I generally avoid just posting links to other news sites but this seem worthy:
Bigelow Backs UFO Research (Again)
MUFON's agreement with Bigelow is to train and qualify a special rapid response team of Field Investigators who can be deployed within 24 hours to the scene of a major UFO event, the kind designated as Category 2 or 3 in the classification system devised by legendary UFO researcher Jacques Vallee.
It's worth noting that part of the contract stipulates that lab analysis results will not be held privately by Bigelow - one of the previous criticisms of the research done by NIDS was that complete details of the investigations were not released publicly. However, also worth noting is that this is a 'pilot', which will be reviewed on June 30th. That short a timeframe has got to put some serious pressure on MUFON investigators to come up with something worthwhile...although when it comes to UFOs, it's pretty much out of their hands.
It seems to me that MUFON would be well advised if they just funneled some of this $ to Ted Phillips. Open publishing of results should satisfy Ted's concerns, no?
