Russian Navy Releases UFO Files

Russian Navy Releases UFO Files
July 22, 2009

The Russian navy has declassified its records of encounters with unidentified objects technologically surpassing anything humanity ever built, reports Svobodnaya Pressa news website.

The records dating back to soviet times were compiled by a special navy group collecting reports of unexplained incidents delivered by submarines and military ships. The group was headed by deputy Navy commander Admiral Nikolay Smirnov, and the documents reveal numerous cases of possible UFO encounters, the website says.

Vladimir Azhazha, former navy officer and a famous Russian UFO researcher, says the materials are of great value.

“Fifty percent of UFO encounters are connected with oceans. Fifteen more – with lakes. So UFOs tend to stick to the water,” he said.

On one occasion a nuclear submarine, which was on a combat mission in the Pacific Ocean, detected six unknown objects. After the crew failed to leave behind their pursuers by maneuvering, the captain ordered to surface. The objects followed suit, took to the air, and flew away.

Many mysterious events happened in the region of Bermuda Triangle, recalls retired submarine commander Rear Admiral Yury Beketov. Instruments malfunctioned with no apparent reason or detected strong interference. The former navy officer says this could be deliberate disruption by UFOs.

Vladimir Kremlev for RT. Click to enlarge “On several occasions the instruments gave reading of material objects moving at incredible speed. Calculations showed speeds of about 230 knots, of 400 kph. Speeding so fast is a challenge even on the surface. But water resistance is much higher. It was like the objects defied the laws of physics. There’s only one explanation: the creatures who built them far surpass us in development,” Beketov said.Navy intelligence veteran, Captain 1st rank Igor Barklay comments:

“Ocean UFOs often show up wherever our or NATO’s fleets concentrate. Near Bahamas, Bermudas, Puerto Rico. They are most often seen in the deepest part of the Atlantic Ocean, in the southern part of the Bermuda Triangle, and also in the Caribbean Sea.”

Another place where people often report UFO encounters is Russia’s Lake Baikal, the deepest fresh water body in the world. Fishermen tell of powerful lights coming from the deep and objects flying up from the water.

In one case in 1982 a group of military divers training at Baikal spotted a group of humanoid creatures dressed in silvery suits. The encounter happened at a depth of 50 meters, and the divers tried to catch the strangers. Three of the seven men died, while four others were severely injured.

“I think about underwater bases and say: why not? Nothing should be discarded,” says Vladimir Azhazha. “Skepticism is the easiest way: believe nothing, do nothing. People rarely visit great depths. So it’s very important to analyze what they encounter there.”

Purpose and Reason in Conceptual Communications

Communication examination on the subject of extraterrestrials and contact has been and still is a critical need in current human reality. When we pause to consider that in the last hundred years our population explosion, our use of electricity and mechanical devices, including nuclear technology, as well as our many forms of broadcast communications, we have literally ‘lit up’ our world. It is akin to setting up a digital billboard in your front yard advertising your presence. Therefore it can be theorized that the matter of Extra-terrestrial Contact is a subject which if we don’t go to the trouble of immersing ourselves in before-hand, it will come home to roost literally over our heads eventually, unexpected, into a population unsettled by its complete surprise to the event.

Beyond the obvious discussions engaged in the subject matter within Exopolitics, Ufology, and Science Fiction Literature, who else has made early efforts at broaching this topic? And what is its importance to Exopolitical Mediation? A recent article from a website in the exopolitical field specializing in exopsychology has examined the sparse address of the subject and notes the following:

“Theologians take the prize for being first off the mark, for having had lengthy discussions about the existence of extraterrestrials, and possible contact scenarios. Their work has been so extensive that it deserves a separate entry,” [1} – Michael Gintowt.

Mr. Gintowt, a notable psychologist delving into exopsychology, has published another remarkable article on his blog: Exopsychology In the article titled “Exoisms: foreshadowing of a New Age, or macro-egoism?” he examines the “trailblazers who have considered the implications of contact with an Intelligent Extraterrestrial Race (ET).” He explores his interest in the meaning and relevance of visionary extensions into an uncertain future and considers how the strength of our collective vanity as a race may hinder us in our conceptual explorations of contact scenarios. For all those interested in the mechanics involved in exopolitical mediation, I highly recommend this article for it gives due consideration to the baggage which all participants, including the Mediator, his or herself, can and will bring to the communications table.

