Ruth Krock Anderson is a mathematician and computing pioneer who has seen a lot in her 102 years. Born in Boston in 1918, she was interested in math from an early age and earned a mathematics degree at Boston Teachers College, now part of the University of Massachusetts. Soon thereafter, Anderson was asked to join the MIT Radiation Laboratory, which made key contributions to the development of microwave radar technology during the second world war. “Th
In 1977, the FBI declassified its UFO files under the terms of the Freedom of Information Act. It was something that led to close to 2,000 pages of UFO-themed material being placed into the public domain. Since then, even more UFO-connected material has been made available by the FBI for one and all to see – such as files on cattle mutilations, the so-called Conatctees (George Adamski, George Van Tassel and so on), and UFO research groups. One of the first pages of material the FBI released back in 1977 was a letter sent, in the summer of 1947, to the FBI by a scientist. His name: Edwin M. Bailey. He was also a man who had some deep worries about the suddenly growing UFO phenomenon. Probably because of Bailey’s standing, the FBI didn’t waste any time in contacting him for a chat. J. Edgar Hoover’s agents were keen to see what Bailey had to say. After all, this was the dawning of the “Flying Saucer” age and just about everyone was fascinated by what was afoot.

Kirby. Like its predecessor, the “new Manhattan Project” is a complex and highly secretive military science project.
In fact, some of the scientists who worked on the original atomic weapon Manhattan Project have compared the power of the atomic bomb to that of storms. Many of the project’s most important scientists went on to carry out work in atmospheric science and weather modification.
The new namesake of one of Gainesville’s oldest schools
A new, modern sign was erected last fall outside of one of Gainesville’s oldest public schools, replacing another sign bearing the name of a Confederate brigadier general. The former J. J. Finley Elementary School, which served White students during segregation, is now named for a third generation Gainesvillian, Carolyn Beatrice Parker, whose paternal grandmother was enslaved.
Carolyn Beatrice Parker was the granddaughter of Eliza Caro, who moved to Gainesville sometime after she was emancipated in 1865. Parker’s niece and namesake, Leslie Carolyn (Cosby) Edwards, said Caro was among the founding members of Mt. Pleasant United Methodist Church, which was established in 1867. Edwards, a retired professor of literature, communication and cultural studies at SUNY Empire State College, remembers her aunt as a determined woman. The eldest of seven children born to Dr. Julius A. Parker and Delia M. Parker, Carolyn Parker playe
