      UFO DISCLOSURE: ARE "DUMBED-DOWN" APPROACHES NEEDED FOR FUTURE WHITE
      HOUSE UFO PETITIONS?! / WILL ADDRESSING THE LOWEST COMMON DENOMINATOR --
      POLITICIANS WHO ARE TERRITORIAL WHEN KEEPING THEIR OWN SECRETS -- REALLY
      WORK BETTER?! –

      Petitions to the White House asking for the release of more information
      about unidentified flying objects (UFOs) have stirred up controversy,
      curiosity and hope for improved public understanding about the UFO
      phenomena.

      Some observers seem to think the petitions are dumb, especially if they
      associate UFOs with some kinds of intelligent beings from elsewhere.

      Another concern is that asking for the truth from politicians is often
      not successful, no matter what the topic may be.

      Additionally, the high classification and secrecy about the subject
      could be related to legitimate national security and public safety
      issues. In that case, the situation could be quite sensitive and
      complex.

      Yet, there may be a view that dumbed-down tactics and strategies are
      needed to make progress on learning more about what is going on behind
      the scenes with UFOs.

      But first, some background about the online petitions: The
      newly-launched White House petition program called "We the People"
      allows citizens to create online petitions on the White House website
      and gather signatures. The petitions cover a broad range of topics.

      Previously, if 5,000 signatures were gathered in a certain length of
      time, the White House would give a formal, official response. Now,
      25,000 signatures are required within a narrow time frame.

      People and groups curious about UFOs launched such petitions to try to
      get a response from government officials, or at least get the topic on
      the radar of the pubic, the news media, elected officials, the defense
      and intelligence communities, and the scientific community.

      SOMETHING FLYING AROUND

      The Paradigm Research Group created one petition, gathered the 5,000
      signatures and received a response from the White House that seemed
      inadequate and inaccurate. Now, the same group, headed by Stephen
      Bassett, is following up with a second petition approaching the subject
      from a different angle.

      A third petition trying to get an intelligent response from the White
      House was launched by historian and researcher Richard Dolan and
      TV/movie writer and producer Bryce Zabel. They are also taking a certain
      approach in how they worded their petition. For more information, go to
      Dolan and Zabel's Web site AfterDisclosure.com.

      Dolan and Zabel recently co-authored the book "A.D. After Disclosure" on
      UFO-related topics. Zabel has been involved in other media projects
      related to this subject.

      One main motivation for these petitions and other efforts seems to be
      the concern that more understanding about UFOs should be available to,
      and acquired by the public. Greater understanding would include insight
      about what various UFOs might be and what impact they have on us.

      Unusual objects have been seen and reported over the last few decades,
      as well as in centuries past. Some objects seem to be hard-shelled craft
      of some kind. They are sometimes disc-shaped, V-shaped or cigar-shaped.
      The can hover silently, cruise slowly or zip away in the blink of an
      eye. They have been seen at high and low altitudes as well as on the
      ground.

      Other odd things in the sky appear more like lights or energy of some
      kind, not necessarily a hard-shelled craft.

      Military personnel and pilots, peace officers and thousands of reliable
      witnesses have seen these kinds of phenomena. High-ranking U.S. and
      international military and defense officials have, over the decades,
      stated that these objects are real.

      There have been indications that international governments and
      militaries have long investigated these objects which intrude on
      nations' airspace and sometimes seem to pose a risk to air-traffic
      safety, among other concerns.

      Based on documents and other information-gathering, many qualified
      researchers have concluded that much has been learned about UFOs and the
      subject is generally handled as a top-secret situation.

      Research, counterintelligence measures, scientific projects and other
      activities since the World War II era may have discovered significant
      amounts of information and insight about UFOs, some researchers
      indicate.

      As a result, many people, including those authoring the White House
      petitions on the subject, would like to get more information.

      AN INTELLIGENT PUBLIC

      Challenges facing the petition coordinators include those related to the
      White House petition process.

      The White House website has reportedly experienced glitches or
      difficulties for petition-signers. Getting 25,000 signatures in a short
      time frame may prove tough to accomplish.

      Other difficulties include the complicated and mysterious nature of the
      UFO phenomena itself and the security surrounding related defense and
      intelligence activities on UFOs.

      Ridicule of people interested in the subject, or even those who have
      witnessed such objects, has long discouraged the conversation. And
      ridicule is still a factor in play by some news commentators, a few
      scientific writers and even UFO researchers themselves.

      And yet another element to consider is that the UFO topic may not simply
      about one type of visitors from another planet. It could be much more
      complex and involve many factors that could be truly mind-boggling.

      Because of this, it has been theorized that information available to the
      public about the situation is probably best handled in coordinated,
      careful and safe ways.

      In addition, it may be better if people become informed on this topic by
      learning about it themselves. This "grassroots-up" awareness may be
      better than "top-down" information from U.S. government officials.

      Will the petitions make progress in raising awareness about the UFO
      phenomena? Undoubtedly they will to one degree or another. Will the
      25,000 signatures be attained? It's possible but could be a challenge.
      Will the White House team come up with a better reply than their
      response to the first petition? We can always hope so.

      It may be interesting to see how it all plays out.

      But one thing seems probable, the American people and many people
      internationally may not want dumbed-down approaches or answers about
      UFOs or the other important more-conventional issues of the day.

      And, interestingly, the UFO situation may have direct connections with
      the many other current developments and challenges the human race faces
      on Earth today.
