“Engraved” Banana Squash Seeds Photographed

"I noticed that the seed itself still had the skin or a membrane around it which makes the seed smooth to the touch. So, in fact, you would have to take off this skin or membrane to actually feel the markings or engravings that are in the seed. ...There was no way that a worm or any insect could do that because it would have eaten through the skin or membrane."

March 28, 2003  Salt Lake City, Utah - As I reported on March 15, 2003, about 500 "engraved" seeds were found inside an otherwise fresh, healthy banana squash by Salt Lake City restaurant owner, Kasim Barakzia, on March 14, at his restaurant, Baba Afghan. Almost every seed had letters or symbols engraved on both sides in what appeared to be different languages. The first symbol that Kasim recognized was the Arabic symbol for Allah.

Kasim has cut open dozens of banana squash every week since he opened his restaurant nine years ago and has never seen anything like these seeds before. Normal squash seeds are smooth and glisten with a thin, transparent membrane.

Part 6 – Corguinho, Brazil: Microscopic Images from Body Pattern on Urandir Oliveira’s Bed Sheet

March 15, 2003  Grass Lake, Michigan - Biophysicist W. C. Levengood has been examining both normal control and body pattern samples I collected from the cotton and polyester woven bed sheet in Urandir Oliveira's home in February. The body pattern was discovered by several people at Oliveira's farm around 8 p.m. on September 15, 2002. (See previous Earthfiles reports about Corguinho, Brazil.)

This week I received photomicrographs from Levengood taken at 40X magnification under his microscope and today we discussed the images shown below with his comments.

Scientist’s Record Sun’s Plasma Interaction with Comet NEAT

"I believe this is the first time we have observed a coronal mass ejection (from the sun) apparently interacting with a comet."

- Gareth Lawrence, Ph.D., Goddard Space Flight Center

Large Angle Spectrometric Coronograph (LASCO) aboard the Solar and Heliospheric Observatory (SOHO) satellite captured this image of the sun's ejection of a large plasma toward the approaching Comet NEAT on February 18, 2003 at 05:54 Universal Time. The head of the comet was estimated to be 100,000 kilometers in diameter (62,150 miles). Image courtesy of NASA/SOHO/JPL.

March 7, 2003  Greenbelt, Maryland - Comet NEAT was named after the "Near-Earth Asteroid Tracking System" based at the Jet Propulsion System in Pasadena, California. NEAT's job is to monitor the solar system for comets and asteroids that might be on a collision course with Earth and warn about size and nearest approach date. The comet was not discovered by the NEAT system until November 6, 2002. When it was first seen, it was extremely faint to even the most sensitive ground-based observatories. But as it moved in its orbit toward the sun, it began to brighten intensely as gas and dust cooked off the comet and deflected sunlight back towards the Earth. The comet brightened so much faster than predicted that some scientists were worried nothing would be left. At its closest to the Earth on December 24, 2002, it was .8 of an Astronomical Unit from our planet, or about 74 million miles.

Censorship By Omission and Comments from MUFON’s John Schuessler

March 3, 2003  Littleton, Colorado - This morning Cherlette LeFevre of the Seattle UFO/Paranormal Group told me that the SUPG board of directors voted to "dis-invite" me from being the long-scheduled evening speaker on the first night of their May 2003 Seattle conference, "because of the controversial nature of the Brazil case." (See Earthfiles February and March 2003 reports about Corguinho, Brazil.) Cherlette emphasized that MUFON members had been e-mailing her group to protest a presentation of the Urandir Oliveira "hoax," as branded by Brazil MUFON Director and publisher of Brazilian UFO Magazine, Ademar Jose Gevaerd, known as A. J.

February 26, 2003  Corguinho, Mato Grosso do Sul, Brazil - The transport process was reversed, according to Urandir Oliveira, when the tall, blond beings decided to return him on the evening of September 18, 2002, after three days on a second floor room where a large wall screen showed Urandir and many other non-human beings images of Earth's alleged future. During our February 10, 2003, interview about the experience, I asked Urandir if he and the others were in the same room all three days. He answered, "Yes, it's like the walls were endless. I walked, but never reached the walls, so it gave the impression that the room was really big. I explained to him that other people have described "infinite" interiors in non-human craft and have been given information that time and space are some how distorted within the craft. But Urandir did not have such knowledge.

Ink Jet Printers That Produce Living Tissues

Ink jet printer modified to contain cells, proteins and other biological molecules, instead of colored inks. The goal is to pinpoint specific biological units in precise X and Y coordinates on plastic sheets to grow tissue, in the same manner that ink jet printers distribute dots of color on paper.

January 25, 2003  Clemson, South Carolina - According to bioengineer, Thomas Boland, at Clemson University in South Carolina, a future is coming in which ink jet printer technology will provide hospitals with full grown organs for transplant into diseased patients - starting from a flat sheet!