Our examinations of contact scenarios are forms of conceptual communications or if you prefer, preparations for experiential communications in which the concepts or abstract notions and mental impressions of contact scenarios are played out in practice. These surface from our collective understanding of reality, incorporating endless ideas of what ET life might exist as, and then are experimented with for their logic and potentialities. Within these scenarios are enmeshed contact mythologies and sometimes even the asserted Contact Experience. Michael rightly explores our psychological reasonings, aspirations, and pursuit of “uncertain patterns”.

After relating a number of examples, he goes on to say, “that the evidence (for contact) is not crystal clear, unambiguous, and simple to behold. It is fuzzy, vague, incomplete, and a perfect backdrop for the projection of our mental contents.”

Now how do these explorations benefit exopolitical mediation? What does this understanding of evidence for contact as ambiguous or incomplete, bring to the communication table or the application of a mediator skills? Of what use is conceptual communications on the subject of Contact to exopolitical mediation? This is where I think we revitalize how we look at communication. ”Looking at communication, not just through it to see how it affects other things, gives us a way of thinking about the events and objects of the social world that differs substantially from the modernistic way of thinking. Our attention is drawn to wholes rather than parts; to dynamics rather than substances; to reflectivity rather than linear relations; and to interactions rather than single actions,” [2] W. Barnett Pearce, School of Human and Organization Development, Fielding Graduate University.

The conceptual communications within the dynamics of Exopolitics or those built during mediation or even others presented complete through the direct contact experiencer, gives us the ability to closely examine the root context within which the information originates for the purpose of deep understanding of the communications and participants involved. It will likely be a conglomeration of the participants and experiencer’s interpretations and the source intent of their experience. Context in exopolitical mediation includes but is not limited to, the experiencer’s and participants’ culture, their psychological state, their educational and life experience level, and their personal mythos of individual existence…so too will it also include the level of ability, type and style of communication, and intents on the part of the extra-terrestrial contacting party, as well as a whole series of contextual ranges on the part of the receiving public who is without doubt a theoretical if not actual participant in the mediation circle. An in-depth examination of context is very important to facilitating the mediator’s understanding of the participants involved in the mediation. This examination of context allows us to delineate the actual identity of participants in the mediation circle.

It is in my mind to suggest that it may be worthy for exopolitical mediators to look, within the context, at the instigator of both our own ‘mental contents’ and that of our participants various ‘mental contents’, the oh so infamous ego, as another participant to the mediation circle. The ego inserts its own purposes and needs and therefore may transcend or overtake the communication process, intent, or specific content. By placing the ego within its own category as a participant we give ourselves awareness of its presence and It, its own voice, so that we can therefore gain an opportunity to separate it from the originating source of individual communications.

What is ego? Is it a true representation of us? When we stop to consider ego in our lives, most of us would say no, that is not truly us, not deep down because we have separated what we tend to fall into existentially from what we think of ourselves as mentally, and what we expect or strive for ourselves to be. The pressure to conform to our human ego is very great. Our egos are wrapped up in our social perception of societal expectations which are both extrinsic, concerning relationships of our social groups, and intrinsic, concerning our own behavior, opinions, issues, values, and goals as expected by ourselves or of us by our social groups. The ego is a construct of all these things and does not always adhere to what we really believe or value in ourselves or others.

The exopolitical mediator can use the delineation and identification of ego in the scope of examining conceptual communications and their contexts to increase his or her ‘interpersonal linkage power '[3]. This power is the mediator's ability based on their perceived influence with people who control psychological or social resources within a participatory group. This power is necessary to developing a group culture among participants where a collective personality and point of view or understanding is negotiated by the members (participants) of the mediation group; in whatever way those participants are defined in the mediation process.

In closing I offer a reference to conceptual communications, in which Michael Gintowt refers to speculation about ETs, giving it a definition as, “about attempting to lead the way into the future, to break new ground, to innovate, to find meaning in work, and contribute by asking questions, as opposed to furnishing answers – which is a good thing, because excellent science is based on asking the right questions.”

