Dreaded Swamp Gas

by Constantine

Here's a trivia tidbit...

Did you know that Gerald Ford, who past away this week on Tuesday at the age of 93, was remembered for damage control after Nixon's impeachment of course-- but was also famous for being in favor of full disclosure on the topic of UFO's?

As a U. S. Congressman in 1966, Ford stuck his neck out and made the following statement after the U. S. Air Force declared the Michigan UFO Wave of 1966 could be explained as "swamp gas." "In the firm belief that the American public deserves a better explanation than that thus far given by the Air Force, I strongly recommend that there be a committee investigation of the UFO phenomena. I think we owe it to the people to establish credibility regarding UFOs, and to produce the greatest possible enlightenment of the subject." [source]

Speaking of "swamp gas" I think I've encountered some of that myself this holiday. Senile Aunt Sue's curiously blue sugar cookies, beer by the bucket-full, and all that ham and scallop potatoes. Was enough "swamp gas" to propel a person up into the night sky and around the neighborhood in a glowing ball of green luminescent fog.

In case you need a visual...it would look a little bit like this. ------->
