FLYING SAUCERS INTERNATIONAL, 
OFFICIAL JOURNAL 01 THE 
AMALGAMATED FLYING SAUCER 
CLUBS OF AMERICA, INC.
IS - MISCELLANEOUS
The Philadelphia Division by letter dated 9/22/66, 
furnished the Los Angeles Division with Issue No. 24 dated 
July, 1966, entitled "FLYING SAUCERS INTERNATIONAL", which is 
the official Journal of the Amalgamated Flying Saucer Clubs 
of America, Inc. The Philadelphia Division received the 
magazine from Mr. JARVIS H. COOPER, IRS, 401 North Broad Street 
Philadelphia, Pennsylvania on 9/19/66. Mr. COOPER stated he 
subscribed to the magazine because his son had exhibited an 
interest in flying saucers and outer space. He said that on 
pages 2 and 3 of Issue No. 24 was an article which he believed 
expounded the Communist Party (CP) line.
For the information of the Bureau, the International 
Headquarters of the Amalgamated Flying Saucer Clubs of America 
Inc. is located at 2004 North Hoover Street, Los Angeles, 
California* The article, on pages 2 and 3> were allegedly 
written by Master KALEN-LI RETAN, Head of the plaift KORENDOR, 
which was received on 5/4/66 by special directional short-wave 
radio by BOB RENAUD.
The indices of the Los Angeles Division contain no 
information identifiable with RENAUD, and no investigation has 
ever been conducted on captioned organization.
No further action is contemplated in this matter 
by the Los Angeles Office, UACB.
The foregoing is furnished to the Bureau for 
information.

BRIGHT W ORLD IN HANDS OF SAUCER M OV EM ENT
(Editor's Note: T his special message was 
received from M aster Kalen-Li Retan (head of the 
planet Korendor, about 400 light years distant) on 
M ay 4, 1966 via special directional short-wave radio 
by Bob Renaud, the young electronic-technician whose 
remarkable story we printed in issues #18, 19, 20, 21, 
and 22, and which will be continued in our next issue.
Since Bob's initial radio contact in 1961, he has 
talked with the crew of a spacecraft as he watched 
them on his special T V screen in his home — and 
eventually met his contacts in-person; visited their 
undersea and underground bases on our planet; was 
taken aboard many of their spaceships; and was 
actually allowed to pilot two of their small scout 
craft — one on a short solo flight.)
"Kalo (Hello), friends. W e will get directly to 
the point of our message to you. Frankly, we are 
appalled at the state of Earth at present. Despite our 
constant warnings and even our actual intervention in 
some instances, the condition upon your planet grows 
steadily worse.
One subject on everyone's lips these days is 
V ietnam. From a little civil war, it has grown 
steadily and inexorably into a full scale conflict 
between the world's three major powers: the United 
States, the Soviet Union, and Communist China.
M any influential people have used the approach 
of patriotism and love of God and Country to twist 
decent human feelings into dangerous channels of 
thought and action. W ith their charges of treason and 
sympathy with the enemy, they have aroused a good 
portion of the populace to a state of fear, distrust, 
and hatred of those who seek peace and love. Unfor­
tunately, because some unconventional individuals 
have been associated with the peace movement, that 
entire operation has been seriously hindered.
Your government is a military puppet, a mere 
parrot of the monstrosity that is the M ilitary-Indus­
trial complex. Your senators, except for a few, are 
robots, speaking what they are told to say.
Your President is, unfortunately, a pawn of 
their needs and demands. W e have contacted him 
several times concerning the state of affairs, and he 
has said that he could do nothing to change them, for 
if he were to speak out against the Asian conflict, he 
would be removed. T his is what happened to the late 
M r. Kennedy who, in his great humanitarianism, was 
reluctant to sacrifice his ideals and his visions for 
the sake of the M ilitary Industrial octopus. He paid 
the supreme penalty for his efforts in behalf of
humanity.
M ake no mistake. Your government is not in the 
W hite House or the Congress. IT IS IN T HE PENT A­
GON, AND IN T HE HEADQUART ERS OF T HE V AST  
"DEFENSE"-ORIENT ED INDUST RIES. It is T HEY, 
not the President or the Congressmen, who run the 
United States. T he facade government is merely to 
allay undue alarm or suspicion of the people.
Examine another aspect of the Asian war, the 
ECONOM IC side. Do you recall that, in the stock 
reports just recently, the Dow-Jones average 
dropped sharply BECAUSE OF A RUM OR T HAT  
NORT H V IET NAM HAD M ADE A PEACE BID? Does 
the staggering implication of this news evade you? 
Stock prices suffering a heavy loss because of a 
rumor that peace might come to pass!
T his thought is most distressing. Your economy 
relies so heavily upon war and destruction, that if it 
were to stop, T HE UNIT ED ST AT ES ECONOM Y 
W OULD SUFFER A M ASSIV E DEPRESSION! Your 
money system would collapse like a house of cards. 
M illions would be unemployed, sick, hungry and 
homeless. T remendous industrial complexes would 
close their doors.
T he utterly appalling fact is this: W AR IS 
PROFIT ABLE . Highly so! Every major conflict has 
been accompanied by a strong peak in your monetary 
prosperity. Peace has usually been economically 
painful!
After W orld W ar 1, the nation coasted for a while 
upon the fat put on during the boom of the war years. 
In 1929, the bottom fell out. After the Korean W ar, 
in the 1950's came another recession. W hat comes 
after V ietnam? No one knows, and no one wants to 
find out. T he war in V ietnam is bringing an unheard- 
of degree of affluence in the United States. W hy kill 
a good thing by ending the war ? T he philosopy, in 
essence, is this: It is economically expedient to send 
military forces to V ietnam and elsewhere in Asia in 
order to wage war, because in doing so, the United 
States' economy is bolstered and maintained at a high 
level of prosperity; human life is secondary to the 
preservation of economic well-being!
It is thus evident that, unless a drastic change is 
made in the structure of your economy, war will 
never end because the M ilitary-Industrial complex 
W ON'T LET IT !
M any of you fear Communism. W here did that 
fear come from, I ask you? From within yourself? 
NO! It was brainwashed into you by the M ilitary- 
Industrial complex. W ho controls all your news 
media? T he government and the advertisers. W ho, 
then, is in a position to dictate what shall be printed9

