F.O (Flying Saucers) Several weeks ago a fellow em ployee received a letter (business) from A rizona with a stam p on the back (see enclosed) Being interested in U . F.O 's I asked for the stam p & sent $3.00 for the 12 issues of A FSCA . H aving received & read m y first issue I feel it isn't just what it appears on the surface. I can’t say just why, but with m y lim ited idea of how com m unists operate it strikes m e it is backed by them . M y reason for writing this is that I consider m yself a true A m erican, I am told m y ancestors go back to a G r G r G r G randm other who was an Indian Squaw & I'm proud of it. If, by writing for this A FSCA R eport, m y nam e could in anyway be aligned with the com m unist party, I would like to know if there is any way I can get things straightened out. I m ay be all wrong about m y interpretation of this report but I'd like to be sure since I expect I will get the other issues as they com e up. 9S/ V I will be 63 yrs old in a few days.

The high school students—three boys, three girls—told Police Chief John C. M aclvor of Littleton they witnessed un­ explained, apparently “hovering” red, blue and white lights jrccorhpsnied by a series of pulsating buzzing sounds which began about 9:30 p.m . The teen-agers, all 17, who described what they saw hesitantly, were described by M aclvor as being “sincere, cold sober and a little shaken by what they saw.” ’ The group appeared at M aclvor’s office shortly before 11 p.m . “I was real skeptical at first,” M aclvor said. “But each of the kids called their parents—who knew they’d been pic­ nicking—to tell them where they were. “I don’t know what they saw,” he said, “but I’m con­ vinced they saw som ething.” A lan Scrivner, son of M r. and M rs. R ussell Scrivner of 1040 Jackson St., a junior at East H igh School, gave the following account: Scrivner and five friends drove to D aniels Park, 10-12 .m iles southeast of Littleton, about 6:30 p.m . They parked the car and walked about a city block down a sm all incline and up again to a stone shelter built in the side of a hill. The group was sitting around a fire they’d built inside when they heard “what sounded like a m an walking on top of the shelter.” The roof can easily be reached on foot from the slanting hillside. Scrivner and D on O tis, an East H igh junior, son of M r. and M rs. Elm o O tis, 1939 Fairfax St., stood on top of the shelter and shined a flashlight into the surrounding area. They saw nothing. The two—leaving the others behind in the shelter—m ade their way through the underbrush back to the road. “I thought som eone was m essing around m y car,” Scrivner said. “Just as we got to the car,” he said, “both of us heard a,real weird buzzing noise. It seem ed to be all around us.” A s they reached the car, the youths saw “two red lights —about a foot each in diam eter—about two feet off the ground and parallel to each other.” There was a white light in the center of the reds. The lights, about 20 feet apart, appeared to be in a field on the far side of the road “about 25 yards” from the car. The two, thinking “it m ight be two parked cars or som ething,” crouched in the ditch and waited. A bout three m inutes later, they again approached the car. They saw and heard nothing. They returned to the shelter. The four in the shelter said that, while the two had been gone, they’d heard the sam e “footstep-like” sound on the roof again. Two of the girls said they’d also seen a “tall m an, who m ight’ve been wearing a raincoat,” dart through the light showing through the window into the area. They also said they heard his footsteps. The group decided to leave. A s they were walking back to the car, O tis turned and saw “a real bright flash behind the hill over the shelter and it lit up the whole area.” Bu zzing 'All Arou nd ' The om inous buzzing began again. N o direction, “just all around — never heard anything like it in m y life,” Scrivner said. Shortly afterward as the group neared the car, they all agreed they saw the sam e thing: Two blue lights hovering low in the sky, about three- quarters of a m ile away. The lights were stationary and went from bright to dim . A third — white — light appeared to rise up and down between the blues and “lit up the area.” N o outline —other than the lights—was visible. They perched atop the car’s hood and watched the blue and white lights “off and on” for about a half hour. The lights appeared in back of the shelter — in the opposite di­ rection from the first lights seen in the field. Twenty m inutes after the blues appeared, another set— these, blues with a bright red in the center — appeared “off to the left of the others and about a block away.” These hovered near the ground. The buzzing continued. The night was overcast with no stars visible but “real iSpokane Daily Chrenicte, Saturday, A pril 2, 1966^—| Since D ecem ber Area U FO Buffs R eport Skies Clear of Saucers Re ce nt sightings in other se c­ tions of the cou ntry have stim u ­ late d inte re st in u nid e ntifie d fly­ ing obje cts in the Spokane are a bu t none has be e n re porte d se e n in this locality since De cm e be r.

W hile this world's econom y Is based on hardship, strife and fear. H ow do they live without a war In their lands of m ilk and honey? They don’t need econom y, Because they don’t use any m oney! They cannot give us any ships, So we m ust try and build our own. But they are waiting right out there. O h, m y friends, we’re not alone! H ow do they go at such great speed, A nd vanish then without prediction? Because they use free energy, A nd there isn't any friction. Brother have you seen their ships ?

The latest was sighted a few nights ago by residents and pilots in the north­ ern tier of states and Canada. They described it as an orange fireball. The A ir Force at 'first called it an unidentified flying object, but now thinks it was a m eteor. Som e other people called it a flying saucer. Several people say they saw the fireball land Thursday night. A n 11-year-old boy in Lorain, I O hio, says he watched it drop into the woods , near his hom e. A wom an in Elyria, O hio, 10 i m iles away, claim s she saw it plunge into a i vacant lot across the street from her hom e. O thers say they saw it streak into Lake M ichi­ gan. Scientists and police com bed a 75-acre area near Pittsburgh after a wom an there saw the object crash to earth “sm oldering.” (D espite these witnesses and search efforts, however, the thing has yet to be found. In this regard, it is like all other unidentified flying objects, or U FO s, which are m ysterious be­ cause they are seen but neve? found- W hatever it tum a pul to be—m eteor, satel­ lite .part, hoax, weather oddity or m an from M ars—it appeared in a banner year for such objects, which alm ost disappeared from public consciousness following a rash of reports of flying saucers in the m id-1950s: “W e’ve had m dre reports this year than in any year since 1957, when we had m ore than a thousand,” says a spokesm an for Project Blue Book, the A ir 1 Force program set up in 1948 to evaluate re­ ports of the phenom ena. Visitors From Outer Space N obody knows what the objects are or where they com e from , but there is no lack of theories —or of controversy. The A m algam ated Flying Saucer Clubs of A m erica, Inc., is sure the “saucers” com e from outer space. H ow do they know? The “space people” have told them . N ot only that, says G abriel G reen, who heads the California group, “space people give contactees inform ation about life on other planets and solutions to insurm ountable prob­ lem s on our planet.” O ne suggestion allegedly m ade to M r. G reen in 1960 by a visit from A l­ pha Centauri, 'a nearby star: R un for Presi­ dent as a write-in candidate. (H e cam paigned briefly, then decided not to run.) The N ational Investigations Com m ittee on A erial Phenom ena ((N ICA P), a private re­ search organization in W ashington, doesn’t hold with that theory. “W e reject reports of noble beings landing on earth to solve all our problem s,” says a spokesm an. So m en from M ars are a lot of bunk? N ot necessarily, says the com m ittee. It believes $ Congressional in­ vestigation would prove that U FO s “are real physical objects . . . under the control of living beings.” A s an afterthought, the spokesm an says:- “There are a trem endous num ber of ego­ m aniacs who have been able to appoint them ­ selves experts in this field because it’s so con­ fused.” O ne m an who’s not confused at all is Charles A . M aney, professor em eritus of physics and m athem atics at D efiance, College in O hio. Says the professor: “These objects are unquestion­ ably from outer space?’ H e bases his reason­ ing on the fact that the objects often interfere with local electrical circuits, indicating to him they have “a m eans of propulsion associated with m agnetic fields.” “There’s Nothing To It” Such notions are scoffed at by astronom ers, hcweve^. “A ll this is im agination outside the realftrof science,” says D onald H . M enzel, di­ rector of the observatory at H arvard. “I have N EW SA U CER PH O TO S: These rem arkable photos of Flying Saucers were taken by D r. D aniel W .

There’s not one cause, but hundreds. Som e are quite spec­ tacular, such as reflections from ice crystals or bright stars, searchlights on clouds or high­ flying spider webs. But to som e people the exis­ tence of flying saucers is a m atter of religious fanaticism ,” he says. But M r. M enzel reads m ore into the A ir Force data than does the A ir Force itself. O f the 9,786 U FO reports m ade to the A ir Force since 1947, 673 rem ain classified as (“unidenti­ fied,” a spokesm an says. H e defines this cate­ gory as containing sightings whose pertinent data can’t be correlated with any known object or phenom ena. The spokesm an quickly adds: “W e have nei­ ther received nor discovered any evidence that proves the existence of intraspace m obility or extraterrestrial life and we continue to extend an open invitation to anyone who feels he pos­ sesses any evidence of such vehicles operating in our atm osphere.” A nd he states: “N o U FO report evaluated by the A ir Force has ever given arty indication of a threat to our national security.” The A ir Force’s approach disturbs som e people, however. “The A ir Force should adm it there are natural phenom ena taking place un­ der our noses of which we know nothing,” says I. M . Levitt, director of Feis Planetarium at the Franklin Institute in Philadelphia. H e adds: “The A ir Force is trying to explain som ething that isn’t susceptible to explanation.” R obert R isser, director of the O klahom a Sci­ ence and A rt Foundation planetarium at O kla­ hom a City, believes “the A ir Force m ust have had its star-finder upside down during A ug­ ust,” when several reports of flying saucers were ascribed by the A ir Force to sightings of stars. “The constellations of Taurus and O rion weren’t visible at the tim e the A ir Force said the sightings were m ade. I think they m ade an error.” The whole problem , says J. A llen H yntek, Chairm an of the departm ent of astronom y at N orthwestern U niversity and a consultant to the A ir Force, is that the m atter should be studied m ore thoroughly. “Pressures to conform ity in academ ic cir­ cles and fear of ridicule have slowed the study,” according to R obert H all, a sociology professor at the U niversity of Illinois in Chi­ cago. “The possibility of life on M ars is an un­ popular thing to consider these days,” says Frank B. Salisbury, a professor of plant phy­ siology at Colorado State U niversity. A t the risk of being unpopular, M r. Salisbury told the fifth annual Space Conference this year that “there m ay be som e natural explanation of these things, but a tentative considered is that U FO s are ^fars.” Fueling the flying-sauqer possibility to be spaceships from controversy has been the large num ber of reports from what m any people consider reliable witnesses—pilots with technical backgrounds. Since 1947, m ore than 100 private, m ilitary and com m ercial pilots have reported spotting strange objects in the sky, according to one study. Pinning down such reports is difficult, how­ ever. “Som e of the boys did report things they couldn’t identify a few years ago,” says a spokesm an for A m erican A irlines. “But our pilots haven’t m ade a report for years.” N evertheless, “we have on file a great num ­ ber of reports from pilots who don’t want their nam es used but still want to tell som ebody what they’ve seen, claim s J. B. H artanft, Jr., president of the A ircraft O wners and Pilots A s- sociatiom A nd he says: “I haven’t drawn any conclusions m yself, but I think we’ve certainly got a good m ystery on our hands.” London, O ntario Free Press 3-26-66 lOOW atch UFO Disc-Like Object Hovers, Rises For Two Hours East of Kettle Point By JIM ETHER INGTON Free Press Sarnia Bureau SA R N IA — A revolving ob­ ject, sighted in the sky east of Kettle Point last night, was watched for m ore than two hours by about 100 persons. Lawrence Bressette, who op- A erates a store on the Kettle Point Indian R eserve, said a m otorist brought the object to his attention about 8 p.m . H e said he looked at it through binoculars and could see red, blue, green and white lights flashing from the disc-shaped object. M r. Bressette said it re-' m ained m otionless for about an hour flashing lights, then slowly began to rise. Cloud cover rolled in about 10 p.m ., allowing only Ings. “I’ve never like this,” he periodic sight­ seen anything said. ‘W e all saw it. It was low — about 200 f‘ or 300 feet off the ground to 1 the east. Then it slowly began ■ to m ove up.” M r. Bressette said it could not have been swam p gas which was suggested was the cause of unidentified ‘flying object sightings in the D etroit ajea last week. “I’ve seen swam p gas lights. This was not the sam e,” he said. “Besides there hasn’t been any, swam p gas lights around here since before the war.” „ \M r. Bressette said his broth­ er, Jeffery, also reported see­ ing an object over Sarnia. This one stayed stationary for a short tim e then shot across the sky at a very high speed. A n officer in control opera­ tions at Selfridge A ir Force Base, M ount Clem ens, M ich., said the Canadian sighting was the fourth reported to him last night. The other three were from the D etroit area. H e said no radar reports had been obtained on any of the sightings. M r. Bressette reported jet ■ planes in the area at .one point while the group watched along the Lake H uron shore. But there was no possibility the object he saw was a jet. In M ichigan new reports of IM U IU IIH U IIH ^ U FO sightings were received Saturday night as far north as the tip of the “Thum b” in Lake H uron.

