    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.

    support in order to keep this organization in existence.

    We are offering yearly club memberships. For $20.00 you

    on the subject every month. Another $2.00 will get you a
    catalogue of many U.F.O. magazines and books available from us

    Kindly send a postal money order (money orders only please)

    To Whom It May Concern


    UFORIC - U.F.O. Research Institute of Canada is pleased to
    announce its services to the civilian, medical, governmental, police
    and military communities.

    We maintain a 24 hour REPORTING AND NEWS DISSEMINATION SERVICE
    on our HOTLINE. All incoming calls and information disclosed to us
    is held in strictest confidence, never leaving the office of the
    director or shown to others without the expressed permission of the
    confidant.

    As a non-profit organization, we depend on contributions to
    maintain our services as well as doing on-site research with
    monitoring equipment. Any donations of $20.00 and over will entitle
    you to club membership for one year. Every month you will receive
    material in the mail on the U.F.O. phenomena.

    Our government has had two official documented studies on
    the subject of flying saucers. They even set up an observation
    post with electromagnetic detectors at Shirley Bay in the province
    of Ontario. Canada now has an astronomical data collection agency
    in Victoria, British Columbia.

    An item we are currently offering consists of two interesting
    recordings on one audio tape. The first part consists of a live
    conversation recorded by American BASE COMMANDER HALT at Woodbridge,
    England. Halt, Lieutenant Bruce Englund, Major Zickler and Sergeant
    Nevells were taking radiation readings at a landing site in a forest
    close by. Suddenly they saw several U.F.O.s fly near them and they
    became very frightened. Former Woodbridge Base Commander Colonel
    Sam Morgan released the audiotape to British Solicitor Harry Harris
    in 1984.

    Following this, we have inserted a completely different
    recording of what we believe to be an extraterrestrial voice
    pleading for help four times. This tape came to us during our
    research of a family who on several occasions encountered U.F.O.s.
    The father is a prominent local businessman. His wife made a
    recording on audio tape which she planned to send to friends in
    Australia. After finishing she played it back and was disappointed
    to find distortions in her voice throughout the tape. Strangely
    it was only in the parts where she spoke about U.F.O.s Her husband
    made a HIGH SPEED DUBBING, and oddly enough, it came out with her
    voice in slow motion overlaid by another eerie voice pleading for
    help four times. At this time we are trying to determine if it
    has voice print.

    We will send you these recordings, one audio cassette
    for $15 (Money order). Please send postal money orders to:
    Lorne Goldfeather, Dept. 25 - 1665 Robson St., Vancouver, B.C.,
    V6G 3C2, Canada.
