  On the basis of more than 50 years of consistent reports of close-range, daylight observations by expert witnesses, of objects having radical appearance and performance, it is reasonable to conclude that we are faced with a phenomenon for which there is no conventional explanation. It is the primary purpose of the Fund for UFO Research, Inc., to support all reasonable and scientific efforts to learn the nature of this phenomenon.

• Cattle Mutilation Investigator -- Fern Belzil, Cattle Rancher and Breeder, St. Paul, Alberta, Canada
  "My Mom, Dad and I started in purebred registered Hereford cattle ranching in the early nineteen fifties. A few years later, my wife Doris, and our two boys Doug and Ron, bought the ranch from my parents."
  
  "We were fortunate enough, through very thorough strict pedigree and quality control, to be able to succeed, winning championships at major bull sales in Calgary, Edmonton, Toronto, Regina Canada; San Francisco and North Battleford, USA to name a few. I also did some Judging in major shows like Montreal & Quebec City Class A & B fairs, many 4H shows."
  
  "Knowing the cattle business I believe has been a very big plus for me and hopefully gives me the respect of the breeders. I do these investigations with integrity and honesty. We are making new findings that are indeed worth looking at. I will be releasing new developments as they occur."


• United States Psychotronics Association (USPA) -- Bob Beautlich, USPA Secretary
  The U.S. Psychotronics Association covers a broad spectrum of interests. The Association defines psychotronics as the science of mind-body-environment relationships, an interdisciplinary science concerned with the interactions of matter, energy, and consciousness. USPA has evolved from a meeting in Indianapolis, Indiana, in 1975, organized by the late J. G. Gallimore. A talented psychic and scientific researcher himself, Jerry sought to understand the rules governing the energy fields and currents he could see and feel around people, objects and machines, and to develop ways of constructively applying those rules. Our basic premise is that ESP is a natural occurrence. We seek to understand how it occurs, and to use that understanding for the benefit of mankind. USPA is not an experiential group; our orientation is towards the technical and scientific aspects of psychotronics and its practical applications, merging the esoteric/spiritual and scientific worlds. Quantum mechanics has provided a "scientific" basis which allows the existence of psychic phenomena and unconventional energy effects. Members are on the leading edge of the new paradigms in science theory and instrumentation.
