Hello and welcome to the latest posting of the alt.alien.visitors
Frequently Asked Questions.  Although the Newsgroup is called 
alt.alien.visitors, both the group and the FAQ cover the whole field of
UFOs, which depending on your viewpoint may or may not be the same as
alien visitations. This FAQ is designed to answer questions of people who are
new to this Usenet discussion group, and designed to be a useful
reference source to those interested in UFOlogy.

The FAQ is the result of contributions from many people. The views expressed are varied and unless otherwise stated should not be taken to represent the opinions of any one contributor, the editor or the contributors as a whole. Neither, unless otherwise stated, should the views expressed be taken as in anyway representing any organisation or employer with whom the contributors are connected. The current editor is Steve Gamble (s.gamble@crc.ac.uk).

The FAQ was started by FSDLK@acad3.alaska.edu and to a large extent this version of the FAQ is as he handed it over. The following is from the introduction he originally wrote and I feel still applies "I tried to keep a neutral stance when I researched many of the subjects covered in this FAQ; however you may also notice that some of the material seem to be one-sided. When doing some of the research I may have only used one book or source, thus (as you may have noticed) some authors present information from only one point of view and this has a tendency to be carried over to this FAQ, due to the lack of information on the subject from another point of view. (deep huh? well I hope to include more viewpoints as this FAQ grows.) Also please when reading information from this FAQ (as one poster put it) take everything you read here with a very large grain of salt. (rock salt) Even I don't believe all the information that I have included in this FAQ. As I said its mainly a reference to help you out. If you find yourself interested in a UFO related subject, **DO RESEARCH** read books on the subject, dig into both sides, write letters to the authors and researchers ".

A number of people have contributed to the FAQ, these include amongst others Donovan Kienenberger, Jeff Papineau and Charles Mcgrew. Many more are mentioned as you go through the FAQ next to their contribution.

Charles is trying to make the FAQ together with other UFO related material available by ftp. Here are the details: ftp.rutgers.edu (128.6.26.25) many ufo-related documents (some of dubious reputability) in pub/ufo. See README's in the directory (and subdirectories). Files are a little disorganized right now, since the document- collection process is still going on, but if you're looking for that "special file", this is a good place to check out. More recent versions of this FAQ can be found here as a.a.v-faq. All files except the README's are in unix-compressed format, so please be sure to use 'binary' transfer mode. Anonymous ftp enabled.
