophysics/ cosmology, technology, the environment and unexplained phenomena, among others. The more progress we make it seems, though, the more we realize how little we really know about the world around us and beyond. The news release from Biospherics regarding new evidence that the biology experiments on the Martian Viking landers in 1976 may have found living microbes in those red sands after all (despite NASA's protests to the contrary ever since) is interesting, not only for the obvious implications, but also for the fact that a copy of the release was put out on NASA mailing lists by none other than Ron Baalke, public information spokesman for JPL (Jet Proplusion Laboratory). Some have speculated that NASA is now slowly "allowing" the release of more information concerning extraterrestrial life, according to its own timetable. Time will tell. Links to this report, more extrasolar planets, an update on the Bush/UFO presidential campaign controversy, chemtrail updates and much more (including some previously delayed news stories) below...
