Dear Sir:

I am a member of "Nicap" and am very much interested in U. F. O (Flying Saucers)

Several weeks ago a fellow employee received a letter (business) from Arizona with a stamp on the back (see enclosed)

Being interested in U. F. O's I asked for the stamp & sent $3.00 for the 12 issues of AFSCA.

Having received & read my first issue I feel it isn't just what it appears on the surface. I can't say just why, but with my limited idea of how communists operate it strikes me it is backed by them.

My reason for writing this is that I consider myself a true American, I am told my ancestors go back to a Gr Gr Gr Grandmother who was an Indian Squaw & I'm proud of it. If, by writing for this AFSCA Report, my name could in anyway be aligned with the communist party, I would like to know if there is any way I can get things straightened out.

I may be all wrong about my interpretation of this report but I'd like to be sure since I expect I will get the other issues as they come up.

MESSAGE

FLYING SAUCER

BRIGHT WORLD IN HANDS OF SAUCER MOVEMENT

(Editor's Note: This special message was received from Master Kalen-Li Retan (head of the planet Korendor, about 400 light years distant) on May 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 TV 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. We 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 Vietnam. 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. Many 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. With 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.

entire operation has been seriously hindered.

Your government is a military puppet, a mere
parrot of the monstrosity that is the Military-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. We 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. This is what happened to the late Mr. Kennedy who, in his great humanitarianism, was reluctant to sacrifice his ideals and his visions for the sake of the Military Industrial octopus. He paid the supreme penalty for his efforts in behalf of

walking around the premises, left his blessing on the Aetherius Society and its work. For further information call 465-9652, or write to the above address.
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. (Della, we salute you!)

MAX MILLER, former publisher of the now-defunct "Saucers" magazine, and author of "Flying Saucers: Fact or Fiction" (now out of print), has a new role. He is now editor-publisher of "Real" magazine which may be found on the newstands for 50¢. The August '66 issue devotes about half of its space to the Flying Saucer subject and will be well worth your investigation.

investigation.
WILBUR MILLER, one of the early researchers in the Flying Saucer Movement, passed away on March 5, 1966. He was known for his fine channel contacts with several Space Beings, including Monka of Mars. He also was the co-author — with his wife, Evelyn — of the book "We of the New Dimension."

Although he was a native of Missouri he had, in recent years, been a resident of Los Angeles and of Morongo Valley, Calif. (Good journey, Will!) HOPE TROXELL, founder of the School of

Thought, now situated in Independence, Calif. (P. O. Box 458), reported recently that the neighboring towns of Bishop and Lone Pine had partial blackouts during an evening channel (teltpathic) session she was having with the Space Brothers. The lights in Independence went out completely for several minutes by a gradual fade-out, and then came on again in the same manner. During this time, the Space Being speaking through Hope said to those present: "Be not afraid. We are guardians of the race. Protection

will be given to those in the area."
HAL WILCOX made a fine guest appearance on
the Joe Pyne TV Show, April 30, 1966. Hal passed
the lie-detector test with flying colors and conducted
himself with dignity and fortitude, which isn't always
easy on the Joe Pyne Show. During the test, Hal
stated that he had taken a saucer ride to visit the
second planet from the star, Alpha Centauri.

M. I. N. D. stands for Mental Investigations of New Dimensions, an organization recently formed by Wesley and JoNell Bateman. Their activities include meetings, courses and public appearances. They have demonstrated on several occassions for groups of up to 20 people, their ability to telepathically direct the movements of visable spacecraft overhead. Write: M. I. N.

HELEN & GABRIEL GREEN contributed their bit to the education of nearly 300,000 young people to the saucer subject at the Teen-Age Fair, April 1 thru 10 at the Hollywood Palladium, where AFSCA had a booth to exhibit saucer photos, show slides, and to disseminate information. We handed out over 13,000 brochures and saucer photo post cards, and talked ourselves hoarse answering questions for 12 hours each day. Gabriel also made over a dozen radio and TV appearances and interviews during the Fair. We also had another booth at the National Aviation and Aerospace Exhibition at the Pan Pacific Auditorium, May 17 thru 22. Yes, we've been busy!

The Military-Industrial complex, by opinion-control through the use of psycho-politics (brainwashing by controlled news management).
Consider this: In order to survive, a commercial medium, such as a newspaper or magazine,

cial medium, such as a newspaper or magazine, requires a vast amount of advertising revenue. The mere subscription fees will not cover the costs. Thus, 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 Vietnam policy, and says so in his paper. The 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. The newsmen

Such pressures are a fact of life. The newsman are torn between their higher devotion to Truth, 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. Their actions are fully understandable, and we do no hold them responsible.

We throw the blame directly on the Military-Industrial complex which, by its underhanded dealing threats of force, and economic pressure and retaliation, 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. We blame them for the death of journalistic freedom and individuality

One more comment on this topic: May I say that a better economic system is already known to the leaders of the Flying Saucer Movement. It is the system known as Universal Economics. As we have said over and over before, it is the non-money economic system which MUST 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 existence on Earth, such as we of more advanced planets have enjoyed for so long. INVESTIGATE THIS SYSTEM to evaluate it for its merit - then ACT to apply it! YOUR VERY SURVIVAL AS A CIVILIZATION MAY DEPEND UPON IT!

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. We have many times overstepped what is considered to be the limit of interference upheld by Venus, Mars, and other planets. This 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.

We have interfered in such places as the United States, China, Russia, and on a large scale in Vietnam. This has caused no end of consternation in the local Tribunal of Planets. We 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. We are directly involved in Earth's life.
You might say that you have been invaded - a strong

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! We have been asked about our physical appearance. We are humanoid, indistinguishable from

ance. We are humanoid, indistinguishable from yourselves, except that in our natural form we average three to four feet in height. Every other dimension is proportionately scaled, so that photographs of us would not reveal our origin in any way.

We are able to increase our height while on Earth through a technical process related to teleportation. It is concerned with recording the atomic and molecular structures of our bodies, and then reproducing them identically on a larger scale. Differences in our internal structure are adjusted by the computer which controls the reproducer.

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. We 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. The other is Solex Mal, 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. There 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. There 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. To 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." The decision does not seem difficult. Here are the alternatives: A world living in harmony, justice, security and abundance 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. They 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. The Flying Saucer Movement, as
you call it, belongs to you. Support it in every way
possible. Help it to grow until it is influential
thoughtout your world. Go out into the world and
guide the misguided, find the lost, and recover the
strays. We 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.

The 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.

Six promising Denver teen-agers reported Thursday night they were chased for an hour by unidentified flying objects in Daniels Park south of Denver in Douglas County. The high school students-three boys, three girls-told Police Chief John C. Mactier of Littleton they witnessed an "exploded, apparently hovering" red, blue and white lights accompanied by a series of pulsating buzzing sounds which began about 8:30 p.m.

"The teenagers, all 17, who described what they saw best, were described by Mactier as being "sincere, cold sober and a little shaken by what they saw."

The group appeared at Mactier's office shortly before 11 p.m.

"It was real skeptical at first," Mactier said. "For each of the kids called their parents-who knew they'd been picked up by the police."

"I don't know what they were making-up all them where they were," he said. "But I'm convinced they saw something."

Alan Scrivens, son of Mr. and Mrs. Russell Scrivens of 100 Jackson St., a junior at East High School, gave the following account:

Scrivens and five friends drove to Daniels Park, 10.12 miles southeast of Littleton, about 6:30 p.m. They parked the car and walked about a city block down a small incline and up again to a stone shelter built on the side of a hill.

POLICE CHIEF 'CONVINCED THEY SAW SOMETHING

The director of Unit 60 of the Treasury's Science Research Laboratory hopes to talk with two flying saucers by mid-1966. Three days of on-the-scene UFO close-up as it swept - "We were close, closer than I saw it at 8:30 travel" - degrees above the horizon, 10 miles south of Denver, April 17 in the sky. Interspersed with the object's appearance were two other objects who saw the object with or two "visits" by students. A number of witnesses on the scene had been watching the object for hours.

Cited as America's top cop, Mr. Reynolds, a construction foreman, is 60 years old. He has a large file of photographs of flying saucers and objects he thought was a landing by a spacecraft.

When they tried "what sounded like a man walking on top of the shelter." The roof can easily be reached on foot, from the starter. The roof was made of wood, and was about 10 feet high. The two, leaving the others behind in the shelter, made their way through the underbrush back to the road. "I heard something someone was messing around my car," Schriro said. "Just as we got to the car," he said, "both of us heard real weird buzzing noise. It seemed to be all around us." As they reached the car, the youths saw "two red lights shining." "Crouched in the ditch and waited," Schriro said. "The two of us were minutes later, they again approached the shelter. They saw and heard nothing. They again approached the shelter.

The cosmos buzzing began again. No direction, "up" or "down" - never heard anything like it in my life. The group said, "Sondy they are walking back to the car. Olls turned and saw "a real bright flash behind the hill over the shallow and it lit up the whole area."

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 stationer - in the opposite direction from the front 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.

Car Didn't Work Right'
The youngsters piled in the car - a 1954 Ford - and started out in the park.
"You'll all think we're nuts," Scrivener said later, "but my car didn't work right. I could get it up to about 30 (miles an hour) then it would start out like someone turned the ignition off. Then it would cut right in again."
Scrivener also complained that the radio was "playing nothing but static" while they left the immediate area of the accident.
As they drove off, two of the girls and Otis 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, 946 Parfier St., a senior at East, was in the back seat with two others.
"It was huge and glowing," she said, "and came right up to the back of the car, then went out. It lasted about three seconds."
As the car left the park area, it quit "missing out" and the radio played normally, Scrivener said.
The youths stopped at a service station and called the Arapahoe County sheriff's office, then went to Mactier's office.
Mactier said "one of the impressive things about their story" was all six didn't claim to have seen the exact shape of the same thing.
"And a couple of them are real shook up," he added.

Strangion, 77 Jackson Sts., a junior at East; Patty Redford, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Neal Redford, 742 Harrison St., a junior at Mapleton High School, and Kaye Harrison, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Lloyd Harrison, 5256 Montview Blvd., a junior at Mackenzie High School.
Two other UFO sightings were reported in the state, one in Delta and the other in Denver.

AFSCA CONVENTION SPEAKERS

By FRAN KENTLING
Beacon Staff Writer

An 11-year-old Wichita boy has joined the ranks of those across the nation who have reported seeing "flying saucers" during the past week.

Johnny Sparks said that early Friday morning he saw two "flying saucers" that made a humming noise and were bigger than cars. He is the son of Mr. and Mrs. Calvin Coolidge Thomas, 916 N. Topeka.

He said his mother said it might be the Air Force "playing a trick."
None of the neighbors reported anything unusual when told of the saucers landing, and the police dispatcher said they had had no reports.
HOWEVER, JOHNNY and his mother did point out something unusual. Along the driveway lay pieces of concrete that once served as a reinforcement sheet along the house's foundation.
Mrs. Thomas said she never noticed it breaking off until Friday. Pieces were scattered into the driveway.
Also, sand had swirled into the driveway area.
Johnny said he was not anxious to repeat his sighting experience. But, he hoped if they ever came back . . . and if somebody was in one . . . that they would be friendly.

The image is a photograph showing a woman and a boy examining what is described as "flying saucer damage." The damage includes broken concrete reinforcement sheeting and sand swirled into the driveway. The photograph is from The Wichita Beacon, dated Saturday, March 26, 1966.

# UFO Sighting Reported Here

Not a Star -- Not an Aircraft, Says Louis S. Smith Family of North Bend

The Louis S. Smiths, who live on the CCC road, spent an interesting 10 minutes or so Thursday evening, April 7, as they used binoculars and a telescope to watch something in the sky which they were unable to identify except as an Unidentified Flying Object.

It was first seen by Phil, 15, a freshman at Mount Si, about 10 p.m. "I was out walking the dog, and the first thing that attracted me were the bright lights. I knew it couldn't be a star. Then I realized it was moving."

Phil ran in the house and called his parents and his sister, Diana, 18, a Mount Si senior. They all ran outside and all reported sighting the strange object.

Phil used a telescope (30 power) on a tripod and said he had a fairly good view of it. His father said he was unable to see through the telescope: "Every time I tried it the object would move where a tree blocked my vision." But he, Diana, and Mrs. Smith were able to observe the object with binoculars.

"It appeared to be traveling from north to south," Phil said. "Sometimes it moved quite rapidly and was heading in the general direction of Rattlesnake Ridge."

Phil described it as somewhat saucer-like in shape (see his sketch) and of a blue-grayish color in the moonlight. He said the band around the center was brilliantly lighted.

Mr. Smith agreed on the brilliance of the lighting but said he was unsure whether the center band was illuminated by bright lights or whether they were flames - "whatever they were they were very bright and seemed to radiate from that area on the object," he said.

He was reluctant to guess how far away it was. "I had some pilot training during the war, and I know how hard it is to estimate distances but I felt it was quite a way from us," he said.

He agreed that his son's sketch was accurate but said it was "too small" and that "the object was much larger than the sketch."

Burns Plane
Times Staff Writer
ABOARD THE BURNS CONVAIR- It's been a long political campaign but last night Gov. Haydon Burns, four cynical newspapermen, Mrs. Burns and six Burns staff members saw two spots of light that looked suspiciously like an unidentified flying object escorting the Burns campaign plane for about 40 miles over Central Florida.

The object was first spotted by co-pilot Herb Bates. He said he saw the object "when we took off from Orlando." Bates added "it stayed with us for at least 40 miles, then it disappeared, like he turned off the juice. It's the first one I've seen in 20 years of flying.

Bates reported the sighting to Capt. Nathan Sharon of the Florida Highway Patrol. Sharon went to the cockpit and observed the object and went back to tell Gov. Burns. Burns looked out the window and then came back and told newsmen "there's a UFO out there."

Newsgman and staff members looked out the window of the plane and spotted what appeared to be two round spots of light. At the time the plane was on a northwest course from Orlando to Tallahassee.

THE LIGHTS were off to the northeast of the plane and appeared to be traveling along at about the same speed. The pilot says the plane was flying at about 6,000 feet and at about 230 miles an hour. Everyone aboard the plane watched the lights for several minutes and Burns ordered the pilot to turn toward the object.

At that point the lights appeared to rise and then disappeared as though the electricity had been switched off. Everyone aboard the plane lost sight of the object at the same moment. During the time the object was visible Pilot Fred Scharrer was in contact with Miami air traffic control. He said that air traffic control was asked if it had anything on the radar besides the Burns plane.

SAUCER SHAPE. This is a rough sketch by Phil Smith, 15, of the Unidentified Flying Object watched by Phil, his father and mother, and his sister for about 10 minutes the evening of April 7. The band in the center (resembling windows) gave out the bright lights which first attracted Phil's attention.

"There were times when it appeared to be moving in a straight line and then you couldn't see much shape, just the band of light, and slow and then it would start to swing to the left, then it would start to swing to the right, then seemed to tilt a little which allowed us to see its general shape," he explained.

All of the Smiths are sure it was not of a heavenly body, nor an airplane. "It was much bigger than normal aircraft," Mr. Smith said. "The size was unbelievable."

All agreed that the object they were watching was much larger. They watch it until the object moved out of range. They were not alarmed, only interested. They said they had heard no reports of any kind of any of their neighbors shared the same view. Both Mr. and Mrs. Smith said they had been somewhat skeptical of the many reports of the sighting of such objects.

boy has a curved burn on his hand he claims came from touching the "antenna" of a soft-glowing "flying ship."
Charles Cozens claims two strange "ships" landed in a field behind the Hamilton Mountain police station on Upper Wellington Street Tuesday night.
Constable Arnold Pead, summoned to the home after the parents repeatedly questioned their son before reporting the incident, verified the three-inch, yellowish burn mark on the boy's hand.
Charles said he ran behind a fence after seeing one "ship" land, closely followed by another.
He described the objects as "eight feet long, four feet wide and three feet high with red, blue and green lights set into the rim and flickering like a computer."
The boy said the objects made a buzzing sound and "lit up the grass around."
Only one had an antenna, he said. "It was thicker at the base and narrowed to the size of a n pickle at the top."
When he touched the antenna, a flash "of electricity" occurred, and he received a shock. His father, James Cozens, a draughtsman, said he explained the seriousness of calling the police. "But Charles was enthus-

Hong Kong, 4-11-66]
"The Thing" — or "Things" — returned to Britain today and caused new speculation about a flying object which officials have failed so far to explain fully.

The Sunday newspaper
News of the World — with a massive circulation of about 7m — printed pictures on its front page of an object resembling a space craft that it said was photographed from an airliner by a woman passenger with a standard cine camera and developed in an ordinary commercial laboratory.

The woman, Mrs Joan Oldfield, 38, said she was flying in a British United Airways airliner in bright, sunny weather at 270 mph at 2,000 feet over Cannock in Staffordshire County 15 days ago when she spotted what she thought was another plane, a jetliner.

She said she whipped out her camera and aimed.

"It seemed to hover for three seconds round our airliner," her husband, Tom, told the paper. "Then it pulled in two first at the top and then two at the bottom to go into a flying saucer type shape. Then it banked over and disappeared completely."

The new reported sighting— and photographs —vouched for by one of the newspaper's photographers—coincided with recent fresh reports of unidentified flying objects in the United States and many claims that "The Thing" that has been sighted by 421 witnesses in the village of Warminster over the past 16 months has been seen again.

Authorities no longer look fully askance at the Warminster sighting reports, and the Ministry of Defence has expressed its willingness to provide negatives of pictures of Warminster's "Thing."—UPL

Sancer' Report

BLOOMINGDALE-Two Bloomingdale youths reported last night to Van Buren county sheriff's deputies the sighting of an unidentified flying object north of this village.

Doug Dickerson, 17, and James Melvin, also 17, said they were going north on the Bloomington-Alleman road about 7 p.m. In the vicinity of the Bill Potts farm, they saw a one-half miles north of Bloom- ingdale, Dickerson told Melvin, who was driving, to stop the car.

The boys said they observed an object off to their right over a swamp, hovering in the air. They estimated its distance at from 100 to 300 yards from the road, and the height of the object from 20 to 100 yards.

They said the object was about the length of a car with a flat bottom and a rounded top as a football cut in half. There were three lights on the object, they said.

They described the lights as being one red light on each end of the object, which kept blink- ing off and on, and one yellow light in the center of the object which remained steady.

They said they observed the object for about one minute, when it suddenly went straight up at terrific speed. They said it did not seem to go in any direction but up, until they lost sight of it.

HILLSDALE, Mich. (UPI) — A county civil defense director and 87 co-eds said today they watched an eerie, hovering flying object settle in a swampy hollow near a college dormitory Monday night.

"Fortunately, the younger

Peter Breono, 29 Dawson Ave. and Dennis Reynolds, 115 Scales Ave., reported they parked their car on Westbrook Road in order to get a full view of the vast Wamique Reservoir.

About 10:40 last night, they said, a bright point of light appeared to be hovering above the ice. As Reynolds prepared to photograph it, the light disappeared.

But it returned, with a "red dish tinge, bobbing and weaving," according to Breono.

Bentley Spencer, Wamique civil defense director, said he saw the light about 8 p.m. Dozens of cars ringed the reservoir hoping to see the "object," first spotted over the reservoir and in nearby communities Tuesday night and again yesterday morning.

Official explanations, meanwhile, were lacking. The Air Force dismissed the sighting as possible sightings of the stars Vega and Jupiter.

There's a cockeyed feeling in the world today
That power politics is here to stay.
But China, Russia and the U.S.A.
Boy—don't let them fool you!
Take 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.
The population stands and stares,
While men in capsules explore upstairs.
Why we can't even manage our own affairs!
Some cheek—colonization!
Besides, they've got people on Venus and Mars.
They 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?
Those Flying Saucers whisking through our skies
Must take some power to make them rise.
But government departments just hide their eyes,
And call them meteors!
With all the lies that they print and shout,
The 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
When you discover Martians do exist!
They'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 Venus and Saturn, it seems—
Fly their ships on magnetic beams.
They wear one piece suits—you can't see any seams;
But apart from that—they're just like us!

There'll be a smile upon this planet's face,
'Cause brother, right out there—I'm telling you,
There's another human race; it's very true!
They're a very, very peaceful crowd,
For they just never go to war.
And they cannot interfere,
This is by Universal Law.
The spaceman's message to us all
Is based on how to banish fear,
And if we only understand,
We will find it heaven here.
While we must rely on war,
We never will be happy here.
While 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?
They don't need economy,
Because they don't use any money!
They 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?

HOLLYWOOD - The unidentified flying object, spotted in San Fernando Valley Monday night, also was n seen here.

Mrs. Belle Roth, 1642 S. Holt Ave., told the Citizen-News she saw the object while driving at 7:20 p.m. Monday and heard it in her car near her home.

She said it looked like a big ball of fire and appeared to be over the Sunset Strip. It traveled in a northwesterly direction and disappeared over San Fernando Valley.

Mrs. Roth said she first thought an airplane was on fire and crashing. She described the ball of flame as "very bright" and said it appeared to be white hat.

Flying Object
Carl F. Bea of 21 Marion street, Bridgeton realtor, reported to Bridgeton police Monday that he saw a saucer-like flying object in the sky over Clark's Pond and the Paterson River. He told Desk Officer Russell Harris he was putting a sign in front of his property when the radio of his car suddenly cut out and he looked up and saw dirty-gray object in the shape two saucers-one atop the other-blending with the sky. He heard a whine and the object went out of sight traveling high speed and the radio

The image shows a disc-shaped object in the sky, with three horizontal stripes visible on its surface. The object appears to be a flying saucer or a similar unidentified flying object. There are some blurry clouds visible at the bottom of the image. The photograph is in black and white and has a grainy texture.

The spokesman quickly adds: "We have neither received nor discovered any evidence that proves the existence of intraspace mobility or extraterrestrial life and we continue to extend an open invitation to anyone who feels he possesses 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."

The Air Force's approach disturbs some

The image shows a blurred photograph of a disc-shaped object in the sky, often referred to as a UFO. It appears to be over a landscape with dry brush and hills in the foreground. The context provided states that the Air Force has found no evidence of intraspace mobility or extraterrestrial life and that no UFO report has indicated a threat to national security.

The image is a photograph of a flying saucer taken by Dr. Daniel W. Fry. The saucer is in the sky above a line of trees. The text indicates that similar craft were photographed in Merlin, Oregon, and Joshua Tree, California. The spots on the photo are due to enlargement of scratches and dust on the film.

# World Flying Saucer Believers Convene 2-6-66

New York Times Service
LOS ANGELES, Calif. — The "urgent problem" of improving communications with the thousands of visitors from outer space who supposedly are circling the earth was afforded solemn deliberation here this weekend at a special convention of flying saucer buffs.

Among the nearly 300 delegates 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.

THE SPACE buffs, who assembled in a cavernous establishment called the Blarney Castle, weren't much impressed with Thursday's Soviet moon landing, but they were awed and confused by what they reported to be a sharp increase in flying saucers.

One delegate, Marianne Francis, warned that the sightings could mark the beginning of some "ominous changes" for the earth's population. But the convention chairman, Dr. Frank Stranges, said the "interplanetary visitors" would turn out to be "angelic creatures whose mission is to help mankind."

The delegates were generally well groomed, articulate men and women who could have blended into any PTA meeting. Many were heads of organizations whose members spotted and photographed "unidentified flying objects" and claimed to maintain telepathic communication with space travelers.

NEARLY ALL agreed that what they called the "flying saucer movement" was undergoing sharp expansion. Two delegates announced they were negotiating to purchase radio stations to help transmit their theories. Several flying saucer magazines and hundreds of books were on sale at the convention.

"These people are contactee-oriented," explained Gabriel Green, a serious young man who served as president of the Amalgamated Flying Saucer Clubs of America.

MINNEAPOLIS TRIBUNE
"They accept spacecraft as a fact of life. Their interest is in contacting spacemen directly 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. The 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 Wesley Bateman said he never had met spacemen but that he was in "constant communication with them through telepathy" and offered a program of instruction to other delegates who sought similar contacts. His blonde wife, Jonell, attired in black Leopards, was kept busy signing up "students."

