Sometimes I’m asked by both sincere and insincere people to somehow prove to them that UFOs or abductions are real, worth studying, etc (note that I differentiate this challenge from proving that “aliens” are real, or exist – this site defines the “alien” presence differently than most abduction believers).
Indeed, any attempt to teach or warn about the “deceptive” or “sinister” nature of these beings is surely worthless to many, without making the case that the phenomenon is in fact real. While a good question, I’m reminded of the text on the cover of Mike Heiser’s Facade which states that “Most people don’t really want the truth ; they’re just looking for answers that confirm their prejudices.” This is true on both sides of the belief issue. Far too many people have the attitude “Don’t confuse me with the facts, my mind is already made up.”
At the risk of being crass, ignorance of available information is the ONLY possible excuse one can use for making a statement such as “There is no evidence that UFOs and/or abductions are real.”
But for those willing to honestly study the issues and make up their minds only after examining the available evidence…
Below are pretty much the best sources I can point a person to as an introduction, broken up into two groups – (a) best documentation that UFOs are real AND that world governments are aware of them, and (b) best documentation that abductions are real, and probably happening to people you know (one in 40 is the median number published by University studies, and Roper & Gallup polls from 1990 – present). There are many links at right as well >>>>
Note however, that I am also not implying that these phenomena are as directly related as many UFO and abduction believers believe them to be. There may be almost NO direct correlation in fact, although the people and entities behind them do SEEM to make them overlap, for what could only be described as “sinister” or “deceptive” purposes. (Continued below…)
| Among modern authors, nobody has done a better job of documenting the UFO “paper trail” than Richard Dolan (1*), and before him I’d say that honor went to Timothy Good (2). Mike Heiser (3) condenses an amazing amount of documentation from various sources (in novel format), and Bill Lynne (4) makes a good case for the existence – but earthly origin – of at least many UFOs. | |||

| Probably one but definitely any two of the above books should make the case for (at bare minimum) the REALITY of UFOs (whatever their nature) for any “honest skeptic.”
Well worth mentioning also are Clifford Stone’s UFOs Are Real, John Greenewald’s Beyond UFO Secrecy*, Jim Marrs’ Alien Agenda and perhaps Vesco & Hatcher-Childress’s Man-Made UFOs. (*)For interested parties, Richard Dolan, John Greenewald and others spoke at the Ancient of Days conference in Roswell NM, hosted by Alien Resistance. DVDs now avaiable. |
|||
| A little harder to pin down because of the nature of the experience, the abduction phenomenon has nonetheless been well documented as well – by HIGHLY CREDENTIALED PEOPLE. Because of their credentials, I first submit/suggest John Mack’s (Harvard University, Pulitzer Prize recipient) Abduction (1), followed by David Jacob’s (Temple University) books Secret Life (2) & The Threat (3). Finally if not firstly, C.D.B. Bryan’s Close Encounters of the Fourth Kind (M.I.T. Conference report) is a definite “must-read” standard as well. | |||

| Skeptics will be forced to ask why men of such reputation, would risk them entirely to publish books on this topic, unless they were certain they were dealing with a real phenomenon – and further – feel a need to share their findings with peers and a critical world? I’m sure they would all tell you the money is not worth what they’ve endured, to bring this subject to greater public attention and credibility. | |||
(Continued from above)
“…for what could only be described as “sinister” or “deceptive” purposes…”
While tougher to determine, these purposes possibly relate to such conspiracy theories as One-World Government (tricking the world into believing we are under attack by hostile aliens, thus forcing a one-world government, religion, currency, power structure, etc) and/or spiritual deception (i.e., inviting humanity to abandon religious norms to join some “galactic brotherhood,” and promising a utopian age on earth – in contradiction to a more Biblical description of what is to come.
Indeed, the only hesitation to even posting many of the books and links listed on this page is that some could in fact “fall for” ideas these (allegedly) alien beings are perpetrating. Ultimately however, people simply must be allowed access to all available information, and in the final analysis, make up their own minds about what such information means to them.
I must “disclaim” that I (and most affiliated links from this site) do not necessarily agree with the CONCLUSIONS many of the researchers posted here, but do recommend that any skeptical or unconvinced person examine the documented research in these fields, then begin asking tougher questions about what it all means. We hope the information presented on this and affiliated sites can help in that regard. You may soon find yourself on a journey of asking many more questions about the nature of reality itself.
Again, I hope the remaining pages of this site will prove helpful in that endeavor also, and also remind you that certain of the research experts above will be in conference and “panel discussion” with the authors of this site – see
“For honest skeptics who don’t believe the UFO & Abduction Phenomena are real, this conference will prove it to you. For honest believers willing to explore what such a presence might mean, this conference will astound you!”

