Subject: NIDS Essay On Astronautical UFO Theory


Hello again ya'll, (please reply ONLY to mailto:elfis@ccsi.com)

Just been reading over the many essays caught in the NIDS
contest net and found one on a ufo theory I am unfamiliar with -
tho it sounds a lot like the Straight Line Mystery hypotheses of
past books.

The essay is at:

http://www.anv.net/nids/DuttonAshpole_essay.shtml

It cites the book by Edward Ashpole: 'The UFO Phenomena',
Headline Book Publishing, London, 1996, and says that "Chapter
15, provides illustrations and a detailed account of the
development of the Astronautical Theory."

Is anyone on the List familiar with this hypothesis? Any
comments? It seems like this was the only essay really dealing
with masses of UFO reports in a systematic way as it related to
the NIDS essay contest.