By Harold Scarlett W as Jesus Christ a M artian? “It’s hard to say,” said G abriel G reen thoughtfully. Then he added that it certainly seem s plausible. It’s no trick at all to walk on water or ascend to the heavens if you have a M artian levitation belt around your waist and an anti-gravity beam to ride, G reen explained. Furtherm ore, he said, the M artians now visiting earth on flying saucers are trying to save the earth’s people from their own follies — just as the Savior was. G reen can speak with som e au­ thority on these m asters because, he says, he m et and talked with a M artian once. A lso a four-foot m an from the A lpha Centauri star system .

N ot being too telepathic, we just called G reen on the phone to interview him about the recent rash of flying saucer sightings around the country. “It is a continuation of their efforts to enlighten us,” G reen replied in calm and cultured tones. “The current series of sightings and landings, I understand, will increase. They are not going to go away, as som e m em bers of our governm ent would like.” W H Y DO TH EY keep buzzing down here and scaring people? “W hat with nuclear proliferation growing, it seem s rather obvious that unless we start resolving the present problem s facing m ankind, we will destroy ourselves and perhaps som e of the universe along with us,” G reen ex­ plained. “This is one of the prim ary reasons why the extra-terrestrials started m ak­ ing visitations in 1947, shortly after we developed this ability — to watch over us and if possible to im part their ad­ vanced scientific, technological and sociological knowledge to help us re­ 4-12-66 G A B R IEL G R EEN H ead Saucerer‘Parking between m y ball and the green—I’d hardly call TH A T intelligent life from another planet.” Cartoon by Fliom F rom R.

They hope to elim inate the have-not nations . . . through superior financing. They have an advanced eco­ nom ic system they call U niversal Econom ics. The econom ics part of it is what I personally am trying to trans­ m it” H E SA ID R UEFULLY , however, that the saucer clubs them selves are in an econom ic pinch that has prevented needed research. G reen said he runs the saucer clubs out of his own hom e, at 2004 N orth H oover in Los A ngeles, “to cut down on the overhead.” H e said there are clubs in 50 m ajor U .S. cities and abroad, with a total of about 3,500 m em bers. H ouston has no club, he said, but he does have som e interested H ous­ tonians on his m ailing list. “W e are a contact-oriented research group,” he said, “m eaning that m any of our m em bers have m ade actual physical contact with crews of these craft” G reen said he has sighted 85 to 100 spacecraft around Los A ngeles over the years and has m et “half a dozen or so m em bers of the crews.” B UT G R EEN B ELITTLED his own experiences. “They’re so insignificant it’s hardly worth talking about them ,” he said. “Som e of our m em bers have actually been taken for rides in spacecraft. “I certainly wouldn't turn down a ride if it were offered m e. But they’ve never asked m e.” G reen said he m et the M artian by appointm ent at a friend’s hom e, and he looked “just like anybody you’d m eet on the street.” H e was casually dressed, G reen said, and wore a short­ sleeve, shim m ery, m etallic-looking shirt which he said would stop bullets. A ll in all, a handsom e chap, G reen said. “I felt his hair and it was quite coarse and worn in a V-shape down to­ ward the center of the forehead,” G reen said. “But I rather doubt all M artians wear their hair alike, any m ore than we do. “H E SA ID TH E M A R TIA N canals :»/ *»".., 11SW ??

M ost of the reports of them are that they are norm al height or larger,” G reen said. “There was that space ship that landed near A lbuquerque, for instance, with a crew of four m en and five wom ­ en. They were very beautiful, very well proportioned. Seven to nine feet tall.” G reen said he had m et other inter­ stellar travelers but would “rather not go into the whole list.” W here did they park their space ships while they were visiting him ? “OH , SOM ETIM ES they actually park them — hang them up in the sky with a force field around them .

G reen said naturally he asked to take the spacem en’s picture, but they refused and he abided by their wishes. “A n associate of m ine once tried to sneak a couple of flash pictures,” he said, “but two tim es the flash gun wouldn’t fire, even though the cam era was in perfect working condition. “TH A T DEM ONSTR A TES the pow­ ers of the m ind of these people.

A PR IL 18. 1966 UFO Plays Tag W ith Deputies in 85-M ile Chase R A VEN N A , O ., A pril 17 (U PI). —Two Portage county sheriff’s deputies followed a “bright cir­ cular” unidentified object Sun­ day from A twater, 0., to Free- drom , Pa., a distance of 85 m iles. D eputies D ale Spaur and W . L. N eff were investigating a routine traffic accident at 5 A .M . when they were alerted by radio to be on the lookout for an object beading their way. Spaur, an A ir Force gunner during the Korean W ar, said the circular object “about 30 to 45 feet in diam eter traveled at speeds from 80 to 100 m iles an hour.” "It was about 1000 feet in the air and was extrem ely bright,” Spaur radioed to the Portage county sheriff’s head­ quarters here. “I had never seen anything this bright before in m y life,” he told D eputy R obert W ilson via the radio. In Benton H arbor, M ich., a flying object described as so bright “you couldn’t look straight at it” was sighted early Sunday near the downtown sec­ tion of the city. Three rubbish collectors said they jaw the object hover over a m otel along the St. Joseph R iver. The head of the crew, Joseph Frbaklin, said it was about 15 stories ,in the air, had a steel-like shell and looked “som ething like a hot. dog” in shape. H e said it had a brilliant light so bright he couldn’t look directly at it. Franklin and his crew report­ ed the sighting to police who also viewed the object. The two deputies were joined in the chase at East Palestine, U ., just across the State line from Pennsylvania, by East Palestine Patrolm an W ayne H uston. H uston said the object appear­ ed larger than an airliner and t aveled in a straight line. H e said it would change altitude suddenly. “It was a funny thing,” H us­ ton said, “but when the object got too far ahead of us it ap­ peared to stop and wait.” W ilson said at one tim e Spaur reported the object, which had som ething like an antenna pro­ truding from the bottom , hover­ ed above the cruiser in which Spaur and N eff were riding. W ilson said that Spaur and N eff were questioned by an “A ir Force colonel” in Freedom . (A ir Force headquarters at G reater Pittsburgh A irport said it had no report on the U FO .) “The chase lasted about 50 m inutes and, in that tim e, the object was reported seen by at least six or seven other depart­ m ents, both in O hio and Penn­ sylvania,” W ilson said. N eff, a one-tim e Seabee, agreed with Spaur in the de­ scription of the object and add­ ed that it “had no wings.” W ilson said the object “was caught by radar” in Pittsburgh. H e said that at least seven jets from the Cleveland-area headed] for the object after it was re ported.

Duncan and several friends tried to pursue the object, “cone-shaped and silver looking,” in a car and ft appeared to haft near the Salisbury commu­ nity 5 miles south of M em­ phis.

Then how could he be sure they weren’t a hoax — practical - joking earthlings just putting him on? “O h, I wouldn’t believe just anyone who walked up to m e and said he was from M ars,” G reen replied. “But if you get a call from the W hite H ouse and were told President Eisen­ hower would m eet you at a certain tim e on the corner of H ollywood and Vine, and you went there, and a m an there who looked like the President called you by nam e, wouldn’t you be­ lieve he was Eisenhower?” G reen said he once asked a spaceling to prove him self by disappearing. “B UT H E R EFUSED and told m e to walk away,” G reen said. “H e was on a balcony five floors high, and I walked down a hallway for three or four sec­ ond and turned and looked back and he was gone. There was no logical place for him to go from that balcony. G reen believes the spacem en are un­ doubtedly friendly, just as they profess to be, or otherwise they could have destroyed the earth long ago. “They say they want nothing from us but our friendship,” he said. “They would never destroy us. This would be a violation of their code of life. They revere all living things.” A pparently they do have lapses, though. “There was one decision that if any nation on earth fires a nuclear war­ head, it will fall back on the people who fired it,” G reen said. “I don’t know what their latest decision has been.” H E EXPLA INED that he hasn’t been in contact with a spacem an for two or three years now. G reen said people from m any planets are visiting earth, and that accounts for the wide variety of flying Saucers being sighted. O ne of his favorites is the Venusian scout ship. That’s the one about 50 feet in diam eter with the three protruding sem i-spheres on the bottom and the portholes around the cabin. G reen said it is operational only within 5,000 to 10,000 m iles of a planet’s surface. H e said it com es down from a cigar-shaped m other ship that parks up there. The m other ship can m ake interplanetary trips. A t this point we decided to end the interview.

