- Subj: Air Force Paranoia
- From: Joe Holland
- To: Jim Speiser
-
- As a probe to get at the Texarkana area I began calling BBSs near the area.
- This did not produce as yet anything about UFOs, because of the frustratingly
- laborious process of signing onto unlikely boards that you have no information
- about.
- However, it did turn up the information that the Air Force is into the Fido
- network of BBSs, so I thought I would pass that information along, to enhance
- the general paranoia. Numbers so far called: Paris, TX, 80 miles west of the
- UFO site,"The Sand Worm"1(214)7842273, no answer on 3 tries on 2/27,2/27/88.
- Shreveport, LA, 80 miles south of the site: *"Twin City Opus"1(318)8692703,
- busy or carrier only. *"Bayou"1(318)6356767 Invalid number. *"The
- Swamp"1(318)6887078 Laborious 2-call signon, many games listed, hardly any
- messages, nothing relevent found. ***"Dawn Patrol" 1(318)7978310, Sysop Top
- Sergeant Paul Browning (presumably Air Force). Bulletins in this BBS say that
- communications and technical information messages are exchanged or "echoed" to
- 15 stations in the Shreveport area, Fido node 380. I didn't find any echoed
- information, but did not check very far. A bulletin also refers to the
- "squadron BBS" which I assume is the Barksdale AFB BBS below. *"Second to
- None"1(318)7474862, Bossier City LA, not called, same sysop as "Dawn Patrol"
- ****"Peacekeeper"1(318)7468767, Barksdale AFB. I did not call this, because to
- contact the air force about UFOs would require heavy consideration of
- strategy, and policy decisions, that I have not made yet. More messages about
- that later. I have several more Shreveport BBS numbers, but gave up that
- method for the time being. It could be cheaper to make random voice calls. The
- Astral Board, 1(412)8246566, in Pennsylvania, which you have talked to, is
- also in the Fido network, does a lot of exchanging of UFO messages, but this
- is far away from Shreveport. The Astral messages repeat as if they were going
- around and around.
