See you there. You didn't, I wasn't; sometimes it happens that way... It really isn't the Linda case that I was interested in though. On another net we've been discussing/brainstorming/wish-listing what it would take to bring Abduction out of the closet (so to speak). During that process we more or less settled on two important items. The first was that it is breaking out of the closet sort of on its own, in more ways than one, partly due to media popularity and certainly in part due to the work of you and others (Hopkins, etc.) coupled with the data implied by the Roper poll. With that first item tending to dominate the forefront of the thinking we then realized that there might very well be well-intentioned and well-meaning folks out there somewhere who might try to use hard science in their endeavors... And they might try to do that more or less on their own. So, we have pretty much decided on developing a reference/source document, a standalone document, that could be used by virtually any literate professional wishing to push the envelope regarding the hard-data side of the issue. Our document will look something (only slightly) like this: Introduction Abduction History/Anthology The Abduction Surveillance Project ... Project Team Selection... Data Acquisition Methods... Data Acquisition Equipment... Data Acquisition Equipment Sources... ... Please note I _am not_ requesting a journalistic response from you regarding general content or organization of the formal document nor am I requesting overview comments. (However, please feel free to provide them if you think they will contribute to the objectives as stated.) Let me couch my request as follows: On the one hand we have folks, abductees or otherwise (yourself included) who are within a hair certain that alien beings from some other place are arriving here in spaceships and they are abducting humans for the purpose of some sort of genetic experimentation. (And this may very well be exactly what is happenning.) On the other hand we have that Toastmaster of Titilation, the Philster Himself, the Klassmiester, who wouldn't acknowledge an implant if he passed one. Somewhere inbetween, and much closer to the other hand, are about 99% of the scientific community and about 90% of the general population. How do we change that? We think we change that situation by wiring an Abductee, and their living quarters, with just about every piece of gear we can get. We are assuming that we have unlimited funding, the so-called Grand Design, and then we plan to incrementally reduce the scope of the project to the point just prior to which the data acquired is worthless. We plan to document each version of the Design, (including specific equipment requirements, sources of acquisition by geographic location, installation instructions, etc.), so that (as anticipated) someone out there can pick this source document off the shelf and actually begin the process of discrete scientific monitoring with some hope of credibility. Here are my specific requests of you: 1 - We have decided and affirmed that the Project Team should be headed by a professional psychiatrist who will directly and exclusively interface with the Abductee. Do you agree with this decision Yes/No, and why? 2 - We have decided and affirmed that a pre-teen Abductee, (strictly within the scope of #1 above), is the best possible choice as the Subject of the Project. Do you agree with this decision Yes/No, and why? 3 - What is _the_ most important bit of hard data that you would like to have? (Videotape, photograph, radar, anomolous magnetic field in bedroom, anomolous microwave field in bedroon, physically attached transponder on Abductee registering high altitude...???) I thank you in advance for wading through this. We might be completely off target (I don't think we are) but I think there could very well be a bunch of folks (in the making) who are competent enough to want to do something but who just need a reference document to point the way... Thanks, take care.
