One interesting thing to note, is how the Air Traffic Controller guy messed up the pronunciation of “Tic-Tac-Toe” as he tried to explain away the ridiculous coincidence of a Tic-Tac-Toe contrail pattern appearing over the low air-traffic skies of South Florida. He said “Tic-Tac-Dough.” Maybe he has something to hide? Maybe he was just nervous? Or flashing back on the old TV show?

Anyway, here’s the link to the Real Video file. This is a HIGH QUALITY Real Video file, so it’s 7 megs in size... but worth the download. And just like the file I first posted of my original video of the pattern, the top line of the Tic-Tac-toe doesn’t show up well because of the Real Video compression. But trust me, it’s there... and it’s perfect.

FOLLOW THE DOWNLOAD INSTRUCTIONS CAREFULLY!!!!!!!!!!!

Chem11 picked up on something interesting. He noted on another thread that they didn't actully say the word "chemtrails." I listened for that specifically and Chem is right. The closest they came was "chemical warfare" and "trails of chemicals." However, they showed several of Clifford Carnicom's pictures, and the word "chemtrails" was clearly visible several times. So we've reached people subliminally, at least.

Unfortunately I didn't catch the plane spewing and then NOT spewing. I DID catch the plane... and good shots of the morse-code looking smoke. But not the plane in the act of STOPPING the contrail.

Ordinarily I might think it was a sky-writer tesing equipment. But the thing is, it's a mostly cloudy day. And by some freak chance, half of the sky cleared out for long enough to see this display. Actually... now that I think about it, there were some morse-code looking dashes in the sky that looked like they were there from 20 minutes PRIOR to what I saw. So maybe this plane was CLEARING clouds from the sky? Maybe for sat photos?

?

Anyway, I called Diana at Channel 7 to let her know about it. Not because my new video is all that good. But just to give her a heads-up so she doesn't think some kind of mass hysteria is occuring if people call the TV station today because they may have seen what I saw and filmed. I let her know that something unusual DID happen today.

I was wondering. When you worked with them, did you get a sense of what their personal opinions were regarding CT's? In our situation in Houston, the CBS reporter brought one guy with him (cameraman/producer) and they came to my home two times.

The first visit they were interested and somewhat sceptical. The second visit, although neither expressed the opinion that CT's were "real" and a concern, their attitudes and questions semed a bit more pro than con. How did that work for you?

What I would love to see is for everyone to contact their own local FOX affiliate and direct them to the story on the net. Tell them the same thing is going on there. Challenge them to do a story on it too.

I have just a few copies left of the video tape we sent out in 2000 after we did the Chaneel 11 story here. It has the KHOU Houston 4/27/00 broadcast and the news story done in Memphis on their NBC affiliate WMC, 2/27/00 on it. IT is a good thing to show TeeVee types because it does two things. It gives them "permission" to do the story because these other large cities have done it, and it lets them see their own types talk about it and see examples of producing the story. If anyone is interested in getting one of these tapes so you can show it to your local media, please email me.

Again, wonderful job, thanks for hanging in there. I recorded it and will begin to transcribe it so it will be available to print out for those who don't have computers.

Thanks so much! You seem very at ease on the air. An awesome segment...one for the cause I'm e-mailing this clip far and wide!!!

Was it Lulu that suggested we all contact our local FOX affiliates and direct them to the WSVN coverage? Anyway, great idea.

No, I'm an old, old member, just busy at CTTUSA and other stuff regarding this issue for the last 3 years, and don't get much chance to get over here.

C'mon, Big Daddy.. give it up! The story behind the story.. please?

The old 1998 news segment will be uploaded and available for download when I make the post here later tonight. (So will the song, but it's not related to the topic at hand)

I AM typing up the post on my other computer as a word document. I'm going over to finish it up now. I should have it posted later tonight. (U.S. Eastern Time)

In spite of my delivery of WSVN's excellent coverage with Big Daddy they are not interested anymore. I say anymore because Glenn showed interest, his producers did not. (can we say "spike') He brings a lot of humor and great issues to the table so please don't bombard him with negative mail.

I just wanted to update everyone here with what I am doing. BTW, that still leaves the door open for our local FOX affiliate which I'm aiming for next!

I AM finished with the message I'll post later tonight or tomrrow, and some of you will be glad you waited because it's full of goodies.

I'd like to applaud you for your courage to go on the air to help get the story out. That took guts...it's great to see.

The news lady brought out some good points about govt. experiments that have been hushed up for thirty some years. This should wake a few people up. If not... we've got some real dead heads in this country.

