Dear Sir: I am a member of "Niac" and am very much interested in U. S. D. D.

Having received & read my first issue I feel it isn't just what it appears on the surface - circuitry just why, but with my limited idea of how Communists operate it strikes me it is backed by them. My reason for writing this is that I consider myself a true American, I am told my ancestors go back to a time in Scandinavia who was an Icelandic Squaw & climber of it. Of by writing to this AFSCA Report, my name could in anyway be aligned with the Communist party, I would like to know if there is any way I can get things straightened out.

(Editor's Note: This special message was received from Master Kalen-Li Retan (head of the planet Korendor, about 400 light years distant) on May 4, 1966 via special directional short-wave radio by Bob Renaud, the young electronic-technician whose remarkable story we printed in issues #18, 19, 20, 21, and aa, and which will be continued in our next issue. Since Bob's initial radio contact in 1961, he has talked with the crew of a spacecraft as he watched them on his special TV screen in his home and eventually met his contacts in-person; visited their undersea and underground bases on our planet; was taken aboard many of their spaceships; and was actually allowed to pilot two of their small scout. craft one on a short solo flight.) "Kalo (Hello), friends. We will get directly to the point of our message to you. Frankly, we are appalled at the state of Earth at present. Despite our constant warnings and even our actual intervention in some instances, the condition upon your planet grows steadily worse. # FLYING SAUCER SAUCER CONVENTION (cont.) ## FLYING SAUCERS Official Journal of the (cont.) 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. # FLYING SAUCER SAUCER CONVENTION (cont.) ## FLYING SAUCERS Official Journal of the (cont.) 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 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! # FLYING SAUCER SAUCER CONVENTION (cont.) ## FLYING SAUCERS Official Journal of the (cont.) 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 industrial 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! # FLYING SAUCER SAUCER CONVENTION (cont.) ## FLYING SAUCERS Official Journal of the (cont.) 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' economy is bolstered and maintained at a high level of prosperity; human life is secondary to the preservation of economic well-being! It is thus evident that, unless a drastic change is made in the structure of your economy, war will never end because the 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? ## FLYING SAUCERS INTERNATIONAL ISSUE NO. 24 Official Journal of the JULY, 1966 # FLYING SAUCER SAUCER CONVENTION (cont.) ## Amalgamated Flying Saucer Clubs of America, Inc.

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

WILBUR MILLER, one of the early researchers in the Flying Saucer Movement, passed away on March 5, 1966. He was known for his fine channel contacts with several Space Beings, including Monka of Mars. He also was the co-author with his wife, Evelyn of the book "We of the New Dimension." Although he was a native of Missouri he had, in recent years, been a resident of Los Angeles and of Morongo Valley, Calif. (Good journey, Will!) HOPE TROXELL, founder of the School of Thought, now situated in Independence, Calif. (P. O. Box 458), reported recently that the neighboring towns of Bishop and Lone Pine had partial blackouts during an evening channel (teltpathic) session she was having with the Space Brothers. The lights in Inde- pendence went out completely for several minutes by a gradual fade-out, and then came on again in the same manner. During this time, the Space Being speaking through Hope said to those present: "Be not afraid. We are guardians of the race. Protection will be given to those in the area." # FLYING SAUCER SAUCER CONVENTION (cont.) ## COMING 1966 FLYING SAUCER CONVENTIONS (cont.)

HELEN & GABRIEL GREEN contributed their bit to the education of nearly 300,000 young people to the saucer subject at the Teen-Age Fair, April 1 thru 10 at the Hollywood Palladium, where AFSCA had a booth to exhibit saucer photos, show slides, and to disseminate information. We handed out over 13,000 brochures and saucer photo post cards, and talked ourselves hoarse answering questions for 12 hours each day. Gabriel also made over a dozen radio and TV appearances and interviews during the Fair. We also had another booth at the National Aviation and Aerospace Exhibition at the Pan Pacific Auditorium, May 17 thru 22. Yes, we've been busy! # FLYING SAUCER SAUCER CONVENTION (cont.) ## COMING 1966 FLYING SAUCER CONVENTIONS (cont.) The Military-Industrial complex, by opinion-control through the use of psycho-politics (brainwashing by controlled news management). Consider this: In order to survive, a commer- cial medium, such as a newspaper or magazine, requires a vast amount of advertising revenue. The mere subscription fees will not cover the costs. Thus, they depend for their continued existence upon money paid by advertisers. Suppose, then, that the editor of a certain newspaper decides that he is opposed to the Vietnam policy, and says so in his paper. The advertisers simply say to the editor, "Either you toe the mark and print what we want, or we'll withdraw our advertising." Such pressures are a fact of life. The newsmen are torn between their higher devotion to Truth, and also to the lower level of their physical needs. Rather than jeopardize their security and their futures they, of course, submit meekly to power. Their actions are fully understandable, and we do not hold them responsible. # FLYING SAUCER SAUCER CONVENTION (cont.) ## COMING 1966 FLYING SAUCER CONVENTIONS (cont.) We throw the blame directly on the Military- Industrial complex which, by its underhanded dealing, threats of force, and economic pressure and retali- ation, has crushed the spirit of American journalism and turned it from a dynamic motivating force in American life into a weak-willed, subservient mouthpiece for the power-masters. We blame them for the death of journalistic freedom and individuality! One more comment on this topic: May I say that a better economic system already known to the leaders of the Flying Saucer Movement. It is the system known as Universal Economics. As we have said over and over before, it is the non-money economic system which MUST be applied on your planet before you can start to resolve most of your major problems and thus begin to establish a highly- advanced, non-destructive state of existance on Earth, such as we of more advanced planets have enjoyed for so long. INVESTIGATE THIS SYSTEM to evaluate it for its merit - then ACT to apply it! YOUR VERY SURVIVAL AS A CIVILIZATION MAY DEPEND UPON IT! Perhaps this is an opportune time to clarify a few questions which have been asked about us. # FLYING SAUCER SAUCER CONVENTION (cont.) ## COMING 1966 FLYING SAUCER CONVENTIONS (cont.) Do we of Korendor work with the local planets in our operations? Yes, we do cooperate with them a great deal. However, our work on Earth is relatively independent of the local planets. We have many times overstepped what is considered to be the limit of interference upheld by Venus, Mars, and other planets. This has caused a good deal of debate between them and us. Each time we have pointed out that we of Korendor are basically pragmatic in nature. Although we do respect the laws of self-destiny, we feel also that where stepping in is required prevent disaster, it is our right and our duty to do so. We have interfered in such places as the United States, China, Russia, and on a large scale in Vietnam. This has caused no end of consternation in the local Tribunal of Planets. We are sympathetic to their viewpoint, but we do feel that their policy is limited in its capacity to achieve the desired goals. It is our opinion that one cannot stand on the sidelines and achieve any noticeable results. # FLYING SAUCER SAUCER CONVENTION (cont.) ## COMING 1966 FLYING SAUCER CONVENTIONS (cont.) As I have said before, we have infiltrated your planet. We are directly involved in Earth's life. You might say that you have been invaded a strong way of phrasing it, to be sure, but nonetheless factual, since we walk and work amongst you daily! We have been asked about our physical appear- ance. We are humanoid, indistinguishable from yourselves, except that in our natural form we aver- age three to four feet in height. Every other dimen- sion is proportionately scaled, so that photographs of us would not reveal our origin in any way. Kalen-Li Retan We are able to increase our height while on Earth through a technical process related to telepor- tation. It is concerned with recording the atomic and molecular structures of our bodies, and then repro- ducing them identically on a larger scale. Differ- ences in our internal structure are adjusted by the computer which controls the reproducer. Our most common skin color is a little darker than yours, although we have skin colors which vary as yours do all over the Earth. Usually, however, we would look "tan" to you. We are NOT green, blue, or heliotrope, as has been suggested! # FLYING SAUCER SAUCER CONVENTION (cont.) ## COMING 1966 FLYING SAUCER CONVENTIONS (cont.) Concerning our language, we generally use one of two tongues and we are fairly familiar with a third. On Korendor itself we speak the native language, Korendian. It is similar in many ways to your own languages since it, like yours, was originally derived from Galingua, one of the two universal tongues. The other is Solex Mal, which is more familiar to you, since it is used by your local Solar System planets. It is seldom heard now in our sector of space, as Galingua has replaced it almost completely. Unlike your own, however, the Korendian- Galinguan speech is very rhythmic, and has few sibilant sounds, such as "s" or "z". Some of the sharper sounds like "c" and "k" are minimized. It is a beautiful language which is very musical and pleasant to hear. Perhaps you would be surprised to learn that ancient Latin was liberally taken from Galingua. There are many similarities in the two languages. Even modern English has roots on other worlds! # FLYING SAUCER SAUCER CONVENTION (cont.) ## COMING 1966 FLYING SAUCER CONVENTIONS (cont.) In concluding my message to you, may I say people of Earth: open up your minds and your hearts to the world around you. There is so much to be learned, so much to be discovered. Don't waste precious hours and days in bigotry and ignorance, and in senseless fighting and killing. To do so is truly a crime against nature and humanity. At this stage where you have the very stars. almost in your grasp, how irrational and barbaric it is to spend futile hours warring with your brothers. As an old saying on your world puts it: "As you make your bed, so shall you lie in it." The decision does not seem difficult. Here are the alternatives: A world living in harmony, justice, security and abun- dance for all, or a world continuing to reap the bloody harvests that grow from the seeds of hatred and mistrust. If left to their own devices, the majority of mankind will forge onward to a destiny of destruction and annihilation, oblivious to the danger in their actions. They are short-sighted; they care little for the future.

