Also, they may have started a long time ago. This makes me wonder... if they were more publicized, maybe there would be fewer UFO claims. Since I've never seen these experimental phenomena, I don't know if this would explain any UFO sightings (I haven't seen a UFO either). I suppose this isn't the place to start discussing UFOs? If so, I'm sorry. I do have something else... I agree that the magnetosphere is fascinating, but I'm sure there's more of interest than I know about. What about the magnetosphere interests scientists so much that they study this way? What about it makes three nations want to do a joint experiment? I wonder if this is something I missed or forgot from school... Anyway, maybe I just need to read up. Any suggested reading? Thanks for the interesting postings, Rod drutx!rjs
