Noss and those who are presenting these plans to depopulate the country to make room for bears and wolves are intellectuals, with the cold credibility of the university and “scholarship” behind them.

 What Are the Flying Triangles?
Satellites are not just steady points of light --they can flash and can travel "in formation." They can emit clouds of fuel or waste water or even sport visible thread-like tethers.

 NOSS Double and Triple Satellite Formations   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-20)
Since they were the oldest operational NOSS, perturbations had caused their perigee to decrease to an altitude where the atmospheric density at solar-maximum may have resulted in a greater rate of decay than that of the overall constellation, even at the lowest ballistic coefficient achievable using the aforementioned panels.
The NOSS were primary payloads, attached to a specialized upper stage, known as the TLD (Titan Launch Dispenser), which manoeuvred to release each NOSS satellite into its required orbit - a process that took 28 days after launch.
NOSS 3-1 and NOSS 3-2 were launched from Vandenberg AFB on Atlas 2AS rockets; NOSS 3-3 was launched from Cape Canaveral AFS on an Atlas 3B-SEC (single-engine Centaur) rocket.

 Anomalist Feature: UFOS AND THE NOSS PROBLEM
NOSS was the name given to these satellites by non military satellite specialists and stood for Naval Ocean Surveillance System.
Their reply was that NOSS satellites could not account for the witness's initial sighting back in 1975, and according to my own notes NOSS was first launched in 1976.
Remember that NOSS is only a civilian term for the satellites, their name, type, and operational function will vary so there will be a number of dates for their initial launches.

 NOSS Belgium : Frequently Asked Questions
Indeed the legislation applied by the NOSS does not provide for a distinction between an open-ended contract, a fixed-term contract or a contract providing for the fulfilment of a specific work.
Even though the joint committee(s) an employer is coming under has (have) to be mentioned on the quarterly declaration, the NOSS feels that is premature to use this criterion as a classification standard.
ALL companies coming under a joint committee have to dispose of a particular category index (which is not always the case: it may be that not all companies coming under a joint committee owe a contribution destined to the social welfare fund established in the sector).

The Noss Sound ferry operates five-days-a-week (not Mondays or Thursdays) during the summer season (mid-May to late August) while the wardens are living on the island.
Noss Sound is a relatively new channel and was probably made by storm waves that breached the sandy spit that once joined Noss to Bressay.
Because the grazing on Noss is restricted (and because even Shetland sheep can't find their way everywhere) the cliff vegetation of Noss is more luxuriant than in more heavily grazed areas, despite the plague of rabbits which each winter's cull only just keeps in check..

 The NOSS, its organisation, its assignments and its place in the social security system
The debt-claim which the NOSS has against an employer failing to pay contributions is a preferential claim, which means that the NOSS has, in the case of the forced sale of the employer debtor's assets, priority over other creditors of the employer in question.
The NOSS has the possibility to proceed with recovery of amounts that are due to it by way of a payment injunction without prejudice to its rights to issue a summons to appear before the judge.
However, a problem arises on account of the fact that the amount which the NOSS is theoretically liable to a pay to a specific body for a specific quarter is only known several months after the closing of the quarter in question, whereas the bodies in question must implement their planned expenditure.
