- •,,. r AFSCA CONVENTION MESSAGE SPECIAL 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 electr_onic-technician whose remarkable story =e prip.i>,;;u 1n issues #18, 19, 20, 21, "'~.., co"', c,.nd 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 fo 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. 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 FLYING SAUCERS ISSUE NQ. 24 Official Journal of the JULY 1 Amalgamated Flying Saucer Clubs of America, Inc. International Headquarters: 2004 N. Hoover St., Los Angeles,, Calif. 90027, U.S.A . GABRIEL GREEN, Editor HELEN GREEN, Asst. Ed. Dedicated to The Physical, Spiritual, and Economic Emancipation of Man A Non-profit Organization humanity. Make no mistake. Your government is not in the White House or the Congress. IT IS IN THE PENTA GON, AND IN THE HEADQUARTERS OF THE VAST " DEFENSE"-ORIENTED INDUSTRIES. It is THEY, not the President or the Congressmen, who run the United States. The facade government is merely to allay undue alarm or suspicion of the people. Examine another aspect of the Asian war, the ECONOMIC side. Do you recall that, in the stock reports just recently, the Dow-Jones average dropped sharply BECAUSE OF A RUMOR THAT NORTH VIETNAM HAD MADE A PEACE BID? Does the staggering implication of this news evade you? Stock prices suffering a heavy loss because of a rumor that peace might come to pass ! This thought is most distressing. Your economy relies so heavily upon war and destruction, that if it were to stop, THE UNITED STATES ECONOMY WOULD SUFFER A MASSIVE DEPRESSION! Your money system would collapse like a house of cards. Millions would be unemployed, sick, hungry and homeless, Tremendous indust-rial complexes would close their doors. The utterly appalling fact is this: WAR IS PROFITABLE. Highly so! Every major conflict has been accompanied by a strong peak in your monetary prosperity. Peace has usually been economically painful! After World War 1, the nation coasted for a while upon the fat put on during the boom of the war years. In 1929, the bottom fell out. After the Korean War, in the 1950's came another recession. What comes after Vietnam? No one knows, and no one wants to find out. The war in Vietnam is bringing an unheard of degree of affluence in the United States. Why kill a good thing by ending the war? The philosopy, in essence, is this: It is economically expedient to send military forces to Vietnam and elsewhere in Asia in order to wage war, because in doing so, the United States I economy is bolstered and maintained at a high level of prosperity; human life is secondary to the preservation of economic well-being! It is thus evident that, unless a drastic change is made in the structure of yo~r economy, war will never end because the Military-Industrial complex WON'T LET IT! Many of you fear Communism. Where did that fear come from, I ask you? From within yourself? NO! It was brainwashed into you by the Military Industrial complex. Who controls all your news media? The government and the advertisers. Who, then, is in a position to dictate what shall be printed? INTERNATIONAL 196 6 FLYING SAUCERS INTERNATIONAL (6 issues-$3. 00.

SPACE
THE COCKEYED BALLAD
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 1s 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 U·pstairs.
Why we can 1t 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 Is.
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 dis cover Martians do exist!
They I 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 .

SPACE-TALK
The powers that be will tell us we 're alone.
They'll tell us that in space we are unique;
On this little desert island we call Earth
The hwnan race is just a kind of freak.
When we send our envoys into space
The re '11 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?

NEW SAUCER PHOTOS: These remarkable photos of Flying Saucers were taken by Dr. Daniel W. Fry,
President of Understanding, Inc., of P. 0. Box 76, Merlin, Oregon 97532. Your editor enlarged them
from the original 16mm color movie film. Spots on the photos are due to the extreme enlargement of
scratches and dust spots on the film.
Of special interest is the fact that the same type of craft was
photographed near Merlin, Oregon in a wooded section, and again near Joshua Tree, Calif. on the desert.

They'u back. The latest was sighted a few
, nights ago by residents and· pilots In the north•
ern tier of states and Canada.- They described
t
it ·as an orange fireball. ·The Air Force~at tirst
called it an un!dentilied flying object, but now
thinks it was a meteor. f!9me oth·er people
called It a flying saucer.
•
Several people say they saw the fireball land
Thursday night. An ll•year•o!d boy in Lorain,
Ohio, says he watched It drop Into the woods
near his home. A woman in Elyria, Ohio, 10
mifes away, claims she saw it plunge into a
.vacant lot across the st!reet from her home.
Others say they saw it streak into Lake Michi

Vlaiton From Outer Space
Nobody knows wfiat the objects are or where
• they come from, but th"ere is no lack of theories
-or of controversy. The Alllalgamated Flying
Saucer Clubs of America, Inc., is sure the
"saucers" come from outer space. How do
they know? The' "space people" . have told
them.
. Not only that, says Gabriel Green, who
heads the Calitornia group, 11space people give
contaclees information about life on other
Planets and solutions to insurmountable prob
lems on our planet." One si.iggestion allegedly
made to Mr. Green in 1960 by a visit from Al
, pha Centauri, -.a, nearby star: Run for Presi
d~nt as a write-in candidate. (He campaigned
briefly, then decided not to run.)
'
The National Investigations Committee on
\ Aerial Phenomena /(NICAP) I a private re
search organization in 'Y{ashington, doesn't
hold with that theory. "We reject reports ol
noble beings landing on earth to solve all our
prol;>lems,

says a spokesman. • So men from
:Ma.rs are a lot of bunk? Nat neceSsarily, says
the committee. It .believes If congressional in•
vestigation w~uld prove that UFOs "are real
physical objects ... under the control of livlng
beings." As an afterthought, the 'spokesman
says :- ..There are a tremendous iiumber of ego
.mani_acs who have been able to appoint ·them•
selves experts in this field because it's so con
tused."
'
One rna.n who's not confused at all is Charles
.A. ManeY, professor emeritus -0f physics and
mathematics at Defi8.ncE, College in Ohio. Says
The spokesman quickly adds : " We have nei
ther received nor discovered any evidence that
proves the existence of tntraspace mobility or
extraterrestrial life and we continue to extend
e.n open invitation to anyone who feels he pos
sesses any evidence of such vehicles operating
in our atmosphere." And he states: "No UFO
report evaluated by the Air Force has ever
given arty indication of a threat to our national
security."

