Unlike establishment science, there are no funding sources for "fringe" projects like the Starchild Project. Consequently, all that we do in terms of scientific testing must be paid for out of our own pockets. That is why we have made the Project a "public" endeavor. We are asking for your help because we need it, and because we feel you have at least a right and perhaps even an obligation to participate in every step of determining exactly what the Starchild is. Needless to say, if the answer is "not human" or "not entirely human," this will be the greatest discovery in history.
