TEUFOS—The Truth Engine UFO Society

The mission of TEUFOS is, as a complement to the science-based, data gathering, analyzing and reporting organizations like MUFON and UAP Discovery, to apply a broader critical and philosophical, purely rational, approach to the subject. In an attempt to both obtain insight into the phenomenon and to bring the study of UFOs into the mainstream, to demarginalize it, we will organize Truth Engine debates between believers and skeptics and between believers and believers. In the believers and believers debates, various theories about the nature and significance of UFOs will be vetted.

We have cast the Truth Engine method of dialectics as The Game of a Trillion Worlds (GoaTW).

GoaTW debate of all kinds happens in unending series, or tournaments, of debates on the same topic. The primary tournament on the topic of UFOs is the Great UFO Tournament. In this tournament, believers debate with the skeptics. Individual TEUFOS chapters can organize local tournaments.

The affirmative resolution for all the UFO debates of the Great UFO Tournament is: "Some UFOs are otherworldly devices." The negatives are "No UFOs are otherworldly devices," and "The arguments for the affirmative are not convincing."

In all the debates of the Great UFO Tournament, TEUFOS members (the affirmative) will debate members of TESkepS. A Joint Committee will edit the TE article.

The TE article for the Great UFO Tournament is The UFO Dialectic, Part 1. Part 2 serves as the article for a subordinate TEUFOS tournament called the TEUFOS Intramural Tournament. In the debates of this tournament, TEUFOS members will debate each other, and, together, will edit the TE article.

Suggestions for changing the companion article, The UFO Dialectic, Part 1, will be developed within the TEUFOS and TESkepS chapters. The members of each chapter will select the best suggestions and will send them to the Joint Committee where they may be integrated into the article. Suggestions for changes to Part 2 of the book will be developed and integrated into the article within the TEUFOS chapters.

We intend to publish the debate videos in the Encyclopedia of Truth and in the Truth Engine Chronicle.

The Truth Engine is a for-profit organization; we do not wish to be dependent on donations, rather we seek compensation for providing people with something of value.

As of now, there are no local chapters of TEUFOS.

Joining the League of Dialecticians is separate from joining a Truth Engine society. To join TEUFOS, submit your request to contact@truthenginedebate.com.
