Press Release Proves MUFON and Feds Connected

Las Vegas, NV, U.S. (AHN) - The Federal Aviation Administration has designated the Bigelow Aerospace Advanced Space Studies.(BAASS) as one of the reporting centers for UFO sightings and unexplained phenomena.

In its Dec. 10 update to air traffic control organizations, the FAA said pilots and air traffic controllers should refer the said reports to the Las Vegas-based company that explores extremely advance aerospace technology. The BAASS can be reached at 1-877-979-7444 or reporting@baass.org.

Prior to BAASS, the National Institute for Discovery Sciences (NIDS) was the contact center for UFO concerns in the U.S. However, NIDS is now defunct.

The BAASS makes inflatable low-Earth orbiting modules, It is currently hiring astrophysics, biochemists, microbiologists, nanotechnolgists, physicists, and propulsion and stealth technology experts.

MUFON Receives Major Funding / Logistics From Billionaire Entrepeneur

Billionaire real estate investor and entrepeneur Robert Bigelow of Las Vegas, Nevada is now betting his bucks on MUFON to find valuable new knowledge about alien propulsion systems.

Bigelow who has long been known to give millions of dollars to fund serious UFO research has just concluded a deal with MUFON whereby he will supply this organization with whatever it needs to be able to go out and bring back the hard evidence, not only to document the reality of UFOs interacting with us but most importantly to gather the kind of information that will truly advance scientific understanding of this phenomenon.

This may well prove to be a historical occasion for MUFON and for the science of Ufology in general. MUFON since its inception has been a volunteer effort on the part of civilians who devote whatever spare time and energies they can afford in order to fulfill MUFON's stated mission of scientifically investigating the UFO phenomenon for the benefit of humanity.

Now for the first time MUFON's members are going to be paid to do their work. 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.

These are the rarer cases where either physical traces are left or physiological effects are caused in the witness. Bigelow has hired 50 top-flight scientists to assist MUFON in this endeavor who will function as consultants and do expensive lab analysis of alien materials gathered at the location of a UFO event.

Bigelow, who never does anything on a small scale, a few years ago founded BAASS (Bigelow Aerospace Advanced Space Studies) with the incredibly ambitious goal of putting a commercial hotel up in orbit around the earth. He thinks that even one category 2 or 3 case if properly investigated can yield significant scientific paydirt.

Whatever high-tech equipment needed by the investigators on the scene will be drop-shipped to them overnight by BAASS. These high-profile cases will be investigated using the strictest methods of scientific protocol.

Bigelow, who has been known to keep his findings on the UFO subject secret, has agreed per his contract with MUFON to hold nothing back from this organization that is revealed in the BAASS lab analysis of materials supplied by MUFON.

This project, which just launched on March 1st, is code named SIP (for Star Impact Project). It is a pilot experiment and will be reviewed on June 30th to see if it has proven successful enough to warrant funding for the rest of the year.

Understandably there is a lot of excitement at MUFON Headquarters and among its membership. Now with this major infusion of funds from Bigelow, it will be better able than ever to carry out its stated mission. And Bigelow possibly will get what he wants to forward his goal.

How this will all work out is hard to guess. This is something that has never been tried before. They are moving into unchartered territory here.

In any case, Bigelow's investing so heavily in MUFON's ability to make SIP a successful search and find operation for greater knowledge about alien technology is some extremely good PR for MUFON whose credibility can be expected to take a significant leap forward in the eyes of the general public.

NOTE: well, it seems that there is now a proven connection between MUFON and the federal government...and it's MUFON's benefactor Robert Bigelow and his aerospace company BAASS. I had reported that some witnesses who reported to MUFON were getting blown off. As well, other witnesses were receiving visits from non-MUFON investigators. This press release confirms that there is a connection and that privacy can no longer be assured...Lon
