Don, et al

The name derives from MUFON's _STAR_ Team or Strike Team Area
Research.

This is definitely new territory and no one knows how it will
pan out.

This project only addresses what MUFON is calling type 2 and 3
cases. These types are derived from the Vallee Classification
system.

Type 2 cases are considered to be AN2, FB2, MA2 and CE1
Type 3 cases are AN3-AN5, FB3-FB5, MA3-MA5 and CE2-CE5

If a case outside the US is deemed significant enough then MUFON
would indeed dispatch a team to investigate but the majority
will be within the US.

One of the main advantages to MUFON of this project is that we
will have access to sophisticated equipment and laboratories
manned by 50 scientists in all fields of study. An investigator
will be able to request equipment and have drop-shipped over
night to their location.

I have already submitted my application as a Dispatch Operator
and Investigator. Ken Cherry asked me if I would like to be the
State coordinator for Texas but I declined.

Only time will tell if this is a deal or dud.