When we send our envoys into space There'll be a smile upon this planet's face, 'Cause brother, right out there-I'm telling you, So you won't shriek or shake your fist There's another human race; it's very true! When you discover Martians do exist! ## They're real nice fellows. They're a very, very peaceful crowd, For they just never go to war. And they cannot interfere, This is by Universal Law.

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, Got brothers on Venus and Saturn, it seems- Fly their ships on magnetic beams. They wear one piece suits-you can't see any seams; But apart from that-they're just like us! And there isn't any friction. Brother have you seen their ships?

Californian, Who 'Talks' to Men From the Stars, Says 'Yes'; Scientists Assail Air Force, ## By ELLIOT CARLSON Staff Reporter of THE WALL STREET JOURNAL They're back. The latest was sighted a few nights ago by residents and pilots in the north- ern tier of states and Canada. They described it as an orange fireball. The Air Force at first called it an unidentified flying object, but now thinks it was a meteor. Some other people called it a flying saucer. # AFSCA CONVENTION SPEAKERS (cont.) ## By ELLIOT CARLSON (cont.) Several people say they saw the fireball land Thursday night. An 11-year-old boy in Lorain, Ohio, says he watched it drop into the woods near his home. A woman in Elyria, Ohio, 10 miles away, claims she saw it plunge into a vacant lot across the street from her home. Others say they saw it streak into Lake Michi- gan. Scientists and police combed a 75-acre area near Pittsburgh after a woman there saw the object crash to earth "smoldering." Despite these witnesses and search efforts, however, the thing has yet to be found. In this regard, it is like all other unidentified flying objects, or UFOs, which are mysterious be- cause they are seen but never found. Whatever it turns out to be-meteor, satel ite part, hoax, weather oddity or man from Mars--it appeared in a banner year for such objects, which almost disappeared from public consciousness following rash of reports of flying saucers in the mid-1950s: "We've had more reports this year than in any year since 1957, when we had more than a thousand," says a spokesman for Project Blue Book, the Air Force program set up in 1948 to evaluate re- ports of the phenomena. # AFSCA CONVENTION SPEAKERS (cont.) ## By ELLIOT CARLSON (cont.) NEW SAUCER PHOTOS: These remarkable photos of Flying Saucers were taken by Dr. Daniel W. Fry, President of Understanding, Inc., of P. O. 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. ## Visitors From Outer Space Nobody knows what the objects are or where they come from, but there is no lack of theories -or of controversy. The Amalgamated 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 California group, "space people give contactees information about life on other planets and solutions to insurmountable prob lems on our planet." One suggestion allegedly made to Mr. Green f à 1960 by a visit from Al- pha Centauri, a nearby star: Run for Presi- dent as a write-in candidate. (He campaigned briefly, then decided not to run.) # AFSCA CONVENTION SPEAKERS (cont.) ## Visitors From Outer Space (cont.) The National Investigations Committee on Aerial Phenomena (NICAP), a private re- search organization in Washington, doesn't hold with that theory. "We reject reports of noble beings landing on earth to solve all our problems," says a spokesman. So men from Mars are a lot of bunk? Not necessarily, says the committee. It believes a Congressional in- vestigation would prove that UFOs "are real physical objects... under the control of living beings." As an afterthought, the spokesman says: "There are a tremendous number of ego- maniacs who have been able to appoint them- selves experts in this field because it's so con- fused," One man who's not confused at all is Charles A. Maney, professor emeritus of physics and mathematics at Defiance, College in Ohio. Says the professor: "These objects are unquestion- ably from outer space." He bases his reason- ing on the fact that the objects often interfere with local electrical circuits, indicating to him. they have "a means of propulsion associated with magnetic fields." # AFSCA CONVENTION SPEAKERS (cont.) ## "There's Nothing To It" The only solid fact emerg ing: A lot of people are up at 4 a.m. But Mr. Menzel reads more into the Air Force data than does the Air Force itself. Of the 9,786 UFO reports made to the Air Force since 1947, 673 remain classified as "unidenti- fied," a spokesman says. He defines this cate- gory as containing sightings whose pertinent data can't be correlated with any known object or phenomena. # AFSCA CONVENTION SPEAKERS (cont.) ## "There's Nothing To It" (cont.) The whole problem, says J. Allen Hyntek, 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. Robert Risser, director of the Oklahoma Sci- ence and Art Foundation planetarium at Okla- homa City, believes "the Air Force must have had its star-finder upside down during Aug- ust," when several reports of flying saucers were ascribed by the Air Force to sightings of stars. The constellations of Taurus and Orion weren't visible at the time the Air Force said. the sightings were made. I think they made an error." The Air Force's approach disturbs some people, however. "The Air Force should admit there are natural phenomena taking place un- der our noses of which we know nothing," says I. M. Levitt, director of Fels Planetarium at the Franklin Institute in Philadelphia. He adds: "The Air Force is trying. o explain something that isn't susceptible to explanation." # AFSCA CONVENTION SPEAKERS (cont.) ## "There's Nothing To It" (cont.) "Pressures to conformity in academic cir- cles and fear of ridicule have slowed the study," according to Robert Hall, a sociology professor at the University of Illinois in Chi- cago. "The possibility of life on Mars is an un-" popular thing to consider these days," says Frank B. Salisbury, a professor of plant phy- siology at Colorado State University. At the risk of being unpopular, Mr. Salisbury told the fifth annual Space Conference this year that "there may be some natural explanation of these things, but a tentative possibility to be considered is that UFOs are spaceships from Mars." Fueling the flying-saucer controversy has been the large number of reports from what many people consider reliable witnesses-pilots with technical backgrounds. Since 1947, more than 100 private, military and commercial pilots have reported spotting strange objects in the sky, according to one study. Pinning down such reports is difficult, how- ever. "Some of the boys did report things they couldn't identify a few years ago," says a spokesman for American Airlines. "But our pilots haven't made a report for years." # AFSCA CONVENTION SPEAKERS (cont.) ## "There's Nothing To It" (cont.) SARNIA-A revolving ob- ject, sighted in the sky east of Kettle Point last night, was watched for more than two hours by about 100 persons.

Mr. Bressette said it re- mained motionless for about an hour flashing lights, then. slowly began to rise. Cloud cover rolled in about 10 p.m., allowing only periodic sight- ings. "I've never seen anything like this," he said. "We all saw it. It was low-about 200 saw it. It was low-about 200 or 300 feet off the ground to I the east. Then it slowly began to move up." "I've seen swamp gas lights. This was not the same," he said. "Besides there hasn't been any, swamp gas lights around here since before the war." Mr. Bressette said his breth- er, Jeffery, also reported see-, ing an object over Sarnia. This one stayed stationary for a short time then shot across the sky at a very high speed. Nevertheless, "we have on file a great num- ber of reports from pilots who don't want their names used but still want to tell somebody what they've seen, claims J. B. Hartanft, Jr., president of the Aircraft Owners and Pilots As- sociation. And he says: "I haven't drawn any conclusions myself, but I think we've certainly got a good mystery on our hands." # AFSCA CONVENTION SPEAKERS (cont.) ## Flying Saucers Gain Proponent (cont.) Dr. J. Allen Hynek of North- western University, scientific consultant to the U.S. Air Force said phenomena seen at Dexter and Hillsdale on the night of March 20 probably were the result of swamp gases, # AFSCA CONVENTION SPEAKERS (cont.) ## Flying Saucers Gain Proponent (cont.) An officer in control tions at Selfridge Air Force Base, Mount Clemens, Mich., said the Canadian sighting was the fourth reported to him last night. The other three were from the Detroit area. "The possible existence of neighbors in space will, if con- firmed, create problems of le- gal, political and technical characteristics," he said. He said no radar reports" had been obtained on any of the sightings. Mr. Bressette reported jet planes in the area at one point while the group watched along the Lake Huron shore. But there was no possibility the object he saw was a jet. In Michigan new reports of Hammarskjold also suggested that our space neighbors are becoming more and more inter- opera-ested in what people are doing on earth. N.Y.