I. M. Levitt, director ot Fels Planetarium at the
Franklin Insttiute in Philadelphia. He adds :
" The Air Force is trying to ~plaln something
that isn't susceptible to explarlation."
l;tobert Risser, director of the Oklaboma Sci
ence and Art Foundation planetarium at Okla
homa City, believes "the Air Force must have
had it~ star-finder upside down during Aug
ust," when .several reports pf flying saucers
were ascribed by the Aji-r .,ForCe to sightings of
stars. "The constellations of Taurus and Orion
weren't visible at the time the Air Force said
the sightlng{J were made. I think they made an
error.''
•The whole problem, says J. Allen HYJltek,
chairman of the department of astronomy at
Northwestern University and a consultant to
the Air Force, is that the matter should be
studied more thoroughly.
'
"Pressures· to conformity in acadeintc cir
cles and fear ot ridicule have slowed the
study," according to Robert Hali, a sociology
professor at the University of Illinois in Chi·
Ce.go.
"The 'IJ)Ossibility of life on Mars ts an un
popular thing to consider these days," says
Frank B. Salisbury, a professor ol plant p'by.
siology at Colorado State University. _At the
risk ol being unpopular, Mr. Salisbury told \he
fifth annual Space Conference this year that
''there qiay be some natural explanation of
~e \hings, but a tentative possib!!lty to ,be
considered is that UFOs are spaceships from
~l:ars."
.
Fueling tpe flying-saur,er . contN?versy .has
been the large number of reports from what
many peoj)le consider reliable witnesses- pilots
with technical backgrounds. Since 1947, more
than 100 private, mllitary and commercial pilots
have reported spotting strange objecte in the
Sky, accordfrig to one study.
Pinning down such repqrts is difficult, .how
ever. "Some of the boys did re~r_t things they
couldn!t identify a few years ago," •says I a
spokesman for American Airlines. ' " But our
pilots haven't made a report for years."
Nevertheless, "we havq on file a great num
ber of reports from pilots who don't Want their
names used but still want to tell somebody
what they've seen, claims J. B. Harte.rut, Jr.,
president of the Aircraft Owners and Pilots As

the professor: "These fbjects are unguestion- r""'----.~-■

ing on the fact that the objects often interfere
with local electrical circuits, indicat~ to him
they have "a mea~s of propulsion associated
with magnetic fields.''
"There's Nothing To U"
Such notions are scoffed at by astronomers,

"All this is imagination outside the

UFOs all have simple explanations in terms
of well-known natural phenomena. Tfiere's not
one cause, but hundreds. Some are quite spec
tacular, such as reflections from ice crystals or
bright stars, searchlights on clouds -0r high
flying spider webs. But to spme people the exls•
tence of flying saucers is 'e. matter of relfgioUS
fanaticism," he says.
But Mr. Menzel reads inore into the Air
Force data than does the Air Force !tsell. Of
the 9,786 UFO reports m·a.l!e to the Air Force
since 1947, 673 remain cld'sified as •"unidenti

gory as containing sightings, whose pertinent
data can't be correlated with any known object
or phenomena.

LOS ANGELF;S, Calif.
The "urgent problem"
of
improving
communications
with the thousands of visitors
from outer space who sup
posedly are circling the earth
was afforded solemn delib
eration here this weekend at
a special convention of fly
ing saucer buffs.
Among the nearly 300 dele
gates was a self-professed
"interplanetary tr ave I er "
'lamed Standing Horse, an
Englishwoman who regularly
issues mimeographed reports
on her conversations w i th
space travelers, a man who
offered to book "gro up
sightings" of flying saucers
and a presidential candidate
campaigning on the flying
saucer ticket.
THE SPACE buffs, who
assembled in a cavernous es
.,.Jablishment called the Blar
ney Castle, weren't much im
pressed with Thursday's So
viet 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 be
ginning of some "ominous
changes" for the earth's pop
ulation. But the convention
c h a i r m a n, Dr.
F r a n k
Stranges, said the "interplan
etary visitors" would turn
out to be "angelic creatures
whose mission is to h e 1 p
mankind."
The delegates were gen
erally well groomed, articu
late men and women w h o
could have blended into any
PT A meeting. Many were
heads of organizations whose
members spotted and photo
graphed "unidentified flying
objects" and claimed to main
tain telepathic communica
tion with space travelers.
NEARLY ALL agreed tl)at
What they called the "flying
saucer movement" was un

and hundreds of books were

man who served as president
of the Amalgamated Flying

"They accept spacecraft as a
fact of life. Their interest is
in contacting spacemen di
rectly or through telepathy."
Green, who regularly runs
for president as a "space age
candidate," says he cannot
practice telepathy but insists
he has met spacemen on at
least six occasions. The last
of his visitors, he said, was
four feet tall and came from
the Alpha Centauri s o 1 a r
system.
A muscular, even-featured
young man named Wesley
Bateman said he -never had
met spacemen but that he
was in "constant communica•
tion with them through tele

