40 Questions for Scientists Who Care About Truth

Joe Firmage, November 22, 2001

Having studied the UFO mystery for many years, I have many important questions. Most of them are focused on the long-term, transformational implications of the remarkable phenomena reported. Other questions relate to our understanding of 20th century history and the present circumstance human civilization. I share with you below some of these latter questions, with the hope that they may at least open your mind, and at most engage you in a shared quest to open what may be among the grandest future chapters in our ancient saga.  R

A New Start on the Whole UFO Problem? Review of Hynek's 'The UFO Experience'

Joachim P. Kuettner, Astronautics and Aeronautics, November 1973

"The UFO Experience" no doubt represents the best and most objective introduction to the UFO problem available.

A Testable Astronautical Theory for UFO Events

T. Roy Dutton

This article is about work to probe phenomena currently regarded as taboo by the pillars of modern science. As a result, it has suffered hostility and summary dismissal for more than twenty years. Nevertheless, as will become apparent, the discoveries being claimed have resulted from long-term objective and detailed processing of the best available data. It is hoped that, some day, they may be considered to be of significance.  R

Alien Intelligence? Think Again

Guillermo Gonzalez, Space.com, 29 February 2000

Skeptical article on ET intelligence. "The existence of extraterrestrial intelligence (ETI) has been debated since the ancient Greeks. Over the last few decades, both intellectual and public opinion have been decisively in the pro-ETI camp. Unfortunately, the debate has taken place on a very slanted playing field, at least in the United States." R

Area 51, A History and Update

Dennis Balthaser

For a place that doesn’t officially exist, Area 51 has been referred to by a lot of names over the years. This article provides a history and overview of the secret military installation at Area 51.

Area 51: Still Above the Law

Dennis Balthaser, 10/05/03

Since 1955 the United States has developed and maintained a secret military base 85 miles northwest of Las Vegas, Nevada, known by several names, such as Groom Lake, Dreamland, the Box and the most popular name, “Area 51.” President Dwight D. Eisenhower signed an executive order on August 19, 1955, restricting the air space over Groom Lake, Nevada, which is still heavily in force today.

Beyond Great UFO Photos: An Inquiry Into the Billy Meier Case

Michael Horn, UFO Magazine, Volume 14, No. 3

A nondescript farmer in Switzerland purports to have taken the most stunning group of UFO photographs ever. Since the advent of his claimed contacts with ETs from the Pleiades in the mid-'70s, Eduard Billy Meier and his photographs have been alternately revered and reviled, depending on whom you talk to. For the first time in UFO Magazine, a Meier aficionado gets into fundamentals, not photos: "Pleiadian" philosophy—and prophecy.

Billy Meier Case: A Refutation of false Claims and Distortions by Korff

James W. Deardorff, Research Professor Emeritus, Oregon State University

In his book, Spaceships of the Pleiades: The Billy Meier Story (Prometheus Press, 1995), Kal. K. Korff makes masses of claims against the reality of Eduard Meier’s contact experiences. Thus the reader who is unfamiliar with the research by Wendelle Stevens, Lee & Brit Elders, Thomas Welch, Jim Dilettoso and Gary Kinder on the Meier case, and unfamiliar with Korff’s background, may mistakenly think Korff’s claims are valid simply due to their sheer number.

Close Encounter with Dr. J. Allen Hynek - An Interview With The Dean

J. Allen Hynek with Dennis Stacy, 1985

For over two decades, from 1948 to 1969, Dr. J. Allen Hynek was a consultant in astronomy to the United States Air Force. The subject of his advice, however, was not the fledgling space program or even the moon and stars above, but Unidentified Flying Objects. In 1973 he founded the Center for UFO Studies (CUFOS) and had serves as Director and editor of its journal, "International UFO Reporter." The following is an interview with Hynek by researcher Dennis Stacy.

