This Ufo law as it was called by many was passed just
before the United States landed a man on the moon. Prior to that there
had already been many reported
abductions and sightings throughout the U.S.. Many people
believe that this law
(enacted in a time when the government claimed there
was no such thing as UFO's)
was a federal attempt to scare those who would report
such things into silence.
There are many copies of this law floating around
the internet today. Enough
for me to believe that some of those pompous politicians
owe the people an explanation.
EXTRA-TERRESTRIAL EXPOSURE LAW
(Already Passed by Congress)
On October 5, 1982, Dr. Brain T. Clifford of
the Pentagon announced at a press
conference ("The Star", New York, Oct. 5,
1982) that contact between U.S. citizens
and extraterrestrial or their vehicles is
strictly illegal. According to a law already on the
books (Title 14, Section 1211 of the Code
of Federal Regulations, adopted on July 16,
1969, before the Apollo moon shots), anyone
guilty of such contact automatically
becomes a wanted criminal to be jailed for
one year and fined $5,000. The NASA
administrator is empowered to determine with
or without a hearing that a person or
object has been "extraterrestrial exposed"
and impose an indeterminate quarantine
under armed guard, which could not be broken
even by court order. There is no limit
placed on the number of individuals who could
thus be arbitrarily quarantined.
The definition of "extraterrestrial exposure"
is left entirely up to NASA administrator,
who is thus endowed with total dictatorial
power to be exercised at his slightest caprice,
which is completely contrary to the Constitution.
According to Dr. Clifford, whose commanding
officers have been assuring the public
for the last 39 years that UFO's are nothing
more than hoaxes and delusions to be
dismissed with a condescending smile: "This
is really no joke, it's a very serious matter."
This legislation was buried in the 1,211th
subsection of the 14th section of a batch of
regulations very few members of government
probably bothered to read in its entirety,
the proverbial needle in the haystack, and
was slipped onto the books without public
debate. Thus from one day to the next we learn
that, without having informed the public,
in its infinite wisdom, the government of
the United States has created a whole new
criminal class: UFO contactees.
The lame excuse offered by NASA as a sugar
coating for this bitter pill is that
extraterrestrial might have a virus that could
wipe out the human race. This is certainly
one of the many possibilities inherent is
such contact, but just as certainly not the only
one , and in itself not a valid reason to
make all contact illegal or to declare contactees
criminals to be jailed and fined immediately.
It appears the primary effect of such a law
would not be to prevent contact, it would be
to silence witnesses. If enforced, the law
would prevent publication of contactee reports
except under cover of anonymity, and unleash
a modern inquisition in the Land of the
Free. However, it is unenforceable, so obviously
absurd and unfair that the public will
refuse to accept it. The citizens of the United
States will greet it with a resounding Bronx
cheer and laugh it out of court, forcing it
to be repealed.
It should be replaced by clearly worded legislation,
not open to interpretation in a
multitude of different ways, humanely relevant
to the contingency of E.T. contact,
debated and passed by Congress openly instead
of slipped through "under the table"
without the public being informed. According
to NASA spokesman Fletcher Reel, the
law as it stands is not immediately applicable,
but in case of need could quickly be
made applicable. What this means is that it
is ambiguously worded, so that it can be
interpreted either one way or the other, as
the government desires.
It is certainly not a coincidence that Dr.
Clifford held his press conference during the
period when the popularity of the film E.T.
was at its peak. As E.T. portrayed a type of
extraterrestrial that was benevolent and lovable,
the inference is that the press
conference was intended to discourage attempts
to communicate or fraternize with
UFO occupants. However, instead of having
the intended effect, it backfired, causing
public furor. There may be some relationship
between this fiasco and the next
semi-officially endorsed attempt to deal with
the subject of extraterrestrial, the TV film
V, which was featured with repeat performances
and maximum publicity by major
networks worldwide. The aliens portrayed in
V are the most horrifying and repulsive
nightmares imaginable, who are defeated thanks
largely to a CIA hit man specializing in
covert operations, the tough guy with the
heart of gold who with the aid of the
handsome hero saves the human race. This is
obvious and transparent propaganda,
designed to do what the government's widespread
use of dis-information, and Dr.
Clifford's press conference about the absurd
lemon of a law already on the books failed
to do: squelch attempts to communicate or
fraternize with UFO occupants
One way to avoid widespread panic at the announcement
of the news that we are under
surveillance by non human intelligent beings
with a technology far more sophisticated
than our own is to point out that this situation
is nothing new, but has literally been going
on for millennia. If the "flying dragons"
mentioned in the I Ching intended to attack and
destroy us, they could easily have carried
out this objective long ago. Along with this
article, the text of the E.T. Law will be
presented. However, there are several points
that I wish to make:
1211.101 Applicability.
The provisions
of this part apply to all NASA manned and unmanned
space missions...
I could dismiss
this whole controversy as a tempest in a teacup if the
above passage
contained the word "only", so as to read: "The provisions
of this part
apply only to all NASA manned and unmanned space
missions..."
However, it does not contain that one little word which would
have made such
a big difference. If the government was suddenly faced
with the accomplished
fact of an undeniable overt E.T. visitation, this
regulation could
therefore, be construed as being applicable to all space
missions, NASA
or non NASA, whether of terrestrial or extra-terrestrial
origin. As it
stands, this law is applicable to UFO contact. The meaning
would have to
be stretched, but the built-in loophole does exist.
1211.102 Definitions.
(b) (2): Touched
directly or been in close proximity to (or been exposed
indirectly to
)...
Even without
involved in a UFO close encounter would become eligible
for indefinite
quarantine under armed guard according to the above. By
including indirect
exposure, the NASA administrator is empowered to
make the definition
mean just about anything he wants it to. An example of
indirect exposure
is given, but an example is not a definition. Unless
indirect exposure
is defined precisely, it can mean almost anything. The
possibility
is not specifically ruled out that other types of indirect exposure
than the example
given might be considered valid grounds to "quarantine"
a citizen or
group of citizens.
In my opinion,
it is vital that we challenge the validity of his law, for if it is
allowed to stand
unchallenged, UFO contactees and researchers may all
meet behind
barbed wire and armed guards somewhere in Alaska. I
strongly urge
everyone who reads the E.T. Law, Title 14, Section 1211 of
the Code of
Federal Regulations (at the end of this article), to clip it out,
and send it
on to your congressman, with a demand penciled in, to repeal
this absurd
and potentially lethal law. We must use reason, and transcend
fear in order
to make this planet a place where all may live in peace and
harmony, as
One.
Text of the E.T. Law
1211.100 Title 14 - Aeronautics and Space
Part 1211 - Extra-terrestrial Exposure
1211.100 - Scope
This part establishes:
(a) NASA policy, responsibility and authority to
guard the Earth
against any harmful contamination or adverse changes in
its environment
resulting from personnel, spacecraft and other property
returning to
the Earth after landing on or coming within the atmospheric
envelope of
a celestial body; and (b) security requirements, restrictions
and safeguards
that are necessary in the interest of national security.
1211.101 - Applicability
The provisions
of this part to all NASA manned and unmanned space
missions which
land or come within the atmospheric envelope of a celestial
body and return
to the Earth.
1211.102 - Definitions
(a) "NASA" and
the "Administrator" mean, respectively the National
Aeronautics
and Space Administration and the administrator of the
National Aeronautics
and Space Administration or his authorized
representative.
(b) "Extraterrestrial
exposed" means the state of condition of any
person, property,
animal or other form of life or matter whatever, who or
which has:
(1) Touched directly
or come within the atmospheric
envelope or
any other celestial body; or
(2) Touched directly
or been in close proximity to (or
been exposed
indirectly to ) any person, property,
animal or other
form of life or matter who or which has
been extra-terrestrially
exposed by virtue of paragraph
(b)(1) of this section.
For example,
if person or thing "A" touches the surface
of the Moon,
and on "A's" return to Earth, "B" touches
"A" and, subsequently,
"C" touches "B", all of these -
"A" through
"C" inclusive - would be
extra-terrestrially
exposed ("A" and "B" directly; "C"
indirectly).
(c) "Quarantine"
means the detention, examination and decontamination of
any persons,
property, animal or other form of life or matter whatever that
is extra-terrestrially
exposed, and includes the apprehension or seizure of
such person,
property, animal or other form of life or matter whatever.
(d) "Quarantine
period" means a period of consecutive calendar days as
may be established
in accordance with 1211.104 (a).
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Administrative
Actions. The Administrator or his designee..shall in his