[Congratulations go to the theologians for taking the initiative to be among the trail-blazers, those who dove in first.]

Discerning Conduits of Influence and Communication in Exopolitical Mediation

Discerning Conduits of Influence and Communication in Exopolitical Mediation
By Cyrellys Geibhendach
May 20, 2009

In Exopolitical Mediation, communication among parties rarely occurs within a typical mediation setting. In mainstream typical mediation, individual participants meet directly with the mediator first individually and then collectively in an agreed upon location. In Exopolitical Mediation the mediator may be directly involved in only one of the participants but provides avenues of information exchange to the public, among other participants, and among other exopolitical conduits. Connection with the public, for example, can range in its extensiveness from a simple release of a report on the internet to the more involved release of a book with corresponding interviews and other promotional activities. Exopolitical Mediation in this way immediately deviates from typical traditional forms of Mediation. However there remains universal aspects to it such as confidentiality of the participants. This makes some of the mechanics of exopolitical mediation unique in the general field of mediation.

Exopolitical Mediation currently occurs in a setting where the Mediator may administer contact with a paradigm participant or source, who holds a perceived position of purposeful leadership in or for that particular release. This does not mean that all communication within the mediation case occurs in conduit through the Mediator. Often the Mediator represents only one avenue of communication and networks in the open with other conduits which may well vary in nature. An example of a variant of conduit can be seen in a release of a recent article in the NY Times, entitled “A Climate Solution That’s Out Of This World”[1]. This variant is a unspecific non-mediated example under the understanding within Exopolitics that the mainstream media outlets are heavily controlled and restricted from serious publication of information or dialog on the subject of extra-terrestrial contact. So for such a release as the one referenced to occur, a sanction to communicate under specific conditions is assumed to have been given. This defines the article as a representation of communication from an additional conduit in an environment still engulfed in secrecy and non-disclosure orientation.

Recognizing additional conduits in a multi-factional environment is a problematic issue for Exopolitical Mediators. Most of this problem can be mitigated by having an understanding of the current exopolitical condition which includes continually evolving evaluative analysis of the existential evidence of a contact control structure. Exopolitical Mediators try to balance their understanding of the exopolitical condition through extensive reading and networking with other exopoliticians. Through these forms of self-education the productive and destructive strategies used by the contact paradigm constituents becomes apparent. An effective Exopolitical Mediator develops his or her ability to ‘listen carefully for’ other conduits within the paradigm. “In the most general sense, we have communication whenever one system, a source, influences another, the destination, by manipulation of alternative signals which can be transferred over the channel connecting them,” Osgood.[2]

The variety and necessity of obscure communication conduits arose out of the inherent or perceived needs of the parties behind them, in the pervasive secrecy climate of the last sixty odd years. The contact paradigm has carried the highest level of secrecy status possible within the United States as far as government and its contact paradigm extensions have been concerned. This has caused a fractured and multi-factional situation whereas the realms (social worlds) of pro and non-disclosure are again broken into many portions which continue fractional existence in many compartmentalized sub-groups. The extent of sub-groupment is not fully known at this time but releasing sources have routinely described the compartmental nature of the contact control structure and the confusing web of geopolitical inter-relationships which have grown so complex as to defy rational explanations or descriptions. These inter-relations compete with each other on many levels and spill over into the public presence where they are taken up and mirrored by open humanity in its opinions, and aggressive competing behaviors.

It is important for the Exopolitical Mediator to be aware of the variety and subtleness of communication forms and conduits in order to understand the various social worlds which lie within the contact paradigm. When the mediator understand the social worlds involved then it becomes possible to understand the various survival strategies and goals which pervade them. The Exopolitical Mediator comes face to face with these strategies and goals in life changing ways and must work among them to achieve cohesion of the participants in the evolutionary environment of potential human disclosure. “If we believe that the way we communicate makes the social world in which we live, and that these forms of communication make different social worlds, then it follows that, if we are to accept our responsibility for making the kind of social world in which we want to live and which we want to bequeath to our grandchildren, we should develop our ability to discern, differentiate, and selectively call into being preferred forms of communication,” W. Barnett Pearce.[3]

