11th Boeing-Built UHF Naval Satellite Arrives in Florida for December Launch

ST. LOUIS, Nov. 18, 2003 - The U.S. Navy's Boeing [NYSE:BA]-built UHF Follow-On (UFO) F11 satellite has arrived at Cape Canaveral AFS, Fla., where it will undergo final preparations for its December launch aboard an Atlas rocket.

The Boeing 601 satellite is the 11th UFO spacecraft to be built in El Segundo,
Calif., and delivered by Boeing Satellite Systems for the Navy's Space and
Naval Warfare Systems Command in San Diego.

You guys were all wrong about USAF/Area 51! It's **EL SEGUNDO** where
all the UFO activity is happening!

What were they thinking when they named it "Uhf Follow-On"? Now for
the next one hundred years we will be reading about leaked documents on
the
military "communicating with UFOs". ;-)

I'm sorry, but no city named "The 2nd" can be where it's happening,
unless it's oil refining.

El Segundo is named after the Standard Oil's second refinery in CA,
but then, Coalinga is from "Coaling Station A", a landmark on the
railroad going through town, so CA has a history of naming towns after
fuel-related products. Then there's Manteca....

When they named Manteca, the word meant "butter". Word meanings shift
and now it's "lard". Oh, well. Calabasas is "pumpkin" and Las Pulgas
is "The Fleas". Vacaville is "Cowtown".

California does not formally have different names for different
sized municipalities; everything that is formally recognized as
a local self governing municipality is a City. Names like "Town"
and such are purely unofficial.

I grew up between San Jose and San Francisco, just south of
Stanford, in a town called Los Altos (the hills).
Typically, Los Altos does not include any *actual* hills;
it goes from about halfway to the southern end of San
Francisco Bay up to the edge of the hills, but the hills
proper are another city.

The city in which the hills actually are located is named,
aptly enough:

Los Altos Hills

Even better, when it incorporated as a municipality, it had
been calling itself a Town for some time. Denied the legal
ability to get a state recognized charter as a Town and not
a City, they chose to make the following official town name:

The City of The Town of Los Altos Hills

....In Texas, the difference between "city" and "town" is usually made
by one of three criteria:

1) Size.

2) Whether or not you can buy beer within the city limits.

3) The degree of inbreeding the local gestapo requires for new hires.
