What this image does is cause me to review my previous examination of this calendar-day



You know how many direct references there are in my private journal to the term 'VHS'?

There are precisely two references to 'VHS'. One is listed here because it seems especially relevant and the second reference is also relevant: "The Fat Spy". My notes include details about the VHS copies



The flooring reminds me of UNIVAC training at Dam Neck. The ship had deckplates for a similar purpose because of the UNIVAC computers in Missile Plot but did not resemble that type of flooring



Very doubtful this note by me today would have ever existed if not for this image of Sydnee Scofield and this is all because she is now a great addition to KREM2 - they're all complete strangers to me - the tv-news station I prefer.

What have we learned, children?

from my private journal, as me, Kerry Burgess, typed after being released from the USA Veterans Affairs psychiatric hospital enduring many months sitting in a grungy two-computer room in a homeless shelter on the waterfront in downtown Seattle:

by me, Kerry Burgess: 04/06/07 9:42 PM

Why do I have such specific "memories" about Thedia taking me to a dentist in Texarkana to get some teeth pulled? I can "remember" so much of that very clearly. I "remember" riding there in Thedia's white Bonneville. I "remember" one of her friends was along too but I can't "remember" who it was. She was there because the dentist prescribed some valium pills for me to take before the surgery and because they were going to put me under during the surgery. Her friend was there to help carry me and I can "remember" stumbling into the dentist office. I "remember" riding in the back seat of the car after the surgery and throwing up black vomit. As I recall, I had three teeth removed.

From what I can tell, the "Jonny Quest" series started in the months after the Innsbruck Olympics.

Everytime I think about that surgery at the Texarkana dentist, something in my mind keeps forming that it represents something that happened when I was a POW in Vietnam.

04/06/07 9:55 PM

I wonder if I really did have blonde hair when I was younger or I am just "remembering" a photo of some other boy that is supposed to represent my covert identities youth.

Lately I have been feeling a greater sense of confidence of my name as Thomas Reagan. I was thinking about how that was the name on my birth certificate. I have also been thinking that my degree from Princeton University was officially listed in ultra-classified records as Dr. Thomas Reagan. I also felt a greater sense of confidence about my wife's name

Baltar's Escape

Quotes

Commander Adama: Siress Tinia, I can't allow a shuttle to carry prisoners without precaution.

Siress Tinia: I realize that, commander, but Council security will be quite suficient.

Colonel Tigh: Council security couldn't prevent an escape from the orphan ship.









Commander Adama: Since the return of our warriors with the prisoners from the Alliance of the planet Terra, the fleet has been in a state of constant confusion. If this Terra is in fact the planet Earth it is we seek, our flight across the universe may have been in vain. For we will have eluded the Cylons only to be faced by an equally oppressive human enemy. As usual of late, the Council, led by Sire Domra, is in total opposition to me. They wish to release the prisoners and to have an unarmed peace envoy with them to their outpost on Lunar Seven. I am afraid that the Council is bent on repeating the same mistakes that led to the destruction of our colonies at the hands of the Cylons. I am determined that shall not happen again so long as I am in command. In the meantime, I have ordered the fleet to full alert and taken a shuttle to the prison barge to interrogate personally the Eastern Alliance enforcers.









Count Baltar: When we reach the Alliance, I'll be welcomed with open arms. I'll be treated like a prince. And so will those who are with me.

Maga: Your record to date does not exactly inspire confidence.

Count Baltar: I, eh, I had incompetent followers.

Lord Baltar

Lord Baltar, portrayed by John Colicos, is a member of the Council of Twelve, a quorum of representatives from the Twelve Colonies. Humanity has been at war against the Cylons for a thousand years, and Baltar comes to the council with an offer of peace from the Cylons. In truth, he has promised to aid them in destroying most of the human race in exchange for them sparing his own colony, plotting to rule as dictator with the Cylons as his enforcers. The Cylons, however, are intent on exterminating all humans. They fail to honor their arrangement and destroy all twelve colonies. A protesting Baltar is sentenced to death, but is granted a reprieve by the Cylon Imperious Leader, who realizes Baltar will be useful in helping the Cylons find and destroy the fleeing human fleet of survivors.

