Somebody has been busy digging lots and lots of rabbit holes lately!

We have had the reintroduction of Serpo, a childlike composition of unbelievable scope and even more unbelievably bad writing.

We have been exposed to the so-called "incident at gate 3", an equally unbelievable and downright silly story of intrepid OSI agents going mano a mano with a run-away alien.

We had a flash-in-the-pan mini-furor as Gus Russo's much anticipated article for Rolling Stone turned up in American Chronicle instead. That was quickly followed by all the roaches running for cover as if somebody had suddenly turned on the lights, since the article didn't quite say what those with the rabbit hole shovels expected.

But the biggest rabbit hole of all has been the "California Gizmo" and related sightings. This has drawn an unbelievable amount of attention on many internet sites, including some who should know better. It only goes to further prove that you can fool most of the people most of the time, or at least those involved in UFOlogy.

As the over-analysis done over and over again began to look like an obsession, attention began to wane. Suddenly we had an shot of adrenalin injected into the story by the introduction of "Isaac". This seemed to give the Gizmo story a brand new life! A brand new over-analysis has begun with every outrageous theory possible thrown into the hat for consideration.

We have people seriously talking about alien engineering issues as if this was all common place and they had just completed their studies on the subject at the local community college!

Way to go, guys with the shovels! Good job! This has certainly helped to "move the story forward"! Only one problem: There is a slight aroma of desperation in the air! can you catch a whiff?

For all practical purposes Serpo has taken a back seat to this, the R&D show has faded into obscurity and we are no longer paying any attention to the "TC" group!

Instead we have gone from being fascinated with "dragonfly drones" zipping around in plain sight during daylight hours so people can take wonderfully clear photographs, down to the clear "Klingon"-like writing which must be the equivalent of the "do not step here" writing on our fighting machines.

Problem is, with all of this visibility, there have only been a handful of semi-identifiable individuals who have taken these photographs, and have not been able to take a video at all. None have come forward and said "Hello, my name is Luke Skygazer and I am a UFO watcher. Here are the original photos on my trusty SD card or here are the negatives from my 35mm." Right now everyone responsible for the biggest disclosure of the biggest phenomenon in human history wants to remain hidden and anonymous. (Did I really say Anonymous?) Maybe it'll happen soon. You think?

Well, thank goodness at least "Isaac" has stepped forward, even if it is with another false moniker and a promise to remain hidden at all costs. Why remain hidden? Because he doesn't want to be tracked down and prosecuted for releasing classified pictures and documents which are not marked as such and have a slight ring (sort of like a firehouse bell) of forgery about them.

But hey, he at least has given us pictures of more writing clearly seen as it is white writing on black surfaces, so we can analyze those for a while. Wait, did I say black? The flying ones were white. I wonder if the guys at the paint-shop would be willing to talk! These damn engineers putting these things together are sure tight-lipped!

Maybe it's because they're not too proud of the aesthetic value of their craft? I mean, sheesh, guys, have a little pride! These things look like my Hoover when I completely took it apart one time (looking for my Master Card bill that I vacuumed by mistake) and when I tried to put it all back together it looked like these things. Could these things win the Serpo equivalent of a soap-box derby?

Well, enough for now, I have to go see how this story is moving forward!
