without further delay, since they are as valid now as they were in 1966.
In my opinion, the close encounter and abduction cases constitute the
spearhead of UFO research. Of course, it is essential to distinguish
between genuine and fraudulent cases, and this is not always easy to do.
However, with patient, open-minded, persistent, and alert attention, it can
be done. The analogy of sorting out batches of gemstone rough is relevant
here. There are ways of detecting whether one is in the presence of the real
thing or an imitation.
The genuine contact and abduction cases are the interface between terrestrial
humanity and the UFO phenomenon. There are literally thousands
of such case histories on record, and perhaps tens or hundreds of thousands,
or more, which have not been reported. I would suggest that about
two-thirds of the hypothetical budget be allocated to investigating as thoroughly
as possible the thousands of case histories already on record: evaluating
them for authenticity, conducting follow-up interviews and hypnotic
regression sessions when appropriate, and feeding all the information
obtained into computers.
The data bank derived from the review of contact and abduction cases
should then be correlated with the data bank derived from the lights-inthe-sky
and physical nuts-and-bolts manifestations.
If project funds are still available after this procedure has been completed,
we should start interviewing the oceanic multitude of contactees
and abductees whose stories have only recently begun to surface and are
not yet on record. These interviews would be conducted and tabulated
along the same lines as those case histories already on record.
From these myriad correlations, certain major patterns should emerge.
What I would consider to be of prime importance would be the patterns
indicating the characteristics of the different types of extra-terrestrial
and/or inter-dimensional humanoids, human-appearing beings, and extremely
dissimilar alien entities involved in these manifestations, to which
we have been applying the catch-all UFO label. The information derived
from such profiles would include not only the physical characteristics and
types of craft most frequently used, but also the behavioral characteristics.
Typical ways of interacting with us would contain clues as to motivations
for making contact with us, as well as to psychological traits and the
extent to which communication may be possible. Such questions as superiority,
inferiority, or equality of intelligence between them and us would
be explored, as well as unusual aspects of their intelligence. Indications of
the relative benevolence, malevolence, or neutrality of the various types
would show up clearly in such profiles, as well as of their friendliness or
hostility to each other. As abductee Ida Kannenberg has so perceptively
pointed out: "There are so many different types of extra terrestrials that it