Furthermore, he saJd, the Martians ~~~~"foe:;~ 3i~ ~f~•ssa~:~ from their own follies - just as the Savior was. Green can speak with some au thority on these matters because, he says, he met and ta1xed with a Martian once. Also a four-root man from the Alpha Centauri star system. Also some Other unearthly visitors. •• SOMETIMES, HE said, he met these ·nytng saucer crewmen by telepathic; appaintments. T h e s e were arranged through associates of his with tele- pathic t.a.1ents. 11And once in a while.''~ said, "they would just call on the " Green, who lives in Angeles, ls the head saucerer - the president - of the AmaJgamated FI yi n g Saucer Clubs of America. Not b e l n g 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 ot sightings and landings, I understand, will 1ncrease. They are not going to go away, as some members ot our government would like." WHY DO THEY keep buzzing down here and scaring people! "What with nu cl ea r proliferation growing, it seems rather obvious that unless we start resolving the present p r o b 1 e .m s facing mankind, we will destroy oui-selves and perhaps some of the universe along with us," Green ex• plained. ''This is one ot the primary reasons why the extra•terrestrlals started mak· lng visitations in 1947, shortly after we developed this abUity - to .watch over us aild if possible to impart their ad• vanced scien ti tic, technologiCal and aoclological knowledge to help us re• solve these problems before we destroy ourselves." Green s a I d he is trying to do his humble best to help them spread that message. ''The solutions they have given," he said, "deal pri marily with resolving the mbtives tor wars, expansionism and poverty. They hope to eliminate the have-not nations . .. through superior financing. They have an advanced eco- nomlc system they call Universal :Economics. The economics part ot it is what I personally am trying to trans• mil" HE SA I D RUEFULLY, however, that the saucer clubs themselves a.re in an economic pinch that has prevented needed research. Green said he runs the saucer clubs out of his own home, at 2004 Nortl}. Hoover in Los Angeles, "to cut down on the overhead.'' He said there are clubs in 50 m a j or U.S. cities and abroad, with a total of a b o u t 3,500 members. Houston has no club, he said, but he does have some interested Hous tonians on his mailing list "We are a contact.oriented research group," he said, "meaning that many ot our members have made actual \ From B. C., th• Pod, May 9, 1966 physical contact with crews ot these craft" Green said he has sighted 85 to 100 spacecraft around Los Angeles over the yea.rs and has met "half a dozen or so members ot the crews." Bur GREEN BELl'ITLED his own experiences. "They're so 1nslgniflcant it's hardly worth talking about them," he said. "Some or our members have actually been taken for rides in spacecraft "I certainly wouldn't tum 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 ca s u a 11 y dres.sed, Green said, and wore a short• sleeve, ~ h I m m e r y, metallic.looking shirt which he ~i.d would stop bullets. All in all, a handsome chap, Green said. "I f el t his halr and It was quit.e coarse and worn in a V•shape down to- ward the c en t er ot the forehead," Green said. "But I rather doubt all Martians wear t h e i r hair alike, any more than we do. "HE SAID THE MARTIAN canals were really canals for distributing the short water supply from their polar region s, and that the two Martian moons are really artificial satellites just like the Russian astronomers have supposed." Green said he had inet the Alpha Centauri man several times - once in the Green home. "He was dressed ordinarily and was about four feet tall, although this was unusuaJ. Most of the reports or them are that they are normal height or larger," Green said. "Th ere was that space ship that landed near Albuquerque, for Instance, with a crew of four men and five worn• en. They were very beautiful, very well proportioned. Seven to nine feet tall.'' Green said he had met other inter. stellar travelers but would "rather not go into the whole list.'' Where did they park their space ships while they were visiting him? "OH, SOMETIMF.S t h e y 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 th es e, they can accom• plish such m i r a c I es as walking on water and ascending into the heavens.'' Green said he is 41 and was a photographer with the Los Angeles Board of Education until he resigned In 1959 to try to help the spacemen save civilization. Green said naturally he asked to Sauce:r Sig~ting ReEp°~~rAN GABRIEL GRt:EN Head Saucerer MAR CIi 30 . 1966 Five sightings were re ported on Monday of unldentf. tied flying ob}ecls, obs,erved in the slcy in the northwest Detroit area.

"Oh, I wouldn't believe just anyone who walked up to me and said he was from Mars," Green replied. Eddie Crunk, 17, 19749 Greenview and his companion, Robert SL,allneo, 15, 19743 Greenview, observedanobject over Crunk's home at about 8:20 p.m. CrWlk said that t~e u'F9 came from the wtts't, "But if you gel a call from the White House and were told President Eisen• bower would meet you at a certain time on the corner of Hollywood and Vine, and you went there, and a man there who looked like the President called you by name, wouldn't you be· lieve he was Eisenhower?" Green said he once asked a space.ling to pro\·e himself by disappearing, "BUT HE REFU .J<~D and told me to walk away," Green said. "He was on a balcony five floors high, and I walked down a hallway for three or four sec• ond and turned and looked back and he was gone. There was no logical place for him to go from that balcony. Green believes the spacemen are Un• doubtedly friendly, just as they profess to be, or otherwise they could have destroyed the earth long ago. "They say they want nothing from us but our friendship," he said. "They would never destroy us. This would be a violation of their code of life. They revere all living things." Apparently they do have lapses, though. "There was one decision that if any nation on earth fires a nuclear war. head, it will fall back on the people who fired it," Green said. "I don't know what their latest decision has been.'' BE 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 fl ying saucers being sighted. One or his favorites is the Venusian scout ship. That's the one about 50 feet in diameter with the three protruding semi.spheres on the bottom and the portholes around the cabin.

problem of the U. . 0. or 4.?lying Saucers 11
and not :1 ing is being done about it , as it
should be.
The Air Force has maintained that t he
sighti~gs have been gas ,light ,weather,etc.
but by talki ng to some of the people that
have seen U.F.O . 1 s I'm wonderinp, if the
ir Force isn ' t l ying .
I'm not the only one wondering this ,
for the people that I have talked to sa,
that after the Michigan sig~tings an° the
others they would not report it to the Air
Force if they did see a U.F. O..
eports say that even F .B.I.
gents have
seen U. F . O. 1a and this has been denied by
the Air Force .
The report recently about the p mlice
officer in Ohio or Penn. having serious
family £rouble as well as being ridiculed
by people b e caus
of his sighting,along with
a fellow police officer , of a U.F . o ..

Forces - Focus on UFO", which was published in the Thi s World
suppl ement of t he San Francisco Exami ner & Chronicl~unday,
October 16, 1966.
This articl e deal s 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 t hat ConGress l ook
into UFOs; al so it announces that the Air Force, w11ich is
charged with investigating UFOs, has commissio~~ ;e Univer

The articl e also points out that since f ast summer
pressure has been mounting for the establishment of an inde
pendent, civilian controlled investigative agency to l ook i nto
the UFO problem.

Al so, for the Bureau ' s information, there was re-
\J
cently 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 editi on and is availabl e in paperback, published
by Blntam Books, and i t i s probably a contributing factor to
the current controversy~

In t his book author Edwards points out that flying
saucers were observed i n the spring of 1946, in Scandinavia

~!\,.~.~• SF 62-2927 DET:lms 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 mul tipl e wit nesses . It is author Edwards ' contention that UFOs are space vehicl es sent to observe activities on earth and the Air Force, which is charged with the responsibility of investigating UFOs, has deliberatel y withhel d information and given misleadi ng expl anati ons because it f ears a mass panic by the public if the publ ic were tol d the truth. The book describes UFOs as pol ished metal objects, radiating heat and light (sufficient to have burned witnesses who were too near), and emitting some force fiel d that inter feres wi th electromagnetic instruments and power sources . Colors range from brilliant white to dull reds and bril liant orange. Some objects have carried blinking lights . There are three basic shapes : 1) zeppel in- shaped ships up to 300 feet long; 2) disk- shaped objects ranging from a few feet in dia meter to 100 feet , with many reported at about 30 feet diameter; and 3) egg- shaped objects, whi ch according to the author are the ones most recentl y 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 l ight from the underside, which in some cases has left the groupd beneath them scorched. Many of the persons named in the book who have re ported them are reliable individuals, including law enforce ment officers, mil itary personnel on official duty, military pilots, commercial airline pilots, civilian defense officials, etc. A number of photographs of the objects have been repro duced in the book, some reportedly taken by repubable persons . Many reported sightings are from atomic and missile research areas . Wreckage of crashed saucers has been reportedl y re covered on at least three occasions, in one case described as a magnesium alloy, in another as pure magnesium, and in a t hird 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. - 2
• SF 62-2927 DET-:lms A few witnesses have reported seeing crewmen who ha~d l anded from the objects, who are described a s three and a half to four feet tall, weari ng what appear to be space suits and helmets. Author Edwards concludes t his book with a prediction t hat in the near future UFOs will make an "overt l anding " or deliberate conta ct with earth. A copy of this letter is being directed to Denver, i n view of the contract awarded to Dr. EDWARD u. CONOON. The above is being called to the Bureau ' s attention in view of the press report of mounting pressure for a civilian controlled i nvestigative agency to handl e UFO matters . - 3

