The Warwick Research Institute Letter

!--Note: Exopolitics UK Admin--! - This short article on a little known area which strangely relates to public acclimation of the UFO issue was supposedly linked to Warwick University. It is archived here for further research use.

In 1992 John Schuessler, a Deputy Director for the Mutual UFO Network, Inc., received a large package of information from an anonymous source. This package included the following letter:

TO: Policy Committee, November 1990
Subject: Observations on Public Acclimation Program

The metered release of information to the public through various
unofficial channels continues to generate much interest and an
increasing level of awareness, with few if any observable
side-effects, other than healthy skepticism on the part of some
people.

We respectfully suggest continuing the present approach, as it
is making information available to those who are psychologically
ready for it, without causing undue stress on those who are not
ready.

The present approach is also proving helpful to those who are
having first-hand encounters. It is providing them with
a context in which to put experiences they cannot other-
wise explain or understand. Having some conception of what
has happened to them is an enormous psychological relief to
these people -- and helps them get on with their lives, as
best as possible. Providing information which helps people
to cope will become increasingly important as the percentage
of the population having these encounters continues to rise.
As you know, some assistance in this area is being rendered
by interested parties.

Over time, it may be appropriate to increase the accuracy and
the consistency of information in circulation. The very good
groundwork laid over the last few years has made it possible
to acclimate the public at the current accelerated rate. As
the public becomes more comfortable with IAC and other sightings,
"crop circles," etc., additional types of information might be
released. It appears most of the research community is running
one to two years or more ahead of the mainstream media. This
gives some timeframe for possible disclosures to the general
public -- while providing advance details to those who are ready
for it now.

Having a certain number of informed citizens among the population
could very well prove to be an invaluable resource in the face
of unpredictable future events. Indeed, history may record that
it was these aware people who set aside their differences and
worked together the most to help humanity, their country and
their government in the changing times and challenges ahead.

Donald Ware comments:

I think the content of this letter is the result of a sociological study conducted by the Warwick Research Institute,
associated with Warwick University in Warwick, England. I think the incomplete date and lack of a proper signature are part of the isinformation that should be expected in such releases. This allows people who are not ready for the truth to continue living with their comfortable, narrow perspectives. A Mid Ohio Research Associate questioned the Institute receptionist about their clients and was told they are primarily the United Nations, the World Bank, and the International Monetary Fund**. The package received by Schuessler, and apparently a number of other prominent UFO investigators, that contained this letter also contained a list of names and addresses that included a Christian Warwick. This was done, I believe, to help keep inquisitive investigators off the back of the Institute in England.
