VL--IV "Not exactly a UFO"....

[Mark Kohut]

"The two waves would amplify one another 
and produce a loud "beat" like piano tuners use."

These "Not Exactly Aliens" are driven away in the (wave-filled?) aether by B flat???

Love it whatever it means.....

it's I before E....

but if you were playing a B flat instrument like trumpet, in the key
of [local] C, then B flat would be your tonic...

I suppose dragging in C as the lightspeed constant would be excessive

odd speculations on B flat here:
