MEDIA INFORMATION
Press Releases, NARCAP in the Media
Media Inquiries:
NARCAP
is interested in promoting the issue of aviation
safety and unidentified aerial phenomena in a measured
and responsible fashion. It is our opinion that
these incidents are rare but they do deserve attention.
Aviation safety concerns of a similar nature include
wind shear and other events with a low frequency
of occurance.
NARCAP
has no position regarding what UAP may represent
though there is some evidence to suggest that UAP
represent a category of phenomena that has not been
adequately investigated by science. We do share
a position of solidarity with other official international
groups studying anomalous aerial phenomena and aviation
related matters (see:
International
Organizations and Case Files
). Better
reporting regimes and an active attempt to counter
under-reporting bias will provide enough data to
demonstrate a further need for analysis of UAP reports
which affect aviation safety.
Additionally,
our staff and our advisory board include aeronautics
and aviation experts of high caliber like current
and former NASA research scientists and aviation
safety program administrators including the current
Chief of the Aviation Safety Program Office at Ames
Research Center.

Fighting the
Fear Factor
- Rick Delvecchio, San Francisco
Chronicle
Rick Delvecchio

about the work of NARCAP. It appeared in the Jan.

thanks to him for taking the time and interest to

Science
and the Failure to Study Unidentified Aerial Phenomena
- Leslie Kean
Leslie
Kean, familiar to many for her work on "Flashpoints"
on KPFA, Berkeley, has taken an activist role on
many social issues including the issue of Unidentified
Aerial Phenomena. She has written several articles
reflecting this interest and citing NARCAP research.
Her most recent publication on UAP is a study called
"Science and the Failure to Study Unidentified
Aerial Phenomena". This paper, commissioned
by the Sci Fi Channel and the Public Relations firm
of Podesta-Mattoon, outlines the root answers to
the question "Why isn't science interested
in UAP?"
Unexplained
Sightings Met With Denial - Leslie Kean
NARCAP
has enjoyed a tremendous increase in attention due
to an article written by journalist Leslie Kean.
The article documents NARCAP's role in addressing
the issue of aviation safety and UFOs/UAP. The article
first appeared in the Providence Journal on May
3, 2001, and then, through national syndication,
in the San Francisco Examiner and other major newspapers
in mid-May, 2001. NARCAP thanks Leslie K. for her
good work, and we all look forward to her next publication.