On investigation, a nest of flattened reeds was found, the circle being about 30ft in diameter and since then four other nests have been found close by, some of them newly made. During the last eight months, no less than seven different sightings of Flying Saucers have been reported in the North Queensland press. Hundreds. of sightseers have flocked to the Horseshoe Lagoon in the Tully District during the last few days to view the circles which are partly hidden by dense scrub.

Among the nearly 300 dele- gates was a self-professed system.

One delegate, Marianne Francis, warned that the sightings could mark the be- ginning of some "ominous ulation. But the convention changes" for the earth's pop- ulation. But the convention chairman, Dr. Frank Stranges, said the "interplan- etary visitors" would turn out to be "angelic creatures whose mission is to help mankind." # World Flying Saucer Believers Convene 2-6-66 (cont.)

The UFO was described then as a white and garishly bright disk, two feet in diameter. According to observers, the odd movements of the myster ious visitor was enthralling. Some felt as if it were "toying" with police, citizens and bor- officials by performing dives almost into the reservoir; at times appearing "as if it were looking down" upon the spectators from a silent station- ary position high in the heavens and by making neat right angles as if it were using the sky as a chalk board.

Hours later at 2:15 Wednesday muni-morning, it re-appeared over Wyckoff and five minutes later it was spied over the reservoir in Wanaque where police say it almost came to rest at the top| of the 1,500 foot long Raymond Dam. It was gone at 1:15 a.m. Police, reporters and resi- dents saw the disk as it whisked over Wanaque and Ringwood both Wednesday and Thursday night. The story of the mystic sky visitor is not without intrigue. The United States Air Force re- leased a number of reports which August Roberts, a mem- ber of the International Intell gence on unidentified Flying Ob jects claims are "a whitewash." Initially, when the object was first sighted, the Air Force said it was an official helicopter with a strong beacon. A few hours later Air Force jets were spotted by police flying over the Wana- que. Roberts theorized the object "might possibly have been a government experiment in the creation of an anti-gravity ma- chine." Experiment? # World Flying Saucer Believers Convene 2-6-66 (cont.) ## Nightly Vigil (cont.) As yet nobody really seems to know what the UFO was or where t came from. Some say it is a balloon, others, men from Mars. But this is not the first time a UFO has been sighted over the Wanaque. Some 18 years ago Charles Capen, former chief en- gineer of the North Jersey Dis- trict Water Supply Commission said he saw something that looked very similar to the object described in the newspaper. Reservoir police claimed to have seen something "round and bright" two weeks ago, over Lilly Hill in Stonetown and Board Mountain near Sloatsburg Road, according to Charles Theodora, Dean Noll, assistant engineer, for NJDWSC does not believe that the UFO might have been a mysterious attempt to pollute the water supply.

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

The Air Force has maintained that the sightings have been gas, light, weather, etc. but by talking to some of the people that have seen U.F.O.'s I'm wondering if the Air Force isn't lying. I'm not the only one wondering this, for the people that I have talked to say that after the Michigan sightings and the others they would not report it to the Air Force if they did see a U.F.O.. Reports say that even F.B.I. Agents have seen U.F.0.'s and this has been denied by the Air Force. The report recently about the police officer in Ohio or Penn. having serious family trouble as well as being ridiculed by people because of his sighting, along with a fellow police officer, of a U.F.O.. I see by this that the faith in our Air Force is beginning REC6line and if this is so then we may be putting our selves in the terrible position, as did Nazi position, as did Nazi mang in the 1930's.

Enclosed are copies of an article entitled "Armed Forces - Focus on UFO", which was published in the This World supplement of the San Francisco Examiner & Chronicle, Sunday, October 16, 1966. This article deals with the current controversy over the existence or nonexistence of flying saucers or Unidentified Flying Objects (UFOS), and quotes Michigan's Congressional Representative GERALD FORD as suggesting that Congress look into UFOs; also it announces that the Air Force, which is charged with investigating UFOs, has commissioned the Univer- sity of Colorado and Physics Professor EDWARD U. CONDON to conduct an in-depth study of flying saucers for the next 18 months, at an estimated cost of $300,000.

