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.

parties, Richard Dolan, John Greenewald and others spoke at the

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
www.AncientofDays.net
"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!"

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 (https://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 (https://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 (https://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
https://www.enterprisemission.com/brooking.html
https://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
https://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.