A lthough the original story said the craft resem bled a “huge bird,” later sightings described it as egg-shaped with lights at both ends. It should be borne in m ind that shapes of aircraft and esti­ m ates of airspeed were still sciences of the future when the following story, reproduced in part, was written. “That a huge airship has been hovering over O akland for the lagt few nights has in the m inds of m any been conclusive­ ly proven. A num ber of persons whose integrity is unquestiona­ ble have seen the strange navi­ gator of the air and this num ­ ber includes m any whose scepti­ cism has been pronounced. “Last evening at about 7:30 o’clock, the passengers on an A lam eda car were startled by the sight of a brilliant stream of light high in the heavens off in the direction of H ayward. “The passengers distinctly saw the outline of an airship and watched its m aneuvers high in the skies. The ship resem bles a huge bird in its outlines and seem ed to rise and fall in its course. A light stream ed from the head of the ship, throwing a white stream of light for sever­ al hundred yards. “A s the outlines of the airship were plainly discerned, the pas­ sengers in the street car be­ cam e greatly excited. “The phenom enon had first been noted by a m an who had been idly watching the heavens. A s soon as he perceived the light, he attracted the attention of the other passengers and all, intensely interested, watched the peculiar m achine as it m ade its way through the skies. “It was high in the heavens. It appeared to be of huge size. W hen first seen, it seem ed to be floating over San Leandro. It m oved rapidly, going at least 20 m iles an hour. It shot across the skies to the northwest, then it turned quickly and disap­ peared in the direction of H ay­ ward. • “N ot only was the airship seen by the passengers, but m any other residents of this city distinctly saw the brilliant light and the huge bird-like body floating in m id-air. "N one of the spectators were acquainted with each other and yet their stories are startlingly sim ilar, agreeing as to tim e, -di­ rection of th6 airship, and de­ scription.’' . „ ■ >. ; ^“These facts leave little doubt in the m inds of m any people that a successful airship, has been invented and is navigating the heaven#.-” 2— Nevada State Journal Tuesday, M ay 10 ,1966 * GALLU P POLL M ore Than 5 M illion People Say They Saw Flying Saucers By GEOR GE GAL L U P M ore than five m illion A nvri- cans claim to have seen sc;*e- thing they believed to be a "'/'- ing saucer.” A nd, about 10 tim es as m any people — or nearly half of the U .S. a. ult civilian population —' beliirve that these frequently reported flying objects, while not neces­ sarily "saucers,” are real and not just a figm ent of the im agi­ nation. These are the principal find­ ings in a nationwide G allup sur­ vey of the A m erican people on this subject, when survey per­ centages are translated into num bers of people.

H ow m cny people have seen them ? A re they real or im aginary? D o peo­ ple believe there is life, as we know it, on other planets? M ore than 150 G allup Poll In­ terviewers have been out ques­ tioning typical A m ericans—m en and wom en, people or all a?es In all educational levels and in every region of the nation. Tabu­ lation of their statem ents and views reveals the following: First, alm ost everyone (96 per cent) has at least heard or read som ething about flying saucers. For som ething so high­ ly publicized as these objects, this finding m ay, at first, not seem unusual. H owever, in term s of the history of the pub­ lic's awareness of other inci­ dents or events, this figur* is extraordinarily high. Id fict, this awareness score is one of the highest in the1 30-year his­ tory of the G allup Poll. A re flying saucers a hoax? Philip Easter of Baltim ore, M d., told one of our interviewers this story: "It was dark and I had jdst com e out of a building. I looked up and saw this object hovering in the dark sky above m e. It was very bright and stayed in about the sam e posi­ tion for several m inutes. A t first I thought it was a planet, but I knew it couldn’t be be­ cause of the way it m oved.’’ H arold Stoops tells of the tim e last June when he was driving through Topeka, Kansas: “It was very late — about 2:30 in the m orning. I saw this round-shaped object in the sky ahead of m e. It was extrem ely bright and I could notice a greenish hue. By the tim e I stopped the car and got out, it had disappeared." A N ew Jersey housewife startled during the night was Futher analysis of these data show that flying saucer sight­ ings are not necessarily a phe­ nom enon pf certain population groups. Sim ilar proportions of college educated persons, and those who have not gone beyond grade school claim to have seen them . R eal or Imaginary? A re flying saucers real or im aginary? W e asked this ques­ tion, with surprising results. A l­ though the A ir Force claim s that nearly all of the reported "saucer” sightings are easily explained, as m eteors, weather balloons, swam p gasses, planets, etc., m ore A m ericans think they are “real” than believe they are “im aginary." Forty-six per cent (or about half of the U ^. adult population) hold this opin­ ion, while 29 per cent describe them as “a figm ent of the im ag­ ination." The rest cannot m ake up their m inds. This represents quite a change in public attitudes toward the credibility of "flying saucers” since a G allup survey conduct- ed alm ost 20 years ago. A t that tim e—shortly after the flying saucers were first noted—four out of every ten called the sau­ cers either a hoax or the prod­ uct of som e overheated im agi­ nation. In 1950, another G allup survey showed that attitudes had begun to change. M ore per­ sons that year held the view that the saucers were a reality. In weighing what evidence there is about the credibility of flying saucers it is im portant to note that while m ost of the re­ ported sightings have been ex­ plained, according to A ir Force reports, there are still m any sightings without explanation. Persons with college training are m ore likely to believe in the reality of flying saucers than are persons with a ■ high school background, or less. A m ong those persons who be­ lieve flying saucers have an ex­ planation, (that is, those who think they are "real”), here is how they describe them : 1) Experimental projects, Air Force teets 2) Actual vehlolea from out­ er space 3) Burning gas, “swamp Oas” 4) M eteors, shooting stars S) W eather baloons 6) Supernatural revelations Those who believe they are from outer space account for 6 per cent. L ife on Other Planets? D q people who are living in the space age believe there is life, as we know It, on other planets? M any scientific authorities be­ lieve that intelligent life m ust exist elsewhere in the universe, because the statistical odds are large that there are m illions of planets in the universe enough like our own to support life, as we know it. O ne person in every three (34 per cent) who participated in this survey said they believe life does exist on other planets. A gain, persons with the m ost education are m ost inclined to believe in the existence of intel­ ligent life on other planets. H ILLSD A LE. M ich.

W ilcox is a young m an dogged by rum ors. People say his dairy farm has gone bust be­ cause nothing will grow on the land. O thers who m eet him on the street express surprise, say­ ing they’d heard he was in a N ew York City hospital suf­ fering from radiation burns. One story has ft his land Is under guard for govern­ ment study and that there is a darkened patch in his pas­ ture where nothing will grow. The handsom e, 28-year-old farm er says none of these tales is true. But the strangest of all, and the basis for the rum ors, is his encounter with a space ship and his talk with its eerie crew 17 m onths ago. That happened, M r. W ilcox says. “I know what I sav for two hours. I was talking with them and even joking with them .” M r. W ilcox touched the m etallic-like, egg-shaped craft and heard its strangely- garbed occupants explain in sm ooth English they were from M ars, he said. W hen he turned to get them a bag of fertilizer, as they requested, the ship lifted off the ground and was out of sight in sec­ onds, he recalled. In the weeks after he re­ ported the incident to the Tioga County Sheriff’s D e­ partm ent, curious people visited his farm by the dozen. They Included men who said they were from govern­ ment agencies and others who identified themselves as offi­ cials of the IBM Space Gui­ dance Center in nearby Owe­ go, the farmer said. M ost were just residents who wanted to see the landing spot for themselves. O ne m an who also claim ed G A R Y W ILC OX to be a saucer-seer told M r. W ilcox he had hitchhiked from M assachusetts to talk to him . O ther spaceship fans tele­ phoned him and urged him to join their organizations. But M r. W ilcox, who pro­ fesses be only wants to m ind his own business and m ake a living, steered clear of such affiliations/H e had the tele­ phone rem oved from h i s dairy barn because it was ringing so often he couldn't keep up with the chores, he said. If any responsible agency ever determ ined exactly what happened in that rem ote corn­ er of his farm last spring, he has yet to hear about it. M r. W ilcox did not seem particularly happy to see a reporter show up at his farm , one m orning last week. H e wasn’t rude, either. W hen the reporter arrived, the farm er was in a hayloft, pitching down feed for the noontim e snack of his 60 cows. “I only have so much time to get this work done, so I can’t stop,” he said. “This is the kind of work you should be doing," he joked. “Tak­ ing care of 60 cows and work­ ing at another job, too.” M r. W ilcox has an afternoon and evening job as janitor at Berkshire School. “I don’t know where all these stories ere com ing from now. I thought it was all over last year, but now everybody is talking again. “The best one is about m e being in a N ew York City hos­ pital with radiation burns. People have said they heard it on the radio. I’ve never been in a hospital in m y life. “Then som e wom an put in the newspaper that there was no grass growing where that thing landed. There was never m uch growing there. But there’s corn now. ' “N obody ever talked to m e about these things. They just keep telling stories.” In answer to a question, M r. W ilcox said his sighting of the m ysterious craft and its crew and the widespread spec­ ulation over the report has not hurt his personal life. “I just don't worry about it.

H undreds of persons in both states reported seeing the “bril­ liant and shiny” object early Sunday m orning. Police Chief G erald Buchert of M antua, about eight m iles north of R avenna, said he took a picture of the object from his front yard but the A ir Force told him not to release it Buchert said It looked lika "two table saucers put togeth­ er.” Portage County D eputy Sher­ iff D ale Spaur said he and his partner, W .L. N eff, “were close” to the object in separata cars and chased it 86 m iles for an hour and a half, from near R avenna to Conway, Pa., near Pittsburgh. Spaur said he clocked it at speeds up to 103 m iles per hour. From the ground Spaur said it looked like the head of a flash­ light, about 40 feet wide and 18 feet high. Spaur said the lines of the ob­ ject were very distinct. "Som e­ body had control over it,” he said. “It wasn’t just floating around. It can m aneuver.” “I think that what m akes the light on these things change colors is that they are rotating in a circular m otion.” Van H orn was called by girls at the dorm itory. The co-eds reported the object alternately glowed red,, white, blue andi I other colors. They said it rose up and down, appearing to stop its ascent and sink again just when it was about to m ove into the glow from a nearby airport beacon light. Its vertical and horizontal m ovem ents were too fast for any airplane, the girls said. The announcem ent that H ynek was being called in cam e from Selfridge, a base near D etroit which dodged newsm en’s in­ quiries M onday about the object seen in a swam p near A nn A rbor. H ynek’s role is scientific con­ sultant to the A ir Force’s “Proj­ ect Blue Book," the official label of the A ir Force program to track down reports of un­ identified flying objects. A uthorities and crowds of curious residents braved thun­ dershowers M onday night to com b the swam py area near A nn A rbor where the object was seen Sunday night. W ashtenaw County Sheriff D ouglas J. H arvey said deputies spent m ost of the night search­ ing and checking out reports from persons who thought they had spotted the object again. The investigation began when at least 12 policem en and 4 0 other persons said they watchil a weird flying object, guards by four sister ships, land m the swam p late Sunday night/ The sighting was only & m ost recent of several in S^- them M ichigan and other pafjs of the nation during the past few weeks. 5 । The eyewitness accounts j|f Sunday night’s incident include! a m an who said he and his san ran to within 500 yards of a m ysterious object which hol­ ered above the ground H up shot away at their approach.

M arvin M iller of 196 Pa­ cific St., Ventura, said today that she spotted the object at 8:55 p.m . W ednesday as she and her husband were returning from Los A ngeles. She said that she noticed it as they were driving through Thousand O aks. “It looked like an airplane in a dive at first,” M rs. M iller said, “but then I saw a glowing tail and sparks began to shoot off. This dispell­ ed m y idea about an airplane.” A t the sam e tim e, about 20 m iles to the north, a Fillm ore m an saw what appeared to be a plane. “It was in a dive," said A lvin Caples of 831 O live St., Fillm orft. If he had it to do over again, would he keep the in­ cident a secret? “N o. I’ve got nothing to hide. I would report it. If I saw another one today I'd do the sam e thing. Then people would say I’m crazy.” M r. W ilcox, who is un­ m arried and lives in the vil­ lage, feeds and cares for the stock in the m ornings. A m an whose fam ily lives in the hom estead of the 300-acre farm does the m ilking. M r. W ilcox also owns h farm near O wego where he grows feed crops, he said. H e gives the im pression that he would like to believe the whole episode was a joke of som e type, yet knows it wasn’t. H e said he thinks that eventually the explanation will be supplied, to him and the rest of th^ world. “A m an down in Berkshire says he saw som ething like this recently, too. I’m not the only one.” The two human-like crea­ tures whose features were hid­ den under uniforms and hoods, may not have been space travelers, he said. But he has no better ex­ planation.

