Dear Stephen,

I guess you are referring to the CSETI star watch/ufo calling program?
I am not trying to "pick" or "debunk" anyone right now, but I do have
some questions that have come to mind.

What is the anticipated "purpose" of calling in UFO's? Perhaps I'm
being naive, but I have yet to understand what is being accomplished?
We don't even know if UFO/Aliens are friends or
foes.  I have yet to meet any abductee who makes the claim
that their ufo experience is a wonderful party. In most cases, the
contactees are upset, disoriented and scared. Would I want to be
responsible for introducing my friends to aliens? Heck no!!!! Any
investigator knows in most cases we are dealing with traumatized victims.
We just hashed out email about the B&B incident. Here was a group of
abductees (not uncommon) who obviously were so paranoid by interacting
with alien experience that they are meeting in secret.

I can't help but think of the scene in Independence Day when a group of
"take me please" are on the top of building. OK so this is fiction.
But in truth could leading people to alien encounters mean 1) perhaps
something good, whatever that might be or 2)leading a bunch of lambs to
the slaughter? Who is to know for sure. This reminds me of going
on a safari (which I have done in South Africa). You get in the car,
you drive to some remote area of Kruger Game Reserve, you take out
your binoculars, you hope you see "something". You are soooo elated
when you encounter a 600LB lion, you yell over, he looks your
way  so that you might snap a photo and we mere humans make eye
contact with this beast. There is joy in that he sees you, you see him!
Who by the way, looks cute but  could rip your limbs apart piece by
piece and have you for lunch in one second flat!

Perhaps I'm exaggerating and making a little fun right now of a group
of intelligent people sitting on some mountain top waving flash lights.
What qualifies a person to be the initial "instigator" in introducing a
person
to alien species? Should people charge for this talent? What is all of this
leading  to -- "only the qualified" can do it or mandatory college degrees
and licensing on "All you  ever wanted to know about meeting aliens"? Do you
need to have a PHD, MD or DDS behind your name to apply? I feel in the
end, we all have an equal capacity to make contact with aliens,
but the big question is are we ready and do we want to?

Curious as a cat...........