T he M ilitary-Industrial complex, by opinion-control 
through the use of psycho-politics (brainwashing by 
controlled news management).
Consider this: In order to survive, a commer­
cial medium, such as a newspaper or magazine, 
requires a vast amount of advertising revenue. T he 
mere subscription fees will not cover the costs. 
T hus, they depend.for their continued existence upon 
money paid by advertisers. Suppose, then, that the 
editor of a certain newspaper decides that he is 
opposed to the V ietnam policy, and says so in his 
paper. T he advertisers simply say to the editor, 
"Either you toe the mark and print what we want, or 
we'll withdraw our advertising. "
Such pressures are a fact of life. T he newsmen 
are torn between their higher devotion to T ruth, and 
also to the lower level of their physical needs. 
Rather than jeopardize their security and their 
futures they, of course, submit meekly to power. 
T heir actions are fully understandable, and we do not 
hold them responsible.
W e throw the blame directly on the M ilitary- 
Industrial complex which, by its underhanded dealing, 
threats of force, and economic pressure and retali­
ation, has crushed the spirit of American journalism 
and turned it from a dynamic motivating force in 
American life into a weak-willed, subservient 
mouthpiece for the power-masters. W e blame them 
for the death of journalistic freedom and individuality!
One more comment on this topic: M ay I say that 
a better economic system is already known to the 
leaders of the Flying Saucer M ovement. It is the 
system known as Universal Economics. As we have 
said over and over before, it is the non-money 
economic system which M UST be applied on your 
planet before you can start to resolve most of your 
major problems and thus begin to establish a highly- 
advanced, non-destructive state of existance on 
Earth, such as we of more advanced planets have 
enjoyed for so long. INV EST IGAT E T HIS SYST EM  
to evaluate it for its merit — then ACT to apply it! 
YOUR V ERY SURV IV AL AS A CIV ILIZAT ION M AY 
DEPEND UPON IT !
Perhaps this is an opportune time to clarify a 
few questions which have been asked about us.
Do we of Korendor work with the local planets 
in our operations? Yes, we do cooperate with them 
a great deal. However, our work on Earth is 
relatively independent of the local planets. W e have 
many times overstepped what is considered to be the 
limit of interference upheld by V enus, M ars, and 
other planets. T his has caused a good deal of debate 
between them and us. Each time we have pointed out 
that we of Korendor are basically pragmatic in nature. 
Although we do respect the laws of self-destiny, we 
feel also that where stepping in is required to prevent 
disaster, it is our right and our duty to do so.
W e have interfered in such places as the United 
States, China, Russia, and on a large scale in 
V ietnam. T his has caused no end of consternation in 
the local T ribunal of Planets. W e are sympathetic to 
their viewpoint, but we do feel that their policy is 
limited in its capacity to achieve the desired goals. 
It is our opinion that one cannot stand on the sidelines 
and achieve any noticeable results.
As I have said before, we have infiltrated your 
planet. W e are directly involved in Earth's life. 
You might say that you have been invaded — a strong 
way of phrasing it, to be sure, but nonetheless 
factual, since we walk and work amongst you daily!
W e have been asked about our physical appear­
ance. W e are humanoid, indistinguishable from 
yourselves, except that in our natural form we aver­
age three to four feet in height. Every other dimen­
sion is proportionately scaled, so that photographs of 
us would not reveal our origin in any way.
W e are able to increase our height while on 
Earth through a technical process related to telepor­
tation. It is concerned with recording the atomic and 
molecular structures of our bodies, and then repro­
ducing them identically on a larger scale. Differ­
ences in our internal structure are adjusted by the 
computer which controls the reproducer.
Our most common skin color is a little darker 
than yours, although we have skin colors which vary 
as yours do all over the Earth. Usually, however, 
we would look "tan" to you. W e are NOT green, blue, 
or heliotrope, as has been suggested!
Concerning our language, we generally use one 
of two tongues and we are fairly familiar with a third. 
On Korendor itself we speak the native language, 
Korendian. It is similar in many ways to your own 
languages since it, like yours, was originally derived 
from Galingua, one of the two universal tongues. 
T he other is Solex M al, which is more familiar to 
you, since it is used by your local Solar System 
planets. It is seldom heard now in our sector of 
space, as Galingua has replaced it almost completely.
Unlike your own, however, the Korendian- 
Galinguan speech is very rhythmic, and has few 
sibilant sounds, such as "s" or "z". Some of the 
sharper sounds like "c" and "k" are minimized. It is 
a beautiful language which is very musical and 
pleasant to hear.
Perhaps you would be surprised to learn that 
ancient Latin was liberally taken from Galingua. 
T here are many similarities in the two languages. 
Even modern English has roots on other worlds !
In concluding my message to you, may I say — 
people of Earth: open up your minds and your hearts 
to the world around you. T here is so much to be 
learned, so much to be discovered. Don't waste 
precious hours and days in bigotry and ignorance, 
and in senseless fighting and killing. T o do so is 
truly a crime against nature and humanity.
At this stage where you have the very stars 
almost in your grasp, how irrational and barbaric it 
is to spend futile hours warring with your brothers. 
As an old saying on your world puts it: "As you make 
your bed, so shall you lie in it." T he decision does 
not seem difficult. Here are the alternatives: A 
world living in harmony, justice, security and abun­
dance for all, or a world continuing to reap the 
bloody harvests that grow from the seeds of hatred 
and mistrust. If left to their own devices, the 
majority of mankind will forge onward to a destiny of 
destruction and annihilation, oblivious to the danger 
in their actions. T hey are short-sighted; they care 
little for the future.
It is you New Age people, dedicated to the wel­
fare of all mankind, and having the vision and under­
standing of the ways to build the better world of 
tomorrow, who must lead the way. You have the 
future in YOUR hands, if you will but shoulder your 
responsibilities. T he Flying Saucer M ovement, as 
you call it, belongs to you. Support it in every way 
possible. Help it to grow until it is influential 
thoughout your world. Go out into the world and 
guide the misguided, find the lost, and recover the 
strays. W e are behind you all the way. As we have 
said many times before, we will take two steps for 
every one that you take to help yourselves.
T he time has come for nations to "bury the 
hatchet", to clasp hands, and plunge into the future 
together — in co-operation toward mutual goals.
Look to the heavens and realize that your destiny 
is not in bleak atomic desolation, but in the magnifi­
cent greatness that you can achieve if you will but 
work for it. Choose the right path and you will soon 
qualify to join with us in our journeys amongst the 
stars.