"There is no mystery as to whether the space men are watching us — some have already infiltrated our society," said Bateman. "The mystery is why so many are coming. What's going to happen?"

Flying Saucers
(To the Editor, S.C.M. Post)
Sir,—Citizens beware! This 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 confrontation by paid investigators who are instructed to suppress the authenticity of their investigation.

The UFO Project research has been operative continuously for more than 20 years. The scope and extent of this project is a carefully guarded subject. During that time it has maintained a continuous status of "Classified Information." The only information 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. (Why continue to slap your own face?) For several years actual sightings of spaceships are compiled at Flying Saucer Clubs all over the world. Amalgamated Flying Saucer Clubs of America (AFSCA) maintain a comprehensive information department that registers Club activities, and reports from all over the world. Anyone can write to AFSCA, 2004 N Hoover Street, Los Angeles, California 90027, U.S.A., and receive a concise, conscientious report about any information he is seeking.

## 2 SOUTH AFRICAN POLICEMEN
REPORT SIGHTING OF 'SAUCER'

# It'll be Long Before "Saucer" Is Forgotten

JOHANNESBURG, South Africa-South African police and scientists investigated Thursday a report that a flying saucer-type object had landed on a main highway near Pretoria, the country's administrative capital.

Two patrolling police officers reported seeing the flaming "saucer," about 30 feet in diameter, shortly after midnight. One of them, Koos de Klerk, said that the shiny copper-colored object resembled a giant spinning top.

The 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 also was reported slightly scorched.

Saucer Is Forgotten
THE HERALD-NEWS
By PETER A. DVARACKAS
Herald-News Sports Writer
Many months will pass before
the impact of the strange flying
objects which dominated the
North Jersey skies this wee k
fades into memory.
The bright white disk that
streaked across three counties
and hovered periodically over
the Wanaque 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 Washington D.C. to
probe the UFO sightings.
Dr. George White, 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
Richard Hall, assistant director
of NICAP.
Nightly Vigil
Police at Wanaque, the state's
largest water storage basin, con-
tinue to maintain a nightly vigil
at the headworks, in Ringwood
Avenue and Westbrook Road
to spot that weird disk of light
which was seen as late as Thurs-
day night making sharp dips and
maneuvers over the reservoir.
It was Tuesday at 6:30 p.m.
when residents, motorists, muni-
cipal officials, and police
glanced up at the sky and began
the first chapter of an aerial
mystery which has yet to be
solved.
"Listen . . . this sounds crazy,
but I saw something in the sky.
Do you know what it is?" This
was the question posed to the
police at the North Jersey police
radio hook-up in Pompton Lakes.
The calls came in from Wana-
que, Ringwood, West Milford,
Paterson, Totowa, Wayne and
Butler.
Astounded residents were
searching for an explanation.
Even the police were dumb-
founded. They too saw the white
oval hovering in the heavens
from their prow l cars.
The 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.
Made Several Stops
The 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 Wednesday
morning, it re-appeared over
Wyckoff and five minutes later
it was spied over the reservoir
in Wanaque where police say it

This is a comic strip titled "Brother Juniper" by Fr. Justin McCarthy & Len Reno. The comic depicts two figures, presumably monks, sitting in lawn chairs reading newspapers. One figure is commenting, "These flying saucer stories are getting more ridiculous every day." In the background, there are small figures that resemble aliens. This suggests a humorous commentary on the perceived prevalence and perhaps exaggeration of flying saucer and alien encounter reports.

Spotters Jam Up-County
Roads for UFO Glimpse

POLICE CONSTABLE Donald Cameron made out a report last night and hoped the Chief Constable would believe that he really DID see six flying saucers.

Pc Cameron was at home on sick leave when he looked out a window and saw six glowing objects hovering in the distance. "I thought I was seeing things and called my wife," he said last night. "We watched them for about 30 seconds before they disappeared at speed towards Manchester.

"They were about a mile away. I could see them clearly even though it was a dull day. They were white and glowing.

"One was bigger than the others with a cup-shaped dome - obviously the mother ship. The others were oval," he added.

As he made out his report at his home in Chiltern-road, St. Helens Lancs, Pc. Cameron said: "I suppose I will get some ribbing from the lads, but that is not what worries me... it's what the Chief Constable thinks.

might possibly have been a government experiment in the creation of an anti-gravity machine."

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 Mars.

But this is not the first time a UFO has been sighted over the Wanaque. Some 18 years ago Charles Capen, former chief engineer of the North Jersey District Water 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 Lily Hill in Stonetown and Board Mountain near Sloatsburg Road, according to Charles Theodora.

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 Wana que.

# AIRLINER DETOURS
TO CHASE U.F.O.

DENVER, April 2 (UPI)- A Frontier Air Line pilot interrupted his flight to Denver International Airport to check out a report of an unidentified flying object south of Denver.

The request for the UFO sighting was made to the Air Force Base, which said it had received a number of telephone calls about ob jects over the area.

Warren Heckman of Denver, who was the spot ted colored lights about 20 miles away. He said he closed to within about 100 feet of the lights, which seemed to be attached to a moving obj ect, suddenly went down as if the object had landed.

Heckman circled over the red, green and white lights, which remained stationary. The Denver International Airport said the lights apparently were on a tower in the Rocky Mountains. The people of Palmer Lake, a small community between Den ver and Colorado Springs, also reported seeing the lights. Several newspaper and dozens of other citizens reported sighting three UFOs over the area, according to police.

Ted Stout, a newspaper at radio station WHEX, said he saw two of the objects in the sky over the airport in the east. All were described as red, green and blue pulsating lights.

Reports also came from Air Force reserve pilots based at Youngstown who said they attempted to follow the object but said that its speed esti mated at 100 miles an hour was too slow for their jet trainers.

An East Palestine officer and Portage County Sheriff's Deputy, W. L. Neff said they "played tag" with the mysterious object for 96 miles through eastern Ohio before losing it near Conaway, Pa.

The Federal Aviation Agency at Pittsburgh said its radar recorded nothing unusual.

Air Force UFO report refuted

HILLSDALE, Mich. (UPI) — The Hillsdale County civil defense director today issued a 24-page report challenging an Air Force investigator's conclusion that "swamp gas" caused UFO sightings here last March. He said it was too windy for swamp gas to form.

William Van Horn, who said he and 84 coeds at Hillsdale College watched an unidentified flying object hover outside a dormitory for four hours March 21, said the investigation by Dr. J. Alton Hynek and the Air Force was "very incomplete and merely a token appearance sort of act."

Hynek is a Northwestern University professor who investigates UFO sightings for the Air Force's "Project Blue Book" — the famous study of UFO reports.

Van Horn said in his report, in which he charged that Hynek spent only three hours investigating the Hillsdale sightings, resulted from a seven-week investigation by "my men and myself."

In the report, Van Horn attempted to refute Hynek's theory that swamp gas formed the mysterious object sighted by flashing white lights indicating there was too much wind that night for swamp gas to form. He also said average monthly temperatures proved that swamp gas could not form under the existing conditions.

The report included a detailed chemical report, made by two men described only as Kipling Vandenberg and Jerry Wilson, that contained:

"The area contained an abnormally high amount of methane from some unknown source. The area also strangely contained boron, which was found in both water and soil. These two facts are the only ones which would substantiate the presence of a UFO."

Van Horn said Wilson said they tested soil, plants, animals, minerals, water and the environment of the campus swampland where the sightings occurred.

Another 'UFO' Is Sighted By Woman At Elmer

MILLVILLE, N.J. — Mother South Jersey resident reported seeing a strange, hovering white object in the sky in front of her car as she pulled into her yard on a suburban road not far from Elmer early Wednesday morning.

Mrs. Rosemary Ollrich said she noticed the big white "thing" in front of her car some distance in the air.

"At first I thought it wasn't anything," she said. "But after I turned my car, there it was again. What made me so sure this time there must be something unusual was the way the dogs were b

The photographs, which have baffled local experts, were taken by 16-year-old Brian Pollack from the back room of his Carrington St home.

"I thought I was seeing things," said Brian, telling his story of the weird objects. "I was out in the yard and I woke up about 10 minutes to 4 and looked out of my window to see what the day would be like. That's it and I saw them. They were just over the power lines," he said, pointing in a north-west direction towards the intersection of Carrington St, Terasa Rd and Brooklands Rd. "I was very careful not to trip and set it up beside my bed. I thought I was seeing things-when I looked away I could still see them. Just the same as when you look at the sun for a time."

But his biggest shock came while he was taking the photographs.

When he first saw them, Brian recalled, they were a brownish oval shape. Then they just changed before his eyes to an enlarged circular shape.

"Later the objects reverted back to their original form and disappeared. They just went ... there wasn't a flash or anything."

VERY LOW

During the five minutes the objects were observed, they did not move at all in the sky, the clouds were still, and appeared very low.

Brian used exposures of two, five and 15 seconds on the sequence.

He has a CIBO Pentax Spotmatic camera with a built-in meter which reads light at a distance.

Brian, the son of Mr and Mrs F. E. Pollack, 365 Carrington St, the New Zealand
Terasus Rd sub-station operator, is convinced the objects were solid.

The prints were developed by a New Plymouth chemist.

NO EXPLANATION

The director of the New Plymouth Observatory, Mr D. W. Daniel had no explanation. "I don't dare mention anything about flying saucers," he commented.

"It is quite a scoop if we knew what it was," he said. "It's so definite. So sharp."

Weather experts at the Bell Block Meteorological Station were also just as much in the dark.

They ruled out a met balloon because it was released at 4.50 a.m. on Sunday and even if it was still burning an hour later it would be as high as 20,000 feet.

"There is no met explanation for it at all," said the duty forecaster. "And I don

Ford Says U. S. Public Should Get Answers
BY JOSEPH HEAREST
Special to The New York Times
Washington, March 28-Ex-
pressing a belief that the Amer-
ican public deserves a better
explanation of reports of flying
sauucers and other unidentified
flying objects, Republican
House Leader Gerald R. Ford
(Mich.) today formally re-
quested a congressional investi-
gation.
He does not agree that all of
these reports can or should be
so easily explained away," Ford
said in letters to the
chairmen of the House armed
services and space commit-
tees. "I think there may be
substance to some of these re-
ports."
Rep. L. Mendel Rivers (D.,
S. C.), head of the armed serv-
ices committee, said that be-
fore he makes any decision he
will consult with ranking mem-
bers of Congress on Ford's re-
quest. Rep. George P. Miller
(D., Cal.) said his space com-
mittee will defer to Rivers'
recommendation since it has jus-
tification on the air force's
side.
Charge Parts Hidden
The air force has been in
the business of investigating
UFOs since 1948, and those
who believe there is substance
to the flying saucer reports
charge it has closed its find-
ings in secrecy and engaged in
restricting those who report
sightings.
Ford, whose home state has
been the scene of a rash of re-
ports of UFO reports, said that
more than one explanation has
been given than has been given
by the air force up to now.
An air force consultant who in-
vestigated some of the Michi-
gan reports last week said that
people were seeing swamp gas.
After Ford said last Friday
he thought Congress should
look into the reports he received
numerous telegrams support-
ing his suggestion.

Those puzzling flying saucers invaded Canada last night.

Sightings were reported in Toronto, Hamilton, Sarnia, and Kitchener-Waterloo.

Two University of Toronto engineering students say they saw a bright, whirling object fly across the sky from their rooftop observation point.

And Inglewood, Ont, man described a multi-colored object he saw briefly while driving north on Highway 10 to Caledonia.

"It changed from a deep red or maroon to orange to dull yellow," he said.

"Then it appeared hazy and changed back to deep red again."

In Sarnia, 100 people watched a multi-colored object - officially an unidentified flying object - as it hovered for two hours over the Kettle Point area.
Lawrence Bressette, a storekeeper, said a motorist pointed out the saucer-shaped object to him about 8 p.m.

"I've never seen anything like this," Mr. Bressette said.

He dismissed the idea it could have been swamp gas, the explanation "given by U.S. Air Force consultant, Dr. A.J. Allen Hynek, for similar sightings in the Ann Arbor area of Michigan since March 20.

ANN ARBOR, Mich. (UPI) — At least 40 persons saw an eerie, unidentified flying object land in a swamp near here Sunday night, police said Monday. Twelve witnesses were policemen.

Officers said four sister ships hovered in a quarter-circle above the object until it took off with a warbling sound like the echo of a ricocheting bullet.

Patroon Robert Hunsell of Dexter, a nearby village, said he and other residents of the area saw similar objects circling through the sky near- ly last Monday and Wednesday.

Provincial police appear to have registered their first flying saucer chase.

At 2 a.m. this morning two constables at Three Rivers reported to headquarters that they were chasing a luminous spherical object.

Constables Jacques Marcotte and Ronald Gagnier, said the object was moving 250 feet above the ground 100 yards off the highway to the St. Lawrence River, near Pointe du Lac.

They chased the object for several minutes and then saw it "crash" in tidal flats.

The officers ran to the scene but could not find anything.

In alerting other police posts, the officers termed it an unidentified flying object.

The officer in charge at Montreal headquarters said that police radio communications during the night had been bad due to an unusual amount of static.

He also said a newspaper truck driver had called him to report a "suspicious fireball" that had been following him as he northbound Montreal at about the same time as the police sightings.

The driver said he passed through certain stops on his delivery schedule because the "suspicious fireball" followed his truck along the city streets. He tried to lose it by swerving around intersections but the object kept pace by.

Finally, he said he couldn't see it anymore and returned to his normal route.

Sighting of unidentified flying objects have been occurring frequently throughout the province in the past few weeks.

They described the same noise. Mannor and others said it was like the whistling aliens used on some police cars or a ricocheting bullet.
SIX POLICE cars chased the formation but the objects vanished. Policemen saw the sky and other witnesses except the Mannors could see only lights because of the darkness.

# Civil Defense Director
Watches 'Flying Saucer'

Five sightings were reported on Monday of unidentified flying objects, observed in the sky in the northwest Detroit area.

Northwest Precinct police station had three reports, Schaefer, one, and Palmer Park, one.

On Monday, 7:20 p.m., seventeen year old Mike Woods, 6418 Furst, states that he saw a very high object with white lights heading north from the southwest, in the Furst-Van Buren Avenue area.

Eddie Crunk, 17, 19749 Greenview and his companion, Robert Spallone, 15, 19743 Greenview, observed an object over Crunk's home at about 8:20 p.m. Crunk said that the UFO came from the west, stopped for a moment and then was last seen going east, with lights changing from the colored to green and then amber.

At 9:30 p.m., sixteen-year-old Michael Serna, 12816 Virgil saw something with a white light traveling very fast near Virgil and Glendale. He claims also to have seen it at the same time on Sunday night.

A 39-year-old man reported to the Schaef er precinct that he had observed something with red, yellow and green rotating lights at 11:17 p.m. Stewart Hall, 8549 Abington, 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 in the sky. It appeared to be about 150 yards away, according to the police report and stood motionless over the John Lodge Expressway, near Linwood. It was approximately 500 feet in the air, 9 feet long with a red light on the left and a green light on the 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.

Was 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 a r o u n d 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 authority on these matters because, he says, he met and talked with a Martian once. Also a four-foot man from the Alpha Centauri star system. Also some other unearthly visitors.

SOMETIMES, HE said, he met these flying saucer crewmen by telepathic appointments. These were arranged through associates of his with telepathic talents.

"And once in a while," he said, "they would just call on the P R O J E C T."

Green, who lives in Los Angeles, is the head saucerer - the president - of the Amalgamated Flying Saucers Clubs of America.

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."

WHY DO THEY keep buzzing down here and scaring people? "What 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 explained.

"This is one of the primary reasons why the extra-terrestrials started making visitations in 1947, shortly after we developed this ability - to watch over us and if possible to impart their advanced 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 economic system they call Universal Economics. The economics part of it is what I personally am trying to transmit."

HE SAID 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 Hoover in Los Angeles, "to cut down on the overhead." He said there are clubs in 50 major U.S. cities and abroad, with a total of about 3,500 members. Houston has no club, he said, but he does have some interested Houstonians on his mailing list.

"We 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 he has sighted 85 to 100 spacecraft around Los Angeles over the years and has met "half a dozen or so members of the crews."

BUT GREEN BELITTLED his own experiences.

"They're so insignificant it's hardly worth talking about them," he said. "Some of our members have actually been taken for rides in spacecraft.

"I certainly wouldn't turn down a ride if it were offered me. But 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." He was casually dressed, Green said, and wore a short-sleeve, shimmery, metallic-looking shirt which he said would stop bullets. All in all, a handsome chap, Green said.

"I felt his hair and it was quite coarse and worn in a V-shape down toward the center of the forehead," Green said. "But I rather doubt all Martians wear their hair alike, any more than we do.

"HE SAID THE MARTIAN canals 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 Alpha Centauri man several times — once in the Green home.

"He 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 Albuquerque, for instance, with a crew of four men and five women. They were very beautiful, very well proportioned. Seven to nine feet tall."

Green said he had met other interstellar travelers but would "rather not go into the whole list."

Where did they park their space ships while they were visiting him?

"OH, SOMETIMES 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 belts they wear around the waist to get on down to earth.

"Through these, they can accomplish such miracles as walking on

he was gone. There was no logical place for him to go from that balcony.

Green believes the spacemen are undoubtedly 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."

Apparently they do have lapses, though.

"There was one decision that if any nation on earth fires a nuclear warhead, it will fall back on the people who fired it," Green said. "I don't know what their latest decision has been."

HE EXPLAINED 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.

One of his favorites is the Venusan 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

Two Portage county sheriff's deputies followed a "bright circular" unidentified object Sunday from Atwater, O., to Freedom, Pa., a distance of 85 miles. Deputies Dale Spaur and W. L. Neff were investigating a routine traffic accident at 5 A.M. when they were alerted by radio to be on the lookout for an object heading their way.

Spaur, an Air Force gunner during the Korean War, said the circular object "about 30 to 45 feet in diameter traveled at speeds from 80 to 100 miles an hour."

"It was about 1000 feet in the air and was extremely bright," Spaur radioed to the quarters.

"I had never seen anything like this bright before in my life," he told Deputy Robert Wilson via the radio.

In Benton Harbor, Mich., a flying object described as so bright "You couldn't 10 o k straight at it" was sighted early Sunday near the downtown section of the city.

Three rubbish collectors said they saw the object hover over a motel along the St. Joseph River. The head of the crew, Joseph Franklin, said it was about 15 stories in the air, had a steel-like shell and looked "something like a hot-dog" in shape. He said it had a brilliant directly at it.

Franklin and his crew reported 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 Patrolman Wayne Hoston.

Hoston said the object appeared larger than an airliner and it aveled in a straight line. He said it would change altitude suddenly.

"It was a funny thing," Hus-ton said, "but when the object got too far ahead of us it appeared to stop and wait."

Wilson said at one time Spaur

something like an antenna protruding from the bottom, hovered above the cruiser in which Spaur and Neff were riding.

Wilson said that Spaur and Neff were questioned by an "Air Force colonel" in Freedom.

(Air Force headquarters at Greater Pittsburgh Airport said it had no report on the UFO.)

"The chase lasted about 50 minutes and, in that time, the object was reported seen by at least six or seven other departments, both in Ohio and Pennsylvania," Wilson said.

Neff, a one-time Seabee, agreed with Spaur in the description of the object and added that it "had no wings."

MEMPHIS, Tex., May 17 (AP) — Rural residents told of seeing a cigar-shaped object drop from the sky yesterday, and two men said it caught fire and burned without apparent cause.

Still another farmer in the same vicinity reported he heard an explosion, watched another unidentified flying object fall and picked up a four-foot strip of what appeared to be tin and aluminum.

David Duncan, 23, with Radio Station KGSH in Memphis, related these details:

Mrs. Ernest Lee, whose home is 3 miles southeast of here, spotted something which looked "like two parachutes" hovering in the air about 2½ miles distant at 4:10 p.m.

Duncan and several friends tried to pursue the object, "cone-shaped and silver looking," in a car and it appeared to halt near the Salisbury community 5 miles south of Memphis. As they drew near, however, it swept away at high speed.

J. W. Hatley, a farmer in the Brice community 21 miles west of here, and three other men told of watching minutes later as something "about 20 feet long, 4 to 8 feet wide and shaped like a cigar" plunged to earth.

It bore no markings, they said, and "appeared to have radios and about 20 small batteries on the outside."

"It was big enough to carry a man, and I got the feeling that it did," Hatfield recounted.

Hatley and one of his companions went to notify authorities, leaving two other men on guard. The strange object started smoking, burst into flame and burned, Hatley reported.

# ENCOUNTER WITH A SPACE SHIP
'I Know What I Saw';
Egg-Shaped, Craft

By JIM HAZELWOOD

The so-called Unidentified Flying Objects (UFO's) seen Sunday in Michigan by at least 60 people, recall a bizarre story which appeared in The Tribune 70 years ago.

The date was Nov. 23, 1896, and it reported that many persons saw an "airship" flying over Oakland.

But this date was 10 years before the Wright brothers made the first successful heavier-than-air flight at Kitty Hawk.

Aerial balloons, however, had been known for decades.

The Oakland "airship" was the talk of the town for days and a number of other sightings were reported, from as far away as Red Bluff.

Although the original story said the craft resembled a "huge bird," later sightings described it as egg-shaped with lights at both ends.

It should be borne in mind that shapes of aircraft and estimates 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 Oakland for the last few nights has in the minds of many been conclusively proven. A number of persons whose integrity is unquestionable have seen the strange navigator of the air and this number includes many whose scepticism has been pronounced.

"Last evening at about 7:30 o'clock, the passengers on an Alameda car were startled by the sight of a brilliant stream of light high in the heavens off in the direction of Hayward.

"The passengers distinctly saw the outline of an airship and watched its maneuvers high in the skies. The ship resembles a huge bird in its outlines and seemed to rise and fall in its course. A light streamed from the head of the ship, throwing a white stream of light for several hundred yards.

"As the outlines of the airship were plainly discerned, the passengers in the street car became greatly excited.

"The phenomenon had first been noted by a man who had been idly watching the heavens.

As soon as he perceived the light, he attracted the attention of the other passengers and all, intensely interested, watched the peculiar machine as it made its way through the skies.

"It was high in the heavens. It appeared to be of huge size. When first seen, it seemed to be floating over San Leandro. It moved rapidly, going at least 20 miles an hour. It shot across the skies to the northwest, then it turned quickly and disappeared in the direction of Hayward.

"Not only was the airship seen by the passengers, but many other residents of this city distinctly saw the brilliant light and the huge bird-like body floating in mid-air.

"None of the spectators were acquainted with each other and yet their stories are startlingly similar, agreeing as to time, direction of the airship, and description."

"These facts leave little doubt in the minds of many people that a successful airship has been invented and is navigating the heavens."

HILLSDALE, Mich. (UPT)—A county civil defense director and 87 co-eds said today they watched an eerie, hovering flying object settle in a swampy hollow near a college dormitory last night.

William Vn Horn, 41, Hillsdale county civil defense director for 10 years, said he watched the unidentified object through binoculars for three hour.

It was the second straight night a large number of witnesses reported seeing wiered unidentified flyi ng objects in Southern Michigan. Sunday night a dozen policemen and at least 40 other persons watched a similar object, guarded by four 'sister ships, land in a swamp about 45 miles northeast of here near Ann Arbor, Mich.

SCIENTIFIC CONSULTANT
The Air Force announced it was calling in Dr. H. Allan Hynek, chairman of the Dearborn Observatory at Northwestern University, Evanston, Ill., and scientific consultant to the Air Force's UFO study program, to investigate, the rash of sightings.

By GEORGE GALLUP

More than five million Americans claim to have seen something they believe to be a "flying saucer." And, about 10 times as many people - or nearly half of the U.S. adult civilian population - believe that these frequently reported flying objects, while not necessarily "saucers," are real and not just a figment of the imagination.

These are the principal findings in a nationwide Gallup survey of the American people on this subject, when survey percentages are translated into numbers of people.

Since late in the 1940's, scientists and military officials have been investigating hundreds of reported sightings of unidentified flying objects. A recent rash of sightings prompted a Congressional hearing last month and also this special survey.

