Originally, I was planning on discussing the UFO Survey statistics for 2001 that Chris Rutkowski and Geoff Dittman worked so hard on, and to congratulate them on doing a fine job of sifting through all the reports and making sense out of the miles of data that they've compiled. But something else caught my eye and I would be doing everyone an injustice if I simply allowed it to slide by, un-noticed.

Mike Woods of the List, this program and senior news writer for City TV here in Toronto, posted something to the List about a guest that was on City's Breakfast Television program on Thursday, February 28.

The Amazing Kreskin graced the set down on Queen Street and he also was somewhat impressed with the data that Chris Rutkowski had gleaned about UFO sightings for 2001. He mentioned the fact that sightings of UFOs in Canada were up 42% in 2001, and spoke about how he was a consultant of some nature on two shows of a one week documentary that was done about UFO's down in the U.S.

But then the Amazing Kreskin did what the atomic bomb boys of the 509th Bombardment group would call "dropping the BIG one." He said, and I quote:

"You have it on this show here, before the press conference in the States..... You're going to have the largest UFO sighting in the past half-century that will take place in either May or June....."

Now, for a mentalist to go out on a limb like that is dangerous, but the Amazing Kreskin wasn't simply moving out on this limb, he pulled out a chain saw and started cutting away at it when he added, "It's going to take place in the desert in Nevada and you will have more people witnessing it than recorded in a century."

Now there you have it, he told us when and he told us where. Case closed… Momma stick a fork in me because I'm all done… right? Wrong….. Like the Ginsu knives… there's even more. Kreskin is going to put his money where his mouth is because he added,

"When I get back to the States I'm going to put up a five figure amount of money up. If I fail, it goes to charity..... And I don't fly in UFOs....."

Mr. Kreskin, or is it simply Kreskin? Either way, I also don't fly in UFOs… nor do I believe that anyone can predict where and when sightings will occur, same as i don't believe that we can call them down to us by shining a flashlight at them or that we can hitch rides on them or sneak aboard one.

So, on June 30th I will be looking for notice of my five-figure check. You can email me, furry@virtuallystrange.net and tell me where I can pick it up because that's just… my take on it!
