Thanks Quix.
That earlier link showing a dark spot passing by the Sun... could be a pixel dropout, or it could be an asteroid.
to Venus in 1967:
“In the mid 1960’s NASA studied the possibility of carrying out a manned flyby of Venus using hardware derived from the Apollo program.”
“alien base photographed by Japanese moon probe?”
No. Just a bunch of unremarkable craters. But hey, about 40 years ago, in one of those cool men’s adventure pulps (”True” or “Argosy” I’m pretty sure) a surface photo of the lunar far side, taken by a Soviet satellite (first to get there) showed what was described as three or four obelisks from a straight-above perspective. Pretty sure they weren’t. The movie “2001” came out right about then, whadda coincidence.

“Stanley Meyer died at the age of 57 after eating at a restaurant on 21 March 1998. An autopsy report by Franklin County coroner William R. Adrion showed the cause of death to be a cerebral aneurysm.”
Here’s an article about him from 1991:

A search on “brown’s gas” will turn up more about the mentioned gas which supposedly melts steel instantly and comes from ordinary water.

“Water fuelled cars have been mentioned in urban legends since the 1930s. The story is usually that a lone inventor invents an engine that runs on water but the idea is suppressed by either Big Oil or automakers in order to safeguard their profits. Claims for water fuelled power sources are often used to fraudulently extract money from gullible investors.”
and of course, in that category, we still have John Kanzius:

re: The Philadelphia Experiment — oddly enough, despite the alleged unexpected result, the second test wasn’t conducted someplace a little more private, nor have any members of the crew ever come forward and described this twice in a lifetime experience.
Anatomy of a Hoax: The Philadelphia Experiment 50 Years Later

From the Journal of Scientific Exploration, Volume 8, Number 1, Spring, 1994 http://www.scientificexploration.org/jse/abstracts/v8n1a2.php
[snip] We were trying to make our ships invisible to magnetic torpedoes, by de-Gaussing them. We had regular radar and also a “micro-radar” of lower frequency. They could detect submarines as soon as they raised their periscopes or came up for air. We could pick them up in the dark or in fog as far as one or two miles away. That’s when the Germans began to lose their U-boats... The Eldridge and the Engstrom were in the harbor together,” he answered. “In fact four ships were outfitted at the same time: the 48, 49, 50 and the Eldridge, in June and July of 1943. The Navy used to de-Gauss all the ships in dry dock, even the merchant ships, otherwise the vessels acted as bar magnets which attracted the magnetic torpedoes.” [end]
Ahhhh welll . . . I guess someone has to have the duty to take the fun out of some fantastical stories!
LOL.
Thanks thanks.