How do typical Americans feel about flying saucers? How many people have seen them? Are they real or imaginary? Do people believe there is life, as we know it, on other planets?

More than 150 Gallup Poll interviewers have been out questioning typical Americans-men and women, people of all ages in all educational levels and in every region of the nation. Tabulation of their statements and views reveals the following:

First, almost everyone (96 per cent) has at least heard or read something about flying saucers. For something so highly publicized as these objects, this finding may, at first, not seem unusual. However, in terms of the history of the public's awareness of other incidents or events, this figure is extraordinarily high. In fact,
this awareness score is one of the highest in the 30-year history of the Gallup Poll.

Are flying saucers a hoax? Philip Easter of Baltimore, Md., told one of our interviewers this story: "It was dark and I had just come out of a building. I looked up and saw this object hovering in the dark sky above me. It was very bright and stayed in about the same position for several minutes. At first I thought it was a planet, but I knew it couldn't be because of the way it moved."

Harold Stoops tells of the time last June when he was driving through Topeka, Kansas: "It was very late - about 2:30 in the morning. I saw this round-shaped object in the sky ahead of me. It was extremely bright and I could notice a greenish hue. By the time I stopped the car and got out, it had disappeared."

A New Jersey housewife was startled during the night recently: "It was about three in the morning," she relates, "I was suddenly awakened by a very bright light outside. I got up and looked out the window. The whole area seemed to be lit up like a phosphorous fire. I could hear strange sounds like the ringing of bells. I know it sounds strange, but the next day several people about 20 miles away reported a similar experience and at almost exactly the same time."

Further analysis of these data show that flying saucer sightings are not necessarily a phenomenon of certain population groups. Similar proportions of college educated persons, and those who have not gone beyond grade school claim to have seen them.

Real or imaginary? Are flying saucers real or imaginary? We asked this question, with surprising results. Although the Air Force claims that nearly all of the reported "saucer" sightings are easily explained, as meteors, weather balloons, swamp gasses, planets, etc., more Americans think they are "real" than believe they are "imaginary". Forty-six per cent (or about half of the U.S. adult population) hold this opinion, while 29 per cent describe them as "a figment of the imagination." The rest cannot make up their minds.

This represents quite a change in public attitudes toward the credibility of "flying saucers" since a Gallup survey conduct ed almost 20 years ago. At that time-shortly after the flying saucers were first noted-four out of every ten called the saucers either a hoax or the product of some overheated imagination. In 1950, another Gallup survey showed that attitudes had begun to change. More persons 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 important to note that while most of the reported sightings have been explained, according to Air Force reports, there are still many sightings without explanation. Persons with college training are more likely to believe in the reality of flying saucers than are persons with a high school background, or less.

Among those persons who believe flying saucers have an explanation, (that is, those who think they are "real"), here is how they describe them:
1) Experimental projects, Air Force tests
2) Actual vehicles from outer space
3) Burning gas, "swamp gas"
4) Meteors, shooting stars
5) Weather balloons
6) Supernatural revelations

Those who believe they are from outer space account for per cent.

Life on Other Planets? Do people who are living in the space age believe there is life, as we know it, on other planets?

Many scientific authorities believe that intelligent life must exist elsewhere in the universe because the statistical odds are large that there are millions of planets in the universe enough like our own to support life, as we know it.

One person in every three (33 per cent) who participated in this survey said they believe life does exist on other planets.

Again, persons with the most education are most inclined to believe in the existence of intelligent life on other planets.

Sheriff Aides Chase A UFO; Were 'Close'

RAVENNA, Ohio (AP)-"We were close, closer than I ever want to be again," said a deputy sheriff who chased an unidentified flying object from Ohio into Pennsylvania.

Hundreds of persons in both states reported seeing the "brilliant and shiny" object early Sunday morning.

Police Chief Gerald Buchert of Mantua, about eight miles north of Ravenna, said he took a picture of the object from his front yard but the Air Force told him not to release it.

Buchert said it looked like "two table saucers put together."

Portage County Deputy Sheriff Dale Spaur said he and his partner, W.L. Neff, "were close" to the object in separate cars and chased it 86 miles from the ground Spaur said an hour and a half, from near Ravenna to Conway, Pa., near Pittsburgh.

Spaur said he clocked it speeds up to 103 miles per hour. From the ground Spaur said looked like the head of a flashlight, about 40 feet wide and feet high.

Spaur said the lines of the object were very distinct. "Somebody had control over it," he said. "It wasn't just floating around. It can maneuver."

Newark Valley-Gary
T. Wilcox is a young man
dogged by rumors.
People say his dairy
farm has gone bust be-
cause nothing will grow
on the land.
Others who meet him on the
street express surprise, say-
ing they'd heard he was in a
New York City hospital suf-
fering from radiation burns.
One story has it 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 handsome, 28-year-old
farmer says none of these
tales is true.
But the strangest of all, and
the basis for the rumors, is
his encounter with a space
ship and his talk with its eerie
crew 17 months ago.
That happened, Mr. Wilcox
says:
"I know what I saw for
two hours. I was talking with



The farmer was in a hayloft, pitching down feed for the noontime 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 working at another job, too."

Mr. Wilcox has an afternoon and evening job as janitor at Berkshire School.

"I don't know where all these stories are coming from now. I thought it was all over last year, but now everybody is talking again.

"The best one is about me being in a New York City hospital with radiation burns. People have said they heard it on the radio. I've never been in a hospital in my life.

"Then some woman put in the newspaper that there was no grass growing where that thing landed. There was never much growing there. But there's corn now.

"Nobody ever talked to me

two hours. I was talking with them and even joking with them."

Mr. Wilcox touched the metallic-like, egg-shaped craft and heard its strangelygarbed occupants explain in smooth English they were from Mars, he said. When he turned to get them a bag of fertilizer, as they requested, the ship lifted off the ground and was out of sight in seconds, he recalled.

In the weeks after he reported the incident to the Tioga County Sheriff's Department, curious people visited his farm by the dozen.

They included men who said they were from government agencies and others who identified themselves as officials of the IBM Space Guidance Center in nearby Oswego, the farmer said. Most were just residents who wanted to see the landing spot for themselves.

One man who also claimed to be a saucer-seer told Mr. Wilcox he had hitchhiked from Massachusetts to talk to him. Other space ship fans telephoned him and urged him to join their organizations.

But Mr. Wilcox, who professes he only wants to mind his own business and make a living, steered clear of such affiliations. "He had the telephone removed from his dairy barn because it was ringing so often he couldn't keep up with the chores, he said.

If any responsible agency ever determined exactly what happened in that remote corner of his farm last spring, he has yet to hear about it.

Mr. Wilcox did not seem particularly happy to see a reporter show up at his farm one morning last week. He wasn't rude, either.

When the reporter arrived, GARY WILCOX about these things. They just keep telling stories."

In answer to a question, Mr. Wilcox said his sighting of the mysterious craft and its crew and the widespread speculation over the report has not hurt his personal life.

"I just don't worry about it. I know what I saw and other people have seen things. I even thought somebody was playing a joke on me, but I was in the service for six years and not even jet planes take off that fast."

If he had it to do over again, would he keep the incident a secret?

"No. I've got nothing to hide. I would report it. If I saw another one today I'd do the same thing. Then people would say I'm crazy."

Mr. Wilcox, who is unmarried and lives in the village, feeds and cares for the stock in the mornings. A man whose family lives in the homestead of the 300-acre farm does the milking. Mr. Wilcox also owns a farm near Oswego where he grows feed crops, he said.

He gives the impression that he would like to believe the whole episode was a joke of some type, yet knows it wasn't. He said he thinks that eventually the explanation will be supplied, to him and the rest of the world.

"A man down in Berkshire says he saw something like this recently, too. I'm not the only one."

The two human-like creatures whose features were hidden under uniforms and hoods, may not have been space travelers, he said.

But he has no better explanation.

On his way home, the reporter stopped at a diner and invited flying saucer conversation from the waitress.

"That's where they say it landed," she said, pointing out the window. "Right over the hill. I don't think he was stretching the truth. He's a reliable man and if he says he saw it, I believe him. They say there's a spot up there where no grass will grow because of the fuel it was using."

Hynek's role is scientific consultant to the Air Force's "Project Blue Book," the official label of the Air Force program to track down reports of unidentified flying objects.

Authorities and crowds of curious residents braved thunder showers Monday night to comb the swampy area near Ann Arbor where the object was seen Sunday night.

Washtenaw County Sheriff Douglas J. Harvey said deputies spent most of the night searching and checking out reports from persons who thought they had spotted the object again.

The investigation began when at least 12 policemen and 40 other persons said they watched a weird flying object, guarded by four sister ships, land in the swamp late Sunday night.

The sighting was only the most recent of several in Southern Michigan and other parts of the nation during the past few weeks.

The eyewitness accounts Monday night's incident included a man who said he and his son can to within 500 yards of a mysterious object which hovered above the ground then shot away at their approach.

Two In County Claim They Saw 'Glowing' UFO

At least two Ventura County people saw a glowing object Wednesday night, shooting downward over the Point Mugu area.

Mrs. Marvin Miller of 196 Pacific St., Ventura, said today that she spotted the object at 8:35 p.m. Wednesday as she and her husband were returning from Los Angeles.

She said that she noticed it as they were driving through Thousand Oaks. "It looked like an airplane in a dive at first," Mrs. Miller said. "but then I saw a glowing tail and sparks began to shoot off. This dispelled my idea about an airplane."

At the same time, about 20 miles to the north, a Fillmore man saw what appeared to be a plane. "It was in a dive," said Alvin Caples of 831 Olive St., Fillmore.

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 plant 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.

Sir:
For the past twenty years the United States has been having an increase in the problem of the U.F.O. or "Flying Saucers" and nothing is being done about it,as it should be.
The Air Force has maintained that the sightings have been gas,light,weather,etc. but by talking to some of the people that have seen U.F.O.'s I'm wondering if the Air Force isn't lying.
I'm not the only one wondering this, for the people that I have talked to say that after the Michigan sightings and the others they would not report it to the Air Force if they did see a U.F.O.
Reports say that even F.B.I. Agents have seen U.F.O.'s and this has been denied by the Air Force.
The report recently about the police officer in Ohio or Penn. having serious family trouble as well as being ridiculed by people because of his sighting,along with a fellow police officer,of a U.F.O.
I see by this that the faith in our Air Force is beginning a decline and if this is so then we may be putting our selves in the terrible position,as did Nazi Germany in the 1930's.
I wish to know if your agents have seen any U.F.O's

Sincerely,
Paul L. Wright

Re Bureau Bulletins No. 57 dated 10/1/47, and No. 38 dated 3/25/49, entitled "FLYING DISCS.

Enclosed are copies of an article entitled "Armed Forces - Focus on UFO", which was published in the This World supplement of the San Francisco Examiner & Chronicle, Sunday, October 16, 1966.

This article deals with the current controversy over the existence or nonexistence of flying saucers or Unidentified Flying Objects (UFOs), and quotes Michigan's Congressional Representative GERALD FORD as suggesting that Congress look into UFOs; also it announces that the Air Force, which is charged with investigating UFOs, has commissioned the University of Colorado and Physics Professor EDWARD U. CONDON to conduct an in-depth study of flying saucers for the next 18 months, at an estimated cost of $300,000.

The article also points out that since last summer pressure has been mounting for the establishment of an independent, civilian controlled investigative agency to look into the UFO problem.

Also, for the Bureau's information, there was recently published (first printing June 1966) a book entitled "Flying Saucers - Serious Business", Lyle Stuart, Inc., publishers, authored by Frank Edwards. This book is now in its third edition and is available in paperback, published by Bantam Books, and it is probably a contributing factor to the current controversy.

In this book author Edwards points out that flying saucers were observed in the spring of 1946, in Scandinavia and Russia (which he points out is about a year from the date of the testing of the Alamogordo atomic bomb), and the book

documents many reports throughout the world of UFOs since that date, and claims that 1965 was the year of the greatest number of UFO sightings and that these were observed by multiple witnesses. It is author Edwards' contention that UFOs are space vehicles sent to observe activities on earth and the Air Force, which is charged with the responsibility of investigating UFOs, has deliberately withheld information and given misleading explanations because it fears a mass panic by the public if the public were told the truth.

The book describes UFOs as polished metal objects, radiating heat and light (sufficient to have burned witnesses who were too near), and emitting some force field that interferes with electromagnetic instruments and power sources. Colors range from brilliant white to dull reds and brilliant orange. Some objects have carried blinking lights. There are three basic shapes: 1) zeppelin-shaped ships up to 300 feet long; 2) disk-shaped objects ranging from a few feet in diameter to 100 feet, with many reported at about 30 feet diameter; and 3) egg-shaped objects, which according to the author are the ones most recently sighted.

According to the book, the objects move silently and attain fantastic speeds, yet can hover motionless in mid-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 some cases has left the ground beneath them scorched.

Many of the persons named in the book who have reported them are reliable individuals, including law enforcement officers, military personnel on official duty, military pilots, commercial airline pilots, civilian defense officials, etc. A number of photographs of the objects have been reproduced in the book, some reportedly taken by reputable persons. Many reported sightings are from atomic and missile research areas.

Wreckage of crashed saucers has been reportedly recovered on at least three occasions, in one case described as a magnesium alloy, in another as pure magnesium, and in a third case, attributed to an official of the Canadian government, the material was described as an exceptionally hard unknown metal, actually a matrix of magnesium orthosilicate which contained thousands of 15-micron metal spheres throughout, and showing evidence of micro-meteorites on its surface.

SF 62-2927

A few witnesses have reported seeing crewmen who hand landed from the objects, who are described as three and a half to four feet tall, wearing what appear to be space suits and helmets.

Author Edwards concludes this book with a prediction that in the near future UFOs will make an "overt landing" or deliberate contact with earth.

A copy of this letter is being directed to Denver, in view of the contract awarded to Dr. EDWARD U. CONDON.

The above is being called to the Bureau's attention in view of the press report of mounting pressure for a civilian controlled investigative agency to handle UFO matters.

## ARMED FORCES

## Focus on UFO

Winking, blinking and nodding — red lights over Pasadena, blue lights over Greensboro, silver cigars over Detroit — people kept seeing strange flying objects, and officials kept saying nothing was out there.

But in recent years, and particularly since last summer, the pressure had been mounting for either a full-scale Congressional investigation or for the establishment of an independent, civilian-controlled investigatory agency.

It had been a big year for Unidentified Flying Objects. The sightings had come in bunches, the bulk of them last spring and summer. And the reports had come from all over.

## "Like Neon Lamps"

Among the most intriguing
items in this year's crop:

- At Milan, Michigan, 15 miles south of Ann Arbor, bluish-yellow bars of light were spotted, looking "like neon lamps dangling in the sky."

- In East Delhi, Mich., a 15-year-old boy called in to report seeing lights in the sky alternately standing still and moving, sometimes flashing on and off.

- In Altadena and San Marino, Calif., police switchboards logged dozens of calls after a pair of red lights in the sky were reported by residents.

	- In Toledo, Ohio, officials at the local airport received seven calls from persons who said they saw a glowing object that was red, green and white.

		- In suburban Detroit, a man saw a noiseless, wingless, cigar-shaped flying object.

		- In Bryan, Texas, residents said they heard a star-like object purr.

		- Over Valdese, N.C., a "glowing blue thing" exploded, then lit up the town like a giant flashbulb.

Sometimes the alleged sightings spilled over into the bizarre. A space ship full of little men allegedly landed in a farm yard near Hopkinsville, Kentucky. The little men glowed, and they were described as "three feet tall, with eyes like saucers and hands like claws."

A grain buyer in Nebraska said he was invited into a space ship where he chatted with four men and two women. They spoke only broken English—but fluent High German which, as it happened, was the grain buyer's native tongue.

## Silvery Cigar

Nor did America have any corner on the UFO market. In Northern Ireland, Tom Hutchinson saw a saucer drop into a peat bog near his home in Moneymore. It was eggshaped, three feet in di-

ameter, 18 inches high. It be-
gan to spin and Hutchinson
grabbed it. He was carrying
it to the police, who de-
scribed him as "level-headed
and God-fearing," when the
thing twisted out of his hands
and got away.

And in Warminster, England, a city council worker said he saw a silvery cigar shape drifting over the village downs. After a time, he said, it seemed to stretch. Then it seemed to divide amidships with a flash of orange light, although there was no noise.

## Flaming Object

Not all the sightings could be easily written off as the phantasmagoria of kooks, cranks and drunks. And, unless one subscribed to a theory of mass hallucination, it was difficult to explain away simultaneous sightings confirmed by many rational witnesses — such as the flaming object that was seen last April by thousands of East Coast residents from Washington to Boston and even temporarily disrupted a ball game between the Chicago White Sox and the Washington Senators in Washington, D. C.

Or the incident in Hills-

dale, Michigan last March, in which a Civil Defense Director, an assistant dean, and 87 coeds reported that they had seen a glowing object zip past their college dormitory and hover in a swamp for hours. Witnesses said they watched from the second floor of the Hillsdale College girls dormitory as the object wobbled, wavered, glowed eerily and once zipped right at a dormitory window before stopping suddenly.

## A Meteor?

The Air Force, charged
with investigating every one

This World, Sunday, October 16, 1966

S. F. Sunday Examiner & Chronicle

62-83894-451
ENCLOSURE

of the 11,000 sightings since
1947, did have some explanations. The mysterious
flaming object in the East
was "probably a meteor."

As for Michigan's much-publicized and plentiful unidentified flying objects, they turned out to be monkeyshines instead of moonships: "Unidentified college boys" playing pranks with flares to frighten the girls in the dormitories, came the august report from a distinguished astronomer called in by the Air Force to investigate the Hillsdale affair.

Every report of a "flying saucer" had ostensibly been checked out by the Air Force's special squad known as "Project Blue Book," although the staff was woefully small. Of the 10,147 sightings since 1947, the Air Force insisted that only 646 remain unexplained — and most of these because of insufficient information. The others have been attributed to planes, balloons, astronomical causes, missiles, swamp gas, meteors, fireworks and, in some cases, to hallucinations and psychological reasons.

## Ball Lightning?

Philip Klass, avionics edi-
tor of Aviation Week & Space
Technology magazine,
recently proposed some other

explanations. Klass, an electronics engineer, said a form of "ball lightning," generated by high tension power lines, could explain the phenomena.

Many of the sightings, said Klass, occurred along or very near high-tension lines where luminous balls of ionized air could be generated under certain conditions.

## 'No Threat'

The main conclusions reached by the Air Force were:

- "No unidentified flying objects reported, investigated and evaluated by the Air Force have ever given any indication of a threat to our national security."

"There has been no evidence submitted to or discovered by the Air Force that sightings represent technological developments or principles beyond the range of present day scientific knowledge."

"There has been no evidence that sightings categorized as unidentified are extraterrestrial vehicles."

Major Donald Keyhoe, however, was unconvinced. Major Keyhoe, USMC (retired), director of the National Investigations Committee on Aerial Phenomena (NICAP), a private space watching organization, accused the Air Force of conducting a long-term whitewash on the UFO question.

It was Keyhoe's theory that the Air Force was withholding information for fear of causing public panic. UFOs, insisted the Major, who had never seen one, were of extraterrestrial origin and the Air Force feared that the

public could not accept this knowledge. "They won't give

you details," he complained.
"If they did, many of their
explanations would fall flat."

And Keyhoe could also claim a powerful ally in

Michigan's Gerald Ford, the House Republican leader, who suggested it would be "a very wholesome thing" for Congress to look into unidentified flying objects. Such an investigation. Ford suggested, would make the American people "feel better."

## Study in Depth

Whether or not that was so, the Air Force last week took definite steps to make itself feel better. Fed up with investigating reports of glowing, flying, zooming, winking, awesome, blinking, streaking, hovering things, the Air Force last week decided to bail itself out of all responsibility for future conclusions concerning UFOs.

## The Air Force announced

that it had commissioned the University of Colorado to conduct an "in-depth" study of flying saucers for the next 18 months. The director of the study (expected to cost $300,000) would be Dr. Edward U. Condon, former director of the National Bureau of Standards, and now a physics professor at Colorado.

To satisfy the skeptics, and insure the study's objectivity, Colorado would select several other universities to take part in the independent investigation, with about 100 scientists participating.

And in case that wasn't enough, the National Academy of Sciences also agreed to appoint a panel to review the Colorado report.

On October 21, 1966, captioned individual telephonically contacted the Bureau and spoke with SA Thomas B. Coll of the Crime Research Section.

He advised that he is a free-lance writer and is working on a story for a TV production concerning unidentified flying objects. He stated that he has been in personal contact with a former Air Force officer who uses the alias of Mel Noel concerning unidentified flying objects and that it is the TV producer's intention to use this individual in the forthcoming TV show. He advised that Noel is not the individual's true name and inquired as to whether the FBI could advise him of Noel's real identity.

Moss was advised that the FBI could not be of any assistance to him and that all information in FBI files is confidential. He was also advised that the investigation of unidentified flying objects is not, and never has been, a matter within the investigative jurisdiction of the FBI.

Bufiles contain no information which can be identified with Moss.

Dear Sir,

About two years ago or so I wrote to you and asked you, to the best of my recollection, why agents of you Bureau investigated reported landings of unidentified flying objects and whether data regarding their findings was available. You replied saying that agents investigated these cases to determine whether any Federal law had been broken and that their findings were confidential as were all other FBI records.

Since receiving your letter which was placed in my records, many of my records including your letter were destroyed recently in a fire at my home and I would therefore be grateful if, for the purposes of my new records, confirm your letter of 1964/5 if the situation is still the same.

Your letter of January 20th has been received.

In response to your inquiry, the FBI has not conducted an investigation as you mentioned inasmuch as this would not come within our investigative jurisdiction. The presence of an Agent was simply to determine whether or not any violation may have occurred in which the FBI would have an interest, and for no other reason.

While I would like to be of assistance to you, the files of the FBI must be maintained as confidential in accordance with regulations of the Department of Justice and are available for official use only. In view of this, I am sure you will understand why I cannot be of any further assistance in this instance.

Dear Sir;

I have been Police Chief of Princeton, W. Va. for a number of years and have been a member of that department for 22 years.

Sir I mention the above so that you will not think an idiot is writing.

You seemingly do not know or utterly disregard the following subject. I had hoped that you might make a statement before now on this subject. I have waited many years to see your opinion in print, but nothing of the sort has happened.

I am speaking of the UFO's or unidentified flying objects before long and it is a matter of time you are going to be scooped so to speak on this subject. Sir I happen to know they exist nI have personally seen two of them. One of these sightings under low cloud cover in daylight. (I am not sure as to the cloud height). The other at prehaps two thousand feet altitude and appx.one mile off.

You may not be interested? But I think this may be vital to the security of the United States and if it is vital I am sure that you are now familiar with and working on this problem.

B

If I am correct and these things do land I am greatly con-cerned as to what kind of reception they might receive from the inhabitance of this country. I am convinced after a great deal of thought that someone of your standing in this country should let the people know what is happening as regards these things.

At 4:10 a.m., January 18, 1967, James C. Collins, 212 Sharon Drive, Chesapeake, Virginia, telephone 547-4648, advised that he desired to report that he had observed a large oblong-shaped object which alighted in the street in front of him when he was on his way home from his television repair shop, the Oak Grove T. 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.. He stated he was telephoning from his workshop but had no recollection of being elsewhere between 8:00 p.m. and 4:00 a.m.

The above is being furnished for your information.

NOTE: Collins furnished information to night supervisor SA
A. R. Ware, Special Investigative Division. A check of Bureau
indices did not disclose any information which could be identified
with Collins.

Dear Sir, this letter is in way of clarification and to enlarge upon my accident report and the remarks contained therein dated this date and delivered to you personally.

The laser ray, or cobalt ray is a self enshrouding ray, and is similar in use to a cocoon around a silk worm. The entire body is enclosed and the entire nervous system can be manipulated to a lesser or greater degree of proficiency than is normal. Visions of flying objects are merely faulty vision-fully controlled and is very real to that individual experiencing the phenomena. Breathing and heartbeat can be

[Any smell, taste, hearing by sound or word, sight can be controlled by vision blocks or intensity of clarity or pin point control of eye direction itself. Any physical sensation can be duplicated.