Well here’s the post I prepared as a Word document. I tried to make it as short as possible, and I even hesitated to put certain things in the post because it may make some people doubt my credibility or clash with their views. But I figured at least SOME of you will be interested in the more “Esoteric” aspects of how I got where I’m at today, and some of it IS necesary to answer the question about whether or not the Producer believes or already knows for sure that chemtrails are real.

One of the things that slowed the posting of this message is the fact that my computer has been screwing up ever since the day after the segment aired. I’m having a problem with my video capture software. Since I wanted to upload the old 1998 WSVN segment I was in, I wanted the resulting Real Video file to look good. But unfortunately I was never able to resolve the hardware conflict I’m having in my computer, so the Lip Sync is off in this new Real Video file. (Video is delayed a half a second from the audio in the clip)

----------------------------------------------------------------

The woman who came to interview me was the Producer of the segment. A woman named Diana Reed. No one ever sees her on camera on WSVN Channel 7. (Also a camera man came over) She’s one of the behind-the-scenes brainy people who work on the material that ends up on the air.

I got the feeling that she wasn’t so convinced with the contrails seen in middle parts of the country. Such a large number of planes fly from west to east and east to west over central and other parts of the U.S., that seeing several contrails in the sky wasn’t really that unusual to her. (and others... me included) But when she came over my house and saw my video, she was blown away. There is NO WAY to explain those 4 planes creating that pattern over South Florida. We simply DON’T have that many flights going over us on any given day.

So her whole “Plan” that she had when she arrived at my house, was pretty much out the window after she saw the video. She probably thought I had a video of a single contrail or a cross. I think she was under the impression that the entire segment would be on the topic of single contrails and a possible “Sinister” story behind what everyone sees when ONE contrail is in the sky. (Which is ridiculous) An example is the man in the segment who was filming that home video of a single contrail, and he’s saying something like, “I guess nobody else is seeing us being poisoned to death.”

That was pretty funny, and he probably WAS a disturbed individual. (Although disturbed about something very real... just taking it too far)

Another thing is, I’m a UFO buff. I’ve been looking up at the skies for 10 years now. I don’t sit outside a lot and do it, but I DO pay more attention to the sky when walking to and from my car than most OTHER people do. Half of the reason I even BOUGHT my video camera was in the hopes that I could catch a daylight disk on film and launch a “UFO Witness” career in the media because of the media contacts I have. (“Contacts” explained below)

So in the ten years that I’ve been looking at the sky for UFO’s, not only have I never seen a tic-tac-toe formation of contrails, I’ve never even seen a CROSS of contrails here in South Florida.

The Powers That Be:
Here’s where it gets weird. I was on WSVN back in 1998. This appearance concerned a “Visitor” experience that I had back in 1993. Don’t get me wrong; I’m not one of those people who claims to have regular contact with gray-headed, big-eyed aliens. I only had one experience 9 years ago, and I don’t really remember much of it because of how traumatizing it is and because of how the human mind wipes itself clean of certain memories. I only remember enough to know for sure that I left the atmosphere for what ever reasons, and the G-forces left a lasting injury in the bones in the center of my chest. (My chest pops when I lean back far... has been happening since the day after the experience in August 1993)

After this experience, I noticed this certain individual who would pop up every now and then. He looked like a government type and drove a white sedan. I definitely saw him at least 3 times between Summer 1993 and Late 1996. I wasn’t paranoid about the man, I just thought he was some government guy who happened to pop up at certain places that I frequented... simply by coincidence.

In late 1996 I brought my UFO photographs to WSVN’s studio in North Miami Beach. I also gave the woman at the front desk some printed information about my prior “Contact” experience.

(Link to a feature on my UFO Pics) http://www.rense.com/ufo4/slayton.htm

In late 1997 I got a phone call from a Producer named Jeff Burnside at WSVN. He said they were working on a new weekly segment called “The Fraser Files.” (Named after one of the on-camera reporters named Patrick Fraser) Supposedly some other producer at WSVN handed off my UFO pics and info to Jeff. So He asked if I would be willing to appear on camera and talk about my “Contact” experience. I agreed and we planned it for a few days later.

But what I couldn’t understand was, why in the h*ll did they want ME to be in an Alien segment when I only remembered about 10% of my experience? There are PLENTY of people who claim to be taken from their room by aliens quite frequently... and they (supposedly) clearly remember what the alien LOOKED LIKE! (The segment was supposed to be “If aliens are real, what do they look like?”)

A few days later Jeff Burnside showed up at my apartment with a camera man. The car that he and the camera man were driving in was a white sedan like the one I’d seen that Government-looking dude diving over the last few years. Then Jeff Burnside got out of the car, and he WAS the Government-looking dude!!!!!!!!!

