MUFON

Elaine was one of 4 state directors and 2 assistant state directors who were purged from MUFON in December 2010.

Operation Right to Know

In the 1990s she was one of the organizers for Operation Right to Know (ORTK), an organization which sponsored public protests against UFO secrecy.

Alien Abduction Research & JAR Magazine

From the onset, i.e. since the mid 80s, a lot of Elaine's research focused on alien abductions.
She was one of the founders and a member of the editorial board of JAR Magazine (the Journal of Abduction-Encounter Research).
