FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: FUNDING OF UP TO $25 MILLION FOR UFO
RESEARCH
1 April 2007, by Andy Miller on behalf of the Aerial Phenomena
Research and Investigation League.
In exciting news that is likely to thrill UFO researchers around
the world, at a press conference yesterday morning Andy Miller
made the following announcement:
"This is the final call by the Aerial Phenomena Research and
Investigation League ("the League") for submission of proposals
for funding of research into reports of Unidentified Flying
Objects (UFOs). Funding of an amount not exceeding US Dollars
25 million is being made available for UFO research by the
League."
Each individual application for funding must, however, not
exceed US Dollars 1 million to maximise the number of
meritorious proposals that can be funded by the League.
In remarks made at the press conference regarding the Funding
Opportunity Of the League, Andrew Miller (a Major in the League,
and not related to acclaimed English researcher Stuart Miller)
stated that this move was "ground-breaking, and potentially
Earth-shattering. It's time to pick up the pace of progress."
Any individual that wishes to apply for such funds must register
their interest by 4pm on 1 April 2007 by sending a brief outline
("the Application") of their proposal by email to
ufoleague[at]gmail.com .
The Application should not exceed 300 words in length. Further
details of a proposal may be requested by the League if deemed
necessary and appropriate.
Some of the Applications received prior to this final call for
funding are included within ANNEX A, to illustrate the diverse
range of interesting ideas that have been put forward thus far.
These represent (in no particular order) the best of ideas
received so far. The League hopes that this final call for
funding will, however, result in even better ideas being
generated.
Each Application shall be deemed to incorporate the terms and
conditions set out in the agreement attached as ANNEX B to this
Press Release. The Applicant agrees that by submitting a
proposal to the League, he/she shall be deemed to be have signed
the said agreements. (Thus, an actual signature is not
required and the proposal can merely be sent as an email or word
processed document).
Andy Miller ended the press conference by stating that he had
time to take a couple of quick questions.
"Q : Why set up yet another UFO organisation, rather than provide
funding to serious ufologists via existing UFO groups, such as
the well respected organisation FUFOR?"
"A: An independent group is necessary in order to provide money
directly to serious ufologists, due to a concern that established
UFO groups may have been compromised by Disinformation Agents.
See ANNEX C to the League's Press Release ("The Top 100 Real Men
in Black")."
"Q: Why do initial proposals have to be submitted so soon after
this final call for submissions?"
"A:To ensure that only highly active participants within ufology
are considered, and to reduce the likelihood of infiltration by
Disinformation Agents. See ANNEX C to the League's Press Release
("The Top 100 Real Men in Black")."
ANNEX A - Current leading applications
(1) Professor A. S. , University of [redacted], USA:
Those that have previously researched UFO reports (self-styled
"Ufologists") have failed to address various key issues in
relation to such reports, possibly due to their limited
intellectual abilities. I propose using the League's funding to:
(a) organise a multi-disciplinary symposium of scientists from
various fields to discuss the most efficient and effective means
of studying so-called "UFO" reports.
(b) implement the most promising of the ideas generated by such a
symposium.
(2) Dr R. E., University of [redacted], USA
A number of "ufologists" have asserted that there are "patterns"
within the UFO data. I have had difficulty in finding any
satisfactory database of UFO sighting upon which to perform
statistical analysis. Funding is necessary to compile such a
database (complete with bibliographic references), which can then
be made available to researchers for analysis.
(3) Dr I. O., University of [redacted], USA
Why do some people believe in UFOs? Why do some people claim
that that have seen, or been inside a UFO? I need funding to
obtain polling data on those that believe in, or believe they
have seen, UFOs in order to analyse their pecularities. Perhaps
some common thread or pathology can be identified in those
afflicted with such beliefs.
(4) Mr T. G., Aerial Phenomena Tracking Association
Looking into old UFO reports has gotten ufology nowhere in 60
years of research and investigation. Rather than a reactive
approach, we now need a proactive approach. I would use money
from the League to set up a number of multi-disciplinary "rapid
response" teams of investigators, including a representative of
the physical sciences and a representative of the psychological
sciences. Each team would be provided with an appropriate
vehicle (e.g. a van or bus) fitted with relevant photographic
and other instrumentation.
