An unusual national hunt is on
for scientists and lab technicians where volunteers may be called upon to
examine some rather extra-terrestrial samples, according to Mutual UFO Network (MUFON) Executive
Director Jan C. Harzan.
As the largest UFO study group
with field investigators in all 50 states and a growing legion of volunteers
internationally, Harzan, reached at his Newport Beach, CA, headquarters office
today, said the request for more science-based laboratory help is in response
to the organization's growth and the increasing numbers of UFO reports MUFON is receiving.
"We need more scientists
on call," Harzan said, "and we're now appealing nationally to get
ahead of the cases we expect to receive that requires this kind of serious
study."
Board Member Vicki Leblanc
said she feels the group could be "severely hindered" if they
encounter cases and then don't have the necessary scientific help in the
laboratory.
"Over the last couple of
years MUFON has tried to alleviate this situation and enhance the scientific
approach by formation of the Science Review Board and other measures, but this
is just a start," she said. "We have wonderful experts who give
freely of their time, but we need more as dictated by the volume and variety of
the work that we have."
Leblanc said MUFON needed more
help from all scientific fields.
"I would specifically
like to add more experts in the fields of metallurgy, DNA, astrophysics,
propulsion and extraterrestrial biology."
Science Review Board Director
Robert Powell agreed.
"Our goal is to bring
more and more scientific methodologies to the study of the UFO
phenomenon," Powell said.
The advertisement, which first
appeared in the February MUFON UFO Journal, reads: "If you are
a materials scientist or lab technician you may be able to help us solve the
UFO mystery. We need experts from every field to conduct scientific testing on
a large variety of artifacts which from time to time are provided to MUFON for
testing. Volunteer NOW to be on the front line of UFO research."
