Occasionally I have seen requests for information on past articles in alt.alien.visitors. If you desire something, I have the entire newsgroup archive back to July 13, 1992. I access it frequently. I have no way to ftp it to another system for public access but would be glad to email portions of it upon request. The responses are not guaranteed to be correct or complete.You can email me at gvb@acd4.acd.com and I will do my best. gvb@TEFS1.acd.com (Gregg Brown)
10.01 A UFO Book List
I'd like to take this opportunity to remind people of my UFO bibliography file, and to solicit contributions and book comments for it. The file can be ftp'd from paul.rutgers.edu, directory pub/ufo, file bibliography.Z (compressed format). The file is organized by author, and also again by date-of-publication, and also includes Keith Rowell's excellent bibliography file (which is also worked into the above two parts). Many titles have comments from various people as to the value of the book; I would like any comments on any of the books from anyone, and also additional books for inclusion. Check out the UFO Bibliography that you can ftp at: paul.rutgers.edu The file is pub/UFO/bibliography.Z It has books by author, a second listing by date, and also the names of prominent authors in the field.For more information contact: mcgrew@dropout.rutgers.edu (Charles Mcgrew)

10.08 UFO Related anonymous FTP Sites
[Also See: 10.00: A Complete UFO Book List]
phoenix UFO Pics phoenix.oulu.fi (130.231.240.17) In /pub/ufo_and_space_pics
NASA Pics Sites NOTE: the material at these sites is exceedingly voluminous; I'd strongly suggest just getting the CD-ROMs instead of attempting to transfer scores of gigabytes of pix and other material.
To access the online catalog of NASA material, CD-ROMS, et cetera:
telnet nssdca.gsfc.nasa.gov login as "NODIS" no password
Anonymous ftp sites (five):
nssdca.gsfc.nasa.gov [128.183.10.4]
This is a VAX/VMS box, so you must ftp-login as "anonymous". To get a dir listing into a file on your system:
ftp> dir [...] file_on_your_system
vab02.larc.nasa.gov
lots of stuff, including Aliens of all colors, and UFO pix (though this seems to mirror a lot of what's at phoenix.oulu.fi and has some additional material).
ames.arc.nasa.gov
online copies of what appears to be all NASA's CD-ROMs, and lots of GIFs, *.img and *.jpg from most (all?) space missions since Apollo.
iris1.ucis.dal.ca
dunno; it appears to be down today (Saturday, 18-July-1992).
ummts.cc.umich.edu | {changed to} | V archive.umich.edu
apparently popular (and, hence, slow). Is supposed to have many NASA and Voyager data files.
