lights with lightning and roars of thunder. They appear to be the very same arrays of lights saw earlier in the film, that Childs observed. It is interesting once more that the film has both Childs and Keyes observing those same assortments of strange lights in the sky. Clearly, the film is attempting draw Childs and Keyes together in the most elusive fashion, as to suggest a potential love affair. The difference with these observances is that unlike Keyes, Childs does not see lightning or hear…

Case Studies Case 1: During my visit to St. John 's Episcopal Cemetery in Valle Crucis, NC, I came across an interesting example of a laser etched image on Charles Dotson 's gravestone. Etched on Charles 's stone was an image of the USS San Diego along with the inscriptions "WWII," "Bronze Star Recipient," and "Brother Our Hero."