Bc1t in r ecent vears and particularly since·last 'sum mer, the pressure had been mounting for e it h er a full scale Congressional investi gation or for the establish ment of an independent ci vilian-controlled investigato ry agency. It had been a big year for Unidentified Flying Objects. The sightings had c om e in bun Che S, the bulk of them , last spring and' summer . And 1 the reports had come from all over. "Like Neon Lamps" Among the most intriguing items in thi~ year's crop: I) At Milan, l\Iichiaan 15 mi I es south or Ann°Arbor, bluish - yellow bars of light we r e spotted, looking '·like neon lamps dangling in the sky." o In East Delhi, Mich., a 15-year-old boy called in to r e p o r t seeing lights in the sky alternately standing still and m o vi n g, sometimes flashing on and off. ~ In Altadena an d San Marino, Calif., police switch boards logged dozens of calls after a pair of red lights in the sky were reported by residents. • o In Toledo, Ohio, officials at the local airport received seven calls from persons who said they saw a glowing ob ject that was red, green and white. • In snburban . Detroit, . a man saw a noiseless, wing less, cigar-shaped flying ob ject. o In Br y an, Texas, resi ' d en ts said they heard a star-like object purr. o Over Valdese, N.C., a "glowing blue thing" explod , ed, then lit up the town like a ' _giant flashbulb. Sometimes the a 11 e g e d , sightings spilled over into 1 the bizarre. A space ship full : of little men allegedly landed in a farm yard near Hopkins yilJe, Kentucky. The l it t 1 e , men glowed, and they were • described as "three feet taJl, , with eyes like saucers and 1 hands like claws." A grain buyer in Nebraska said he was invited into a , space ship where he chatted , with four men and two wom en. They spoke only broken · English-but fluent High ' German which, as -it hap pened, was the grain buyer's native tongue. SihJrY Cigar Nor did America have any corner on the UFO market. In Northern Ireland, Tom H u t c h i n s o n saw a saucer drop into a peat bog near his home in 1\loneymore. It was eggshaped, th;:ee feet in di ,I DR. CONDON Saucer-watcher ameter, 18 inches high. It be gan to spin and Hutchinson • grabbed it. He was carrying it to the po1i c e, who de scribed him as ''level-headed and God-fearing," when the thing twisted out of his hands and got away. And in Warminster, Eng land, a city council worker said he saw a silvery cigar shape drifting over the vil lage downs. After a time, be said, it see m e d to stretch. Then it s e e m e d to divide amidships with a flash of or ange light, a 1t h o ugh there was no noise. Flaming· Object Not all the sightings could be easily written off as the phantasmagoria of kooks, cranks aud d:rnnks. And, un less one subscribed to a theo ry of mass hallucination, it was difficult to explain away simultaneous sightings co n fi.nned by many rational wit nesses - such as the flaming obj e ct that was seen last April by thousands of E ast Coast residents from Wash i n g t o n to Boston and even tempor~rily disrupted a ball g am e between the Chicago White Sox and the Wash ington Sen at ors in Wash ington, D. C.

Every r.eport of a "flyina saucer " had ostensibly been b ch e ck e d out by the Air Force's special squad known as ''Project Blue Book," al though the staff was woefully small. Of the 10,147 sightings s 1 n c e 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, b a 11 o o n s, astronomical causes, missiles, swamp gas, meteo r s, fireworks and, in some cases, to hallucinations ru1d psychological reasons. Ball Ligbining? Philip Klass, avionics edi tor of Aviation Week & Space Technolo g y magazine, recently proposed soine other exp I an at ions. Klass, an electronics engineer, said a form of "ball lightning," gen erated by high tension power lines, could explain the phe nomena. Many of the sightings, said -mass, occw·red along or very near high-tension lines where luminous balls of ionized air could be g e n e r a t e d under certain conditions. obJects reported, investigat ed and evaluated by the Air · Force haYe ever given any in dication of a threat to our national security." o "There has been no ev- Tclence submitted to or discov ered by the Air Force that sightings represent t e c h n o •1ogical developments or prin ciple s beyond the range of present day scientific knowl edge." c "There has been no evi dence th2t sightings catego rized as unidentified are ex traterrestrial vehicles." Major D on al d Keyhoe, however, w as unconvinced. Major Key h oe, USMC (re tired), director of the Nation al Investigations Committee on A er i a I Phenomena (NI• CAP ), a private space watch ing organization, accused the Air F o·r c e of conducting a long-term whitewash on the UFO question. It wa_s Keyhoe's theory that the Air Force was with holding information for fea~ of c a u s in g public panic. UFOs, insisted the Major, who had never seen one. were of exb-aterrestrial origin an.: the Air Force feared that the public could not accept this knowledge. "They won't give Michigan's Gerald Ford, the· Hou se Republican leader, who suggcs:ed it would be " a very wholesome thin g" for Congress to look into uniden tified flying objects. Such an investigation. Ford suggest ed. would make the Ameri can 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 in yestigating reports of glow ing, f l y i n g. zooming, wink ing, awe s ome, blinking, streaking, hoveling things, the Air Force last week de cided to bail itself out of all responsibility for future con clusions concerning UFOs. The Air Force announced that it had commissioned the University of c o 1 0 r a d O to conduct an "in-depth" study of flying saucers for the next 18 m O n th s. The director of the study (expected to cost $300,000) would be Dr. Ed ward U. Condon, former di rector of the National Bureau of St an d a r d s, and now a physics professor at Colora do. . To satisfy the skeptics, and rnsm·e the study's objectivi ty' C o 1 o r a d o would select several other universities to ~ake ~art. in the independent m~est~gation, with about 100 scientists participating. And in c.a s e that wasn't enough, the National Acade my of Sciences also agreed to appoint a panel to review the Colorado report.

