                                   Abstract

     K-2;  the alleged alien base in the Plumas National Forest is branded
   a hoax by default when the recorded radio transmission is found to be a
   copy of a tape which was available in bookstores across the country.

     From the moment I became aware of the Roswell case I have  maintained
   an ongoing interest in crashed ufos,  direct contact, and abductions. I
   tend to be more open to statements than some,  taking an innocent until
   proven  guilty  attitude,  rather than the more adversarial  "show  me"
   stance. ( I am not from Missouri ).  This means I listen to everything.
   I  save everything.  I  cross index everything.  But I  challenge  very
   little.   The  jury remains out until something is produced  which  can
   withstand  the  scientific  method,  or is good enough to go  before  a
   courtroom judge.  The result is a very large "wait and see"  file,  and
   occasionally a solidly closed case.

     My  wait and see attitude combined with a healthy dose of  dumb  luck
   has permitted me to move the K-2  report squarely from the wait and see
   file into the closed section. Cross indexed under HOAX.

     I have closely monitored the netmail concerning the K-2  report since
   the story first broke in June. Direct e mail with the spokesman for the
   Phoenix  Project and conversations with other interested  parties  have
   consumed  a  sizeable  portion of my storage  space.   Yet  I  remained
   unwilling  to  send  the Phoenix Project the money it  desired  for  an
   original copy of the reports.

     Conversations  with David Brune led to an arrangement for him to send
   me  his  copy of the K-2  report along with a copy of the  taped  radio
   transmission which led the Phoenix Project to investigate the K-2  site
   to begin with. I received the packet in early October and was surprised
   to find the contents of the tape familiar to me.

     It  should be noted that the tape received from David is labeled  K-2
   Radio   Transmission  Monaural  (58:20)   and  was  associated  with  a
   descriptive  paper noting its origin having been recorded on June,   5,
   1989   at  0200   PDT from shortwave  frequency  16.222   Megahertz  at
   Forbestown,   California.  A  note from the technical data states  that
   "Oscilloscope  observation of the recorded signal reveals the  presence
   of pulsed digital information impressed on the predominant analog audio
   signal components".  It then goes on to say that "This digital data may
   be encrypted".

     This  description of the K-2  radio transmission is inconsistent with
   my  own findings.  The actual contents of the K-2  tape are a  monaural
   reproduction of a tape which I purchased several years ago from a local
   bookstore. I am happy to say that after some digging in my garage I was
   able  to  locate my STEREO commercial production tape,  and that it  is
   still  in good condition.  My own tape is labeled ASTRAL SOUNDS and was
   copyrighted  1973   by  The  American  Research  Team.   The  tape  was
   distributed  under license by POTENTIALS UNLIMITED,   INC.   Potentials
   Unlimited marketed a wide variety of self help/self hypnosis/subliminal
   message  tapes in the late eighties.  Their products were available  in
   the  big chain bookstores such as Waldons and B Daltons.  The  original
   intent  of the ASTRAL SOUNDS tape was to synchronized sound with  brain
   wave    frequencies    for    some    interesting    effects     during
   listening/meditation.

     Both tapes have been donated to Paranet for the listening pleasure of
   serious  researchers.  If you have been considering purchasing ANYTHING
   from the PHOENIX PROJECT. I strongly advise you to reconsider.

   Regards
