Comments appear in [brackets] everything else appears as in original text with minor formatting
changes.
Synopsis:
On October 10, 1996, the Burnelli Company was given a copy of NASA's web-page which contains,
under the subheading "Background", the following statement: "The original idea
of lifting bodies was conceived in 1957 by Dr. Alfred J. Eggers,
Jr. [of NASA] ..."
NASA was confronted with their lie and to date, they have refused to address the issue ... how
could they? ... the correspondence speaks for itself. Oct. 11, 1996,
BURNELLI points out the lie to NASA...and the ensuing correspondence up to today shows their
response (or rather lack thereof). (Click here to continue)
