When you go to take the exam, the first thing you discover is that it's not just an exam... There's a whole mess of documents that you need to fill out and submit to the High Council "before your Field Investigator status will be activated or access to CMS will be granted." Among these documents are:
- Field Investigator Personal Info
- Field Investigator Test Answer Sheet
- MUFON Volunteer Disclosure Statement
- Field Investigator Volunteer Agreement ("At Will" Agreement)
- Field Investigator Confidentiality Agreement
And that, my friends, is the hard part. The exam itself is ridiculously easy, and if I don't pass this sucker I really don't deserve to be in the UFO racket at all, ever.
Take Question #1. Please.
![]() |
Ethics. They're a bugger. |
a. to promote free and dispassionate investigation of UFO sightings with due regard to the rights of the percipients
b. to promote an understanding of the aims of MUFON by percipients and the community in general
c. to protect MUFON and its representatives from public censure and legal problems
d. all of the above
Then, turn to page 7 in the MUFON Field Investigator's Manual, and look under the heading entitled "Objectives of the Code of Ethics." There you will read the following: "The objectives of the Code of Ethics are: to promote free and dispassionate investigations of UFO sightings with due regard to the rights of the percipients; to promote an understanding of the aims of MUFON by percipients and the community in general..." and so forth.
Long story short: MUFON hands you the answers on a silver platter. Which, strangely enough, is what many UFOs look like.
But then there is the odd brain-twister like Question #89:
Q89. A form of non-verbal communication, reported as a result of some close encounter cases is called...
a. telemarketing
b. telepathy
c. telecommunications
d. telekinesis
Duh. As we learned in the last post, the only non-verbal communication that occurs in a UFO encounter is pantomime.
Funny story though: I once got a call from a non-verbal telemarketer. I don't know what he was selling, but I bought a gross.

If that weren't so obviously a stock photo, I'd say it kind of looks like you.
