Photo shot from the wing camera of an RL45 Interdictor.

Project GRIP document indicates that the disc was followed by the Interdictor for several minutes, managing to stay undetected due to its position between the disc and the sun. Only when the disc aburptly altered its course - and the shadow of the Interdictor fell across the leading edge of the disc - was the Interdictor detected.

The disc quickly evaded the Interdictor after several high-speed maneuvers.

The Project GRIP report specifies the disc's maximum detected speed to be 850 mph.

    New Element Discovered!

       A major research institution has recently announced the discovery of the heaviest chemical element yet known to science. The new element has been tentatively named "Governmentium". Governmentium has one neutron, 12 assistant neutrons, 75 deputy neutrons, and 11 assistant deputy neutrons,giving it an atomic mass of 312.

   These 312 particles are held together by forces called morons, which are surrounded by vast quantities of lepton-like particles called peons. Since Governmentium has no electrons, it is inert. However, it can be detected as it impedes every reaction with which it comes into contact. A minute amount of Governmentium causes one reaction to take over four days to complete when it would normally take less than a second.

   Governmentium has a normal half-life of three years; it does not decay, but instead undergoes a reorganization in which a portion of the assistant neutrons and deputy