There are many types of survival strategies which are associated with the forces behind individual conduits. The nature of the individual strategies involved, also vary in the perceptibility of their existential natures. It is up to the mediator to be discerning to every extent possible to comprehend those natures. Some of the strategies encountered will be either pro-disclosure nature or non-disclosure nature with contents that range among conflict avoidance strategies, competitive conflict strategies, and cooperative strategies. It is the responsibility of the exopolitical mediator to focus on the process by which he is managing his interaction with these strategies and to try to avoid getting caught up in the conflict generating potential some of them have. The exopolitical mediator is not there wage a war but is there to assist the participants to communicate, establish connection and interaction, and to help them find their acceptable avenues for future development of collective options, goals, and common ground.

The Damage of Silence

I've been off sifting through current events and wrangling with other disclosure enthusiasts over at Open Minds Forum for the last couple months. In the course of that time I came to note a problem faced by insiders when they make an effort to reach out to the public around them. The problem is that sixty odd years of veritable silence on the part of the keepers of the extraterrestrial contact paradigm has caused not only a great deal of cynicism within the ufology & exopolitics community but also an inability for the community members to accept a presentation of a very basic form of physical contact experience reported from whistleblowers or even partially sanctioned insiders.

Back in the early nineties the door was wide open to insiders of the contact control structure which manages the paradigm within the various bodies of government, military, and corporate contractors, a secluded world unto their own. When repeated attempts at cracking the lid of secrecy failed in the past, new theories for ETs apparent obscure behavior and the governments inability to connect with the public began to form.

Today those theories have taken shape in the terminology of 'phenomenology'. Enthusiasts of ufological & exopolitical analysis claim that disclosure is not in the hands of government officials, or even the PTB. Those powers are said to be ultimately incapable of achieving an honest disclosure especially one that brings their unique history along to the table for healing and understanding to occur. These new theories claim that only ET is capable of achieving disclosure. They claim that it will only be the ETs themselves who will determine the time, place, and nature of disclosure. It is also claimed that perhaps disclosure has not happened because ET does not want it. ET in the eyes of many human observers is satisfied with teasing humans and then leaving them hanging wanting desperately to understand and confused about why they keep their distance.

A part of this has to do with a jumbled stew pot of different ET types, a multitude of vaguely understood or hyper analyzed personal contact experiences along with similar items of better handling and more professional examination, all glommed together under one heading which depict Contact in confusing contexts and then are drawn out into etherial assumptions where questions raised by one species behavior are regularly attributed or grouped together with the behavior and experiences associated with others among the less experienced researchers in the field which comprise the largest and most vocal portion of the ufological and exopolitical community. Add to all this mix a wild array of existential possibilities and technology obviously so far advanced beyond our current capabilities as to seem magical or more interdimensional than associated with our mundane neck of the scientific/technological woods...it is no small wonder the task faced by Insiders and future world body Disclosers is ostensibly daunting, especially when they attempt to test and measure the waters. The ufology & exopolitical community is their own worst enemy making it so easy for governmental insiders to throw their hands in the air and run back to the comparative sanity and safety of the contact control structure from whence they originated.

Whereas the CCS, contact control structure, so labled for lack of a more official term has been largely silent for the last sixty years, the ufology & relatively new exopolitical communities have not. The sprawling U & E community have been very busy little beavers ravanously chewing their way through collecting, investigating, cataloging, and analyzing mountains of data, (documents, first-hand contact experiences from witnesses, ufo siting events, whistleblower testimonies, physical evidences, and collaborative study and analysis efforts) found within this paradigm in the absence of more official participation. In this absence of the CCS, these people stepped up to the plate and did what governments were failing to do publicly. Many members have thirty or more years of indepth experience and study in this material which would make both mainstream professional journalists and university scholars blush for being caught out of the loop with their pants around their ankles. A tremendous amount of praise must be heaped upon these individuals who took it upon themselves armed with little more than basic life skills and the scientific method, who jumped in with often times only personal funds to work with, and donated their lives to self education in the paradigm and dissemination to the public through websites, books, scholarly publications, blogs, wikizines, transparant associations, institutes, and conferences of what they learned.

