I have decided to start a little e-mail newsletter.  The first version went out a week or so ago and is included here. I will do others as the need arises.  If you want to be included, or excluded, please just send me an e-mail and let me know your preference.  My e-mail, for anyone that doesn't know, is:  mike@micromike.com.

I wish everyone a happy holiday.  May you and yours by blest by the coming new year (the actual beginning of the new millennium.  

Dear Friends,  

Although I have been maintaining a presence on the World Wide Web for a number of years, I have never developed a mail list until now.  It is just not in my nature to socialize, since I am basically a loaner and all of my work has been accomplished while walking or meditating.  Yet so many things are happening, that I need to let the interested parties know of the current situation.  Therefore, this is the first mailing of my new mailing list.  If you do not want to be on this list, just let me know and you will be removed.  If you remain on the list, I will try to keep you informed as circumstance change.

I am no longer at the Roswell museum.  I have no idea why I was asked to leave, but then again, I have no idea why they do anything there.  I think there are many opposing forces at the museum, each with a different set of goals and purposes.  I suspect some of these people must be working for the government or a foreign government, because they seem to be openly and continually doing things that hurt the museum.  I'm not sure that the truth is important there, but that is up to each of you to resolve for yourself.

Being at the museum gave me an opportunity to speak to many people and to hear many diverse viewpoints.  The children were the best at giving me new ideas and I would like to thank all of the people that contributed to the open and honest discussions we had about the life on Mars.  Ideas submitted by the children include the concept that the glassies were working as a colony (much like a spider web on Earth, except on Mars, the spider web itself is alive), that glassies might be like a coral made of glass that lives on the land, and many other variations that made me think.

After thinking about the life on Mars, I have proposed that Mars and Earth acted as a living system, together advancing the evolution of life on Earth.  Mars was a smaller planet that started with less energy.  Therefore it must go through its "life" cycle much quicker than a larger planet that has more energy.  Mars coalesced quicker and became ready for life quicker.  A recent announcement of a new form of life, found in the upper atmosphere of the Earth and not previously known on Earth, is suggested to have come from a comet.  Since I have proposed the infinite cosmos model that predicts that life will be everywhere in the cosmos, this new life is evidence of that proposition.  This would mean that life was seeded on Mars by these comets, probably soon after it cooled enough to allow the life to begin.  Thus, life on Mars is older than life on Earth.  But the life on Mars was "interrupted" by asteroid strikes much more than was the case on Earth..

Mars has two features that make it good at getting material to Earth.  It is a small planet outside the Earth's orbit.  It is also the planet nearest the asteroid belt.  Thus it tends to get hit a lot from these wayward asteroids roaming between Mars and Jupiter.  Mars clearly shows the effects of being struck many times by asteroids.  When these objects strike Mars, they easily impart escape velocity to some material, because of the low gravity and smaller atmospheric pressure on Mars.  Once dislodged from the planet, they tend to move towards Earth, because the sun is the major gravitational event in the solar system and material generally moves inward, towards it.  Thus, much of the material being ejected from Mars must pass Earth's orbit and if the Earth is close enough, the material will be captured by the Earth's gravitational field and be brought on in.  If it is large enough to reach the ground, it is called a meteorite.  NASA estimates that 1000 pounds of Martian material strikes the Earth every year.  Over 4.5 billion years that would be 4.5 trillion pounds of Mars that is currently on the Earth.  If life can make the trip from Mars to Earth in the Frass Meteorite, then it has probably been making the trip the entire life of the two planets.

At first, the Earth was too hot and not ready for life.  But once it became the least bit inhabitable, then any of the Martian creatures that lived through the trip, were free to inhabit this new world.  I would propose that at least some of the life on Earth is a direct descendent of the life on Mars, and that Mars and Earth worked together to produce the advanced life forms still found on Earth.

While at the museum, I gave Bill Weller a sample from the meteorite.  I gave him some glassies (which I retained ownership of), some sand, and some small particles from the meteorite.  He was supposed to do experiments on these and then report them to me.  During my stay at the museum, I was able to catch Bill falsifying some of the experiments.  Thus, at this point, I can't trust anything that he did.  He made some videos of the glassies moving.  But after weeks of trying, I was not able to show the same thing, even using the same colony that he used.  So I don't think they move as fast as he showed.  However, I still have evidence that they move.  One of Bill's experiments was to put a terrestrial fly in with the glassies to see what they did.  He reported that they "stuck" to the fly and appeared to be eating it.  I have done the same experiment and they do stick to the fly over time.  However, I was not able to make them move.  I think they are opportunist and rely on the wind to move them and also rely on other things to move into contact with them.  I clearly have a colony that is now stuck to the fly, but only after the sample was moved around, and the colony had on opportunity to come into contact with the fly. The important thing is that they appear to be "eating" the fly, and thus must have much in common with the chemistry of Earth creatures.

