this apparently involves credible researchers, and it's something that would be pretty bizarre if the NSA is really implicated.. ------- Forwarded Message Date: Fri, 18 Aug 95 18:04:09 -0700 From: Albert Nanomius <nanomius@netcom.com> - ------- Forwarded Message Date: Thu, 17 Aug 1995 17:03:00 -0500 From: "chris (c.) currivan" <currivan@bnr.ca> To: snet-l@world.std.com Subject: NSA and science A post from alt.conspiracy: Francis E.

On July 19, Gerald Ollman and Robert Wayne, two researchers from the University of Maryland geophysics department were detained in Fort Meade, Maryland, apparently by agents of the National Security Agency, whilst taking measurements of the Earth's gravitational field. After 18 hours of questioning, they were released after being instructed not to discuss the incident. Their equipment and results were not returned.
Neither the University nor the NSA has commented on the incident. However, it is believed that Ollman and Wayne were investigating a slight anomaly in the Earth's gravitational field centered around Fort Meade. No reason has been given for their detention.