(5) Ms D. E., Feminists for UFO Research
Why does everyone have to argue when they discuss UFOs? Adopting
a feminist approach which seeks consensus and harmony, I would
only require limited funds to organise a panel of UFO proponents
and constructive sceptics. The panel would work together to
identify common ground and seek mutual understanding and
respect. There are more things that can be agreed upon than the
rhetoric of ufologists and sceptics would generally suggest.
(6) Ms S. W., Independent Researcher
Much of the material on the Internet in relation to UFOs is crap
(please excuse my French!!). Some of the best material is only
available off-line, and can be expensive or hard to find. Some
material is practically impossible to obtain outside the USA. I
would use any money which the League is kind enough to supply to
me to fund the scanning of some of the best such material, and
make the scanned material available online or on CDs for a
nominal charge. In particular, I understand the very interesting
and informative booklets on the history of ufology by Loren
Gross are not yet available either online or on CD, despite an
indication by Jan Aldrich back in January 1999 on the Project
1947 List that Loren Gross had said that " something that does
not take up his time would be all right". This is just one of
many missed opportunities within ufology. I don't need much
money to fund this project. In relation to the Loren Gross scans
for a CD or website, I can probably find volunteers with
scanning equipment. I probably just need postage to cover the
cost of someone sending me a copy of each booklet, any the cost
of posting the booklets back.
(7) Garfield Lestrange of the Bridgewater UFO, Crop-circle
Research And Paranormal Mysteries Research Organisation
(BUFOCRAPMRORG):
A sum of 1 million dollars is needed to facilitate the creation
of our new international headquarters, and new bicycles for our
field investigators.
ANNEX B : TERMS AND CONDITIONS
(1) The Applicant agrees that by submitting an electronic copy
of this Application, he/she shall be deemed to have signed an
agreement containing these terms and conditions.
(2) The Applicant hereby warrants that the proposal for study
into reports of so-called Unidentified Flying Objects ("UFOs")
is entirely his own work.
(3) The Applicant acknowledges that the amount awarded in
respect of this Application is entirely within the sole
discretion of the Judge or Judges, and shall in any event not
exceed $25 million.
(4) The Applicant:
(a) declares that he is not, and has never been, a
Disinformation Agent.
(b) agrees not to become an individual within Paragraph 4(a)
above.
(5) To enable monitoring of compliance with Paragraph 4 above,
the Applicant hereby waives in perpetuity his rights under
Article 8 of the European Convention on Human Rights.
(6) To ensure compliance with Paragraph 4 above, the Applicant
hereby waives in perpetuity his rights under Articles 2 and 3 of
the European Convention on Human Rights.
(7) The waivers in Paragraphs 5 and 6 to this Press Release will
be binding upon each Applicant regardless of the success or
failure of the Application.
(8) As provided in Article 16 of the European Convention on
Human Rights, these provisions shall not have any effect upon
aliens.
(9) The provisions of this agreement are not severable. If any
clause is held to be invalid and/or unenforceable, then the
entire agreement shall be deemed to be void.
(10) All Applications shall be governed by English law and
subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the O. F. ( O.L.) High
Court, England. Any claims in relation to an Application must be
submitted to said Court by the first day in April in the year
following the accrual of a cause of action.
(11) The total amount of funding to be provided for UFO research
by the League is subject to various considerations, including
the resources available to the League following any and all
payments to the League's Captains around the world and to the
League's hundreds of alliance partners ( i.e. those that support
the work of the League and/or supply valuable services - such as
the League's "milkman").
(12) The decision(s) of the Judge or Judges shall be final. No
correspondence shall be entered into.
ANNEX C - THE TOP 100 REAL "MEN IN BLACK"
We understand that there may be some reluctance to accept the
bona fides of the Funding Opportunity Of the League. Therefore,
as an indication of the VAST resources and funding at our
disposal (and to indicate the grounds for our concern about
dealing with any of the established UFO research groups), we
present below brief non-exhaustive EXTRACTS from a database
which we have caused to be compiled.
These extracts from our FULLY referenced database indicate
individuals within the UFO research community that have admitted
working, or been reported to have worked, as (or with)
Government Agents.