[Any type machine can be manipulated, destroyed or damaged from unexplainable reasons or sources. This means any part or component of any part of that machine or motor--regardless of kind or type. Any ignition system can be shorted at random. Previously the method used was connecting the ray to electric or telephone lines, which gave access to the monitoring of anyones thoughts wherever he may be, particularly while at work at your desk. Thoughts used on the highway while driving were monitored by equipment carried in trucks, rental trailors, autos, etc. Much of this equipment is from out of state, particularly California, used in the valley by non-tourists who are here for reasons extending over 30 days and who do not pay for Texas plates.

SUBJECT: PAUL L. PEYERL
INFORMATION CONCERNING

FLYING SAUCERS

A review of the Miami indices revealed information reflecting subject appeared at the Miami Office on July 24, 1959, and volunteered to return to Austria as an intelligence agent. His expressed motivation was to do something to repay the debt he felt he owed the United States. He was afforded the Washington, D. C. Headquarters address of the Central Intelligence Agency and told his inquiry should be directed there.

Also, on July 4, 1961, he appeared at the Miami Office and gave an incoherent story of recently meeting an individual who asked him to kill his mother. PEYERL appeared to be somewhat bewildered and continuously gazed away from the interviewing Agent.

During his most recent visit to the Miami Office, PEYERL seemed genuinely concerned about the existence of the object he allegedly photographed during November, 1944. He exhibited no emotional nor mental disorder and appeared to be rational.

In view of recent publicity afforded UFO sightings, some apparently by responsible sources, this information is submitted to the Bureau for consideration of transmittal to the U. S. Air Force.

On April 26, 1967, PAUL L. PEYERL, 1430 Southwest 76th Street, Miami, Florida, appeared at the Miami Office and furnished the following information relating to an object, presently referred to as an unidentified flying object, he allegedly photographed during November, 1944:

BEK.

Sometime during 1943, he graduated from the German Air Academy and was assigned as a member of the Luftwaffe on the Russian Front. Near the end of 1944, he was released from this duty and was assigned as a test pilot to a top secret project in the Black Forest of Austria. During this period he observed the aircraft described above. It was saucer shaped, about twenty-one feet in diameter, radio controlled, and mounted several jet engines around the exterior portion of the craft. He further described the exterior portion as revolving around the dome in the center which remained stationary. It was PEYERL's responsibility to photograph the object while in flight. He asserted he was able to retain a negative of a photograph he made at 7,000 meters (20,000 feet). A Xerox copy of the negative, as furnished by PEYERL, appears on the last page of this communication. Also, a still photograph he allegedly made "at the risk of my life", illustrating the object parked in a hanger, appears on the last page.

According to PEYERL, the above aircraft was designed and engineered by (First Name Unknown) KUEHR, a German engineer whose present whereabouts is unknown to him. He assumed KUEHR was taken into custody by Allied Forces upon the termination of hostilities. PEYERL stated KUEHR unsuccessfully attempted to avoid the German draft, but was apprehended by the Gestapo

RE: PAUL L. PEYERL
INFORMATION CONCERNING

in Vienna, Austria, sometime during late 1943 or early 1944. PEYERL also assumed the secrets pertaining to this aircraft were captured by Allied Forces. He said this type of aircraft was responsible for the downing of at least one American B-26 airplane. He furnished the following fuel and engine data:

"....Fuel mixture of N2H4O in Methyl Alcohol (CH3OH) rather than 'oxygen-holding' mixture of hydrogen peroxide H2O2 in water. 7m 1,3m high two rocket motors; smooth flow, rotary drive over 2,000 meters per second...."

PEYERL said he copied this data from a board located in the hanger area.

PEYERL asserted he was shot down by the British on March 14, 1945, after having been reassigned to the Western Front. He was held prisoner by the British in London and later in Brussels until his release in 1946. He departed for the United States from Bremerhaven, Germany, on December 26, 1951; entering the United States in New Jersey on January 7, 1952, and was subsequently naturalized in Miami during 1958. He is presently employed as a mechanic at Eastern Airlines, Miami, Florida. He related he was born May 3, 1924, in Austria.

PEYERL stated he has withheld this information because he assumed the United States possessed it. He has become increasingly concerned because of the unconfirmed reports concerning a similar object and denials the United States has such an aircraft. He feels such a weapon would be beneficial in Vietnam and would prevent the further loss of American lives which was his paramount purpose in contacting the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI).

PEYERL reiterated he has the original negatives of both photographs. He said the shots were taken at a thirty second time exposure.

He is presently employed as a mechanic at Eastern Airlines, Miami, Florida. He related he was born May 3, 1924, in Austria,

PYERL stated he has withheld this information because he assumed the United States possessed it. He has become increasingly concerned because of the unconfirmed reports concerning a similar object and denials the United States has such an aircraft. He feels such a weapon would be beneficial in Vietnam and would prevent the further loss of American lives which was his paramount purpose in contacting the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI).

PEYERL reiterated he has the original negatives of both photographs. He said the shots were taken at a thirty second time exposure.

RE: PAUL L. PEYERL
INFORMATION CONCERNING

On April 26, 1967, PAUL L. PEYERL, 1430 Southwest 76th Street, Miami, Florida, appeared at the Miami Office and furnished the following information relating to an object, presently referred to as an unidentified flying object, he allegedly photographed during November, 1944:

Sometime during 1943, he graduated from the German Air Academy and was assigned as a member of the Luftwaffe on the Russian Front. Near the end of 1944, he was released from this duty and was assigned as a test pilot to a top secret project in the Black Forest of Austria. During this period he observed the aircraft described above. It was saucer shaped, about twenty-one feet in diameter, radio controlled, and mounted several jet engines around the exterior portion of the craft. He further described the exterior portion as revolving around the dome in the center which remained stationary. It was PEYERL's responsibility to photograph the object while in flight. He asserted he was able to retain a negative of a photograph he made at 7,000 meters (20,000 feet). A Xerox copy of the negative, as furnished by PEYERL, appears on the last page of this communication. Also, a still photograph he allegedly made "at the risk of my life", illustrating the object parked in a hanger, appears on the last page.

According to PEYERL, the above aircraft was designed and engineered by (First Name Unknown) KUEHR, a German engineer whose present whereabouts is unknown to him. He assumed KUEHR was taken into custody by Allied Forces upon the termination of hostilities. PEYERL stated KUEHR unsuccessfully attempted to avoid the German draft, but was apprehended by the Gestapo

RE: PAUL L. PEYERL
INFORMATION CONCERNING

in Vienna, Austria, sometime during late 1943 or early 1944.
PEYERL also assumed the secrets pertaining to this aircraft
were captured by Allied Forces. He said this type of aircraft
was responsible for the downing of at least one American B-26
airplane. He furnished the following fuel and engine data:

"...Fuel mixture of N2H4O in Methyl Alcohol (CH3OH) rather than 'oxygen-holding' mixture of hydrogen peroxide H2O2 in water. 7m 1,3m high two rocket motors; smooth flow, rotary drive over 2,000 meters per second...."

PEYERL said he copied this data from a board located in the hanger area.

PEYERL asserted he was shot down by the British on March 14, 1945, after having been reassigned to the Western Front. He was held prisoner by the British in London and later in Brussels until his release in 1946. He departed for the United States from Bremerhaven, Germany, on December 26, 1951; entering the United States in New Jersey on January 7, 1952, and was subsequently naturalized in Miami during 1958. He is presently employed as a mechanic at Eastern Airlines, Miami, Florida. He related he was born May 3, 1924, in Austria.

PEYERL stated he has withheld this information because he assumed the United States possessed it. He has become increasingly concerned because of the unconfirmed reports concerning a similar object and denials the United States has such an aircraft. He feels such a weapon would be beneficial in Vietnam and would prevent the further loss of American lives which was his paramount purpose in contacting the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI).

PEYERL reiterated he has the original negatives of both photographs. He said the shots were taken at a thirty second time exposure.

This document contains neither recommendations nor conclusions of the FBI. It is the property of the FBI and is loaned to your agency; it and its contents are not to be distributed outside your agency.



The image is not a chart. It appears to be a sketch or drawing on aged paper. The main elements visible are:

*   **A rectangular border:** Suggesting a framed picture or page.
*   **Abstract or textured shapes:** Resembling clouds, landmasses, or geological formations.
*   **Circular patterns:** Located in the lower part of the drawing.
*   **Holes in the paper:** Two prominent black holes are visible, as well as smaller specks.
*   **An arrow:** A small, hand-drawn arrow is present on the right side.

The image is not a chart. It is a sketch, possibly of an animal or a creature, enclosed in a rectangular frame. There is a handwritten annotation "Top" with an arrow pointing away from the frame, and a small notation ".3*" below the frame. A blue rectangle with "Possible Image" is superimposed on the lower left corner.

The image is not a chart. It appears to be a stylized or abstract depiction of clouds and a circular object, possibly a planet or a celestial body. The style is reminiscent of a woodcut or a heavily textured print, with strong contrasts between light and dark areas. The overall impression is atmospheric and somewhat surreal.

BOTTOM

The image is not a chart. It is a black and white photograph of a shadowy, elongated object supported by two visible legs. The object appears to have a bulbous central section and round protrusions at either end. The background is textured.

## Purpose and scope

This magazine has been dedicated to
MR. GEORGE ADAMSKI.

Mr. Adamski launched the IGAP - International Get Acquainted Program - in 1959, based on the philosophy that people in all parts of the world should be given the opportunity of knowing what is going on everywhere in the field of flying saucers. His hope was that as many as possible would discover the truth of the present age and turn to face the time to come - to learn to accept, through conviction, the fact that we are all citizens of the Cosmos and Children of the Cosmic Power whose Laws run through the entire Cosmos. These Laws we can learn to comprehend through study and understanding of the »Science of Life« brought to our attention by the presence of friendly visitors from other worlds.

The magazine is sent to civil and military authorities all over the world, to leaders in the United Nations, in the Vatican, in scientific circles, and to Press, radio and TV authorities.

The purpose of this magazine is to bring to everyone, everywhere, news of events from all quarters of the globe in all its varied aspects. This means any news that can possibly be of value in our endeavour to bring to mankind an understanding of what is going on in our world all the time. We shall try to detect any and every move in the direction of that truth which we have accepted, but which is not yet officially accepted or recognized in broader circles:

1. People from other worlds in our system are visiting our planet.

2. People from other worlds are in contact with certain political and scientific circles in East and West.

3. People from all walks of life, official and unofficial, all over the world, have been contacted by people from other worlds; such contacts have been kept secret so far.

4. The philosophy brought to the world by Mr. George Adamski is considered and aid helping to uncover the truth of our origin and our future destiny.

The magazine will make no attempt whatsoever to fight anyone, in spite of any action which might be launched against it. Only the truth, whatever its guise, will be brought to bear, to allow each to decide for himself what he can and will accept in this wonderful world on his march forward to new experiences.

This magazine is non-political, non-religious, non-sectarian and non-profit-making. We hope that you may profit from reading it, and that you will tell as many as possible about it, — especially if you find it of value. Please write to us if you find it without value or if you have any suggestions or comments to make.

Sincerely yours,
The Editors.

at home and watch your favourite television programme. Then you will forget all about it. But do you ever wonder what becomes of old television programmes – apart from the ones they show on Sundays?! Do they just fade out and vanish – or do they keep travelling through space for ever, perhaps to be picked up by creatures on other planets? Fantastic – – but scientists think it is possible. After all, we here in Britain were able to watch the Olympic Games in Japan via a satellite in outer space.

"Some scientists even think that weird cracklings and gibberish that occasionally come in on radio and TV programmes are really pirate programmes from other planets. And it is true that scientific listening posts have taped some mighty odd sounds from space which could come from some sort of intelligence, somewhere in the Universe."

Back in September, 1953, viewers all over England were amazed when their screens suddenly carried the identification card and call letters of television station KLEE, in Houston, Texas. A freak occurrence? - that's what the experts thought - until radio engineers tried to contact KLEE, thousands of miles away across the Atlantic. »Station KLEE«, they were told, »has been off the air for all of three years, and since that time no KLEE identification card has been shown«. Where had that phantom picture been for three years? Why did it appear in England? And how did it get back from wherever it had been. Nobody knows. So if, tonight, you should see an unidentified object on your screen

To Ufologists, the idea of watching a blank television screen for such phenomena is not so far-out – in fact, it might prove an interesting experiment for those of us who believe such things are possible. Coupled with a telepathic request to our space friends, it might even produce results! That the idea has some scientific backing is shown by a recent article which appeared in the »Ottawa Journal“ viz:

»„Live" TV Coming from Outer Space?«

Salt Lake City (AP) – A distinguished British astro-nomer, Dr. Fred Hoyle, speaks of the possibility of »live« TV from outer space. And by »live« he means people – outer space people, people who may live on planets like ours on the other side of the Milky Way. Hoyle thinks it's highly probable that such planets and people do exist. So do a lot of other scientists.

"They think some of the radio waves hitting the earth right now contain messages from those people and there is some scientific effort under way to decipher these messages, to tune into those radio waves, waves which would also transmit pictures.

»What could we see and hear on this »celestial« television? Hoyle, in his new book, »Of Men and Galaxies« (University of Washington Press), says

some of these outer space civilizations have evolved further than we and would therefore be able to tell us, for example, how to avoid a nuclear war«.

## The Space Brothers Keep Their Word.

As predicted by the Space Brothers in earlier issues of Topside, they are keeping their promise to make themselves seen more and more by the people of Earth. From the increased number of reports of sightings and landings of UFOs all over the world, there can be little doubt that our space friends are now making an all-out effort to awaken us to their reality, and it is becoming daily more obvious that they are prepared to use every peaceful means within their considerable power to achieve their mission of goodwill. Their purpose appears to be two-fold: (1) To prevent a nuclear holocaust which may not only destroy Planet Earth but also produce dire results on the entire Solar System and perhaps even further afield in Outer Space; and (2) To enlighten their more backward Earth Brothers as to the urgent necessity of widening their horizons to encompass knowledge and practice of Cosmic Brotherhood, and the realization that they have moral obligations not only to their own kind but to civilizations on other planets who may have to suffer for Earth's irresponsible actions.

If the powers-that-be on Earth continue to cover-up and disregard the continued efforts of the Space Brothers, then they may expect to receive even more startling and dramatic visitations in the near future.

## EDITORIAL...

"WE ARE NOT OPPOSED TO A COURT JESTER on the green lawns of the Royal Palace, provided he is not taken for an astronomical philosopher – –".

Here, with all the arrogance of the self-opinionated, self-appointed judge, in words of ignorance, mated with bigotry and begotten of an inflated ego-tism, we see a small section of that vociferous but often influential Press opinion which always swallows before it chews.

The occasion was the much-publicised, much-criticised audience of Queen Juliana of the Netherlands accorded to one George Adamski of California, U.S.A., at 11 a.m. on May 18th 1959, at Soestdijk Palace, near Utrecht, Holland.

The vociferous Press opinion in this instance was of the Catholic People's Party newspaper, "Die Volkskrant".

We could imagine the same self-elevated journalist writing: "We are not opposed to a court jester in the private apartments at the Vatican, provided – –", on another May day, of another 11 a.m. audience, much more secret, of much more potential significance, four years later, when Adamski was received at the bed-side of the dying Pope John.

Of the one audience, with a gracious First Lady, the world's sensation tabloids went to town. Lacking the meat of the occasion on which to feast their readers they gave them the bones and the offal, and in the process they soiled and besmirched their own honourable profession.

The second audience was spared this treatment, and still is.

And so we can perceive how some of George Adamski's meetings with the famous received the full blast of publicity, whilst others, conducted in a secret undercurrent of diplomacy peopled with silent couriers and intercontinental briefings, are still, very much, "classified".

Adamski was NEVER afraid of the scoffers and the critics, still less of the faceless spokesmen in authority. With energy which had to be seen to be believed, with courage of conviction based in sure knowledge of his own experiences, and with fortitude distilled from the sweet and the sour of his supporters and his detractors, HE DIDN'T GIVE A DAMN.

He could have written "pot-boilers" of space-fiction in his sunny California, like many of his contemporaries, making a fortune from the credulous. This is shown by the fact that his books became world best-sellers in many languages. Yet in 12 years he only offered TWO AND A HALF BOOKS to the general public. Does this seem like a man who is "on the make?"

ufo contact

No. Instead he pushed and shoved his way into the, many times, inhospitable climate of "expert" analysis and clinical dissection, saying: "Here is my evidence, here is my story – TAKE IT OR LEAVE IT!"

AND HE DIED, DOING JUST THAT.

What kept him going for so long? What kept the flame so bright for those 12-13 long, bitter-sweet years? His tremendous sense of humour? YES! His many thousands of friends and supporters the world

over? YES, THESE ALSO!
But his faith in a DIVINE INTELLIGENCE and sure

knowledge of the existence and the helpful presence
friends from other planets in space, were the Rod
of good, spiritually- and physically-healthy human
and the Staff on which he leaned, until he died.
G.A.'s "end" was but a beginning. And when he
"graduated" others took over.

He knew, in those last few months, that it wouldn't be long. Already he knew those who were going to carry on his work. And the Brothers and the Sisters, those friends from across the seas of space, were busy in their task of forging new links, reshaping the pattern of their contacts with those close to Adamski.

AS WITH GEORGE ADAMSKI, the Brothers continue to furnish evidence of their presence in our skies. New films, startling in their clarity, are being provided by G.A.'s Co-workers. New accounts of recent contact with the men and women visiting us are evidence of their continued interest in our welfare.

Here, in this issue of UFO CONTACT, you will see more photographic presentation of "Unidentified Flying Objects". In some strange fashion, by some peculiar "co-incidence", another of G.A.'s close associates is enabled to take startling movie-film shots of objects in the sky. With this new evidence we shall show, too, how Adamski's successors are STILL pushing the experts, STILL offering for examination photographic proof of "inexplicable phenom- ena" in the skies above us.

There are always those who are ready to jeer and deride. This is a peculiar facet of the human psychology which stems almost solely from ignorance. But, thank God, there are those also who, in the face of public intolerance and apathy, are able to stand out from the rest and say of the pioneer: "Give the man his chance, let the man have his say".

As we have said a few words back, evidence is still being provided of our extraterrestrial visitors' presence on and above our planet. That this evidence remains a puzzle, – or gives the impression, at least, of remaining a puzzle – to competent "experts", despite public pronouncements made by the head of Project Blue Book, the U.S.A.F.'s UFO agency, that UFO's are NOT from Outer Space, ("Evening Telegram", San Bernadino, California, February 15th 1967 – full report on Page 103, UFO CONTACT, April issue), is shown here in the pages of UFO CONTACT.

Once before, a gracious lady was willing, against much advice, to listen to the sincere words of a man who was still to battle for many years to come for the truth which he propounded. We ask again for that First Lady's gracious attention to certain matters which we believe, as in years gone by, will be of interest to her, also today.

Our Open Letter we respectfully address to –
Her Majesty, Queen Juliana of the Netherlands.

only beginning to accept the remote possibility of "some form" of life, - and a one-cell life, at that, - existing anywhere at all outside of Earth. And any suggestion that intelligent beings existed who had progressed past the stages of wars and poverty and racial intolerance, was to speak of Heaven itself.
Now, in 1967, many things have changed. The majority still laughs, yes. But one sees in the ever-expanding minority a level of radical but intelligent thought which would have been branded a "heresy" against the whole Establishment just a few years ago. With our own greatly-increased space activity and the near-proximity of an Earthman's landing on the Moon, ideas have had to change along with the immense changes in the means of travel.

What modern science has yet to discover, however, is an antidote to the enormously swollen ego of "Earth-man" which has gained nothing from the discoveries of Galileo other than a list of changed astronomical data and some very basic facts concerning the solar system in which we live.

What they have not yet learned from the "here-
tical" revelations of Galileo is that scientific "fact"
of today is not necessarily scientific "fact" of to-
morrow; that they, too, these modern scientists, may
be called upon - and perhaps very soon - to change
all previous concepts of astronomical physics and
to accept that Earth-man is not, after all, alone in
the Universe.

the Universe.
One of the pioneers in this school of thought was George Adamski. Since his passing, in April 1965, others have come forward to carry on his work.

Madam, on several occasions in the years since 1959, Mr. Adamski was given the opportunity of photographing some of these space craft on movie-film. These films have been shown widely in the United States and in certain countries in Europe. They have been viewed by persons in authority, including experts in many fields, as well as by millions of the general public by way of television.

The extraterrestrial human beings of whom Mr. Adamski spoke are still operating in the same pattern. Several of his helpers have been privileged to meet these people. New colour movies have been taken of their ships, on occasion with the deliberate connivance of the pilots of the craft concerned.
An American lady, Mrs. Madeleine Rodeffer, and two Germanborn, naturalised Americans, Mr. and Mrs. Fred Steckling, have been privileged not only to meet these friends from other planets but they have also been enabled to photograph the movement of their craft on colour-film.

All of these films have been viewed by persons in authority, including photographic experts of the U.S. National Aeronautics and Space Agency, (NASA), and they have yet to be faulted.

Madam, the reason for our approach in this Open Letter is this. Having heard from Mr. Adamski first-hand of his experiences, would Your Majesty care once more to hear of the visitations of the Brothers and Sisters who befriended him? They have made themselves known to others; there are courageous

messages to trusted UFO workers on Earth, and for other specific purposes. Most of us have read accounts written by people claiming to have received messages, both garbled and clear, from the Space Brothers via ham radios, tensor-coil experiments, etc., or of seeing spacemen or other unidentified phenomena on their television screens. There was one amusing story of a man who fell asleep while watching a late, late movie on television and awoke several hours later to find himself staring at a strange, other-world face on his TV screen! He was so scared, he snapped off the TV set - and sold it the next day! Then there are cases of people hearing messages and celestial music on their tape recorders. Only recently, Fate magazine

published a letter received from Myra Dee Hina of Sacramento, California, in which she stated that while attempting to record a new song she had created with the help of numerology, i.e., »notes forming the vibration of each word«, on a brand-new tape bought at a local store, she proceeded to pick the notes out on an organ and sing them on to the tape. She goes on to say: »I then went to turn off the tape recorder and found it had stop-ped. I reset it and played the notes over again. When I returned to the recorder to stop it, some sort of a force field seemed to appear. I could see it and feel it with my hands. It gave me the

same sensation as if I held two repelling magnets. Wondering why such a condition existed, I stood and let the machine run on. When I no longer felt the force field, I ran the tape back to replay. My voice was clear, the notes were clear - but I was shocked beyond words when a beautiful orchestra began playing the very theme I had created. it lasted a long period, over 35 minutes. It is possible that the recorder somehow picked up music out of the air. There was no other instrument in the house, the tape was new and I ran it around 12 o'clock midnight. I've tried to repeat this strange incident several times, but nothing has happened. In addition to the music on the tape, a voice speaks in a language I never heard before. Several persons who have listened to the tape say they have a weird feeling while it is playing«.

sources was a local ham radio operator who, it must be clearly stressed, knew little if anything about Mr. Smith's work or scientific experiments and most of the messages he received for Wilbert Smith, on an unidentified waveband, were completely unintelligible to him – although they made a lot of sense to WBS.

By this means and with the usual, requested confirmation from other sources, Wilbert Smith received a lot of invaluable guidance in his scientific work. The most dramatic incident, however, occurred when WBS and a small working party of the then Ottawa Flying Saucer Club were preparing to test out an experimental machine they had built. Just prior to this test, the Boys from Topside broke into the ham radio operator's listening, blanking out all other stations and repeating insistently that they had an urgent message for Wilbert Smith which the operator was to pass on to him without delay – and this he did. The message, couched in scientific terms, might be translated into layman's language as saying that a certain flywheel in the experimental machine would not stand the stress of the r.m.p. about to be placed on it and that it would shatter under the strain; precaution should be taken. Heeding this advice, WBS and his co-workers built a protective wooden covering around the machine, after which they set it in motion and, as predicted, the flywheel shattered, embedding the wooden boards with its shrapnel!

