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.

Contact: More Than Just a Film
Larry Klaes, SETI League Northeastern US Regional Coordinator
In keeping with the title, this document is more than just a film review, and far more than an editorial. What follows is a rather lengthy treatment which could form the syllabus for a whole college course based upon Carl Sagan's "Contact."

Extraordinary Claim? Move the Goal Posts!
Patrick Huyghe, The Anomalist 3
If you've heard it once, no doubt you've heard it a million times. "Extraordinary claims require extraordinary proof." But as the arguments fly over what exactly constitutes the necessary proof, there's often some hasty rewriting of the rules of the game.

Alien Abduction and Hypnosis
Nick Pope
In a landmark decision, the National Council for Hypnotherapy (NCH) [in the U.K.] has issued a policy statement concerning alien abductions. So far as I am aware, this is the first time that any of the professional bodies representing British hypnotherapists has made an official pronouncement on this issue, let alone issued guidance to its members.

Advanced Aliens: Why ET Will Be More Advanced than Humanity
Seth Shostak, Senior Astronomer, SETI
Any beings capable of bridging the vast distances between the stars would be able to clean our clock when it comes to science and engineering. Visitors from other worlds – should any appear – would be enormously ahead of us from a technological viewpoint. It may surprise you to learn that the same is true for any aliens we might tune in with our SETI experiments. R

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

Media Play
Steven Greer, M.D., Director, The Disclosure Project / CSETI
Conventional Wisdom has it that we live in a free and open society with a free press, which plays the role of a key check and balance on government secrecy and abuse. This and other fantasies, foisted on a gullible public, have enabled runaway illegal secret projects to get away with murder, and they are now on the verge of planeticide - the killing of an entire planet. The truth is that we have free media - so long as it is inconsequential.

Getting Inside Your Head: Media, Mind Control, and Marginalization of UFOs
Richard M. Dolan
Why is serious coverage of UFOs absent in the mainstream media? This article attempts to answer that question. It describes how big media and national security interests have converged, and how this relates to the subsequent banishment of serious information about UFOs from "official culture" (as I have often called it). This is one of the longer pieces in here, and will be featured in the February/March 2003 issue of UFO Magazine.
