KeelyNet BBS

KeelyNet was a dial-up bulletin board system that distributed alternative-science and free-energy files in the 1990s. The Bajak flux-capacitor file (BAJAK1.ASC, dated 02/09/96) carries the KeelyNet header, which identifies the system as "A FREE Alternative Sciences BBS sponsored by Vanguard Sciences," located at PO Box 870716, Mesquite, Texas 75187, with a DataLine at (214) 324-3501 and Jerry Decker as the listed contact.

Role in this source

The KeelyNet header is the provenance marker for the Bajak material. It states that the file was "courteously shared with us by an Anonymous contributor about one year ago," described as "a long time KeelyNetter who has made many useful suggestions and contributed several interesting files over the years." The header also notes that "Files also available at Bill Beaty's http://amasci.com."

This makes KeelyNet the distribution channel through which the Bajak circuit entered circulation, and it explains why the file survives in multiple mirrors (KeelyNet itself, amasci.com, and later the source archive and Paranormalis reproductions). The KeelyNet lineage recurs across the archive corpus as a common origin for alternative-science documents.

Assessment

The source documents KeelyNet as a distribution channel, not as a validator of the material it carried. The presence of a file on KeelyNet indicates circulation, not verification.
