The Ramey memo re-emerges, but a caveat….,
Isaac Koi has provided a venue, at AboveTopSecret.com, where
Roswell/Ramey buffs can see various scans of the Ramey memo (provided to me by Jose Caravaca):
The purpose is to allow others to try their hand(s) at
decipherment or, at least, offer suggestions of interpretation of its content.
But let me put this forward…
A New Yorker piece by Adam Gopnik [11/30/15, Spooked,
Page 84 ff.] about science and its fallibilities or waywardness has a paragraph
(Page 86) about Vulcan, the oft promoted planet allegedly lying between Mercury
and the Sun:
“As Thomas Levenson explains in “The Hunt for Vulcan “
(Random House), nineteenth- century astronomers were so in love with the idea
of the missing planet that many of them, bewitched by random shadows, insisted
they had seen it [Vulcan] through their telescopes. Only in 1915, when Einstein
emerged with a new interpretation of the perturbations (something to do with
gravity as space-time curvature), could astronomers stop ‘seeing’ what wasn’t
there.”