PEYERL INFORMATION CONCERNING A review of the Miami indices revealed information reflecting subject appeared at the Miami Office on July 24 , 1959, and \d.unteered 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 1tBre . 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.

PEYERL, _ 1430 Sautbwest 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 r esponsibility 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 ab~e aircraft was designed and engineered by (First Name Unknown) KUEHR, a German engineer whose present whereabouts is unknown him . He assumed KUEHR was taken into custody by Allied Fores upon the termination of hostilities . PEYERL stated KUEHR unsuccessfully attempted to avoid the German draft, but was apprehended by the Gestapo
• • 'l , . RE:· PAUL L. PEYERL INFORMATION CONCERNING in Vienna, Austria , sometime during late 1943 or early 1944. PEYERL also assumed the secretsi:ertaining to this aircraft were captured by Allied Forces. He said this type of aircraft was responsible for the downing of a t 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 sai d he copied t his 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. 2

The Editors.
Mr. Adamski launched the !GAP -
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 pre
sent 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 Pow
er 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 every
one, 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 acc
epted, but which is not yet officially accepted or rec
ognized in broader circles:
1. People from other worlds In our system are visit
Ing our planet.
2. People from other worlds are in contact with cer
tain political and scientific circles In East and West.
3. People from all walks of Ille, official and unoffi
cial, all over the world, have been contacted by
people from other worlds; such contacts have been
kept secret so fa r.
4. The philosophy brought to the world by Mr. Geo
rge Adamski is considere.d and aid helping to un
cover 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 laun
ched 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-sec
tarian 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.

ED ITO RIAL ...
" 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-opinion
ated, self-appointed judge, in words of ignorance,
mated with bigotry and begotten of an inflated ego
tism, we see a smal l section of that vociferous but
often influenti al Press opinion which always swallows
before it chews.
The occasion was the much-publicised, much-criti
cised audience of Queen Juliana of the Netherlands
accorded to one George Adamski of California,
U.S.A., at II a.m. on May 18th 1959, at Soestdijk
Palace, near Utrecht, Holland.
Th e vociferous Press opinion in this instance was
of the Catholic People's Party newspaper, " Die
Volkskrant" .
We could imagine the same self-elevated journa
list writing: " We are not opposed to a court jester
in the private apartments at the Vatican, provid
ed - -", on another May day, of another 11 a.m. au
dience, 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. Lacki ng
the meat of the occasion on which to feast their
readers they gave them the bones and the offal , and
in the process they soi led 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
Ad amski's meetings with the famous received th e
ful l blast of publicity, whilst others, conducted in a
secret undercurrent of diplomacy peopled with silent
couriers and intercontinental briefings, are still, very
much, " classified " .
Ad amski was NEVER afraid of the scoffers and the
critics, still less of the faceless spokesmen in autho
rity. With energy which had to be seen to be be
lieved, with courage of conviction based in sure
knowledge of his own experiences, and with fortitude
distilled from the sweet and the sour of his support
ers 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 cont
emporaries, making a fortune from the credu lous.
This is shown by the fact that his books became
world best-sel lers 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?"
No. Instead he pushed and shoved his way into t he,
many times, inhospitable climate of " expert" analysis
and clini cal dissection, saying: " Here is my evid
ence, 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? H is 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 WI TH GEORG E ADAMS KI, the Brothers cont
inue 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 conti nued interest in our we l
fare.
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-fi lm
shots of objects in the sky. With this new evidence
we shall show, too, how Adamski 's successors are
STILL pushing the experts, STI LL offering for exam
inati on photographic proof of " inexplicable phenom
ena" in the skies above us.
Th ere are always those who are ready to jeer and
deride. This is a peculiar facet of the human psycho
logy 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
stil l bei ng p1ovided of our extraterrestrial visitors '
presence on and above our planet. That this evid
ence remains a puzzle, - or gives the impression, at
least, of remaini ng a puzzle -
to competent " ex
perts", 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,

of UFO CONTACT.114 ufo contact ufo contact 139 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. An open Letter SOESTDIJK PALACE, SOESTD IJK, HOLLAND. JUN E 1967. To Her Majesty, Queen Juliana. Your Majesty, We venture to approach you on a matter which we believe wi ll be of some interest to you, the subject being one of immense importance, bearing as it does implicat ions 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 t he 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, t he subject of flying saucers was consid ered by the majority to be laughable. Any attempt to discuss t he possibi lity of beings technologically superior to us, visiti ng Earth in space craft travelling at fantastic speeds, was to dismiss all the scientific concepts of the day. Indeed, in 1959, scientists were 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 who le 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, how ever, 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 con cerning the solar system in which we live. What they have not yet learned from the " here tical" reve lations 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 Un iverse. 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 phot ographing some of these space craft on movie-fi lm. 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 ex perts in many fie lds, 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 patt ern . Several of his helpers have been privi leged to meet these people. New colour movies have been taken of their ships, on occasion with th e deliberate connivance of the pi lots of the craft concerned. An American lady, Mrs. Madeleine Rodeffer, and two Germanborn, naturalised Americans, Mr. and Mrs. Fred Steckling, have been privi leged not on ly 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 th ese fil ms have been viewed by persons in authority, including photographic experts of t he 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, wou ld 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 recei ved messages, both garbled and clear, from the Space Brothers via ham radios, tensor-coil experi ments, etc., or of seeing spacemen or other uniden tified phenomena on their television screens. There was one amusing story of a man who fe ll asleep whi le 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 publ ished 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 fou nd 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 fe lt 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 addi tion 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 whi le it is playing«. A Warning Via Ham Radio. Whi le, even with an open mind, we cannot, un derstandably, 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 Wi lbert 8 . Sm ith, during his long and intensive study of the UFO Mystery.. W BS, as most of you know, was fi rst and foremost a scientist, and he never accepted anything without carefu l checks and cross-checks and only by this method was he rea sonably 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 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 Wi lbert Smith, on an unidentified waveband, were complete ly unintelligible to him - although they made a lot of sense to WBS. By this means and with the usual, requested con firmation 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 th e then Ottawa Flying Saucer Club were preparing to test out an experimental machine they had bui lt. 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 Wi lbert Smit h 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 experi mental machine would not stand the stress of the r.m.p. about to be placed on it and that it wou ld shatter under the strain ; precaution should be taken. Hee ding this advice, W BS and his co-workers built a protective wooden covering around the machine, after wh ich 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, W BS, more by implication t han 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 fi ll in t he blank spaces on the tape. Puzzled, WBS examined the tape care fully 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 on ly 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 speci fic purpose. Use of Television. Recently, the English magazine »Week-End« car ried the following article, and whi le it is written in a humorous, tongue-in -cheek vein, its writer may have been a lot closer to the trut h than he imagi ned!

