The much touted FOX UFO special, "Encounters" has now aired.
Unfortunately for the viewing public, one of the poorest UFO
cases in recent years was presented as fact: the Guardian case,
or as it was known 4 years ago-the Carp case.

UFO Magazine received this case in January of 1990, and we almost
immediately determined it to be a hoax. This was stated on
ParaNet at that time. Many of you were not here then, so you may
not be aware of this. Bob Oschler and Bruce Maccabee have pushed
this case, to the dismay of many in the UFO research arena.
Richard Hall and especially the Fund for UFO Research have
distanced themselves from this case. For a VERY GOOD REASON....

What the FOX broadcast did not show were the documents that
accompanied the tape. There is an excellent reason for that also.
That document follows this note. And remember----- UFO Magazine
and ParaNet declared this a hoax --  in 1990.
