A Mock Congressional Hearing: The Ruppelt Record
Francis Ridge & Jerry Washington, (NICAP)
It is in that spirit of truth and honesty that we've cooked-up the following exchanges from a mock hearing, circa 1956, during which Capt. Ruppelt (utilizing his actual quotes) testifies before a skeptical Congress. The Committee Chairman, Senator "Mo Lasses" - a man more interested in grandstanding than anything else - has the floor.

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.

British MoD Expert Tells Why He Views Some UFOs as E.T.
Interview with Nick Pope, by Michael Lindemann
From 1991 until 1994, Nick Pope worked the "UFO desk" at Air Secretariat 2-A, British Ministry of Defense. His job was to assess UFO reports for any possible defense significance. What he learned gradually convinced him that at least some UFOs were most certainly technological objects of unknown origin, potentially of great significance to the defense of Great Britain. R

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.

An Expanded Context For Genetic Exploration and Explanation
Neil Freer
This paper, written by a generalist for scientists, is submitted as a brief to inform the reader of an archaeological paradigm, developed over a century and a half, which renders outmoded, corrects and subsumes both the Darwinian evolutionary and creationist models, as related to human history, and provides an expanded, fresh perspective on DNA research.

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

Questions for Other Civilizations
Allen Tough, International Astronautical Congress in Turin, Italy, October 1997
What people hope to learn from other civilizations. Probably SETI (the scientific search for extraterrestrial intelligence) will eventually detect and confirm an extraterrestrial radio or optical signal. An international organization (such as Unesco, COPUOS, or IAA) may then compose a reply from humanity. R

Wikipedia: Science
Wikipedia, the Free Encyclopedia
Science is both a process of gaining knowledge, and the knowledge gained by this process. The scientific process is the systematic acquisition of new knowledge about a system. This systematic acquisition is generally the scientific method, and the system is generally nature. Science is also the scientific knowledge that has been systematically acquired by this scientific process.
