Subject: Re: Notice to Researchers: Upgraded website
EBK and list,
Just wanted to let everyone know that the Oberg/Cooper Website has
been upgraded to include the following page which allows one to access
the information within the essays much more easily.
http://www.li.net/~rjcohen/topicsaddr.html
An image of the topics is included below.
Additionally, links are included to outside data, discussions,
websites, etc., directly germane to each topic. It is my hope
researchers, and anyone interested in finding accurate, concise
information regarding various important issues and topics in ufology,
will find them useful.
Adjustments to background color on my website pages have been made in
an effort to make them more "readable."
These can all be accessed from the home page:
http://www.li.net/~rjcohen/index.html
The entire site contains minimal graphics and is designed to get the
reader to the important information in an expeditious manner.
Respectfully,
Jerry Cohen

Important Topics from UFO History
Addressed via this Website
(Page last updated: February 15, 1998)
1. Reminds us that J. Allen Hynek was the main civilian scientist,
hired by the Air Force, to debunk UFO cases to the public. Hynek
found that a certain percentage of them refused his best efforts.
He was the main civilian scientist closest to the Air Force data
for approximately 20 years.
_Dr. J. Allen Hynek - His life and a few of his accomplishments
_Hynek page at UFOMind, California USA
_Quotes from Hynek that show his evolution over the years
2. Walter Webb is another astronomer who become interested in UFOs
while working with Hynek on project "Moonwatch" back in the late
1950's. He says the Baker-Nunn network did pick up anomalous
trails in their later photos. Hynek described them as "oddities."
_Comments from Walter Webb, Charles Hayden Planetarium, Boston
3. Demonstrates that Hynek found cases in "Blue Book" that indicated
that UFOs deserved to be studied in depth. Some cases described
flight characteristics and behaviors that still mystify various
military personnel familiar with our various aircraft.
_Navy Case from "Blue Book" files - Hynek
4. Presents several cases presented by both Hynek and Dr. James
McDonald who's data indicated that some UFOs may well be advanced
"craft," perhaps not of this earth. Here are two of them.
"Kirtland," was analyzed by Project Blue Book, the Condon Study
and Dr. James McDonald (University of Arizona).
_Incident at Redlands, California (4 Feb 68) - Hynek
_Analysis of "Kirtland" by Dr. James McDonald (see: Oberg/Cooper
7b & 7c)
_McDonald's Critique of the Condon Committee Evaluation of
"Kirtland"
_McDonald's Credentials
5. Demonstrates that the Air Force's "Project Blue Book" was a
"non-study," although as has already been demonstrated, it did
accumulate important data. (After clicking and reading, please
continue past the case you already read.)
_Hynek takes us INSIDE "Blue Book"
_What Hynek found when he reanalyzed the Blue Book cases
_Where to obtain the Hynek UFO Report
6. Demonstrates that Edward Condon's conclusions from the Colorado
Study (the one and only Air Force sponsored civilian university
study of UFOs) were erroneous. Although Condon found "against"
UFOs being worthy of further study, the case data from the study
actually found a greater number of unknowns than the Air Force
was claiming at the time.
_University of Colorado UFO Project (11/66-11/68)
_Edward Condon page at UFOMind
7. Here's an important reminder that Hynek and McDonald were not the
only ones to disagree with the conclusions of the Colorado
(Condon) Report.
_Science groups who disagreed with the Condon conclusions and why
_Why Dr. McDonald and NICAP disagreed with its conclusions
_Why Hynek disagreed
8. Demonstrates why NICAP (National Investigations Committee on
Aerial Phenomena) was an organization to be taken seriously.
_Brief Overview of NICAP
_Richard Hall and his importance to Ufology (UFOMind, Ca., USA)
_Where one can obtain a copy of the UFO Evidence
9. Demonstrates by the accumulated data from previously displayed
cases ("Navy", "Redlands", "Kirtland") plus two other cases
occurring at the same general time period as Kirtland, a high
probability that astronaut Gordon Cooper is telling the truth
about his UFO sightings.
_Sebago (11/6/57) - Stokes (11/6 or 7/57) - Kirtland (11/4/57)
_Gordon Cooper page at UFOMind, CA. USA
_Gordon Cooper: National Enquirer Article
10. More than adequately demonstrates, via discussions with one of
its creators, the "Earthlights" explanation for UFOs is incapable
of explaining many CE II and III cases (CE = Close Encounter) as
well as upper atmospheric ones.
_Discussions with Paul Devereux archived at UFOMind, California
_Other discussions with Mr. Devereux archived at my website
Cites two specific cases as examples:
_SKY THING (occurred 1960)
_Exeter, N.H. - "Blue Book" version (1/2)
_Exeter, N.H. - "Blue Book" version (2/2)
11. Proves that simplistic explanations such as "fire balloons
released by hoaxers" are incapable of solving the 1965 Exeter,
New Hampshire series of sightings which has defied researchers'
best attempts to find a reasonable solution for same.
_A researcher claims he has solved Exeter
_My analysis says his "Fire Balloon" explanation is "full of hot
air"
12. Presents specific data regarding the 1989/90 Belgium NATO
sightings which unequivocally demonstrates that a "craft" of some
type... was chased by jet aircraft, captured on radar and gun
camera film, exhibited flight behavior well in excess of that
which our present day aircraft are capable. The case impressed
the Belgium NATO military enough for them to bring it to the
public's attention. Note: This data is supportive of Hynek &
McDonald's original discoveries.
_Sighting by the Belgian Air force (NATO Division)
_Why the Vulcan bomber doesn't fit the scenario
_Description of the Vulcan bomber
_Why ultra-lite "giant flying wings" don't fit the scenario (M.
Cashman)
13. As was previously demonstrated, the Belgium case was not the
first military case to catch researchers' attention. Another case
occurred in 1976 and was verified as being discussed within and
between various governmental agencies via memos released under
the "Freedom of Information" act.
_The Iranian AF Jet Encounter
_UFOWorld on the Iranian Encounter
14. In an effort to "clear the air" regarding certain people's belief
that Dr. Hynek was a "mole" for the Air Force, I offered the
following. Anyone who still believes this about Hynek should
definitely click below.
_Why Hynek was not an "Intelligence mole"
15. Demonstrates that CUFOS (Center for UFO Studies ), the
organization formed formed in 1973 and led by Dr. J. Allen Hynek
until his death in 1986, is also an organization which certainly
deserves to be taken quite seriously.
