So you think Earth has been visited by unidentified flying objects, and the evidence has been suppressed by the government? That creatures from outer space regularly abduct humans, sexually abuse them and use them for breeding experiments? Well, you have plenty of company, and that makes you a part of one of the biggest problems in the world of science, astronomer Carl Sagan and others say. "It's not that we're grumpy about lost continents or Sagan said Friday. "It's that the stakes are very high for believing what is not true." He blamed "scientific illiteracy" for widespread willingness to accept hokum as fact.

Surveys indicate 25 percent to 50 percent of adult U.S. citizens "don't know the Earth goes around the sun once a year," Sagan said. "Almost every newspaper in the United states has an astrology column, and none has a daily science column. Some have a weekly science column. Why is that?" he asked.

Of the 740 people attending the convention, which runs through Sunday in this Seattle suburb, most are psychologists, said Paul Kurtz, the chairman and founder of the group. The opening session Thursday evening was devoted to a debate between John Mack, a Harvard of his patients have a been abpsychiatrist who thinks about 90 ducted and molested by space aliens, and Donna Bassett, a free-lance journalist from North Carolina who convinced him she was an abductee. "The (research) environment was disturbing," Bassett said. "There was no scientific method whatsoever." Friday was the 47th anniversary of the first modern report of flying saucers, an account given by search and rescue pilot Kenneth Arnold after a mission near Mount Rainier. In a speech detailing UFO reports and scientific findings, astronomer James E.

McGaha, a retired Air Force major, displayed a black-and-white slide of "mountain mirages," small round forms appearing just over the top of mountain ridges. "They do look like little disks. They do appear to move around," McGaha said. OSU students help community by donating their dorm items The Statesman Journal CORVALLIS Oregon State University students pitched in by the barrel for local charities by pitching out items in the "Great Dorm Cleanout."

In addition to helping local charities, the idea was to reduce the staggering amount of refuse that fills OSU's trash bins at the end of the school year.