OUR NEW NAM E: Our magazine, formerly 
called "UFO International", has now become "Flying 
Saucers International", which we feel to be a more 
appropriate title, since Flying Saucers are no longer 
Unidentified Flying Objects as far as we are concern­
ed. Flying Saucers have become a serious issue 
with thinking people all over the world. W e believe 
that most of the objects which have been sighted have 
been of extraterrestrial origin, controlled by intelli­
gent beings who, in form, are very much like us. 
T herefore, we hope you will understand our reasons 
for changing titles, and that you will continue to 
enjoy reading our publication under its new banner.

DELLA LARSON, who for over a decade was the 
guiding light and main instigator of Flying Saucer 
meetings and activities in the San Francisco Bay 
Area, passed away on October 25, 1965. She was 
70 years old. She will be remembered for her 
energetic and enthusiastic dedication to the goals of 
the Flying Saucer cause, as well as for the highly 
successful annual Northern California Space Craft 
Conventions which she organized for nine years.

new role. He is now editor-publisher of "Real" mag­
azine which may be found on the newstands for 509.

having with the Space Brothers. T he lights in Inde­
pendence went out completely for several minutes by 
a gradual fade-out, and then came on again in the

speaking through Hope said to those present: "Be not 
afraid. W e are guardians of the race. Protection 
will be given to those in the area."

stated that he had taken a saucer ride to visit the 
second planet from the star, Alpha Centauri.

Six Teens Tell of 'Chase by Buzzing, Lighted UFOs
B y RO B ERT KIST1FR 
Denver P ost Staff W riter
Six picnicking Denver teen-agers reported Thursday 
night they were chased for an hour by unidentified flying 
objects in Daniels P ark south of Denver in Douglas County.
The high school students—three boys, three girls—told 
P olice Chief John C. Maclvor of Littleton they witnessed un­
explained, apparently "hovering" red. blue and white lights 
.accompanied 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 Maclvor as being “sincere, 
cold sober and a little shaken by what they saw."
The group appeared at Maclvor's office shortly before  
11 p.m.
“1 was real skeptical at first,” Maclvor said "B ut each 
of the kids called their parents—who knew they’d been pic­
nicking—to tell them where they were.
"1 don't know what they saw," he said, "but I’m con­
vinced they saw something."
A lan Scrivner, son of Mr. and Mrs Russell Scrivner of 
IMO  Jackson St., a junior at East H igh School, gave the  
following account:
Scrivner and five friends drove to Daniels P ark. 10-12 
miles southeast of Littleton, about 6:30 pm. They parked the  
car and walked about a city block down a small 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 man walking on top 
of the shelter." The roof can easily be reached on foot from 
the slanting hillside.
Scrivner and Don O tis, an East H igh junior, son of Mr. and 
Mrs. Elmo 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—made  
their way through the underbrush back to the road. "I 
thought someone was messing around my car," Scrivner 
said
“Just as we got to the car.” be said, "both of us beard 
a real weird buzzing noise. It seemed to be all around us "
A s they reached the car. the youths saw "two red lights 
—about a foot each in diameter—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 might be two parked cars or 
something," crouched in the ditch and waited.
A bout three minutes 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 same “footstep-like" sound on 
the roof again. Two of the girls said they'd also seen a "tall
man, who might'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."
B uzzing 'A ll A round'
The ominous buzzing began again. No direction, "just 
all around — never heard anything like it to my life.” 
Scrivner said. Shortly afterward as the group neared the  
car. they all agreed they saw the same thing;
Two blue lights hovering low in the sky, about three- 
quarters of a mile 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
No 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 minutes 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

clear beneath the clouds where the lights were." A s the third 
set of lights hovered, the youths agreed they could see a dark 
outline between the lights.
“It looked .like a black football—the blue lights on each 
end — with an orange on top, like a bubble. The red light 
was at the bottom. It didn't move up and own, but did cast 
a beam of light at the ground," Scrivner said.
'C ar Didn't W ork Right'
The youngsters piled to the car — a 1964 Ford — and 
started out of the perk.
“You'll all think we're nuts." Scrivner said later, "but 
my car didn't work right. 1 could get it up to about 30 (miles 
an hour) then it would cut out like someone turned the  
ignition off. Then it would start up again."
Scrivner also complained that the radio was "playing 
nothing but static" while they left the immediate area of the  
shelter.
A s they drove off, two of the girls and O tis saw what 
appeared to be a "large, oval circle of light — it covered 
the whole road — following the car.”
Mary Zolar, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Jack A . Zolar, 
945 Fairfax St., a senior at East, was to the back seat with 
two others.
“It was huge and glowing," she said, “and came right 
up to the bock of the car. then went out. It lasted about 
three second* ”
A s the car left the park area, it quit “missing out" and 
the radio played normally. Scrivner said.