The following list of the real Men In Black was compiled on
behalf of the Aerial Phenomena Research and Investigation League
("the League") by researcher Andy Miller. The League is proud to
release these extracts today, 1st April 2007. Today is an
important day is the League. As always, researchers should check
the facts for themselves and not place any reliance upon the
mere assertion of these details in the following list. If
anything should be learnt from the history of ufological
research, it is that claims should not necessary be taken at
face
value.
(1) Adamski, George (infamous contactee that claimed contact
with aliens during the 1950s)
Several researchers have indicated that George Adamski worked
for, or was duped by, the CIA or other intelligence agency in
order to cause ufology to look ridiculous and draw attention away
from authentic evidence [see Footnote A]. An Australian
individual that hosted Adamski during his tour of Australia
reported that Adamski travelled with a passport bearing special
privileges [See Footnote B].
[Footnote A] Discussed by Jerome Clark in his "The UFO
Encyclopedia: The Phenomenon from the Beginning - 2 nd edition :

(2) Allin, Mark (Co-owner of the popular AboveTopSecret.com
discussion forum, uses the codename "Springer") :
Laura Knight Jadczyk has reported that "the ATS website is just
one more government-funded damage control operation" (see
Footnote A) and later confirmed that " abovetopsecret.com is just
a nest of vipers, hoaxers and probably a central node for
internet COINTELPRO funded by the Pentagon and backed by Dick
"Shoot First, Ask Questions Later" Cheney (see Footnote B).
Furthermore, the registered offices of ATS are owned by a British
Governmental entity (see Footnote C). During March 2007, one of
the three co-owners of ATS admitted under questioning that ATS
received support from the National Security Agency (see Footnote
D) including the services of 10 computer programmers (see
Footnote E), and that he met with NSA officials in Aruba (see
Footnote F). One of the co-owners of AboveTopSecret.com has
written that : "AboveTopSecret.com is a professional "COINTELPRO"
operation using secret black-operations funding to publish and
promote disinformation as part of the U.S. Government's agenda to
deflect and discredit conspiracy theorists" (see Footnote G).

documents relating to that project at Footnote D). Furthermore,
Bill Cooper (see entry above on Bill Cooper) has revealed that
Stanton Friedman is "CIA all the way" and that he saw Naval
Intelligence documents which give this researcher's name as an
active intelligence agency asset [see Footnote D]. Paul Kimball
(a Canadian film-maker) has written that "... Friedman is highly
suspect, and probably an agent of the government. " (see Footnote

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: FUNDING OF UP TO $25 MILLION FOR UFO
RESEARCH
1 April 2007, by Andy Miller on behalf of the Aerial Phenomena
Research and Investigation League.
In exciting news that is likely to thrill UFO researchers around
the world, at a press conference yesterday morning Andy Miller
made the following announcement:
"This is the final call by the Aerial Phenomena Research and
Investigation League ("the League") for submission of proposals
for funding of research into reports of Unidentified Flying
Objects (UFOs). Funding of an amount not exceeding US Dollars
25 million is being made available for UFO research by the
League."
Each individual application for funding must, however, not
exceed US Dollars 1 million to maximise the number of
meritorious proposals that can be funded by the League.
In remarks made at the press conference regarding the Funding
Opportunity Of the League, Andrew Miller (a Major in the League,
and not related to acclaimed English researcher Stuart Miller)
stated that this move was "ground-breaking, and potentially
Earth-shattering. It's time to pick up the pace of progress."
Any individual that wishes to apply for such funds must register
their interest by 4pm on 1 April 2007 by sending a brief outline
("the Application") of their proposal by email to
ufoleague[at]gmail.com .
The Application should not exceed 300 words in length. Further
details of a proposal may be requested by the League if deemed
necessary and appropriate.
Some of the Applications received prior to this final call for
funding are included within ANNEX A, to illustrate the diverse
range of interesting ideas that have been put forward thus far.
These represent (in no particular order) the best of ideas
received so far. The League hopes that this final call for
funding will, however, result in even better ideas being
generated.
Each Application shall be deemed to incorporate the terms and
conditions set out in the agreement attached as ANNEX B to this
Press Release. The Applicant agrees that by submitting a
proposal to the League, he/she shall be deemed to be have signed
the said agreements. (Thus, an actual signature is not
required and the proposal can merely be sent as an email or word
processed document).
