That New member Smell!!

Gosh, I hate these "new to your website but not new to the web" postings that everyone makes at some time or another, but it appears to be some sort of ice-breaker ritual here, so here goes (needless to say, I've lurked for a bit and finally decided to take the plunge.):

I started lurking after I found the site a couple of months back. What reeled me in was an old Coast to Coast AM episode I was listening to off of my Ipod. I believe it was from last summer, and George Knapp had John Lear on as his guest. John plugged the site right off the bat, and since he let it be known that everything he was discussing could be found here, I swallowed the bait HARD.

It looks to be a good mix of topics and types of posters. i will say I don't agree with 100% with all the topics presented here, but who does, really?

As far as my interests go, I'm very interested in cryptozoology, which ATS doesn't really touch on, but no worries. There's more than enough to keep me interested, from UFOs (I don't know if they're extra-terrestrial or highly classified aircraft from this world, but I'm damn sure there is SOMETHING up there that people are seeing). I'm also highly intrigued by planes we know we have, but nobody has seen, like the Aurora. hell, they're probably ready to put the Aurora out to pasture to be replaced with whatever is next.

Well, that's about all I can come up with for an opening salvo. I look forward to learning something from each and every one of you in the future.....

welcome aboard. some crypto threads can be found here:

I'll let the usual welcome committee handle the links to the T&C and Freshman info.

Welcome to ATS,waynecramp.

Hmmm...

Cryptozoology and Mythical Beasts

Aliens & UFOs

Advanced Aircraft Projects

...the first that came to mind, given the expressed interests and such.


My only other tip would be Bubble Gum in the 7th, he sticks to the rail.


See you on the boards.