## Intervention on a Tape Recording.

Another strange experience occurred during an exchange of tape recording letters between WBS and another UFO worker in the U.S. At the time, WBBS was in possession of certain scientific data which the Boys from Topside had asked him to keep confidential for the time being. Inadvertently, WBS, more by implication than direct statement, let slip a few clues to this scientific problem in a tape-letter to his colleague. A week or so later, he received the tape back from his friend, with a message asking if he would fill in the blank spaces on the tape. Puzzled, WBS examinod the tape carefully and played it over, only to discover that in the places where he had let slip the tell-tale clues, the sound had been neatly erased and there was a slightly sticky substance on the tape in these areas! The only possible conclusion he could reach was that it was the work of the Boys from Topside.

Here then, are two authentic cases of the Space Brothers using our electronic equipment for a specific purpose.

## Use of Television.

Recently, the English magazine »Week-End« carried the following article, and while it is written in a humorous, tongue-in-cheek vein, its writer may have been a lot closer to the truth than he imagined! To quote: »Tonight you will probably sit down

## An open Letter

SOESTDIJK PALACE,
SOESTDIJK,
HOLLAND.

JUNE 1967.

To Her Majesty, Queen Juliana.

Your Majesty,

We venture to approach you on a matter which we believe will be of some interest to you, the subject being one of immense importance, bearing as it does implications of a nature which might well affect in the future every aspect of human endeavour on this Earth.

The subject of which we speak has once before been brought to Your Majesty's attention, and, we understand, received careful consideration; in fact, it is in the belief that Your Majesty has shown more than usual interest that we make this approach to-day.

May we, with respect, ask you to cast your mind back 8 years. In May of 1959, Your Majesty was pleased to request the presence of Mr. George Adamski, of California, at Soestdijk Palace. Mr. Adamski was at that time on a world lecture-tour.

This gentleman had an unusual story to tell. He spoke of visitations to this planet by human beings from outer space. He spoke of kind human beings who had travelled in their spaceships, often called "flying saucers", from their home planets in our solar system, from Venus, from Saturn, Mars and others.

Their understanding was far ahead of our own, their sincere interest in our welfare was part of a philosophy of brotherhood and love for all of the Creator's Works.

This was George Adamski's story. In 1959, the subject of flying saucers was considered by the majority to be laughable. Any attempt to discuss the possibility of beings technologically superior to us, visiting Earth in space craft travelling at fantastic speeds, was to dismiss all the scientific concepts of the day. Indeed, in 1959, scientists were

## A Warning Via Ham Radio.

While, even with an open mind, we cannot, understandably, vouch for the veracity of all these claims, we can quote a couple of experiences of this nature which happened to our founder, the late Wilbert B. Smith, during his long and intensive study of the UFO Mystery.. WBS, as most of you know, was first and foremost a scientist, and he never accepted anything without careful checks and cross-checks and only by this method was he reasonably sure of his ground. But undoubtedly, he received clear-cut messages and confirmations on a variety of scientific and philosophical matters from his space friends, the »Boys from Topside«, through a number of different media. One of these

photosynthetic process to produce at least simple plant forms.

"The significance of my findings, if correct", Dr. Johnson declared, "is that a case for life chemistry in space can not only be inferred but the end product can be looked upon as a form of life similar to that on earth".

Johnson made his discoveries by observing the spectral lines of light absorption of interstellar dust. He found that the dust absorbed light at a certain range of wavelength.

Identifying an element or compound by spectral information is similar to identifying a human by his fingerprints.

It has been known that star-light contains many colors. Scientists also know that molecules or atoms in the path of star-light are capable of absorbing a part of it.

This means that individual molecules can be identified positively by the particular spectral portion of the light they absorb on a one-to-one basis.

## IN MILLIONS.

Previous like studies of spectral lines indicated the presence of hydrocarbons. But since the combinations of known hydrocarbon compounds extends into the millions, further extensive study was required to identify the major components of dust from this spectral information.

Random testing of the possible hydrocarbon comp onents of the interstellar dust would take several lifetimes. By systematic elimination of possibilities, Dr. Johnson reduced the field to porphyrins and carbotenoids, which are closely associated with chlorophyll. He compared the absorption band spectra of these substances in laboratory conditions simulating the extra-terrestrial environments of the dust and found that they matched.

Further investigation through both spectroscopic studies and lasar research at the Electro-Optical Systems revealed the substance in question to be chlorophyll.

If some of this dust should reach a planet like Mars, could the chlorophyll photosynthesize?

"We have indications that life started here (on earth) from outside", Dr. Johnson declared. "The same thing could happen there".

To illustrate the point, Dr. Johnson said he conducted some experiments on rocks estimated to be 4½ billion years old. He found porphyrins, a "skeleton" form of chlorophyll.

Dr. Johnson speculated that the same mechanism – condensation of dust into meteors, which are then attracted to planets – can be at work now as well as in the past when earth was born.

I had flown across to Brussels a few days before, on September 1st, and drank coffee in the airport lounge with Pat Morlet, May's elder son, whilst we

## Unavoidable Interference.

One of the commonest occurrences indicating the close presence of a UFO is the unavoidable interference with Earth's radio, electrical and electronic equipment, believed to be brought about by the different force field in which the UFO operates. Temporarily stalled cars, »dead« radios, distorted television screens and disrupted electronic equipment are among the features most frequently met with in a close encounter with a flying saucer. One of our correspondents in Westford, Mass., U.S.A., where there has been a record number of sightings this year, tells us that when a UFO passes near her home, a most extraordinary pattern of horizontal lines of small vees's (thus: vvvvvvvvvvvvvv) appears on her television screen and that frequently when she goes outside to investigate, there is the culprit UFO! Included among the many reports of the increased world-wide UFO activity in recent months are typical ones such as the report from Azores published July 11 which reads: »Flying Object Stops Watches. A spokesman for Santa Maria Airport claimed today that a mysterious flying object apparently stopped all electro-magnetic watches at the airport when it flew slowly over the island yesterday. He said a white cylindrical object was seen flying slowly in a north-westerly direction at a height of 33,000 feet«. Another report from Canberra, Australia, published soon after Mariner II was photographing Mars, reads: 'Did Mysterious Object Distort Mars Signals? A mysterious glowing object – hovering near Canberra Airport while the U.S. Mariner space probe was taking pictures of Mars – has baffled experts in Canberra. Six members of the traffic control tower crew said the object hung suspended at about 5,000 feet for 40 minutes. It disappeared when an air force plane was sent out to identify it. Experts now are wondering if it was coincidence that the object was sighted shortly before nearby Tidninbilla tracking station was scheduled to pick up Mariner signals. The station had unusual difficulty in locking on to Mariner at the time«.

## Deliberate Control.

It is believed that most of the aforegoing incidents are more or less of an accidental nature. But there is steadily-mounting evidence over the years that our space visitors are able to and actually do use our electronic equipment to make their presence known to their earth brothers, to convey

people still who battle against great odds for what they know to be right.

We believe that, with Your Majesty's approval, further evidence can be produced for your consideration which will help greatly your understanding of these matters, thereby encouraging others to seek the truth of these visitations from outer space. It is our sincere belief that there is far too much at stake for the world to continue to supress or ignore news of events of such magnitude.

Should Your Majesty so desire, George Adamski's friends would be honoured to tell their own stories and show their own films in Your Majesty's presence.

With respect,

Sincerely

The Editors.

# The evidence of the quiet contacts

by RONALD CASWELL.

"THEY'LL NEVER GET CLOSE ENOUGH when I've got this in my hand, you know, Ronald", said Fred with some conviction, looking down at the gleaming object he held on his knee. He had a slightly rueful smile on his face. He reminded me of a youngish Bob Hope in looks except that his nose was not so sharp and his face a little more rounded. "It's a power zoom lens, see. It's fully automatic. – They know that if I get them on this, NO-ONE will be able to deny it".

We sat near to the open French window of the lounge with the sun streaming in, I on the comfortable old settee, Fred on a highbacked chair, one knee crossed over the other, looking thoughtfully at his own fingers idly adjusting the lens-piece of the cine-camera.

May Morlet was somewhere in the house, probably ringing through to some of the guests we were expecting later in the day – or maybe she had driven into Antwerp with Ingrid, Fred’s wife, who had a hairdressing appointment that afternoon. Tomorrow we were to run through to The Hague to meet some of our Dutch friends who were arranging Fred’s lect-

ure and film-show there.
Hans was about somewhere in the big old house. He had arranged for a few days' leave and travelled down from Copenhagen some days before. Hans is Major Petersen of the Royal Danish Air Force, organiser of the European and Asian sections of IGAP. He may never live it down, but, much-travelled man that he is, he had left his passport back home! He gave a huge chuckle as he described to us how he had managed to talk himself across the German frontier. Luckily his wife had now sent the passport on.

waited an hour or so for the Steckling's plane to come in from Washington, via New York and Cologne. They were flying LUFTHANSA.

Patrick had them paged as the Cologne flight began to stream into the arrival bay, everyone on the look-out for the baggage coming up on the wide moving belt from below. Mrs. Suzy Peeters, May's lifelong friend, and Treasurer for the Belgian groups, arrived in her tiny Volkswagen and smilingly greeted us, together with Philip, May's younger son, who had been filming the aircraft from the airport roof. We were all old friends. Suzy was to help with extra transport back to Antwerp.

We looked at the people who were coming over to the inquiries desk; and the floor cluttered with luggage-loaded trollies as the passengers came away from Customs and began passing through the barriers, some hurrying, some looking lost, others being greeted enthusiastically by waiting friends. The huge hall rang with sound, and above all were the disembodied voices speaking loftily from many hidden loudspeakers. We wondered what Fred and Ingrid would look like.

A neat-looking couple with a boy of about seven spoke to one of the clerks at the inquiries desk. They turned and faced us as the man pointed our way.

Fred was about 5 feet 10, Ingrid about 5-7. Glenn was looking around him at the high roof of the foyer Ingrid was an attractive young woman with natural blonde hair, slim and wearing a white, two-piece suit. She did not look the type one would expect to see at a special private meeting of members of the United States Senate Aeronautics and Space Committee.

Fred seemed a rather serious-faced young man. Both were in their early thirties. Both were German-born, naturalised Americans. They had lived in Canada for some time prior to their arrival in the States. Only little Glenn's voice was totally Ameri-

can.
So this was Fred Steckling, the young man who had not wished to "take over", as George Adamski had hoped during the last few days of his illness in Washington. D.C. As Fred said, no-one could take G.A.'s place. So it was left at that. And George had died, not knowing. Or did he know, that wise old man?

Madeleine and Fred and Ingrid had just gone on working as before, only much harder. Telling G.A.'s story, showing his films, bothering the officials on Capitol Hill. And now they had Madeleine Rodeffer's film to show as well, the amazing close-up shots of the scout-craft hovering over her "front yard", which was in reality, the long sloping, grassy bank running from her house down to the road. At the most, a hundred feet in the air, level with the tall tree-tops.

Madeleine and Ingrid had faced a chilly reception committee at the private Senate hearing of January 1965, a couple of months before George died; and at the end of the showing of George's film sequen- ces and a 45-minute verbal barrage from some sarc-

astic senators, Madeleine, who had worked in a Government office for many years, just stood up and told them that she wouldn't like to be in THEIR shoes when people found out what was being kept from them.

Did they think the public was blind?
Many had seen the planes chasing the saucers.
Even children.

Even children.
And Madeleine had come out of the committee-room seething with anger. A few weeks after wards she had filmed a scout-ship over her own "front yard".

Fred loosened up a little as we sped along the road Brussels-Antwerp. Patrick, who studied at Brussels University, and who himself lectured on flying saucers, was a good driver, but fast!

"Madeleine was at the airport as we left Washington. Oh, and Linda, her friend, was with her. You know, that young woman who had some sightings. She's written to you, I think. A nice girl. There were two Brothers standing back a bit in the crowd. They weren't with Madeleine. Maybe she knew they were there."

He went on talking about some of the Brothers he had met. Ingrid joined in occasionally, her eyes bright and shining.

"Oh, Ronald!" she said, in her German-accented American, drawling the words. "If you only could meet them! There is this wonderful feeling of good-ness that seems to reach out to you."

Fred's rather serious face relaxed a little as he spoke. One could see he was no fanatic. Fred Steckling and Ingrid were not money-grabbing "contactees" making a fast buck. They spoke quietly, but forcefully at times. Perhaps Fred could not quite shake off this feeling of having to convince someone all the time.

"Ronald," he said, after a rather long, somewhat tired silence. They'd been travelling for many, many hours. "Ronald, do you know, it's just as if they have our frequencies. I had a birthday a while back –" Ingrid was about to burst in with wife-like enthusiasm but Fred's voice stopped her. "I had a birthday a while back," Fred went on. "Ingrid and I were watching T.V. I don't remember the show. Suddenly –" and again Ingrid was bursting with agreement, "– suddenly it went doot-di-di-doot, on the T.V. just like that, maybe ten or a dozen times. Doot-di-di-doot-doot. Ingrid and I just looked at each other – and then we both DASHED out onto the porch."

and then we both DASHED out onto the porch."
Patrick swerved among the traffic on a bumpy patch of road.

"There over the house was the saucer. It just swayed there, back and forward. Then it seemed to swing down low as the light showed from the porch and then shot off over in the direction of Washington Airport."

Ingrid couldn't hold herself any longer. "And do you know, Ronald!" she burst in, "Madeleine had the same thing happen on her birthday! Linda and some more friends were just being seen off from the house and they called out to Madeleine to look. And there

"was this red, glowing light swaying over the house!" Fred smiled knowingly.

"You can bet, they've got our wave-lengths!" he said.

As we looked out at May's long lily-pond in the spacious lawn, the big, leafy trees almost overhanging the house and splashing the ground with shadow, Fred gave a little laugh to himself and glanced up at me. He was so often serious, especially when he talked to the people who gathered at May's house, guests, reporters etc, – it was nice to see him with a, somewhat twisted, grin. There were no gimmicks with Fred.

"I saw a saucer close overhead some while ago. There are a LOT of them around that area - I had my camera with me, this camera - and I ran off some film and I felt so gosh-darned pleased with myself! D'you know something? I left the dust-cap on!"

He told me of his talks with the Brothers.
"D'you know, Ronald, when you're with them, you don't ASK questions. You don't think of it. You just listen. It's as if you are not meant to ask of things maybe they don't want you to know."

Fred bit his lip thoughtfully.
“One of them I can see several times a week. I know where he’s working. I can tell you what sort of work he does, but not where.” Fred told me.
“It’s only once in a while we have a chance to talk. Maybe over a cup of coffee some place.”

He paused, then went on.
"This one's from Venus."
Fred's trip over had been delayed. Hans and I had had to change our bookings. Fred had told me on the trip up from the airport how someone, – he didn't know who – had contacted the bank where Fred had arranged credit for the trip.

arranged credit for the trip.
"I have to do it on the instalments," he said. "A cook doesn't earn all that much money." Fred works at an hotel in Virginia, near where he lives.

The strange thing was that Fred had previously had credit arrangements with the same bank, and had had no bother. Maybe someone had tried to stop his trip to Europe. It had taken several days to clear up the matter.

Later that night, in fact at 3.30 in the morning, we had sat talking, all of May's house-guests, until the small hours, as we were to do every night of our visit – I walked with Hans Petersen around some

He was speaking first in Antwerp, staying with May for some days, then The Hague, then Frankfurt and Mannheim, then in Austria - Vienna and Linz - then on to West Berlin for the last six days to stay with his family.

Whether Fred was helped with money at the German or Austrian lectures, I don't know. I know he received nothing in Antwerp and Den Haag, except hospitality from good friends. That certainly did not pay the Stecklings fare across the Atlantic.

Fred's first lecture was on the evening of our arrival in Antwerp, at May Morlet's home. Of the 50-60 in the audience, which included reporters, I noticed a young woman. I shall not describe her.

In fact, we need not go to all the great amount of trouble that we do, to sterilize the space-ships and probes which are to be sent up; – our bacteria has long been present on our sister planets and many

There is no doubt that a great number of the meteoric falls actually are remains of "natural" objects in space – but not by any means all of them.

No doubt also, some of the falls of ice are from aircraft de-icing or breaking off by some other means; the theory about ice from the toilets is very doubtful, but even if we give this theory a certain chance, then it still explains only a very small part of the total number of reported falls.

Until the Rocket-age's attempts to explain conditions in the Space around us began, a remarkable attitude prevailed within certain scientific circles in regard to that Space.

Earth was the navel of the Cosmos, around which and about which everything turned. The moon and the planets and the stars were hung in the sky for Earth's sake, and between all the bodies outside of Earth's atmosphere was this great empty Space, in

which was to be found – absolutely nothing.
But the rockets told another story – they had been out there. We can say then, that now it is proven that Space is not empty. Among other things, dust has been registered. And it has become dusty in the space-capsule when the capsule door has stood open.

It is proven also, that certain chemical reactions can, in the course of a few seconds, form solid matter. (Einstein).

As all the planets are born in the same Cosmos, this means to say that the same elements or units which make up the "creation" are to be found in invisible form in this so-called empty Space. It "only" needs the right chemical reaction to take place for the whole to take solid form and to build up as planets, comets, meteorites or ice – or for that matter, as many other things.

matter, as many other things.

It is therefore quite plain to see that science can, and must, soon add a new chapter to that book about the "factual" conditions in Space, which it is writing at this time. In this "book" it will be stated that, under certain conditions, solid matter is formed in empty Space - as well as much else - matter that can later fall onto this planet or others as "shooting-stars" or as ice from an airplane's toilet.

And it will be enormously difficult, – yes, almost impossible, – to differentiate between what are remains of solid bodies, such as planets, comets or asteroids, and what is produced by some other means. One might point to evidence of bacteria, but this just will not do, because bacteria can be gathered up from anywhere in the Cosmos. For example, our planet, just the same as other planets, has, during its journey through space, trailed behind itself a long tail of dust and bacteria. This dust and these bacteria are caught up at some time or another by other heavenly bodies, in the same manner that we collect dust and bacteria from other worlds.

other planets, just as "their bacteria" has been a long, long while living with us.

Thus there exists great unexplored areas of research with which science can come to grips and learn from; and when, finally, these are explained, the next natural step will be to learn how one can

come to live without being "infected" by bacteria.
We are on the way; but for a while yet we shall
be "infected" by bacteria, and believe that we can
"infest" our sister planets' inhabitants with our bac-
teria. For a while yet we shall only find meteorites
that originate from planets, comets or asteroids, and
ice which falls from the toilet-systems of airplanes.

October 1966.

Here, in a report just received from the United States, is an important break-through into the area of research mentioned in the afore-going article. With precision timing, we now perceive that ”– through condensation this dust eventually forms meteorites which are dense enough to be attracted to a planet –”.

From: Los Angeles "Herald-Examiner", Sunday January 22nd 1967.

## »L. A. Man finds Life in Space«

THERE IS LIFE IN SPACE!
Chlorophyll, key compound of life on earth, exists abundantly in outer space.
These findings have been reported to a gathering of experts on Astronomy and Biodynamics meeting at the University of California at Berkeley by Dr Fred Johnson of Electro-Optical Systems in Pasadena.

Based on his findings, Dr. Johnson told the Berkeley colloquium the possibility that man is not alone in the universe is excellent.

The physicist, astronomer and biochemist told the Berkeley sessions, which opened Friday, that after 13 years of research he had been able to identify interstellar dust and had found it is composed largely of the solid molecular substance chlorophyll and not ice or graphite as had been previously believed. "There is no reason to believe that we on this planet are unique", Dr. Johnson told the Herald- Examiner. "There is very good evidence, on the other hand, that there may be similar forms of life throughout the universe".

Dr. Johnson reported that although interstellar dust is very small with each grain having an average density of 10 to 26 grams per cubic centimeter, he speculates that through condensation this dust eventually forms meteorites which are dense enough to be attracted to a planet.

## SIMPLE PLANTS.

These meteorites, he said, then deposit the life substance chlorophyll and, as on earth, undergo the

the principles involved in weight-distribution and surface manipulation, i.e. expert engineers producing the revolutionary Hovercraft.

"Some of my readers will have been way ahead of me in these past assessments and no doubt will have anticipated my next intention. Yet others will be a trifle impatient that the following correlation should be made. But I must stress, I try very hard not to be biased, science is far more interesting left as it is. Therefore I am sincere in my next analysis. I trust the reader will be, too. I have purposely chosen the following title for the evidence which I hope may help shed some truer light on one who may be a very maligned man." UNQUOTE.

Yes, the "very maligned man" is George Adamski. 12 years ago Leonard G. Cramp produced the orthographic projections which showed how young Stephen Darbishire's "Coniston" saucer, as photographed, was identical in shape and proportion to Adamski's classic "scout-craft".

Today, in his book "Piece For A Jig-saw", Mr. Cramp produces startling evidence of a highly-technical nature which shows how, following along purely engineering principles as a result of analyses of hundreds of reported saucer-sightings, with accompanying detail of manoeuvre and flight patterns, he arrives at the ideal form, in all respects, for a visiting "saucer". The saucer he finally produces, after progressive line-drawings and photographs by the score, is the Adamski scout-craft.

In his concluding chapter, not only does the author quote details of engineering data provided by Adamski in his controversial books, but Mr. Cramp confesses that, until the time of writing this last chapter, he had not yet read completely Adamski's "Inside The Space Ships"! Realising perhaps certain readers' scepticism about this belated admission, Mr. Cramp goes on to describe points outlined in that book concerning Adamski's alleged trips in the scout-craft, whereby his (Cramp's) own scientifically arrived-at data receives startling corroboration!

"At this juncture I can almost hear many an Adam-ski sceptic breathing a sigh of incredulity, hardly able to believe that I should dare to include such material in a semi-technical work of this nature." Unquote.

With many detailed international sighting reports analysed scientifically, with his own photographed experiments showing the intensive study he has made of all aspects of "saucer" manoeuvres and flight, and accompanied by scores of finely-executed line-drawings, Leonard Cramp provides food for thought for all those of an open mind.

Here, biased or un-biased as we may seem, we would like to recommend to other biased and un-biased UFO researchers one of the best flying saucer contributions since "Inside The Space Ships"! That the author is not biased can be witnessed by the 360 pages of this book which are not about George Adamski.

In expressing the hope that certain UFOlogist

sceptics will not now refrain from purchasing and reading this excellent book, we would like to conclude with an excerpt from the summing-up by Leonard G. Cramp himself.

"Out of the confusion and the shadow surrounding this most enigmatic of flying saucer contact stories, emerges one or two, but nevertheless very important facts.

(a) Adamski type saucers are not uncommon among UFO reports.

(b) On purely engineering grounds the configuration of the "scout ship" offers the best allround compromise which could embody the functions required by the gravitational propulsion theory.

(c) Adamski's description of inside a saucer is not inconsistent with the theory, on the contrary, theory seems to support it.

(d) Thus on these grounds alone I for one feel inclined to accept the first part of his experience as fact, and in my opinion any inconsistencies which appear in his subsequent claims are insufficient to invalidate the previous conclusions."

## Out of the clear, blue sky

by MAJOR H. C. PETERSEN.

WE ALL KNOW of accounts of objects which during the past couple of hundred years, have been reported as falling down from the sky, – and, often enough, from a clear, cloudless sky.

Scientists and other experts have sought to explain such "falls" as meteorites, meteors, or – nowadays – as something in connection with flying, atomic tests or the like.

In the book "Le Matin des Magiciens", by the Frenchmen, Louis Pauwels and Jacques Bergier, volume One gives reference to 40,000 notations of falls of such extraordinary things.

or such extraordinary things.
If we concern ourselves solely with two groups of
objects – meteorites and ice – then we find ourselves
in an area where science and various other exper-
sources are quite positive in their conclusions.

Meteoritic stones originate from comets and planets which have disintegrated, or from larger or smaller asteroids. The ice comes from airplanes - either formed outwardly or from the toilet.

quiet, deserted, leafy avenues near to May's house. Hans had suggested a walk before turning in. It was our first opportunity to talk alone together since our meeting in Denmark three or four weeks before.

