Here is Len's mailing address: Len Stringfield 4412 Grove Avenue Cincinnati, OH 45227 The last time I talked to him, he was still working with MUFON and publishing a crash retrieval update.

If so, can anyone provide details (organization or -+ institution, -+ personnel involved, publications resulting, etc.)? What about the -+ U. S. -+ Government -- e.g., is there any evidence that DARPA or other -+ research -+ agencies have even so much as funded surveys in this area? In -+ responding, -+ please remember that my question focuses on APPLIED research and -+ development, not theoretical physics. Thanks for the input. -+ ------- I don't know of anything being done along these lines, and I would tend to doubt it. I think the vast majority of scientists accept that time travel is impossible. However, one gentleman claims that it is not only possible, but that it has been successfully accomplished via a government project known as "Project Phoenix." His name is Al Bielek, and he talks about it in the taped speech that ParaNet is offering. Basically, he claims that Project Phoenix took place in an underground facility near Montauk, Long Island. The head of the project was John von Neumann, who isn't really dead, you understand. It sounds like the stuff of bad sci-fi, but Bielek seems like such a credible, rational person. The tape is worth it, if only as a case study in how easy it is to be convincing, even when you're telling a whopper. As I mentioned, I hope to do a follow-up interview with Bielek in the near future.

I agree with Wilson that Gardner is among the worst of the worst at CSICOP. He seems every bit as dogmatic as a Creationist. One question, though. Wilson laments that no one has disproved Reich's theories in a scientific journal. Has anyone shown them to be "consistent with reality" in a scientific journal? Scientists shouldn't be called upon to disprove EVERY theory that comes along, merely the ones that seem to have some validity at first. For instance, has anyone proven in a refereed journal that Pluto is NOT made of lime sherbet?

Many thanks for your -+ help in this matter. -+ Very sorry I misspelled your surname in a previous message. Quite alright, Mr. Goddich. :-) We're flattered that our rating system will be incorporated into another UFO database. It is currently used internally by MUFON as well, which is fine with us, but they call it the Speiser Rating. I would prefer that it be referred to as the ParaNet/Hynek Rating.

PLEASE INDICATE YOUR FORMAT ANYWHERE ON THE REPLY FORM. If you do not indicate a tape format, VHS will be assumed. We have VHS and Beta, I am checking on 8mm, and PAL is a good possibility for you fellas down under.

As these signals (well, actually radiation might be a better word) are so powerful, he has deduced that this must be the outpouring of energy from some alien industry, and that it is evidently such a grand affair, these aliens must live on another planet altogether....that is, not on the same planet as that which 'houses' their industry.