Also, while at the museum, I met a lot of people, many of which promised to help me.  It seems to me that the life of Mars must be one of the most important issues of our time.  It is probably more important than the presidential elections, yet they get far more press than the Frass Meteorite.  To this date, only one person (a new friend in Germany) has ever sent me any money to help my cause.  He sent $200 about two years ago.  Almost all of my web sites are currently down, because I can't afford the $35 a year it takes to register the name.  In addition, I can't afford the $50 a month it takes to have a service host my web sites.  Also, none of the researchers that have promised help have come through.  Even Daryl Adams who promised to establish a scholarship in my son's name, in an effort to repeat my experiments to see if the K-Ar date are correct, has broken his promise.  Once he found out the dates are correct, he dropped his offer of help and began asking about the fusion crust again.    

If you can help keep any of my web sites up, would you please notify my friend Lynn, who, with another friend, has born this burden upon himself for a couple of years.  Also, if you are in a position to do any additional tests concerning the Frass Meteorite, please, please offer your help.  Future history is watching and once you become aware of a problem, you are morally bound to help.   If you think the life of Mars is important, then please help.  Recent photos of Mars continue to show that the planet was once wet and I think the Frass Meteorite proves it was wet as little as 49 million years ago.  Therefore much life must still exist on Mars and I don't know why the government and the scientists will not look at this meteorite which so clearly proves the life of Mars.  If you have promised to help me in any way, I wish you would examine your values and if you feel moved to help, then please do.

I have been asked many times what is the most important lesson to be learned from the Frass Meteorite.  I think the answer is this.  Meteorites are currently hitting the Earth on a random basis.  Some of these hits are good, like the Frass Meteorite since it brings us the life of another world.  But many of these hits are bad, like the one that killed the dinosaurs.  Right now, mankind has as much control over this situation as the duck in the shooting gallery.  We are merely the target and have no control over the situation.  If we let another large asteroid hit our planet and kill all of humanity, it would be my contention that humanity was thus no smarter than the dinosaurs.  We currently have the knowledge to control this situation, yet we make no effort to protect ourselves.  I think we need to make the asteroids the new "enemies" of Earth, so all Earthlings can work together to make this planet better and to help assure the survival of our species.  It would be much better to fight asteroids than to fight each other.

The death of my son is still very much in my mind and this experience has been one of the hardest of my life.  Thank you for all of you who offered to pray for me.  I have thought long and hard about my entire situation and I have decided that the best path for me is to re-enter the academic community, so that maybe at some point, my voice can be heard.  Thus, if you know of any universities that offer a Ph.D. in Philosophy, or more specifically the Philosophy of Science, then please e-mail me with that name.  Thanks again to all that have cared about my situation.  I am currently working on a book about the death of my son, for any persons interested in his life and death.

The next version of this e-mail list will occur when I think I have something else to say that would be important to you.  Let me know your comments, as always. 

Your friend,

Dear Friends,

This is letter number three of my newsletter series.   I have posted several new pages and new pictures.  After having samples from the Frass Meteorite for more than a year, I have finally gotten my samples back from Daryl Adams.  (Well, at least most of them.  The fly creature has been missing from the first and Daryl "forgot" to send back the sample of fusion crust I had taken specifically for him.)  Interesting enough, he sent a bill with the materials indicating he had done $37,000 worth of work.  All I got was 8 negatives taken from an electron microscope.  None of the important things he promised got done.  All of this is now posted at my sites.  At MarsLife, I've posted some pictures of a new worm that I found in the meteorite while I was in Roswell.  The pictures are not very good.  I have found more than one of these creatures in the meteorite and I think they must be important on Mars.

In the same pictures, you will find a fly that is part of an experiment.  While at Roswell, Bill Weller "fed" a fly to the glassies and then photographed them moving.  I haven't been able to capture any quick movement, but the glassies have definitely attached to the fly in a number of places and are apparently "eating" him or getting something from his dead body.

I've moved the metal fragment files over to MarsMeteorite and added some more pictures, including the electron micrograph pictures from Daryl Adams.

At MarsRock, I've made of copy of the "bill" he sent with my samples so you can see our government waste in action.

