Information File On: U.F.O. Research Institute of Canada (UFORIC)
==================================================================
As UFONET is not itself an investigative body, but a forum for
the thoughts and ideas of the public, UFOlogists, and research groups;
part of our mandate is to alert people to the existence of worthwhile
research organizations. Recently, I learned of a new organization by
the name of UFORIC, which is based in Vancouver. Other than a having
a packet of documents from them, I have very little first-hand info
about the group. However, from what I've seen so far, they do seem
to be a professionally run organization, which in this field of study,
is saying a lot. What follows then is some reprints of some of the
information that was sent to me. If you're interested in pursuing
this further, contact addresses and phone numbers will be listed.
Again, what follows should not be construed as an endorsement
of UFORIC, although my own personal feelings are that UFORIC seems
to be a legitimate organization, and one in which your money wouldn't
be wasted. One thought to bear in mind is that this group has only
been in operation for about 14 wks. and may be "here today, gone
tomorrow". However I don't think this will be the case with UFORIC,
as they seem to have done their homework and started on a solid
organizational foundation. UFORIC was "Incorporated" earlier this
year in the province of British Columbia. UFONET is in no way
affiliated with UFORIC, although its hoped that their will be two-
way co-operation between both groups. One of the Directors, Lorne
Goldfeather, informed me that they were looking to have a BBS arm
of UFORIC 8-12 months down the road. At present, I'm trying to
procure a UFONET node in Vancouver, in order that we might have
quicker access to Directors and members of UFORIC in the B.C. area.
