Greetings UpDates List:

'Watch The Skies' magazine at

http://www.watchtheskies.org

is an internet-based publication which is devoted to a critical
examination of what is wrong with ufology: where the discipline
has gotten off the beaten path in the last two decades, or so,
to presently wander in an intellectual wilderness where
proliferation of fantastic and unsubstantiated ideas is the
norm, and where sound scientific investigation is the exception.

The staff of 'Watch The Skies' magazine believes there may be,
as the late J. Allen Hynek once suggested, "scientific paydirt"
in the UFO phenomenon. We are also aware that scientific paydirt
requires science - not flights of fancy fueled by the "will to
believe," as is so common today.

Therefore, we are soliciting volunteer articles from the
ufological community discussing what's wrong with ufology and
how these problems might be fixed, to lead us onto a path
commensurate with scientific investigation - a method of inquiry
which has proven itself again and again, in countless areas of
inquiry.  We also are also seeking articles that examine what is
RIGHT in ufology - meaning discussions of good, rational work
which is  presently being done. Similarly, pertinent news items
from the world of ufology will be considered for publication,
along with reviews of critical books on the topic. All articles
will be considered in light of our editorial policy. 'Watch The
Skies' magazine's editorial policy  is available at:

So come, see, and consider contributing to our magazine.
