UFOs and the paranormal In The News

• ParaNet Operates Subforum on CompuServe. ParaNet has accepted an offer from the Mysteries Forum on CompuServe to operate section 10, titled "ParaNet" in that forum. Brian Wood, producer/director of the radio show and editor/publisher of Continuum magazine will be section leader. Greg Wheeler, Ph.D., MICAP's Director of Investigations, psychologist and abduction researcher will also contribute. ParaNet expects to run live chats there during the radio show at least once a month. Interesting files and other ParaNet products will be available in the libraries. Now CompuServe members will have exclusive access to ParaNet apart from the Usenet and Fidonet newsgroups that are also run by ParaNet.
• New Organization Advocates Preparedness for Catastrophic Earth Changes. From "The Richter 11 Project": "In July, 1994, pieces of a large comet collided with Jupiter. We don't know what this means for Earth, because we don't know enough about how the solar system works. We can't be sure if the odd weather patterns we're experiencing are not a result of extraordinary reactions from Jupiter afffecting Earth. Could that collision have disturbed the orbits of some of the tens of thousands of asteroids between Jupiter and Earth? Could other undetected waves and reactions from Jupiter have nudged some of them into Earth-intersecting orbits? If an asteroid six miles wide crashed into Earth, it would be like 15 billion 'Hiroshima' atomic bombs exploding at one time. That equals the energy of a Richter 11 earthquake. The Richter 11 Project was created to focus peoples' attention on the possibility of similar impacts on Earth. The many people who survive such an impact will have to know how to cope and rebuild. Such a collision might mean having to live without the comforts of electrical technology, or the ability to grow food for many months or even years. By reviving hand-operated technologies, and planning to store food, tools and technical and cultural knowledge in households and selected places around the world, people could rebuild without starting from nothing. Thinking 'R-11' encourages people to live fully day-to-day, and enjoy people, animals, the land, seas and natural wonders as they are now. Any 'Earth changes' could make our landscapes and civilizations look and be very different." For more information, contact (303)754-2941. Be sure to mention that you read about it on ParaNet's web site.
• Air Force Avoids Answering USA Today Question. Aviation Week & Space Technology, the leading magazine for aerospace engineers and others in the aviation industry, reports that the Air Force has been officially queried by USA Today regarding its contingency plans if the U.S. is invaded by aliens from space. The inquiry was triggered by the new movie Independence Day. True to form, the Air Force said it would "forego extensive planning pending verification of the existence of aliens." This, of course, was not the question put to them and can only contribute to further mistrust of the military.
• Skeptics Monitor Pseudoscience. The World Skeptics Congress gathered in Amherst, New York on June 20th. This was the first worldwide meeting of skeptics, and was hosted by CSICOP, Committee for the Scientific Investigation of Claims of the Paranormal. Phil Klass, one of Ufology's arch-debunkers, said "If one of your friends or relatives says they believe in flying saucers, don't be surprised. The surprising thing is that everyone doesn't believe in them with television the way it is." The skeptics blame the media for popularizing irrational beliefs in ghosts, aliens and psychics. They have formed a new group, the Council for Media Integrity, to monitor television for its portrayal of science. Paul Kurtz, organizer of the conference, said "If you look at these shows, they make it seem as if what they're portraying is real."
• Political Strategists Avoid Hillary's Paranormal Exercises. Brigid Schulte, in a story written for Knight-Ridder News Service, reports that "Ever since excerpts appeared from Bob Woodward's new book 'The Choice' detailing the first lady's sort of personal Psychic Friends Network, the tabloids have had a heyday. 'Hillary's Guru!' the headlines screamed, conjuring up visions of crystal balls and mysterious knocks in the East Room. But most political strategists are taking a pass. For two reasons: One, she's not the president. And two, they know a bunch of Americans really believe this stuff."
• Galileo Looks at Jupiter's Moon. Seven years after launch, NASA's glitch-plagued Galileo spacecraft plunged to within 517 miles of Ganymede, Jupiter's largest moon, capturing images as small as 33 feet across. Nine of Galileo's 10 instruments were trained on Ganymede, which is 3/4 the size of Mars and the largest satellite in the solar system. It took 35 minutes for radio signals to travel the 400 million miles to Earth. The first computer-enhanced photos will be available July 10, due in part to the painfully slow data rate, which was necessitated by failure of the high-gain antenna on the spacecraft. Images will arrive at a rate of two-three per day. The spacecraft now begins an 18-month program of 11 elliptical orbits of Jupiter.
• Independence Day Movie Reactions. National Director Chandra Chandler of the Colorado Springs-based UFO Institute said "My biggest problem with movies like this is they see an alien presence as the enemy, something to be defeated. If they wanted to take over, they would have done it 500 years ago." Skeptic Larry Sarner, a Loveland mathematician, computer programmer and member of the Front Range Skeptics, said "There's plety of scientific reasons why it's less than likely that space aliens exist." He explained that the closest star is four light years away and the closest planet outside the solar system is 13 light years away. To travel here, he said, aliens would not only have to suspend the laws of physics, they would have to violate what is absolute in our universe - the speed of light. At NORAD, spokesman Scott Johnson said "We don't do UFOs." NORAD was completely obliterated in the movie along with most major cities of the world. San Luis Valley observer Chris O'Brien, who has a new book out titled "The Mysterious Valley", said "science fiction flicks appear to have shifted from the warm, friendly portrayals of 'Close Encounters' and 'E.T.' to viewing the off-planet intelligence as being extremely hostile and aggressive." MICAP Director Brian Wood said "Independence Day has the awesome special effects and cinematography we have come to expect in big-budget films, along with a good cast and interesting plot. However, the science used to save the planet that was used by Jeff Goldblum in the movie was clearly not well thought out." Wood agreed with the skeptics that suspension of disbelief was carried a bit too far. He added "The panic depicted in this movie, that begins before any hostile actions are taken by the aliens, will not help UFO activists convince Congress and the military that release of government documents regarding UFOs is in the public's best interest."