This article deals with the current controversy over the existence or nonexistence of flying saucers or U nidentified Flying O bjects (U FO s), and quotes M ichigan’s Congressional R epresentative G ER A LD FO R D as suggesting that Congress look / into U FO s; also it announces that the A ir Force, which is 1 with investigating U FO s, has com m issioned the U niver- Coloiiado and Physics Professor ED W A R D b./Cl®D 0N to £ an in-depth study of flying saucers for7thS H SXf18 at an estim ated cost of $300,(JO O . The article also points out that since last sum m er j charged sity of conduct m onths. pressure has been m ounting for the establishm ent of an inde­ pendent, civilian controlled investigative agency to look into the U FO problem . A lso, for the Bureau’s inform ation, there was re­ cently published (first printing June 1966) a book entitled "Flying Saucers - Serious Business", Lyle Stuart, Inc., publishers, authored by Frank Edwards. Its third edition and is available in by Bantam Books, and it is probably a the current controversy. This book is now in paperback, published contributing factor to In this book author Edwards points out that flying saucers were observed in the spring of 1946, in Scandinavia and R ussia (which he points out is about a year from the date of the testing of the A lam ogordo, atom ic bom b), and the book 3,.- Bureau 1 - D enver Ends Encl. 1 - San Francisco D ET:1m s (5) EX-114 3 O CT 21 1966 SF 62-2927 D ET:1m s docum ents m any reports throughout the world of U FO s since that date, and claim s that 19^5 was the year of the greatest num ber of U FO sightings and that these were observed by m ultiple wit­ nesses. It is author Edwards’ contention that U FO s are space vehicles sent to observe activities on earth and the A ir Force, which is charged with the responsibility of investigating U FO s, has deliberately withheld inform ation and given m isleading explanations because it fears a m ass panic by the public if the public were told the truth. The book describes U FO s as polished m etal objects, radiating heat and light (sufficient to have burned witnesses who were too near), and em itting som e force field that inter­ feres with electrom agnetic instrum ents and power sources. Colors range from brilliant white to dull reds and brilliant orange. Som e objects have carried blinking lights. There are three basic shapes: 1) zeppelln-shaped ships up to 300 feet long; 2) disk-shaped objects ranging from a few feet in dia­ m eter to 100 feet, with m any reported at about 30 feet diam eter; and 3) egg-shaped objects, which according to the author are the ones m ost recently sighted. A ccording to the book, the objects m ove silently and attain fantastic speeds, yet can hover m otionless in m id-air; they have been reported to land and to take off with great speed, usually with a burst of light from the underside, which in som e cases has left the ground beneath them scorched. M any of the persons nam ed in the book who have re­ ported them are reliable individuals, including law enforce­ m ent officers, m ilitary personnel on official duty, m ilitary pilots, com m ercial airline pilots, civilian defense officials, etc. A num ber of photographs of the objects have been repro­ duced in the book, som e reportedly taken by reputable persons. M any reported sightings are from atom ic and m issile research areas. W reckage of crashed saucers has been reportedly re­ covered on at least three occasions, in one case described as a m agnesium alloy, in another as pure m agnesium , and in a third case, attributed to an official of the Canadian governm ent, the m aterial was described as an exceptionally hard unknown m etal, actually a m atrix of m agnesium orthosilicate which contained thousands of 15-m icron m etal spheres throughout, and showing evidence of m icro-m eteorites on its surface. - 2 - SF 62-2927 D ET': 1m s A few witnesses have reported seeing crewm en who ha\d landed from the objects, who are described as three and a half to four feet tall, wearing what appear to be space suits and helm ets.

A copy of this letter is being directed to D enver, in view of the contract awarded to D r. ED W A R D U . CO N D O N .

A nd > the reports had com e from all over. “Like Xeon Lam ps” A m ong the m ost intriguing item s in this year’s crop: a A t M ilan, M ichigan, 15 m iles sou til of A nn A rbor, bluish - yellow bars of light were spotted, looking “like neon lam ps dangling in the sky.” o In East D elhi, M ich., a 15-year-old boy called in to report seeing lights in the sky alternately standing still and m oving, som etim es flashing on and off. o In A ltadena and San M arino, Calif., police switch­ boards logged dozens of calls after a pair of red lights in the sky were reported by residents. o In Toledo, O hio, officials at the local airport received seven calls from persons who said they saw a glowing ob­ ject that was red, green and white. o In suburban-D etroit,, a m an saw a noiseless, wing­ less, cigar-shaped flying ob­ ject. e In Bryan, Texas, resi­ dents said they heard a star-like object purr. o O ver Valdese, N .C., a “glowing blue thing” explod- । ed, then lit up the town like a ' giant flashbulb. Som etim es the alleged . sightings spilled over into > the bizarre. A space ship full of little m en allegedly landed in a farm yard near H opkins- ; ville, Kentucky. The little ] m en glowed, and they were 1 described as “three feet tall, J with eyes like saucers and i hands like claws.” ' A grain buyer in N ebraska ' said he was invited into a ] space ship where he chatted • with four m en and two wom ­ en. They spoke only broken 'English — but fluent H igh G erm an which, as it hap­ pened, was the grain buyer’s native tongue. Silvery Cigar N or did A m erica have any ' corner on the U FO m arket. In N orthern Ireland, Tom H utchinson saw a saucer drop into a peat bog near Iris hom e in M oneym ore. It was eggshaped, three feet in di- DR. CON DON Saucer-watcher am eter, 18 inches high. It be­ gan to spin and H utchinson grabbed it. H e was carrying it to the police, who de­ scribed him as “level-headed and G od-fearing,” when the thing twisted out of his hands and got away. A nd in W arm inster, Eng­ land, a city council worker said he saw a silvery cigar shape drifting over the vil­ lage downs. A fter a tim e, he said, it seem ed to stretch. Then it seem ed to divide am idships with a flash of or­ ange light, although there was no noise. Flam ing O bject N ot all the sightings could be easily written off as the phantasm agoria o f kooks, cranks and dsninks. A nd, un­ less one subscribed to a theo­ ry of m ass hallucination, it was difficult to explain away sim ultaneous sightings con­ firm ed by m any rational wit­ nesses — such as the flam ing object that was seen last A pril by thousands of East Coast residents from W ash­ ington to Boston and even tem porarily disrupted a ball gam e between the Chicago W hite Sox and the W ash­ ington Senators in W ash­ ington, D . C. O r the incident in H ills­ dale, M ichigan last M arch, in which a Civil D efense D irec­ tor, an assistant dean, and 87 coeds reported that they had seen a glowing object zip past their college dorm itory and hover in a swam p for hours. W itnesses said they watched from the second floor of the H illsdale College girls dorm itory as the object wobbled, wavered, glowed eerily and once zipped right at a dorm itory window be­ fore stopping suddenly. A M eteor? The A ir Force, charged with investigating every one This W orld, Sunday, O ctober 16, 1966 S. F. Sunday Exam iner & Chronicle of the 11,000 sightings since 1947, did have som e ex­ planations. 'The m ysterious flam ing object in the East was “probably a m eteor.” A s for M ichigan’s m uch- publicized and plentiful unidentified flying objects, they turned out to be m onkeyshines instead of m oonships: “U nidentified college boys” playing pranks with flares to frighten the girls in the dorm itories, cam e the august report from a distinguished astronom er called in by the A ir Force to investigate the H illsdale af­ fair. Every report of a “flying saucer” had ostensibly been checked out by the A ir Force’s special squad known as “Project Blue Book,” al­ though the staff was woefully sm all. O f the 10.147 sightings since 1947, the A ir Force insisted that only 646 rem ain unexplained — and m ost of these because of insufficient inform ation. The others have been attributed to planes, balloons, astronom ical causes, m issiles, swam p gas, m eteors, fireworks and, in som e cases, to hallucinations and psychological reasons. Ball Lightning? Philip Klass, avionics edi­ tor of A viation W eek & Space Technology m agazine, recently proposed som e other explanations. Klass, an electronics engineer, said a form of “ball lightning,” gen­ erated by high tension power lines, could explain the phe­ nom ena. M any of the sightings, said Klass, occurred along or very near high-tension lines where lum inous balls of ionized air could be generated under certain conditions. ‘N o Threat’ The m ain conclusions reached by the A ir Force were: o “N o unidentified flying objects reported, investigat­ ed and evaluated by the A ir Force have ever given any in­ dication of a threat to our national security.” o “There has been no ev- TBehce subm itted to or discov­ ered by the A ir Force that sightings represent techno- logical developm ents or prin­ ciple s beyond tire range of present day scientific knowl­ edge.” © “There has been no evi­ dence that sightings catego­ rized as unidentified are ex- traterrestrial vehicles.” M ajor D onald Keyhoe, however, was unconvinced. M ajor Key hoe, U SM C (re­ tired), director of the N ation­ al Investigations Com m ittee on A e r i a 1 Phenom ena (N I- CA P), a private space watch­ ing organization, accused the A ir Force of conducting a long-term whitewash on the U FO question. It was K e y h o e’s theory that the A ir Force was with­ holding inform ation for fear of causing public panic. U FO s, insisted the M ajor, who had never seen one, were of extraterrestrial origin an.’, the A ir Force feared that the public could not accept this knowledge. “They won’t give you details,” he com plained. “If they did, m any of their explanations would fall flat.” A nd K e y h o e could also claim a powerful ally in M ichigan’s G erald Ford, the H ouse R epublican leader, who suggested it would be “a verj’ wholesom e thing” for Congress to look into uniden­ tified flying objects. Such an investigation. Ford suggest­ ed. would m ake the A m eri­ can people “feel better.” Study in D epth W hether or not that was so, the A ir Force last week took definite steps to m ake itself feel better. Fed up with in­ vestigating reports of glow­ ing, flying, zoom ing, wink­ ing, awesom e, blinking, streaking, hovering things, the A ir Force last week de­ cided to bail itself out of all responsibility for future con­ clusions concerning U FO s. The A ir Force announced that it had com m issioned the U niversity of Colorado to conduct an “in-depth” study of flying saucers for the next 18 m onths. The director of the study (expected to cost $300,000) would be D r. Ed­ ward U . Condon, form er di­ rector of the N ational Bureau of Standards, and now a physics professor at Colora­ do. . - To satisfy the skeptics, and insiu'e the study’s objectivi­ ty, Colorado would select several other universities to take part in the independent investigation, with about 100 scientists participating. A nd in case that wasn’t enough, the N ational A cade­ m y of Sciences also agreed to appoint a panel to review the Colorado report.

