Read this next sentence slowly and carefullly-
Post #5: Although our team spent over a decade (our time) on Serpo and nearby planets, they did not have a laptop computer to enter all data.

Why mention laptops? Everyone knows they weren't available then. This statement is totally out of place. Unless they mean that the Serponauts should have invented laptops by then.

I am how you say....freaked out- Bigfoot(mythbusters commercial)

As far as aliens not considering us to be equals -

They wouldn't, and couldn't consider us in the same way that we consider animals. Animals do not write novels, musical compositions, or the theory of relativity. Animals don't drive around in cars, or fly around in airplanes that their own kind manufactured. Anyone in the universe would consider us "intelligent life". Exactly how intelligent is certainly debatable, but we are not looked at as animals. We couldn't possibly be.

GOOD JOB!! This is one part of why I thought was a huge problem with the term 'laptop'. Laptop was not invented in the 1960s, only mainframe computers were existing in that era.
Talk about sloppy writing....on 'anon'..or Victor...or whomever.
Laptops didn't come into the scene, I believe the very early 1990s.
And notice that most military/intelligence personnel probably would'nt say that word. I think 'computer' would've made more sense, crudely speaking.

A kid in the 1950s who sees a UFO would say "I saw a flying saucer!"
A kid in the 2000s would say "I think I saw a UFO! It looks like one of those triangular craft!"
Funny how language and slang changes almost each decade in an evolutionary shift.

Again..good job!

I got the impression that Anon was just saying this to remind people that they had to keep data differently back then (pen and paper). Of course there were no laptops back then. I don't see what the confusion is here.

If this "story" is true how do we ignore the fact that the SERPO website is still running. If they were really publishing this type of Nth level top secret information about some Alien exchange program they would have been shut down before you could refresh the page...Period.

From Director FBI 5/11/76

To SAC, Newark



Subject: Philip Klass



Classified: SECRET



Quotation in part as follows:



"In 1958, Klass was the subject of an investigation in connection with the unauthorized disclosure of classified information in an 'Aviation Week' magazine article written by Klass. Since the classified information contained in the article could not be declassified for the purposes of prosecution, no action was taken in this matter."



Final Remarks: "In view of Klass' intemperate criticism and other often irrational statements he made to support them, it was recommended that the Bureau be most circumspect in any future contacts with him."



What does this tell us?



Authorities such as the FBI will not pursue "leak" investigations if such prosecution or attention verifies the accuracy of classified "leak" information. AFOSI regulation also reflects the same caution.




Klass (Patriotic Flag Waver on the UFO Secrecy Subject) was involved in the leak of classified information. Hoover to CIA
Memo from the files dated 11-9-64 explains that AFOSI decided not to pursue for the same reasons as above. The 1958 investigation files are not in the material released and are on appeal.

3) Lively discussions brings out some very interesting questions. Some of which I cannot find answers to. Although our team spent over a decade (our time) on Serpo and nearby planets, they did not have a laptop computer to enter all data. They had two recorders, who were responsible for writing down the data. Our team acknowledged that a lot of data was lost or not documented.

He fully acknowledges the fact that back then, the only means of recording information was to write it down.

Okay, even so if this was the case that they had two recorders. . .does that mean in reference to the TWO other crew-members or the two Ebens as voluntary recorders? Even though, each person was expected to write their own journal to record their observations/experiences....it's the other TWO that records only the scientific/technical aspects of their mission...am I to understand that correctly?
