Boys and girls, intellectuals and academics, gather around for another chance to play GSB's "mix and match" extravaganza. This time, simply match the following descriptions with either AI (Artificial Intelligence) or MUFON (Mutual UFO Network).

- founded in 1969 as a multidisciplinary, grassroots approach to resolving the UFO mystery.

- founded in the late 60's as a multidisciplinary, academic approach to resolving the mysteries of the brain.

- the last five conferences were themed "Ufology: the emergence of a new science", "Ufology: a historical perspective", "Ufology: a scientific paradigm", "Ufology: a scientific enigma" and "The fiftieth anniversary of Ufology".

- the last five conferences were themed "AI: almost there", "AI: here we go", "AI: any minute now", "AI: are we there yet?" and "AI: I have to go to the bathroom".

- in a 1990 symposium called "UFOs: The impact of E.T. contact upon society", David A. Gotlib, B.Sc., M.D. presented the seminal paper "Who Speaks for the Witness? Medical and Ethical Issues in Abduction Research".

- in the "Meta AI" track of a 1994 conference, the controversial paper "Talking about AI: Socially-Defined Linguistic Subcontexts in AI" was presented.
