Wish list:

A more active ufo sightings in Washington state that has great quotes like this from William in Spokane:

.....I'm not crazy, stupid or high on anything that would make me think or see this would happen.

A local updated list of things I currently don't believe in (I'm a doubting Thomas) such as black helicopters overhead. Plus a matching skeptic site that debunks such sightings as quickly as possible.

A local current web site detailing every helicopter and airplane flying over Olympia.