The end results of the subject matter has been always open to lively debate. This is the consequence of openness and transparancy. Sometimes the liveliness gets so heated that fur flies and proverbial blood is spilled, but in the end the paradigm with all its questions and fascinating revelations remains and humanity flocks to it in their inherent curiosity where no age is too old or too young. In sixty years there has not occured any hard fast rules to apply to this subject other than bring proof for your claims and expect to be piled apon by both sharp and dull minds saturated with serious inquiry and personal biases which will pounce upon what you provide and analyze it seven ways to Sunday, and then drive it soundly into the ground of history with all the power their scrutiny can muster.

They're Experts At Failure to Get It Right: Mainstream Major Media

The major media outlets response to recent historic events has been less than professional. It is in fact rather pathetic. There is no surprise in this quarter where the well informed see it as but one more symptom of a defunct system of information exchange rapidly being replaced by online magazines, discussion boards, and blogs.

Ridicule apparently is the only dish served in the major media delicatessens. It is very easy to fall back to such disgraceful lack of fulfillment of professional obligations. It means you do not have to stretch your own mind or the minds of your viewers or readers. There is no real research or education involved. You don't need to worry about negative responses because you base your decisions upon the vocal portions of human society which participate in your worthless ratings and gravitate to feeding frenzies.

If appearances are reality then major media only caters to the dead-heads and dull of spirit in today's society. Its sole purpose generated to fill the empty sound space of the apathetic. The true intellectuals, adventurers, and curiosity seekers have long since wandered away. Real news is not to be found in those resources anymore. The real movers and shakers of humanity, both young and old, now move along the colorful fast paced high quantity data corridors of the online super-highway. Doorways to real events which matter more to the general public are to be found here with ease. On demand communication and interaction with participants spur a widening gap between online resources and the quaint but twisted forms of news spin and distribution like FOX NEWS, CNN, MSNBC, CBS, ABC, REUTERS, and a whole battalion of physical newspaper & magazine publications guilty of the same inept laziness.

Those recipients of major media's sad worthless brand of news, trapped within that graying world, have no idea the most amazing event humanity has ever experienced is unfolding around them. They are missing the boat. Is it their fault? Maybe. There could be many reasons for it. Perhaps a lack of enthusiasm for life. The couch is so soft and their day too long to care. Hard to say. It is something one could speculate upon for hours. Meanwhile the excitement and flurry of meetings and jostling over the UFO/ET Contact issue over at the UN goes virtually unnoticed.

The UK UFO Document Release

The United Kingdom has joined the growing ranks of countries releasing documents pertaining to UFOs. World wide there is a growing awareness of the existence of UFOs and that they have been here for a very long time.

We in the UFO & Contact Research Community are seeing a distinct easing of the ‘giggle-factor’ as new competent interested minds join in unison with veteran researchers to address the influx and analysis of the additional data.

Additionally, there is an increased awareness of the work involved in assisting insiders around the world who are coming forward from their respective governmental, scientific, industrial, and social positions to add their unique history and perspectives to this cumulative awareness.

Interested public participants in this new paradigm are increasingly from professional ranks like doctors, attorneys, various elected officials, techno-crats of all types, emergency assistance professionals such as firefighters, aviation specialists, and the list goes on.

We are embarking on a new journey into a perspective that humanity is but one of many intelligent entities residing in reality. This raises new questions for our civilization to consider. Questions such as how do we relate to these new possibilities? How do we conduct ourselves? How will our thoughts, words, actions, and deeds reflect us as a new member in a galactic society populated by peoples quite possibly far our seniors?

As disclosure of this reality unfolds we will have many opportunities to address these questions and make choices in relation. Will our choices reflect renegade behavior, destructive nature, unethical purposes? One researcher once observed that of the hundred or more cataloged species known to ufology through accounts recorded over the last 60 or more years that only 20 to 25 % of those known are considered to be of a malevolent type. So here is your first real consideration….do you choose that our presence in this neck of the universe increase that number? I believe it is time everyone pauses to consider just what sort of citizen we wish to be in this new context.

