   UFO WITNESS DECLARATION   
      
   FACT: From 1982 to 1985, large triangular and boomerang-shaped UFOs were   
   reported over the Hudson Valley by over 7,000 credible witnesses, including   
   police and officials at the Indian Point Nuclear Power Plant.   
      
   FACT: In 1989 and 1990, large triangular and rectangular unidentified flying   
   objects, one the size of an aircraft carrier, were reported over Belgium by   
   over   
   2,000 witnesses, including police and military personnel.   
      
   FACT: In 1997, multiple sightings of a mile long boomerang-shaped UFO were   
   reported over the state of Arizona by over 10,000 witnesses, including   
   police,   
   military personnel and Republican Governor Fife Symington.   
      
   We make no claims as to the nature or origin of these UFOs. However, those   
   who have taken the time and effort to conduct serious, in-depth   
   investigations   
   into these reports know that these sightings are of real, physical crafts   
   and are   
   indisputable FACTS. Thousands of such sightings of physical crafts of   
   unknown   
   origin have been reported throughout the world for decades by credible   
   witnesses, yet most who report such sightings are treated with ridicule,   
   disbelief,   
   scorn and even threats.   
      
   In light of the facts, we who have witnessed such unexplained crafts no   
   longer accept this cynical mindset as realistic or credible.   
      
   Those of us who are witnesses to the UFO phenomenon know they exist for a   
   fact. This is not an issue of speculation for such witnesses. However, we do   
   not   
   insist that non-witnesses must believe such objects exist, only that   
   witnesses be   
   treated with respect and that we deserve the same fairness and courtesy   
   afforded to any individual or group who honestly expresses their point of   
   view   
   without fear of ridicule, punishment or persecution.   
      
   Recent polls clearly demonstrate that more than 50% of Americans believe   
   that   
   UFOs are a real phenomenon that deserves legitimate recognition and serious   
   study by open-minded, qualified scientists, rather than being summarily   
   dismissed as misperceptions, fantasies, hoaxes or hallucinations by cynical,   
   unqualified debunkers. Over 36 million Americans have seen a UFO.   
      
   To put this statistic in political terms, these witnesses are also voters.   
      
   Therefore, we urge all who agree with the spirit of this declaration to send   
   copies   
   of this letter to their representatives, public officials, the media, the   
   police, the   
   military, airline officials, NASA and all candidates running for any public   
   office to   
   assure them that our votes will go only to those who acknowledge the UFO   
   phenomenon as real and deserving of serious scientific investigation and who   
   publicly endorse fairness and respect toward any witness who reports a UFO.
