=== 11. UFO Organizations
Throughout the world there are many civilian organisations which
either have the study of UFOs or extraterrestrials as their main
object of interest or include them as part of a wider remit. Each
organisation has a different view of the subject ranging from the
basically scientific to, in some cases,the frankly nutty.
This list is not exhaustive, but is fairly extensive. The names of
the officers and subscription rates of organisations may change and,
unless the editor is informed, the updated information may not be
available here. This is, of course, not the only list of organisations
produced in the world. Readers are urged to consult other lists as
well such as the excellant list of UFO organisations produced by John
A. Hayes for UFOnet.

researchers throughout the continent. A comparable list of British
UGMs has never been available in this manner. NAICCR also publishes
an annual report of North American UGM activity, with analyses and
commentary.
NAICCR will continue to function in the future at about the present
level of activity, though it would be preferred if UGM cases would
once again be studied as special cases of UFO cases, as was the case
before tthat category of UGMs was raised to a separate category
because of British research. NAICCR may perhaps merge back with
UFOROM, if this is the case, since UFOROM had been investigating UGMs
as a matter of course.

Publication is The Continuum :
Founded in 1986
History:
ParaNet started on January 1, 1986 in a bulletin-board system called
"The Other Side" It was one of the first BBS that gathered together
various information for the pourpous of research on the paranormal.
Jim Speiser was the Director of ParaNet 1986-88 at the time and
wanted to bring together the three factions of paranormal debate
(the skeptics, the believers, and the undecided) for public
discussion of paranormal. He created ParaNet as neutral ground for
the exchange of information on the paranormal.In 1988 Speiser turned
over the directorship to Michael Corbin.
Current Status
ParaNet's basic goles are reflected in its motto: "Answering
Questions, Questioning Answers". ParaNet offers investigator's raw
material, in the form of sighting reports, which comes from data
supplied by the public. The network concept provides the investigators
and its users with immediate, one-on-one contact, and instant access
to a global communications medium. ParNet also keeps it users informed
major, fast-breaking stories involving the paranormal. ParaNet can be
accessed in six countries on three continents.
The People of ParaNet
ParaNet provides access to experts through their electronic system.
Its research branch is headed by Robert B. Klinn, a veteran
investigator who worked for the late Dr. J. Allen Hynek. ParaNet also
provides a conference on the UFO abduction experience hosted by Dr.
David Jacobs, a UFO historian and author. Many different groups and
researchers of the paranormal use Parenet for information exchange and
discussion of ideas. Among some of them are the Bay Area Skeptics, the
South Shore Skeptics, Marge Christenson, T. Scott Crain, Dan Drasin,
Stan Gordon, Barry Greenwood, Budd Hopkins, Linda Howe, Phil Imbrogno,
Dr. David Jacobs, Dr. Donald Johnson, Philip Klass,Bruce Maccabee,
Maj. James McGaha, Dr. Mark Rodeghier, Robert Schaeffer, Tracy Torme,
and Dr. David Webb, Don Ecker, Vicki Cooper and and many others.
The Future of ParaNet
In the future ParaNet plans to expan their network to even more
cournties, increasing public education and scientific-oriented
research and investigation unequaled in the field. Their focus will
be directed at bringing various credible existing organizations from
around the world into a better organized research effort. ParaNet will
also turn its attention to more investigative reporting. Paranet
plans to acomplish this unser their new organization known as MICAP
(Multi-national Investigations Cooperative on Aerial Phenomena). (see
MICAP) MICAP will be a separate non-profit research/educational
vehicle with investigative ability.

Established in 1982. A tax-exempt group that investigates various
anomalies, including UFOs. Although its president Professor Peter
Sturrock of Stanford University, all contact with SSE should be made
through Laurence W. Fredrick. The goal of the SSE is to gain further
understanding of anomalous phenomena (including UFOs) and to share
this knowledge with the public. The Society considers anomalous
phenomena to be incidents that appear to contradict existing
scientific knowledge; regarded by the scientific community as being
outside their established fields of inquiry. They use the "Journal of
Scientific Exploration" as an avenue to discuss anomalous phenomena
and present research results to the scientific and scholarly
community; its members are drawn from practitioners of science
who have acquired a first-hand knowledge and understanding of the
scientific process. The Society holds annual international meetings
and periodically scheduled regional meetings.
To promote co-operation, and to accommodate other levels of activity
and interest, the Society has created the categories of "Corresponding
Member" and "Associate". "Associates" receive the "Journal of
Scientific Exploration" (two issues a year) and "The Explorer" (two
issues a year). An Associate may submit letters and other items for
publication in the Newsletter, may submit articles for publication in
the Journal (each article must be sponsored by a "Full Member"), and
may attend Society meetings by arrangement with a "Full Member". A
person wishing to become an "Associate" may do so by completing an
Application Form and sending it with a check for the annual dues to
the Secretary. "Full Membership" is reserved for those associated with
major universities, government entities or corporate research
institutions who have an established reputation in a traditional
branch of science. "Emeritus Membership" provides the privileges of
Full Membership to similarly qua]ified retirees at a lower annual
rate. "Student Membership" is limited to graduate students enrolled in
academic institutions. "Corresponding Membership" is open to members
of designated organizations. A "Corresponding Member" receives, and is
entitled to submit articles to the "Journa] of Scientific
Exploration".

