     PARANET-DENVER,  CO--Could World War III be started  by  UFO
activity?  That is the question that seems to be at the forefront
of Soviet-American talks these days.  ParaNet received this press
release  and  is passing this valuable information  along.   More
details will follow.

          RUSSIANS WORRIED UFOS COULD TRIGGER STAR WARS

     For   the  first  time,  the  Russians  have  linked   their
opposition  to Star Wars with UFOs, saying that they are  worried
that  UFOs could accidentally trigger a nuclear war  between  the
United States and the Soviet Union.
     In  an  extraordinary article titled  "UFOs  and  Security,"
published  in the official Soviet Military Review,  the  Russians
expressed  concern  that the Strategic Defense  Initiative  (SDI)
computers  might  mistakenly  order  that  UFOs  be  fired  upon,
thinking they were enemy missiles or launch an unprovoked counter
attack against the Soviet Union.
     The magazine reported that the USSR Academy of Sciences  has
been unable to find prosaic explanation for "tens of thousands of
UFOs"  that  have been seen over Russia.   Three  hundred  Soviet
scientists  and other experts met in Tomsk last year to  consider
the UFO phenomenon.
     Michael C. Luckman, Director of the New York Center for  UFO
Research  (NYCUFOR)  called  the Russian statement  on  UFOs  and
security  "an  extraordinary  admission  that  UFOs  are   real."
Luckman  urged the United Nations to "take appropriate action  to
inform the people of the world about UFOs that are visiting Earth
and their possible impact on all mankind."
     "Not  only are UFOs real," said Luckman, "but  according  to
Senator  Barry Goldwater they are classified 'Above Top  Secret.'
We  have 10,000 pages of official documents declassified  by  the
United  States  government  and released  under  the  Freedom  of
Information Act, that clearly show that UFOs exist, that they are
operated under intelligent control, and that they are taken  very
seriously by this and other great nations of the world."
     Luckman emphasized that "There is no reason to believe  that
extraterrestrials pose any threat whatsoever to the human race."
     President  Ronald Reagan publicly stated on  three  separate
occasions   that   "If   the   Earth   faced   an   invasion   by
extraterrestrials,  the United States and the Soviet Union  would
join forces to repel such an invasion."  (Dec. 4, 1985,  Fallston
High  School, Maryland; September 17, 1987, opening of  the  42nd
session  of  the United Nations; and May 4,  1988,  the  National
Strategy  Forum,  Chicago).  Addressing officials  in  Russia  on
February  16, 1987, Mikhail Gorbachev disclosed that  Reagan  had
raised the issue of a possible extraterrestrial invasion of Earth
during the Geneva Summit on November 18-20.  "I shall not dispute
the  hypothesis," said Gorbachev, "though I think it's early  yet
to worry about such an intrusion."
     Major Ret. Colman VonKeviczky, Director of ICUFON, a leading
American  research organization, is the man who  sparked  Russian
action on the Star Wars-UFO issue.  Major VonKeviczky, who served
in  the Royal Hungarian Army, has personally discussed the  issue
with military officials in Denmark, France, Switzerland,  Sweden,
Austria,  Hungary and Spain.
     Major  VonKeviczky  played  a  major  role  in  laying   the
groundwork  for the matter of UFOs and international security  to
be  brought before the Special Political Committee of the  United
Nations General Assembly on November 27, 1978.
     Among the documents that Major VonKeviczky has uncovered  is
a treaty agreement between the United States and the Soviet Union
signed  on  September 30, 1971.  The treaty  provides  that  each
party notify the other "immediately in the event of detection  by
missile  warning systems of unidentified objects or in the  event
of  signs  of  interference with these systems  or  with  related
communications  facilities,  if such occurrences could  create  a
risk of outbreak of nuclear war between the two countries."
     Antonio  Huneeus, an international science writer and  Latin
American  Continental  Coordinator  for the  Mutual  UFO  Network
(MUFON), said, "It is remarkable that while the American  Academy
of  Sciences  is  still quoting their  1969  endorsement  of  the
controversial  Condon  Report on UFOs, their  Soviet  counterpart
seems  to  be way ahead in pursuing research  of  this  important
contemporary phenomenon."
     Luckman and Major VonKeviczky will discuss the UFO-Star Wars
issue as it pertains to the United States and Russia at the Whole
Life  Expo  on  October 6 and 7 at the New York  Penta  Hotel  in
Manhattan.   VonKeviczky and Huneeus are scheduled to address  an
international UFO conference called "Dialogue With the Universe,"
to be held from October 26 to 29 in Frankfurt, West Germany.