Andy Miller ended the press conference by stating that he had
time to take a couple of quick questions.
"Q : Why set up yet another UFO organisation, rather than provide
funding to serious ufologists via existing UFO groups, such as
the well respected organisation FUFOR?"
"A: An independent group is necessary in order to provide money
directly to serious ufologists, due to a concern that established
UFO groups may have been compromised by Disinformation Agents.
See ANNEX C to the League's Press Release ("The Top 100 Real Men
in Black")."
"Q: Why do initial proposals have to be submitted so soon after
this final call for submissions?"
"A:To ensure that only highly active participants within ufology
are considered, and to reduce the likelihood of infiltration by
Disinformation Agents. See ANNEX C to the League's Press Release
("The Top 100 Real Men in Black")."
ANNEX A - Current leading applications
(1) Professor A. S. , University of [redacted], USA:
Those that have previously researched UFO reports (self-styled
"Ufologists") have failed to address various key issues in
relation to such reports, possibly due to their limited
intellectual abilities. I propose using the League's funding to:
(a) organise a multi-disciplinary symposium of scientists from
various fields to discuss the most efficient and effective means
of studying so-called "UFO" reports.
(b) implement the most promising of the ideas generated by such a
symposium.
(2) Dr R. E., University of [redacted], USA
A number of "ufologists" have asserted that there are "patterns"
within the UFO data. I have had difficulty in finding any
satisfactory database of UFO sighting upon which to perform
statistical analysis. Funding is necessary to compile such a
database (complete with bibliographic references), which can then
be made available to researchers for analysis.
(3) Dr I. O., University of [redacted], USA
Why do some people believe in UFOs? Why do some people claim
that that have seen, or been inside a UFO? I need funding to
obtain polling data on those that believe in, or believe they
have seen, UFOs in order to analyse their pecularities. Perhaps
some common thread or pathology can be identified in those
afflicted with such beliefs.
(4) Mr T. G., Aerial Phenomena Tracking Association
Looking into old UFO reports has gotten ufology nowhere in 60
years of research and investigation. Rather than a reactive
approach, we now need a proactive approach. I would use money
from the League to set up a number of multi-disciplinary "rapid
response" teams of investigators, including a representative of
the physical sciences and a representative of the psychological
sciences. Each team would be provided with an appropriate
vehicle (e.g. a van or bus) fitted with relevant photographic
and other instrumentation.
(5) Ms D. E., Feminists for UFO Research
Why does everyone have to argue when they discuss UFOs? Adopting
a feminist approach which seeks consensus and harmony, I would
only require limited funds to organise a panel of UFO proponents
and constructive sceptics. The panel would work together to
identify common ground and seek mutual understanding and
respect. There are more things that can be agreed upon than the
rhetoric of ufologists and sceptics would generally suggest.
(6) Ms S. W., Independent Researcher
Much of the material on the Internet in relation to UFOs is crap
(please excuse my French!!). Some of the best material is only
available off-line, and can be expensive or hard to find. Some
material is practically impossible to obtain outside the USA. I
would use any money which the League is kind enough to supply to
me to fund the scanning of some of the best such material, and
make the scanned material available online or on CDs for a
nominal charge. In particular, I understand the very interesting
and informative booklets on the history of ufology by Loren
Gross are not yet available either online or on CD, despite an
indication by Jan Aldrich back in January 1999 on the Project
1947 List that Loren Gross had said that " something that does
not take up his time would be all right". This is just one of
many missed opportunities within ufology. I don't need much
money to fund this project. In relation to the Loren Gross scans
for a CD or website, I can probably find volunteers with
scanning equipment. I probably just need postage to cover the
cost of someone sending me a copy of each booklet, any the cost
of posting the booklets back.
(7) Garfield Lestrange of the Bridgewater UFO, Crop-circle
Research And Paranormal Mysteries Research Organisation
(BUFOCRAPMRORG):
A sum of 1 million dollars is needed to facilitate the creation
of our new international headquarters, and new bicycles for our
field investigators.
ANNEX B : TERMS AND CONDITIONS
(1) The Applicant agrees that by submitting an electronic copy
of this Application, he/she shall be deemed to have signed an
agreement containing these terms and conditions.
