Subject: Roswell: the second sighting - available now
ROSWELL, N.M (DP) - Rumors swirled around Roswell this morning after
more unusual sightings last night; first of access being denied to
investigators, and then of a second, new incident.

Since initial reports of this Roswell incident started circulating on
the internet nearly three weeks ago, interest has focused mainly on
the bits of technology and wreckage recovered at the sight. However,
recent attempts by outsiders to examine or recover this data had left
them frustrated.

"I couldn't get in to access it. It's like they're hiding something."
said a concerned citizen. "There was this big hubbub, and now they seem
to have been locking everybody out for the past couple of days."

Contacts at Red Hat, Inc., a central repository of data for this
sighting, were mysteriously silent when questioned yesterday.

Recent reports, however, show even more odd events. "I went back to the
same place I'd seen it before," said one distressed townsperson. "What
I'd seen before was gone - there was SOMETHING else out there. It looked
more complete; while some of the stuff that I saw last week was completely
smashed and unusable, this new evidence is almost recognizable."

Other Roswell enthusiasts confirmed. "What's there now is definitely
different; it seems to be a completely new reworking of the technology.
I'd guess nearly a third of it appears to have changed in one way or
another."

Experts caution against unsafe deployment of technology gained from
these incidents, though. "I wouldn't put anything based on this
into production." said one scientist. "I mean, this stuff just fell
out of the sky! Any computer you install this on could start being
used by THEM to construct sophisticated mind-control devices. Or, more
likely, it would just catch fire and melt down. However, if that
does happen, we'd want to know about it." The researcher continued,
offering that

 http://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/

is the best place to record problems encountered in the use of this
new technology.
