February 7, 1999 Listed for the first time (I only list about two weeks out) is what may be one of the most significant network specials on UFOs and abduction. It's called CONFIRMATION: THE HARD EVIDENCE OF ALIENS AMONG US? (yes, NBC weaseled by using the question mark at the end). It's based on the book of the same name (although I believe the hard back didn't use the question mark, I think the paperback did...the paperback is <A HREF="http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/0312967047/bufosweirdworld"> Confirmation (paperback)</A>). Author of the book Whitley Strieber is also the co-Executive Producer of the special. Strieber's first book on the topic, <A HREF="http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/0380703882/bufosweirdworld">Commu nion (paperback)</A>, is a genre-transcending must-read that spent an amazing amount of time on the New York Times Bestseller list. He was lauded by much of ufology for mainstreaming the topic, but rejected by some because he would not embrace the extra-terrestrial hypothesis. Contrary to the way he was typically introduced on talk shows, he did not claim to be abducted by aliens (in the sense of physical beings that evolved on another planet). The first book was truly frightening in part because it did not come to neat and easy conclusions. The special will include video footage of an implant removal, police witnesses, etc. For more information, see the NBC press release at <A HREF="http://www.nbc.com/tvcentral/mms/frpv_specials.html">NBC Specials: Confirmation</A>. I'm working this week on my second monthly Weird World Watch for FATE (the first one will appear in the April issue according to current plans...name of the feature is not confirmed). I appreciate everyone who submitted weird happenings for the last one. If you are interested in contributing, please let me know. On to the listings: Times are generally Pacific.
