                           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.
