SETI funding criticisms

During

1991

, Representative Ronald Machtley of Rhode Island proposes elimination of SETI funding from NASA’s budget, asking “If, in fact, there is a superintelligent form of life out there, might it be easier just to listen and let them call us?”. Silvio Conte of Massachusetts supported that motion, stating that to find evidence of these “rascally creatures”, “we only need 75 cents to buy a tabloid at the local supermarket”.

Web Resources

There is a rapid turnover of UFO material on the Internet. Many links to material on UFO websites quickly become out of date. Therefore, instead of giving many links to specific webpages I have instead focused on providing tables of references to discussion of UFO incidents, personalities and other matters in various books. Those tables of references to discussion in books can be sorted by author, length and date. I hope these tools are useful.