It is author Edwards' contention that UFOs are space vehicles sent to observe activities on earth and the Air Force, which is charged with the responsibility of investigating UFOs, has deliberately withheld information and given misleading explanations because it fears a mass panic by the public if the public were told the truth. The book describes UFOs as polished metal objects, radiating heat and light (sufficient to have burned witnesses who were too near), and emitting some force field that inter- feres with electromagnetic instruments and power sources. Colors range from brilliant white to dull reds and brilliant orange. Some objects have carried blinking lights. There are three basic shapes: 1) zeppelin-shaped ships up to 300 feet long; 2) disk-shaped objects ranging from a few feet in dia- meter to 100 feet, with many reported at about 30 feet diameter; and 3) egg-shaped objects, which according to the author are the ones most recently sighted. # OCT 21 12 17 PH '66 (cont.) According to the book, the objects move silently and attain fantastic speeds, yet can hover motionless in mid-air; they have been reported to land and to take off with great speed, usually with a burst of light from the underside, which in some cases has left the ground beneath them scorched. Many of the persons named in the book who have re- ported them are reliable individuals, including law enforce- ment officers, military 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 reputable persons. Many reported sightings are from atomic and missile research areas. Wreckage of crashed saucers has been reportedly re- covered on at least three occasions, in one case described as a magnesium alloy, in another as pure magnesium, and in a third case, attributed to an official of the Canadian government, the material was described as an exceptionally hard unknown metal, actually a matrix of magnesium orthosilicate which contained thousands of 15-micron metal spheres throughout, and showing evidence of micro-meteorites on its surface. -2- [page 28] SF 62-2927 DET: 1ms A few witnesses have reported seeing crewmen who had landed from the objects, who are described as three and a half to four feet tall, wearing what appear to be space suits and helmets. Author Edwards concludes this book with a prediction that in the near future UFOs will make an "overt landing" or deliberate contact with earth. A copy of this letter is being directed to Denver, in view of the contract awarded to Dr. EDWARD U. CONDON. The above is being called to the Bureau's attention in view of the press report of mounting pressure for a civilian controlled investigative agency to handle UFO matters. -3- [page 29] ## ARMED FORCES # OCT 21 12 17 PH '66 (cont.) ## Focus on UFO Winking, blinking and nod- ding red lights over Pasa- dena, blue lights over Greensboro, silver cigars over Detroit people kept seeing strange flying objects, and officials kept saying nothing was out there. But in recent years, and particularly since last sum- mer, the pressure had been mounting for either 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 come in bunches, the bulk of them last spring and summer. And the reports had come from all over. # OCT 21 12 17 PH '66 (cont.) ## "Like Neon Lamps" Among the most intriguing items in this year's crop: At Milan, Michigan, 15 miles south of Ann Arbor, bluish yellow bars of light were spotted, looking "like neon lamps dangling in the sky." In East Delhi, Mich., a 15-year-old boy called in to report seeing lights in the sky alternately standing still and moving, sometimes flashing on and off. In Altadena and San Marino, Calif., police switch- boards logged dozens of calls after a pair of red lights in the sky were reported by residents. In Toledo, Ohio, officials at the local airport received seven calls from persons who said they saw a glowing ob- ject that was red, green and white. # OCT 21 12 17 PH '66 (cont.) ## "Like Neon Lamps" (cont.) In suburban Detroit, a man saw a noiseless, wing- less, cigar-shaped flying ob- ject. In Bryan, Texas, resi- dents said they heard a star-like object purr. • Over Valdese, N.C., a "glowing blue thing" explod- ed, then lit up the town like a giant flashbulb. Sometimes the alleged sightings spilled over into the bizarre. A space ship full of little men allegedly landed in a farm yard near Hopkins- ville, Kentucky. The little men glowed, and they were described as "three feet tall, with eyes like saucers and hands like claws." A grain buyer in Nebraska said he was invited into a space ship where he chatted with four men and two wom- en. They spoke only broken English but fluent High German which, as it hap- pened, was the grain buyer's native tongue. # OCT 21 12 17 PH '66 (cont.) ## Silvery Cigar Nor did America have any corner on the UFO market. In Northern Ireland, Tom Hutchinson saw a saucer drop into a peat bog near his home in Moneymore. It was eggshaped, three feet in di- DR. CONDON Saucer-watcher ameter, 18 inches high. It be- gan to spin and Hutchinson. grabbed it. He was carrying it to the police, who de- scribed him as "level-headed and God-fearing," when the thing twisted out of his hands and got away. And in Warminster, Eng- land, a city council worker said he saw a silvery cigar. shape drifting over the vil- lage downs. After a time, he said, it seemed to stretch. Then it seemed to divide amidships with a flash of or- ange light, although there was no noise. # OCT 21 12 17 PH '66 (cont.) ## Flaming Object Not all the sightings could be easily written off as the phantasmagoria of kooks, cranks and drunks. And, un- less one subscribed to a theo- ry of mass hallucination, it was difficult to explain away simultaneous sightings con- firmed by many rational wit- nesses such as the flaming object that was seen last April by thousands of East. Coast residents from Wash- ington to Boston and even temporarily disrupted a ball game between the Chicago White Sox and the Wash- ington Senators in Wash- ington, D. C. Or the incident in Hills- UPI Telephoto dale, Michigan last March, in which a Civil Defense Direc- tor, an assistant dean, and 87 coeds reported that they had seen a glowing object zip past their college dormitory and hover in a swamp for hours. Witnesses said they watched from the second floor of the Hillsdale College girls dormitory as the object wobbled, wavered, glowed eerily and once zipped right at a dormitory window be- fore stopping suddenly. [page 30] of the 11,000 sightings since 1947, did have some ex- planations. The mysterious flaming object in the East was "probably a meteor." As for Michigan's much- publicized and plentiful unidentified flying objects, they turned out to be monkeyshines instead of moonships: "Unidentified college boys" playing pranks with flares to frighten the girls in the dormitories, came the august report from a distinguished astronomer called in by the Air Force to investigate the Hillsdale af- fair. Every report of a "flying saucer" had ostensibly been checked 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 since 1947, the Air Force insisted that only 646 remain unexplained and most of these because of insufficient information. The others have been attributed to planes, balloons, astronomical causes, missiles, swamp gas, meteors, fireworks and, in some cases, to hallucinations and psychological reasons. # OCT 21 12 17 PH '66 (cont.) ## Ball Lightning? Philip Klass, avionics edi- tor of Aviation Week & Space Technology magazine, recently proposed some other explanations. Klass, an electronics engineer, said a form of "ball lightning," gen- erated by high tension power lines, could explain the phe- nomena. ## 'No Threat' The main conclusions reached by the Air Force were: public could not accept this knowledge. "They won't give # OCT 21 12 17 PH '66 (cont.) ## 'No Threat' (cont.) "No unidentified flying objects reported, investigat- ed and evaluated by the Air Force have ever given any in- dication of a threat to our national security." "There has been no ev- idence submitted to or discov- ered by the Air Force that sightings represent techno- logical developments or prin- ciples beyond the range of present day scientific knowl- edge." "There has been no evi- dence that sightings catego- rized as unidentified are ex- ⚫traterrestrial vehicles." Major Donald Keyhoe, however, was unconvinced. Major Key hoe, USMC (re- tired), director of the Nation- al Investigations Committee on Aerial Phenomena (NI- CAP), a private space watch- ing organization, accused the Air Force of conducting a long-term whitewash on the UFO question. It was Key hoe's theory that the Air Force was with- holding information for fear of causing public panic. UFOs, insisted the Major, who had never seen one, were of extraterrestrial origin and the Air Force feared that the # OCT 21 12 17 PH '66 (cont.) ## 'No Threat' (cont.) The surrounding text discusses theories about UFOs: * Major Keyhoe believed the Air Force was withholding information about UFOs due to fear of public panic, asserting they were of extraterrestrial origin. * Philip Klass suggested that many sightings occurred near high-tension lines, where luminous balls of ionized air could be generated. Many of the sightings, said Klass, occurred along or very near high-tension lines where luminous balls of ionized air- could be generated under certain conditions. # OCT 21 12 17 PH '66 (cont.) ## 'No Threat' (cont.) you details," he complained. "If they did, many of their explanations would fall flat." And Key hoe could also claim a powerful ally in Michigan's Gerald Ford, the House Republican leader, who suggested it would be "a very wholesome thing" for Congress to look into uniden- tified flying objects. Such an investigation. Ford suggest- ed, would make the Ameri- can people "feel better." # OCT 21 12 17 PH '66 (cont.) ## 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- vestigating reports of glow- ing, flying, zooming, wink- ing, awesome, blinking, streaking, hovering 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 Colorado to conduct an "in-depth" study of flying saucers for the next 18 months. The director of the study (expected to cost $300,000) would be Dr. Ed- ward U. Condon, former di- rector of the National Bureau of Standards, and now a physics professor at Colora- do. To satisfy the skeptics, and insure the study's objectivi- ty, Colorado would select several other universities to take part in the independent investigation, with about 100 scientists participating. And in case that wasn't enough, the National Acade- my of Sciences also agreed to appoint a panel to review the Colorado report. [page 31] OPTIONAL FORM NO. 10. MAY 1962 EDITION GSA GEN. REG.

Collins, # 26th November, 1966 (cont.) ## UPI-133 (cont.) 212 Sharon Drive, Chesapeake, Virginia, telephone 547-4648, advised that he desired to report that he had observed a large oblong-shaped object which alighted in the street in front of him when he was on his way home from his television repair shop, the Oak Grove T. V., 6424, Great Bridge Road, Chesapeake, Virginia. He believes that he was taken into this craft which he recalls as being made of a glass like substance and being transparent. It was manned by several individuals who appeared to be undersized creatures similar to members of the human race, probably not more than 4 feet tall. They were allegedly wearing regular trouser pants and T-Shirts. Collins believes that he was transported by this craft for an undetermined distance and returned to his point of take-off approximately one hour later. Collins spoke in a coherent manner although he appeared to be under certain emotional strain. He claimed he had not been drinking any intoxicants but he was unable to account for the time between 8:00 p.m. and 4:00 a.m.. He stated he was telephoning from his workshop but had no recollection of being elsewhere between 8:00 p.m. and 4:00 a.m. The above is being furnished for your information. a [page 52] rioso 190.1M - I SIEDM-I T-T120000 260COU awebпAoM .M - I 916W 1M -- A Toivoqua trigin od noidamolat berein anifo MOLE: V GPбCк OF BULG .noizivi evinizmi Isiooga .16 ..A Deilijnsbi ed bios doiw noidamolni ya 92012lb Jon bib atbai .aniffo w BEC e affion amicinos insupabifT nolentarios on 200 U.S. DEPT OF JUSTICE to go to 183 of bonnet b 06: (e) Taer og MAL en pay ship bindenb RECEIVED-GALE MALO [page 53] OPTIONAL FORM NO. 10 MAY TH EDITION GSA GEN.

PEYERL FLYING SARCERS INFORMATION CONCERNING # Memorandum (cont.) A review of the Miami indices revealed information reflecting subject appeared at the Miami Office on July 24, 1959, and volunteered to return to Austria as an intelligence agent. His expressed motivation was to do something to repay the debt he felt he owed the United States. He was afforded the Washington, D. C. Headquarters address of the Central Intelligence Agency and told his inquiry should be directed there. Also, on July 4, 1961, he appeared at the Miami Office and gave an incoherent story of recently meeting an individual who asked him to kill his mother. PEYERL appeared to be somewhat bewildered and continuously gazed away from the interviewing Agent. During his most recent visit to the Miami Office, PEYERL seemed genuinely concerned about the existence of the object he allegedly photographed during November, 1944. He exhibited no emotional nor mental disorder and appeared to be rational. In view of recent publicity afforded UFO sightings, some apparently by responsible sources, this information is submitted to the Bureau for consideration of transmittal to the U. S. Air Force.

Sometime during 1943, he graduated from the German Air Academy and was assigned as a member of the Luftwaffe on the Russian Front. Near the end of 1944, he was released from this duty and was assigned as a test pilot to a top secret project in the Black Forest of Austria. During this period he observed the aircraft described above. It was saucer shaped, about twenty-one feet in diameter, radio controlled, and mounted several jet engines around the exterior portion of the craft. He further described the exterior portion as revolving around the dome in the center which remained stationary. It was PEYERL's responsibility to photograph the object while in flight. He asserted he was able to retain a negative of a photograph he made at 7,000 meters (20,000 feet). A Xerox copy of the negative, as furnished by PEYERL, appears on the last page of this communication. Also, a still photograph he allegedly made "at the risk of my life", illustrating the object parked in a hanger, appears on the last page. [page 64] ## RE: PAUL L. PEYERL INFORMATION CONCERNING in Vienna, Austria, sometime during late 1943 or early 1944. PEYERL also assumed the secrets pertaining to this aircraft were captured by Allied Forces. He said this type of aircraft was responsible for the downing of at least one American B-26 airplane. He furnished the following fuel and engine data: "....Fuel mixture of N2H40 in Methyl Alcohol (CH3OH) rather than 'oxygen-holding' mixture of hydrogen peroxide H202 in water. 7m 1,3m high two rocket motors; smooth flow, rotary drive over 2,000 meters per second...." PEYERL said he copied this data from a board located in the hanger area. # FEDERAL BUREAU OF INVESTIGATION (cont.) ## RE: PAUL L. PEYERL INFORMATION CONCERNING (cont.) 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).