T HE COCKEYED BALLAD
T here's a cockeyed feeling in the world today 
T hat power politics is here to stay. 
But China, Russia and the U.S.A. 
Boy—don't let them fool you!
T ake a look at this world of ours, 
Just one mud ball in the sea of stars. 
Other planets have no color-bars, 
'Cause they've got perspective.
Yanks and Ruskies put men into space, 
But it's all a mad politician's race, 
One-up-manship in this Year of Grace. 
It makes you giggle.
T he population stands and stares, 
W hile men in capsules explore upstairs. 
W hy we can't even manage our own affairs! 
Some cheek—colonization!
Besides, they've got people on V enus and M ars.
T hey got lads and lasses and ma's and pa's.
And they've got better transport than four-wheel cars. 
Have you ever seen 'em?
T hose Flying Saucers whisking through our skies 
M ust take some power to make them rise.
But government departments just hide their eyes, 
And call them meteors !
W ith all the lies that they print and shout. 
T he general public's got its work cut out — 
Figuring what it's all about.
But just you keep on trying.
I suppose you know why I'm telling you this, 
So you won't shriek or shake your fist 
W hen you discover M artians do exist! 
T hey're real nice fellows.
I know, 'cause I met one a week ago!
His ship came down for an hour or so.
He talked to me, but then he had to go.
Real interested I was!
Got brothers on V enus and Saturn, it seems — 
Fly their ships on magnetic beams.

SPACE-T ALK
T he powers that be will tell us we're alone. 
T hey'll tell us that in space we are unique; 
On this little desert island we call Earth 
T he human race is just a kind of freak. 
W hen we send our envoys into space 
T here'll be a smile upon this planet's face, 
'Cause brother, right out there—I'm telling you, 
T here's another human race; it's very true!
T hey're a very, very peaceful crowd. 
For they just never go to war. 
And they cannot interfere, 
T his is by Universal Law.
T he spaceman's message to us all 
Is based on how to banish fear, 
And if we only understand, 
W e will find it heaven here.
W hile we must rely on war, 
W e never will be happy here. 
W hile this world's economy 
Is based on hardship, strife and fear. 
How do they live without a war 
In their lands of milk and honey? 
T hey don't need economy, 
Because they don't use any money!
T hey cannot give us any ships, 
So we must try and build our own. 
But they are waiting right out there, 
Oh, my friends, we're not alone! 
How do they go at such great speed, 
And vanish then without prediction? 
Because they use free energy, 
And there isn't any friction.
Brother have you seen their ships ? 
Sisters have you seen them glow. 
As they dance and hover in the sky, 
And make our fastest jets look slow?
T hey wear one piece suits—you can't see any seams; 
But apart from that—they're just like us! 5


NEW SAUCER PHOT OS: T hese remarkable photos of Flying Saucers were taken by Dr. Daniel W . Fry, 
President of Understanding, Inc., of P. O. Box 76, M erlin, Oregon 97532. Your editor enlarged them 
from the original 16mm color movie film. Spots on the photos are due to the extreme enlargement of 
scratches and dust spots on the film. Of special interest is the fact that the same type of craft was 
photographed near M erlin, Oregon in a wooded section, and again near Joshua T ree, Calif, on the desert.

New ‘Fireball’ Raises 
An Old'Question: Do 
flying Saucers Exist?
• • •
Californian, W ho ‘T alks’ to M en 
From the Stars, Says ‘Yes’;
Scientists Assail Air Force
By Elliot C arlson
Staff Reporter of The W all S treet Journal
T hey’w back. T he latest was sighted a few 
nights ago by residents and pilots in the north­
ern tier of states and Canada. T hey described 
it as an orange fireball. T he Air Force at -first 
called it an unidentified flying object, but now 
thinks it was a meteor. Some other people 
called it r flying saucer.
Several people say they saw the fireball land 
T hursday night. An U-year-old boy in Lorain, 
Ohio, says he watched it drop into the woods 
near his home. A woman in Elyria, Ohio, 10 
miles away, claims she saw it plunge into a 
vacant lot across the street from her home. 
Others say they saw it streak into Lake M ichi­
gan. Scientists and police combed a 75-acre 
area near Pittsburgh after a woman there saw 
the object crash to earth “smoldering.”
. Despite 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 UFOs, which are mysterious be­
cause they are seen but never found.
W hatever it turns out to be—meteor, satel­
lite part, hoax, weather oddity or man from 
M ara—it appeared in a banner year lor such 
objects, which almost disappeared from public 
consciousness following a rash of reports of 
flying saucers in the mid-1950s: “W e’ve had 
more reports this year than in any year since 
1957, when we had more than a thousand,” says 
a spokesman for Project Blue Book, the Air 
Force program set up in 1948 to evaluate re­
ports of the phenomena.
V isitors From Outer Space
Nobody knows what the objects are or where 
they come from, but there is no lack of theories 
—or of controversy. T he Amalgamated Flying 
Saucer Clubs of America, Inc., is sure the 
“saucers" come from outer space. How do 
they know? T he “space people" have told 
them.
Not only that, says Gabriel Green, who 
heads the California group, “space people give 
contactees information about life on other 
planets and solutions to insurmountable prob­
lems on our planet.” One suggestion allegedly 
made to M r. Green in 1960 by a visit from Al­
pha Centauri, >a nearby star: Run for Presi­
dent as a write-in candidate. (He campaigned 
briefly, then decided not to run.)
T he National Investigations Committee on 
Aerial Phenomena (NICAP), 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 
problems,” says a spokesman. So men from 
M ars are a lot of bunk? Not necessarily, says 
the committee. It believes $ Congressional in­
vestigation would prove that UFOs “are real 
physical objects . . . under the control of living 
beings." As an afterthought, the spokesman 
says: “T here are a tremendous number of ego­
maniacs who have been able to appoint them­
selves experts in this field because it's so con­
fused."
One man who's not confused at all is Charles 
A. M aney, professor emeritus of physics and 
mathematics at Defiance, College in Ohio. Says 
the professor: “T hese objects are unquestion­
ably from outer space." He bases his reason­
ing on the fact that the objects often interfere 
with local electrical circuits, indicating to him 
they have “a means of propulsion associated 
with magnetic fields."
"T here’s Nothing T o It”
Such notions are scoffed at by astronomers, 
however. "All this is imagination outside the 
realm of science," says Donald H. M enzel, di­
rector of the observatory at Harvard. “I have 
examined Air Force cases and discovered that 
UFOs all have simple explanations in terms 
of well-known natural phenomena. T here's not 
one cause, but hundreds. Some are quite spec­
tacular, such as reflections from ice crystals or 
bright stars, searchlights on clouds or high- 
flying spider webs. But to some people the exis­
tence of flying saucers is a matter of religious 
fanaticism," he says.
But M r. M enzel reads more into the Air 
Force date than does the Air Force itself. Of 
the 9,786 UFO reports made to the Air Force 
since 1947, 673 remain classified as "unidenti­
fied.'' a spokesman says. He defines this cate­
gory as containing sightings whose pertinent 
data can't be correlated with any known object 
or phenomena.
T he spokesman quickly adds: "W e have nei­
ther received nor discovered any evidence that i 
proves the existence of intraspace mobility or 
extraterrestrial life and we continue to extend I 
an open invitation to anyone who feels he pos­
sesses any evidence of such vehicles operating 
in our atmosphere." And he states: “No UFO 
report evaluated by the Air Force has ever 
given any indication of a threat to our national 
security.”
T he Air Force’s approach disturbs some 
people, however. “T he Air Force should admit | 
there are natural phenomena taking place un­
der our noses of which we know nothing,” says 1 
I. M . Levitt, director of Feis Planetarium at the 
Franklin Institute in Philadelphia. He adds:' 
"T he Air Force is trying to explain something 
that isn’t susceptible to explanation.”
Robert Risser, director of the Oklahoma Scl- 
ence and Art Foundation planetarium at Okla­
homa City, believes "the Air Force must have < 
had its star-finder upside down during Aug­
ust." when several reports of flying saucers 
were ascribed by the Air Force to sightings of 
stars. "T he constellations of T aurus and Orion 
weren't visible at the time the Air Force said | 
the sightings were made. I think they made an
T he whole problem, says J. Allen Hyntek, 
chairman of the department of astronomy at I 
Northwestern University and a consultant to ■ 
the Air Force, is that the matter should be , 
studied more thoroughly.
“Pressures to conformity in academic cir­
cles and fear of ridicule have slowed the I 
study,” according to Robert Hall, a sociology! 
professor at the University of Illinois in Chi- { 
cago.
“T he possibility of life on M ars is an un-1 
popular thing to consider these days,” says 
Frank B. Salisbury, a professor of plant phy­
siology at Colorado State University. At the 
risk of being unpopular. M r. Salisbury told the 
fifth annual Space Conference this year that 
"there may be some natural explanation of 
these things, but a tentative possibility to be 
considered is that UFOs are spaceships from 
^iars." '
Fueling the flying-sauqer controversy has 
been the large number of reports from what 
many people consider reliable witnesses—pilots 
with technical backgrounds. Since 1947, more 
than 100 private, military and commercial pilots 
have reported spotting strange objects in the 
sky. according to one study.
Pinning down such reports is difficult, how­
ever. "Some of the boys did report things they 
couldn’t identify a few years ago," says a 
spokesman for American Airlines. "But our 
pilots haven’t made a report for years."
Nevertheless, "we have on file a great num­
ber of reports from pilots who don’t want their 
names used but still want to tell somebody 
what they’ve seen, claims J. B. Hartenft, Jr., 
■ president of the Aircraft Owners and Pilots As­
sociation. And he says: "I haven't drawn any 
conclusions myself, but I think we've certainly
I got a good mystery on our hands.”