He also wanted to tell me something. About a young lady of rather special appearance who had, during the course of the evening, moved out of the audience and was sitting on a settee very close to the speaker's table. Just before the guests left, - some of them were unknown to May Morlet - the young woman spoke a few words with Hans.

"'Ron", said Hans, "I am wondering about that young woman.'"

Some days after Fred and Ingrid and Glenn had left Vienna for Berlin, for a very short family re-union, the Co-workers received a letter from our Austrian friend and Co-worker, Dora Bauer, who told us of the lectures Fred had given in Vienna and Linz. She also wrote that Fred had told her of two space people, a Brother and a Sister, who were at May's house on that first evening --

And going through Germany he had filmed a strange formation in the sky. It was on September 7th 1966.

In February this year I received photostats of correspondence and some still pictures from the film that Fred Steckling took whilst travelling by train between Mannheim and Frankfurt, in West Germany. The stills he had obtained by photographing from the screen, he said. He did not dare have the stills professionally made. (Both George Adamski and Madeleine Rodeffer have had "accidents" happen to film in the past. A greater part of the Rodeffer close-up saucer film was stolen from an hotel room when G.A. was taking the original to be copied. Copies of his own film loaned to T.V. net-works and others have returned badly disfigured with chemicals, "with great regret –")

A letter from Fred to Thomas G. Corbin, Major-General U.S.A.F. Director Legislative Liaison, Department of the Air Force, Washington, D.C., read:

"Dear Sir,

While with my family in Germany September 7, 1966, I had the rare opportunity to film a "Armada" of about 40 to 50 UFO's apearing and disappearing in the middle of the blue sky.

The 23 feet of Kodakcolour film were taken out of an open window of a speeding express train, Mannheim-Frankfurt, approximately at 11.40 a.m.

My camera is an automatic 8 mm Revere power zoom, 30 mm lens. The objects, which can be seen, look like white cigarettes on the motion-picture behind trees, railroad stations and powerlines, which were flying by and blocking their sight on occasions while filming. This rules out light reflections from any excusable source.

I would be willing indeed to show this rare film (personally) to Air Force officials here in Washington D.C., if they are interested.

Any Monday would be fine for showing the film,
I am looking forward to your answer,
sincerely, Fred Steckling. UNQUOTE.

Thank you very much for your letter and for your offer to show us your film. I am not really qualified to pass judgement on it, but it would be good to have the people here at Goddard who are, look at it. May I suggest, then, that you give Mr. Penn Stevens, phone --, a call. He will make an appointment for you to come out to Goddard and show the Photographic Branch and me your film. Unfortunat-ely we have no 8 mm projector here, so I must ask you to bring your own.

We took slides along so the 22 NASA officials could see G.A.'s and her film, too. They seemed to be quite impressed, but would not make an open statement concerning the film, naturally. The 2 hour meeting took place in Building A.I. They treated us very nice and seemed to know much more of what we had to show and tell. One thing they said, however, and that is concerning Dr. Hynek. His swamp-gas explanations are nonsense, we were told.

"But despite the evidence of the 3 films they still would like to have more positive proof, we were told, for it still does not prove these ships to be extra-terrestrial, as one official put it. However, he was not able to tell us just where these strange crafts come from otherwise. But they were quite impressed about the exact formation of the many ships on the film of Sept. 7th. 66. Reflection, any fake, and cloud formation, including Skyriders, was ruled out. It left only 23 feet of UFO's.

"They said nothing about G.A.'s film and on Madeleine's they commented, – the ship is smaller, and anticipated it to be about 27 feet in diameter. They were interested in how far the trees in the back-

But we were treated very nice and in respect, – one person said to Ingrid, you have something there, – meaning the films –

"I could see that they had much knowledge, but could not give themselves away. They did not ridicule us, nor the films, nor the whole UFO idea. I did not go to NASA to convince them, but to consult them."

He added:
"This meeting with NASA was a different matter altogether than the Senate Space committee 2 years ago with Madeleine and Ingrid, where they received more 'Hell' than anything else –"

Later, I received a fuller description of events.
"When I took the film September 7th, we were between Mannheim and Frankfurt traveling North. The time was about 11.45 a.m., no clouds, about seventy

degrees, Fahrenheit. Although power-lines and trees were flying by, while I took the film, If there was a station it surely swished by so fast that it was impossible to make out any signs, etc. In this case you have to take my word for it. I was already before alerted of the Brothers before the film, and became aware of a group of 10 to 12 cigarette shaped objects high in the sky (12 o'clock up.) I jumped back to grab the camera, a 8 mm Revere, 30 mm powerzoom, Chicago build and opened the window all the way to eliminate any reflections and started filming. All in all, 6 groups of ten to twelve spacecraft appeared one after another and moved along the sky like Dolphins in the water, as an example. Appearing and disappearing, the armada traveled to about 9 o'clock (position) and disappeared completely, giving me the privilege to take about 23 feet of Kodak color film.

"There were quite some people on the train, some of them looking out of their windows, becoming aware of the objects. As we could see they all had big question-marks on their faces. They had never seen anything like this before. I might add, there was no fear on their faces. Ingrid and myself also Glenn, we could hardly believe it, ever to be presented with such an opportunity of taking that many ships on film and all at once. We stood on the window, Ingrid saying only, "oh, my God" and our every hair was standing up at this wonderful sight. We will never forget this experience and are surely grateful for it. _"

## »The flying saucer that Andrew saw in Stamford Sky«

Andrew, the eight-year-old son of Mr. and Mrs. T. H. Hyde, of 59 Scotgate, Stamford, claims to have seen a "flying saucer" over Stamford on Tuesday. Aug. 2. He was in his back garden at the time, and this is how he sketched and described what he saw:

"I saw this object in the sky twice this morning between about half-past ten and a quarter to eleven. It was going very quickly above the clouds. The first time I saw it, it was travelling in a N. W. direction, and then about ten minutes later it came

back.
"It was then going in a S. E. direction, and it made no sound. the shape was round, with black circles looking like ship's port-holes round the middle. There were little things looking like landing wheels on the bottom.

"There was a cloud of yellow stuff coming out of the back and there was a ring round the middle of the object."

## Literature

## »Piece for a jig-saw«

By LEONARD G. CARMP., M.S.I.A. A.R.Ae.S.
author of "Space, Gravity and the
Flying Saucer."

Here is a book about "flying saucers" which can be of immense interest to both the »converted" and to the "open-minded", to the lay-person looking for more corroboration to back up his beliefs in the reality of visiting space-ships, and to the technically-minded man who may well be rather surprised at the wealth of detail of a highly technical nature included in this work.

Leonard Cramp, who for many years has worked in both aerodynamics and, more recently, with the new design principles of the Hovercraft, has succeeded in writing a bookunderstood, by any person of normal intelligence who can read the English language.

"Piece For A Jig-saw" does, in truth, offer a piece – a very large piece – of that enigmatic jig-saw puzzle which has undulated and returned along 180 degrees through head-lines of the world's press for the past 20 years. Cramp himself has worked on material for this book for over half that time. It is 12 years since he submitted to the public "Space, Gravity and the Flying Saucer"; – this book is a natural and elevating follow-up.

Written in a style which is as open and as lacking in pomposity as the author himself, one finds a pattern developing from each chapter to the next, as he takes us from his brief but concise "background material" of orthodox aerodynamics, curves into a high trajectory through the experimental X-15 and the family of rockets, and into the deep blue. One is almost shocked to find with what ease Cramp brings us down - not in a capsule supported by great billowing parachutes, but gently landing in a field, any field, ready for instant take-off to a far-off hovering mother-ship.

At least, the mother-ship is there by implication, because Mr. Cramp, as he says, having "set myself the task of discovering the truth as an engineer", arrives, after a volume full of investigation and experimentation, at the last chapter which is entitled:

"Vindication Of A Scout Ship."

The last paragraph of the second from last chapter might well sum up a very large part of the UFO story. It also sums up the author, a man who succeeded in forming a large group of UFO enthusiasts from a very hard core of technology, men who know

ities of the dark shape behind them. There was a tiny white light behind which did not seem to be attached to the object in any way; but as the night was very dark, she admits that this could also have been a star. The colored lights were not blinking, and the object seemed not to move, although she of course was moving towards it in her car. She described the object (which, she admits, she saw very indistinctly in the almost complete darkness), as a black winglike thing which made no noise. Then she suddenly thought "Surely it can't be a plane, this low. Perhaps it is a flying saucer". The size of the 2 colored lights was small, about the size of ordinary car blinker-lights. If the witness had stopped to investigate, this could have been a most important sighting. Unfortunately, she preferred to continue on her way, and thus lost a great opportunity.

Thursday April 13th around 8.15 p.m., Victoria's lights suddenly all dimmed for a couple of seconds, and at that moment, witnesses in town chanced to see a colored object streak across the sky. The Press tried to 'explain' this dimming to lightning up at Campbell River, some 200 miles away: this, however, would seem unconvincing, in view of the numerous past cases where a certain type of UFO has repeatedly caused the dimming, and indeed the blackout, of electric lights in widely separated areas. It is also well-known to researchers that other types of UFO's do not affect electrical installation: on the other hand, it is possible that all UFO's may have the ability to affect such installations, or to refrain from doing so, at will.

From: The Mexican newspaper "EL HERALDO", February 26th, 1967.

(There are three photographs of flying saucers produced in the article, which unfortunately we cannot reproduce here. However, here are the captions to the photographs. – Ed.)

Nr. 1. "This photograph of a strange space object was taken by Dr. Jose A. Lanuza, professor at the Sorbonne in Paris and at the Autonomous National University of Mexico, when he travelled aboard an airplane of the Compañía Mexicana de Aviación from Mexico City to Guadalajara." (– It will be remembered by some readers that many times George Adamski spoke of a saucer base in the mountains around Guadalajara. – Ed.)

Nr. 2. "Dr. Lanuza was able to take this picture above the Valley of Mexico. It shows in our sky the presence of another flying object. It is of a circular shape and has in its upper part a transparent dome. The ship seemed to be made of some metal of aluminium color."

Nr. 3. "This UFO photo was taken by Dr. Lanuza at a distance of about 100 metres from the machine.

and only a few metres above the surface of Mexico Valley. Note at the bottom of the picture the power-lines, which give an idea of how low the saucer was. Dr. Lanuza has the negatives in his possession, which have been carefully examined by photo experts, who stated that no fake was involved."

Also in "EL HERALDO".

They were observed near Montevideo.
Montevideo (UPI) - Unidentified Flying Objects were observed in this capital in clear daylight, stated the director of the Astronomical Observatory ANTA-
RES, Juan Reyes Febles, who succeeded in taking 21 color photos of said objects.

He added that from one saucer were ejected into space some smaller objects of the same shape whose colors varied from blue to violet and orange.

According to Mr. Reyes and other witnesses' observations is was an oval UFO seen at a height of about 6 km to the North of the City. It had an indented rim. One could see a dark dome with a distinctively white rim and one open porthole in the upper part.

Finally Reyes said: "It could be proved that it was a "mothersaucer", i.e., a giant space-ship which ejected from its interior other little ships that shot away at a vertiginous speed".

The sighting was made the day before yesterday and lasted for one hour and 40 minutes."

(We should remind readers that this sighting was made from an astronomical observatory, and that an open porthole at a height of 6000 metres or 20,000 feet could well be in view with certain types of telescopes. Whether it was in fact a porthole that was open at that cold height and in that thin air might be a point of conjecture perhaps, but we are not reckoning with terrestrial aircraft here, of course.

SANTA ANA. – A University of Colorado professor conducting a study of unidentified flying objects says that "Photographic evidence of UFOs, when available, is very convincing."

Robert J. Low, project co-ordinator of a Govern-

a controversial 1965 UFO photo previously discredit-

Low termed the picture, taken by Rex Heflin of Santa Ana, as "among the top four or five" items of photographic evidence of UFOs.

that the people should become aware first of his work and contacts. When your readers have become acquainted with the idea of the brothers being under us this very moment and that everyone has the chance to talk to them if he becomes aware of them, then you may talk about my contacts in connection with G.A. Ronald, I cannot tell you what to do, for you must use your own judgement in this matter. When ever you feel to use it then go ahead and do so. I am not afraid to face the people or what ever comes with it, neither is Madeleine.

UNQUOTE.

That is the story of the Quiet Contacts.
Why have I told you all this? Because I know that those who read these words will feel the sincerity of Fred and Ingrid Steckling, and of Madeleine Rod- effer.

The sceptics talk always of people "making a fast buck". Maybe they are right about some. But not about the Stecklings or Madeleine. They are losing money fast, but they are doing the job that George Adamski left them to do, with steadfastness and courage.

What is the lesson from this?
First, – you will make up your own minds as to the truth of their stories, – as George Adamski said so often: "I'm not here to convince you, – just to tell you."

Second, – you are invited to look again at the picture which is painted for you in these sequences of events.

GEORGE ADAMSKI took his story and his films to ANYONE – including authority – and was prepared to face all criticism and expert analysis.
MADELEINE RODEFFER was enabled to take close-up shots of a flying saucer over her garden. This was arranged with the Brothers, and she was expect-ing them. She has shown this film, with G.A.'s, on nation-wide net-works, – she has faced the officials on Capitol Hill. She has met the Brothers.

FRED STECKLING has taken a unique movie-film which has impressed NASA's photographic experts and the men at the Pentagon. He has met the Brothers.

Can it be CO-INCIDENCE all the time? Can they
FAKE unique and impressive evidence ALL THE
TIME?

At this point I might add that whilst George Adamski was on his 1959 world-tour, many separate witnesses in Australia and New Zealand reported activities and formations of saucers over some of the very cities and towns where G.A. lectured.

All this is for the record.

As Fred Steckling wrote in simple words which held a world of meaning:

IMPORTANT IS THE WORK – NOT US.

## 29 sight UFO's over White Sands Range

by Dorrance Guy.
Alamogordo, N.M. – At least 29 White Sands Missile
Range personnel were eyewitnesses to one or more
Unidentified Flying Objects between 10.30 and 11
a.m. Thursday.

News concerning the UFOs has been cutoff by orders from the Pentagon.

All service personnel and civilians working for the services have been forbidden to discuss the sightings.

An investigation is under way at Holloman Air Force Base, N.M., with Maj. James Stephens, UFO officer, in charge. He, too, is not allowed to discuss the sightings.

Terry Clark, president and general manager of
radio station KALG, Alamogordo, said the UFOs first
were spotted near Ruidoso, N.M., then went near
Holloman AFB, then south toward Orogrande, N.M.,
and then disappeared over the Sacramento Moun-
tains.

Information officers at Holloman AFB and WSMR were contacted by Clark and he was told the Flight Safety Office at Kirtland AFB at Albuquerque, N.M., would handle the investigation. Kirtland would make no comment except that all information would have to come from the Pentagon.

Clark called the assigned number at the Pentagon and was told that no information was available.

Capt. Frank J. Morris, director of information at
Holloman AFB, Saturday night said that Maj. Step-
hens is handling the investigation. He said the re-
sults would be sent to Wright-Patterson AFB, Ohio,
and from there would go to the Pentagon. He said
no information would be released except through the
Public Information Office under the Secretary of the
Air Force.

Neither WSMR nor Holloman AFB personnel has any authority in the case.

Clark said eyewitnesses, when they could be identified, would not allow use of their names because of the Air Force regulation.

However, these witnesses estimated that the "silvery discs" were flying at an altitude of "20,000 to 25,000 feet" and moving at a speed of "approximately 2,000 miles per hour."

There were several Air Force planes in the air over WSMR at the time of the sightings. While it

took a few minutes to transfer from Army to Air Force communications, the pilots were notified of the UFOs. They circled around, but none of the pilots was able to see anything unusual.
Missile firings at WSMR were checked. There were none at this time. There was little cloud cover during the half hour involved and, at this time of day, it would be impossible to see a meteor. The objects were moving much faster than a balloon.

One WSMR individual said the UFOs were tracked on radar. There is no accurate estimate of the number of objects spotted. There may have been one – may have been more.

There is no indication when the Pentagon will release any information on the sightings – if ever. From: The El Paso Times, El Paso, Texas. Sunday, March 5th, 1967.

COMMENT: We understand from our source of information that this news item appeared only in El Paso, Texas. Inquiries showed that the Air Force had stopped the incident being reported in the national newspapers. To quote the above news report: "There is no indication when the Pentagon will release any information on the sightings – if ever."

## UFO's over British Columbia

On April 14th, 1967, at about 8.05 p.m., Ian Squire and Scott McNeill (two boys aged about 14) were on their cycles going along Cedar Hill Crossroads, Virginia, B.C. They crossed over Cadboro Bay Road into Upper Terrace Road (Uplands residential district), and proceeded down into Ripon Road as far as the Circle. From there, they saw a red and a green light hovering over what they thought was probably the area of the Uplands Golf Clubhouse on Cadboro Bay Road. They were on their way down to the Yacht Club, and didn't stop to investigate, however. The two lights were not blinking, and seemed stationary (but it must be remembered that on their cycles, they were moving, which prevented their being certain about this last point). The sky was dark and starry: there was hardly any wind at all.

At 8.10 p.m. the same evening, i.e. five or six minutes later, Ian Squire's grandmother (name withheld at witness' request) was driving uphill along Cadboro Bay Road southwards towards the northern gates into The Uplands district, when suddenly she saw a red and a green light over the roadway, i.e. higher than the height of a very tall tree. The witness, who is personally known to me through her daughter and grandson, unfortunately did not stop to investigate. Instead, she continued on right underneath the object which, she said, seemed to be spread entirely over the width of the wide roadway. The two colored lights seemed to be shining only forwards, and to be from 4 to 6 feet from the extrem-

## LIFE'S GIFTS.

Each of us receives life's gifts on Earth. A belief in a continued spiritual life after the comparatively short time of 70 years of physical life here on Earth, compared with the endless cycle of eternity, makes the actions of the moment an investment with far-reaching consequences.

The certainty that Man can choose between good and evil should lead him nearer to his Creator. Further, it should lead to an understanding that Man's life here and later, is more likely to depend on his relation to the spiritual than to the scientific.

Our decisions now will unavoidably determine future actions. Nature around us will hold more unsolved than solved mysteries. But science has won itself sufficient power so that it can open up a Golden Age for Mankind, providing this power is used for good – or destroy it, if the power is used negatively. Religion’s ethical guide-lines are the bonds that can hold civilisation together. Without it Man cannot reach his dearest goal – peace with himsefl, his God and his neighbour.

## UFO-reports

## Soviet radar spots UFOs

MOSCOW - (AP) - A Soviet scientist says there may really be such things as flying saucers from outer space.

At this time I will relate the true facts of my inter-

Soviet radar screens have detected unidentified flying objects (UFOs) for 20 years, he says.

But Soviet scientists, like their colleagues in the West, are still puzzled about what such UFOs really The scientist, identified only as F. Zigel, was writ-ing in the current issue of the illustrated Soviet youth magazine Cmena.

He offered five possible explanations for UFOs, including visitors from outer space. He called this alternative "extremely speculative."

"But," he added, "as the UFO problem has not yet been solved, different explanations, including extremes, are possible."

The article took the lid off a subject rarely discussed in the press here.
In the 1950s the Soviet press scoffed at American reports of flying saucers as just so much cold war propaganda.

By those Soviet accounts, the Americans tried to explain away the "saucers" as some sort of new, secret Soviet weapon.

Reports of flying saucers sighted in the Soviet Union, in the Caucasus and in Central Asia, also were ridiculed here.

Then for several years the Soviet press remained silent on the whole question; the Cmena article showed that the UFO issue is being reopened, this time as an object of serious scientific study.

Zigel was identified as one of the editors of a book, "Inhabited Cosmos," being prepared for publication here. The book will discuss the possibility of living beings in space and efforts to communicate with them.

The chief editor of the book is B. P. Konstantinov, who, as a vice president of the Soviet Academy of Science, is one of this country's most respected scientists.

In his magazine article, Zigel said the "Angel Echo," a UFO detected by radar, is constantly observed by scientists at the Central Aerological Observatory near Moscow.

Similar observations, he said, have been made in the United States, Australia, India and Japan.

"The phenomena of the UFO today should be considered as global," he added.

L

ordered us goblins," he added.
He rejected the idea that birds, insects or plant seeds could cause such reactions on radar screens.
Zigel said there could be no doubt that UFOs exist "but the nature of these objects is still not understandable today."

Then he listed these five possible explanations:

1. NONSENSE or invention. He said there was some untruth here, citing reports of people who claimed to have ridden in flying saucers and others who threw hats in the air and then photographed "saucers". But he rejected this alternative as killing the question rather than solving it.

the question rather than solving it.
2. AN OPTICAL illusion related to the distribution of light in the earth's atmosphere, such as a rain- bow. The UFO, he said, is more complicated than that, however.

3. A NEW SECRET flying apparatus of one of the military powers on earth. "No one holds this view now," he said.

4. AN UNKNOWN phenomena of nature, just as radioactivity was unknown until the end of the last century. In this context, ionized particles and charged particles of dust in the atmosphere were given as a possible explanation. But Zigel said, this does not explain the color or maneuverability of UFOs or their appearance in good weather.

5. SPACESHIPS from an advanced civilization on another planet. Zigel said the speed of UFOs supports this theory. So does what he called "the fact" that no UFOs were ever reliably reported to have landed.

Zigel called for "an all-sided, thorough, scientific exploration" to clear up the origin of UFOs once and for all.

## What Adamski said...

GEORGE ADAMSKI WAS MANY TIMES ACCUSED of being a charlatan, – that is, a person who pretends to have more knowledge or skill than he does have, – an impostor or a cheat. He has been called a faker, because he has produced photographs of so-called space-ships which he claimed to have taken himself. He was a liar, taking money from the credulous with stories of fantasy, saying they were true.

Most of these names were given to him by people who would not have had the courage to say it to his face, or within the presence of a lawyer. If Adamski had invoked the law of libel in every case such as this, not one of his detractors could have proven that the name he had used was applicable, and Adamski could have indeed made money from those claims! But Adamski was not that kind of man. He knew the truth, and therefore no-one could harm his integrity. On this integrity all his subsequent actions rested.

Many incidents is his later life were mis-reported, sometimes out of malice, at other times because of expediency, when insufficient detail was at hand. Many were the garbled reports circulated about one very special occasion. Here, below, is WHAT ADAM-SKI SAID about:

## The royal audience

During my stay in Brisbane I received a letter from Rey d'Aquila of The Hague, Netherlands, requesting me to attend an interview with Queen Juliana on May 18th, 1959. The letter requested an immediate reply. I sent a cable confirming receipt of the letter and consenting to the interview.

Toward the end of April, when I returned to London from lectures in outlying cities of the British Isles, the rumor was out that I was to have an interview with Queen Juliana. I was at the home of Desmond Leslie when the telephone rang. It was a reporter asking for verification of the interview. I admitted only that such a rumor existed, and did not confirm anything.

The reporter was cautioned not to publish anything until it had been confirmed. He agreed to await confirmation, out of respect for Queen Juliana, but his respect was apparently short-lived.

The Daily Herald of April 29th, 1959, London, published the following article under the heading, "Juliana's New Joy – Flying Saucers". The reporter gave this account: "I checked with Juliana's secretary. 'Yes,' the secretary said over the phone from Holland. 'Her Majesty has asked Mr. Adamski to confidential talks. More than that I cannot disclose. The talk will be between the two of them alone.'"

The newspaper accounts which claimed I told reporters of the forthcoming meeting with Queen Juliana were entirely false. One thing is certain: the press was furious. The reporters could not get any information from me so they fabricated stories to save face (and perhaps to protect their jobs!). Newspapers all over the United States copied these false reports and added comments as they passed them on.