Contact: More Than Just a Film

Correspondence with Dr. Thornton Page regarding the CIA Robertson Panel

CUFON

While doing other research, we discovered that there was only one surviving scientist-member of the Scientific Advisory Panel On Unidentified Flying Objects, (commonly known as "The Robertson Panel.") This person was Dr. Thornton Page. We were able to exchange letters with Dr. Page. We believe that these letters, and the other material provided by Dr. Page, provide a unique view into the Robertson Panel and surrounding circumstances, and Dr. Pages' views and actions relating to the subject of UFOs.

Cosmic Deception: Let the Citizen Beware

Steven M. Greer M.D., Director, CSETI & The Disclosure Project

Maybe - people will take seriously, however farfetched it may seem at first, the prospect that a shadowy, para-governmental and transnational entity exists that has kept UFOs secret - and is planning a deception and tragedy that will dwarf the events of 9/11. R

Credibility

Dennis Balthaser, 03/01/99

Credible, according to the dictionary is defined as, "1. capable of being believed; believable: a credible statement, and 2. worthy of belief or confidence ; trustworthy: a credible witness". Volumes could be written merely on that one word as it relates to the 1947 Roswell Incident.

Drake's factors irrelevant in our lonely galaxy

The Toronto Star, Dec. 7, 2003

In 1961, American astronomer Frank Drake developed his famous equation for estimating the number of technologically advanced civilizations in the galaxy. However, more and more scientists are having their doubts about the optimistic numbers and a substantial number of researchers consider the equation as obsolete as a black and white television from the '60s. R

Extraterrestrial Intelligence in the Solar System: Resolving the Fermi Paradox

Robert A. Freitas Jr., Journal of the British Interplanetary Society 36 (November, 1983)

The assertion that extraterrestrial intelligences (ETI) do not exist, based on the apparent contradictions inherent in the Fermi Paradox, rests upon an unproven and untenable presumption: That ETI are not now present in the Solar System. The current observational status of the Solar System is insufficient to support the assumption that ETI are not here.  R

Fire Fighters, Disaster Control and the UFO Potential

Dennis Balthaser, 03/01/03

The Fire Officer’s Guide used to train Firefighter’s at the National Fire Academy in Maryland contains a chapter on UFOs. I couldn’t help but ask myself, if all these rumors about UFOs were untrue, why would firefighters be trained on this subject?

FOIA Request Frustrations

Dennis Balthaser, 05/01/00

The Freedom of Information Act law, enacted in 1966, is without a doubt one of the best tools available to obtain information. Over the years, many documents previously kept from the public have been disclosed through FOIA requests. Most researchers that I've talked to however, share my experience in that many times the information takes months or years to obtain, if in fact obtainable. Many times it is still cataloged as secret or not available due to National Security concerns, and some information is still "blacked out", or delay tactics are used in their responses.

Getting to Level 2

Mark Cashman

The problem with Klass, as opposed to the position of the properly skeptical ufologist, is that he won't accept the contention that there are unexplained UFO reports which are challenging and interesting; while our properly skeptical UFOlogist has no problem with accepting both that many reports can be explained and that there are challenging and interesting UFO reports which cannot be explained prosaically.

Growing Up With ET

Space.com, 15 November 2000

If some day we detect a radio signal from a distant civilization, we’ll have to make some adjustments in the way we view ourselves. In the process, will we simply gain a little healthy humility about our place in the universe? Or would it be downright humiliating to compare our own meager accomplishments with those of more advanced extraterrestrials? R

How Scientists Tracked a Flying Saucer

He reveals how a troup of Navy men and scientists tracked a flying disk with a precision instrument and tells of flights he and others witnessed.

Looking Ahead to the Past

Dennis Balthaser, 9/01/00

One of the things I've always enjoyed about researching the Roswell Incident, especially since I moved to Roswell in 1996, was the number of locations, structures and buildings that could be seen or visited in the area, which had a direct or indirect connection to the incident in 1947. Whenever other researchers, friends, family or media personnel visit me, I always take them to some of these locations.