Disc-Like Object Hovers, Rises
For Two Hours East of Kettle Point
By JIM ET HERINGT ON 
Free Press Sarnia Bureau
SARNIA — A revolving ob­
ject, sighted in the sky east 
of Kettle Point last night, was 
watched for more than two 
hours by about 100 persons.
Lawrence Bressette. who op­
erates a store on the Kettle 
Point Indian Reserve, said a 
motorist brought the objeet to 
his attention about 8 p.m. He 
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
mained motionless for about 
an hour flashing lights, then 
slowly began to rise. Cloud 
cover rolled in about 10 p.m., 
allowing only periodic sight­
ings.
‘T ve never seen anything 
like this," he said. *‘W e all 
saw it It was low — about 200 
or 300 feet off the ground to 
the cast. T hen it slowly began 
to move up."
M r. Bressette said it could 
not have been swamp gas 
which was suggested was the 
cause of unidentified flying 
object sightings in the Detroit 
area last week.
‘T ve seen swamp gas lights. 
T his was not the same,” he 
said. "Besides there hasn't 
been any swamp gas lights 
around here since before the 
war.’’ .
jM r. Bressette said his broth­
er, Jeffery, also reported see­
ing an object over Sarnia. T his 
one stayed stationary for a 
short time then shot across 
the sky at a very high speed.
An officer in control opera­
tions at Selfridge Air Force 
Base, M ount Clemens, M ich., 
said the Canadian sighting 
was the fourth reported to 
him last night. T he other 
three were from the Detroit 
area.
He 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 Huron shore. 
But there was no possibility 
the object he saw was a jet.
In M ichigan new reports of
UFO sightings were received 
Saturday night as far north 
as the tip of the “T humb" in 
Lake Huron.
Odd lights were reported in 
the sky over Oakland County 
and the neighboring Detroit 
area. Others were reported 
westward in the Lansing area.
Dr. J. Allen Hynek of North­
western University, scientific 
consultant to the U.S. Air 
Foite said phenomena seen 
at Dexter and Hillsdale on the 
night of M arch 20 probably 
were the result of swamp 
gases.
Sheriff Douglas Harvey of 
W ashtenaw County and civil 
defence director W illiam V an 
Horn of Hillsdale County criti­
cized Dr. Hynek's report. 
V an Horn said the swamp gas 
explanation was an attempt 
to "explain it away arbitrar-

N.Y. Daily Newt Dispatch
NEW YORK - T he nephew of 
the late Dag Hammarskjold 
has startled America’s top 
science writers by telling them 
he believes that flying saucers 
exist and that they come from 
outer space.
Knut Hammarskjold, whose 
late uncle was secretary gener­
al of the United Nations, spoke 
to a convention here of the avi­
ation-space writers associa­
tion.
Hammarskjold also suggested 
that our space neighbors are 
becoming more and more inter­
ested in what people are doing 
on earth.
"T he possible existence of 
leighbors in space will, if con­
firmed, create problems of le- 
jal, political and technical 
characteristics,” he said.

