Title : EXTRA-TERRESTRIAL EXPOSURE LAW
Author : Unknown
Date :

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 extra-terrestrials 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 "extraterrestrially 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 extra-terrestrials 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 extra-terrestrials, 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 nonhuman 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.1211.102 Definitions.

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.

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.

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) "Extra-terrestrially 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.

established in accordance with 1211.104 (a).

(a) Administrative actions. The Administrator or his designee..shall in his
discretion:

(1) Determine the beginning and duration of a quarantine period with respect
to any space mission; the quarantine period as it applies to various life
forms will be announced.

(2) Designate in writing quarantine officers to exercise quarantine
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 matter whatever. 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 matter whatever is extra-
terrestrially exposed.

(4) Determine within the United States or within vessels or vehicles of the
United States the place, boundaries, and rules of operation of necessary
quarantine stations.

(5) Provide for guard services by contract or otherwise, as many be
necessary, to maintain security and inviolability of quarantine stations and
quarantined persons, property, animals or other form of life or matter
whatever.

(6) Provide for the subsistence, health and welfare of persons quarantined
under the provisions of this part.

(7) Hold such hearings at such times, in such manner and for such purposes as
may be desirable or necessary under this part, including hearings for the
purpose of creating a record for use in making any determination under this
part for the purpose of reviewing any such determination.

(b) (3) During any period of announced quarantine, no person shall enter or
depart from the limits of the quarantine station without permission of the
cognizant NASA officer. During such period, the posted perimeter of a
quarantine station shall be secured by armed guard.

(b) (4) Any person who enters the limits of any quarantine station during the
quarantine period shall be deemed to have consented to the quarantine of his
person if it is determined that he is or has become extra-terrestrially
exposed.

(b) (5) At the earliest practicable time, each person who is quarantined by
NASA shall be given a reasonable opportunity to communicate by telephone with
legal counsel or other persons of his choice.

1211.107 Court or other process (a) NASA officers and employees are

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 or
other form of life or matter whatever in compliance with such a request,
order or demand of any court or other authority is not given, the person to
whom it is directed shall, if possible, appear in court or before the other
authority and respectfully state his inability to comply, relying for his
action on this 1211.107.

1211.108 Violations Whoever willfully violates, attempts to violate, or
conspires to violate any provision of this part or any regulation or order
issued under this part or who enters or departs from the limits of a
quarantine station in disregard of the quarantine rules or regulations or
