‘University of Manitoba Acquires Huge Collection of UFO Files’

“The frozen prairies of Canada have always been home to strange events and mysterious encounters. So it’s perhaps appropriate that the University of Manitoba in Winnipeg has just accepted a large donation of documents from a prolific UFO researcher confirming the province’s ‘unnatural history.’

“Science writer and researcher Chris Rutkowski is a Canadian legend. Undoubtedly the country’s most prolific researcher and writer on UFOs and paranormal phenomena, Rutkowski was approached by the university’s archives and was asked to donate some of his collection to its library.

“’I’ve been doing research and publishing in this field for more than 40 years. I’ve accumulated a lot of files, notes, books and zines over the decades, and I had always wondered what was going to happen to it all,’ Rutkowski told Motherboard in an interview. ‘The Director of Archives had seen me on TV talking about the Falcon Lake case. She approached me and asked if I would consider donating the files…After discussing it more over dinner, I wondered out loud about the possibility of donating my entire collection. And that was that.’”

Just thinking – A university would not turn down a large collection of, say, Sumerian or Babylonian tablets and other artifacts, and, is the accuracy of 4,000-plus years' old cuneiform writing any more accurate than 40 years of modern research using modern methods of observation and filing? Didn’t think so.
