Due to lack of free time, I am no longer up keeping the faq, it has grown

vary large and requires more time than I have to up keep it. If you are

intrested in maintaining this faq, write me. To those who want to have

information added or updated in the FAQ, please don't send it to me. I

won't be adding it. Please accept my appologies about this.

I still may post the faq every so often when I have the time to do so;

however it won't have any new information it it. I don't have much time

to read a.a.v. these days, I do manage to get on every one in a while, so

if you post a request for the faq there, I may miss reading it.



Hello and welcome to the alt.alien.visitors Frequently Asked Questions

posting. You may notice that this FAQ does not follow the standard question

asked, question answered format. The reason for this is that this FAQ is

designed to answer questions of people who are new to this Usenet discussion

group, and designed to be a useful reference source to those interested in

UFOlogy. I tried to keep a neutral stance when I researched the many of the

subjects covered in this FAQ; however you may also notice that some of the

material seem to be one-sided. When doing some of the research I may have

only used one book or source, thus (as you may have noticed) some authors

present information from only one point of view and this has a tendency to

be carried over to this FAQ, do to the lack of information on the subject

from another point of view.  (deep huh?)



Also please when reading information from this FAQ (as one poster put it)

take everything you read here with a very large grain of salt. (rock salt)

Even I don't believe all the information that I have included in this FAQ.

As I said its mainly a reference to help you out. If you find yourself

interested in a UFO related subject, **DO RESEARCH** read books on the

subject, dig into both sides, write letters to the authors and researchers.



I would once again like to thank everyone who contributed to the FAQ,

I would like to especially thank Steve Gamble and Jeff Papineau for the work

they put into the UFO Organizations section.

=== 0.0: Whats New to the FAQ?

------------------------------

New informarion since last psoting:

None - some information may be out of date.



Due to lack of free time, I am no longer up keeping the faq, it has grown

vary large and requires more time than I have to up keep it. If you are

intrested in maintaining this faq, write me. To those who want to have

information added or updated in the FAQ, please don't send it to me. I

won't be adding it. Please accept my appologies about this.

I still may post the faq every so often when I have the time to do so;

however it won't have any new information it it. I don't have much time

to read a.a.v. these days, I do manage to get on every one in a while, so

if you post a request for the faq there, I may miss reading it.



=== 0.1: About alt.alien.visitors

---------------------------------

alt.alien.visitor is a Usenet discussion group available through internet.

Currently a.a.v. is the only UFO related discussion group available on

Usenet. It caters to a wide rage of UFO related discussion from New Age

UFOlogy to Scientific UFOlogy. It currently receives around 36 posting

daily. All comments by me are indicated by the square brackets[]



=== 0.2: Posting to alt.alien.visitors

--------------------------------------

The following idea was suggested by [e-mail] and is

taken from [e-mail] (Melissa Wauford)'s "*** REC.ARTS.TV

POSTING GUIDELINES ***". I have adapted it to fit alt.alien.visitors, and

I feel that this is an excellent idea. I would recommend that you use this

system when posting to alt.alien.visitors.



alt.alien.visitors can be a controversial newsgroup with a wide variety

of discussed topics. A few topics may generate more traffic than others

and may contain subject matter related to UFOlogy that others wish to

filter out or concentrate upon.  In order to allow those who use rn or

some other method of pre-selecting articles to filter out (or save away)

postings about these heavy traffic subjects, an abbreviation scheme has

been created.  Please help out by starting your subject line with one of

the following abbreviations when posting about these topics. For example:



~Subject: HOT - Dancing Aliens



or



~Subject: OP: Grey finger snacks,(the trick is in how you fold them)



New abbreviations will be added as needed. Send suggestions directly to

me, and I'll add them to the list. Objections to any abbreviations should

probably be posted so that a consensus may be reached. Old abbreviations

will be deleted when no longer necessary.





Suggested Abbreviations by [e-mail]:

[revised by [e-mail]]



 ABD = Abduction information

  CE = Pertaining to UFO sightings and phenomena, Close Encounters,

       alien contact

  HA = Jokes & silliness

 HOT = Someone flaming someone else

 INV = Postings about alien invasions and conspiracies

MISC = Other categories like Atlantis/Mu/Spacemen, etc...

  NA = New Age stuff

NEWS = UFO related news, upcoming conventions.

  OP = Opinions

 REP = Repostings of older post like Lear, Cooper, etc..

 SCI = Scientific (preferably not pseudo) findings on UFO related issues





=== 0.3: People who post to alt.alien.visitors

----------------------------------------------

Readers and writers of a.a.v. are made up of:



A) People that have had contact.(Rarely post... obvious reasons)

B) Government paid disinformation people. (Poor to fair fiction)

C) Questioning/Inquiring minds (post questions, do research, answer

   questions)

D) Wanderers (Just passing through, make snide remarks if any)

E) A few who think aliens are out there but haven't/won't come here.

F) A few who think aliens are with us know but have had no contact.

G) Aliens (Grey, life sucking, invader of utopia)

H) Guys like me that just can't unsubscribe from this group. (It's just to

   much fun. Life looks darker and things aren't very clear. (guess this

   belongs in alt.consp....) But when all else falls through pull up a.a.v.

   and smile. Someone is always a little worse off than you are and here is

   one sure fired place to find one.

I) People who are not contactees, or new-agers, or sceptics, but are simply

   interested in high-strangeness phenomenon of all sorts (and generally try

   not to post snide comments or be simple minded!)

J) Humans from parallel dimensions who are trapped in ours. (Luckily, they

   come from one w/higher tech and brought their own spacefleet. Either

   that, or they have used our tech to build some things to fight the Grays

   with, say..Orion-class pulse engines (nuclear explosions for propulsion.))