" 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 pro duct 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 ident ified 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 comb inations 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 spec tra of these substances in laboratory conditions sim ulating 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 earch) from outside", Dr. Johnson declared. " The same thing could happen there" . To illustrate the point, Dr. Johnson said he cond ucted some experiments on rocks estimated to be 4½ bil lion years old. He found porphyrins, a " skele ton " 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. Credit: - Mrs. Merna Lindermayor, Can Bernadina, California. The space brothers - and Earth's electronic equipment Unavoidable Interference. One of the commonest occurrences indicating the close presence of a UFO is the unavoidable inter ference 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 equip ment 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: vvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvv) ap pears 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 Ob ject Stops Watches. A spokesman for Santa Maria Airport claimed today that a mysterious flying ob ject 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 Can berra, 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 sched uled 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 inci dents 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 stil l 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 consider ation 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. " TH EY'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 comfort able 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 Morie! was somewhere in the house, probably ringing through to some of the guests we were ex pecting 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, organ iser 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. I had flown across to Brussels a few days before, on September 1st, and drank coffee in the airport lounge with Pat Morie!, May's elder son, whilst we waited an hour or so for the Steckling's plane to come in from Washington, via New York and Co logne. They were flying LUFTHANSA. Patrick had them paged as the Cologne flight be gan 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 Volksvagen and smiling ly 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 clattered with luggage-loaded trollies as the passengers came away from Customs and began passing through the barr iers, some hurrying, some looking lost, others being greeted enthusiastically by waiting friends . The huge hall rang with sound, and above all were the dis embodied 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 Comm ittee. Fred seemed a rather serious-faced young man. Both were in their early thirties. Both were German born, naturalised Americans. They had lived in Ca nada 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, on ly 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. Madelei.ne 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 I
116 ufo contact ufo contact 137 astic senators, Madeleine, who had worked in a Gov ernment office for many years, just stood up and told them that she wouldn 't like to be in THEI R 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. And Madeleine had come out of the committee room seething with anger. A few weeks afterwards 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 Washing ton. Oh, and Lind a, 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 shi ning. " 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 Steck ling and Ingrid were not money-grabbing "contact ees" making a fast buck. Th ey spoke quietly, but forcefully at times. Perhaps Fred could not quite shake off this fee ling of having to convince someone all the time. " Ronald," he said, after a rather long, somewhat tired silence. They'd been travell ing for many, many hours. " Ron ald, 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 wat ching T.V. I don't re member the show. Suddenly -" and again Ingrid was bursting with agreement, "- sudden ly it went doot-di-di-doot-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." Patrick swerved among the traffic on a bumpy patch of road. " Th ere 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 Washing ton Airport. " Ingrid cou ldn'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 overhang ing 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 thoughfully. " 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. " 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 Virgini a, near where he lives. Th e 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. 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 Ger man 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 fi rst lecture was on the evening of our arr ival in Antwerp, at May Morlet's home. Of the 50-60 in the audience, which included reporters, I noticed a young woman. I sh al I not describe her. Later that night, in fact at 3.30 in the morning, we had sat t alking, all of May's house-guests, until the small hours, as we were to do every night of our visit - I walked with Ha.ns Petersen around some 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 on ly a very small part of the total number of reported falls. Until the Rocket-age's attempts to explain condit ions in the Space around us began, a remarkab le attitude prevailed within certain scientific circles in regard to that Space. Earth was the navel of the Cosmos, around which and about which everything turn ed. 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 th at Space is not empty. Am ong other things, dust has been ·registered. And it has become dusty in the space-capsule when t he capsu le 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 th at the same elements or units which make up the "creation" are to be fou nd in invisible form in this so-cal led empty Space. It " only" needs the right chemi cal reaction to take place for the who le to take solid form and to build up as planets, comets, meteorites or ice - or for th at 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 th at, under certain conditions, solid matter is formed in empty Space - as we ll 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 enorm ously difficult, - yes, almost impossible, - to differentiate between what are rem ains 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 gath ered 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 th ese 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. In fact, we need not go to al l the great amount of trouble that we do, to steri lize the space-ships and probes which are to be sent up ; - our bacteria has long been present on our sister planets and many other planets, just as " their bacteria" has been a long, long wh ile living with us. Thus there exists great unexplored areas of res earch with which science can come to grips and learn from ; and when, finally, these are explained, th e next natural step wil l 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 " infect" our sister planets' inhabitants with our bac teri a. For a while yet we shall only find meteorites that originate from planets, comets or asteroids, and ice which falls from the toi let-systems of airplanes. October 1966. Here, in a report just rece ived from the United States, is an important break-through into the area of research mentioned in the afore-going article.

From: Los Angeles " Herald-Examiner", Sunday, January 22nd 1967. »L.A. Man finds Life in Space« THERE IS LIFE IN SPACE! Ch lorophyll, key compound of life on earth, exists abundantly in outer space. Th ese 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 Pasa dena. Based on his findings, Dr. Johnson told the Berke ley colloquium the possibility that man is not alone in the universe is excellent.

" There is very good evidence, on the other hand, that there may be simi lar forms of life throughout the universe".

COLON EL MACLAUGH LI N. Missile expert. (Statement in 1949.) - * 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 sight ings. 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. Inform ation offi cers 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. Ki rtland would make no comment exept 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 wculd be re leased except through the Public Information Office under the Secretary of the Air Force. Neither WSMR nor Hol loman AFB personnel has any authority in the case. Clark said eyewitnesses, when they could be ident ified, would not allow use of their names beca:ise of the Air Force regulation. However, these witnesses estimated that the " silv ery discs" were flying at an altitude of " 20,000 to 25,000 feet" and moving at a speed of " approximat ely 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 accu rate 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.

