Hi. I am the Media Generalist at Londonderry High School in Londonderry, NH. I would appreciate it if you could pass this letter onto any teachers in your district or school that you think might respond to our students. I am sorry if anyone has a problem with my posting this type of letter here I apologize. One can only monitor just so many conferences and I look at LMNET and Kidsphere to find projects to pass onto my teachers and to also post projects. Thanks. Lynne Jackson. lynne@leotech.mv.com In July of 1947, in Roswell, New Mexico, an incident occured. A farmer reported something had crashed on his land, leaving unusual debris. The US Air Force investigated, and proclaimed it a UFO, an extraterrestrial. A short time later, they changed their story, declaring that the crash had been a weather balloon. Yet, security remained tight at the army air field. Now, years later, over 350 people have testified that something from space did land in Roswell, and that life forms were recovered and kept alive. Since the freedom of Information Act was passed, several attempts to get the materials ralated to Roswell from various government agencies have resulted in delays, substitutions and black out documents. The only way to get the materials released complete and intact is to have President Clinton sign an executive order stating such. OMNI Magazine, which has followed the case closely, has published a petition requesting that the president sign such an order. If there is nothing there but a weather balloon, so be it, but if there is more, we all deserve to know. The students of Londonderry High School's Science Fiction and Fantasy classes (Londonderry, New Hampshire) have embraced the OMNI cause, and are attempting to collect as many petitions as possible, from schools all over America and the world. They will then be sent as a group to OMNI and subsequently to congress and the president. Why send them en masse? The students believe that by sending an extraordinary number of petitions, gathered in a grassroots effort by the young people of America, they will send a message that this generation will be proactive in seeing that government serves the people. What can you do? Locate the October issue of OMNI and read the short article on Roswell. Make copies of the petition located on the facing page and gather as many signed petitions as you can. Then send them to: PROJECT STAAR LITE STEPHEN JUSTER LONDONDERRY HIGH SCHOOL 295 MAMMOTH RD. LONDONDERRY, NH 03053 Project Staar Lite is "Students Taking Action About Roswell-Londonderry Information Tallying Effort." We need to recieve the petitions by November 20th, so that we can get them to OMNI by their deadline. If you have any questions or concerns, please call the school at 1-603-432-6941. Ask for Steven Juster. We can fax you a copy of the petition if you do not recieve OMNI at your school. We are gathering petitions and interests, but we can only do so much. Many schools, uniting on this project, could make an impact and perhaps change the world. Join us. If you would like to ask any questions you can call Steven (our SF teacher) or e-mail me Lynne Jackson - lynne@leotech.mv.com. Thanks so much! The students are really excited about this project. * OLX 2.1 TD * Chicken heads are the chief food of captive alligators. * Origin: NETIS Public Access Internet (603)432-2517 (1:132/189)
