A full-page advertisement in the January 2003 issue of UFO Magazine has generated considerable interest amongst the UFO community. It refers to an event taking place on the weekend of 24-27 January, when some extraordinary satellite images of anomalous objects will be screened at the National Space Centre in Leicester. The screenings will be held on the evenings of Friday, Saturday and Sunday, with each commencing at 7.30pm.

For the past two years, hundreds of extraordinary UFO-like images have been gleaned by a Spanish-based team using two space-based satellites and which defy explanation.

NASA initially tried to explain the images away as pixel faults, passing meteors or asteroids, etc., but when a European-led consortium presented them with images that clearly were none of the aforementioned, they 'clamped up'.

On Tuesday, 7 January 2003, Mr. Mike Murray, one of the founders of EUROSETI, visited the offices of UFO Magazine to conduct a WORLD EXCLUSIVE filmed interview. With his kind permission, that interview - which features a healthy selection of these images - can now be viewed on our website.

DOM-Lingo is a binding of the Lingo scripting lanaguage used by Macromedia's Director 8.5 Shockwave Studio to the W3C Document Object Model (DOM) IDL interfaces, and a complete implementation of the DOM Level 2 specification.

DOM-Lingo includes all the parent scripts necessary to implement the DOM spec. With it, XML document trees can be created from scratch or generated from parsed XML documents, manipulated via the DOM in memory, traversed, and serialized/printed.

DOM-Lingo does not require the XML Parser Xtra. It includes a robust, non-validating XML processor written entirely in Lingo. The processor creates DOM-Lingo node trees from valid XML documents located in memory, on a local drive, or at a remote URL. The DOM-Lingo XML processor is currently the only comprehensive XML processor available for Director/Shockwave.

DOM-Lingo includes support for the TreeWalker and NodeIterator interfaces from the DOM's Traversal and Range modules for quick and efficient traversal of XML document trees. The NodeFilter interface is also supported to provide exacting specificity in node visibility.