(2) The Applicant hereby warrants that the proposal for study
into reports of so-called Unidentified Flying Objects ("UFOs")
is entirely his own work.
(3) The Applicant acknowledges that the amount awarded in
respect of this Application is entirely within the sole
discretion of the Judge or Judges, and shall in any event not
exceed $25 million.
(4) The Applicant:
(a) declares that he is not, and has never been, a
Disinformation Agent.
(b) agrees not to become an individual within Paragraph 4(a)
above.
(5) To enable monitoring of compliance with Paragraph 4 above,
the Applicant hereby waives in perpetuity his rights under
Article 8 of the European Convention on Human Rights.
(6) To ensure compliance with Paragraph 4 above, the Applicant
hereby waives in perpetuity his rights under Articles 2 and 3 of
the European Convention on Human Rights.
(7) The waivers in Paragraphs 5 and 6 to this Press Release will
be binding upon each Applicant regardless of the success or
failure of the Application.
(8) As provided in Article 16 of the European Convention on
Human Rights, these provisions shall not have any effect upon
aliens.
(9) The provisions of this agreement are not severable. If any
clause is held to be invalid and/or unenforceable, then the
entire agreement shall be deemed to be void.
(10) All Applications shall be governed by English law and
subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the O. F. ( O.L.) High
Court, England. Any claims in relation to an Application must be
submitted to said Court by the first day in April in the year
following the accrual of a cause of action.
(11) The total amount of funding to be provided for UFO research
by the League is subject to various considerations, including
the resources available to the League following any and all
payments to the League's Captains around the world and to the
League's hundreds of alliance partners ( i.e. those that support
the work of the League and/or supply valuable services - such as
the League's "milkman").
(12) The decision(s) of the Judge or Judges shall be final. No
correspondence shall be entered into.
ANNEX C - THE TOP 100 REAL "MEN IN BLACK"
We understand that there may be some reluctance to accept the
bona fides of the Funding Opportunity Of the League. Therefore,
as an indication of the VAST resources and funding at our
disposal (and to indicate the grounds for our concern about
dealing with any of the established UFO research groups), we
present below brief non-exhaustive EXTRACTS from a database
which we have caused to be compiled.
These extracts from our FULLY referenced database indicate
individuals within the UFO research community that have admitted
working, or been reported to have worked, as (or with)
Government Agents.
The following list of the real Men In Black was compiled on
behalf of the Aerial Phenomena Research and Investigation League
("the League") by researcher Andy Miller. The League is proud to
release these extracts today, 1st April 2007. Today is an
important day is the League. As always, researchers should check
the facts for themselves and not place any reliance upon the
mere assertion of these details in the following list. If
anything should be learnt from the history of ufological
research, it is that claims should not necessary be taken at
face
value.
(1) Adamski, George (infamous contactee that claimed contact
with aliens during the 1950s)
Several researchers have indicated that George Adamski worked
for, or was duped by, the CIA or other intelligence agency in
order to cause ufology to look ridiculous and draw attention away
from authentic evidence [see Footnote A]. An Australian
individual that hosted Adamski during his tour of Australia
reported that Adamski travelled with a passport bearing special
privileges [See Footnote B].

(2) Allin, Mark (Co-owner of the popular AboveTopSecret.com
discussion forum, uses the codename "Springer") :
Laura Knight Jadczyk has reported that "the ATS website is just
one more government-funded damage control operation" (see
Footnote A) and later confirmed that " abovetopsecret.com is just
a nest of vipers, hoaxers and probably a central node for
internet COINTELPRO funded by the Pentagon and backed by Dick
"Shoot First, Ask Questions Later" Cheney (see Footnote B).
Furthermore, the registered offices of ATS are owned by a British
Governmental entity (see Footnote C). During March 2007, one of
the three co-owners of ATS admitted under questioning that ATS
received support from the National Security Agency (see Footnote
D) including the services of 10 computer programmers (see
Footnote E), and that he met with NSA officials in Aruba (see
Footnote F). One of the co-owners of AboveTopSecret.com has
written that : "AboveTopSecret.com is a professional "COINTELPRO"
operation using secret black-operations funding to publish and
promote disinformation as part of the U.S. Government's agenda to
deflect and discredit conspiracy theorists" (see Footnote G).
