Nothing has been found where the radar data said it might be. Torvald
and Donavan have left the zone replaced by Stephen Thompson out of
Fredricksburg TX who is an expert on Sonic Boom characteristics.

I've been lucky enough to get some media attention to try to motivate
the public to assist here is today's interview on TV. This is the 5 TV
interview I've given since arriving.

We spent the day interviewing more witnesses & compiling and extending
the range of sonic boom farther to the east to include Wills Point, and
southern Lake Tawakanii.

We'll do some field samplings tomorrow east of 19.

Also as a warning. I've heard from a local that the landowner who owns
the land in the north where the upper radar blip is, has gotten very
hostile to all outsiders. The local warned me to tell everyone to stay
off that property. He thinks the landowner may shoot to wound or maim.
So I'd like everyone to take that threat to heart.

At this point, we have two new important observations and think the
strewnfield to be east of 19 now.
At this point, there have been no Z sightings, but the Black Panther
remains a constant threat. 5 dogs were killed. Also, the park rangers
at the state park warned us that a mountain lion has been spotted in the
area.

Some sonic boom activity has been traced back to some individual using
some kind of reactive explosive that detonates when shot by a bullet.
The local police has informed us this has been a bit of a problem for
weeks. Consequently, it really screws up our acoustical survey.

and a mention and big hand to Dirk Ross, David Gonzales, and Marc Fries
for giving us back support.