(Link to the 1998 segment which aired a couple of months after filming) http://oberon.spaceports.com/~dontalt/ffiles.htm

And by the way; I DON’T “know what aliens look like” as the segment claims. And I also didn’t “see an alien when one came into my room and woke me up.” I was actually sleeping on the living room couch and simply had a “sinking” feeling, saw bright light, and then felt extreme pressure on my chest as if it was being crushed in a vice.

So when Jeff got out of the car on the day he came to interview me, I didn’t say anything to him concerning the past 3 years, like, “Why have you been following me?” I just assumed that the gravity of my contact experience was probably a bit more than I had previously thought... and what MOST people think. It was at that point when I realized that VERY few people probably ever REALLY have contact experiences. After weeding out the people having spiritual DREAM experiences, weeding out the mentally disturbed people, and weeding out the people making up stories for fame and fortune, there’s probably only one in a million true “Physical” contact experiences. (Like Travis Walton in “Fire In The Sky”)

So anyway; now were at the point in the story where it seemed apparent that WSVN was/is following me.
So now we have to ask the question, “Is there anything TO the fact that this ‘Chemtrail Segment’ was planned AFTER Edward filmed the tic-tac-toe contrail?”

Good question. And I don’t know. I also don’t care much. I just go with the flow and let the good times roll. But it DOES raise interesting questions. Questions like, “Does Fox news represent some sort of ‘Good Guy’ aspect of the crooked media around us?”

Or, “Was the tic-tac-toe contrail hoaxed by skywriters, and was Edward used as a tool to make everyone paranoid about the government?”

“Is Edward recognized by Fox news as an individual who is destined to walk through certain life experiences and witness certain things, and because Fox news are the ‘Good Guys’ who follow him, do they use Edward to fight The Powers That Be in a REAL Chemtrail scenario?”

The questions could go on and on. But the point is, there’s more to that segment than mere chance. Sure I was pointed to Diana Reed by a friend from another bb who also reads messages HERE... and he ISN’T part of any conspiracy. But would I have been hooked up with Diana Reed anyway, REGARDLESS of my friend at the other bb? Probably. And by the way; in ANY scenario, I’m certain that this most recent WSVN Producer (Diana Reed) wasn’t “in on anything,” and she probably ISN’T aware of my Contact experience. But I AM sure that the higher-ups at WSVN are still aware of it.

I wish I had more answers. But I don’t. That’s just the story as it is so far, or seems to be. (with a lot left out to conserve space here) And to answer the question in a message above, I think Diana Reed AND the camera man came to my house as open minded skeptics, but LEFT my house as believers in Chemtrails....

As far as the comment about me seeming at ease on the air, that’s NOT because I was on Channel 7 back in 1998. I was also on National TV back in 1987 and 1992 several times for something concerning my mother’s October 1987 landmark court case. (Geraldo, Donahue, etc., etc.)

Deke Slayton? The answer is yes. According to my father, the relation is loose but definitely blood. Something like Deke being a second cousin of my father’s father. The irony is, Deke Slayton was the only one of the original Apollo 7 who DIDN’T make it into space. (Because of heart problems) Wouldn’t it be ironic if a Slayton DID make it into space and most people don’t know about it?

Catnip57 commented about my “Courage,” which brings me to a statement I need to make. And that is, I don’t want to answer any questions about my contact experience or what I think The Visitors do in abduction scenarios. For two reasons; One, it opens a can of worms. (My answers would lead to more questions) And two, it’s not on topic for this bb. Again, I only brought up my contact experience because of how it weaves into the story about a possible unusual reason for WSVN even doing the Chemtrail segment to BEGIN with. (That Diana Reed’s boss new I had the Chemtrail footage and THEN sent down the order to do a Chemtrail segment... leaving Diana in the dark)

But about my courage, it has EVERYthing to do with how my life continued and how my mind functioned in the years after my Visitor experience. In fact, the reasons for the way my mind functions today, goes all the way back to my childhood in the 70’s. It’s a loooooooooooooooong story that I don’t want to get into here.

Also, I forgot to post the link to that song I was producing and had to copyright on one of the days that I was supposed to make that big post above. This isn't related to ANYthing here, but WAS one of the reasons you all had to wait for the big post. The ladies at my place of work love this song to DEATH! So enjoy!

Sorry it's a Real Audio file, but my freebie server won't allow .mp3 file extensions. Doesn't matter really, because the bit rate that I rendered this file at, is up around the 128bit quality of an average mp3 anyway.
