Operation Right to Know

WHO ARE WE?

Operation: Right to Know is a group of citizens united by the
conviction that the solution to the UFO "mystery" lies in political
action. Private groups have done a heroic job for over 40 years
documenting UFO sightings and trying to educate the public with very
limited resources. Despite their decades of hard work, however, the
publicis still largely in the dark.

One enormous barrier stands in the way of full public disclosure: The
U.S. government's 40-year policy of withholding and confusing the facts
of extraterrestrial contact. As long as this policy remains unchanged,
the truth will never be fully revealed. We demand full disclosure of
government UFO secrets and an open, public inquiry into the phenomenon.
We charge that the government's policy of tightly restricting UFO data,
however well-intentioned it originally may have been, causes far more
harm than simply telling the truth.

Operation: Right to Know held its first demonstration on March 28 in
front of the White House, the first public protest against UFO secrecy
on record. We will conduct a much larger "March on Washington" onJuly
5, 1993, following the MUFON symposium in nearby Richmond, Virginia.

Throughout the year, we will hold smaller demonstrations at major UFO
hotspots and secret government research sites, and keep the pressure on
lawmakers through letter campaigns, educational materials, and
lobbying. Grassroots sentiment to compel the government to reveal its
secret UFO files has been growing recently. Most citizens involved in
the UFO field are political novices, but a growing network is gaining
an education in political action. Our hope is that a highly visible
political campaign against UFO secrecy may enlist support from quarters
that have previously beem silent on the issue. Popular demonstrations
may also indicate to U.S. policymakers that the people are ready for
the extraordinary news that has been withheld from them.

We intend to spark demonstrations in many locales, organized at first
by UFO enthusiasts, but eventually involving all citizens concerned
about freedom of inquiry and our planet's future. Operation: Right to
Know will provide networking and support for these activities.

A bulletin, The Right to Know Forum, describing our activities is
available now, and will soon develop into a regular newsletter with
exciting news from around the country. For free copies of past issues
of The Right to Know Forum, and further information on how you can