GEORGE ADAMSKI. Mr. Adamski launched the IGAP International Get Acquainted Program in 1959, based on the philosophy. that people in all parts of the world should be given. the opportunity of knowing what is going on everywhere in the field of flying saucers. His hope was that as many as possible would discover the truth of the 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. # Cosmic (cont.) ## Purpose and scope (cont.) 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 life, official and unoffi- cial, all over the world, have been contacted by people from other worlds; such contacts have been kept secret so far. 4. The philosophy brought to the world by Mr. Geo- rge Adamski is considered and aid helping to un- cover the truth of our origin and our future destiny. # Cosmic (cont.) ## Purpose and scope (cont.) 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. # Cosmic (cont.) ## Purpose and scope (cont.)

Do they just fade out and vanish or do they keep travelling through space for ever, perhaps to be picked up by creatures on other planets? Fantastic but scientists think it is pos- sible. After all, we here in Britain were able to watch the Olympic Games in Japan via a satellite in outer space. # Cosmic (cont.) ## Dear Mr. Steckling: (cont.) >> Some scientists even think that weird cracklings and gibberish that occasionally come in on radio and TV programmes are really pirate programmes from other planets. And it is true that scientific listening posts have taped some mighty odd sounds from space which could come from some sort of intel- ligence, somewhere in the Universe. »Back in September, 1953, viewers all over Eng- land were amazed when their screens suddenly carried the identification card and call letters of television station KLEE, in Houston, Texas. A freak. occurrence? that's what the experts thought until radio engineers tried to contact KLEE, thou- sands of miles away across the Atlantic. >>Station KLEE«<, they were told, »has been off the air for all of three years, and since that time no KLEE identification card has been shown«. Where had that phantom picture been for three years? Why did it appear in England? And how did it get back. from wherever it had been. Nobody knows. So if, tonight, you should see an unidentified object on your screen - - -« # Cosmic (cont.) ## Dear Mr. Steckling: (cont.) To Ufologists, the idea of watching a blank tele- vision screen for such phenomena is not so far-out. in fact, it might prove an interesting experiment for those of us who believe such things are pos- sible. Coupled with a telepathic request to our space friends, it might even produce results! That the idea has some scientific backing is shown by a recent article which appeared in the »Ottawa Journal" viz: # Cosmic (cont.) ## »,,Live TV Coming from Outer Space?<< Salt Lake City (AP) A distinguished British astro- nomer, Dr. Fred Hoyle, speaks of the possibility of live TV from outer space. And by >>live<< he means people outer space people, people who I may live on planets like ours on the other side of the Milky Way. Hoyle thinks it's highly probable that such planets and people do exist. So do a lot of other scientists. »They think some of the radio waves hitting the earth right now contain messages from those people and there is some scientific effort under way to decipher these messages, to tune into those radio waves, waves which would also transmit pictures. »What could we see and hear on this »celestial<< television? Hoyle, in his new book, »Of Men and Galaxies (University of Washington Press), says some of these outer space civilizations have evolved further than we and would therefore be able to tell us, for example, how to avoid a nuclear war<<. # Cosmic (cont.) ## The Space Brothers Keep Their Word. As predicted by the Space Brothers in earlier issues of Topside, they are keeping their promise. to make themselves seen more and more by the people of Earth. From the increased number of reports of sightings and landings of UFOs all over the world, there can be little doubt that our space. friends are now making an all-out effort to awaken us to their reality, and it is becoming daily more obvious that they are prepared to use every peace- ful means within their considerable power to achieve their mission of goodwill. Their purpose appears to be two-fold: (1) To prevent a nuclear holocaust which may not only destroy Planet Earth but also produce dire results on the entire Solar System and perhaps even further afield in Outer Space; and (2) To enlighten their more backward Earth Brothers as to the urgent necessity of widening their horizons to encompass knowledge and practice of Cosmic Brotherhood, and the realization that they have moral obligations not only to their own kind but to civilizations on other planets who may have to suffer for Earth's irresponsible actions. # Cosmic (cont.) ## The Space Brothers Keep Their Word.