An article in the Los Angeles Examiner of May 19th, entitled "In Dutch On Saucer Discussion," stated: "The press has given Adamski, from Los Angeles, a chilly reception. The Catholic People's Party newspaper De Volkskrant, said, for example: 'We are not opposed to a court jester on the green lawns of the Royal Palace, provided he is not taken for an astronomical philosopher.' "

Soon after the newspaper De Volkskrant criticized my interview with Queen Juliana, several other Dutch papers followed suit and began to speak in a critical vein. The more dignified papers, however, presented straightforward accounts like the following:

"QUEEN JULIANA SEES U.S. WRITER, Hour's Discussion on Space Travel, from our correspondent. THE HAGUE, May 19th. Queen Juliana and the Prince of the Netherlands today received, at Soestdijk Palace, Mr. George Adamski, the American author of several books on space travel. The Queen and Prince Bernhard had a talk lasting about an hour with Mr. Adamski. It is understood that the talk was of a purely informative character. The Queen and Prince Bernhard wanted to become acquainted with Mr. Adamski and his views.

"Those who were present at the conversation included Mr. C. Kolff, president of the Royal Netherlands Society for Aviation, Lieutenant-General H. Schaper, Chief of the Royal Netherlands Air Staff, Professor Jongbloed, of Utrecht University, an expert in medical science dealing with aviation, and Professor Rooy, of Amsterdam University, who gives lectures on mass communication.

"Mr. Adamski, who claims to have flown round the moon in a flying saucer and to have been in contact with inhabitants of the planet Venus, is lecturing in The Hague and Amsterdam."

As I am a common man with no title or position, some newspapers questioned the Queen's right to invite me to the palace. A true ruler, or representative of the people, can gain knowledge from the lowest as well as the highest sources.

The press called the Queen gullible and accused her of falling for strange things. This is not true. She is only interested in all new things of life, as a ruler should be. We are living in times when on every hand things are changing. Unless the rulers are well informed, they cannot serve their people well.

Queen Juliana has the welfare of her people at heart. Therefore she has an open mind that permits her to look at all facets of life, not bowing to the dictates of the few; and so she was not persuaded to cancel the appointment.

view with the Queen. They have never been published before. The press reports quoting questions and answers from the interview were falsified, as no reporters were allowed inside the palace during the interview!

I left London and arrived in Amsterdam on the 15th of May, 1959. Miss Rey d'Aquila and some newspaper reporters were at the airport to meet me. I was still suffering from the cold I had caught in Scotland, so I excused myself and was taken to a small hotel on the outskirts of Amsterdam.

small hotel on the outskirts of Amsterdam.
The next afternoon I was called to a television rehearsal for a program that was to be given that evening. This was on May 16th, and I showed my film on the program. The reception by the public of my subject and the film was very good.

After the rehearsal, we drove back to the hotel, picked up my luggage and left for The Hague. Miss d'Aquila had arranged transportation by automobile, and I arrived at The Hague about midnight.

My hotel was in a quiet residential district, across the street from a beautiful park. The first day was set aside for me to rest. That morning I unpacked my camera and walked through the park to the ocean. Several restful hours were spent strolling around and photographing the local scenery.

I had been placed in this secluded hotel purposely to avoid the press. When the newsmen could not locate me, they became very irritated. Those in charge of publicity would not say where I was staying, and the manager of the hotel had been given orders not to reveal my presence. For one day and evening I was able to relax.

On the morning of May 18th, I had breakfast and readied myself for the visit to Soestdijk Palace near Utrecht. The Palace car was to call for me at about 10.30 a.m. This was an informal meeting, so my business suit was proper attire. I had been carefully coached on the proper etiquette and conduct in the presence of my royal hosts. When the car arrived, I was introduced to the chauffeur who held the door open as I entered. To evade the press, we avoided the customary highway to the palace.

We entered the palace garden through a gate opened by a guard who saluted smartly as we passed. I noticed the highway in front of the palace was empty as we turned into the grounds. A winding driveway, bordered by massive shrubs, brought us to the huge entrance. My mind was so taken up in trying to remember all the instructions I had been given that I failed to notice much about the palace itself, except that it was white. The chauffeur had spoken very few words as we rode along and had given me a mind to relieve my throat when I coughed.

It was 11.00 a.m. when the car stopped in front of the entrance. A uniformed attendant opened the door, saluted, and escorted me up the broad steps to the palace doors, which were opened by two doormen dressed in royal blue, who also saluted. When I entered, one of these men helped me out of my top coat and muffler; the other escorted me into a large library with high ceiling.

I had been nervous with anticipation, but a feeling of calm and ease came over me as I stood in the presence of the Queen. She and the others present were standing when I entered the room. The Queen's secretary came forward and introduced me to Her Majesty, Queen Juliana. In turn, I was presented to

Majesty, Queen Juliana. In turn, I was presented to Prince Bernhard; Lt. General Schaper, Chief of the Royal Netherlands Air Staff; Professor Jongbloed, of Aerial Medicine; Dr. M. Rooy, Telecommunications; and Mr. Kolff, President of the Royal Netherlands Society for Aviation.

When the Queen acknowledged the introduction, I completely forgot all the instructions and could not remember the formalities that should have been followed. Instead, I acted upon my feelings and was at ease, for here was a feeling of welcome as among friends.

The Queen graciously asked if I drank coffee. When I replied that I did, coffee was served in large cups of beautiful design, while we remained standing. After all had been served, we were asked to be seated. That coffee was the best I had had since leaving America!

We were at one end of the library, seated in lounge chairs assembled in a horseshoe position. Directly across from me sat the Queen. Next to her was the Prince, and on my right, next to the Prince, was a gentleman who acted as spokesman for him. As I remember, this gentleman was Mr. Kolff. Seated on my left were the other three gentlemen already named. The secretary was seated a little apart from the others.

Small pastries were served, and as we sat enjoying the refreshments and indulging in informal conversation, I noted that Her Majesty wore a light blue frock. The men were dressed in black suits with white shirts and black ties.

Cigarettes were passed. Then the secretary opened the topic for which I had been summoned. She referred to my two books and asked a question regarding my trip around the moon. I was aware of having been granted only forty-five minutes, so I made my answers as brief as possible.

The astronomer and Air Force chief asked questions next, trying to discredit the interplanetary visitors. As I think of it now, perhaps my answer was a little rude in the presence of royalty, for I said: "I have known of no major officials of our Air Force, and few astronomers, who have told what they actually know about the visitors from space. It is a known fact that the secret files and confidential reports of the Air Force have never been released to the public, or even to high officers in the government. I am inclined to believe this applies to all governments." I think Her Majesty knew exactly what I meant, for she gave a tiny smile of acknowledgment.

I pointed out that most of the findings of our Earth
satellite had been published in my books at least
three years before.
Many questions were asked about inhabitants of

pulses come from the animal's glands and its reactions are wholly automatic. The make-up of an animal allows no room for freedom of choice, searching curiosity or doubt or conflict between impulses and ethical standards.

An animal knows nothing of that strange voice called conscience, which tells us what is right and what is wrong. Only Mankind is equipped with the conflicts which arise, because it is created in God's Image. And only Mankind is equipped with a soul which enables it to master the problems caused by these conflicts.

Today, thousands of scientists are at work on the most momentous task Mankind has ever faced: an attempt to understand a physical Universe which is unending in time and space, complicated in its detail and impressive in its orderliness, and to understand its origin and how it functions.

It is no longer a sufficient explanation of the aims of science to say that it seeks to find the physical laws which govern the Universe and increases Man-kind's control over it, because science's field of endeavour has increased in size. The basic elements of science are collective experiences, observations and the setting of certain goals at which to aim. From these the scientist tries to make a model of time, proportions and cause. When one gains new knowledge the old model is not rejected, it is just altered where the new knowledge points to an alteration.

By reason of the fact that the scientist is willing to alter his model of the Universe, he shows that he does not demand to know the final truth. His scientific laws are at most only re-writings of the observations he has made.

The laws of science do not control the reality but attempts only to explain it. Therefore the laws can be altered when one attains new knowledge.

## NEW AIMS.

The tasks which science sets itself are never-ending. For truth is no static concept. For every new answer arrived at, a dozen new concepts come into view.

view.
Science stands before new frontiers in many fields of endeavour: the nucleus of the atom becomes more and more enigmatic – the origin and composition of the Universe is still shrouded in mystery – the inner functions of living organisms still allow of no explanation. Science’s Golden Age lies ahead of us.
The scientist works in an atmosphere where doubt

The scientist works in an atmosphere where doubt is an accepted fact of life and exaggerated orthodoxy taboo. Thomas Huxley says of the scientist: "For him scepticism is a first duty and blind faith an unforgivable sin". A result of scientific progress is that traditions, which are the buttresses of faith, have been swept aside. The sciences and religion have therefore often collided. And yet it is one of the tragedies of our time that science and religion have become adversaries. Because to achieve a solution of the conflict it has been tempting to adopt a policy of peaceful co-existence, to divide our ex-

periences into two different areas, to give science control over the one and religion control over the other.

Let science explore the physical world, whilst religion takes care of the other, people say. When science has reached its limits, then religion can take over and explain that which allows of no explanation. This is a fateful step to take. To separate the two worlds could only be done if scientists were not Christians and no Christians were scientists. But science and religion do not reign over two separate kingdoms.

## INVISIBLE.

It is not possible to build a wall between religion and science. Gradually, as science is enabled to explain some of the mysteries of the Universe it comes into areas which were previously unknown or only accepted on a basis of faith.

Every new experience – physical or spiritual – must fit into a pattern which gives both faith and meaning. It is Mankind that explores the Universe, experiments, and seeks for the truth. It is not just a detail, it takes part itself in the process of creation. Mankind itself is the product and result of the Creati

kind itself is the greatest result of the Creation.
The fact that more and more of the wonders of
Creation are being disclosed is of direct concern to
Mankind.

Science and religion can be compared with two windows in a house, through which we can observe the world around us or our neighbours. (There are other windows to be found in the house: Art, Literature and History). Whatever we may see through the windows of this imaginary house, it must fit in with the model we have of the Universe and our place in it.

Where it does not fit, we must alter the model, alter our aim and try to increase our ability to understand the Creation.

In our modern society it would appear that many people think that the advances made by science have caused such things as religious belief to become out-of-place and old-fashioned. They cannot understand why we should "believe" in something, when science can tell us that we "know" so much. The simple answer to this assertion is that we are aware of more of nature's mysteries today than people were before the advent of scientific research. There is absolutely no reason to believe that God cannot retain His place in our modern times in the same way as before we began to examine His Creation with telescope and ion-accelerators.

Even though science is no religion, it is, by nature of its assumptions, its application and its search for the truth, a religious function. The Creator reveals Himself through His Creations. As Charles A. Coulson says: "Science helps us to create a picture of God". We must remember that science only exists because there are people, and its concepts exist only in people's understanding. Behind these concepts lies reality, which God can reveal to us.

DR. WERNHER VON BRAUN.

"It is one of the tragedies of our time, that science and religion have become adversaries", says Dr. Wernher von Braun, who is one of the world's leading space-researchers, head of the George C. Marshall Space-travel Centre in Alabama, one of the brains behind the Gemini Project and the U.S.A.'s project for the first manned moon rocket, to be sent up in 1969.

THE TWO STRONGEST FORCES which go to create our present-day civilisation are science and religion. Through science Man seeks to learn more of the mysteries of Creation. Through religion he seeks to understand the Creator.

They are not independent of each other. It is just as difficult for me to understand a scientist who cannot perceive a Higher Reality behind the origin of the Universe, as it is to understand a theologian who denies the advances made by science. Science and religion are far from being independent of each other, neither are they opposing forces; on the contrary they are as brothers. Both are striving for a better world. While science seeks to uncover the forces of Nature around us, religion is trying to discover the forces in Man himself.

As we gradually gain a greater knowledge of nature so we become more impressed and humbled by its orderliness and never-failing perfection. Our extensive knowledge of the Universe and its laws has made it possible for us to send people out from their natural surroundings into unknown space and bring them safely back to earth again.

## ENDLESSNESS OF THE UNIVERSE.

Manned space-flights are pioneer works. But until now they have only begun to open the door out toward the endlessness of the Universe.

That which we can see of the mysteries of the Universe through the crack in that door only confirms our belief in its Creator. Mankind with its limited understanding cannot comprehend an omni-

present, almighty, all-knowing and eternal God.
Every attempt to create a picture of God and reduce Him so that He can be comprehended offers but further proof of His Greatness. I believe it best if one, through Faith, accepts God as a proof of Goodwill, which throughout history manifests itself more and more as the ability of Mankind to understand, grows.

It gives peace of mind to think of God as the Father of all, and the resultant thought, that all men are brothers, is an ethical guide-line.

Scientists only know that in nature nothing is destroyed without being converted into energy. Not even the tiniest particle can disappear without leaving a trace. Nature knows nothing of annihilation, only change. Would God have had less consideration for His Masterpiece, the Human Soul?

For me immortality means a continuation of our spiritual existence after death.

Mankind has had a belief in a life after death since the dawn of history. This has been as essential part of the primitive cultures' religions and it has been preserved in higher developed religions and philosophies.

The significance of this is of far more importance than the pronouncements of philosophers and theologians about what we can expect when we leave this world. From the dawn of time the conception of immortality has had its influence on untold millions of people.

other planets. I retold much of what I had written in my second book. The major questions of our conference dealt with our future in outer space.

Awareness of time was lost as we all grew interested in the conversation about outer space. What began as a forty-five minute interview lasted two hours. Finally the Queen reminded me that my lecture started in less than an hour. Interest was so great in the topic, if it had not been for the lecture, we could have kept talking for hourse.

When the Queen reminded me of the time, I arose and we all shook hands in a very friendly manner. I was deeply impressed with the firm sincere grasp of Her Majesty and the Prince. The spokesman for the Prince escorted me to the car. During the conference he had stated he would like to take a trip with the space people and he repeated the request as we descended the steps to the waiting car.

As we were leaving the Palace grounds, I noticed a large group of people standing across the highway and facing the Palace. As the car came through the gate, many of these people gave the familiar salute. Possibly they only wanted to get a look at the common man who had been granted a private

interview with the Queen, and whom the press had described as an "objectionable" visitor. On the fast trip back to the hotel, I noticed crowds of people along the highway, saluting as we passed.
Arriving at the hotel, we found a car waiting to

Arriving at the hotel, we found a car waiting to take me to the lecture at The Hague. The Queen's chauffeur asked if he might attend the lecture and was granted permission to do so.

Due to the long interview at the Palace, I arrived twenty minutes late at the lecture hall where a capacity crowd was waiting. The people present were filled with curiosity and anticipation in regard to my meeting with Queen Juliana. Reporters especially were insistent that I give them all the details. This I could not do, for the meeting had been on a level of dignity that denied me the privilege of speaking until the Queen spoke first. All I could say was: "The Queen was very kind, and if there were more people like her the world would be a better place to live in." A tremendous burst of applause took place, and from there on the lecture proceeded as normal.

After the lecture, the reporters crowded around me asking, "What did the Queen say?" "It is the Queen's honor to speak first," I replied. This made the press very dissatisfied with me. Some went so far as to write up a fictitious interview, complete with questions and answers.

When I returned to my hotel I was grateful that no one knew where I was, for now I could relax and go over the events of the day.

A radio was in my room, and the next morning I tuned it to the BBC since I could not understand the Dutch of local stations. On an early-morning program called The News of Europe, I was very much surprised to hear a report from a Russian scientist stating that the moon was not composed of volcanic dust, but rather of granite formations sim-

ilar to Earth. Many green spots that looked like vegetation had been observed on the other side of the moon. This confirmed some of the things I had told the Queen during our two-hour conference.

I was curious to know just how the Russians had gained this information. My friends and I discussed the possibilities later that morning. Was it possible that a Russian had made a trip as I had, or did they receive the information from their moon shot that went into orbit around the sun? (Information received at the time of this writing seems to confirm that they did.)

Before the morning was over I was asked if I would accept an interview with Fox Movietone in downtown Hague. I would be called for and taken to the appointed place so I agreed.

The selected place was a large hotel in the centre of town. Our car was parked across the street from the building. I was told to walk across the street and enter the hotel. Camera were ready and set for operation, but I had to rehearse the walk several times before pictures were finally taken. In the final take, the large glass doors, framed in brass, opened automatically and I entered the hotel.

I was greeted by many people, including the manager of the hotel, and received the customary salute. This was not photographed. I was taken to a large room where cameras and sound equipment were in place. Here I was seated beside a small mahogany table which held a bouquet of American Beauty roses. My interrogator was seated on my right. His first question was: "The world wants to know what the Queen had to say."

My answer was that Her Majesty and His Royal Highness were deeply interested in the future of outer space development. The interrogator was very dissatisfied with my reply and tried to get me to relate our conversation in some detail. When I refused, he hurried through the other questions, and the news conference was over. I was told this newsreel would be shown all over the world, but I have no reports of it ever having been shown.

It is interesting to note that, after my visit to the Palace, wherever I went in Holland I received the salute from those who recognised me. Perhaps this is a customary honor paid to one who has been received by the Queen.

On Friday May 22nd, I received an invitation from the manager of the City Theatre in downtown Amsterdam, to attend the preview of an Italian film, Death Comes From Outer Space.

The death that came from outer space was a gigantic asteroid travelling at terrific speed directly toward the earth. This asteroid was formed from all the debris blown into space by our atomic and hydrogen explosions. The people of the Earth were in a panic, for they were warned that at any moment it could hit our planet and cause complete destruction. Meanwhile, huge tidal waves and heavy earthquakes were wreaking havoc in many places throughout the world.

124

ufo contact

The scientists of all nations called upon the military in every other nation to aim their atomic missiles at the asteroid and to fire simultaneously. In this way the asteroid was destroyed by the same weapons that had caused its creation.

Representatives of the press were present at the showing. After it was over, I was asked if such a thing could happen in real life. I replied that it could and gave the following explanation:

"The lightning bolt is created from invisible particles of matter that are fused together by the terrific heat of a natural electrical discharge. It is entirely possible for the millions of tons of debris that have been blown into the upper regions of the earth's atmosphere to come together and form an artificial asteroid. The larger the mass of debris, the more attraction it would have for additional particles."

This picture alerted me to the possibility that radiation and fallout are not the only dangers we might be facing from our atomic explosions.

Reports have come from Mexico stating that a huge fireball crashed into a mountain just before the disastrous earthquake there in August of 1959.

Recently several planes have reportedly hit objects from space. Some have survived; others have crashed to their doom. Could they have crashed into some of the high-energy pockets left by our explosions?

Some of these man-made asteroids burn and glow, and could be mistaken for ordinary meteorites. This may also be the answer to some of the fireballs that have been reported.

By the way of closing this chapter, I would like to reproduce in part a letter concerning the lecture in Amsterdam, sent to co-workers in The Netherlands area. It was written by Miss Rey d'Aquila, dated June 13th, 1959, and reads as follows:

"At the end of the lecture in Amsterdam, Professor E. L. Seelliger of Bergen (NH), physicist and former Delft Professor, stepped on the platform and thanked 'our friend Adamski' in public for the things that he had brought us. Quoting him exactly: 'The things that we have heard may sound strange to most of us, if not all, but strange things happen every day, if our eyes are open. I hope that we will be open-minded and benefit from the things we have heard today.'

"The audience applauded heartily. (Inside information: Professor Seelliger is in good relation to the Queen and if we take his mental courage and her interest and deep understanding, we may conclude that after all George Adamski's visit to our country has been a successful one and the stepping stone to a better future.)"

Regarding my interview with the Queen, I will again quote from the report: "But one thing we can say for sure, no press reporters were present. So what the press had further to say about his audience was a big lie from the first to the last line! Paris Match, for instance, carried a wholly imaginative 'Interview With The Queen', complete with questions and answers!"

I wish those imaginative reporters could have been present during my interview with Queen Juliana. They might have learned something of dignity, kindness and gentility, from a great woman who rules her country with wisdom and love.

fantasy, others think that initially it had some meaning. Two centuries ago the mystery attracted the German astronomer, Johan Kepler, while more recently, scientists held an international symposium to discuss the matter.

But neither Kepler nor contemporary scientists found the key to the problem, which may turn out to have an altogether unexpected solution.

In antiquity and the Middle Ages human imagination was stirred by an unusual star, now believed to be the Star of Bethlehem. The star was alleged to be able to move and stop.

From that let us turn to the Christian Apocrypha-books banned by Church censorship from services and religious reading. The Apocrypha reflects man's efforts to explain the most dramatic mysteries of life. These books sometimes stand in direct contradiction of Church-approved texts.

A familiar one about early Christianity is called "The Tale About the Three Magi". The original version must have been written in Latin in the middle of the third century at the earliest, and later translated into many languages. A 15th-century Byelorussian translation made five centuries before the space era contains a highly unusual interpretation of the tale. The star, it says, was watched by astronomers (this is the actual word used) in many Oriental countries. Once it appeared at night and "lit up the whole of the sky as the sun does." Then the star hung over Mount Vans for a whole day, after which it alighted on the mountain like an eagle.

The text contains a reference to "certain books" which claim that Christ came down from that star. "But it was different from the one pictured in our churches. It had wings, the kind an eagle has, and many long rays.", which sent it moving in a circle when it descended upon Mount Vans.

This version of the old story unexpectedly introduces a new image and a new idea, both sharply at variance with the church texts. Without question, the apocryphal version is fantastic. But it is hardly more fantastic than the approved canonic version. What was at the basis of the author's fantasy? That, too, is shrouded in mystery.

without an angel's halo. He holds an unseen "control column" and looks behind him as if watching the flight of his fellow-spaceman. Sitting in the spaceship following is another man, who also has nothing in common with the traditional angel and also has one hand on the "controls".

Both ships have streamlined bodies. Clearly visible jets in their wake accentuate the impression of speed. "The saints in the flying machines are in the position of pilots", says the magazine.

Angels watching the flight cover their eyes and ears with their hands and seem to be backing away for fear of being blinded of deafened. Below, two groups are pictured, every face portraying surprise, fear, or perplexity. The central figure represents the crucified Christ.

The fresco depicting the Resurrection of Christ looks just as odd. The Messiah looks as if he is in a rocket which has not yet begun to move, explains the Yugoslav magazine. Indeed, the vehicle looks very much like a space rocket, with a two-wing stabilizer in its upper part. With his right hand Christ is trying to lift aboard the ship one of the people standing on the ground before starting on his way to the heavenly kingdom.

Monks at Dechany, to whom experts turned for an explanation, replied that apparently the drawings of "ships" are pictures of the Sun and the Moon. According to New Testament legend, Christ was crucified during a solar eclipse. But why the "sun" is depicted rising in the west the monks could not say.

One of the papers on the Dechany miracle refers to a hypothesis saying that Christ was a man who came down to Earth from space. The magazine comments that such ideas are "overbold", that the hypothesis, if confirmed, "would basically alter the Biblical story about Christ". The frescoes, it is noted, showing objects obviously resembling sputniks, "baffle layman and specialist alike."

The Dechany "Miracle" is not unique. An icon in the Church Archaeology Study of the Moscow Theological Academy, called The Resurrection of Jesus Christ and dating back to the 17th century, shows Christ in a streamlined container which vaguely resembles a spaceship standing on the ground. Smoke billows from both sides of the container's lower part, enveloping the legs of the angels who watch from the sidelines. Just as on the Dechany fresco, Christ's right hand lifts a man (the church version identifies him with Adam). Eve waits for her turn on the other side.

The icon is surely of an apocryphal nature. There may have been a written version presenting a non-canonical view of Christ's resurrection and ascension, but if there is, nothing is known about it. Possibly it was destroyed by Church censors or else it disappeared with time. Or perhaps the manuscript exists undiscovered, in which case it may have inspired icon (or mural) painters to present space episodes. (Continued).

to the Conference Special Agencies related to the
subject.

The proposed representation should be headed by the world's most highly honored, awarded and respected scientist in the field of Space and Rockets-the "father of astronautics" Prof. Dr. Hermann Oberth. The team of scientists should be completed according to enclosure No. 1. with highly competent scientific UFO researchers whose statements can be screened and verified on the basis of various documentation media in possession of our world-wide analytic network, such as; existing records of the UFO observers, embracing continental documentation by historical background, statistics, photographs, motion pictures, and other documentations exhibited and witnessed by originators, about the UFOs and their global reconnaissance activities.

