ON THE MOVE While we all realize that the world of BBSing is a fun hobby, ParaNet takes a fun hobby and makes it more exciting! ParaNet Information Service is the world's largest investigative news organizations to ever come to your home. Now you can get up-to-the-minute news and information on one of the most mysterious phenomena and paranormal events in human history -- UFOs. For over forty years Unidentified Flying Objects have intrigued some of the finest minds in the world. Michael Corbin, ParaNet's Owner and Director, states, "People have always wondered about the implications that UFOs pose not only to mankind, but to science and technology. This phenomenon is one of the most misunderstood that faces us." Over the years the governments of the world have collected data, artifacts, and have conducted scientific research, but the information disappears into a shroud of secrecy held by government officials. Officially, the U.S. Air Force got out of the UFO business in 1969 with the death of Project Blue Book, a military-headed UFO investigation group spanning many years of the present-day mystery. Although the government continues to contend that UFOs do not exist, recent efforts by Citizens Against UFO Secrecy, a group of concerned citizens headed by Larry Fawcett of Conneticut, have uncovered previously classified documents through the Freedom of Information Act dating after 1969's Blue Book death that clearly displays that the government continues to study UFOs. All the while, the nation is kept in the dark about the true aspects of this mystery by virtue of a silent policy held by the nation's media. "Many people would be surprised to know how much is actually going on today. But, the media fails to report on it," says Corbin. Enter ParaNet. Since its inception over three years ago, it has developed relationships with the scientific and investigative community and funnels this information to the public via its international electronic computer network. ParaNet also has an investigative branch headed by Robert B. Klinn, an investigator with over 25 years experience and was an associate of Dr. J. Allen Hynek, considered to be a world leader in UFOlogy. Klinn also has been credited with locating and tracking down hard to investigate cases and has received acknowledgment in Len Stringfield's book Situation Red. For over three years, Klinn co-authored a syndicated newspaper column -- The Continuing UFO. This background greatly enhances ParaNet's ability to investigate incoming cases through its international reporting center, which is manned 24-hours per day. Recently, ParaNet expanded its network operations into the world- wide Unix environment and currently publishes an electronic news digest containing its daily echomail traffic. This digest and other information is available to over 61,000 users not to mention Compuserve Information Service which has a user base of over 400,000 world-wide. "It's an electronic revolution," Corbin stated. "Through our international reporting center we can take a report, assign investigators and place a report on the network. Thousands of our subscribers can be in touch and know what is going on virtually instantly." ParaNet has also expanded beyond the electronic environment and has established relationships with UFO organizations such as the Australian UFO Research Society, the Mutual UFO Network (MUFON), and the Center for UFO Studies (CUFOS). ParaNet has so much to offer. Beside having the ability to interact with luminaries such as Phil Imbrogno, author of Night Siege (Hudson Valley UFOs), Dr. Bruce Maccabee, Navy physicist and photographic expert, and thousands of interested subscribers, ParaNet has a vast electronic library containing news clippings, articles submitted by subscribers, and one of the most comprehensive research libraries found anywhere on matters of science, religion and other topics. Recently, ParaNet introduced a bi-monthly publication called Oddysey.