CONTINUUM Magazine

ParaNet Information Services and MICAP publish a combined quarterly magazine that's packed with the latest news and features on the UFO enigma, and we do it in a manner that's unlike any other UFO magazine. There are no new age columns, no absurd articles like "Elvis was an alien", and no unsubstantiated claims. Just good, timely news on breaking stories, intelligent articles and investigations underway.

CONTINUUM Magazine is not for everyone! This is the quarterly journal of ParaNet and MICAP, and it doesn't have tabloid-type stories of unsubstantiated UFO abductions or fake pictures of aliens and their ships (well, thatÆs not quite true - we did publish a faked picture once along with a commentary of how easy it is to make fake pictures these days with computer scanners and inexpensive photo editing software, in an effort to show how important it is for investigators to find more than pictures when evaluating UFO events). It does have interesting and well thought out articles by a variety of scientists, psychologists and engineers. Our goal is to inform you and make you think, not to entertain you!

Check out the stories we've run over the last year and you'll see what we mean. We do plan to enhance the magazine over the coming year, with more pictures, better art and improved layout. But we're pretty proud of what we've got now, and we've received great comments from many professionals about the quality of the magazine!

HereÆs a short excerpt from a story from the Fall, 1995 issueà

Recently, the search for extraterrestrial intelligence (SETI) received some important encouragement. Until this year, astronomers could not verify the existence of planets around any star but our own. This "negative fact" was somewhat embarrassing to those of us who are open to the possibility of advanced spacefaring civilizations. Now new methods suggest that at least two planets are in orbit around 51 Pegasus, a G4 type star (similar to our own) only 42 light years away. While the preliminary orbital data suggests that the inner planet may be a Venus-like inferno, the jury is still out on the details.

Soon other star systems may yield their secrets to the "wobble method" that astronomers use to infer the existence of planets (by measuring the tiny wobble they give their mother star). As the search goes forward, new planets favorable to life may be identified. This search will take time, but because of the excellent science done in discovering the 51 Pegasus system, "normal science" (Kuhn, 1970) must now grant additional legitimacy to some "frontier" areas: star system cartography, exogeology, exobiology, and more. This transition is made easier because mainly new content, not new method, is at issue. The new content is available to every observer equally. All can "see" the facts at hand.

We have argued that a scientific ufology, by relying on indirect methods and inference, resembles exogeology before 51 Pegasus: a gamete awaiting fertilization by a single scientific fact. However, what constitutes a "fact" is not so obvious as it seems (Fleck, 1979). Real facts work to bridge the gap between speculation and theory. Some recent ufological data may signal the development of "working facts." Such facts "work" because they change the very framework used to discover and interpret them. Working facts are the precursors for new forms of human thought and activity. Just as the 51 Pegasus data will revise existing views on planetary evolution, so ufological observations that are not physically verifiable can still work to modify their own interpretive framework. But to do work, they must be facts--public and consensual, and not the usual oversupply of dead rumors and hearsay, capable of doing no work at all.

Because we have been uncompromising on the concepts of social consensus and public validation in any ufological science, some have labeled us "debunkers". We welcome responses to our ideas, and we are flattered when we attract enough notice to be criticized, but we believe the "debunker" label to be misplaced. Although we call for a "scientific" ufology, we still reject those "naive realist" and "common-sense" biases that tend to exclude psychological explanations. These biases have even kept alive the controversy over whether psychology can be called scientific (Laurence, 1995).

ParaNet Computer Networks

ParaNet runs several computer networks. The original ParaNet system, which uses the Fidonet PC-based network, has been in existence since 1988 and continues to operate. It consists of a global network of linked BBSs with thousands of files on UFOs and other phenomena, as well as discussion groups. ParaNet's BBS is at (303) 863-0469. ParaNet's UFO investigations department, MICAP, also runs a BBS, at (303) 985-5903.

Some cool screen shots of the BBSs.

Many of the discussion groups are gated onto the Usenet (on the Internet) and back under the following names:
alt.paranet.ufo
alt.paranet.paranormal
alt.paranet.abduct
alt.paranet.psi
alt.paranet.metaphysics
alt.paranet.skeptics
alt.paranet.science
(Note! Not all service providers feed the alt newsgroups. Some require you to authorize them. If you have trouble, check with your service provider!)

