Hmmm it sounds like this expose' was indeed written in the depth of
DREAMLAND itself. Now you think I am going to start a rant entirely
unrelated to this newsgroup. Well not quite... 
 
I have a habit of reading obscure and kind of way-out publications.
Every-once-in-awhile I come upon ads in such publications for weird
devices that purport to be things like UFO detectors that will hopefully
allow one to meet the "rare blond aliens" and other outlandish claims
I >secretly< know eminate from the Planet Gullible. Does anyone know 
what is >really< in these devices? I know lots of people will guess
(maybe correctly) that they are just circuits that blink lights or
go on at random or somesuch.  But I want to know if anyone has ever
acquired any of these devices (preferably at a flea market, as in the
mags the cost is often as outlandish as the claims) and looked inside,
and is it interesting ? Is it worth building one just for fun?  There
are all sorts of other techno-magic devices that people claim exist.
has anyone seen any of the plans for these devices? Built any? Played
with them?

I remember many many years ago something in one of those Popular
Electronics magazines about something that detected small changes
in electric fields in the local area. Wish I knew where it was now
so I could look at the circuit. I have also heard a lot about Low
Frequency RF and Earthquakes, luckily I have an address to write for
that. But again, has anyone built any such things and played with
them. I also remember that there was a big noise at some point about
RF emissions of severe thunderstorms that might generate tornados.
This seemed rather more well established. Does anyone know where
to get curcuits for those sorts of devices? Well I have gone on
long enuff...Any advice would be appreciated, either by article if
there is wide enuff interest or via email.
