This file is a 1999 set of email records from a federal records system, possibly released through FOIA. Most of the emails are broadcast messages from Joseph P. Firmage promoting his online book The Truth and the International Space Sciences Organization, which he founded to study propulsion, energy and consciousness. One message, from Ed Yardeni, concerns a World Economic Forum Y2K panel at Davos and notes that Firmage was originally on the panel. None of the emails describe a specific UFO sighting.

The honest assessment that's tough for the American ego to hear is that we've seen qnly the beginning. Which la-year 014 young man or woman wants to prepare to die on a battlefield with satellite-guided, nano-engineered 'brilliant pebbles' zipping through the air, remote controlled from policy joy sticks in Washington, when he can be necking with his girlfriend while watching Titanic, learning HTML in school, and chatting on AOL with friends in Japan about some incredible new MP3 tunes? will humans, collectively ever cherish, nourish, educate, trust and inspire each other sufficiently to stop t~e cycles of hatred and let weapons rust? The conflicts raging in Russia and other parts of Asia would suggest not, as our brothers and sisters continue to churn in an underaided epochal reconstruction of their communities, following a century of ravage by war. My observations are not intended to affix primary responsibility for this situation on the individuals within our military, who are among the most ruggedty honest and ethical of any people I've had the pleasure to meet; we have brave and intelligent family members forming and running the heaviest iron of our collective machine. Rather, I am criticizing the forward-looking relevance, and conveying deep concern' about the consequences, of the ideological charters that perpetuate the use of our ingenuity and resources for militarizing our small spaceship. How long will we let the consumer-producer cycle in this painful value chain go on before we vocalize ' and seriously finance ideas that unify instead of divide, accommodating steps toward an open world community of individual human·beings? Are the lines on Earth's map forever to divide, instead of denote, pur cultures? My own young generation has seen the memories of our parents' and grandparents' painful sacrifices. Unlike any generation before us, we are humbled by and grateful to be able to learn from terrifying memories of our ancestors' horrors, passed to us in 70mm film and Digital Surround Sound. Their anguish is engraved in blood painted across our history books. We must question whether we have respect for their lessons -whether we have felt the depth of their sacrifice - sufficient to evolve our momentum beyond both the Hot and Cold War Realpolitik -that killed them. We must evolve the limits of the conceptual paradigm of humanity's future, if we wish to give co~pass to our present. I think it's fair to say that most people believe, or least certainly hope, that one day human beings will haye figured out how to live together in peace. If such a utopian future is ever to be achieved in reality, there are two great tests among many others that all inhabitants of Earth must figure out together. First, influential individuals must step forward who have the
