                             INTRODUCTION

       Since prehistory, man has been observing unusal happenings

       in the sky.  Those occurences have been given various names

       to suit the trends of the times.  However, in almost every

       instance, the identifying nomenclatures used were either

       inaccurate or misleading for the various forms of reported

       experiences.

       Historically, we have used a variety of names such as angels,

       flying shields, mystery airships, phantom planes, ghost

       rockets, flying saucers and unidentified flying objects to

       describe aerial phenomena.  But those terms are both

       restrictive and lacking in accuracy.  The phenomena that we

       study ranges from micro specks in the sky to macro masses

       sometimes comparable to unnatural structures.

       Observations by witnesses of truly enigmatic occurences in

       the sky fall into two broad categories: (1) Natural aerial

       phenomena and/or  (2) Unknown aerial phenomena (having an

       apparent intelligent source).  Both categories deserve

       serious disciplined study.  It is essential that we differen-

       tiate between the two categories and classify, when possible.

       Because of this crucial need, we do not go beyond the point

       of referring to anomalous aerial phenomena by other names

       such as spaceships, flying saucers and UFOs.  To do so would

       be equivalent to stating that we study spaceships, flying

       saucers and unidentified flying objects; none of which would

       be accurate.  We use such terms only as historical and

       reported references; not as verified identifiable nomen-

       clatures.

       We oppose the use of misleading names which help to give

       the press, public and scientific community a totally false

       impression of actual aerial phenomena.  In order to overcome

       the stigma attached to this subject, we need the help and

       support of the most experienced and knowledgeable people

       available.

       Investigators, researchers and serious students of aerial

       phenomena are encouraged to share their works and findings

       with us.  We endeavor to make as much factual information

       available as possible to both our associates and to the

       public at large.  Should you wish to participate in our

       activities or have a work published and distributed,

       please contact us for details.
