SUBJECT: EVEN MORE ON CSETI FILE: UFO3245 CSETI The Center for the Study of Extraterretial Intelligence Dedicated to the furtherance of our understanding of Extraterrestial Intelligence Steven M. Greer, M.D., Director An international nonprofit scientific research and education organization P.O. Box 15401 Asheville, NC 28813 Description and Purpose: The Center for the Study of Extraterrestial Intelligence (CSETI) is an international nonprofit scientific research and education organization dedicated to the understanding of Extraterrestial Intelligence (ETI) and Extraterrestail Civilizations (ETC). CSETI is especially interested in the ETI-Human relationship and in the peaceful furtherance of this relationship. A thorough review of existing data and documents concerning 'UFOs' indicates that the earth has been visited by ETI and Extraterrestial Spacecraft (ETS) for decades, if not centuries, and that this contact has intensified over the past 45 years. The existence and authentication of several top-secret documents confirming the retrieval of crashed ETS and their occupants, the numerous photographs and films showing ETS, the reports of thousands of credible civilian and military observers, and the presence of associated landing traces all provide compelling evidence for the ongoing contact between ETI and humans. In addition to the investigation and analysis of credible ETI/ETS reports, CSETI is committed to the thoughtful long term development of bilateral ETI-Human communication and exchange, and open public education on the subject. We regard this endeavor as the most important scientific and educational project of the next thousand years, and invite you to join us. CSETI is supported through the voluntary efforts and contributions of its friends around the world, and we welcome your involvement right now! The CSETI Principles: * There is strong evidence for the existence of Extraterrestial Intelligence, Civilizations, and Spacecraft. * ETI/ETS have been and are currently visiting Earth. * Careful bilateral communication between ETI and Humans is of continuing importance and will probably increase in the future. * CSETI approaches the study of ETI with cooperative, peaceful and non-harmful intentions and procedures. * The establishment of a lasting world peace is essential to the full development of the ETI-Human relationship. * Both Humans and ETI, as conscious, intelligent beings, are essentially more alike than dissimiliar; CSETI is dedicated to the study of both our shared and unique characteristics. * CSETI operates on the premise that ETI motives and ultimate intentions are net peaceful and non-hostile. * It appears probable that more than one Extraterrestial Civilization is responsible for the ETI/ETS contact so far observed, and that it is likely that this represents a cooperative effort. * CSETI will attempt to cultivate bilateral ETI-Human contact and exchange which will serve peaceful and cooperative goals; it is NOT a goal of CSETI to acquire those advanced technologies which may have a potentially military or harmful application if disclosed prematurely. MAJOR PROGRAMS OF CSETI: The CE-5 Initiative is a major projrct whose goal is the further development of bilateral and human-initiated ETI contact. This project involves scientists and investigators, and is a long-term project of CSETI. Project ETI-Inform is a major public education program which utilizes the media, public lectures and symposia and printed materials to inform the public and government, officials throughout the world. The goal of this program is to provide quality programming on ETI to all sectors of the public. Rapid Mobilization Investigative Teams (RMIT) are comprised of qualifoed scientists and investigators who can respond swiftly to an area of ongoing ETI/ETS contact. Cases of high scientific and investigative merit and credibility will be considered for this special investigative approach, particularly when they also have the potential for CE-5 Initiative involvement. The development and funding of RMIT is a major goal of CSETI. CSETI Conferences and Workshops are designed to facilitate in-depth analysis and 'think tank' formulations and planning on all aspects of ETI studies. Specific topics include, but are not limited to, the following: Human initiated ETI contact, the origins and motives of current ETI visitors, ETI biology, anatomy, physiology, and medical implications; peaceful applications of ETI technology and the 'new physics'; philosophical and spiritual implications of ETI contact; possible risks and benefits to ETI arising from human contact; the effect of ETI contact on the world's societies and governments; shared and unique characteristics of ETI and humans; world peace and unity as a prerequisite for extensive ETI contact and exchange; diplomatic, governmental and security issues surrounding ETI-Human contact. Membership is open to anyone who supports the principles and goals of CSETI.