== 0.4: Common Sense Guidelines

-------------------------------

When posting to any Usenet group please follow these general guidelines.



(1)  Do not post on subjects that clearly unrelated to the newsgroup.

     Take them to the appropriate news group for discussion.



     Example: Discussion of abortion, gun control, politics and other

     strictly non related UFO should not be posted on this news group.



(2)  Do not completely repost others peoples postings and then write your

     opinion about it. Selectively edit the the post to get the information

     you need from it to make your point. The standard symbol used to show

     information from another post is the ">".



     Example of what not to do: Repost a long section of material quoted

     from a previous article, followed by "I agree" or words to that

     effect.

2:03: Marfa Lights

------------------

Marfa lights  are balls of lights that appear, change different colors

and dance around in the air.  These lights where named after the town

that they have been appearing in, Marfa Texas. They have also been sited

in other areas. Some theories as to what they are include Ball lighting,

Car headlights, and Alien space ships. The last current sighting I'm

aware of was Marfa Texas on September 1 1992.



Main Source: Sightings, FOX Network airdate September 25, 1992



2:04: Men In Black (MIB)

------------------------

These are a group of individuals who are said to wear black suits and

drive and fly around in unmarked black cars and helicopters.  They go

about  threatening people who have claimed to have seen UFOs into not

talking about what they witnessed.



The very first occurrence of MIB was traced to a man named Albert K.

Bender.  He was the editor of a flying saucer publication called the

"Space Review" In the October 1953 issue he placed an announcement

stating that he had come across information that would solve the flying

saucer mystery but they could not print it because they were ordered not

to.  They then ended the announcement warning others in saucer work to be

"very cautious"  they then stopped their publications. Later in an

interview Bender stated that "three men wearing dark suits" had ordered

him to stop publishing flying saucer material, and  that he had complied

with the order because he had been "scared to death" of them. He later

published a book called "Flying Saucers and the Three Men in Black"

2:05: Tectonic Strain Theory (TST)

----------------------------------

A theory of electromagnetic effects upon the human brain and/or the

physical environment, such that all Forteana including UFOs, ghosts, ESP,

sasquatch, and religious fervour can be explained as being caused by

seismic activity generating electromagnetic radiation which in turn makes

people think they are witnesses to an anomalous event. Alternatively, the

EMM radiation can luminesce so that it appears as a UFO.  Chief

proponent: Michael Persinger. A variant is the "Earth Lights" hypothesis

described by Paul Devereux.

=== Alien Races

---------------------

These are often talked about in books, Publcations and on this discussion

group.



3.00: Andromedans

---------------

These are a non-physical race of purely awesome ancient angelic beings from

the Andromeda galaxy. They ultimately are the spiritual force behind the

Ashtar command and are the leaders behind the Pleiadians and our whole

human branch of evolution! Not only that, but they are the guiding power

behind at least one other completely different branch of evolution: The

Cygnusian races - quiet, slimy, amphibian like creatures who come from

planets in the constellation Cygnus. Again, the way the Andromeda galaxy

beings are helping the beings in our own Milky Way galaxy grow, is a

macrocosmic example of how the Pleiadians civilization is helping our Earth

civilization grow.

3.01: Arcturus

--------------

Members of Confederations of Humans

The Arcturians are a very spiritual race that lives in a universe or

reality of pure love. There seems to be a gateway of some sorts at

this planet which transmits higher energies to our dimensional

universe.

3.02: Aryans (Blondes)

----------------------

Blond Nordic Humanoids who work with the greys. Said to be captured by

the Reptoids and also have implants. They are said to have a tendency to

switch their loyalties between the Reptoids and the Confederations of

Humans.

3.03: Bllues (Star Warriors)

----------------------------

The Blues are said to have translucent skin, large almond shaped eyes and

small of stature. The main issue of their teaching was PURSUE YOUR

PASSION, follow your own way, do your own thing, don't be pressured into

being anything but what and who you are.



The information about the Blues comes from Robert Morningsky a

Hopi/Apache dancer. According to Morningsky the first alien contact

started about 1947 - 1948 with the Greys contacting the U.S. Government

to form a treaty with them. Another body of Aliens arrived, called the

Blues. The Blues advised the government not to deal with the greys saying

it would only lead to disaster. They told the U.S. to follow your own

path. They said they would would teach with peace and harmony if men

would disarm and listen. The military said no deal. So they left, but a

few decided to remain and stayed in Northern Mexico and Arizona and made

a treaty with the Hopi Indians. These Aliens are known by the Hopi as

Star Warriors. The greys started monitoring the Blues. So the Blues had

to flee the reservation and go into hiding, a few of the Elders went with

them.



The Hopi legend is that there were two races, the children of the feather

who came from the skies, and the children of the reptile who came from

under the earth. The children of the reptile chased the Hopi Indians out

of the earth, these evil under-grounders were also called two hearts.

3.04: Centaurian

--------------

These are blond nordic types who come from Alpha Centauri. They like the

Pleiadians seek to help us grow spiritually, but they don't take as active

a role as the other races, although they do and have made contacts with

select people on Earth.

3.05: Confederation of Humans (Intergalactic Confederation)

-----------------------------------------------------------

This is more often referred to as the "Intergalactic Confederation",

headed by the Ashtar Command. It consists of an organization of alien

groups born out of positive energy, that are helping the human race along

and desire to protect them.  Includes: Vega, Arcturus, Sirius, Pleiades,

Lyrians, DALs and Centaurians.

3.06: DALs

--------

This is a race of nordic types who come from what is called the

DAL Universe. They are a branch of the Lyrians and are very advanced

technically and spiritually; about 300-1000 years ahead of the

Pleiadians. They are helping the Pleiadians in a very similar manner

to which the Pleiadians are helping us.

