Regarding our Ufology Library
As anyone who has visited our main facility knows, Alien Abductions, Incorporated allocates a significant portion of our available financial and human resources to to the maintenance and enhancement of our Ufology and Para-abductology library.
Some of our clients are surprised by this: to an individual seeking only a simple Abduction Experience™ scenario implantation, the time and money that we spend acquiring, archiving, and analyzing documents such as this 1952 USAF/Intelligence document on the “Flying Saucers Problem” or this 1949 OSI memo on UFO observation distribution patterns may seem ill spent.
In fact, this investment is what allows AAI to hold its leadership position in the field. It ensures that our scenario designers have all the information required to build a consistent, convincing scenario at their fingertips; it keeps our research staff in constant communication with independent researchers and government officials, keeping us abreast of every development as it occurs; and it allows us to actively contribute to the collaborative environment that has long characterized work in para-abductology and related disciplines.
Consider this: month after month “UFO” appears at the top of the list of the most frequently searched terms on the CIA’s Freedom of Information Act Web page. Putting aside the fact that the Central Intelligence Agency is not most appropriate starting point for this sort of research, it is clear there is very significant public interest in this area, and we consider it critical that the public have access to both the primary source information and informed, insightful analysis. Hence our focus on developing our library.
While you will hear more on this topic in coming months from sources better informed than I, also note that we will soon be taking full advantage of the tools of the Internet age: as evidenced by the “hyperlinks” that have been added above, Alien Abductions, Incorporated will be digitizing much of our library in order to provide the public with simple, Internet-based access to this essential body of documents.
I look forward to the perspectives and insights that are sure to follow as we join together to push the work forward.

Director of Para-abductological Research
In coming months I will be writing occasional entries for this Web log covering our research, as well as analysis of relevant or interesting current news items as they occur. I hope that you will find them both interesting and useful as a basis for your own work.
