Scientific paper

The author assumes that there exists a vast network of intelligent civilizations (the Galactic Club) in productive mutual contact and that UFOs are of extraterrestrial intelligent (ETI) origin and flown by members of the Galactic Club. He then suggests that the reason for the lack of official contact between UFOs of ETI origin and us is that they are merely surveying us because we are on the verge of becoming a member of the Galactic Club. He makes two proposals for a CETI strategy: (1) carry out radio search for Type II and Type III civilizations among nearer galaxies and search for Bracewell probes, and (2) carry out serious study of the UFO phenomenon to produce 'harder' data (e.g., spectra from glowing UFOs), including a systematic search using radar networks, infrared sensors from space, etc.
