Klass - SUN #72) Klass was not merely likeable, but lovable Talk about class. Not enough knew it, but the way another contemporary of his, Klass had it. Howard Cosell, was lovable (and perhaps a bit like Rush Limbaugh): you either loved him, or you hated him. And like Bob Dole, despite an often abrasive public persona, Klass extended courtesies above and be- yond and not just to his friends and like- minded UFO skeptics. Shortly after I met him, Klass began to of- ten send me photocopies of his extensive correspondences with UFOlogists and the like. One of the very first was a four-page letter written in 1976 to Paul McCarthy, a young man who had recently completed his doctoral thesis on Dr. James McDon- ald’s UFO-related career and had just sent a copy to Phil.

  • Alien Civilizations
    ALIEN CIVILIZATIONS What is Panspermia? Panspermia, pan meaning ‘all’, and sperma, meaning ‘seed’ is the theory that life is present throughout the Universe, distributed by meteoroids, planetoids, asteroids, comets, and also by spacecraft, particularly in the form of microbes. The Panspermia theory proposes that the microbes (microscopic life forms) that can endure the effects of space, like for instance, extremophiles (microbes that can withstand extreme temperatures), get trapped in debris that is expelled into space after collisions between planetoids and small Solar System bodies that shelter life. Some of the organisms may be scattered dormant for some amount of time before randomly colliding with other planets or intermingling with planetary disks. If met with the ideal conditions on a new planet's surface, the organisms become active and the process of evolution begins. Panspermia is not meant to address how life began, just the method that may cause its distribution in the Universe. How civilizations are categorised based on their energy use (Type 1, 2 and 3) The Kardashev scale is used for measuring a civilization's level of technological advancement, based upon the total amount of energy a civilization utilizes. The scale is categorised into three types called Type 1, 2, and 3. A Type 1 civilization utilises every available resource existing on its home planet, Type 2 derives all the energy of its star, and Type 3 harnesses it from huge swathes of its galaxy. The scale is hypothetical, but it appropriately puts energy consumption in a cosmic perspective. It was first postulated in 1964 by the Soviet astronomer Nikolai Kardashev (Kardashyov).

Gross Copyright © 1996 Fremont CA "UFOs are the Fifth Horseman of the Apocalypse." -Dr. Lincoln La Paz Acknowledgements: I would like to thank pioneer UFOlogist Vincent Gaddis for the gift of his collection of UFO newspaper clippings covering the early years of the UFO mystery, as well as George Earley who took the time and the trouble to copy considerable material for my use from his UFO files, and Stanton Friedman, who was equally helpful by permitting access to his extensive library dealing with aerial phenomena. Furthermore, Lucius Farish has pro­ vided some vital items, good advice, and strong encouragement. Similarly, Dr. Richard Haines gave a lot of help, as did Lawrence Fawcett. In addition, Claude Mauge of France and Hilary Evans of England provided information and newspaper clippings from European sources. Tom Benson of New Jersey was kind enough to share some rare UFO news­ bulletins which might have been otherwise unobtainable. Considerable assistance was given by Marv Taylor who has accumulated a large collection of UFO books and assorted UFO material and has made all of it available to researchers. Richard D. Kloian of Ridunond, California, who conducted extensive searches of the files of the New York Times deserves a mention, as does Edward Stewart of North Highlands, California:wi\o gave advice on the manuscript. Ander Liljegren's Arkfvet for UFO Forskning in Norrkoeing, Sweden, is one of the world's best sources of UFO data and is recommended to anyone seriously considering research into the UFO subject.

S. Congress. House.. Committee on Science and Technology. Washington, U. S. Govt. Print. Off., 1975), both by this author. All UFO bibliographers are indebted to Lynn Catoe of the Library of Con- gress Science and Technology Division for her 1968 comprehensive bib- liography on the subject, and this publication uses many of her citations for pre-1969 works. Sources published after 1969, however, are fo- cused on and are meant to represent all entries in The Library's card catalog, even though some of the books were not available for annotation. The section on extraterrestrial intelligence is separated from UFOs since they are different, although interrelated, fields of research. Many who speculate on the existence of other intelligent civilizations in the universe do not believe Earth has been visited by such beings yet, and do not rely on UFO reports.as a basis for their conclusions. As a sep- arate field of interest, books dealing primarily with the possibility of other intelligent life are distinguished from UFO citations, although some could belong in both categories, Time and space have limited the number of selections that could be incorporated, and the inclusions are meant to be both representative of the literature and easily available through local libraries.

  • Desire' Apollo and UFO , Things Are About to Come Public.Pdf
    Watch this please: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7gjwYv2cORk The Question of UFOs There is an important set of questions for mankind. First the question of is there UFO. Well UFO means unidentified Flying Object. Well there are a hundred a day minimum of these. They are daily reported around the world. Investigation into all would require massive amounts of money. The next question is: Is there intelligent life behind any of these UFO? There could be covert corporate or governmental development of a covert nature. Or perhaps there is a separate species of some covert hidden order of being hiding on the planet. Is there today or was there ever extraterrestrial alien life here on earth? This is a question of much debate in science today. Most cases have been explained away with illusion or some other science. But to prove there are white crows you only need one white crow not a flock, or a murder of crows. There have been many cases where it becomes obvious that some incredibly advanced technology is behind the UFO sighting. There are a few cases where there is undeniable evidence. More conservative minds would challenge these cases and some stubborn extremists will never be satisfied. And there are extremists on both sides. The proposed giggle factor of science has made this question a strange question hard to answer. Science has become a search for funding not a search for truth or answers. For a long time scientists have been ridiculed for even using the phrase UFO. The arrogance of scientists over the competition for money and the conceit of the scientists have for so long a time made many fringe endeavors unpopular and laughable.

  • Ufo Audio Catalog
    AUDIO UFO CATALOG This is a listing of recordings on the UFO topic in the files of UHR and other assorted collections. All programs are recorded on standard audio cassettes and listed chronologically. The key to reading the entries is as follows: Title/Show, Source, Subject, Date and Cassette Number. The cassette number indicates the location by a two-letter code and the number of the cassette in that collection, for example: (BG126). Location codes will be listed at the end of this introduction. Where information is partial on the list, I would welcome specifics filling those gaps. Radio broadcasts constitute the predominant medium for audio/visual UFO archiving through the late 1970s when home video recording became popular. Thousands of programs exist on tape but there is no central catalog to consult in assessing the true extent of radio coverage of the UFO phenomena. Private researchers hold most of this bulk with very limited access available to the public. In many cases, such items are the only record of a broadcast PERIOD, making those records unique in the world. Other types of audio recordings, such as witness interviews, lectures, special non-broadcast productions for retail sale, and investigator’s notes, are as fragile and even less available than the radio recordings. Some of these are not meant for anything other than the recorder’s own reference. It is certain that many of these recordings have been lost to history, never even having become known to exist to others. We also face the problem of deterioration of the cassettes. Everything ages.
