My application to challenge for the JREF award has been sent to the JREF organization by way of certified mail on Tuesday July 13, 2004 1:18pm.

The JREF has been gracious and kind enough to allow me to submit my application and I thank James Randi and his Foundation for allowing me to submit my application.

THANK YOU!

If my application is accepted I look forward to performing my experimernts so that the public will have no doubt in their mind this is truly an alien rock gemstone.

The JREF has required I successfully perform only one of the experiments I claimed on my website to win the prize. I plan to perform the insect experiment since I perform this experiment routinely. The insect experiment should provide more than sufficient evidence to prove that the strange and unusual radiation I claim exist do exist. As a special effort for the public I would like to perform the ice melting experiment.

I have delayed sending in my application up to now because I wanted to conduct final experiments to see if I was ready to perform these experiments. The public should know, I am ready to perform the insect and the ice melting experiment. I have performed each of these experiments successfully just prior to sending my application. I am excited about the results of these experiments. Keep in mind there are many other experiments I can perform to test for the presence of this strange and unusual radiation. In my mind, a successful ice melting experiment would allow the public to accept this alien rock gemstone as not being from this earth.

Even if this prize is won by me, the public is still left with the question - WHERE DID IT COME FROM AND HOW DID IT GET HERE.

I cannot even began to answer these questions. I am not a scientist or have any kind of expertise in any physical, chemical or geological study. I must leave it up to the public to seek the answers to these questions. I can say with a lot of confidence, the activity emitted from this alien rock gemstone defy the laws of physics as we know it. It is my hope that some day these questions will be resolved in some manner perhaps not in my life time.

If I have upset any one by typing in all caps I do apologize. My eye sight is not so great and I can see caps a lot easier. Again I apologize.

I will keep the public informed about the results of this award challenge and I will do every thing possible to make this alien rock gemstone available for public viewing. Please monitor my website for any public viewing announcements.

I thank the public for their interest in this alien rock gemstone. I thank the many government and private scientists who have assisted me in trying to understand this radiation. More specifically, I would like to thank Mr. Albert Juhasz, from NASA for all of his efforts and I hope he realizes the assistance he gave me has been invaluable in helping me to understand this radiation. The government needs more scientists of his caliber.

No problem. Just understand that it is a common tactic seen from THOSE WHO REALLY HAVE NOTHINGBUTCRAZYTHINGSTOWRITEYOUFOOLS!

At least you did not mix in colors 'n stuff like this "Grandaddy of Wierdness"--TimeCube

Good luck.

Granted, methinks most do not expect you to "win"--just experience--however, if you do not just realize their is no dishonor in being wrong. In fact, many MAKE CLAIMSHA!FOOLS! but few have the guts to test them.

Assuming this isn't some kind of joke, I wish you all the best with it.

But for your own sake, I wouldn't get your hopes raised too high.

Good, what is his caliber? I have a number of suppository molds that might fit.
I understand that .45 is judged to be "Most Comfy".

JUST A TIP FOR YOU -- I MISSED ALL OF YOU ALL-CAPS POSTS SO I WASN'T OFFENDED BY THEM BUT YOU MIGHT BE INTERESTED TO KNOW HOW TO GET YOUR SCREEN FONTS TO APPEAR LARGER. THERE ARE TWO WAYS TO GO ABOUT THIS:

1) IN INTERNET EXPLORER, UNDER 'VIEW' CHOOSE THE 'TEXT SIZE' OPTION AND CRANK IT UP. THIS WILL ONLY CHANGE THE SIZE OF THE TEXT IN INTERNET EXPLORER. MOZILLA AND OTHER BROWSERS ALL HAVE A SIMILAR OPTION.