And so, Iife goes on . . . -* UFO's over British Columbia On April 14th, 1967, at about 8.05 p.m., Ian Squire and Scott McNeil! (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 res idential 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 hard ly any wind at all. At 8.10 p.m. the same evening, i.e. f ive or six min utes later, Ian Squire's grandmother (name withneld at witness' request) was driving uphill along Cad boro 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 wit ness, who is personally known to me through her daughter and grandson, unfortunately did not stop to investigate. Instead, she continued on right under neath 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

GEORGE ADAMSKI WAS MANY TIMES ACC USED 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 photo graphs of so-called space-ships which he cl ai med 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 thi s integrity al l 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 detai l 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 Lon don from lectures in outlying cities of the British Isles, the rumor was out that I was to have an inter view with Queen Juli ana. I was at the home of Des mond Leslie when the telephone rang. It was a rep orter asking for verification of the interview. I admitt ed only that such a rumor existed, and did not con firm anything. The reporter was cautioned not to publish anything until it had been confirmed. He agreed to await con firmation , out of respect for Queen Juliana, but his respect was apparently short-lived. The Daily Herald of April 29th, 1959, London, pub lished the following article under the heading, " Ju liana's New Joy - Flying Saucers" . The reporter gave this account : " I checked with Juli ana's secretary. 'Yes,' the secretary said over the phone from Hol land. 'Her Majesty has asked Mr. Adamski to con fidential talks. More than that I cannot disclose. The talk will be between the two of them alone.' " The newspaper accounts which clai med I told rep orters of the forthcoming meeting with Queen Juliana were entirely false. One thing is certain : the press was furiou s. The reporters could not get any inform ation 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 chi lly 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 HAGU E, May 19th. Queen Juliana and the Prince of the Netherlands today received , at Soest dijk Palace, Mr. George Adamski, the American author of several books on space travel. The Queen and Prince Bernhard had a talk lasti11g 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 Nether lands Society for Avi ation, Lieutenant-General H. Schaper, Chief of the Royal Netherlands Air Staff, Professor Jongbloed, of Utrecht University, an expert in medical science dealing with avi ation, and Pro fessor 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 represen tative 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. At this time I will relate the true facts of my inter

Gradually, as science is enabled to ex plain some of the mysteries of the Universe it comes its origin and how it functions. into areas which were previously unknown or only accepted on a basis of faith. 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 Every new experience - physical or spiritual - must fit into a pattern which gives both faith and mean kind 's control over it, because science's field of endeavour has increased in size.

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.

130 ufo contact ufo contact 123 Science Science and God DR. WERNHER VON BRAUN. " It is one of the tragedies of our time, that science and religion have become adversaries", says Dr. Wernher van Braun, who is one of the world 's lea ding space-researchers, head of the George C. Mar shall 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 cont rary 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 nat ure so we become more impressed and humbled by its orderliness and never-failing perfection. Our ex tensive 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. Th at which we can see of the mysteries of the Universe through the crack in that door only con firms 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 red uce Him so that He can be comprehended offers but fu rther 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 under stand, grows. It gives peace of mind to think of God as the Father of al l, and the resultant thought, that al l men are brothers, is an ethical guide-line. Scientists only know that in nature nothing is des troyed without being converted into energy. Not even the tiniest particle can disappear without leaving a trace. Nature knows nothing of annihi lation, 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 theo logians about what we can expect when we leave this world. From th e dawn of time the conception of immortality has had its influence on untold millions of people. THE SOUL DIVIDES MANKIND FROM OTHER CREATIONS. The soul separates Man from the animal. An animal's actions are dictated by its inborn impulses, i.e. hunger, fear and self-preservation.

I retold much of what I had written in my second book. The major questions of our con ference dealt with our future in outer space. Awareness of time was lost as we all grew inter ested in the conversation about outer space. Wh at began as a forty-five minute interview lasted two hours. Finally the Queen reminded me that my lect ure 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 remi nded me of the tim e, 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 con ference 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 high J way and fac ing the Palace. As the car came through the gate, many of th ese 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 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 cap acity crowd was waiting. The people present were fi lled 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 Ru ssian sci entist 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 possibi lities later that morn ing. Was it possible that a Russi an had made a trip as I had, or did t hey 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 ope ration, 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 auto matically and I entered the hotel. I was greeted by many people, including the man ager 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 ref used, he hurried through the other questions, and the news conference was over. I was told t his 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 Am sterdam, to attend the preview of an Italian f ilm, Death Comes From Outer Space. The death that came from outer space was a gig antic asteroid travelling at terrific speed directly toward the earth. This asteroid was formed from all the debris blown into space by our atomic and hyd rogen 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 mil itary in every other nation to aim their atomic miss iles 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 rep lied that it could and gave the following explanation: " The lightning bolt is created from invisible par ticles of matter that are fused together by the terr ific 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 artifi cial asteroid. The larger the mass of debris, the more attraction it would have for additional particles." Thi s picture alerted me to the possibility that rad iation 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 cras hed to their doom. Could they have crashed into some of the high-energy pockets left by our explos ions? Some of these man-made asteroids burn and glow, and could be mistaken for ordinary meteorites. Thi s may also be the answer to some of the fireballs that have been reported. By the way of closing this chapte r, 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'Aqu ila, dated June 13th, 1959, and reads as follows: " At the end of the lecture in Amsterdam, Pro fessor 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. Qu oti ng 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 inform ation : Professor Seelliger is in good rel ation 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 repo rt: " But one thing we can say for sure, no press reporters were present. So what the press had fu'rther 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. Th ey might have learned something of dignity, kindness and genti lity, from a great woman who rules her country with wisdom and love. From: " Flying Saucers Farewell" 1961 , by George Adamski.

Th e enclosure No. 2. clearly shows, that these found the key to the problem, which may turn out to have an altogether unexpected solution . In antiquity and the Middle Ages human imaginat ion 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 vers ion must have been written in Latin in the middle of the third century at the earliest, and later trans lated into many languages. A 15th-century Byelo russian transl ation made five centuries before the space era contains a highly unusual interpretation of the tale. The star, it says, was watched by astron omers (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 introd uces 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. ANGELS IN FLYING MACH INES. The Dechany Monastery in Kosovskaya Metehia, southern Yugoslavia, was built in the first half of the 14th century, and by 1350 contained numerous fresc oes on subjects from the Old and New Testaments. In the spring of 1964 more frescoes were found in the monastery. The Yugoslav magazine Svet publis hed photographs entitled : " Spaceships on the Dec hany Crucifix, Sputniks in our frescoes, Could anci ent icon-painters have depicted spaceships in Dec hany?" 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. Two ships are shown flying one after the other from west to east. Sitting in the lead ship is a man 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 stab ilizer 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 al 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 lo 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, " baff le layman and specialist alike." The Dechany " Miracle" is not unique. An icon in the Church Archaeology Study of the Moscow Theo logical 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 l 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 ascens ion, but if there is, nothing is known about it. Poss ibly 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). Oberth. Th e 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, embraci ng 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 attent ion 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 PROJ ECT 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 gov ernment, instead of investing money in the investig ation 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 cas ually been investigating UFO cases, classified as " Confidential" since 1944, under project names, such as, Sigma, Grudge, and Bluebook. Valuated back wards this represents budgetary expenditures amount ing 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 res olution adopted by acclamation by the General Ass embly last December 19, and signed by 62 nations, exploring in outer space. Th e transplanted articles of the mentioned Security Pact are as follows: a. earth and earthman security - supreme constit utional authority of UN in relation to outer space in articles No. 1.111.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 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 constitut ional 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 gov ernments' 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 representat ives, I remain very respectfu I ly you rs signature Colman VonKeviczky 3 enclosures. ICUFON ENCLOSURE NO. 1.

