MUFON To Receive Major Funding From Billionaire Backer
By
Eddie Middleton

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
- 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.