authority.
(3) Determine
that a particular person, property,
animal, or other
form of life or matter whatever is
extra- terrestrially
exposed and quarantine such
person, property,
animal, or other form of life or

The quarantine may be based only on a
determination,
with or without the benefit of a
hearing, that
there is probable cause to believe that
such person,
property, animal or other form of life or

(4) Determine
within the United States or within
vessels or vehicles
of the United States the place,
boundaries,

and employees are prohibited from discharging from
the limits of
a quarantine station any quarantined person, property, animal
or other form
of life or matter whatever during order or other request,
order or demand
an announced quarantine period in compliance with a
subpoena, show
cause or any court or other authority without the prior
approval of
the General Counsel and the Administrator.
(b) Where approval
to discharge a quarantined person, property, animal

==================================
Write or call your congressman and tell him you want this law taken off the books.
This article was printed in The Open Line Newspaper
(Environmental Stewards)
August, 1992 in Spokane, WA 99223.
In the May issue of The Explorer, we reported
the existence of a law making exposure
to extraterrestrials illegal. This update
recently appeared on the Internet. Thanks to
Larry (CaptainDad@AOL.COM) for the research
and the report!
For those of you that have been on this list
for awhile you know we had a thread going
about the Federal E. T. Law making "extraterrestrial
exposure" illegal. As the law was
rather dated and someone asked if it was still
current, I decided to do a little more
research. I contacted Congressman Peter Barca
who serves on the Science, Space and
Technology Subcommittee to find out more (after
all, we do pay their wages!), with the
following results. This is an exact quote
from the Federal Register, Volume 56, Number
81, Friday, April 26, 1991, "Rules and Regulations."
Sorry to burst a few bubbles out
in cyberland....