Gaius Baltar, portrayed by James Callis, is a reimagined version of Lord Baltar in the 2003 miniseries and 2004–2009 series.









https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gaius_Baltar

Gaius Baltar

From Wikipedia

Dr. Gaius Baltar is a fictional character in the TV series Battlestar Galactica played by James Callis, a reimagining of Lord Baltar from the 1978 Battlestar Galactica series. He is one of the show's primary characters.

At the onset of the show, he is involved in a sexual relationship with a blonde woman. Believing her to be working for a corporation in the defense industry, and desiring a more permanent relationship with her, he gives her access to the highly classified Colonial defense mainframe (an act of treason punishable by the death penalty) so her employers can have an advantage in future contract bidding. In exchange for his access to the government mainframe, she helps him design a navigation program used by Colonial warships, covertly creating backdoors in the program. When the Cylons attack the Twelve Colonies of Kobol, they use those backdoors to penetrate software security firewalls, disabling entire fighter squadrons outright and sabotaging vital capital-ship systems. On the day the Cylons attack humanity, the woman reveals she is an advanced Cylon, model Number Six (later known as Caprica Six), and she used the information that Baltar gave her to shut down the Colonial defenses, thus making him responsible for the Cylons' successful genocidal campaign against the Twelve Colonies. Baltar manages to survive the nuclear explosion that destroys his home due to Caprica Six using her body to shield him.

As a result of the nuclear blast, Number Six is killed, and as a Cylon her memories are automatically "downloaded" during the blast to be later resurrected, as revealed in later episodes. For the duration of the series, Baltar is haunted by a version of Six only he can see. This woman toys with alternate explanations for her existence, from a Cylon chip in his brain sending signals, to an hallucination created out of guilt over the attacks, and thirdly to her being an Angel sent by God to watch over him, and Baltar finally assumes the latter following a medical checkup and rationalising that her extraordinary information to solve problems cannot simply be his own mind.

(from internet transcript)

(Cut to a tv screen, where a reporter, whose name is given as Kellan Brody, is talking to a man, Dr. Gaius Baltar.)

Brody: For those of you just joining us from the pyramid game on Geminon, welcome to The Spotlight, our weekly interview program devoted to people making news on Caprica.

(Gaius is looking out the window and then looking at his watch.)

Brody: Today, we're talking to Dr. Gaius Baltar, winner of three Magnet Awards over the course of his career, a media cult figure and a personal friend of President Adar's. He is currently working as a top consultant for the ministry of defense on computer issues, but he's perhaps best known for his controversial views on advancing computer technology. (The camera pans around so that we can see that Baltar is giving the interview from his home. Nice place.) Dr. Baltar, again, welcome.

Baltar: Thank you, Kellan. And first may I say how lovely you're looking, and secondly, what an absolute pleasure it is to be on the show.

Brody: Well, we're delighted to have you with us. Could you summarize your views for our audience?

Baltar: Yes, I'd be happy to. My position is very simple. (Off to the side, we see Number Six walk into the house and put a metal box down on a table.) The ban on research and development into artificial intelligence is, as we all know, a holdover from the Cylon Wars. Quite frankly, I find this to be an outmoded concept. It serves no useful purpose except to impede our efforts.

(Back to Baltar's house)

Dr. Gaius Baltar: So now you're telling me, umm- Now you're telling me that you're a machine?

Six: I'm a woman.

Baltar: You're a machine. You're a synthetic woman. A robot.

Six: I've said it three times now.

Baltar: Well, forgive me, I'm having the tiniest bit of trouble believing that, because the last time anybody saw the Cylons, they looked more like walking chrome toasters.

Six: Those models are still around. They have their uses.

Baltar: Prove it. If you're a Cylon, prove it to me right now.

Six: I don't have to. You know I'm telling the truth.

Baltar: See, stating something as the truth doesn't necessarily make it so, because the truth of the matter is, I don't believe a word of it.

Six: You believe me, because deep down you've always known there was something different about me. Something that didn't quite add up in the usual way. And you believe me because it flatters your ego, to believe that alone among all the billions of people of the Twelve Colonies, you were chosen for my mission.

Baltar: Your mission? What mission?

Six: You knew I wanted access to the defense mainframe.

