I just finished his book Saucer , and if they ever made it into a book, it would be a hoot. Has anyone else read it?

The opening scens of "Cast Away" with Tom Hanks is chilling.

You mean the part where the MD-10's #2 mysteriously keeps running after the airplane has hit the water and disintegrated? Must've been a poltergeist.

Maybe the same poltergeist that moved the fan to the front of the inlet.

(Their technical advisor had been doing a teriffic job. Did he suddenly go on vacation?)
