Atdtda[4]: 99.16-104-30 Summary

[Bryan Snyder]

hmmmm....

The "[l]ong night ahead"
(102.36) will show a most remarkable storm with colours, electricity
having a strange effect on bullets, and deaf and blind kids "hearing and
seeing frequencies hitherto unaccounted for in the medical science of
the day"

Given that we do have a time period with most things AtD... is this an
allusion to a real occurence??  Too early for Tunguska... DON'T SAY ANYTHING
ABOUT TUNGUSKA!!  NOT THERE YET!!

lol
