Hi, Laura:
Thank you for your contribution. Kerry and I want to offer you our encouragement and appreciation. Anchor is right: this is Project Camelot material.
It's a fascinating story that's certainly plausible, and rings true here. Artefacts (yes, the English spelling! In the US it's spelled with an 'i'

) like this do exist. There seem to be several variants of these devices... not just the 'Yellow Book' reported by a number of good researchers over the years.
I'm based in Zurich (flying in there from the US on Sunday morning) and have many friends in Germany, including Thomas Kirschner, the editor of the German edition of NEXUS magazine, who would certainly be interested in reporting and/or helping to investigate this. I'd be delighted to help out if I can. I'll be in Europe for maybe two or three months.
Do please continue to post information on this thread, and also (if you like) contact Kerry or myself privately.
[* side note: we are in touch with Tony Dodd and have a very high regard for his work... ]
Very best wishes, Bill
