The Crossing Point
Steven M. Greer, M.D. (CSETI / The Disclosure Project)
Do we really imagine that extraterrestrial life forms - who have evolved on different planets around distant suns - would really be using twentieth century human technologies ? The observations and hypothesis which follow will bring together the conventional empirical data of UFO reports with the more bizarre ‘high strangeness' experiences of many close encounters. ... This information is the crux of the mystery, and quite possibly the real lesson which the extraterrestrial phenomenon has to teach us. It is all about going to the next step - in knowledge, in science, in truth and in personal experience. R

Implications of Extraterrestrial Disclosure
Steven M. Greer, M.D. (CSETI / The Disclosure Project)
We very much needed to elaborate, to the extent possible, what the implications of disclosure would be to humanity. We needed to "connect the dots", and draw as broad a picture as possible, no matter how tentative it may seem. R

Disclosure and Transformation: Why disclosure of the ET/UFO subject matters
Steven M. Greer, M.D. (CSETI / The Disclosure Project)
Amid the clamor of a world hurtling towards the next century, a great secret has been kept from humanity which may hold the key to our future. This secret is hidden in plain sight and yet remains unacknowledged by most. It is discussed widely in popular culture - but its import and meaning remain elusive. R

The Case for Extraterrestrial UFOs
Don Berliner, Fund for UFO Research (FUFOR)
While most sights described as UFOs turn out to be misidentified known natural and artificial phenomena, many hundreds do not. It is these that form the core of the UFO mystery. That UFOs constitute a distinct category of describable sights is based on hundreds of highly detailed and consistent descriptions by professionals (especially airline and military pilots) of their close-up, broad daylight observations of unique flying machines.

The UFO Challenge
Stanton Friedman
"Debunkers seem to employ four major rules: A. What the public doesn't know, we certainly won't tell them. The largest official USAF UFO study isn't even mentioned in 12 anti-UFO books, though all the book authors were aware of it. B. Don't bother me with the facts, my mind is made up C. If one can't attack the data, attack the people. It is easier. D. Do one's research by proclamation rather than investigation.It is much easier, and nobody will know the difference anyway."

Extraterrestrials and the New Cosmology
Steven M. Greer, M.D. (CSETI and the Disclosure Project)
The universe is teeming with intelligent life. In fact, the universe itself is intelligent and alive. The multiplicity of life in the universe, while diverse, is essentially a singularity; beyond division, it exists in the unitive state, a marvelous, conscious Oneness. All that there is exists in its true nature as pure, undifferentiated, eternal Mind. R

Detection and Identification of Unidentified Flying Objects (UFOs) Using Existing Technology (PDF)
John F. Schuessler, MUFON
For the past fifty years, civilian UFO organizations have been collecting, categorizing and archiving UFO reports. [During this time], various agencies of the United States government and the governments of other countries were using all sorts of advanced technologies for Cold War purposes. For the most part, few of these advanced technologies were used to address the UFO issue. The purpose of this paper is to urge responsible governmental organizations to reassess their position and to allow all available technologies to be used to eliminate the UFO mystery.

Cosmic Peace
Dr. Jospeh Burkes
To help prevent war and hopefully usher in a new era of interplanetary cooperation, the creation of a new kind of peace movement is required. One which acknowledges the ET presence and resists those social forces which are systematically fanning the flames of war. Such a movement will definitely require a strong spiritual base. The realization that we are not alone compels humanity to ask the question, "What then is our true place in the universe?" R

The Leadership Crisis in UFOlogy
Dr. Joseph Burkes
There are few leaders in the UFO/truth Movement, mostly celebrities. In the paper "Role of a Power Structure Analysis in Ufology" ... I proposed the creation of a mass movement to work for disclosure. A campaign that hopefully will represent the interests of the majority of people on this planet, rather than those of elite groups primarily focused on defending hegemony by denying what appears to be an extra-terrestrial presence. The risks of creating such movements are numerous. Perhaps the most daunting is its susceptibility to co-optation by corrupt leaders - those who would eagerly use "the power of the people" for selfish purposes. R

In attempting to resolve a complex problem such as that posed by UFO reports, one is very much in the "gray area" of scientific research that is not well defined: the facts are to some extent shaky; some of the hypotheses are speculative; and it is not clear how to evaluate the hypotheses on the basis of the facts and of other relevant information.