We also maintain a subforum on CompuServe. ParaNet is area 10 in the new MYSTERIES forum. There you'll find some of our library files available for download and another discussion group. While many of the same discussions take place on the Usenet and Fidonet versions of ParaNet, the CompuServe area has the advantage of being moderated, so there is less "noise". We also have some excellent resident experts there, such as Greg Wheeler, Ph.D., our staff psychologist, and his assistant Scott Scribner, both experts in abduction research.

For you MSN devotees, we have a forum on MSN but have not activated it. However, if there is sufficient interest we may change our minds. Microsoft accepted ParaNet as a Content Provider, but as many of you know, they changed their minds about how they wanted MSN to exist, and that has kept us from completing the MSN area. However, there is a Sighting report form there, which is accessible if you search for "UFO". It's a Word version of the form that you'll find on this web site.

ParaNet also has a presence on America Online (AOL). We have an ongoing relationship with the TV show Sightings, and we stay in touch with the producer of that show, who also runs the Sightings area on AOL. If you have a topic that you think might be suited for a segment on Sightings, give us a call or e-mail us and we'll put you in touch with the Sightings research department. If it's a UFO-related event, we'll also let our MICAP department in on it! We also stay in touch with OMNI Online and the National Space Society (NSS), both of which have AOL sites.

MICAP

"It is of great importance that the general public be given an opportunity to experience - consciously and intelligently - the effects and results of scientific research. It is not sufficient that each result be taken up, elaborated, and applied by a few specialists in the field. Restricting the body of knowledge to a small group deadens the philosophical spirit of a people and leads to spiritual poverty." -- Albert Einstein

What is MICAP?

MICAP is an international organization dedicated to promoting focused, responsible, scientific research on unidentified aerial anomalies. Founded in 1991, MICAP is an outgrowth of the world renowned ParaNet Information Services, an international electronic news-gathering and news-distribution network. Since 1988, ParaNet has provided a link between "armchair ufologists" and the world's leading UFO researchers. Additionally, ParaNet has become an invaluable research tool, unparalleled anywhere else. MICAP was founded to enhance and coordinate the research efforts already being carried on in this field by investigators and organizations around the world. Over the last forty years, a great deal of UFO research has been conducted at the local level by independent UFO organizations , and there have been occasional attempts to bring these efforts together on the national level both in the United States and elsewhere.. However, in all that time, very little progress has been made toward gaining an understanding of what these anomalies represent -- in part because the problem is global in nature. There has also been too much rivalry among the various UFO organizations, which has often resulted in duplication of effort, monumental egotism, and all the other ills for which Ufology is infamous.

Clearly there is a need for a cooperative, global effort directed toward UFO research. MICAP is designed to answer that need. MICAP is not a UFO club. It is a scientifically based organization founded on scientific methodology, and is intended solely for discovering facts rather than for propagating religious, philosophical or political convictions. We are under no illusion that we already know the answers; the first step, indeed, is to achieve a better understanding of what the questions are! Furthermore, MICAP is not intended to replace or compete with existing UFO organizations. Rather, its goal is to establish cooperative working relationships with other organizations in order to help them achieve a greater understanding of the complexity of the UFO enigma. MICAP is designed to function as the United Nations of the UFO research community and its goals will be pursued by four strategies: global data collection, standards-based scientific investigation, public education, and active, trained membership.

Global Data Collection

One of MICAP's first efforts has been the establishment of a central clearinghouse for data culled from independent local and international sources. This information is being combined in a computer database accessible by authorized researchers from around the world.

Standards-based Scientific Investigation

MICAP works with the scientific community to establish sound and accepted principles and standards by which the UFO phenomenon can be investigated. Every effort is made to assure that collected data is of the highest quality, and field investigators are selected and trained using the most stringent criteria practicable. MICAP bridges the gap that currently exists between scientific Ufology and the rest of the scientific community.

Public Education

The public often has a gross misunderstanding of what the UFO phenomenon represents, based on media hype, rank speculation, and deliberate disinformation. MICAP strives to replace the mythology surrounding UFOs with verifiable facts based on scientific investigation. This is accomplished through positive and aggressive public education in the media, through its own publications, and through classroom curricula developed in conjunction with professional educators.

Active, Trained Membership

For its membership, MICAP is seeking concerned men and women from around the world who are seriously interested in unlocking the secrets behind the UFO phenomenon. MICAP members, unlike any other UFO organizations, will play active roles in the pursuit of organizational goals; they are not restricted simply to the financial support of the organization. Instead, they will have the opportunity to actively participate in the investigation and collection of data if they wish. Members will benefit from MICAP's educational efforts, as well as access to the largest, most sophisticated network of UFO investigators in the world. A membership application (attached) must accompany payment.

MICAP annual dues: $30.00

MICAP membership benefits:

• Subscription to Continuum, ParaNet's quarterly Magazine ($18 value)
• Free admission to monthly meetings ($36 value) (If there's no local chapter in your area, would you like to start one? Call us!)