"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 small section of that vociferous but often influential Press opinion which always swallows before it chews. # Cosmic (cont.) ## EDITORIAL... (cont.) 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. The vociferous Press opinion in this instance was of the Catholic People's Party newspaper, "Die Volkskrant". # Cosmic (cont.) ## EDITORIAL... (cont.) 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 II 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. Lacking the meat of the occasion on which to feast their readers they gave them the bones and the offal, and in the process they soiled and besmirched their own honourable profession. The second audience was spared this treatment, and still is. And so we can perceive how some of George Adamski's meetings with the famous received the full blast of publicity, whilst others, conducted in a secret undercurrent of diplomacy peopled with silent. couriers and intercontinental briefings, are still, very. much, "classified". # Cosmic (cont.) ## EDITORIAL... (cont.) Adamski 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 credulous. This is shown by the fact that his books became world best-sellers in many languages. Yet in 12 years he only offered TWO AND A HALF BOOKS to the general public. Does this seem like a man who is "on the make?" No. Instead he pushed and shoved his way into the, many times, inhospitable climate of "expert" analysis and clinical 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? His tremendous sense of humour? YES! His many thousands of friends and supporters the world over? YES, THESE ALSO! # Cosmic (cont.) ## EDITORIAL... (cont.) But his faith in a DIVINE INTELLIGENCE and sure. knowledge of the existence and the helpful presence friends from other planets in space, were the Rod of good, spiritually- and physically-healthy human and the Staff on which he leaned, until he died. G.A.'s "end" was but a beginning. And when he "graduated" others took over. He knew, in those last few months, that it wouldn't be long. Already he knew those who were going to carry on his work. And the Brothers and the Sisters, those friends from across the seas of space, were busy in their task of forging new links, reshaping the pattern of their contacts with those close to Adamski. AS WITH GEORGE ADAMSKI, the Brothers 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 continued interest in our wel- fare. # Cosmic (cont.) ## EDITORIAL... (cont.) Here, in this issue of UFO CONTACT, you will see more photographic presentation of "Unidentified Flying Objects". In some strange fashion, by some peculiar "co-incidence", another of G.A.'s close associates is enabled to take startling movie-film shots of objects in the sky. With this new evidence. we shall show, too, how Adamski's successors are STILL pushing the experts, STILL offering for exam- ination photographic proof of "inexplicable phenom- ena" in the skies above us. There are always those who are ready to jeer and deride. This is a peculiar facet of the human 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". [page 81] 114 ufo contact Once before, a gracious lady was willing, against much advice, to listen to the sincere words of a man who was still to battle for many years to come for the truth which he propounded. We ask again for that First Lady's gracious attention to certain matters which we believe, as in years gone by, will be of interest to her, also today. Our Open Letter we respectfully address to - Her Majesty, Queen Juliana of the Netherlands. ## An open Letter # Cosmic (cont.) ## An open Letter (cont.) | SOESTDIJK PALACE, | | |-|-| | SOESTDIJK, | | | HOLLAND. | JUNE 1967. | | To Her Majesty, Queen Juliana. | | | Your Majesty, | | We venture to approach you on a matter which we believe will be of some interest to you, the subject. being one of immense importance, bearing as it does implications of a nature which might well affect in the future every aspect of human endeavour on this Earth. The subject of which we speak has once before been brought to Your Majesty's attention, and, we understand, received careful consideration; in fact, it is in the belief that Your Majesty has shown more than usual interest that we make this approach to- day. May we, with respect, ask you to cast your mind. back 8 years. In May of 1959, Your Majesty was pleased to request the presence of Mr. George Adamski, of California, at Soestdijk Palace. Mr. Adamski was at that time on a world lecture-tour. # Cosmic (cont.) ## An open Letter (cont.) This gentleman had an unusual story to tell. He spoke of visitations to this planet by human beings. from outer space. He spoke of kind human beings. who had travelled in their spaceships, often called. "flying saucers", from their home planets in our solar system, from Venus, from Saturn, Mars and others. Their understanding was far ahead of our own, their sincere interest in our welfare was part of a philosophy of brotherhood and love for all of the Creator's Works. This was George Adamski's story. In 1959, the subject of flying saucers was consid- ered by the majority to be laughable. Any attempt to discuss the possibility of beings technologically superior to us, visiting Earth in space craft travelling at fantastic speeds, was to dismiss all the scientific. concepts of the day. Indeed, in 1959, scientists were Madam, the reason for our approach in this Open Letter is this. Having heard from Mr. Adamski first- hand of his experiences, would Your Majesty care once more to hear of the visitations of the Brothers and Sisters who befriended him? They have made themselves known to others; there are courageous # Cosmic (cont.) ## An open Letter (cont.) 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 level of radical but intelligent thought which would have been branded a "heresy" against the whole Establishment just a few years ago. With our own greatly-increased space activity and the near-proximity of an Earthman's landing on the Moon, ideas have had to change along with the immense changes in the means of travel. What modern science has yet to discover, 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. # Cosmic (cont.) ## An open Letter (cont.) What they have not yet learned from the "here- tical" revelations of Galileo is that scientific "fact" of today is not necessarily scientific "fact" of to- morrow; that they, too, these modern scientists, may be called upon and perhaps very soon to change all previous concepts of astronomical physics and to accept that Earth-man is not, after all, alone in the Universe. # Cosmic (cont.) ## An open Letter (cont.) 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-film. These films have been shown widely in the United States and in certain countries in Europe. They have. been viewed by persons in authority, including ex- perts in many fields, as well as by millions of the general public by way of television. The extraterrestrial human beings of whom Mr. Adamski spoke are still operating in the same patt- ern. Several of his helpers have been privileged to meet these people. New colour movies have been taken of their ships, on occasion with the deliberate connivance of the pilots of the craft concerned. An American lady, Mrs. Madeleine Rodeffer, and two Germanborn, naturalised Americans, Mr. and Mrs. Fred Steckling, have been privileged not only to meet these friends from other planets but they have also been enabled to photograph the movement of their craft on colour-film. # Cosmic (cont.) ## An open Letter (cont.) All of these films have been viewed by persons in authority, including photographic experts of the U.S. National Aeronautics and Space Agency, (NASA), and they have yet to be faulted. ufo contact 139 # Cosmic (cont.) ## An open Letter (cont.) 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 fell asleep while watching a late, late movie on television and awoke several hours later to find himself staring at a strange, other-world face on his TV screen! He was so scared, he snapped off the TV set - and sold it the next day! Then there are cases of people hearing messages and celestial music on their tape recorders. Only recently, Fate magazine published a letter received from Myra Dee Hina of Sacramento, California, in which she stated that while attempting to record a new song she had created with the help of numerology, i.e., >>notes forming the vibration of each word«, on a brand- new tape bought at a local store, she proceeded to pick the notes out on an organ and sing them on to the tape. She goes on to say: »I then went to turn off the tape recorder and found it had stop- ped. I reset it and played the notes over again. When returned to the recorder to stop it, some. sort of a force field seemed to appear. I could see it and feel it with my hands. It gave me the same sensation as if I held two repelling magnets. Wondering why such a condition existed, I stood and let the machine run on. When I no longer felt the force field, I ran the tape back to replay. My voice was clear, the notes were clear but I was shocked beyond words when a beautiful orchestra began playing the very theme I had created. it lasted a long period, over 35 minutes. It is possible. that the recorder somehow picked up music out of the air. There was no other instrument in the house, the tape was new and I ran it around 12 o'clock midnight. I've tried to repeat this strange incident. several times, but nothing has happened. In addi- tion to the music on the tape, a voice speaks in a language never heard before. Several persons who have listened to the tape say they have a weird feeling while it is playing«. # Cosmic (cont.) ## An open Letter (cont.) [ ] ## A Warning Via Ham Radio. While, 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 Wilbert B. Smith, during his long and intensive study of the UFO Mystery.. WBS, as most of you know, was first and foremost a scientist, and he never accepted anything without careful checks and cross-checks and only by this method was he 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 Wilbert Smith, on an unidentified waveband, were complete- ly unintelligible to him although they made a lot of sense to WBS. # Cosmic (cont.) ## A Warning Via Ham Radio. (cont.) 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 the then Ottawa. Flying Saucer Club were preparing. test out an experimental machine they had built. Just prior to this test, the Boys from Topside broke into the ham radio operator's listening, blanking out all other stations and repeating insistently that they had an urgent message for Wilbert Smith which the operator was to pass on to him without delay and this he did. The message, couched in scientific terms, might be translated into layman's language. as saying that a certain flywheel in the experimental machine would not stand the stress of the r.m.p. about to be placed on it and that it would shatter under the strain; precaution should be taken. Hee- ding this advice, WBS and his co-workers built a protective wooden covering around the machine, after which they set it in motion and, as predicted, the flywheel shattered, embedding the wooden boards with its shrapnel! # Cosmic (cont.) ## Intervention on a Tape Recording. Another strange experience occurred during an exchange of tape recording letters between WBS and another UFO worker in the U.S. At the time, WBBS was in possession of certain scientific data. which the Boys from Topside had asked him to keep confidential for the time being. Inadvertently, WBS, more by implication than direct statement, let slip a few clues to this scientific problem in tape-letter to his colleague. A week or so later, he received the tape back from his friend, with a message asking if he would fill in the blank spaces on the tape. Puzzled, WBS examinod the tape care- fully and played it over, only to discover that in the places where he had let slip the teil-tale clues, the sound had been neatly erased and there was a slightly sticky substance on the tape in these areas! The only possible conclusion he could reach was that it was the work of the Boys from Topside. Here then, are two authentic cases of the Space Brothers using our electronic equipment for a speci- fic purpose. [page 82] 138 ufo contact ufo contact 115 photosynthetic process to produce at least simple forms. forms. "The significance of my findings, if correct", Dr. Johnson declared, "is that a case for life chemistry in space can not only be inferred but the end 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. # Cosmic (cont.) ## 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. # Cosmic (cont.) ## IN MILLIONS. (cont.) 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. 42 billion 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.

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<<. # Cosmic (cont.) ## 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 still who battle against great odds for what they know to be right. We believe that, with Your Majesty's approval, further evidence can be produced for your 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. # Cosmic (cont.) ## by RONALD CASWELL. (cont.) "THEY'LL NEVER GET CLOSE ENOUGH when I've got this in my hand, you know, Ronald", said Fred with some conviction, looking down at the gleaming object he held on his knee. He had a slightly rueful smile on his face. He reminded me of a youngish Bob Hope in looks except that his nose was not so sharp and his face a little more rounded. "It's a power zoom lens, see. It's fully automatic. - They know that if I get them on this, NO-ONE will be able to deny it". We sat near to the open French window of the lounge with the sun streaming in, I on the 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. # Cosmic (cont.) ## by RONALD CASWELL.

May Morlet 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 Morlet, May's elder son, whilst we # Cosmic (cont.) ## by RONALD CASWELL. (cont.) 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 smilingly greeted us, together with Philip, May's younger son, who had been filming the aircraft from the airport roof. We were all old friends. Suzy was to help with extra transport back to Antwerp. We looked at the people who were coming over to the inquiries desk; and the floor 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. # Cosmic (cont.) ## by RONALD CASWELL. (cont.) 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. [page 83] 116 ufo contact ufo contact 137 # Cosmic (cont.) ## by RONALD CASWELL. (cont.) 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 THEIR shoes when people found out what was being kept from them. Did they think the public was blind? Many had seen the planes chasing the saucers. Even children. 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 Linda, her friend, was with her. You know, that young woman who had some sightings. She's written to you, I think. A nice girl. There were two Brothers standing back a bit in the crowd. They weren't with Madeleine. Maybe she knew they were there." He went on talking about some of the Brothers he had met. Ingrid joined in occasionally, her eyes bright and shining. "Oh, Ronald!" she said, in her German-accented American, drawling the words. "If you only could meet them! There is this wonderful feeling of good- ness that seems to reach out to you." # Cosmic (cont.) ## by RONALD CASWELL. (cont.) 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. They spoke quietly, but forcefully at times. Perhaps Fred could not quite shake off this feeling of having to convince someone. all the time. "Ronald," he said, after a rather long, somewhat tired silence. They'd been travelling for many, many hours. "Ronald, do you know, it's just as if they have our frequencies. I had a birthday a while back" Ingrid was about to burst in with wife-like enthusiasm but Fred's voice stopped her. "I had a birthday a while back," Fred went on. "Ingrid and I were wat- ching T.V. I don't remember the show. Suddenly -" and again Ingrid was bursting with agreement, "suddenly 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." # Cosmic (cont.) ## by RONALD CASWELL. (cont.) Patrick swerved among the traffic on a bumpy patch of road. "There over the house was the saucer. It just swayed there, back and forward. Then it seemed to swing down low as the light showed from the porch and then shot off over in the direction of Washing- ton Airport." Ingrid couldn't hold herself any longer. "And do you know, Ronald!" she burst in, "Madeleine had the same thing happen on her birthday! Linda and some more friends were just being seen off from the house and they called out to Madeleine to look. And there was this red, glowing light swaying over the house!" Fred smiled knowingly. "You can bet, they've got our wave-lengths!" he said. As we looked out at May's long lily-pond in the spacious lawn, the big, leafy trees almost 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. # Cosmic (cont.) ## by RONALD CASWELL. (cont.) "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.