V., 6424 Great Bridge Road, Chesapeake, Virginia. He believes that he was taken into this craft which he recalls as being made of a glass like substance and being transparent. It was manned by several individuals who appeared to be undersized creatures similar to members of the human race, probably not more than 4 feet tall. They were allegedly wearing regular trouser pants and T-Shirts. Collins believes that he was transported by this craft for an undetermined distance and returned to his point of take-off approximately one hour later. Collins spoke in a coherent manner although he appeared to be under certain emotional strain. He claimed he had not been drinking any intoxicants but he was unable to account for the time between 8:00 p.m. and 4:00 a.m..

M ay we , with re spe ct, ask you to cast your m ind back 8 ye ars. In M ay of 19 59 , You r M ajesty was pleased to re qu e st the prese nce of M r. Ge orge Ad am ski, of California, at Soe std ijk Palace . M r. Ad am ski was at that tim e on a world le ctu re-tou r. This ge ntlem an had an u nu su al story to te ll. He spoke of visitations to this plane t by hum an be ings from ou ter space . He spoke of kind hum an be ings who had trave lle d in the ir space ships, ofte n calle d "flying sau ce rs”, from the ir hom e plane ts in our solar syste m , from Ve nu s, from Satu rn, M ars and othe rs. Their u nd erstand ing was far ahe ad of ou r own, their since re inte rest in our we lfare was part of a philosophy of brothe rhood and love for all of the Cre ator’s Works. This was Ge orge Ad am ski’s story. In 19 59 , the su bject of flying sau ce rs was consid ­ e red by the m ajority to be lau ghable . Any atte m pt to d iscu ss the possibility of be ings te chnologically su pe rior to u s, visiting Earth in space craft trave lling at fantastic spe e d s, was to d ism iss all the scientific conce pts of the d ay. Ind e e d , in 19 59 , scie ntists we re only be ginning to acce pt the rem ote possibility of ’’som e form ” of life, - and a one -ce ll life , at that, - e xisting anywhere at all ou tsid e of Earth. And any su gge stion that inte lligent be ings e xisted who had progresse d past the stages of wars and pove rty and racial intole rance , was to spe ak of He ave n itse lf. N ow, in 19 67 , m any things have change d . The m ajority still lau ghs, ye s. Bu t one se e s in the e ve r­ e xpand ing m inority a le vel of rad ical bu t intellige nt thought which wou ld have be e n brand e d a "he re sy” against the whole Establishm e nt ju st a fe w ye ars ago. With ou r own gre atly-incre ase d space activity and the ne ar-proxim ity of an Earthm an’s land ing on the M oon, id e as have had to change along with the im m e nse change s in the m e ans of trave l. What m od ern scie nce has ye t to d iscove r, how­ e ve r, is an antid ote to the e norm ou sly swolle n e go of "Earth-m an” which has gained nothing from the d iscove rie s of Galile o other than a list of change d astronom ical d ata and som e ve ry basic facts con­ ce rning the solar syste m in which we live . What the y have not ye t le arned from the "he re­ tical" re ve lations of Galile o is that scie ntific "fact” of tod ay is not ne ce ssarily scie ntific "fact” of to­ m orrow; that they, too, these m od e rn scie ntists, m ay be calle d u pon - and pe rhaps ve ry soon - to change all pre viou s concepts of astronom ical physics and to acce pt that Earth-m an is not, afte r all, alone in the U niverse . One of the pionee rs in this school of thought was Ge orge Ad am ski. Since his passing, in April 19 65, othe rs have com e forward to carry on his work. M ad am , on se ve ral occasions in the ye ars since 19 59 , M r. Ad am ski was give n the opportu nity of phot­ ographing som e of the se space craft on m ovie -film . The se film s have be e n shown wid ely in the U nited State s and in ce rtain cou ntrie s in Europe . The y have be e n vie wed by pe rsons in au thority, includ ing e x­ pe rts in m any field s, as we ll as by m illions of the ge ne ral pu blic by way of te le vision. The e xtrate rre strial hu m an be ings of whom M r. Ad am ski spoke are still operating in the sam e patt­ e rn. Se ve ral of his helpers have be e n privile ge d to m e et these pe ople . N e w colour m ovie s have be en take n of the ir ships, on occasion with the d e libe rate connivance of the pilots of the craft conce rne d . An Am e rican lad y, M rs. M ad ele ine Rod effe r, and two Ge rm anborn, natu ralise d Am e ricans, M r. and M rs. Fre d Ste ckling, have be e n privile ge d not only to m ee t the se frie nd s from other plane ts bu t the y have also be e n e nable d to photograph the m ovem e nt of the ir craft on colou r-film . All of the se film s have be e n vie we d by pe rsons in au thority, includ ing photographic e xpe rts of the U .S. N ational Aeronautics and Space Age ncy, (N ASA), and the y have ye t to be fau lte d . M ad am , the reason for ou r approach in this Ope n Le tte r is this. Having he ard from M r. Ad am ski first­ hand of his e xpe rie nce s, wou ld You r M aje sty care once m ore to he ar of the visitations of the Brothers and Siste rs who be frie nd e d him ? The y have m ad e them selve s known to othe rs; the re are cou rage ou s m e ssage s to truste d U FO worke rs on Earth, and for other spe cific pu rposes.

Johnson m ad e his d iscove rie s by observing the spe ctral line s of light absorption of inte rste llar d u st. He fou nd that the d ust absorbe d light at a ce rtain range of wave le ngth. Id e ntifying an e lem ent or com pou nd by spe ctral inform ation is sim ilar to id e ntifying a hum an by his finge rprints. It has be en known that star-light contains m any colors. Scie ntists also know that m ole cu les or atom s in the path of star-light are capable of absorbing a part of it. This m eans that ind ivid u al m ole cu le s can be id e nt­ ifie d positive ly by the particu lar spe ctral portion of the light the y absorb on a one -to-one basis. IN M IL LIONS.

A ne at-looking cou ple with a boy of about se ve n spoke to one of the cle rks at the inqu irie s d e sk. The y tu rne d and faced u s as the m an pointe d our way. Fre d was about 5 fe et 10, Ingrid abou t 5-7 . Gle nn was looking arou nd him at the high roof of the foye r.

The y had live d in Ca­ nad a for som e tim e prior to the ir arrival in the States. Only little Gle nn’s voice was totally Am eri­ can. So this was Fred Steckling, the you ng m an who had not wishe d to ’’take ove r”, as Ge orge Ad am ski had hope d d u ring the last fe w d ays of his illne ss in Washington. D.C. As Fred said , no-one cou ld take G.A.’s place . So it was le ft at that. And Ge orge had d ied , not knowing. Or did he know, that wise old m an? M ad e leine and Fre d and Ingrid had ju st gone on working as be fore , only m u ch hard er. Te lling G.A.’s story, showing his film s, bothe ring the officials on Capitol Hill. And now the y had M ad ele ine Rod e ffe r’s film to show as we ll, the am azing close -up shots of the scou t-craft hove ring ove r her "front yard”, which was in re ality, the long sloping, grassy bank running from her house d own to the road . At the m ost, a hu nd re d fe e t in the air, le vel with the tall tree -tops. M ad e leine and Ingrid had faced a chilly rece ption com m itte e at the private Se nate he aring of Janu ary 19 65, a couple of m onths be fore Ge orge d ie d ; and at the e nd of the showing of Ge orge 's film se que n­ ce s and a 45-m inu te ve rbal barrage from som e sarc- 116 ufo contact ufo contact 137 astic se nators, M ad e le ine , who had worke d in a Gov­ e rnm ent office for m any ye ars, ju st stood u p and told the m that she would n’t like to be in THEIR shoe s when pe ople fou nd ou t what was be ing ke pt from them . Did the y think the pu blic was blind ? M any had se e n the planes chasing the sauce rs. Even child ren. And M ad e leine had com e ou t of the com m itte e­ room se e thing with ange r. A fe w we e ks afte rward s she had film e d a scou t-ship ove r her own "front yard”. Fre d loose ne d u p a little as we spe d along the road Brusse ls-Antwe rp. Patrick, who stud ie d at Bru sse ls U nive rsity, and who him self le cture d on flying sau cers, was a good d rive r, bu t fast! "M ad ele ine was at the airport as we le ft Washing­ ton. Oh, and Lind a, her frie nd , was with he r. You know, that you ng wom an who had som e sightings. She’s written to you , I think. A nice girl.

Pe rhaps Fre d cou ld not qu ite shake off this fe e ling of having to convince som eone all the tim e . "Ronald ,” he said , afte r a rather long, som e what tired sile nce . They'd be e n trave lling for m any, m any hou rs. "Ronald , d o you know, it’s ju st as if the y have ou r fre qu e ncie s. I had a birthd ay a while back —” Ingrid was about to bu rst in with wife-like e nthu siasm bu t Fre d ’s voice stoppe d he r. "I had a birthd ay a while back,” Fred we nt on. "Ingrid and I we re wat­ ching T.V. I d on’t re m e m be r the show.

Doot-d i­ d i-d oot-d oot. Ingrid and I ju st looke d at e ach othe r - and the n we both DASHED ou t onto the porch.” Patrick swerved am ong the traffic on a bu m py patch of road . "The re ove r the house was the sau ce r. It ju st swaye d the re , back and forward . The n it se e m e d to swing d own low as the light showe d from the porch and the n shot off ove r in the d ire ction of Washing­ ton Airport.” Ingrid cou ld n’t hold he rse lf any longe r. "And d o you know, Ronald !” she bu rst in, "M ad e le ine had the sam e thing happe n on he r birthd ay!

And the re was this re d , glowing light swaying ove r the house !” Fre d sm ile d knowingly. "You can be t, the y've got ou r wave -le ngths!” he said . As we looke d ou t at M ay's long lily-pond in the spaciou s lawn, the big, le afy tre e s alm ost ove rhang­ ing the house and splashing the grou nd with shad ow, Fred gave a little lau gh to him se lf and glanced u p at m e . He was so ofte n se rious, e spe cially when he talked to the pe ople who gathe re d at M ay’s hou se, gu e sts, reporte rs e tc, - it was nice to se e him with a, som e what twiste d , grin. The re we re no gim m icks with Fre d . ”l saw a sau cer close ove rhe ad som e while ago. - The re are a LOT of the m arou nd that are a - I had m y cam era with m e , this cam era - and I ran off som e film and I fe lt so gosh-d arned ple ase d with m yself! D'you know som ething? I le ft the d u st-cap on!” He told m e of his talks with the Brothe rs. "D'you know, Ronald , whe n you’re with them , you d on't ASK qu estions. You d on’t think of it. You ju st liste n. It's as if you are not m e ant to ask of things m aybe the y d on't want you to know.” Fre d bit his lip thou ghfu lly. "One of them I can se e se ve ral tim e s a we e k. I know whe re he 's working. I can te ll you what sort of work he d oes, bu t not where .” Fred told m e . "It’s only once in a while we have a chance to talk. M aybe ove r a cu p of coffee som e place .” He pau se d , the n we nt on. "This one’s from Venu s.” Fre d 's trip ove r had be e n d e laye d . Hans and I had had to change ou r bookings. Fre d had told m e on the trip u p from the airport how som e one , - he d id n’t know who - had contacte d the bank whe re Fre d had arrange d cred it for the trip. ”l have to d o it on the instalm e nts,” he said . ”A cook d oe sn’t e arn all that m uch m one y.” Fred works at an hotel in Virginia, ne ar where he live s. The strange thing was that Fred had pre viou sly had cred it arrange m e nts with the sam e bank, and had had no bother. M aybe som eone had trie d to stop his trip to Europe . It had take n se ve ral d ays to cle ar u p the m atte r.