Baltar: (stunned) Def- Wait a minute, the defense mainframe? What exactly are you saying?

Six: Come on, Gaius. The communications frequencies, deployment schedules, unlimited access to every database.

Baltar: Oh my god.

Exclusive: Downed US pilot reported seeing Iranian drones swarm in ‘jellyfish’ formation

Zachary Cohen, Katie Bo Lillis, CNN

Tue, June 23, 2026 at 1:00 AM PDT 4 min read

A US fighter jet pilot rescued by special forces after being shot down over Iran in April described a shocking sight before ejecting from his aircraft: multiple Iranian drones hovering in the air, moving as one, in a formation that resembled a jellyfish, according to four sources familiar with the matter.

The account, which has not been previously reported, was shared by the F-15 pilot with intelligence officials during a debriefing after the incident. It immediately set off a firestorm of debate within the US intelligence community that has yet to be resolved.

If the airman really saw what he described — a formation moving in unison — it would be an alarming advance in Iranian drone capabilities.

"Multiple drones interconnected and moving as one with smaller drones below the bigger drones like legs," one of the sources familiar with the pilot's witness account told CNN. "Real alien sh*t."

Another source told CNN the pilot described witnessing a "minefield of drones" in the air.

While the exact cause of the F-15 downing is still being investigated, initial reports indicated that it was possible the drone formation had in some way enabled Iran to shoot down the American jet, according to two of the sources.

The F-15 carried a crew of two — a pilot and a weapons system officer. US forces immediately launched search and rescue efforts, CNN previously reported.

The downing of the F-15 fighter jet marked the first time a US aircraft has been shot down over Iran during the conflict.

The pilot was rescued hours after ejecting from the aircraft, while the weapons systems officer evaded Iranian capture in the mountains for more than a day before also being rescued. It is not clear if the weapons systems officer also saw the drone formation.

A second aircraft, an A-10, was downed during the rescue effort but that pilot managed to eject safely outside of Iranian airspace.

US intelligence officials disagreed on how to interpret what the F-15 pilot described, and whether the pilot could recount the incident clearly.

For one thing, he was concussed in the crash. It was his second time being shot out of the sky during the Iran war: he had also been among the pilots downed in a friendly fire incident by Kuwaiti forces early in the conflict, according to two of the sources.

Had he witnessed a mature capability that US intelligence wasn't aware of? A beta test? A mirage in the desert?

The intelligence officials conducting the debrief said something to the effect of: "Are you sure you saw what you are saying you saw?" another one of the sources said.

The US Air Force directed queries to US Central Command, which did not directly address questions from CNN. The Office of the Director of National Intelligence did not reply to a request for comment.

The questions about Iran's drone program come as the US and Tehran negotiate a deal that would end the Iran war, having begun a 60-day window for talks as part of a ceasefire last week. Those talks are expected to focus on Iran's nuclear program, though a wide range of issues have been raised by both parties.

While the specific drone capability described by the pilot was not something that US intelligence agencies had previously assessed Iran possessed, there is a trail of reports indicating that Iran had been receiving assistance in developing its drone technology from China and Russia, according to two sources familiar with the matter.

The technical term for the capability described by the pilot is "one-to-many meshed networking," according to the sources.

In general, meshed networking allows an operator to command several drones at a time.

Other countries — Russia and China — are believed to have the capability. Any development in Iran's already-sophisticated drone warfare program would be a concern for US forces and its allies in the region.

Meshed networking could also theoretically be used to provide internet connectivity in remote areas without existing infrastructure, noted one US official — in theory, a benign function.

Iran aggressively employed its attack drones as an asymmetric weapon during the weeks-long conflict against US and Israeli forces as well as nearby Gulf countries.

"We will spend huge, huge dollars, like a lot of blood and treasure, protecting ourselves from something that can coordinate like that," Emma Bates, a drone warfare and defense modernization expert who founded the company Cachai, told CNN, referring to the threat posed by meshed networking capabilities for drones.

"If it can coordinate itself into a recognizable shape and maintain that shape, and if it's got explosives on board, and if it is holding resources in reserve to attack whatever the first volley didn't destroy – that's a very capable approach," Bates said.