P
EO P LE in North Queens­
land are mystified by 
three separate reports of 
Flying Saucers.
T he first report came from a 
27-year-old banana grower, M r 
G. Pedley, who while driving a 
tractor through a neighbouring 
property on his way to his own 
farm, heard a loud hissing noise 
above the noise of the tractor.
Suddenly about 25 yards 
ahead of him, a blue-grey saucer 
shaped craft about 25 ft across, 
and 9ft high, rose vertically to 
about 60ft and travelling at a 
terrific speed headed off in a 
south-westerly direction.
On investigation, a nest 
of flattened reeds was found, 
the circle being about 30ft 
in diameter and since then 
four other nests have been 
found close by, some of them 
newly made. , 
During the last eight months,
sightings of Flying Saucers have 
been reported in the North 
Queensland press.
Hundreds. of sightseers - have 
flocked to the Horseshoe Lagoon 
in the T ully District during the 
last few days to view the circles 
which are partly hidden by 
dense scrub.
The RAAF has taken the 
reports seriously enough to
ask for clippings from 
nests which will
the
examined, and any further 
flying saucer sightings from 
the area will be investigated.

Police and newspaper 
switchboards were flooded 
with calls describing the 
object variously as a "puff,”
a “greenish ball.’ ‘flat

It was first sighted about 
4 a.m. and remained in view

A similar fireball was

W as Jesus Christ a Martian?
“It's hard to say," said Gabriel 
Green thoughtfully. Then he added 
that It certainly seems plausible.
It's no trick at all to walk on water 
or ascend to the heavens if you have a 
Martian levitation belt around your 
waist and an anti-gravity beam to 
ride, Green explained.
Furthermore, he said, the Martians 
now visiting earth on flying saucers 
are trying to save the earth's people  
from their own follies — just as the  
Savior was.
Green can speak with some au­
thority on these masters because, he  
says, he met and talked with a Martian 
once. A lso a four-foot man from the  
A lpha Centauri star system. A lso some  
other unearthly visitors.
S O M ETIM ES , HE said, he met these  
flying saucer crewmen by telepathic, 
appointments. These were arranged 
through associates of his with tele­
pathic talents.
"A nd once in a while," he said, “they 
would just call on the phone."
Green, who lives in Los A ngeles, Is 
the head saucerer — the president — 
of the A malgamated Flying Saucer 
Clubs of A merica.
Not being too telepathic, we just 
called Green 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," Green 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 
some members of our government 
would like."
W HY DO  THEY keep buzzing down 
here and scaring people?
“W hat with nuclear proliferation 
growing, it seems rather obvious that 
unless we start resolving the present 
problems facing mankind, we will 
destroy ourselves and perhaps some of 
the universe along with us,” Green ex- 
plained.
'This is one of the primary reasons 
why the extra-terrestrials started mak­
ing visitations in 1947, shortly after we  
developed this ability — to .watch over 
us and if possible to impart their ad­
vanced scientific, technological and 
sociological knowledge to help us re­
solve these problems before we destroy 
ourselves."
Green said he is trying to do his 
humble best to help them spread that 
message.
"The solutions they have given." he  
said, "deal primarily with resolving the  
motives for wars, expansionism and 
poverty. They hope to eliminate the  
have-not nations . . . through superior 
financing. They have an advanced eco­
nomic system they call U niversal 
Economics. The economics part of it is 
what I personally am trying to trans­
mit"
HE S AID RUEFULLY, however, 
that the saucer clubs themselves are in 
an economic pinch that has prevented 
needed research.
Green said he runs the saucer clubs 
out of his own home, at 2004 North 
H oover in Los A ngeles, "to cut down 
on the overhead." H e said there are  
clubs In 50 major U .S. cities and 
abroad, with a total of about 3,500 
members. H ouston has no club, he said, 
but he does have some interested H ous­
tonians on his mailing list
“W e are a contact-oriented research 
group,” he said, "meaning that many 
of our members have made actual

physical contact with crews of these  
craft"
Green said be has sighted 85 to 100 
spacecraft around Los A ngeles over 
the years and has met "half a dozen 
or so members of the crews."
B IT GREEN B ELITTLED his own 
experiences.
"They’re so insignificant It’s hardly 
worth talking about them,” he said. 
"Some of our members have actually 
been U ken for rides in spacecraft
“I certainly wouldn't turn down a 
ride if it were offered me. B ut they’ve  
never asked me."
Green said he met the Martian by 
appointment at a friend's home, and he  
looked “just like anybody you’d meet 
on the street” H e was casually 
dressed, Green said, and wore a short­
sleeve, shimmery, metallic-looking 
shirt which he said would stop bullets.
A ll in all. a handsome chap. Green 
said.
"I felt his hair and it was quite  
coarse and worn in a V-shape down to­
ward the center of the forehead,'’ 
Green said. “B ut I rather doubt all 
Martians wear their hair alike, any 
more than we do.

were really canals for distributing the  
short water supply from their polar 
regions, and that the two Martian 
moons are really artificial satellites 
just like the Russian astronomers have  
supposed."
Green said he had met the A lpha 
Centauri man several times — once in 
the Green home.
“H e was dressed ordinarily and was 
about four feet tall, although this was 
unusual. Most of the reports of them 
are that they are normal height or 
larger.” Green said.
'There was that space ship that 
landed near A lbuquerque, for instance, 
with a crew of four men and five wom­
en. They were very beautiful, very well 
proportioned. Seven to nine feet tall."
Green said he had met 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?
“O H . SO METIMES they actually 
park them — hang them up in the sky 
with a force field around them. Then 
they have an anti-gravity beam and 
levitation bells they wear around the  
waist to get on down to earth.
"Through these, they can accom­
plish such miracles as walking on 
water and ascending into the heavens.”
Green said he is 41 and was a 
photographer with the Los A ngeles 
B oard of Education until he resigned 
In 1959 to try to help the spacemen 
save civilization.
Green said naturally he asked to 
take the spacemen’s picture, but they 
refused and he abided by their wishes.
"A n associate of mine once tried to 
sneak a couple of flash pictures.” he  
said, “but two times the flash gun 
wouldn’t fire, even though the camera 
was In perfect working condition.
“TH A T DEMO NSTRA TES the pow­
ers of the mind of these people. Just
like U ncle Martin on 'My Favorite  
Martian.’ ”
Green said he had never seen one  
of the unearthlings beside his space  
ship. Thon 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 me and said he was 
from Mars," Green replied.
“B ut if you get a call from the W hite  
H ouse and were told P resident Eisen­
hower would meet you at a certain 
time on the corner of H ollywood and 
Vine, and you went there, and a man 
there who looked like the P resident 
called you by name, wouldn't you be­
lieve he was Eisenhower?"
Green said he once asked a spaceiing 
to prove himself by disappearing.
"B U T H E REU  SED and told me to 
walk away," Green 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.
Green believes the spacemen 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.” Green said. “I don’t know 
what their latest decision has been."
H E EXP LA INED that he hasn’t been 
in contact with a spaceman for two or 
three years now.
Green said people from many 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 diameter with the three protruding 
semi-spheres on the bottom and the  
portholes around the cabin.
Green said it is operational only 
within 5,000 to 10,000 miles of a 
planet's surface. H e said it comes down 
from a cigar-shaped mother ship that 
parks up there. The mother ship can 
make interplanetary trips.
A t this point we decided to end the  
interview. The long-distance line to Los 
A ngeles had begun making an eerie  
wheeee and then an ominous blup- 
blup-blup.
Maybe the Martians were listen­
ing in.
Five sightings were re­
ported on Monday of unidenti­
fied flying objects, observed 
in the sky in the northwest 
Detroit area.
Northwest P recinct police  
station had three reports, 
Schaefer one, and P almer 
P ark. one.
O n Monday, 7:20 p.m., sev­
enteen year old Mike W oods,

Van B uren A venue area.
Eddie Crunk, 17, 19749 
Greenview and his companion,! 
Robert Spallneo, 15, 19743

lights changing from the color 
red to green and then amber.
A t 9:30 p.m., slxteen-year- 
oM Michael Senia, 12810 
Virgil saw something with a 
white light traveling very fast 
near Virgil and Glendale. H e  
claims also to have seen It 
at the same time on Sunday 
night.
A 39-year-old man reported 
to the Schaefer precinct that 
be had observed something 
with red, yellow and green 
rotating lights at 11:17 p.m. 
Stewart H all, 8549 A bbington, 
saw the object near his home, 
stating that it was visible for 
about a minute.
Karen Ellington, 17, 15587  
LaSalle, was walking to the  
front door of her home about 
midnight, when she noticed an 
object tn the sky. It appeared 
to be* about 150 yards away, 
according to the police re­
port and stood motionless over 
the John Lodge Expressway, 
near Linwood. It was ap­
proximately 500 feet in the  
air, 9 feet long with a red 
light on the left and a green 
light on Um right.
Miss Ellington told police  
that the object stopped twice  
and lights started flashing. 
Its path of travel was from 
the east to the west.
She said she had seen others 
around the first of May.

New York Times Service
LOS ANGELES, Calif. — 
T he “urgent problem” of 
improving communications 
with the thousands of visitors 
from outer space who sup­
posedly are circling the earth 
was afforded solemn delib­
eration here this weekend at 
a special convention of fly­
ing saucer buffs.
Among the nearly 300 dele­
gates was a self-professed 
"interplanetary traveler" 
named Standing Horse, an 
Englishwoman who regularly 
issues mimeographed reports 
on her conversations with 
space travelers, a man who 
offered to book “group 
sightings” of flying saucers 
and a presidential candidate 
campaigning on the flying 
saucer ticket.
T HE SPACE buffs, who 
assembled in a cavernous es­
tablishment called the Blar­
ney Castle, weren’t much im­
pressed with T hursday’s So­
viet moon landing, but they 
were awed and confused by 
what they reported to be a 
sharp increase in flying 
saucers.
On/ delegate, M arianne 
Francis, warned that the 
sightings could mark the be- 
gmning of some “ominous 
changes” for the earth’s pop­
ulation. But the convention 
chairman, Dr. Frank 
Stranges, said the “interplan­
etary visitors” would turn 
out to be "angelic creatures 
whose mission is to help 
mankind.”
MINNEA P O LIS TRIB U NE!
“T hey accept spacecraft as a 
fact of life. T heir interest is 
in contacting spacemen di­
rectly or through telepathy.”
Green, who regularly runs 
for president as a "space age 
candidate,” says he cannot 
practice telepathy but insists 
he has met spacemen on at 
least six occasions. T he last 
of his visitors, he said, was 
four feet tall and came from 
the Alpha Centauri solar 
system.
A muscular, even-featured 
young man named W esley 
Bateman said he never had 
met spacemen but that he 
was in "constant communica­
tion with them through tele­
pathy” and offered a pro­
gram of instruction to other 
delegates who sought similar 
contacts. His blonde wife, 
Jonell, attired in black Leo­
tards, was kept busy signing 
up “students.”
"T here is no mystery as to 
whether the space men are 
watching us — some have al­
ready infiltrated our society,” 
said Bateman. “T he mystery 
is why so many are coming. 
W hat’s going to happen?”__
JOHANNESBURG, South Afri­
ca-South African police and 
scientists investigated T hursday 
a report that a flying saucer* 
type object had landed on a 
main highway near Pretoria, the 
country's administrative capital.
T wo patrolling police officers 
reported seeing the flaming 
“saucer,” about 30 feet in di­
ameter, shortly after midnight. 
One of them, Koos de Klerk, 
said that the shiny copper-col* 
ored object resembled a giant 
spinning top.
T he two men claimed that, as 
they approached the object, it 
took off silently at great speed 
with flames shooting out of its 
underside.
Scientists who examined the. 
spot where the officers said that 
they saw the object are reported 
to have found that a six-foot 
wide section of the tarred road 
had been badly burned. Grass 
on either side of the highway. 
.■'.Iso was reported slightly 
scorched.

