Well, is it possible that at least some of those are people just jumping on the proverbial bandwagon in an effort to get some sort of attention? It wouldn't be that hard for someone to say "Oh yeah, I saw that too!".

That's what debunkers do, I guess, for whatever JH> reasons they feel they have to debunk. I wonder why debunkers are the way they are.. they have this huge, immense, paranoia of any remote possibility that aliens exist.. Probably the type that gets culture shock way too easily. Well, I can say with absolute certainity that UFO's exist.. The reason I say this is because UFO stands for "Unidentified Flying Object".. they ARE unidentified flying objects. What they are is the question. -- Tyson Mitchiner - via FidoNet node 1:30163/0 UUCP: !scicom!paranet!User_Name INTERNET: Tyson.Mitchiner@f134.n109.z1.FIDONET.ORG -------------------------------------------------------------------- From: Kurt.Lochner@p22.f66.n147.z1.FIDONET.ORG (Kurt Lochner) Subject: Traffic reports, rush hour.. Date: 5 Jul 90 14:16:07 GMT > Oh, come on, Kurt, I didn't mean for the veterans to > shut up! :-) Holy cattle mutilations, Blatman! Have I been doing this for that long? Geez, I guess it keeps me offa the streets. Hey, thanks for the clue about the IUR, was wondering what that acronym was... I take it that you've noticed Adam-Stanislav's retorts to Timmy B's psuedo-moderations of late? And A-S's gotten peeved about the "intellectual content" of his echo, I wonder if he's beginning to get hip to why we banned that kind of "problem" over here on Paranet.... Veteran? Now I'll have to go back and load in the older texts and MT.ARC's to see how long I've been pumping this bilge out, hehehe.... Oh yeah, did I tell you that I talked to Timmy one fine evening? He explained his activities as being purposely provocative, sent me a Pawlicki.txt on hyperspace. Text was long/tedious and very little of it was about hyperspace, someday I'll finish reading it and report a little about it. Seems Timmy is quite the independent thinker/tinker and can be a serious listener. I spent the better part of the hour explaining the physical processes that must be involved with the current UFO drives. He was all ears there, but still difficult to talk with, as far as getting a word in edgewise, not unlike his postings over on Fido UFO. Still, he seemed kinda pleasant when confronted with his arrogant aroma, wonder what else he's posted today... ....and? -- Kurt Lochner - via FidoNet node 1:30163/0 UUCP: !scicom!paranet!User_Name INTERNET: Kurt.Lochner@p22.f66.n147.z1.FIDONET.ORG -------------------------------------------------------------------- From: Daniel.Wisnosky@f725.n209.z1.FIDONET.ORG (Daniel Wisnosky) Subject: Re: Traffic reports..

The purpose of this work is to establish a common understanding and the creation of standards among the various interested scietific, research and investigative groups, organizations and persons who have a serious interest in gaining an understanding of the UFO mystery. The late Dr. J. Allen Hynek strongly urged a unified front be established among the scientific community to study the overwhelming data coming in. ParaNet, through its international computer network, can provide the necessary link to the UFO community that will overcome geographic and institutional borders to bring everyone together under one roof to achieve a unified front. Our plans are nearly complete. Over the last year, we have been working toward bridging the gap between the various organizations in the United States and overseas. Communications represents the biggest setback that the UFO research community has experienced. The need for an open and free exchange of information has been sufficiently demonstrated as the answer to forward momentum in this important research. At this time, ParaNet is forming a Board of Review. This Board's main function would be to promulgate investigative standards for UFO researchers that operate through ParaNet. To develop criteria for characterizing events as anomalous and relevant; to apply the scientific method in reviewing cases submitted to the Board; to issue ratings of cases using the ParaNet rating scheme (or whatever suitable scheme the Board devises on its own); and to advise ParaNet as to what can and cannot be said about a particular case, from the scientific standpoint, when we are called upon to divulge details of a case to the media. As to the "Estimate," ParaNet is accepting thesis papers from all serious researchers who wish to contribute to this future release. We are interested in covering all aspects of UFOlogy with emphasis upon the historicity of the phenomenon, propulsion and guidance theories, theological aspects, abduction phenomenon, cattle mutilations, etc. This release is being sent via ParaNet's electronic network and through U.S. Mail to various research people who have specialized fields of study. Contributions can be sent to ParaNet via several methods as listed below. The deadline for this is July 31, 1990.