On the main site, www.micromike.com, I've added a major section to my article on evolution.  Basically, I've started a dialog with another gentleman, who favors creationism.  I have posted his responses and my counter arguments.  If anyone would like to add to this conversation, send it your response to me and I'll post it with the others.

Dr. Sky was kind enough to have me on his radio show in Phoenix during the last week of 2000.   I want to thank him for keeping his word to me.

Let's hope that by the end of this year, everyone on the planet Earth knows of the life of Mars.

Your friend,

The date is November 1, 2000 and I thought I would try to catch everyone up on what is happening with the Frass Meteorite.

First, I am no longer at the museum.  I really don't know what is happening there,  but the truth doesn't seem important to them, only politics.  I was hired at the museum by the director Carol.   Once she was fired, apparently no one else was on my side and they looked for the easiest way to get rid of me, which apparently involved not paying my rent, as per our agreement.  But whatever the cause, I am thankful for my time there, since I did meet lots of interesting people and received several offers of help.  Most of these have not occurred, but I plead with you now, if you offered to help me determine the truth of the Frass Meteorite, then please help.

Many of my web sites are no longer "on the air."  I can't afford the yearly fees.  If anyone wants to support a web site, it costs $35.00 a year. Please contact my friend Lynn at icp@xit.net and he will help you.  To this date, I have had one gentleman in Germany contribute $200 to my cause.  That is the complete extent of the help to this day, excluding the help of a few close friends.

The promise of help from Daryl Adams has gone away like all the other promises that have been made to me.  The death of my son keeps me from doing much web work, but one day I'll post all the letters he sent me with all the promises listed that he made.  He promised to send me the results of his work, one full year ago.  So far, he has not kept any of his promises, including his promise to re test my K-Ar dating.  Once he figured out that the dates were good, apparently he didn't want to continue.  He offered to establish a scholar ship in the name of my son, but that too is another broken promise.

Bill Weller was the one who got me to the museum and I thank him a lot for that help.  Once I arrived, he seemed to do all in his power to hurt me and my cause.  He has falsified the movement studies of the glassies, stolen samples from me, and lied to me about test results and other matters.  Therefore, I can not trust any of his work.  To all of you that saw the movement videos, I apologize because I now think those movements were falsified.  I have watched the glassies for years and have never seen them move, when I thought they did it on their own.  I think that they use the wind (dust devils) on Mars to move about and I still would classify them as a glassy Martian rock fungus, until further work shows different.

I do have one group of graduate students that have agreed to help me determine the nature of the glassies.  If this research provides any new information, you will be the first to know.  Stay tuned to this location, since I have the name paid for longer on this site than my other sites.

Even though my son recently died, his daughter was born October 23, 2000.  Her name is Aspen Ember Moore and I will post a picture as soon as I get one.  Thank you father God, that you would allow Aaron to leave us a child, by which we might remember his short life.

My desire now is to find a graduate school that will take me, so that I can obtain a PhD in Philosophy.  I want to learn how to publish my papers and hopefully get someone to listen.  If any of you know of a situation where I might be accepted, please let me know.

Finally, I'm including a copy of the paper that I wrote to the people of the museum.

To the Volunteers, Employees, Board Members, and other interested parties of the                                               

International UFO Museum and Research Center:

Last Thursday seemed like a normal day.  I awoke early in the morning thinking about my poor dead son.  Even though his death was in April, I still can't get used to the idea that I won't get to talk to my son ever again.  These thoughts mean that I still start each and every day crying over a death that seems so useless and wasteful.  So much of my life was tied up in that boy, that it is very hard to go on, knowing that my son will never experience many of the joys of life.  That is part of the reason that my efforts at bringing Mars life and an infinite cosmos to the people of this world are so important to me.

The only thing that was different last Thursday morning was my air conditioner.  The motor had been getting weaker and weaker the last few days and I decided it was time to tell the landlady about the problem, so  I stopped by before my morning bicycle ride.  I usually ride 5 to 8 miles in the morning and then again in the evening, since I had been working 7 days a week.  It takes an immense amount of energy to deal with the public every single day, and I use the bicycle rides to help me be calm and have the energy necessary to be able to give properly to all those people that might visit the museum each day.

As I got ready to leave, I saw my landlady standing by her front door.  I called for her to wait for me and led my bicycle over to where she was standing.   I talked to her about the A/C and then she started apologizing to me.  She said that she had to post the note on my door but that she knew it wasn't my fault that the rent hadn't been paid yet.  This was the first I knew that my rent had not been paid, since my express agreement with the museum and the apartment complex was that I would have nothing to do with any of the financial arrangements.  I have been unable to think about money for several years and this was most important to me when I made  my agreement with the museum.  I wanted to not think about money so I could devote my entire energy to the patrons of the museum. 

I told the landlady that I would ask about the check when I got to work and about that time, a pickup pulled up and stopped at the front door of the apartments.  The landlady said this was the man who would fix the A/C so I thought I better explain the problem to him, since it mostly occurred when the unit got hot.  As soon as I began to explain the problem he became very mad and told me that I should find another place to live, since I wasn't paying my rent on time.  At that point, I left and went to work, because I have one rule that I always follow:  When someone yells at me, I leave.

When I got to the museum that morning, I told several people about my problem and eventually I was told to go upstairs and get another check to take to the apartment manager.  Later I was given the check and then told that I would have to be responsible for the check from that time on.  I insisted that my agreement with the museum clearly stated that I would not have to think about those things.  I was told that since I had nothing in writing, then I had nothing.  At about this time, the issue went to Glenn who promptly ruled in favor of the bookkeeper.   Glenn came to me and was already very upset.  He began yelling at me and stated that I didn't have an agreement with the museum and that he would be responsible for making any new rules that I might have to follow.  He clearly stated that if I wasn't ready to follow his every command, in defiance of my agreement with the museum, then I should pack my bags and get out of the museum.  He didn't have to ask me twice.

Two things really bothered me about this situation.  First, as I've said before, I don't stick around when people yell at me.  I have worked seven days a week and been at the museum almost every open minute since the day that I arrived.  During that time, I have been in a good mood and have been civil to everyone that I have met.  I have made a point of calling myself micromike, because I want to view each and every person that stands before me as a spirit of the cosmos and as an equal.  That means that I treat them with respect and dignity.  When someone yells at you, that means they don't want to treat you as an equal.  It means that they want to treat you as inferior to himself or herself. It means they want to hold power over you.   I don't feel that I am superior to anyone, nor do I feel that I am inferior to anyone.  Therefore I try to treat each and every person as a valuable individual, and in the end, this is the best advertising that the museum can get.  Except for Alan Treiman and one other geologist friend of his, everyone that left my exhibit felt important and that they had been treated fairly.  I didn't yell at anyone and no one should be yelling at me.  Differences should be worked out in love, not anger.  When truth and reason are used, there is not a need for yelling.

The second thing that really bothered me, was that the museum was not keeping its word to me.  All of human progress relies on the truth.  The entire fabric of human civilization is held together by the threads of truth.  If the truth is not important to us, then we have no chance of survival as a species.  Whether my agreement with the museum is in writing or not shouldn't make a difference to honorable people.  The goals of the museum clearly state that the search for the truth is important.  Is truth important to the museum?  Being told what to do, without recourse, is just another form of slavery.  Surely all aliens and humans alike must understand that the best way to get the most from someone, is not to enslave them, but to make agreements and then to keep those agreements.  If you tell me what I have to do, I will resist at all cost.  If you ask me for help, I can hardly refuse.  Why not deal as honorable people?

When I came to the museum and was asked to stay, I wanted to make my visit to the museum as inexpensive as possible for all concerned.  So I asked that the museum provide me a place to stay (and I even offered to "camp" in the museum at night) and at least $50 a week for food and other expenses.  I knew that I could live on that amount, although it would mean my diet would be fairly boring and I would not get to go out, except for an occasional 99-cent burger.   But the peculiarities of the payroll system have meant that I haven't even gotten the $50 a week that I had been promised, although I never complained.  I also didn't get paid for the week I was gone, although I left a $2500 microscope and a $10,000 display, in agreement with my word.  Thus, the net effect is that I have lived in near poverty this entire period.  I have not been paid for the last pay period and I have no money and little food left.  I have performed my end of the agreement by uplifting the museum seven days a week, while the museum has broken the agreement.

I understand that the museum has the right to change management any time that they want.  All of my agreements were made with Carroll and I can not complain of the treatment I received from Carroll.  She basically kept her word to me and helped me by providing me with a chair and other household needs, since I came to Roswell for a single day, not expecting to stay for weeks.  I had no bed or chair or even pots and pans for the first few weeks and so I just didn't worry about many of the things of life that most people take for granted.  But changing management shouldn't mean changing the word of the museum.  In the end, I think the museum is a very valuable place and definitely has a place in modern society.  The only problem is that any house divided among itself cannot stand.  There are many different "groups" within the museum and apparently there are many different visions of where the museum should go.  Some people are apparently working for their own goals and care little for the museum.  Others are very sincere in their desire to help the museum.  But for the museum to survive, I think you must get a common goal and a common direction.  The museum desperately needs a director that can bring together the diverse elements of the museum. 