3.07: Greys

-----------

This is the most commonly identified alien race in UFOlogy. Their are

many different views, stories and theories regarding them ranging from

the different New Age views to the different Scientific, and conspiracy

views.



Greys as presented by the Scientific Community:

 The Greys are the most commonly described race by abduction victims. In

this view they are considered a race with an unknown motives, and

agendas. They seem to be abducting, studying, testing and using various

individuals for their one unclear reasons. [See: Abductions and Current

Theories]



Greys as presented by the New Age Movement:

  In the new age movement the Greys are often associated as an evil race,

or a race with bad energy. They are often associated with many other

races, such as the Reptoids and their motives are known.



Greys as presented by Different Conspiracy Theories

  The different conspiracy theories are often a mix of the scientific and

new age views. The standard conspiracy base states that the Greys crashed

one or more of their space ships and they were found by the U.S.

Government. The Government them makes a secret treaty with the Greys

allowing them to abduct humans in exchange for their technology. The

conspiracy theories often end with the Greys not keeping their part of

the deal. [I will try and include some of the different conspiracy

theories when I have more time to research them in detail]



Their are descriptions of several types of Greys: they are all humanoid in

appearance, a head, main body, two arms, hands, legs, and feet.



1: The most commonly seen grey is around two to four feet tall, very

slender and delicate looking, small beings and light weight, extremely

penetrating black slanted eyes with no pupils, almost vestigial mouth

and nose, a very large head with a pointed chin. The skin color varies

from dark grey to light grey, tan to tanish grey, white to pale white.

They have no hair on their bodies.



2: Another commonly seen Grey is described similarly as above, except

their usually six inches taller, and seem to give the orders. A variation

of this same described individual is: same as above except eyes like big

black buttons and are rounded.



3: Another type of Grey are the small robot like beings, stocky and

little, with smooth rounded hat on top, with dark deep set holes for eyes

and a round O shaped mouth, square breastplate with concentric circles on

it, smell like burnt match heads, mushroom grey skin. These Greys are

often said to act like security guards.



Other variations are described as Reptilian like with claws an preying

mantis like. There have also been many report of cross breeds that are

not exactly human and not exactly Greys.

3.08: Lyrians

-----------

This is the very ancient parent race from which our entire

branch of human or humanoid races emerged, including all the nordic

types, the Orions, and even the Greys. Quite warlike in the infancy of

their civilization, they gradually improved their ways and are now

technically and spiritually at about the level of the Pleiadians.

3.09: Orion Empire (Orion forces)

---------------------------------

The "Orions" are made up of two opposed races. The "Council of Light" was

one based at the star system Betelgeuse, and the equally powerful evil

Orions were based at the star system Rigel. The Orions took over lots of

planets back in our galaxy's less spiritual days but were always balanced

by the Intergalactic Confederation.



The conquering part of Orion empire was defeated 200,000 years ago

by the Intergalactic Confederation, and they haven't been a threat to

Earth since. They are presently getting ready to "transform into the

4th dimension" just as we of Earth are. In fact, some people on Earth

are reincarnated Orions who are here to integrate their negativity and

hence allow both our worlds to ascend.

3.10: Pleiadians

----------------

The Pleiadians are a collective of extraterrestrials from the star system

Pleiades. They are also from various times in our future, starting from

500 years from now to millions of years from now. The Pleiadian culture

is ancient and was "seeded" from another universe of love long before

Earth was created. They have formed a tremendous society which operates

with love, with ideas and ideals that we are yet unfamiliar with.



The Pleiadians started a project to contact and inspire earth humans to

take back their power and create a better reality for themselves. They

are here as ambassadors from another universe to help Earth through her

transition from the third dimension to the fourth dimension and to assist

each of us in our personal endeavors of awakening, remembering and

knowing. As this project has become more successful, more ETs have

joined the group, some from other systems. The group later changed its

name from Pleiadians to the Pleiadians Plus.



The Pleiadians say that their reasons for contacting us is that there is

a chance of tyranny in the future and they are coming back to inspire us

as much as possible so we will take charge of creating our own reality

and change the future.

   They teach a very empowering form of personal and social metaphysics,

with love and clarity. The Pleiadians speak as a collective and there are

no individuals identified. They do not appear in physical form although

they say they can. They say it is safer to come through the channel,  and

it does not attract as much attention.





Billie Meier's Contact from the Pleiades

Billie Meier was contacted over 130 times between 1976 and 1982 by a

female named Samjese who said she was from the star system Pleiades. She

was the first to telepathically contact Meier and tell him where to go

for the first physical contact. Meier had indepth conversations with

Samjese. The contact notes are published in following four books and are

out of print:



UFO ... Contact from the Pleiades Vol I & II Photo Journals (Vol I is in

        its second printing.)

UFO ... Contact from the Pleiades Prilimary Investigation Report

3.11: Sirius

-------------

Members of Confederations of Humans

They are a watery, dreamy race who are basically an evolved version of

dolphins and whales, somewhat. They are said to live in the Christ

consciousness, and are in a solar system very linked with our own in a

psychic manner. They too play a role in helping Earth, but they are doing

it from a more subtle standpoint, like through the cetaceans in our seas.

3.12: Reptoids

---------------

A reptilian race from Draco bent on conquest,  They are said to be

controling the greys by means of an implant, the same one that the gray

are implanting into humans.  They are also said to be the master minds

behind the abduction plans. Their master plan involves using the newly

created 'Half-breeds' with implants to defeat the Confederations of

Humans. The Reptoids also use humans as food.  [Does this remind you of

the movie V?]

=== Abductions and Current Theories

-----------------------------------

4.00: About Abductions

----------------------

There are many people who believe they have been abducted by UFOnauts.

These abduction victims often experience memory loss and "missing time".

some of them have been able to recall their abductions from memory and

others have recalled their abductions by the aid of hypnosis. Often these

encounters involve being taken aboard an alien craft and examined by the

UFOnauts and put through a variety of physical and mental procedures.

Then the individuals are returned. Many of the abduction victims has

shown signs of Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder.



Some of the major researchers who have studied the abduction field

include Budd Hopkins, David Jacobs, John Mach, Philip Klass, and Jenny

Randles.



There are several groups with distinct opinions. The dyed-in-the-wool

Skeptics, who who don't believe it. Others who are passing no verdict, but

are still examining  the evidence. Those who believe due to the

similarities of the abduction testimonies. Those who claim to have

information through means such as channeling. Those who claim to have had

first-person experiences, with automatic conscious recall. Those who

claim to have had first-person experiences, with recall under hypnotic

regression.



The opinions of some skeptics such as Klass believe that the hypnotists

themselves are leading the abduction victims unknowingly into believing

that they have had an abduction experience. The skeptics believe that the

the media has been saturated so much with the abduction material that when

people having nightmares or people who believe that they have experienced

the "missing time" are put under hypnosis, they draw upon what they have

seen in the media to fulfill the expectations of the hypnotist and

causes themselves to be put trough the trauma for that reason. They say

the nightmares are often caused by the sleeping disorder narcolepsy, and

the "missing time" is not an uncommon experience and is caused when the

mind is preoccupied by other matters. They often give the advice to go to

clinical doctors, and not to contact an abductionist.



Other researchers such as Jacobs and Hopkins believe that there is

something physical causing the abduction experiences. Hobkins has stated

that he believes that the abduction are real and that the recounts of the

abductions are to similar to each other to be anything but the truth.

Jacobs takes a slightly different approach, he has been categorizing all

the accounts and trying to find patterns in the testimonies. Through this

method he come up with new more indepth theories regarding the

abductions.



The Channelers believe that the abductions are part of a battle between

good energy forces and evil energy forces. [See Reptoids, Greys and

Pleiadians]



There people on the net who believe they have had personal experiences

with Alien contacts or abductions. Some have posted accounts of their

experiences. Many others decline to post due to attacks by skeptics.



There has been possible material evidence of UFOs or Alien contacts. There

are abundant material traces, even excepting those confiscated by the

military. Material traces include burned grass and earth where UFOs have

landed, UFOs shown on radar tapes, UFOs on film and in photos. Bodily

traces on abductees include scoop-marks in the flesh, incisions, burns,

apparent radiation exposure, bruises, inflammation, etc. Whether any of

these is considered *evidential*, however, is a subjective value call.

=== UFO Projects & Theories & Controversies

--------------------------------------------



6.00: Aurora Project or "deep black" projects

----------------------------------------------

The "Black Projects" are governmental projects that are considered

technological secrets. These can range from laser and particle beams to

top secret aircraft. The "Aurora Project" is the name given to one of

these types of projects by the industry experts involving two new types

of reported aircraft. These aircraft where observed in the south west US

and are said to have been developed at highly classified government

facilities in the Nevada desert. There are two types of advanced aircraft

reported.



One is nick named the "Pulser" aircraft. There have been many sights of

this aircraft by several different  witnesses. When sighted it has

repetitively been described as "A high-speed aircraft characterized by a

very loud, deep, rumbling engine noise (1-2 Hz pulse rate) reminiscent of

heavy-lift rockets."  The smoke trail of the aircraft is described as

being segmented and in a linked sausage shape. (Or another good example

would be to look at one side of your coat zipper, un-zipped, with the

teeth facing you) It is also described as a high-altitude aircraft that

crossed the sky at extremely high speeds. Both ground based and airborne

observers have reported it to be seen flying at altitudes above 50,000

ft. observers have reported see the aircraft as a single bright light

that seldom changed direction, however speed changes where observed. One

observer estimated that it covered 350 miles in 6 minutes. (3500

miles/hr)





This this aircraft may indeed exist. There has been research in to what

are called Pulsed Detonation Engines (PED's) also refereed to as Pulsed

Detonation Wave Engines. These are different type of engine than the

pulse jet engines, which is already publicly know, and has been tested in

aircraft. The PED's are said to be in laboratory and computer analysis

level of development (reported oct of 91) The PED's exhaust emission

produces smoke trails that closely match the pulser aircraft. Simulations

of theses engines are said to be able to propel large aircraft in the

"Mach 0.2-3.0 flight regime"



How PED's work: PED's use shock waves created in a detonation to compress

the fuel-oxidizer mixture prior to combustion. A cylinder chamber

designed to support the detonation is constructed with a flat forward end

which makes up the thrust wall. Air along with fuel is fed into the

engine from behind the thrust-wall. The detonation wave created travels

forward to the thrust wall at about Mach 4 and compresses the fuel-air

mixture, promotes supersonic combustion and causes a pressure rise in the

engine. The wave then strikes the thrust wall and rebounds accelerating

the combustion products towards the nozzle. Some of the products are

ejected by the wave to the outside air-stream through the air inlet

openings creating a toroidal vortex out side the engine. Then the cycle

repeats.



The said advantages of this type of engine are:

* Theoretically a higher fuel efficiency than a "constant pressure engine"

* Engines can be produced in many sizes and thrust outputs from a few

  inches in diameter at a thrust of several pounds to  larger one that can

  output in the thousands of pounds range.

* They have high thrust to weight ratio (ie.lighter engine, more thrust)

* They are mechanically simple, and have few moving parts.

* They could operate in or out of the atmosphere using fuel oxidizers.





There is very little information on the other reported aircraft. It is

reported as "A triangular-shaped, quiet aircraft". This craft has been

seen by many observers and flying with several F-117 stealth aircraft.

6.02: NASA Footage September 12th 1992

--------------------------------------

Space Ice or an alien craft dodging a missile. That's the big debate on

the footage taken by an unmanned camera on the 13th flight of OV-103

space shuttle Discovery. One sidec says that it is space Ice accelerated

by the space shuttles thrusters. The other side says the excelleration of

some the objects don't follow the correct paths don't match physics. They

speculate its a alien craft dodging a Starwars missile.



Main source: Sightings, FOX Network, airdate September 25, 1992



6.03: Planetoid (Wormwood)

--------------------------

Beyond Pluto astronomers believe there is a ring of ice chunks circling

the solar system 37 to 59 A.U. from the sun. They have called the ice

belt the Kuiper belt. Beyond that astronomers say there is a similarly

composed Oort cloud which forms a sphere around our planetary system that

stretches two light years in distance. A tiny red spot of light was

recorded in hawaii in October of 92,  which is thought to be the first

component of the Kuiper belt ever observed. The object was named 1992 QB1.

It is about 200 km across and 5.1 billion km away from the sun (41.2

a.u.). The object is fairly red, suggesting a surface rich in organics.

The current position is, for 0h UT on September 15, 1992:  0h 00.09+0d

01'.7 (2000.0). It is moving retrograde at only 3" per hour. David Jewitt

and Jane Luu discovered it using the University of Hawaii's 2.2-meter

telescope on Mauna Kea.  They have been searching for such an object for

the last five years. The first images were secured August 30, but just as

with the discovery of Pluto in 1930 the discovery was kept "under wraps"

for awhile to allow a better assessment. Jewitt believes it to be one of

the larger members of the Kuiper belt. Jewitt says that it will take two

months to confirm the object.



Another theory involving the planetoid comes to us from channelers. It is

a hollowed out body that was moved here by the Reptoids, in order to

transport an army of Grays or Reptoids. [sorry, I'm not sure which, I

haven't had a chance to research this in-depth] It is now  parked outside

the orbit of Pluto.  It is currently being used as a base by the

Reptoids.



Then there is also the theory that the planetoid may be the star that is

mentioned in the Bible as "Wormwood" (also translated as "bitterness");

which when the "third angel" in the book of Revelation blew his trumpet,

fell to the earth and poisoned one third of the earths waters.  Another

interesting fact is that "chernobyl" (as in the Nuclear power plant in

"Russia" that had a meltdown) in Ukranian also means Wormwood.

6.04: Project Blue Book

-----------------------

On Sep 30 ,1947  Lt General Twining of ACM expressed his opinion that there

was sufficient substance in reports to warrant a study on UFOs. On Dec.

23,1947 Project Sign was established to collect, collate, evaluate, and

disseminate all information concerning UFO sightings and phenomena.

Project sign completed it evaluations in Feb of 1949 and concluded "No

definite and conclusive evidence is yet available that would prove or

disprove the existence of these UFOs as real aircraft of unknown and

unconventional configuration." Project Sign was changed to Project Grudge

on Dec.16, 1948. Project Grudge recommended that the investigation and

study of UFO reports be reduce in scope. In early 1950 UFO reports by the

public increased. This prompted Project Grudge to be changed to Project

Blue Book in march of 1952.



Project Blue Book goals were to find out:

1: To find an explanation for all the reported sighting of UFO's.

2: To determine if the UFO posed any security threat to the United States.

3: To determine if UFO's exhibit any advanced technology which the U.S.

   could Utilize.



When the project ended the Air Force concluded:

1: There is no evidence that any UFOs are "extraterrestrial vehicles"

2: No UFO has ever given any indication of a threat to the national

   security.

3: There is no evidence that UFO's represent technological developments

   or principals beyond present-day scientific knowledge.



You can get the project Blue Book papers from Any Federal Repository which

has copies of National Archives material (there are various scattered

around the country). Or, you can go to the National Archives in

Washington, DC. They're on microfilm, like the Census records that

genealogists use.

6.05: Roswell Crash Incident

----------------------------

  The Roswell Incident started with sightings of UFOs on June 24, 1947. In

July 2,  of the sane year Mac Brazel heard a loud crash.  The next day he

went out Horseback riding with a neighbor and came upon a field with

debris scattered about.



 The debris field was 3/4 of a mile long and 300 feet wide. It was

oriented in a northwest to southeast direction.  There was a gouge in the

northwest side of the debris field that was 500 feet long and 10 feet

wide.  The debris on the field mostly consisted of I-beams and parchment

like, paper thin pieces of metal material. The material was very light in

weight, a dull gray in color, and most pieces were 6 to 7 inches in

length.  Some pieces that were even thinner that paper could not be

broken in half,  cut or burned.

  Mac Brazel collected several pieces of the debris and went back to his

ranch.  On July 6,  Brazel went into Roswell to report what he had seen

and to show a piece of the debris to sheriff Wilcox. The sheriff decided

to call the local air base. During this time Frank Joyce called in from

the local radio station to see if anything newsworthy was happening

around town. Brazel gave him the information about what he had found.

  Major Jesse A. Marcel and a few other military personal arrived from

the base only a few minutes after the sheriff had finished  talking to

the people at the base.  Brazel and the military personal left and went

back to the Ranch. The next morning (July 7) they went to the crash

sight. The military retrieved some of the debris and returned to Roswell.

  On July 8, the military came back and sealed off the area, They took

Brazel into custody.  That same day they found a second crash sight two

and 1/2 miles southeast of the first.  Barney Barnett and 4

archaeologists  had stumbled onto the new sight a few minutes before the

military had gotten there.  At the sight was found a "pretty good sized

metallic dull gray object" and 4 small alien bodies. They were 4 to 5

feet tall,  with large pair shaped heads, small bodies and skinny arms

and legs.  They had two large eyes,  no ears and no hair. Their skin was

pinkish grey and leathery.  They were wearing a one piece grey suits. The

civilians were escorted out of the area when the military arrived.



  On July 9th the military escorted Brazel to the radio station , there

he told Frank Joyce that he saw a weather balloon. He left again with the

military and didn't get back to his ranch until around July 15.  Later

when asked about what had happened Brazel said he had given a oath and

could not talk about it.

  The Incident remained closed and the public and  UFO research

organizations at large accepted the weather balloon story until 1970 when

Jesse A.  Marcel broke the silence and told his part in the story.

------------

7.01: E. T. Monitor (the Keystone Inspirational Network)

--------------------------------------------------------

   - A program that originates from Pennsylvania, it has a pre-recorded

and a live section. The person who runs it sells packets of books by

mail-order. He likes to think that he is presenting irrefutable proof not

only of the existence of UFOs but also of the Government's Conspiracy to

keep them secret and frequently features people like Randall Terry.

7.02: Arthur C. Clark's Mysterious World (Discovery channel)

----------------------------------------------------------

   - an early 1980's half-hour show hosted by the man himself. The show

7.04: In Search Of (A&E)

----------------------

  - a late 1970's half-hour show, currently in syndication

(on A&E, right now), hosted by Leonard Nimoy.  Each show took on a

different unusual phenomenon, and gave a thumbnail sketch of the story of

it.  The show's format was decidedly non-sceptical, with lines like "could

it be that <'believer' side>?"  and "some believe that <believer side>".

UFO-related shows include "UFO", "UFO Australia", "UFO Captives", "Earth

Visitors", and several others, along with various non-UFO things -- Loch

Ness Monster, Bigfoot, Killer Bees, Atlantis, Reincarnation, DB Cooper,

Shroud of Turin, and some fairly mundane things - Tornados, Volcanos, and

Earthquakes.  The Fox network show "Sightings" is very similar in theme,

but often devotes significantly less time to a given subject.

8.15: Revelations of Awareness

------------------------------

"Revelations of Awareness" published by Cosmic Awareness Communications

(CAC).



Revelations of Awareness is a Newsletter that covers UFO as they relate

to channeling and the New Age movement.  All the information given in the

newsletter is information recorded from channeling sessions. The format

of of the news letter begins with a question asked of the Cosmic

Awareness, then replies are given by the Awareness through the rest of

the news letter starting out with the phrase "This Awareness indicates..."



The following Statement appears at the top of every Issue:



Cosmic Awareness is the force that expressed Itself through Jesus of

Nazareth, the Buddha, Krishna, Mohammed, Edgar Cayce and other great

avatars who served as 'Channels' for the 'Heavenly Father' and who speaks

again today as the world begins to enter the 'New Age' of spiritual

consciousness and awareness. Since 1963 Cosmic Awareness has been

communicating through carefully trained channels. This information is for

those who desire to help in bringing in the new age. Throughout the

thousands of 'Readings' given through these various channels, Cosmic

Awareness tells us not to believe anything, but to question, explore,

doubt, and discover for yourself, through your own channel what is the

truth. Cosmic Awareness will only 'indicate' and 'suggest'. Neither C.A.C

or any of the Interpreters is responsible for anything Cosmic Awareness

states in any of these readings, nor does C.A.C. or the Interpreters

necessarily agree with the statements of Cosmic Awareness. The

interpreters interpret the energies as they see them in trance levels and

are not personally responsible for what is said. This is entirely the

responsibility of the editor. Members of C.A.C. are invited to send in

questions of general interest to ask Awareness for possible publication

in this newsletter.



Paul Shockley, Interpreter.

NASA Pics Sites

----------------

NOTE: the material at these sites is exceedingly voluminous;

I'd strongly suggest just getting the CD-ROMs instead of attempting

to transfer scores of gigabytes of pix and other material.



To access the online catalog of NASA material, CD-ROMS, et cetera:



    telnet nssdca.gsfc.nasa.gov

    login as "NODIS"

    no password



Anonymous ftp sites (five):



nssdca.gsfc.nasa.gov [128.183.10.4]



    This is a VAX/VMS box, so you must ftp-login as "anonymous".  To get

    a dir listing into a file on your system:



    ftp> dir [...] file_on_your_system



vab02.larc.nasa.gov



    lots of stuff, including Aliens of all colors, and UFO pix (though

this

    seems to mirror a lot of what's at phoenix.oulu.fi and has some

    additional material).



ames.arc.nasa.gov



    online copies of what appears to be all NASA's CD-ROMs, and lots of

    GIFs, *.img and *.jpg from most (all?) space missions since Apollo.



iris1.ucis.dal.ca



    dunno; it appears to be down today (Saturday, 18-July-1992).



archive.umich.edu



    apparently popular (and, hence, slow).  Is supposed to have many

    NASA and Voyager data files.

PO Box 61144, Durham, NC 27715-1144



11.39: North American Institute for Crop Circle Research (NAICCR)

------------------------------------------------------------------

NAICCR was formed in 1990 after requests for information about North

American crop circles had reached epidemic proportions.  UFOROM

associates, who had been regularly investigating reports and

discoveries of UGMs (Unusual Ground Markings), including traces very

similar to crop circles, responded to inquiries by formalising a sister

group devoted to research into UGMs.



NAICCR associates investigate UGMs rationally, and prepare reports on

their findings.  NAICCR distributes a list of known North American

UGMs, based on information provided to NAICCR by co-operative

researchers throughout the continent.  A comparable list of British UGMs

has never been available in this manner.  NAICCR also publishes an

annual report of North American UGM activity, with analyses and

commentary.



NAICCR will continue to function in the future at about the present

level of activity, though it would be preferred if UGM cases would

once again be studied as special cases of UFO cases, as was the case

before tthat category of UGMs was raised to a separate category because

of British research.  NAICCR may perhaps merge back with UFOROM, if this

is the case, since UFOROM had been investigating UGMs as a matter of

course.

History

ParaNet started on January 1, 1986 in a bulletin-board system called

"The Other Side" It was one of the first BBS that gathered together

various information for the pourpous of research on the paranormal.

Jim Speiser was the Director of ParaNet 1986-88 at the time and

wanted to bring together the three factions of paranormal debate

(the skeptics, the believers, and the undecided) for public

discussion of paranormal. He created ParaNet as neutral ground for

the exchange of information on the paranormal.In 1988 Speiser turned

over the directorship to Michael Corbin.



Current Status

ParaNet's basic goles are reflected in its motto:  "Answering Questions,

Questioning Answers". ParaNet offers investigator's raw material, in the

form of sighting reports, which comes from data supplied by the public.

The network concept provides the investigators and its users with immediate,

one-on-one contact, and instant access to a global communications medium.

ParNet also keeps it users informed major, fast-breaking stories involving

the paranormal. ParaNet can be accessed in six countries on three

continents.



The People of ParaNet

ParaNet provides access to experts through their electronic system. Its

research  branch is headed by Robert B. Klinn, a veteran investigator who

worked for the late Dr. J. Allen Hynek. ParaNet also provides a conference

on the UFO abduction experience hosted by Dr. David Jacobs, a UFO historian

and author. Many different groups and researchers of the paranormal use

Parenet for information exchange and discussion of ideas. Among some of them

are the Bay Area Skeptics, the South Shore Skeptics, Marge Christenson,

T. Scott Crain, Dan Drasin, Stan Gordon, Barry Greenwood, Budd Hopkins,

Linda Howe, Phil Imbrogno, Dr. David Jacobs, Dr. Donald Johnson, Philip Klass,

Bruce Maccabee, Maj. James McGaha, Dr. Mark Rodeghier, Robert Schaeffer,

Tracy Torme, and Dr. David Webb, Don Ecker, Vicki Cooper and and many others.



The Future of ParaNet

In the future ParaNet plans to expan their network to even more cournties,

increasing public education and scientific-oriented  research and

investigation unequaled in  the field. Their focus will be directed at

bringing various credible existing organizations from around the world into

a better orgonized research effort. ParaNet will also turn its attention to

more investigative  reporting. Paranet plans to acomplish this unser their

new organization known as  MICAP  (Multi-national Investigations Cooperative

on  Aerial Phenomena). (see MICAP) MICAP will be a separate non-profit

research/educational vehicle with investigative ability.

unusual sighting is  occurring for members to view, photograph and monitor

the object in real-time while not having to wait for an after-the-fact

presentation. This contacting of other SKYnet members that a sighting is

occurring is the only obligation of members. All calls from the public

receive an in-depth phone interview by an assigned SKYNET official and if

warranted, further field investigations are conducted.

Established in 1982. A tax-exempt group that investigates various

anomalies, including UFOs. Although its president Professor Peter Sturrock

of Stanford University, all contact with SSE should be made through

Laurence W. Fredrick. The goal of the SSE is to gain further understanding

of anomalous phenomena (including UFOs) and to share this knowledge with

the public. The Society considers anomalous phenomena to be incidents that

appear to contradict existing scientific knowledge; regarded by the

scientific community as being outside their established fields of inquiry.

They use the "Journal of Scientific Exploration" as an avenue to discuss

anomalous phenomena and present research results to the scientific and

scholarly community; its members are drawn from practitioners of science

who have acquired a first-hand knowledge and understanding of the

scientific process. The Society holds annual international meetings and

periodically scheduled regional meetings.

To promote co-operation, and to accommodate other levels of activity and

interest, the Society has created the categories of "Corresponding Member"

and "Associate".  "Associates" receive the "Journal of Scientific

Exploration" (two issues a year) and "The Explorer" (two issues a year). An

Associate may submit letters and other items for publication in the

Newsletter, may submit articles for publication in the Journal (each

article must be sponsored by a "Full Member"), and may attend Society

meetings by arrangement with a "Full Member". A person wishing to become an

"Associate" may do so by completing an Application Form and sending it with

a check for the annual dues to the Secretary.

"Full Membership" is reserved for those associated with major universities,

government entities or corporate research institutions who have an

established reputation in a traditional branch of science.

"Emeritus Membership" provides the privileges of Full Membership to

similarly qua]ified retirees at a lower annual rate.

"Student Membership" is limited to graduate students enrolled in academic

institutions.

"Corresponding Membership" is open to members of designated organizations.

A "Corresponding Member" receives, and is entitled to submit articles to

the "Journa] of Scientific Exploration".

UFO Research Australia

PO BOX 2435, CAIRNS QLD 4870

AUSTRALIA



Administrator:  Vladimir Godic

Research Director: Keith Basterfield

Secretary: Pony Godic

UFORA operate as a network of interested persons and groups, in al

Australian States, sharing the information they acquire. Vladimir Godic

co-ordinates general network administration and Keith Basterfield overall

research.



The aims of the network are:

(A) To stimulate Australian research into the UFO phenomenon, on a without

    prejudice basis, in order to better unerstand the causes(s) of the

    phenomenon.

(B) To aid research by promoting co-operation between interested parties.



The philosophy of the network can be best summarised by the term "Middle of

the Road". It is neither a collection of "avid believers" nor "confirmed

sceptics". Since its inception the network has consistently argued that the

UFO phenomenon is of interest to science, that it is amenable to study

following scientific method, and that valuable information may be gained

irrespective of the ultimate cause of the phenomenon.



Results of research are published via a bi-monthly Research Digest, a

periodical Journal, documents, catalogues and articles in a number of

leading overseas UFO journals.



There is no open membership of the network. However, individuals seriously

interested in the UFO phenomenon are invited to contact UFORA.

numerous organizations around the world in order to coordinate UFO research

and information.



11.65: Ufology Research of Manitoba (UFOROM)

--------------------------------------------

UFOROM is a private, non-profit and volunteer organisation which is

involved in rational discourse, investigation and research on UFOs and

related phenomena. It was formed in 1975.  All types of UFO-related

phenomena have been studied by UFOROM, including traces, crash-retrievals,

abductions and cattle mutilations.  In addition, some UFOROM associates

also study fortean and psychic phenomena.  UFOROM publishes an annual

survey of UFO activity in Canada, comparable to the Ferrughelli reports

on American cases.  Case data is provided by co-operative Canadian

researchers across Canada.



UFOROM is not open to general public membership.  However, independent

investigators and researchers throughout North America and particularly

in Canada are associated with UFOROM by way of their contributions of

case information and data from their own areas.  Such contributions are

welcomed and readily acknowledged by UFOROM.



Although UFOROM does not publish a journal or newsletter for general

distribution, associates frequently exchange information on an informal

basis.  This information is made available through articles and reports

published in UFO magazines or books, written or edited by UFOROM

associates.



UFOROM is associated with an irregular ufozine titled the SWAMP GAS

JOURNAL. [See UFO Publications section]  It is available in hard copy

through zine exchange or for a "cost" of one International Postal Reply

Coupon per issue.  As an experiment, the most recent issue also has

been made available in electronic format via INTERNET by posting a

request to: [e-mail]



UFOROM associates are involved with the J. Allen Hynek Center for UFO

Studies (CUFOS), the Mutual UFO Network (MUFON) and various other

organisations.  UFOROM functions independently, but operates with an

understanding of complete co-operation and information exchange with

interested and serious researchers in their specialised areas of

interest.



UFOROM is devoted to the rational and objective study of UFOs and

related phenomena, as well as other controversial phenomena such as

crop circles.  All views on these phenomena, including both proponent

and contrary standpoints, are considered.  In this regard, UFOROM

associates tend to engage in dialogue with both "believers" and

"debunkers".  It is hoped that such attempts to "bridge the gap"

between the two sides of the debate will encourage more constructive

discourse.



Correspondence for UFOROM can be snailmailed to:

Publishes the UNARIUS Light Magazine since1954.

A non-profit, New Age organization which has pioneered the teaching of Past

Life Therapy since 1954. This teaching is given to the student through a

curriculum that attunes the truth seeker to the high frequency energy

maintained by the authors, who are Advanced Spiritual Beings living on the

Inner Planes. UNARIUS receives most of its information and instructions

through channeling with the Higher Beings (Space Brothers). UNARIUS writes,

publishes, and distributes a complete course of study describing the New

Sciences of Life. This course material is covered over 100-plus texts of

the UNARIUS Academy of Sciences; augmented by over 100 video programs. The

course material covers missing piece's of man's prehistory, the enigma

surrounding the dilemma of unresolved problems in science, politics and

religion, and the future for mankind in the 21st century.

Class sessions are held at the UNARIUS Center on Wednesdays & Sundays at

7:00 p.m.; class fee is S10.00. Some courses are also available on TV

stations throughout California. All of the materials are directly related

to the UNARIUS goal of achieving Higher Awareness.

One of this group's main tenets is that there are superior extraterrestrial

forces which control the Earth's destiny and which know the fate of

mankind. With the teachings provided by UNARIUS, they feel that each person

can become cosmically attuned to higher spiritual forces and can become

aware of Reality and what is in store for humans. UNARIUS teaches that the

Interplanetary Confederation, a coalition of 33 existing planets, is

building 33 spacecraft that will form a giant city and will descend to

Earth in the year 2001. This "building" or "city" will descend on land

purchased for this purpose in the southern California area and will be a

gathering spot for people to come and learn about Cosmic Awareness.

In addition to students, interested parties can join UNARIUS for $50.00 per

year.

"Australian Flying Saucer Research Society" and later that year was

reorganised as the "Victorian Flying Saucer Research Society" with

Mr. Peter E. Norris L.L.B. as President. In 1968 the name was again

altered - this time to the "Victorian U.F.O. Research Society".

The current executive has been in place since 1978.

The Society has held a dispassionate attitude on U.F.O.s, claiming

it is a scientific problem deserving closer attention.

Membership of this Society - which maintains the largest membership

of any U.F.O. organisation in the Southern Hemisphere - is open to

all who are genuinely interested in the subject.



Significant cases studied:

        - The Frederick Valentich disappearance (1978).  Frederick

Valentich was a twenty year old member of the Royal Australian Air

Force who disappeared on a solo private flight across Bass Strait

after radioing that an object was hovering on top of his Cessna 182.



        - The Knowles Family Encounter.  The case of a family on a

car trip across the Nullarbor Plain in South Australia who were

buzzed by a UFO that at one stage lifted the Knowles car into the

air only to drop it to the road seconds later.
