Subject: Re: MUFON According to DOD Official

Errol,

I posted the item below on the Project 1947 List.  I note
it has already started to circulate on other lists minus
cautionary warnings.  Some people want to try to
sensationalize everything.  This item has been published in
several places including Strange Magazine.  The article is
*not* about MUFON or UFOs.  In the large article
there is only one small paragraph that mentions MUFON.

Thanks.

This is not new.  However, maybe some would like to
see the original document.

DOD official assesses the Internet.  MUFON mentioned.
the following long article about the internet has a
brief if inaccurate mention of MUFON and its aims.
Please note that this official is speaking for himself
and not DOD.

Would be nice if he could get it right.

Still other kinds of interest groups have moved online.
Groups of conspiracy theorists exchange e-mail explaining
their often bizarre theories about conspiracies conducted
by the U.S. government in general and DoD in particular.
A much better organized gr oup, the Mutual UFO Network
(MUFON), has its own computer network with a gateway
to the Internet. Much of the traffic on this network refers
to U.S. military operations that members believe relate to
investigations and cover-ups of UFO-related incidents, and
other messages contain details on MUFON's efforts to conduct
surveillance of DoD installations and to obtain information
on UFOs that they believe exists in classified form.

This is one paragraph out of a large article and this is old
news, so lets not go off the deep end just yet.....