UK News 14 May 2008 MoD Release 'X Files' The Ministry of Defence (MoD) has released classified information on unexplained aerial sightings for the first time.The files dating back to the 1970s have been released on the National Archives' website today.

They include descriptions of alleged Unidentified Aerial Phenomenon - or Unidentified Flying Objects of 'UFOs' - and subsequent evaluations of reports.Up to now, independent experts have concluded that there are logical explanations behind alleged UFO reports, such as aircraft or natural phenomena.

The MoD examines UFO reports to determine whether they could be aircraft illegally in UK airspace.According to a Question & Answer brief on the report released by the National Archives, the MoD "does not doubt the genuineness of many people's interest in UFOs. However, it states that the MoD's own interest is limited to the "defence aspect".

The MoD believes that their investigations are necessary as "the maintenance of the integrity of UK air space requires that the Ministry of Defence should be satisfied that any UFO is not an intruding aircraft".

The Government does not consider that there is any justification for the expenditure of public money on a study of UFOs.In the report, sightings are recorded at many RAF stations such as RAF Binbrook, RAF Staxton Wold and RAF Manston. It is recorded that UFO's have been sighted with the naked eye "hovering over houses in Eastern Avenue North, Northampton" and one such object had "red flashing lights on the top". It is also recorded that another object was "round in shape" and "colours varied between electric blue, green, red, orange and deep purple.

In a draft of a closing address in a UFO Debate in The Lords, it states: "Intelligent life could exist elsewhere in the universe. With 100,000 millions stars in our own galaxy alone, it is probable that there are many planets capable of supporting life." But, the draft also added "even at the speed of light, it would take four years to reach the nearest star, and 100,000 years to cross our galaxy". It concluded however "ufology may be a pleasant fantasy but has nothing to do with the truth".

Nick Pope, former UFO investigator at the Ministry of Defence and now independent expert on the unexplained has said that it is "interesting" that people have seen UFOs in built-up areas, not just desolate areas. However he said that the most common explanations for UFOs were "aircraft lights, bright stars and planets".

Doctor David Clarke, an expert in UFO history said that conspiracy theories about aliens were "hard to disprove".

Director of Investigations at The British UFO Research Association, (BUFORA) Gloria Dixon, said: "It is crucial that we explore the way in which perceptions and beliefs influence how people observe things and to understand the inaccuracy of most observations of lights and objects that people perceive to be UFOs."

BUFORA has reported that an alleged secret meeting took place at the United Nations (UN) to discuss imminent alien disclosure in February. For now though, there is no solid evidence to prove alien life exists, but maybe the truth is out there.

Why You Must Not Witch Hunt!

The following is part of the argument about the applications of Amnesty for Whistleblowers that they might have greater freedom and safety to come forward to the public about the history of the Secrecy & Contact and everything it entailed...

There is a huge difference between us today and the Nazi situation.

The Nazi’s didn’t have nukes, biological weapons which can melt a human from the inside in 24 – 48 hours, chemical weapons that make the stuff the Nazi’s concocted look tame, Scalar Weaponry, and the list goes on.

Also the ptb & lower fish on the ladder in this are NOT JUST MILITARY…how do you tell in an adequate amount of time just who is who before someone hits the panic button and by by Earth?

Retribution is not worth that.

I happen to have kids on this planet and if the populace gets that stupid I might as well start kissing them good-by today! Or maybe see if I can hitch a ride out of this nut house with ET.

We are better than that.…there must be a graceful way for the ptb to bow out…there must be something in it for them if you want them out of there…if we had been having this discussion 50 – 55 years ago I might be far more inclined to agree with you but we aren’t.

You people allowed it to get to this extent through your own divisiveness so now everyone is going to have to buck up and compromise even if you do not like it.

I’m not saying the individuals responsible for rotten behavior should get off scott free…a removal from their positions of power & influence perhaps to a position of less dangerous potential sounds pretty good at this point. Just get them out of there for starters…but to do that you must do so honorably and stick to what you agree or it won’t happen and this conversation might as well not be occurring at all because we’re all a walking liability to them…that means everyone who does not have one of those billion+ dollar hidey holes they have.

