When James Cadle, creator of the Flag of Earth, passed away in 2004, his
family elected not to continue making and distributing and promoting the
Flag. Flags have been unavailable since then.
Their web sites flagofearth.com and .net expired.
The Flag was placed in the public domain by James before he passed away.
The Flag has been widely used by organizations in the field of SETI.
Now our research group has taken up the cause, and the Flag is once
again available.
We have received the enthusiastic blessing and cooperation of the Cadle
family to continue James work. We have obtained the web sites
flagofearth.com and .net and will very soon also have .org .
Eventually .org will be the one we will use. The larger cloth Flags
are available on a non-profit basis, and smaller flags are also
available free for download that you can print yourself on paper.
The official name of our non-profit organization is the North American
Astrophysical Observatory
(NAAPO).
Information and ordering information about the Flag of Earth may be
found at
http://www.flagofearth.net
The Flag of Earth has also been adopted by the Megaconference, as its
symbol of global togetherness. The Megaconference is the world's largest
video conference, and it occurs once a year, this year on Nov 8. Judy
Cadle, wife of James Cadle, will speak in the Megaconference about the
history of the Flag of Earth, and read the famous poem written by James
about the Flag.
You can find more information about the Megaconference, and register to
participate remotely from your location (free), by going to
http://www.megaconference.org
Please help publicize this information as widely as possible. Thanks!