Globally collected documentation should be exhib ited and carried out by the Intercontinental UFO Observe r and Analytic Network - classified in three parts: 1. The UFO Evidence. 2. The Space Ships. 3. The Planetarians. * 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 Ame rican " war psychosis". However, in this issue of UFO CONTACT, you can read an account of recent Soviet moves reg arding the UFO -case. (See " Soviet Radar Spots UFO" .) Here, below, we bring you a Russi an writer's acc ount of his research into the problems and mysteries 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 Reli cs of the Past", and " The Evolution of the Univ erse and Intelligent Beings." With acknowledgements to the " SPUTNIK" month ly digest, Jan. 1967, we present the article in two parts. Here is Part One, of Visitors from outer space by Vyacheslav Zaitsev. Expanding knowledge about the Universe usually means more puzzles than discoveries. As man un ravels each new mystery, he is assai led 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 explor ing 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 thous and 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." Arch aeologists 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 Aca demy of Pre-History banned publication of his work. Eventually permission was obtained and the prof essor and his four colleagues published their coll ective 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. 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 int entions ..." Another Ham hieroglyph expresses regret over the loss of the tribe's own spaceships during a danger ous 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 import ant 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 fe lt 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 spel eologists have found 12,000 year-old vestiges of graves and skeletons. The remains belong to human beings with huge craniums and underdeveloped skel etons. 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 sym bols 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 (poss ibly 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 Tassi li. In addition to pictures of animals and hunting scenes, ' ing gear. Nor is there any association with the hunt ers who, as some scholars assume, used ostrich egg shells for helmets. Lotte cal led 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 cov ered 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 Pol lux of Dioscuria, as well as Helen and Neme sis, 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 inter pretation of this art leaveg 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, th e German magazine Freie Welt in issue No. 12, 1966, printed a selection of rock drawings and phot ographs of dogu under the humorous title, " Vi siting 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 wal ls in the Val Comonique, the Swiss Alps, in Au stralia, close to Fergana and near the city of Navoi, in Soviet Central Asia. Puzzles that may have started with a space visit are contained in legends and myths. Legends of Au stralia, the Near East, South and Central America and the Far East al l tell of the descent of gods from the sky. They offer food for thought. 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 When deciphered, one of the hieroglyphs presum ably 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 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- THE STAR OF BETHLEHEM. The phrase " Star of Beth lehem" is twenty cent uries old. Some regard it as a product of sheer

~t---- -- • March 19, 1969 John Edgar Hoover United States Department of Justice ~Federal Bureau of Investigation Washington 2.5, D.c. Dear Mr_, Hoover: December 1, 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. F.d.gar Hoover and associated this object with the crash of this plane. Mr. Hoover infonned 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. Cl r~1 / ........ In the month of March, 196.5, the C.A.B., released a report that this ~.~ f accident and cause was due to a lightning strike. t-. o,. "" I protested to Senator Case of New Jersey. Senator Case mailed me , 0 ., ,..._ the official report by the C.A.B., along with a letter by a Mr. John 1:....; Dregge, Director Community and Congressional Relations. (."· ~ Upon reading the Official C. A.B. report on this accident and also I 0 u 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 p.~ z 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 m;y claim I would refer you to page 8 line 20 to line 24 inclusive of this report File #1-001.5. Boeing 707-121 N709PA Pan .American World Airways, Inc., near Elkton, Maryland, December B, J.963. , ; 1I'ft_ REQ-128 cf£-/~l'C?r---~~ -tJ s·• c, - --J\!J-µ 25 MAR-27 1969 \i7, \ - 3- APR4 1969
.., --y • '7age 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 identif'ied since the chemical composi tion 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 detail s 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 connnon, 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 Astr ononzy- and also books on Flying Saucers. I lmow that t his 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 :kas able to see the complete details of the color and also the design, which I furnished to the government. I also lmow why this design was used and also why the colors were arranged as they were. }tr experiments proved this. Thru m;y experiments I have been able to determine the followings 1. Where they get the tremendous speed from. 2. The wobbling effect they have on occasion. J. Appearing to o~llate about their vertical axis. 4. Why they make no noise, condensation, or exhaust. !,. Whoshing and wheezing, humming noise on occasions. 6. D'!fferent 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 fl.ying saucer. SUbjected to ridicule if' this be mentioned to any one, and/or reported to the authorities. •
- •Russia is ...., m,are of this fact and has cap, alized 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. 11So.me price 11• 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. I am not a Phophet of Doom, just an American Citizen who is concerned about the future of America. A copy of 'this letter is being President Nixon J. Edgar Hoover Senator Case of New Jersey Senator Charles H. Percy of Illinois Melvin Laird, Secretary of Defense V>? 1
_ r..~ - ; AdOO ' Oll3 X HARVARD COLLEGE OBSERVATORY CAMBRIDGE 38, MASSACHUSETTS July 28, 1964 Mr. Edward A. Stewart, Jr. 152 Mount Holly Avenue Mount Holly, New Jersey Dear Mr. Stewart: The object you saw was a bright meteor, sometimes called a "fireball" or a 1'bolide 11 • Almost all vecy 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.

C. 19806 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 attemped to run down witnesses of UFO sightings, made disturbingl3,1mcrst macabre phone calls, silenced several investigators who were supposed to have learned some dark secret about extraterrestial craft or mission plans and epened 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. • Yours Truly,/ .~~ t tZI·J]U <.ol-g3 r lu I s/ Mr. Larr~ tephcaa '-!..I I " c./ 7 P.

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 fonn 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. tX-111 Yours sincerely, ./- y(~-;;r -::p::1974 La:;-l.

'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 over looked by the scientific community. 2 Atchs 1. Sighting Summary 2. UFO-related Materials 2 '
• 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 ~o 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 invest igating and analyzing UFOs was rescinded. All documentation regarding the former Blue Book investigation has been per manently 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 consider able 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.

He advised that Jody Powell of the President ' s sta ff 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 oono,µct 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.