You must remember this structure is MASSIVE and it EXTENDS EVERYWHERE IT MATTERS for them to accomplish being where they are to day in the condition they are today. Most of them hardly know who the others are so how do you figure you will?

This is not the same as the mafia who all know each other and will readily rat each other out when thrown a bone. These people have a way of tracking each other and it would not take a rocket scientist to figure out that you couldn’t get to the ones that mattered because they would see you coming just by who wasn’t where they belonged at any given moment.

This structure has a 60 year head start on you technologically. If you go head (witch) hunting you will get all of us crispy fried.

Look, you are confronted by a guy with a gun to your face on the street…you don’t have a gun and you have no where and no means to run, so how do you convince him to turn and walk away? It’s not by threatening him with capitol punishment under the law. He’ll shoot you if you do that.

The original vision for OpEdNews was to create an online site that covered the wide range of topics daily newspapers and weekly newsmagazines cover. Lately, we've had some of our members comment on our publishing articles on UFOs and extraterrestrials, suggesting they diminish our credibility. OTOH, some of the articles have brought thousands of readers to the site. What do you think? Please leave your comments on this. UFO stories are too woowoo and decrease our credibility. We should not publish them.

UFO stories are too woowoo and decrease our credibility, but they’re interesting and bring in readers who will read our political articles. We should put them on an inside page, without linking to them from the front page.

UFO stories are an interesting addition to the mix and fit with the OEN philosophy of being open to the widest range of ideas. Don’t change anything.

Since part of the mission of OEN is to reach new people, not just "members of the progressive choir," including non-political articles that draw new readers is a good thing,.

OEN should just focus on politics and progressive issues

Other.

Doing OpEdNews and Surviving.?
Last year, because I stopped running the conferences I ran for 15 years, so I could devote full time and attention to OpEdNews (usually 12-15 hours a day, seven days a week) my income dropped to the lowest it's been in decades. Decades! I took about $4000 in pay from OEN last year and this year, I really need to take at least $1500 to $2000 a month in pay from OEN. With a home, three kids (two in college and one heading back) and two dogs, believe me, I just barely get by every month. That pay does not include the costs for the website's private dedicated server and part time webmaster. Anyone who knows what I pay for them agrees the prices are very, very reasonable (some have offered to help with lower rates and what we're currently paying is lower.)

The bottom line is that I am now depending upon contributions to OpEdNews to pay my basic bills, to support my kids and there's not much left over. I have hope and faith that things will get better-- that we'll eventually land some foundation grants, that, as we grow, our contributions will rise. But for now, OEN and I are dependent upon you, our members to fund what we're doing. There are days when I seriously consider cutting way back and going for a salaried job. I don't want to do it. I love what I do here but I have to pay the bills. That means I need to raise money through contributions. That's where you come in. Last year, with an average of about 11,500 subscribers, we received about 1200 contributions. About 15-20% of them were from people who contributed monthly or at least more than once. Now, we have about 13,750 daily subscribers. It helps. We need to see 4-5 contributions averaging $38 each, every day to stay even. It's not a lot. It adds up to about 1680 contributions. I expect, by the end of the year, we'll at between 16,000 and 18,000 subscribers. So, the target, will represent about the same percentage of supporters as last year.

I know the economy is tough. I know you're going to want to support your candidates with contributions. But I also hope you'll see that support for what we do is a worthwhile investment, because if you don't think that, we're in trouble. The best thing you can do is to sign up for a monthly, authomatic contribution- - whether it's $5 or $100 or $700. We'll take all any or all of the above. If you're satisfied with Lou Dobbs, Chris Matthews, Wolf Blitzer and Joe Scarborough- -- forget about OpEdNews. But we're doing what we can to cover the news, to do the analysis and to provide the forum that you don't get ANYWHERE else. So please, make a contribution today, and, if you can, set up a monthly contribution. Click here to do it today.

Support OpEdNews by buying books.
One way you can support OEN is to purchase books and CDs I buy at auction for resale. I sell through my futurehealthinc Storefront on Amazon.com. Some of the books are contemporary. Some are 100 or more years old. Check out the list. It ranges from science to history, politics, philosophy, arts, etc.