Whe the r Fred was helped with m one y at the Ge r­ m an or Au strian le ctu re s, I d on’t know. I know he re ceive d nothing in Antwe rp and De n Haag, e xce pt hospitality from good friend s.

U FO -reports Soviet radar spots U FO s M OSCOW - (AP) - A Sovie t scie ntist says the re m ay really be su ch things as flying sauce rs from ou te r space. Sovie t rad ar scre ens have d e te cted u nid e ntifie d flying obje cts (U FOs) for 2 0 ye ars, he says. Bu t Sovie t scie ntists, like the ir colle ague s in the We st, are still pu zzle d abou t what su ch U FOs really The scie ntist, id e ntifie d only as F. Zige l, was writ­ ing in the cu rre nt issue of the illu strate d Sovie t you th m agazine Om e na. He offered five possible e xplanations for U FOs, inclu d ing visitors from ou te r space . He calle d this alte rnative ’’e xtre m e ly spe culative .” ’’Bu t,” he ad d ed , ”as the U FO proble m has not ye t be e n solve d , d iffe re nt e xplanations, inclu d ing e xtre m e s, are possible .” The article took the lid off a su bject rare ly d isc­ u sse d in the press he re . In the 19 50s the Sovie t pre ss scoffe d at Am e rican reports of flying sau ce rs as ju st so m u ch cold war propagand a. By those Sovie t accou nts, the Am e ricans trie d to e xplain away the ’’sau ce rs” as som e sort of ne w, se cret Sovie t we apon. Re ports of flying sau ce rs sighte d in the Sovie t U nion, in the Cau casu s and in Ce ntral Asia, also we re rid icu led he re . The n for se ve ral ye ars the Sovie t pre ss re m aine d silent on the whole qu e stion; the Cm e na article show­ e d that the U FO issu e is be ing reope ne d , this tim e as an object of se riou s scie ntific stu d y. Zige l was id e ntifie d as one of the e d itors of a book, ’’Inhabite d Cosm os,” be ing pre pare d for pu bli­ cation he re. The book will d iscuss the possibility of living be ings in space and e fforts to com m unicate with them . The chie f e d itor of the book is B. P. Konstantinov, who, as a vice pre sid e nt of the Sovie t Acad em y of Scie nce , is one of this cou ntry’s m ost respe cte d scie ntists. In his m agazine article , Zige l said the ’’Ange l Echo,” a U FO d e te cte d by rad ar, is constantly obs­ e rve d by scie ntists at the Ce ntral Ae rological Obs­ e rvatory ne ar M oscow. Sim ilar observations, he said , have be e n m ad e in the U nited State s, Australia, Ind ia and Japan. ’’The phe nom ena of the U FO tod ay shou ld be con­ sid e re d as global,” he ad d e d . He re je cte d the id ea that bird s, inse cts or plant se e d s cou ld cau se su ch re actions on rad ar scre e ns. Zige l said the re cou ld be no d ou bt that U FOs e xist ’’bu t the natu re of the se objects is still not u nd e rstand able tod ay.” The n he liste d the se five possible e xplanations: 1. N ON SEN SE or inve ntion. He said the re was som e u ntruth he re , citing reports of pe ople who claim e d to have rid d e n in flying sauce rs and othe rs who thre w hats in the air and the n photographe d ’’sau ce rs”. Bu t he re je cte d this alte rnative as killing the qu estion rather than solving it. 2 . AN OPTICAL illu sion re late d to the d istribu tion of light in the e arth’s atm osphe re , su ch as a rain­ bow. The U FO, he said , is m ore com plicate d than that, howe ve r. 3 .

In this conte xt, ionized particle s and charge d particle s of d u st in the atm osphe re we re give n as a possible e xplanation. But Zige l said , this d oe s not e xplain the color or m ane u ve rability of U FOs or the ir appearance in good we ather. 5. SPACESHIPS from an ad vance d civilization on anothe r plane t. Zigel said the spe ed of U FOs su pp­ orts this the ory. So d oe s what he calle d ’’the fact” that no U FOs we re e ve r re liably re porte d to have land e d .

And only M ankind is e qu ippe d with a sou l which e nables it to m aste r the proble m s cause d by the se conflicts. Tod ay, thou sand s of scientists are at work on the m ost m om e ntou s task M ankind has e ve r face d : an atte m pt to u nd erstand a physical U niverse which is u ne nd ing in tim e and space , com plicate d in its d etail and im pre ssive in its ord e rline ss, and to u nd e rstand its origin and how it fu nctions. It is no longe r a su fficient e xplanation of the aim s of scie nce to say that it se eks to find the physical laws which gove rn the U niverse and incre ase s M an­ kind 's control ove r it, be cau se scie nce 's fie ld of e nd e avou r has incre ase d in size . The basic e lem e nts of scie nce are colle ctive e xpe rie nces, obse rvations and the se tting of ce rtain goals at which to aim . From the se the scie ntist trie s to m ake a m od e l of tim e, proportions and cause . Whe n one gains ne w knowle d ge the old m od e l is not re jected , it is ju st alte re d whe re the ne w knowle d ge points to an alter­ ation. By re ason of the fact that the scie ntist is willing to alter his m od el of the U nive rse , he shows that he d oe s not d e m and to know the final truth. His scientific laws are at m ost only re-writings of the obse rvations he has m ad e . The laws of science d o not control the reality bu t atte m pts only to e xplain it. Therefore the laws can be alte re d when one attains new knowled ge . NEW AIM S. The tasks which science se ts itse lf are ne ve r-e nd ­ ing. For tru th is no static concept. For e ve ry ne w answe r arrive d at, a d ozen ne w conce pts com e into vie w. Scie nce stand s be fore new frontie rs in m any field s of e nd e avour: the nu cleu s of the atom be com e s m ore and m ore e nigm atic - the origin and com position of the U nive rse is still shrou d e d in m yste ry - the inne r fu nctions of living organism s still allow of no e x­ planation. Science 's Gold e n Age lie s ahe ad of u s. The scie ntist works in an atm osphe re where d ou bt is an acce pted fact of life and e xagge rate d ortho­ d oxy taboo. Thom as Hu xle y says of the scie ntist: "For him sce pticism is a first d u ty and blind faith an u nforgivable sin”. A re su lt of scie ntific progre ss is that trad itions, which are the bu ttresse s of faith, have be e n swe pt asid e . The scie nce s and religion have therefore ofte n collid e d . And ye t it is one of the trage d ie s of our tim e that scie nce and religion have be com e ad ve rsarie s. Be cau se to achie ve a sol­ u tion of the conflict it has be e n te m pting to ad opt a policy of pe ace fu l co-e xiste nce , to d ivid e our e x­ pe rie nce s into two d iffe re nt are as, to give science control ove r the one and religion control ove r the other. Le t scie nce e xplore the physical world , whilst religion take s care of the othe r, pe ople say. Whe n science has re ache d its lim its, then re ligion can take ove r and e xplain that which allows of no e xplanation. This is a fate fu l ste p to take. To se parate the two world s cou ld only be d one if scie ntists we re not Christians and no Christians we re scie ntists. Bu t scie nce and re ligion d o not re ign ove r two se parate kingd om s. INVISIBL E. It is not possible to bu ild a wall betwe en re ligion and scie nce . Grad u ally, as scie nce is e nable d to e x­ plain som e of the m yste rie s of the U nive rse it com e s into are as which we re pre viously u nknown or only acce pted on a basis of faith. Eve ry new e xpe rie nce - physical or spiritu al - m ust fit into a patte rn which gives both faith and m ean­ ing. It is M ankind that e xplore s the U niverse , e xpe r­ im ents, and se e ks for the truth. It is not ju st a d etail, it take s part itself in the proce ss of cre ation. M an­ kind itse lf is the greate st re su lt of the Cre ation. The fact that m ore and m ore of the wond e rs of Creation are be ing d isclose d is of d ire ct conce rn to M ankind . Science and re ligion can be com pare d with two wind ows in a hou se , throu gh which we can obse rve the world arou nd u s or ou r ne ighbours. (The re are othe r wind ows to be fou nd in the hou se : Art, Lite ­ ratu re and History). Whateve r we m ay se e throu gh the wind ows of this im aginary hou se , it m u st fit in with the m od e l we have of the U nive rse and our place in it. Where it d oe s not fit, we m u st alter the m od e l, alter ou r aim and try to incre ase ou r ability to u nd e r­ stand the Cre ation. In ou r m od e rn socie ty it wou ld appe ar that m any pe ople think that the ad vance s m ad e by science have cau se d su ch things as religiou s be lie f to be ­ com e ou t-of-place and old -fashione d . The y cannot u nd e rstand why we shou ld "be lie ve” in som e thing, when science can te ll u s that we "know" so m u ch. The sim ple answe r to this asse rtion is that we are aware of m ore of natu re’s m yste rie s tod ay than pe ople we re be fore the ad ve nt of scie ntific re se arch. The re is absolu tely no re ason to be lieve that God cannot re tain His place in ou r m od e rn tim e s in the sam e way as be fore we be gan to e xam ine His Cre a­ tion with te le scope and ion-acce lerators. Even thou gh scie nce is no re ligion, it is, by nature of its assu m ptions, its application and its se arch for the tru th, a re ligiou s fu nction. The Cre ator re ve als Him se lf throu gh His Creations. As Charle s A. Cou l­ son says: "Scie nce he lps u s to cre ate a picture of God ".

It gives pe ace of m ind to think of God as the Father of all, and the resu ltant thou ght, that all m e n are brothe rs, is an e thical gu id e -line . Scie ntists only know that in nature nothing is d es­ troye d withou t be ing conve rte d into e nergy. N ot e ve n the tinie st particle can d isappear withou t le aving a trace .

