Appears to be a civilian issued version of my other Civil Defence dosimeter, but this one has a Ratemeter too. Price tag on box is 24.95, in 1961 dollars. Google says thatās about 188.99 dollars today.
Donāt know who Mr. Singer is, or much about Allied Chemical, but sounds an awful lot like a Vault-Tec Letter.
Gonna look real nice next to the others. Gotta get me a display case.
Hale-bopp was a comet Passed in the 90s
Thatās the extent of my knowledge on that.
Heavens gate were the nike wearing cult, mass suicide in the 80s?, leader had a cool sounding name but cant remember it.
I wouldnāt have made a connection between the two except for you mentioning one, but the cult had something to do with aliens/ufos/ spaceā¦so I guess? thatās the connection.
They tried to suicide their way back to the mothership hiding in the cometās tail. Pretty sad way to go.
On a less depressing note. I just find it weird how many people have no recollection of a GIANT FLAMING COMET that was in the sky for like 2-3 months. Makes me think of the War of the Worlds TV show where they explained everything being normal in the present time as a mass hysteria / amnesia reaction.
Somewhat related, the Mandela Effect is basically that in reverse, a vivid memory in large numbers of people of something being a way it never was. Funny how unreliable the human mind can be.