11.62: Ufology Research of Manitoba (UFOROM)
UFOROM is a private, non-profit and volunteer organisation which is
involved in rational discourse, investigation and research on UFOs and
related phenomena. It was formed in 1975. All types of UFO-related
phenomena have been studied by UFOROM, including traces, crash-
retrievals, abductions and cattle mutilations. In addition, some
UFOROM associates also study fortean and psychic phenomena. UFOROM
publishes an annual survey of UFO activity in Canada, comparable to
the Ferrughelli reports on American cases. Case data is provided by
co-operative Canadian researchers across Canada.
UFOROM is not open to general public membership. However, independent
investigators and researchers throughout North America and
particularly in Canada are associated with UFOROM by way of their
contributions of case information and data from their own areas. Such
contributions are welcomed and readily acknowledged by UFOROM.
Although UFOROM does not publish a journal or newsletter for general
distribution, associates frequently exchange information on an
informal basis. This information is made available through articles
and reports published in UFO magazines or books, written or edited by
UFOROM associates.
UFOROM is associated with an irregular ufozine titled the SWAMP GAS
JOURNAL. [See UFO Publications section] It is available in hard copy
through zine exchange or for a "cost" of one International Postal
Reply Coupon per issue. As an experiment, the most recent issue also
has been made available in electronic format via INTERNET by posting a
request to: rutkows@ccu.umanitoba.ca
UFOROM associates are involved with the J. Allen Hynek Center for UFO
Studies (CUFOS), the Mutual UFO Network (MUFON) and various other
organisations. UFOROM functions independently, but operates with an
understanding of complete co-operation and information exchange with
interested and serious researchers in their specialised areas of
interest.
UFOROM is devoted to the rational and objective study of UFOs and
related phenomena, as well as other controversial phenomena such as
crop circles. All views on these phenomena, including both proponent
and contrary standpoints, are considered. In this regard, UFOROM
associates tend to engage in dialogue with both "believers" and
"debunkers". It is hoped that such attempts to "bridge the gap"
between the two sides of the debate will encourage more constructive
discourse.

frequency energy maintained by the authors, who are Advanced Spiritual
Beings living on the Inner Planes. UNARIUS receives most of its
information and instructions through channeling with the Higher Beings
(Space Brothers).
UNARIUS writes, publishes, and distributes a complete course of study
describing the New Sciences of Life. This course material is covered
over 100-plus texts of the UNARIUS Academy of Sciences; augmented by
over 100 video programs. The course material covers missing piece's of
man's prehistory, the enigma surrounding the dilemma of unresolved
problems in science, politics and religion, and the future for mankind
in the 21st century. Class sessions are held at the UNARIUS Center on
Wednesdays & Sundays at 7:00 p.m.; class fee is S10.00. Some courses
are also available on TV stations throughout California.
All of the materials are directly related to the UNARIUS goal of
achieving Higher Awareness. One of this group's main tenets is that
there are superior extraterrestrial forces which control the Earth's
destiny and which know the fate of mankind. With the teachings
provided by UNARIUS, they feel that each person can become cosmically
attuned to higher spiritual forces and can become aware of Reality and
what is in store for humans. UNARIUS teaches that the Interplanetary
Confederation, a coalition of 33 existing planets, is building 33
spacecraft that will form a giant city and will descend to Earth in
the year 2001. This "building" or "city" will descend on land
purchased for this purpose in the southern California area and will be
a gathering spot for people to come and learn about Cosmic Awareness.
In addition to students, interested parties can join UNARIUS for
$50.00 per year.

History:
The "Australian Flying Saucer Research Society (Victorian Branch)" was
formed on the 17th of February, 1957 as a branch of the "Australian
Flying Saucer Research Society" and later that year was reorganised as
the "Victorian Flying Saucer Research Society" with Mr. Peter E.
Norris L.L.B. as President. In 1968 the name was again altered - this
time to the "Victorian U.F.O. Research Society". The current executive
has been in place since 1978. The Society has held a dispassionate
attitude on U.F.O.s, claiming it is a scientific problem deserving
closer attention. Membership of this Society - which maintains the
largest membership of any U.F.O. organisation in the Southern
Hemisphere - is open to all who are genuinely interested in the
subject.
Significant cases studied:
- The Frederick Valentich disappearance (1978). Frederick
Valentich was a twenty year old member of the Royal Australian Air
Force who disappeared on a solo private flight across Bass Strait
after radioing that an object was hovering on top of his Cessna 182.
- The Knowles Family Encounter. The case of a family on a
car trip across the Nullarbor Plain in South Australia who were
buzzed by a UFO that at one stage lifted the Knowles car into the
air only to drop it to the road seconds later.