Web Sources
General Ufology * I have chosen only those websites I view as conducting serious, sober research into the UFO phenomenon. However, inclusion here does not mean endorsement.
The CUFOS homepage (www.cufos.org). CUFOS stands for “The Center for UFO Studies.” According to its own website, “The Center for UFO Studies (CUFOS) is an international group of scientists, academics, investigators, and volunteers dedicated to the continuing examination and analysis of the UFO phenomenon. Our purpose is to promote serious scientific interest in UFOs and to serve as an archive for reports, documents, and publications about the UFO phenomenon.”
The MUFON homepage (http://hotx.com/ansen/mufon/core.nclk).
MUFON stands for the Mutual UFO Network. It is a grassroots organization of volunteers and scientific organization “composed of people seriously interested in studying and researching the phenomenon known as Unidentified Flying Objects (UFOs) by combining their mutual talents, areas of expertise and investigative efforts.”
The National UFO Reporting Center (www.ufocenter.com). This site is dedicated to data gathering and archiving UFO sightings from around the US.
The CSETI homepage (www.cseti.org). CSETI stands for the Center for the Study of Extraterrestrial Intelligence. The organization is headed by Dr. Steven Greer, whose focus is the gathering of congressional testimony about UFOs and Top Secret military projects that may be related to them.
The CAUS homepage (www.caus.org/home.html).
CAUS stands for Citizens Against UFO Secrecy, and is an organization headed by attorney Peter Gersten. CAUS believes, among other things, that “the people have an absolute and unconditional right to know about ET contact,” and that “it is through the judicial process that the truth will be set free and secrecy ended.” To this end CAUS lobbies congress for legislation that would exempt government employees who claim (mostly off the record) to have direct knowledge of extraterrestrial contact and technology from their security oaths of silence.
The Black Vault (www.blackvault.com). This is the motherlode for genuine government documents relating to the UFO phenomenon. The site consists of its owner’s scanned Freedom of Information Act requests, the scanned responses, and text-conversions of those scans. Literally tens of thousands of pages (most of which are unspectacular) demonstrate both the military’s disingenuous attitude toward the UFO phenomenon and its own documented experiences.
UFO Mind (www.ufomind.com). The master index for anything related to UFOs – people, places, events, concepts, military involvement, etc. If you can’t find something on a UFO topic here, give up.
Stan Friedman’s homepage
(www.v-j-enterprises.com/sfpage.html). Friedman gets the credit for bringing Roswell to the public’s attention. By training a nuclear physicist, Friedman is also meticulous archive researcher and textual critic of government documents. He’s one of the few credible ufologists who contends that the MJ-12 documents are genuine.
The National Institute for Discovery Science (http://www.nidsci.org/). NIDS represents the best in professional, scientific inquiry into UFOs and other paranormal topics. The organization is staffed by experts with PhDs, MDs, or DVMs in their respective fields, and also employs former FBI and other law enforcement officials in its investigative arm. Some of the best, most up-to-date information you’ll find anywhere – without the quackery. Excellent resource for propulsion system analysis and government or privately-funded reports (see below) on the psycho-social impact that intelligent extraterrestrial life would have on humanity.
COMETA report (http://aerial.itlnet.net/cometa_report.htm). The 1999 findings of the French government into the UFO problem. Concludes that the extraterrestrial hypothesis is plausible. COMETA is the first serious “official” public report into the UFO phenomenon that isn’t dismissive of the subject. The above link is a summation in English.
Brookings Report
http://www.enterprisemission.com/brooking.html
http://www.nidsci.org/articles/articles1.html
This is the congressional report that concluded our religious and scientific paradigms would be irreparably damaged by an ET reality. Brookings was written forty years ago, and has been supplanted in the minds of many by the Bigelow/Alexander report (see below).
Bigelow / Alexander Report http://www.nidsci.org/articles/alexander/survey_religion.html
The NIDS report that deals with the impact of an ET reality on the world’s major religions.
Abduction Phenomenon
Whitley Strieber’s homepage / Dreamland Radio Show Website (www.whitleysworld.com). Whitley is one of the world’s most famous abductees. His experiences are chronicled in several best-selling books, such as Communion, Transformation, and Majestic. Whitley’s website is also the place to go to access the STS videos mentioned in The Facade.
Budd Hopkins’ homepage / the Intruders Foundation (www.intrudersfoundation.org). Budd Hopkins is the pioneer of abduction research. As John Mack (see below) notes: “For twenty years, New York artist Budd Hopkins has carefully investigated reports of abduction by aliens.” In 1989 Hopkins founded the Intruders Foundation (IF), devoted to research and public education concerning the UFO abduction phenomenon. He is known for his investigation of many aspects of the abduction experience, including episodes of missing memory (dubbed “missing time,” in his pioneering book of the same name).”
Dr. John Mack’s homepage / the PEER homepage (www.peer-mack.org). Dr. Mack is a psychiatry professor at Harvard University and author of several works relating to his study of the alien abduction experience. As part of his research efforts, he founded PEER (the Program for Extraordinary Experience Research). As the above homepage notes: “PEER’s work is motivated by the understanding that expansions of human knowledge come with the exploration of unexplained phenomena. Recognizing the social barriers to the study of anomalies, the program seeks to foster conditions for candid inquiry through careful observation, open dialogue, and development of a network of compassionate support for experiencers.”
Dr. Roger Leir (www.AlienScalpel.com/main.htm). Dr. Leir is a podiatrist who also specializes in the surgical removal of implants from victims of alleged alien abductions. Dr. Leir has performed such removals live on television, and also has videotapes of other removals available.
Cattle Mutilations
Linda Moulton Howe’s homepage (www.earthfiles.com) – Ms. Howe is the recognized expert on cattle mutilations. She is a three-time Emmy Award-winning TV producer, investigative reporter and author. Aside from her ongoing research, she authored a book on the subject of cattle mutilations, A Strange Harvest, which is also available in video form.