T he delegates were gen­
erally well groomed, articu­
late men and women who 
could have blended into any 
PT A meeting. M any were 
heads of organizations whose 
members spotted and photo­
graphed “unidentified flying 
objects’’ and claimed to main­
tain telepathic communica­
tion with space travelers.
NEARLY ALL agreed that 
what they called the “flying 
saucer movement” was un­
dergoing sharp expansion. 
T wo delegates announced 
they were negotiating to pur­
chase radio stations to help 
transmit their theories. Sev­
eral flying saucer magazines 
and hundreds of books were 
on sale at the convention.
“T hese people are contac- 
tee-oriented," explained Gab­
riel Green, a serious young 
man who served as president 
of the Amalgamated Flying 
Saucer Clubs of America.

(To the Editor, S.C.M. Post)
Sir,—Citizens beware! T his is 
not a drill! If you report what 
you see, your report will be 
treated as hallucination. Your 
honest desire to help solve an 
aeronautical mystery will be 
discounted by harassing con­
frontation by paid investigators 
who are instructed to suppress 
the authenticity of their investi­
gation.
T he UFO Project research has 
been operative continuously for 
more than 20 years. T he scope 
and extent of this project is a 
carefully guarded subject. Dur­
ing that time it has maintained 
a continuous status of "Classified 
Information.” T he only informa­
tion released by the U.S. Air 
Force for publication is periodic 
reports of a few selected cases 
of mistaken identity—such as 
the report to this newspaper on 
February 1, by Dr Allan Hynek: 
“In Search Of Flying Saucers.”
Honest, sincere observers no 
longer report UFO sightings to 
accepted authority. (W hy con­
tinue to slap your own face?) 
For several years actual sight­
ings' of spaceships are compiled 
at Flying Saucer Clubs all over 
the worid. Amalgamated Flying 
Saucer Clubs of America 
(AFSCA) maintain a compre­
hensive information department 
that registers Club activities, and 
reports from all over the world.

Flying Saucers—we only need 
to acknowledge their presence. 
Actually we are on one of the

M any months will pass before 
the impact of the strange flying 
objects which dominated the 
North Jersey skies this week 
fades into memory.
T he bright white disk that 
streaked across three counties 
and hovered periodically over 
the W anaque Reservoir will pro­
vide an ample amount of con­
versation for weeks to come. In­
deed, thousands of eyewitnesses 
know well the story of that 
mysterious terrestrial stranger.
Not that the tale of the flying 
saucer is over yet.
Investigators from the Nation­
al Investigation Committee on 
Aerial Phenomena (NICAP) may 
arrive today in Upper Passaic 
County from W ashington D.C. to 
probe the UFO sightings.
Dr. George W hite, an elec­
tronics expert, and Dr. John 
Pegano of Fort Lee will investi­
gate the scene of the unidentified 
object and then report back to 
NICAP. Announcement of the 
impending study was made by

"Listen . . . this sounds crazy, 
but I saw something in the sky. 
Do you know what it is?” T his 
was the question posed to the 
police at the North Jersey police 
radio hook-up in Pompton Lakes. 
T he calls came in from W ana­
que, Ringwood, W est M ilford, 
Paterson, T otowa, W ayne and 
Butler.
Astounded residents were 
searching for an explanation. 
Even the police were dumb­
founded. T hey too saw the white 
oval hovering in the heavens 
from their prowl cars.
T he UFO was described then 
as a white and garishly bright 
disk, two feet in diameter.
According to observers, the 
odd movements of the myster­
ious visitor was enthralling. 
Some felt as if it were "toying” 
with police, citizens and bor­
ough officials by performing 
dives almost into the reservoir; 
at times appearing “as if it 
were looking down” upon the 
spectators from a silent station­
ary position high in the heavens 
and by making neat right angles 
as if it were using the sky as 
a chalk board.
M ade Several Stops
T he UFO then made quick 
stops at various locations in the 
community: Lakeland Regional 
High School, the Houdaille sand 
pit, the overhead bridge in Ring­
wood Avenue . . . and then it 
disappeared.
Hours later at 2:15 W ednesday 
morning, it re-appeared over 
W yckoff and five minutes later 
it was spied over the reservoir 
in W anaque where police say it 
almost came to rest at the top 
of the 1,500 foot long Raymond 
Dam. It was gone at 4:15 a.m.
Police, reporters and resi­
dents saw the disk as it whisked 
over W anaque and Ringwood 
both W ednesday and T hursday 
night.
T he story of the mystic sky 
visitor is not without intrigue. 
T he United States'Air Force re­
leased a number of reports 
which August Roberts, a mem­
ber of the Internationri Intelli­
gence on unidentified Flying Ob­
jects claims are “a whitewash.”
Initially, when the object was 
first sighted, the Air Force said 
it was an official helicopter with 
a strong beacon. A few hours 
later Air Force jets were spotted 
by police flying over the W ana­
que..-
Experiment?
Roberts theorized the object 
“might possibly have been a 
government experiment in t h e 
creation of an anti-gravity ma­
chine.”
As yet nobody really seems 
to know what the UFO was or 
where it came from. Some say 
it is a balloon, others, men 
from M ars.
But this is not the first time 
a UFO has been sighted over 
the W anaque. Some 18 years ago 
Charles Capen, former chief en­
gineer of the North Jersey Dis­
trict W ater Supply Commission 
said he saw something that 
looked very similar to the object 
described in the newspaper.
Reservoir police claimed 
to have seen something “round 
and bright” two weeks ago, over 
Lilly Hill in Stonetown and 
Board M ountain near Sloatsburg 
Road, according to Charles 
T heodora.
Dean Noll, assistant engineer, 
for NJDW SC does not believe 
that the UFO might have been a 
mysterious attempt to pollute 
the water supply. T here are 
“easier ways”, he said.
T hrongs of interested persons 
are still lining Jhe perimeter of 
the reservoir to catch a glimpse 
of the brilliant phantom that has, 
for the moment, vanished into 
the ether.
