This has been one of the biggest gaps between issues since I've been putting this out. In fact, I missed the 6 year anniversary of it as a regular e-mail. Thank you for your patience. Speaking of anniversaries, tomorrow is the 55th anniversary of the Kenneth Arnold "flying saucer" sighting, that is considered by many to be the start of the cultural phenomenon of flying saucers. The sighting itself engendered the use of the phrase, although what was described wasn't saucer-shaped.

Not a bad week. If you're into UFOs, you have the History Channel on Friday running a couple of shows from this year. For cryptozoologists and monster fans, you have the Learning Channel running episode 2 of MONSTER HUNTERS. If you're more into hauntings and such, THE TRAVEL CHANNEL has the 10 spookiest places. I may send another one out this week on audio-only shows.

For things that don't change from week to week, you can now go to http://hometown.aol.com/bufocalvin/BWWMARC.htm. This page is still in development, but it is intended to be a reference to the series, both radio and television. If you get a chance, please take a look at it and let me know what information you would like to see included. I want to keep it in a reference format. If you are someone involved in the production side, I'd appreciate your help with first airdates, etc. In addition, I have set up a similar database at the website for this group, http://groups.yahoo.com/group/bwwma.

This weekly (if I can get back to that) listing will focus on the content of upcoming episodes. That should make this a bit lighter and more focused.

Oh, and I need to stress that the e-mail address used to send this is there primarily to make this more universally legible. I do not check it for e-mail often. If you need to contact me, please use bufocalvin@.... I check that one often. Thanks!
