Hello Chris,

        Sorry that I missed the direction of your post.  I fully agree.
Further, for reasons outside of UFO research, I have followed Persigner's
work, and simular.  I would like to point out to everyone that the
ability(s) to induce altered states of consciousness would make a dandy
non-lethal weapon.  The secret, if any, to this matter should be fairly easy
to solve in any number of fashions.  As is often the case, _delivery_ is the
tough aspect to it's use as a weapon, and several options come to mind
without effort.


        Best Wishes,