Whe n the Qu e e n re m ind e d m e of the tim e , I arose and we all shook hand s in a ve ry frie nd ly m anne r. I was d e e ply im pre sse d with the firm since re grasp of He r M aje sty and the Prince . The spoke sm an for the Prince e scorte d m e to the car. Du ring the con­ fe rence he had stated he wou ld like to take a trip * with the space people and he re peated the re qu e st as we d e sce nd e d the ste ps to the waiting car. As we were le aving the Palace grou nd s, I notice d a large grou p of pe ople stand ing across the high- / way and facing the Palace . As the car cam e throu gh the gate, m any of these pe ople gave the fam iliar salute . Possibly the y only wanted to ge t a look at the com m on m an who had be e n grante d a private inte rvie w with the Qu ee n, and whom the pre ss had d e scribed as an "obje ctionable” visitor. On the fast trip back to the hote l, I notice d crowd s of pe ople along the highway, salu ting as we passe d . Arriving at the hote l, we fou nd a car waiting to take m e to the le cture at The Hagu e . The Qu e en’s chau ffe u r aske d if he m ight atte nd the le ctu re and was grante d pe rm ission to d o so. Du e to the long inte rvie w at the Palace , I arrive d twenty m inu te s late at the le cture hall where a cap­ acity crowd was waiting. The pe ople pre se nt we re fille d with cu riosity and anticipation in re gard to m y m e e ting with Qu e e n Ju liana. Re porte rs e spe cially we re insiste nt that I give the m all the d e tails. This I cou ld not d o, for the m e e ting had be e n on a le ve l of d ignity that d enied m e the privile ge of spe aking u ntil the Qu e e n spoke first. All I cou ld say was: "The Qu e e n was ve ry kind , and if there we re m ore pe ople like he r the world wou ld be a be tter place to live in.” A tre m e nd ou s bu rst of applau se took place , and from the re on the le cture proce e d e d as norm al. After the le ctu re , the re porte rs crowd e d arou nd m e asking, ’’What d id the Qu e e n say?” ”lt is the Qu ee n’s honor to spe ak first,” I re plie d . This m ad e the pre ss ve ry d issatisfie d with m e . Som e we nt so far as to write u p a fictitiou s interview, com ple te with qu e stions and answe rs. Whe n I re tu rned to m y hote l I was gratefu l that no one knew where I was, for now I cou ld relax and go ove r the e vents of the d ay. A rad io was in m y room , and the ne xt m orning I tu ne d it to the BBC since I cou ld not u nd e rstand the Du tch of local stations. On an e arly-m orning program calle d The N e ws of Eu rope , I was ve ry m u ch su rprise d to he ar a report from a Ru ssian sci­ e ntist stating that the m oon was not com pose d of volcanic d u st, bu t rathe r of granite form ations sim ­ ilar to Earth. M any gre en spots that looke d like ve ge tation had be e n obse rve d on the othe r sid e of the m oon. This confirm e d som e of the things I had told the Que en d u ring ou r two-hou r confe re nce . I was cu riou s to know ju st how the Ru ssians had gained this inform ation. M y frie nd s and I d iscu sse d the possibilities late r that m orning. Was it possible that a Ru ssian had m ad e a trip as I had , or d id the y rece ive the inform ation from the ir m oon shot that we nt into orbit arou nd the su n? (Inform ation re ce ive d at the tim e of this writing se em s to confirm that the y d id .) Before the m orning was ove r I was aske d if I wou ld acce pt an inte rview with Fox M ovie tone in d owntown Hagu e. I wou ld be calle d for and taken to the appointe d place so I agree d . The se le cte d place was a large hote l in the ce ntre of town. Our car was parked across the stre e t from the bu ild ing. I was told to walk across the stre e t and e nte r the hote l. Cam era we re re ad y and se t for ope ­ ration, bu t I had to rehe arse the walk se ve ral tim e s be fore pictu res we re finally taken. In the final take , the large glass d oors, fram e d in brass, ope ne d au to­ m atically and I e nte re d the hote l. I was gree te d by m any pe ople , includ ing the m an­ age r of the hote l, and re ce ive d the cu stom ary salute . This was not photographed . I was taken to a large room where cam e ras and sou nd e qu ipm e nt we re in place . He re I was se ate d be sid e a sm all m ahogany table which he ld a bou qu e t of Am e rican Beau ty rose s. M y inte rrogator was se ated on m y right. His first qu e stion was: ’’The world wants to know what the Qu e e n had to say.” M y answe r was that He r M aje sty and His Royal Highne ss we re d e e ply inte re ste d in the fu ture of ou ter space d e velopm e nt. The inte rrogator was ve ry d issatisfie d with m y re ply and trie d to ge t m e to re late ou r conve rsation in som e d e tail. Whe n I ref­ u se d , he hu rrie d throu gh the othe r qu e stions, and the ne ws confe rence was ove r. I was told this newsree l wou ld be shown all over the world , bu t I have no reports of it e ve r having be e n shown. It is inte resting to note that, after m y visit to the Palace , whe re ve r I we nt in Holland I re ceive d the salu te from those who re cognise d m e . Pe rhaps this is a cu stom ary honor paid to one who has be e n re ceive d by the Qu ee n. On Frid ay M ay 2 2 nd , I re ce ive d an invitation from the m anage r of the City The atre in d owntown Am ­ ste rd am , to atte nd the pre view of an Italian film , De ath Com es From Ou ter Space . The d e ath that cam e from ou ter space was a gig­ antic aste roid trave lling at te rrific spe ed d irectly toward the e arth. This asteroid was form e d from all the d e bris blown into space by ou r atom ic and hyd ­ rogen e xplosions. The pe ople of the Earth we re in a panic, for the y we re warned that at any m om e nt it cou ld hit ou r plane t and cau se com ple te d e stru ction.

In this way the aste roid was d e stroye d by the sam e we apons that had cau se d its creation. Re prese ntatives of the pre ss we re pre se nt at the showing. Afte r it was ove r, I was aske d if su ch a thing cou ld happe n in re al life . I re plied that it cou ld and gave the following e xplanation: "The lightning bolt is create d from invisible par­ ticle s of m atter that are fu sed toge the r by the te rr­ ific he at of a natural e le ctrical d ischarge. It is e ntirely possible for the m illions of tons of d e bris that have be e n blown into the u ppe r re gions of the e arth’s atm osphe re to com e togethe r and form an artificial asteroid . The large r the m ass of d e bris, the m ore attraction it wou ld have for ad d itional particle s.” This picture ale rte d m e to the possibility that rad ­ iation and fallout are not the only d ange rs we m ight be facing from ou r atom ic e xplosions.

De chany fre scoe s actu ally d e pict ange ls flying in spaceships like the prese nt spu tniks. Two ships are shown flying one afte r the othe r from we st to e ast. Sitting in the le ad ship is a m an withou t an ange l’s halo. He hold s an u nse e n ’’control colu m n” and looks behind him as if watching the flight of his fe llow-spacem an. Sitting in the space­ ship following is anothe r m an, who also has nothing in com m on with the trad itional angel and also has one hand on the ’’controls”. Both ships have stream lined bod ie s. Cle arly visible je ts in the ir wake acce ntu ate the im pre ssion of spe e d . "The saints in the flying m achine s are in the position of pilots”, says the m agazine . Angels watching the flight cove r the ir e ye s and e ars with the ir hand s and se e m to be backing away for fe ar of be ing blind e d of d e afe ne d . Be low, two grou ps are pictured , e ve ry face portraying su rprise , fe ar, or pe rplexity. The ce ntral figure re pre se nts the crucifie d Christ. The fresco d epicting the Re surre ction of Christ looks ju st as od d . The M e ssiah looks as if he is in a rocke t which has not ye t be gu n to m ove , e xplains the Yugoslav m agazine. Ind e ed , the ve hicle looks ve ry m u ch like a space rocke t, with a two-wing stab­ ilize r in its u ppe r part. With his right hand Christ is trying to lift aboard the ship one of the pe ople stand ing on the grou nd be fore starting on his way to the he ave nly kingd om . M onks at De chany, to whom e xpe rts tu rne d for an e xplanation, re plie d that appare ntly the d rawings of ’’ships” are pictu re s of the Su n and the M oon. Accord ing to N e w Te stam e nt le ge nd , Christ was cru cifie d d u ring a solar e clipse . But why the ”su n” is d e picte d rising in the we st the m onks cou ld not say. One of the pape rs on the De chany m iracle re fe rs to a hypothe sis saying that Christ was a m an who cam e d own to Earth from space . The m agazine com m ents that su ch id e as are ’’ove rbold”, that the hypothesis, if confirm e d , ’’wou ld basically alte r the Biblical story about Christ”. The frescoe s, it is noted , showing obje cts obviou sly re se m bling spu tniks, ’’baff­ le laym an and spe cialist alike .” The De chany ’’M iracle” is not u nique . An icon in the Church Archae ology Stud y of the M oscow The o­ logical Acad e m y, calle d The Re su rrection of Je su s * Christ and d ating back to the 17 th ce ntu ry, shows Christ in a stream lined containe r which vagu ely re se m ble s a space ship stand ing on the ground . Sm oke billows from both sid es of the containe r’s 1 lowe r part, e nve loping the le gs of the ange ls who watch from the sid e line s. Ju st as on the De chany fresco, Christ’s right hand lifts a m an (the chu rch ve rsion id e ntifie s him with Ad am ). Eve waits for he r tu rn on the othe r sid e . The icon is su rely of an apocryphal natu re . The re m ay have be e n a written ve rsion pre se nting a non- canonical vie w of Christ’s re su rre ction and asce ns­ ion, bu t if there is, nothing is known abou t it.

Howe ve r, in this issu e of U FO CON TACT, you can re ad an accou nt of re ce nt Sovie t m ove s re gard ing the U FO-case . (Se e "Soviet Rad ar Spots U FO”.) He re , be low, we bring you a Ru ssian writer's acc­ ount of his re se arch into the proble m s and m yste rie s of e xtrate rre strial visitations. Cond e nse d from the book "N a Su she i na m ore " - "On Land and at Se a” - we can se e how the write r has followe d m any of the sam e thre ad s of Biblical and pre - History as have a num be r of his We ste rn conte m porarie s.

He has writte n two books, "Cosm ic Re m inisce nce s in Writte n Re lics of the Past”, and "The Evolu tion of the U niv­ e rse and Inte lligent Beings.” With acknowle d ge m e nts to the "SPU TN IK” m onth­ ly d igest, Jan. 19 67 , we pre se nt the article in two parts. He re is Part One , of - V isitors from outer space by Vyacheslav Zaitse v. Expand ing knowled ge about the U nive rse u su ally m e ans m ore pu zzle s than d iscove ries. As m an u n­ rave ls e ach ne w m yste ry, he is assailed by fre sh d oubts and torm e nts, for he has cau ght a glim pse of another m yste ry lying ahe ad . For the e xplore r - in any fie ld - it is probably this ye t u nd iscovered te rritory vagu e ly se e n in the d istance that sparks the se arch for knowle d ge. A report by a Chinese archae ologist startled the world when it was pu blishe d in 19 65, for he had ou t of old bits of knowle d ge pie ce d toge the r an am azing the ory of space -ships on a visit to the e arth 12 ,000 ye ars ago. The Ge rm an m agazine , "Das Ve ge tarische U nive rsu m ”, wrote of his rese arch: "For a qu arte r of a ce ntu ry archae ologists e xplor­ ing cave s in the Bayan-Kara-U la M ou ntains, on the bord e r of China and Tibe t, have be e n find ing old - looking stone d iscs cove red with u nre ad able patte rns and hieroglyphs. A total of 7 16 su ch d iscs have be en d iscove re d , apparently d ating back se ve ral thou s­ and ye ars. "Like a gram ophone record , e ach d isc has a hole in its ce ntre from which a d ouble groove spirals its way to the circu m fere nce . The groove s are not sou nd -tracks, bu t the od d e st writing in China and ind e ed the rest of the world .” Archae ologists and d eciphe rers of ancie nt writing racked the ir brains trying to solve the se cret of the spirals. The re su lt of the rese arch by the Chine se archae ologist was so shatte ring that the Pe king Aca­ d e m y of Pre-History banne d publication of his work. Eve ntu ally pe rm ission was obtaine d and the prof­ e ssor and his fou r colleagu es pu blishe d their coll­ e ctive e ffort u nd e r the intriguing title "Groove Writing Re lating to Space ships which, as Record e d on the Discs, Existe d 12 ,000 Years Ago.” The cave s high u p in the Bayan-Kara-U la M ou n­ tains are inhabite d by the Ham and Dropa tribe s - frail, stu nte d m en ave raging fou r fe et two inches in he ight. So far the y have d e fie d e thnic classification. In fact, any d e taile d inform ation about the tribe s is e xtre m e ly scarce . Whe n d e ciphe re d , one of the hie roglyphs presu m ­ ably se t d own by an ancie nt m em be r of the Ham tribe re ad : "The Dropas cam e d own from the clou d s in the ir glid ers. Ou r m e n, wom e n and child re n hid in ufo contact 127 the cave s te n tim e s be fore the su nrise . Whe n at last the y u nd e rstood the sign langu age of the Dropas, the y re alize d that the ne wcom e rs had pe ace fu l int­ e ntions . . ." Anothe r Ham hieroglyph e xpre sse s regre t ove r the loss of the tribe 's own spaceships d u ring a d ange r­ ou s land ing in high m ou ntains, and the failu re to bu ild ne w one s. In the opinion of Chine se archaeologists, the Bayan-Kara-U la hie roglyphs are so m yste riou s that the ir inte rpre tation and u se for scie ntific rese arch re qu ire the u tm ost care. To obtain fu rther inform ation, the d iscs we re scrape d fre e of ad he ring rock particle s and se nt to M oscow for stu d y. Scie ntists the re m ad e two im port­ ant d iscoverie s. The d iscs we re found to contain a large am ou nt of cobalt and othe r m etals - a shaking d iscove ry. Fu rthe r investigation reve ale d that the d iscs vibrate in an u nu sual rhythm , as if the y carrie d an e le ctric charge or we re part of an e le ctric circu it. The 12 ,000 ye ar-old d iscs rem ain a challenge to scie nce . Le ge nd s of ancie nt China say that sm all, gau nt, ye llow-face d m e n cam e d own from the clou d s. But e arthly tribe sm e n fe lt a re vu lsion for the visitors, whose e norm ou s he ad s and e xtre m e ly thin, we ak bod ie s m ad e the m look u gly, and "som e pe ople on fast horse s” be at the m .