As a former international civil servant on your staff, and founder of the Intercontinental UFO Net-work, supporting our request, may I call your attention to the constructive and progressive values of my proposals, submitted during the last year, to your cabinet, assisting voluntarily the UFO problem within the framework of the UN, which have already been realized during the past 11 months.

1) The PROJECT UN-UFO, the organization scheme of an international analytic team within your staff, to keep under control the UFO global surveillance, and its 135 documentation, has been objected to by the government of the United States of America as "nonsense" . . . but in spite of this, the same government, instead of investing money in the investigation at the U.N. has, three months later, invested 300 thousand dollars for the same purpose in the Colorado University. The U.S. government has casually been investigating UFO cases, classified as "Confidential" since 1944, under project names, such as, Sigma, Grudge, and Bluebook. Valuated backwards this represents budgetary expenditures amounting to more millions of dollars.

## 2) The INTERCONTINENTAL SPACE SECURITY

PACT proposal, submitted to your cabinet on May 10, 1966 has been accepted in part, in that the Articles No., 1. II. V. and Par., 1.2.3.4.5. 14., therein have been transferred to the Governing Principles of Peaceful Uses of Outer Space Treaty, which was negotiated in the Outer Space Committee, – a resolution adopted by acclamation by the General Assembly last December 19, and signed by 62 nations,

.

- exploring in outer space. The transplanted articles of the mentioned Security Pact are as follows:
a. earth and earthman security - supreme constitutional authority of UN in relation to outer space in articles No. I.III.V.IX.

b. establishment of international responsibility for damages by exploring nations in articles No. VI. and VII.

c. astronauts to be considered envoys of the UN., expressed as "envoys of mankind" in articles

- No. V.
d. not prohibited of high explosive weapons in manned space crafts for self defense in outer

ufo contact

space and celestial bodies, in article No. VI.
e. all "phenomena" observed in space and celestial bodies to be reported to the Secretary General in article No. V. is exactly an "unexplained UFO Article" from article No. V.

The enclosure No. 2. clearly shows, that these articles were not proposed in the original issues of the "Treaty Draft" by the United States filed 24 hours before, – while the USSR filed 20 days after my Space Security Pact proposal, which had been filed and issued to all the UN Missions on June 27, 1966. See the enclosed letter to the Perm. Mission of Italy to the UN. /Enclosure No. 2./ (Enclosures No's 2 and 3 are not included as we have dealt at length with these items in previous issues of UFO CONTACT – Ed.)

In the enclosure No. 3 you will find the constitutional build up for the Intercontinental UFO Observer & Analytic Network. The Press Release for which, dated January 11, 1967, was usually silenced as . . . "not in the public interest".

In spite of all this, there has been an increase of UFO appearances in the past year and a growing impatience on the part of the public with the governments' policies in this regard. We are convinced now more than ever that this proposal to accept information from world famous authorities will meet with the wholehearted approval of the United Nations. For the first time perhaps, an opportunity will be afforded to study first hand the voluminous evidence that has heretofore been suppressed.

It is a special honor for us to assist the United
Nations through our continental representation in the
UFO problem.

We are awaiting your information regarding our proposal. In behalf of our continental representatives, I remain

very respectfully yours

The Dechany Monastery in Kosovskaya Metehia, southern Yugoslavia, was built in the first half of the 14th century, and by 1350 contained numerous frescoes on subjects from the Old and New Testaments. In the spring of 1964 more frescoes were found in the monastery. The Yugoslav magazine Svet published photographs entitled: "Spaceships on the Dechany Crucifix, Sputniks in our frescoes, Could ancient icon-painters have depicted spaceships in Dechany?" It did not take a journalist's imagination to think up titles like these. Dechany frescoes actually depict angels flying in spaceships like the present sputniks.

## A Soviet contribution

IT IS RARE INDEED that we read or hear of the Russian views on "Flying Saucers", although, in the fifties they were referred to as an example of American "war psychosis". However, in this issue of UFO CONTACT, you can read an account of recent Soviet moves regarding the UFO-case. (See "Soviet Radar Spots UFO".)

Here, below, we bring you a Russian writer's account of his research into the problems and mysteries of extraterrestrial visitations. Condensed from the book "Na Sushe i na more" - "On Land and at Sea" - we can see how the writer has followed many of the same threads of Biblical and pre - History as

have a number of his Western contemporaries. The author has spent 30 years collecting evidence to back up his thesis that intelligent beings from outer space have had contact with our Earth. He has written two books, "Cosmic Reminiscences in Written Relics of the Past", and "The Evolution of the Universe and Intelligent Beings."

With acknowledgements to the "SPUTNIK" monthly digest, Jan. 1967, we present the article in two parts. Here is Part One, of -

## Visitors from outer space

by
acheslav Zaitsev.

Expanding knowledge about the Universe usually means more puzzles than discoveries. As man unravels each new mystery, he is assailed by fresh doubts and torments, for he has caught a glimpse of another mystery lying ahead. For the explorer – in any field – it is probably this yet undiscovered territory vaguely seen in the distance that sparks the search for knowledge.

A report by a Chinese archaeologist startled the world when it was published in 1965, for he had out of old bits of knowledge pieced together an amazing theory of space-ships on a visit to the earth 12,000 years ago. The German magazine, "Das Vegetarische Universum", wrote of his research:

"For a quarter of a century archaeologists exploring caves in the Bayan-Kara-Ula Mountains, on the border of China and Tibet, have been finding old-looking stone discs covered with unreadable patterns and hieroglyphs. A total of 716 such discs have been discovered, apparently dating back several thousand years.

"Like a gramophone record, each disc has a hole in its centre from which a double groove spirals its way to the circumference. The grooves are not sound-tracks, but the oddest writing in China and indeed the rest of the world."

Archaeologists and decipherers of ancient writing racked their brains trying to solve the secret of the spirals. The result of the research by the Chinese archaeologist was so shattering that the Peking Academy of Pre-History banned publication of his work. Eventually permission was obtained and the professor and his four colleagues published their collective effort under the intriguing title "Groove Writing Relating to Spaceships which, as Recorded on the Discs, Existed 12,000 Years Ago."

The caves high up in the Bayan-Kara-Ula Moun-
tains are inhabited by the Ham and Dropa tribes –
frail, stunted men averaging four feet two inches in
height. So far they have defied ethnic classification.
In fact, any detailed information about the tribes is

extremely scarce.
When deciphered, one of the hieroglyphs presumably set down by an ancient member of the Ham tribe read: "The Dropas came down from the clouds in their gliders. Our men, women and children hid in

the caves ten times before the sunrise. When at last they understood the sign language of the Dropas, they realized that the newcomers had peaceful intentions . . ."

Another Ham hieroglyph expresses regret over the loss of the tribe's own spaceships during a dangerous landing in high mountains, and the failure to build new ones.

In the opinion of Chinese archaeologists, the Bayan-Kara-Ula hieroglyphs are so mysterious that their interpretation and use for scientific research require the utmost care.

To obtain further information, the discs were scraped free of adhering rock particles and sent to Moscow for study. Scientists there made two important discoveries. The discs were found to contain a large amount of cobalt and other metals – a shaking discovery. Further investigation revealed that the discs vibrate in an unusual rhythm, as if they carried an electric charge or were part of an electric circuit. The 12,000 year-old discs remain a challenge to science.

Legends of ancient China say that small, gaunt, yellow-faced men came down from the clouds. But earthly tribesmen felt a revulsion for the visitors, whose enormous heads and extremely thin, weak bodies made them look ugly, and "some people on fast horses" beat them.

Reality seems to confirm the legends. In some of the Bayan-Kara-Ula caves archaeologists and spelaeologists have found 12,000 year-old vestiges of graves and skeletons. The remains belong to human beings with huge craniums and underdeveloped skeletons. The Chinese expeditions which discovered the grounds reported they had found "an extinct species of ape." But so far as is known apes do not bury each other in graves or write hieroglyphic symbols on stone discs.

What makes the issue doubly involved is that the inner walls of the caves are covered in many places with pictures of the rising sun, the moon, and the stars, spaced by a multitude of pea-sized dots (possibly tiny pictures) which seem to be approaching the Earth in a mountain area.

## CELESTIAL EGGS.

Peruvian legend has it that the ancient inhabitants of Peru were born from bronze, gold and silver eggs which had fallen from heaven. The tale is cited but left without comment in Jean Elisee Reclus' famous book "La Terre."

A variant of the egg legend is featured in the famous Tassili frescoes, which were found in the heart of the Sahara by a French lieutenant named Brenand. Shortly afterwards the place was examined by a French expedition led by Henri Lotte, who later wrote The Search for the Frescoes of Tassili. In addition to pictures of animals and hunting scenes, the frescoes depict strange figures dressed in what looks like spacesuits and spherical helmets. The helmets are definitely attached to the suits, which evoke no associations with ritual headdress or hunt-

ing gear. Nor is there any association with the hunters who, as some scholars assume, used ostrich eggshells for helmets. Lotte called the enigmatic figures Martians.

Describing the ancient drawings on the cave walls the French explorer says that one of them depicts "a man appearing from an egg-shaped object covered with concentric circles. The object resembles an egg, or possibly a snail."

So the Peruvian legend and the Tassili frescoes seem to have much in common. But the parallel does not end there. At a later date, in yet another part of the world, the same subject was treated by ancient Greek sculptors, certain of whom portrayed Castor and Pollux of Dioscuria, as well as Helen and Nemesis, with remnants of egg-shells on their heads, for according to Greek mythology they arose from celestial eggs.

How did the odd idea of man's birth from an egg take shape? Perhaps by analogy with birds or fish? But why falling from the sky? One Latin American legend says that eggs dropped down from the sky on dandelions! The absence of any existing interpretation of this art leaves the door open for what must seem a fantastic assumption: that the legend of the celestial eggs, like any other myth or legend, could have originated from bonafide impressions of an actual event. An ancient man may once have seen a container with a human being in it descend from the sky, and imagined that the visitor was emerging from a celestial egg.

## "VISITING CARDS" OF SPACE TRAVELLERS.

During excavations at different times in Japan archaeologists found figurines (dogu) depicting a kind of human or anthropoid in odd-looking "space suits" and with helmets wholly covering their heads. On the helmets were visible marks of something like slit-type glasses, breath-filters, antennae, hearing aids and even nightsight devices.

Reviewing the latest Soviet space achievements, the German magazine Freie Welt in issue No. 12, 1966, printed a selection of rock drawings and photographs of dogu under the humorous title, "Visiting Cards?", declaring that such drawings and figurines might be construed as proof that the Earth was once visited by space beings.

Many similar rock pictures have been discovered throughout the world. There are pictures of space-men on cave walls in the Val Comonique, the Swiss Alps, in Australia, close to Fergana and near the city of Navoi, in Soviet Central Asia.

Puzzles that may have started with a space visitor are contained in legends and myths. Legends of Australia, the Near East, South and Central America and the Far East all tell of the descent of gods from the sky. They offer food for thought.

## THE STAR OF BETHLEHEM.

The phrase "Star of Bethlehem" is twenty centuries old. Some regard it as a product of sheer

Subj: Request for Information on Sightings of Unidentified Aerial Phenomena in the Dallas-Ft. Worth Area

1. A subcommittee of the National Investigations Committee on Aerial Phenomena, (NICAP), has recently been established in the Dallas-Ft. Worth area. NICAP is a private, non-profit organization directed by Major Donald E. Keyhoe, USMC (Ret) from the National Headquarters in Washington, D. C. The purpose of the organization is to conduct scientific investigation of Unidentified Flying Objects. It now has 14,000 associate members in 50 states. The organization is not interested in the alleged psychic, occult, mystical, or religious aspects of UFO phenomena.

2. NICAP subcommittees, of which there are 30 in the United States, are composed of qualified individuals in technical or investigative fields, who are selected and appointed by the Washington office.

3. NICAP is currently working closely with the Colorado Project, a comprehensive study of UFO's begun in November 1966, by a group of distinguished scientists at the University of Colorado under a U. S. Air Force contract.

4. The local subcommittee earnestly solicits your support in reporting to the Committee Chairman any UFO sightings occuring in this area. It is especially important that the NICAP committee be contacted immediately in cases of reported UFO sightings where photographs have been taken or physical evidence remains after the observation.

Dear Mr. Hoover:

December 7, 1963, I observed in the sky at Moorestown, New Jersey, an unusual object and its unusual behavior. On December 8, 1963, just 24 hours later at Elkton, Maryland, the Pan American Aircraft with 73 passengers and a crew of eight perished when this aircraft exploded in mid air and crashed.

I sent a tape recording of the observation I had made on December 7, to Mr. J. Edgar Hoover and associated this object with the crash of this plane. Mr. Hoover informed me that the Civil Aeronautics Board was investigating this disaster and what I had sent to him would be forwarded to them, the C.A.B.



In the month of March, 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 New Jersey. Senator Case mailed me the official report by the C.A.B., along with a letter by a Mr. John Dregge, Director Community and Congressional Relations.

Upon reading the Official C.A.B. report on this accident and also this letter I have come to the conclusion that neither the C.A.B. or the writer of this letter know what they are talking about and have missed the point completely.

I claimed that the object which I seen was laying air mines and that this aircraft was destroyed by contact with one of these mines.

To substantiate my claim I would refer you to page 8 line 20 to line 24 inclusive of this report File #1-0015. Boeing 707-121 N709PA Pan American World Airways, Inc., near Elkton, Maryland, December 8, 1963.

Page 8 line 20 to line 25 inclusive reads as follows:

(Metal splatters on the leading edge of the horizontal stabilizer were identified by spectrographic analysis as being formed from two different aluminum alloys. However, these alloys could not be identified since the chemical composition 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 4 degrees outboard.)

On July 18, 1964, I made another observation, the details of which I sent to Harvard College Observatory, Cambridge, Mass. (This sighting was Astronomical not a man made object), a copy of their return letter is enclosed.

Somehow both of these observations had something in common, the color. I proceeded to experiment and have arrived at the following conclusions, after several hundred experiments had taken place.

I have bought books on Astronomy and also books on Flying Saucers. I know that this object was not astronomical in any way nor was it a Flying Saucer.

This object was a cleverly design missle camouflaged to appear as a Meteor or as a Flying Saucer.

However, this missle failed to operate as planned that is how I was able to see the complete details of the color and also the design, which I furnished to the government. I also know why this design was used and also why the colors were arranged as they were. My experiments proved this.

Thru my experiments I have been able to determine the following:

1. Where they get the tremendous speed from.

2. The wobbling effect they have on occasion.

3. Appearing to oscillate about their vertical axis.

4. Why they make no noise, condensation, or exhaust.

5. Whoshing and wheezing, humming noise on occasions.

6. Different colors they have.

7. Pulsating light.-Luminous appearance.

8. Different forms and shape.

These objects are constantly being sent over both the North and South Americas by Russia. Anyone seeing these objects are instantly responsive as to a flying saucer. Subjected to ridicule if this be mentioned to any one, and/or reported to the authorities.



Russia is well aware of this fact and has capitalized upon this fact. They have in this way been able to penetrate our Radar System undetected.

To conclude?

The present situation can be blamed upon the various governmental agencies who in the past have scoffed at and ridiculed people who have reported these sightings.

Now we are about to pay with 60,000,000 American lives or more. "Some price".

Our one hope is that Russia and China will go to war against one another. This then will give us time to created an effective and efficient Radar system that cannot be penetrated.

Dear Mr. Stewart:

The object you saw was a bright meteor, sometimes called a "fireball" or a "bolide". Almost all very bright meteors are small bodies moving in orbits rather like the orbits of asteroids, and probably are fragments of asteroids. The direction of motion of your meteor is consistent with that sort of orbit. A good many bright meteors strike the earth each day, but most go unnoticed. We have received another report of the same meteor from Wilmington, Delaware.

I am sending your observation to the Moonwatch Division of the Smithsonian Astrophysical Observatory here in Cambridge, which has a continuing program for analysis of visual observations of bright meteors. Since it is very rarely possible for the professional astronomer to observe these meteors, most of what is known about them depends on this sort of lucky chance.

| Mr. Wood | Telephonically contacted Bureau at 12:50 a.m. 5/16/69 |
| SA Stephen F. McInerney | Special Investigative Division |

Mr. Wood telephonically contacted the Bureau at 12:50 a.m. 5/16/69 and spoke with SA Stephen F. McInerney, Special Investigative Division.

Wood stated he is a former CIA Agent and wanted to report to the Director that recently he has been seeing flying objects. He requested that the Director call him on 5/16/69 concerning this matter. He was advised that Mr. Hoover would be unavailable.

From Wood's tone of voice it appeared he was intoxicated. He advised that he was recently discharged as a patient from the psycho ward of a Veteran's hospital.



Information in Bureau indices (66-3182-8679) indicates individual possibly identical with captioned subject called Bureau 5/1/69, at which time he rambled about numerous subjects and his speech indicated he had been drinking. At that time no record identifiable with Wood was located in Bureau files.

ACTION: For information. A check is being made with CIA to determine if they have a former agent identical with Wood.*

Dear Sirs;

There currently are rumors over the grapevine and in print that suggest men with oriental features wearing dark clothes go around terrorizing people who have had close-up views of UFO's. It is also rumored these creatures have impersonated armed forces officers and FBI investigators. They are supposed to ride around in black or dark automobiles that either have old licence tags or none at all. Several are reported to have attempted to run down witnesses of UFO sightings, made disturbing almost macabre phone calls, silenced several investigators who were supposed to have learned some dark secret about extraterrestrial craft or mission plans and opened mail, tapped telephones and even taken pictures of several homes where UFO witnesses lived.

Can you give me any information on such rumors? Or can you refer me to a source whose facilities can answer my questions?

this information will help settle some disturbing questions the readers of my articles. Personally I am not sure at all whether I can fully accept these rumours as facts. I need more information.

Any information you supply can ease the worries of people who feel that the objects unknown they see in the sky may portend the visit of a mysterious visitor.

RE: J. A. HENNESSEY

CONFIDENTIAL
Flying Saucers

By letter dated January 20, 1965, J. A. Hennessey of 10, Manson Place, South Kensington, London, S.E. 7, wrote to the FBI asking whether it is the usual procedure for FBI Agents to investigate reports of unidentified flying objects which have been seen on the ground. Mr. Hennessey's letterhead indicated that he was a "UFO Research Investigator" and "Member National Investigations Committee on Aerial Phenomena." By letter dated January 26, 1965, Mr. Hennessey was informed that such matters did not come within our investigative jurisdiction. (62-8894-442)

On November 26, 1966, Mr. Hennessey again wrote the FBI stating that the response to his earlier letter had been destroyed in a recent fire in his home and asking whether FBI policy concerning investigation of UFO's remained unchanged. His letter was written on a new letterhead containing the same address and the same reference to membership in the "National Investigations Committee on Aerial Phenomena" and adding "Associate Member of the American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics." He was informed by letter of November 30, 1966, that our policy remained unchanged, and he was furnished a copy of our prior communication.

Dear Sirs,

Our club is very interested in the study of Unidentified Flying Objects. We were studying a magazine called UFO'S A Pictorial and on one of the page there was a picture of a supposedly man from outer space who was being held by two men. Above the picture it stated the the two men were FBI agents who had captured this man and were walking down an American street. It had also stated that the picture had first been published in an XXXXXXXX German newspaper. There was no other additional information. We would appreciate it if you would send us a letter telling us whet -ther this is true or untrue. Could you please send us the information.

We have three members in our club they are Steve Smith,13,GaryH Hargreaves,12,and Paul Brassington,13.

Dear Sirs:

In approximately seven months or January, 1972, certain copies of top-secret documents shall be sent to the New York Times as well as two other newspapers. These documents are related to and will be an ostentation of the involvement of the pentagon in the controversial "Unidentified Flying Objects" or "Flying Saucer" subject. It will show that not only the U.S. Air Force was involved in UFO research but the other military branches as well.

Analysis and the actual conclusions of the classic UFO cases shall be revealed. This shall be accomplished by zeroxed documents and photographs that General Wolfe had reviewed when he was head of the Army's UFO support program in the Pentagon during the Eisenhower years.

Sorry, but it is concluded here that this is the best course to take because we feel that the secret UFO investigations are parallel in nature to the Times-Pentagon Vietnam controversy. If we are wrong in taking this action, time will tell

On September 17, 1963, Mr. John S. Castles, an FBI agent of the Newport News, Va. contingent, visited me at my place of employment (Ft. Eustis, Va.) to interview me as to my interest in the subject of unidentified flying objects (UFO's). I understand that Mr. Castles prepared a formal report of that interview.

Since President Nixon recently has expressed his intention to assure that the privacy and civil liberties of individual citizens receive the protection they deserve under our form of government, it is in the spirit of that assurance that I respectfully request that you send me a copy of Mr. Castles' report along with a copy of all other documents in your files pertaining to my activities in the UFO-research field.

lerk (SPC)

At 12:07 a.m., 8/22/74, Security Patrol Clerk (SPC) Charles F. Halty, Intelligence Division received a call via Command Center telephone from a Major Horn, NMCC (National Military Command Center). Major Horn asked for any information the FBI might have concerning a report that an unidentified object which fell from the sky at Milwaukee, Wisconsin, had been recovered by local police and turned over to the Milwaukee Office of the FBI.

No information available at Intelligence Division.
Night Duty Supervisor Harry E. Morris, Jr., called SPC Robert

had been recovered by Milwaukee police at about 5:55 p.m.,
8/21/74, but that it was still in possession of police. He
said a Captain Wills of the Milwaukee Police Department had
called the Milwaukee FBI Office to report the recovery. Very
little was known about the object which was described as about
13 x 8 x 5 inches, metallic in substance and color, jagged on
one side and had an "internal heat source." Police notified
military locally.

Above information was relayed to Major Horn with suggestion he might like to contact Captain Wills, Milwaukee Police Department.

There are a number of universities and professional scientific organizations such as the American Association for the Advancement of Science, which have considered UFO phenomena during periodic meetings and seminars. In addition, a list of private organizations interested in aerial phenomena may be found in Gale's Encyclopedia of Associations (Edition 8, Vol I, pp. 432-3). Such timely review of the situation by private groups insures that sound evidence will not be overlooked by the scientific community.

# UFO FACT SHEET

On December 17, 1969 the Secretary of the Air Force announced the termination of Project Blue Book, the Air Force program for the investigation of UFOs.

The decision to discontinue UFO investigations was based on an evaluation of a report prepared by the University of Colorado entitled, "Scientific Study of Unidentified Flying Objects;" a review of the University of Colorado's report by the National Academy of Sciences; past UFO studies; and Air Force experience investigating UFO reports during the past two decades.

As a result of these investigations and studies, and experience gained from investigating UFO reports since 1948, the conclusions of Project Blue Book are: (1) no UFO reported, investigated, and evaluated by the Air Force has ever given any indication of threat to our national security; (2) there has been no evidence submitted to or discovered by the Air Force that sightings categorized as "unidentified" represent technological developments 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.

With the termination of Project Blue Book, the Air Force regulation establishing and controlling the program for investigating and analyzing UFOs was rescinded. All documentation regarding the former Blue Book investigation has been permanently transferred to the Modern Military Branch, National Archives and Records Service, 8th and Pennsylvania Avenue, Washington, D.C. 20408, and is available for public review and analysis.

Attached for your information is the Project Blue Book sighting summary for the period 1947-1969. Also included is a listing of UFO-related materials currently available.

Since the termination of Project Blue Book, no evidence has been presented to indicate that further investigation of UFOs by the Air Force is warranted. In view of the considerable Air Force commitment of resources in the past, and the extreme pressure on Air Force funds at this time, there is no likelihood of renewed Air Force involvement in this area.

Stanley Schneider of the Office of Science and Technology, White House, telephonically contacted me today to inquire as to the Bureau's procedure for handling information received from the public or otherwise, relating to sightings of UFOs. He 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 information concerning this subject. He stated that the U.S. Air Force had closed their investigation of these matters several years ago and currently does nothing but refer such information to appropriate local authorities.

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 information relating to a UFO sighting and, in the absence of some investigative jurisdiction based upon the information furnished, that information would be referred to the Department of the Air Force without any action being taken by the Bureau.

He thanked me for the information and stated that if any further contact was necessary he would call back.

ACTION: None. For information.
