Specks of Intelligence
For more than three decades, researchers have been puzzled by the appearance of unidentified micro objects (UMO's), small spots and smears on photocopies. Although most scientists scoff at the notion, a minor battle is brewing between the group that believes UMO's are caused by extraterrestrial visitors and supporters of the theory that UMO's are the work of intraterrestrial (so called “soil-dwelling”) aliens. Supporters of both theories plan to petition the U.S. Senate for increased research funding levels for the US Air Force and the US Agriculture Department's Soil Erosion Service.