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 Virginia, near where he lives. # Cosmic (cont.) ## by RONALD CASWELL. (cont.) The strange thing was that Fred had previously had credit arrangements with the same bank, and had had no bother. Maybe someone had tried to stop his trip to Europe. It had taken several days to clear up the matter. He was speaking first in Antwerp, staying with May for some days, then The Hague, then Frankfurt and Mannheim, then 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 first 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 shall not describe her. Later that night, in fact at 3.30 in the morning, - we had sat talking, all of May's house-guests, until the small hours, as we were to do every night of our visit walked with Hans Petersen around some # Cosmic (cont.) ## by RONALD CASWELL.

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 I give this theory a certain chance, then it still explains only 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 remarkable attitude prevailed within certain scientific circles in regard to that Space. Earth was the navel of the Cosmos, around which and about which everything turned. The moon and the planets and the stars were hung in the sky for Earth's sake, and between all the bodies outside of Earth's atmosphere was this great empty Space, in which was to be found. absolutely nothing. # Cosmic (cont.) ## by RONALD CASWELL. (cont.) But the rockets told another story they had been out there. We can say then, that now it is proven that Space is not empty. Among other things, dust has been registered. And it has become dusty in the space-capsule when the capsule door has stood open. It is proven also, that certain chemical reactions. can, in the course of a few seconds, form solid. matter. (Einstein). this means to say that the same elements or units which make up the "creation" are to be found in invisible form in this so-called empty Space. It "only" needs the right chemical reaction to take place for the whole to take solid form and to build up as planets, comets, meteorites or ice or for that matter, as many other things. As all the planets are born in the same Cosmos, »L. A. Man finds Life in Space<< It is therefore quite plain to see that science can, and must, soon add a new chapter to that book about the "factual" conditions in Space, which it is writing at this time. In this "book" it will be stated that, under certain conditions, solid matter is formed in empty Space as well as much else. matter that can later fall onto this planet or others as "shooting- stars" or as ice from an airplane's toilet. # Cosmic (cont.) ## by RONALD CASWELL. (cont.) And it will be enormously 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 these. bacteria are caught up at some time or another by other heavenly bodies, in the same manner that we collect dust and bacteria from other worlds. In fact, we need not go to all the great amount of trouble that we do, to sterilize the space-ships and probes which are to be sent up; - our bacteria has long been present on our sister planets and many # Cosmic (cont.) ## by RONALD CASWELL. (cont.) other planets, just as "their bacteria" has been a long, long while 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, the next natural step will be to learn how one can come to live without being "infected" by bacteria. We are on the way; but for a while yet we shall be "infected" bacteria, and believe that we can "infect" our sister planets' inhabitants with our bac- teria. For a while yet we shall only find meteorites that originate from planets, comets or asteroids, and ice which falls from the toilet-systems of airplanes. October 1966.

These findings have been reported to a gathering of experts on Astronomy and Biodynamics meeting at the University of California at Berkeley by Dr. Fred Johnson of Electro-Optical Systems in 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 no reason to believe that we this planet are unique", Dr. Johnson told the Herald- Examiner. "There is very good evidence, on the other hand, that there may be similar forms of life. throughout the universe". Dr. Johnson reported that although interstellar dust is very small with each grain having an average density of 10 to 26 grams per cubic centimeter, he speculates that through condensation this dust even- tually forms meteorites which are dense enough to be attracted to a planet.

"Some of my readers will have been way ahead of me in these past assessments and no doubt will have anticipated my next intention. Yet others will be a trifle impatient that the following correlation. should be made. But I must stress, I try very hard. not to be biased, science is far more interesting left as it is. Therefore I am sincere in my next anal- ysis. I trust the reader will be, too. I have purposely chosen the following title for the evidence which I hope may help shed some truer light on one who may be a very maligned man." UNQUOTE. Yes, the "very maligned man" is George Adamski. 12 years ago Leonard G. Cramp produced the orthographic projections which showed how young Stephen Darbishire's "Coniston" saucer, as photo- graphed, was identical in shape and proportion to Adamski's classic "scout-craft". # Cosmic (cont.) ## SIMPLE PLANTS. (cont.) Today, in his book "Piece For A Jig-saw", Mr. Cramp produces startling evidence of a highly-tech- nical nature which shows how, following along purely engineering principles as a result of analyses of hundreds of reported saucer-sightings, with accomp- anying detail of manoeuvre and flight patterns, he arrives at the ideal form, in all respects, for a visit- ing "saucer". The saucer he finally produces, after progressive line-drawings and photographs by the score, is the Adamski scout-craft. In his concluding chapter, not only does the author quote details of engineering data provided by Adam- ski in his controversial books, but Mr. Cramp con- fesses that, until the time of writing this last chapter, he had not yet read completely Adamski's "Inside The Space Ships"! Realising perhaps certain read- ers' scepticism about this belated admission, Mr. Cramp goes on to describe points outlined in that book concerning Adamski's alleged trips in the scout-craft, whereby his (Cramp's) own scientifically arrived-at data receives startling corroboration! # Cosmic (cont.) ## SIMPLE PLANTS. (cont.) "At this juncture I can almost hear many an Adam- ski sceptic breathing a sigh of incredulity, hardly able to believe that I should dare to include such material in a semi-technical work of this nature." Unquote. With many detailed international sighting reports analysed scientifically, with his own photographed experiments showing the intensive study he has made of all aspects of "saucer" manoeuvres and flight, and accompanied by scores of finely-executed line-draw- ings, Leonard Cramp provides food for thought for all those of an open mind. Here, biased or un-biased as we may seem, we I would like to recommend to other biased and unb- iased UFO researchers one of the best flying saucer contributions since "Inside The Space Ships"! That the author is not biased can be witnessed by the 360 pages of this book which are not about George Adamski. In expressing the hope that certain UFOlogist # Cosmic (cont.) ## SIMPLE PLANTS. (cont.) sceptics will not now refrain from purchasing and reading this excellent book, we would like to conc- lude with an excerpt from the summing-up by Leo- nard G. Cramp himself. "Out of the confusion and the shadow surrounding this most enigmatic of flying saucer contact stories, emerges one or two, but nevertheless very important facts. (a) Adamski type saucers are not uncommon among UFO reports. (b) On purely engineering grounds the configurat- ion of the "scout ship" offers the best all- round compromise which could embody the functions required by the gravitational propul- sion theory. (c) Adamski's description of inside a saucer is not inconsistent with the theory, on the cont- rary, theory seems to support it. (d) Thus on these grounds alone I for one feel inclined to accept the first part of his exper- ience as fact, and in my opinion any incons- istencies which appear in his subsequent claims are insufficient to invalidate the prev- ious conclusions."

WE ALL KNOW of accounts of objects which, during the past couple of hundred years, have been reported as falling down from the sky, and, often enough, from a clear, cloudless sky. Scientists and other experts have sought to ex- plain such "falls" as meteorites, meteors, or now- adays as something in connection with flying, ato- mic tests or the like. In the book "Le Matin des Magiciens", by the Frenchmen, Louis Pauwels and Jacques Bergier, vol- ume One gives reference to 40,000 notations of falls of such extraordinary things. If we concern ourselves solely with two groups of objects meteorites and ice then we find ourselves. in an area where science and various other expert. sources are quite positive in their conclusions. Meteoric stones originate from comets and planets. which have disintegrated, or from larger or smaller asteroids. The ice comes from airplanes either formed outwardly or from the toilet. # Cosmic (cont.) ## by MAJOR H. C. PETERSEN. (cont.) quiet, deserted, leafy avenues near to May's house.

His swamp-gas explanations are nonsense, we were told. "But despite the evidence of the 3 films they still would like to have more positive proof, we were told, for it still does not prove these ships to be extra- terrestrial, as one official put it.

