NASA'S E.T. EXPOSURE LAW REPEALED

A so-called "Extraterrestrial Exposure Law" passed by Congress in 1969 gave NASA the ability to indefinitely quarantine any person thought to have been exposed, even indirectly, to extraterrestrial artifacts, environments or life forms. Some UFO researchers have suggested that this law could be applied to alleged UFO abductees.

However, CNI News has learned that law was repealed in 1991. Thanks to Slavko Mattes (slavkom@use.com) for sending us this excerpt from the Federal Register, Vol. 56, No. 81 of Friday, April 26, 1991:
