Monday August 16, 1993 7:00 PM 6th Ave. & 52nd St, Kenosha, WI USA (in front of Kenosha's City Hall) Gizmo attracts starships like bees to honey! COME SEE FOR YOURSELF! THE MODERNS, Preparing for the Harmonic Convergence The Harmonic Convergence on Aug. 16, 1987 was a disappointment to many, as one writer put it. The UFOs didn't land so researcher Jose Aruelles [sic] writer of "The Mayan Factor" and chief architect of the Harmonic convergence is considered by many a crackpot but what was wrong with his idea. The peaceful coming together of all people to harmonically converge with the people beyond 1993 ...... [????] THE GREAT SPACE SHIP LANDING OF 1993 The MODERNS transmitter technology is based on current tacionic theory. By employing advanced wave and matrix mechanics to the free [unbounded] particle wave equation several possible results are immediately evident......[lots of pseudoscientific jibberish follows]. IN SHORT, A transmitter that can transmit simultaneously to every point of the universe instantaneously. That we refer to simply as a space ship magnet. For more information contact: John E.
