Post #1 February 7, 2009
I begin today taking an event or discovery and elaborating upon it, elucidating upon the information, and in general bringing a specific 'Most Interesting' topic to one place, once or twice every day or two or three.
I feel anyone that devotes time looking into our 'Visitors', their craft - UFO's, and the interactions that have occurred, can only conclude that mankind has been watched by a specie, or species, with advanced technology. And probably for thousands of years. I feel mankind is probably intelligently-designed and descended from these 'Aliens'. And I believe in God.
I have found that a short, poorly written report submitted to Mufon (www.mufom.com, the Mutual UFO Network), appearing briefly under 'UFO Case Files' - 'Last 20 Reports', can contain some very interesting information. All it would need is expansion and clarification in order for it become an addition to our knowledge and understanding of these events.

Here is a report from Brazil in 1954, from 'On This Day'. I have really enjoyed going through this collection of reports. If they were each 3 times longer, that would be even better.
The element Tin was involved in this event. Here's Dr. Johnson's version of the event:
From ‘On This Day - Encounters with Aliens on this Day’
Compiled by Dr. Donald A. Johnson

{my additions} – I did not witness this event.
“Three gray disc{s} performed aerobatics over the city of Campinas, Sao Paulo state, Brazil {70 kilometers NW of Sao Paulo} on this afternoon in 1954 {December 14}. One of the UFOs peeled off, dove low over the roof of a local woman's house, and dropped a liquid substance "like silver rain." Chemical analysis revealed that the solidified material was 90% tin with other alloys. (Source: Jacques Vallee, Confrontations: A Scientist's Search for Alien Contact, p. 49).”
Tin turns out to be a very interesting element. Maybe magnetism is the method of flight of some disc-shaped craft. Tin is increasing in rarity, even sparking warfare, as does 'blood diamonds'. Where this has been reported, in far eastern DR Congo, is a place that has produced no vehicle or entity reports that I know of. It is a place of great suffering over the last 2 decades. But a lack of sighting or interaction reports does not preclude alien involvement.
Who else remembers the rather 'futuristic' newspaper articles that suddenly appeared in the American press in the mid-1970's concerning 'Seabed Mining'? 'Mineral Extraction at the Mid-Atlantic Ridge'? 'Underwater Resource Acquisition' has been a 'Visitor activity' for decades, and maybe these news articles were ordered up. It seemed odd to me at the time.
The Peoples' Republic of China and Indonesia hold the cards for worldwide known deposits of tin. Future posts will look at boron and argon, separately.
Tin – from Wikipedia
“Isotopes
Tin is the element with the greatest number of stable isotopes (ten), which is probably related to the fact that 50 is a "magic number" of protons.
28 additional unstable isotopes are known, including the "doubly magic" tin-100 (100Sn).
“Applications
Tin becomes a superconductor below 3.72 K {-452.974 F}. In fact, tin was one of the first superconductors to be studied; the Meissner effect, one of the characteristic features of superconductors, was first discovered in superconducting tin crystals {see superdiamagnetism}. The niobium-tin compound Nb3Sn is commercially used as wires for superconducting magnets, due to the material's high critical temperature (18 K, {-427.27 F}) and critical magnetic field (25 T). A superconducting magnet weighing only a couple of kilograms {about 4.5 pounds} is capable of producing magnetic fields comparable to a conventional electromagnet weighing tons.

“It is estimated that, at current consumption rates and technologies, the Earth will run out of tin that can be mined in 40 years. However Lester Brown has suggested tin could run out within 20 years based on an extremely conservative extrapolation of 2% growth per year.
“The recovery of tin through secondary production, or recycling of scrap tin, is increasing rapidly. While the United States has neither mined since 1993 nor smelted tin since 1989, it was the largest secondary producer, recycling nearly 14,000 tons in 2006.
“In 2007, the People's Republic of China was the largest producer of tin . . . with 43% of the world's share, followed by Indonesia, with an almost equal share, and Peru at a distant third, reports the USGS {United States Geological Survey}.
“After the discovery of tin in what is now Bisie, North Kivu in the Democratic Republic of Congo in 2002, illegal production has increased there to around 15,000 tons. This is largely fueling the ongoing and recent conflicts there, as well as affecting international markets.”
