>ORTK's Rob Bailey who attended the MUFON conference says that he saw ORTK's Mary Kerfoot handling the ORTK table there.
>Mary working with others has put together many tables at many conferences for ORTK. Way to go Mary.
>I went to see the movie Contact the other day and was wondering if the director had the authorization to use film of Clintion the way he did. Its seems he did not as discribed latter in the Bulletin.
>Folks should see this movie even though its typical Sagan and SETI propaganda. I also thought it very interesting that Sagan proposes a way to get around the speed of light problem in contacts with ETs. This after he has argued so that it was impossible for ET to get here because the distances are so great. Its obvious by reading between the lines that Sagan was well informed on UFO/ET's yet chose to propagandize and spoon feed the public ET related information.
