The STS-75 Tether thing

You know, the more I watch this one, the more I think all those 'UFO's are just weird bits of debris out of focus in a way that makes 'em look round and UFO-ish. 
Yes, all the stuff about how they go behind the tether and all, and that may be so, but there's just too many weird things about this that I don't feel are explained very well. First of all, there's a zillion things flying by, and they all look like that round donut shape with a notch. While it's possible that this tether attracted the attention of about 1,000 UFOs of various sizes, i find that a teench unlikely. 
I'm going to have to put this one in the 'mundane phenomena misconstrued as evidence' category. 

The Andromedan What, now?

There is some really wild stuff in here, which is apparently some notes from the channelling of a being named "Morenae".
I like the part about the Greys cloning us, and the galactic history lesson is quite entertaining in a sort of L. Ron Hubbard sort of way, and what about all the crazy stuff that was supposed to have happened for Hale-Bopp, eh? Oh well, must have been some interference in the Channel that day, huh? ;)

Soviet UFOlogy, some history and context

A few gems of real interest concerning the history of UFOlogy in the Soviet Union in the 70's and 80's, including a brief retelling of the famous case where a 900m-wide UFO prepared a Ukrainian Missle base for launch of its nuclear missles...
Good reading for context as concerning the various secret government UFO research efforts throughout the cold war (as far as we know), and for some eyebrow-raising stories of soviet fighter pilot encounters with mile-long 'black clouds' etc...
