- Summary: The Mandate and intentions of this group
- Keywords: mandate,UFO,newsgroup
-
- To all posters, readers and lurkers:
-
- Once again, I have to explain the purpose and reason for this
- newsgroup.
-
- This group was created with the intention of allowing people to post
- their personal UFO experiences/sightings, without any bias or
- subjective interpretations. This does not mean that posts here are
- necessarily about observations of alien spacecraft. Most UFOs turn out
- to be misidentifications - honest mistakes. Some could be aircraft
- (secret or otherwise), others are bolides, others are balloons or
- anything else you might want to include in a category of IFO.
-
- The reality is that *a small percentage* of UFO reports do not have a
- simple explanation. This does not mean they are spaceships, but only
- that they cannot be explained easily. Basically, we need the data
- before we can interpret them according to various theories.
-
- The only way this can be achieved is through the collection of UFO
- reports in an objective, organized manner. It seemed that allowing
- witnesses to post on the I-way was a logical possibility.
-
- It still is, but discussion threads about John Lear, MJ12 and the Mars
- Face outnumber UFO reports here.
-
- PLEASE TAKE THESE DISCUSSIONS TO alt.alien.visitors or alt.paranet.ufo
- or alt.alien.research or sci.skeptic
-
- PLEASE DO POST YOUR UFO SIGHTINGS HERE!