What m ake s the issu e d ou bly involved is that the inne r walls of the cave s are covere d in m any place s with pictu re s of the rising su n, the m oon, and the stars, spaced by a m ultitud e of pe a-size d d ots (poss­ ibly tiny pictures) which se e m to be approaching the Earth in a m ountain area. CEL ESTIAL EGGS. Pe ru vian le ge nd has it that the ancie nt inhabitants of Pe ru we re born from bronze , gold and silve r e ggs which had falle n from he ave n. The tale is cite d bu t le ft withou t com m ent in Je an Elise e Re clu s’ fam ou s book "La Te rre .” A variant of the e gg le ge nd is fe atu re d in the fam ous Tassili frescoe s, which we re fou nd in the heart of the Sahara by a French lie utenant nam e d Bre nand . Shortly afte rward s the place was e xam ine d by a Fre nch e xpe d ition le d by He nri Lotte , who late r wrote The Se arch for the Fre scoe s of Tassili. In ad d ition to pictu re s of anim als and hu nting sce ne s, the fre scoe s d e pict strange figure s d re sse d in what looks like spacesu its and spherical he lm e ts. The he lm e ts are d e finite ly attache d to the su its, which e voke no associations with ritu al he ad d re ss or hu nt­ ing gear. N or is the re any association with the hu nt­ e rs who, as som e scholars assu m e , u sed ostrich e gg­ shells for he lm e ts. Lotte calle d the e nigm atic figures M artians. De scribing the ancie nt d rawings on the cave walls the French e xplore r says that one of the m d e picts "a m an appearing from an e gg-shape d obje ct cov­ e red with conce ntric circle s. The object rese m ble s an e gg, or possibly a snail.” So the Pe ru vian le ge nd and the Tassili fre scoe s se e m to have m u ch in com m on. Bu t the paralle l d oe s not e nd the re .

How d id the od d id ea of m an's birth from an e gg take shape ? Perhaps by analogy with bird s or fish? Bu t why falling from the sky? One Latin Am erican le ge nd says that e ggs d roppe d d own from the sky on d and e lions! The abse nce of any e xisting inte r­ pre tation of this art le ave s the d oor ope n for what m u st se e m a fantastic assu m ption: that the le ge nd of the ce le stial e ggs, like any othe r m yth or le ge nd , cou ld have originate d from bonafid e im pre ssions of an actu al e vent.

D ear M r, H oovers D ecem ber 7, 1963, I observed in the sky at M oorestown, N ew Jersey, an unusual object and its unusual behavior. O n D ecem ber 8, 1963, just 2h hours later at Elkton, M aiyland, the Pan A m erican A ircraft with 73 passengers and a crew of eight perished when this aircraft exploded in m id air and crashed. I sent a tape recording of the observation I had m ade on D ecem ber 7, to M r. J. Edgar H oover and associated this object with the crash of this plane. M r. H oover inform ed m e that the Civil A eronautics Board was investigating this disaster and what I had sent to him would be forwarded to them , the C.A .B. In the m onth of M arch, 1965, the C.A .B., released a report that this accident and cause was due to a lightning strike. I protested to Senator Case of N ew Jersey. Senator Case m ailed m e the official report by the C.A .B., along with a letter by a M r. John D regge, D irector Com m unity and Congressional R elations. U pon reading the O fficial C.A .B. report on this accident and also this letter I have com e to the conclusion that neither the C.A .B. or the writer of this letter know what they are talking about and have m issed the point com pletely.

H owever, these alloys could not be identified since the chem ical com position of the deposits did not conform to any alloy used in the airplane. The long axis of the deposits varied from 18 degrees inboard to h degrees outboard.) O n July 18, 196U , I m ade another observation, the details of which I sent to H arvard College O bservatory, Cam bridge, M ass. (This sighting was A stronom ical not a m an m ade object), a copy of their return letter is enclosed. Som ehow both of these observations had som ething in com m on, the color. I proceeded to experim ent and have arrived at the following conclusions, after several hundred experim ents had taken place. I have bought books on A stronom y and also books on Flying Saucers. I know that this object was not astronom ical in any way nor was it a Flying Saucer. This object was a cleverly design m issle cam ouflaged to appear as a M eteor or as a Flying Saucer. H owever, this m issle failed to operate as planned that is how I teas able to see the com plete details of the color and also the design, which I furnished to the governm ent. I also know why this design was used and also why the colors were arranged as they were. M y experim ents proved this. Thru m y experim ents I have been able to determ ine the following: 1. W here they get the trem endous speed from . 2. The wobbling effect they have on occasion. 3. A ppearing to oscillate about their vertical axis. h. W hy they m ake no noise, condensation, or exhaust. 5. W hoshing and wheezing, hum m ing noise on occasions. 6. D ifferent colors they have. 7. Pulsating light.-Lum inous appearance. 8. D ifferent form s and shape. These objects are constantly being sent over both the N orth and South A m ericas by R ussia. A nyone seeing these objects are instantly responsive as to a flying saucer. Subjected to ridicule if this be m entioned to any one, and/or reported to the authorities. R ussia is well aware of this fact and has capitalized upon this fact. They have in this way been able to penetrate our R adar System undetected, To concludet The present situation can be blam ed upon the various governm ental agencies who in the past have scoffed at and ridiculed people who have reported these sightings. N ow we are about to pay with 60,000,000 A m erican lives or m ore. "Som e price". O ur one hope is that R ussia and China will go to war against one another, This then will give us tim e to created an effective and efficient R adar system that cannot be penetrated. I am not a Phophet of D oom , just an A m erican Citizen who is concerned about the future of A m erica. yoyrs A copy of this letter is being sent to the fdlloi people: President N ixon J.

W ash., D .C. 19806 D ear Sirs; O There currently are rum ors over the grapevine and in print that suggest m en with oriental features wearing dark clothes go around terrorizing people who have had close-up views of U FO ’s. It is also rum ored these creatures have im personated arm ed forces officers and FBI investigators. They are supposed to ride around in black or dark autom obiles that either have old licence tags or none at all. Several are reported to have attem ped to run down witnesses of U FO sightings, m ade disturbing ^alm ost m acabre phone calls, silenced several investigators who were supposed to have learned som e dark secret about extraterrestial craft or m ission plans and opened m ail, tapped telephones and even taken pictures of several hom es where U FO witnesses lived. Can you give m e any inform ation on such rum ors? O r can you refer m e to a source whose facilities can answer m y questions? this inform ation will help settle som e disturbing questions the readers of m y articles. Personally I am not sure at all whether I can fully accept these rum ours as facts. I need m ore inform ation. A ny inform ation you supply can ease the worries of people who feel that the objects unknown they see in the sky m ay portend the visit of a m ysterious visitor. V ^ P. S.

U FO -related M aterials 2 U FO FA CT SH EET O n D ecem ber 17, 1969 the Secretary of the A ir Force announced the term ination of Project Blue Book, the A ir Force program for the investigation of U FO s. The decision to discontinue U FO investigations was based on an evaluation of a report prepared by the U niversity of Colorado entitled, "Scientific Study of U nidentified Flying O bjects;" a review of the U niversity of Colorado's report by the N ational A cadem y of Sciences; past U FO studies; and A ir Force experience investigating U FO reports during the past two decades. A s a result of these investigations and studies, and experience gained from investigating U FO reports since 1948, the conclusions of Project Blue Book are: (1) no U FO reported, investigated, and evaluated by the A ir Force has ever given any indication of threat to our national security; (2) there has been no evidence subm itted to or discovered by the A ir Force that sightings categorized as "unidentified" represent technological developm ents or principles beyond the range of present day scientific knowledge; and (3) there has been no evidence indicating that sightings categorized as "unidentified are extraterrestrial vehicles. W ith the term ination of Project Blue Book, the A ir Force regulation establishing and controlling the program for invest­ igating and analyzing U FO s was rescinded. A ll docum entation regarding the form er Blue Book investigation has been per­ m anently transferred to the M odern M ilitary Branch, N ational A rchives and R ecords Service, 8th and Pennsylvania A venue, W ashington, D .C. 20408, and is available for public review and analysis. A ttached for your inform ation is the Project Blue Book sighting sum m ary for the period 1947-1969. A lso included is a listing of U FO -related m aterials currently available. Since the term ination of Project Blue Book, no evidence has been presented to indicate that further investigation of U FO s by the A ir Force is warranted. In view of the consider­ able A ir Force com m itm ent of resources in the past, and the extrem e pressure on A ir Force funds at this tim e, there is no likelihood of renewed A ir Force involvem ent in this area.

H e advised that Jody Powell of the President's staff has raised the question as to whether or not there is any coordination within the Executive Branch relating to inform ation concerning this subject. H e stated that the U .S. A ir Force had closed their investigation of these m atters several years ago and currently does nothing but refer such inform ation to appropriate local authorities. A CTIO N : any further contact N one. For • I advised him that as far as the FBI is concerned there appears to be no conceivable jurisdiction for us to conduct any inquiries upon receipt of inform ation relating to a U FO sighting and, in the absence of som e investigative jurisdiction based upon the inform ation furnished, that inform ation would be referred to the D epartm ent of the A ir Force without any action being taken by the Bureau.