I have often been asked what the most important message that is contained within the Frass Meteorite.  I have told others that I think the message is that humanity has problems that are larger than the individuals.  When humans work together, there is nothing that they can't accomplish.  When they fight each other, the energy is essentially wasted.  Right now, the museum is spending most of its energy fighting within itself, and not working together as a unit.  When I first came here, Bill told me that I would never find a group of people that would work together like the crew of the Enterprise, all interested in a common goal.  What I would say to each of you, is that human survival in general, and the survival of the museum in particular, depend on people working together in just such a way.

The essence of love is learning to love those that are different.  What I can't understand, is how many of you could act so much like children when you apparently believe in aliens and believe they are watching us.  I think some of you should feel ashamed at your selfish motives.  In the end, what is the goal of the museum?  Is it to tell the people of the world that there are aliens?  Or is it to help us become a species worthy of being contacted by the aliens?  Don't we have to first learn to love the differences that exist among ourselves, and then learn to love the differences that the aliens would represent?  If the museum represents the best of humanity, then the aliens must be laughing their fannies off while watching us.  Even as adults, we behave as children.  Shouldn't the museum begin the effort of showing the aliens that humanity is worthy of being included in cosmic citizenship?  I think the museum should set the example and learn to work together and love each other, acting for the common good and not for selfish reasons.

I have said that I would make a part of the Frass Meteorite available to the museum on a permanent basis, if the museum desires.  I would propose a license agreement, whereby I will rotate exhibits through the museum on a regular basis.  However, since the museum has already shown that it can't keep its word, then I guess any new agreements between the museum and myself, must be written.  I must be assured that any samples left in the care of the museum are properly handled and secured.  Therefore, any sample left will have to be weighed carefully and assurances given that the sample will remain under lock and key and will be secure while under the care of the museum.  If the board wants a sample exhibit left, then they should appoint someone to represent the museum, so that an agreement can be drawn up.  It seems to me that the Frass Meteorite represents an important step in the recognition of the existence of alien life by the people of the world.  Once alien life is recognized, alien intelligent life is a small step to make.  I think the Frass Meteorite is important in the study of UFOs, and many visitors to the museum have told me they believe the same.

My current plans are to try to make the Goddard days festival that I previously promised to make.  I need transportation for the desk and the meteorite and if anyone is willing to help me, then I would appreciate it.  If I don't hear from the museum, then I hope to go back to Texas next Sunday, after the Goddard days event is over.  The problem is that I don't know if my friends in Texas can come get me or not, since I brought much of my stuff during my recent visit to Texas, as I was trying to make my life here in Roswell a little more livable.  So if the museum wants to arrange for an exhibit of the Frass Meteorite to be left, then someone must contact me.  I have given notice on the apartment and since they asked me to leave, the museum shouldn't have to pay any more payments.  The apartment is paid for this month, but I will try to be out as soon as I can make arrangements to get back to Texas.

Finally, I want to thank the museum for the opportunities that I have been given.  I think my time here was valuable and I'm sorry that I'm no longer wanted, as I feel I'm a good ambassador for the museum.  I tried to answer each person's questions and did what I could to help on a daily basis, like mopping the floor and changing the water bottles.  I had been helping Carroll with the exhibits and I was devising a system on the back wall, where exhibits could be made on the chloroplast boards and then Velcroed to the wall for easy setup and removal.  I think the system could be used to make inexpensive but professionally appearing displays that would be easy to change and store.  Also, I've relocated the sound system from the stage area and put the mixer where it could be used more effectively during speeches and other events.  I would still be glad to give a short class in the operation of the sound system, so that future events could be trouble free.  I'm still glad to help the museum in any way possible since Carroll had asked me to think about things that I would change to make the museum better.  I have lots of ideas, but someone must ask if they want to hear any of them.

If anyone needs to get in touch with me, you can reach me at my e-mail address of mike@micromike.com or you can reach me at my parent's address of 802 Sanders, Amarillo, TX.  79108.  I wish the best for the museum and all of the people involved.  Thank you to all of you that helped me and shame on you, to all the people that tried to hold me back.  I will continue in my efforts to bring the life of Mars and an infinite cosmos to the people of the planet Earth.  

Your friend,