2) RIGHT-CLICK ON YOUR WINDOWS DESKTOP (THE PART WITH ALL THE ICONS YOU SEE BEFORE YOU START ANY PROGRAMS) AND CHOOSE "PROPERTIES", GO TO "SETTINGS" OR WHATEVER THE LAST TAB IS LABELED ON YOUR MACHINE, AND CRANK *DOWN* THE SCREEN RESOLUTION. THIS WILL CAUSE EVERYTHING TO APPEAR LARGER, IF THIS IS A PROBLEM YOU HAVE WITH ALL YOUR PROGRAMS.

Dalton,

If you are, "not a scientist or have any kind of expertise in any physical, chemical or geological study," and if your vision restricts you to capital letters wouldn't it be better to recruit someone without these handicaps to do your experiment first?

On the other hand, your talent as a poseur is awsome. Keep it up.
 
How exactly does an unkown type of radiation (if it exists) qualify as paranormal and how is this an ability?
If it's the rock's ability should not the rock get the money?

A rock with that much money could go <a href=http://www.bucklake.leon.k12.fl.us/hoffman/rock_collection_pics/derek_petrock.jpeg> wild game hunting! </a>

Randi has offered the prize for similar things before. in this commentary Randi said
Ah! Something we can actually examine! Where are these samples? Surely, if this statement is true, we have absolute, inarguable proof of other-worldly technology.

Where is the metal? If it can be shown to be other-worldly, the JREF million-dollar prize will be awarded. I await that evidence.

Of course, you wouldn't want to test the rock for simply being 'not of this world', because that kind of rock is really quite common (meteors).

What makes it a paranormal claim is the insecticide and anti-ice-melting qualities. And that's because no meteor has ever exhibited such qualities before, nor can we ever expect that to be the case based on our current understanding of the universe. Meteors just don't do that kind of thing.

I very much look forward to reading the details of the preliminary test, and good luck to the applicant!
 
I have a similar rock. I put it next to a piece of ice for a while and the ice melted. And when I put it on top of an insect, it killed the insect!!!

One Million dollars please!
 
DALTON, could you post for us to see, what it is that you will do? We don't have access to Randi's correspondence, so we as yet have no idea what the insect experiment and the ice experiment are. Nor what this "alien rock gemstone" is, why you think it's alien, why you think it's a gemstone (I'll accept that it's a rock), etc.

You mentioned your website, but I don't see any link to it. Maybe you could just provide that?

Please keep us updated. It's refreshing to see an applicant who can actually form sentences that make sense; as you might expect, some of the claims we see are from obviously crazy people who babble incoherently.
 
Wow. That alienrockgemstone is so powerful that it makes photos of it come out really really crappy. It also makes copies of letters posted on the web site so blurry that they're unreadable.

Hey Dalton, here are some more items you can add to your web site:
Warning: Pregnant women, the elderly and children under 10 should avoid prolonged exposure to AlienRockGemstone.

Discontinue use of AlienRockGemstone if any of the following occurs:
* Itching
* Vertigo
* Dizziness
* Tingling in extremities
* Loss of balance or coordination
* Slurred speech
* Temporary blindness
* Profuse sweating
* Heart palpitations


If AlienRockGemstone begins to smoke, get away immediately. Seek shelter and cover head.

AlienRockGemstone may stick to certain types of skin.

When not in use, AlienRockGemstone should be returned to its special container and kept under refrigeration...

Ingredients of AlienRockGemstone include an unknown glowing substance which fell to Earth, presumably from outer space.

Do not taunt AlienRockGemstone.

AlienRockGemstone comes with a lifetime guarantee.

AlienRockGemstone

ACCEPT NO SUBSTITUTES!
 
Now, now, play nice people!

He is at least completing the application process.

I know, but reading his web site, with "Alien Rock" in every sentence just made me think of the Happy Fun Ball gag.

Seriously, after reading the OP, I expected better. The web site makes it clear that this is either a hoax, or the product of a person with reduced mental capacity. And I suspect the latter, because a hoaxer wouldn't file FOIA lawsuits. Assuming they were real.

Anyone on the board live in the Detroit area, who could check this out in person? I'd like a clear picture.
