Below are the first efforts of compiling a Frequently Asked Questions
File (FAQ). It was compiled with Internet in mind, but it has a lot of
useful information. ParaNet will be working on one as well.
There are some typos in the FAQ postings, so please overlook that.

Line width is about 75 char.
Hello and welcome to the first posting of the alt.alien.visitors
Frequently Asked Questions. 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? well I hope to
include more viewpoints as this FAQ grows.) 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.

=== 0.1: 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
matthews_k@cubldr.colorado.edu and
is taken from
mwauford@UTKUX1.UTK.EDU (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
matthews_k@cubldr.colorado.edu:
[revised by
Fsdlk@acad3.alaska.edu]
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
== 0.4: 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.

=== 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 weak questions, but mean well)
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!)

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.

2:03: 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.

3.02: 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: 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.

3.06: 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
UFO ... Contact from the Pleiades Supplementary Investigation Report
Message From the Pleiades Vol 1 & 2 Light Years
There are 4 videos available on the Pleiades case.
Contact $59.
The Beamship Trilogy $99.
The videos are available from:

=== 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. [I'll give these late when I have
time]
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.
For anyone who is interested in abduction help 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 10th
---------------------------------
Space Ice or an alien craft dodging a missile. That's the big debate on
the footage taken by an unmanned camera on the space shuttle. One side
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.

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.

I was done. :-(]

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.

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.

NOTE: the material at these sites is exceedingly voluminous;

login as "NODIS"

Anonymous ftp sites (five):

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.

education projects dealing with the UFO phenomenon. Since 1979 has
raised more than $150,000.00 from more than 2000 contributors. Also
sponsors and awards the annual Donald E. Keyhoe Journalism Award."
The Fund sponsors such projects the release of U.S. Government
documents concerning UFOs under the Freedom of Information
Act,computer-aided analysis of UFO photographs, research into major UFO sightings around the world, research into "Operation Majestic 12", psychological testing of people who reported being abducted by apparent
aliens, international symposiums and conducts interviews and lectures.
The Fund takes the position that many reported UFOs cannot be
identified as conventional aerial vehicles or phenomena. Thus, UFO
reports are potentially of enormous significance and merit serious
scientific research.

11.37: 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.

Founded in 1986
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.

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.

11.62: 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:
rutkows@ccu.umanitoba.ca
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.

619-447-4170
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.

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.