Here is a book about "flying saucers" which can be of immense interest to both the »converted" and to the "open-minded", to the lay-person looking for more corroboration to back up his beliefs in the reality of visiting space-ships, and to the technically- minded man who may well be rather surprised at the wealth of detail of a highly technical nature included in this work. Leonard Cramp, who for many years has worked in both aerodynamics and, more recently, with the new design principles of the Hovercraft, has succ- eeded in writing a book understood, by any person of normal intelligence who can read the English language. "Piece For A Jig-saw" does, in truth, offer a piece puzzle which has undulated and returned along 180 - a very large piece of that enigmatic jig-saw - a very large piece of that enigmatic jig-saw degrees through head-lines of the world's press for the past 20 years. Cramp himself has worked on material for this book for over half that time. It is 12 years since he submitted to the public "Space, Gravity and the Flying Saucer"; this book is a natural and elevating follow-up. # Cosmic (cont.) ## >>Piece for a jig-saw<< (cont.) Written in a style which is as open and as lacking in pomposity as the author himself, one finds a patt- ern developing from each chapter to the next, as he takes us from his brief but concise "background material" of orthodox aerodynamics, curves into a high trajectory through the experimental X-15 and the family of rockets, and into the deep blue. One is almost shocked to find with what ease Cramp. brings us down not in a capsule supported by great billowing parachutes, but gently landing in a field, any field, ready for instant take-off to a far-off hovering mother-ship. A friend is a person who knows all about you and still likes you. Elbert Hubbard. At least, the mother-ship is there by implication, because Mr. Cramp, as he says, having "set myself the task of discovering the truth as an engineer", arrives, after a volume full of investigation and ex- perimentation, at the last chapter which is entitled: "Vindication Of A Scout Ship." The last paragraph of the second from last chapter might well sum up a very large part of the UFO story. It also sums up the author, a man who succ- eeded in forming a large group of UFO enthusiasts from a very hard core of technology, men who know [page 86] 134 ufo contact ufo contact 119 ities of the dark shape behind them. There was a tiny white light behind which did not seem to be att- ached to the object in any way; but as the night was very dark, she admits that this could also have been a star. The colored lights were not blinking, and the object seemed not to move, although she of course was moving towards it in her car. She described the object (which, she admits, she saw very indistinctly in the almost complete darkness), as a black wing- like thing which made no noise. Then she suddenly thought "Surely it can't be a plane, this low. Per- haps it is a flying saucer". The size of the 2 colored lights was small, about the size of ordinary car blinker-lights. If the witness had stopped to investig- ate, this could have been a most important sighting. Unfortunately, she preferred to continue on her way, and thus lost a great opportunity. # Cosmic (cont.) ## >>Piece for a jig-saw<< (cont.)

It is also well-known to researchers that other types. of UFO's do not affect electrical installation: on the other hand, it is possible that all UFO's may have the ability to affect such installations, or to refrain from doing so, at will.

Second, you are invited to look again at the picture which is painted for you in these sequences of events. GEORGE ADAMSKI took his story and his films to ANYONE including authority and was prepared to face all criticism and expert analysis. MADELEINE RODEFFER was enabled to take close- up shots of a flying saucer over her garden. This was arranged with the Brothers, and she was expect- ing them. She has shown this film, with G.A.'s, on nation-wide net-works, she has faced the officials on Capitol Hill. She has met the Brothers. FRED STECKLING has taken a unique movie-film which has impressed NASA's photographic experts and the men at the Pentagon. He has met the Brothers. Can it be CO-INCIDENCE all the time? Can they FAKE unique and impressive evidence ALL THE TIME? At this point I might add that whilst George Adam- ski was on his 1959 world-tour, many separate witn- esses in Australia and New Zealand reported activit- ies and formations of saucers over some of the very cities and towns where G.A. lectured.

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. # Cosmic (cont.) ## 29 sight UFO's over White Sands Range (cont.) Information officers at Holloman AFB and WSMR were contacted by Clark and he was told the Flight Safety Office at Kirtland AFB at Albuquerque, N.M., would handle the investigation. Kirtland would make no comment 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 would be released except through the Public Information Office under the Secretary of the Air Force. Neither WSMR nor Holloman AFB personnel has any authority in the case. Clark said eyewitnesses, when they could be ident- ified, would not allow use of their names because 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 # Cosmic (cont.) ## 29 sight UFO's over White Sands Range (cont.) took a few minutes to transfer from Army to Air Force communications, the pilots were notified of the UFOs. They circled around, but none of the pilots was able to see anything unusual. Missile firings at WSMR were checked. There were none at this time. There was little cloud cover during the half hour involved and, at this time of day, it would be impossible to see a meteor. The objects were moving much faster than a balloon. One WSMR individual said the UFOs were tracked on radar. There is no accurate estimate of the number of objects spotted. There may have been one may have been more.

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).

A belief in a continued spiritual life after the comparitively short time of 70 years of physical life here on Earth, compared with the endless cycle of eternity, makes the actions of the moment an investment with far- reaching consequences. The certainty that Man can choose between good and evil should lead him nearer to his Creator. Fur- ther, it should lead to an understanding that Man's life here and later, is more likely to depend on his relation to the spiritual than to the scientific. Our decisions now will unavoidably determine fut- ure actions. Nature around us will hold more unsolv- ed than solved mysteries. But science has won itself sufficient power that it can open up a Golden Age for Mankind, providing this power is used for good or destroy it, if the power is used negatively.

Soviet radar screens have detected unidentified. flying objects (UFOs) for 20 years, he says. But Soviet scientists, like their colleagues in the West, are still puzzled about what such UFOs really The scientist, identified only as F. Zigel, was writ- ing in the current issue of the illustrated Soviet youth magazine Cmena. He offered five possible explanations for UFOs, including visitors from outer space. He called this alternative "extremely speculative." "But," he added, "as the UFO problem has not yet been solved, different explanations, including extremes, are possible.". The article took the lid off a subject rarely disc- ussed in the press here. In the 1950s the Soviet press scoffed at American reports of flying saucers as just so much cold war propaganda. By those Soviet accounts, the Americans tried to explain away the "saucers" as some sort of new, secret Soviet weapon. # Cosmic (cont.) ## Soviet radar spots UFOs (cont.) Reports of flying saucers sighted in the Soviet Union, in the Caucasus and in Central Asia, also were ridiculed here. Then for several years the Soviet press remained silent on the whole question; the Cmena article show- ed that the UFO issue is being reopened, this time as an object of serious scientific study. Zigel was identified as one of the editors of a book, "Inhabited Cosmos," being prepared for publi- cation here. The book will discuss the possibility of living beings in space and efforts to communicate with them. The chief editor of the book is B. P. Konstantinov, who, as a vice president of the Soviet Academy of Science, is one of this country's most respected scientists. In his magazine article, Zigel said the "Angel Echo," a UFO detected by radar, is constantly obs- erved by scientists at the Central Aerological Obs- ervatory near Moscow. Similar observations, he said, have been made in the United States, Australia, India and Japan. L # Cosmic (cont.) ## Soviet radar spots UFOs (cont.) "The phenomena of the UFO today should be con- sidered global," he added. He rejected the idea that birds, insects or plant seeds could cause such reactions on radar screens. Zigel said there could be no doubt that UFOs exist "but the nature of these objects is still not understandable today." Then he listed these five possible explanations: # Cosmic (cont.) ## Soviet radar spots UFOs (cont.) 1. NONSENSE or invention. He said there was some untruth here, citing reports of people who claimed to have ridden in flying saucers and others who threw hats in the air and then photographed "saucers". But he rejected this alternative as killing the question rather than solving it. 2. AN OPTICAL illusion related to the distribution of light in the earth's atmosphere, such as a rain- bow. The UFO, he said, is more complicated than that, however. 3. A NEW SECRET flying apparatus of one of the military powers on earth. "No one holds this view now," he said. 4. AN UNKNOWN phenomena of nature, just as radioactivity was unknown until the end of the last century. In this context, ionized particles and charged particles of dust in the atmosphere were given as a possible explanation. But Zigel said, this does not explain the color or maneuverability of UFOs or their appearance in good weather. 5. SPACESHIPS from an advanced civilization on another planet. Zigel said the speed of UFOs supp- orts this theory. So does what he called "the fact" that no UFOs were ever reliably reported to have landed. Zigel called for "an all-sided, thorough, scientific exploration" to clear up the origin of UFOs once and for all. # Cosmic (cont.) ## What Adamski said... 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 claimed to have taken himself. He was a liar, taking money from the credulous with stories of fantasy, saying they were true. Most of these names were given to him by people who would not have had the courage to say it to his face, or within the presence of a lawyer. If Adamski had invoked the law of libel in every case such as this, not one of his detractors could have proven that the name he had used was applicable, and Adamski could have indeed made money from those claims! But Adamski was not that kind of man. He knew the truth, and therefore no-one could harm his integrity. On this integrity all his subsequent actions. rested. Many incidents is his later life were mis-reported, sometimes out of malice, at other times because of expediency, when insufficient detail was at hand. Many were the garbled reports circulated about one very special occasion. Here, below, is WHAT ADAM- SKI SAID about: # Cosmic (cont.) ## 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 Juliana. 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. # Cosmic (cont.) ## The royal audience (cont.) 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 Juliana'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 claimed I told rep- orters of the forthcoming meeting with Queen Juliana were entirely false. One thing is certain: the press was furious. 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 chilly reception. The Catholic People's. Party newspaper De Volkskrant, said, for example: 'We are not opposed to a court jester on the green lawns of the Royal Palace, provided he is not taken for an astronomical philosopher.'" # Cosmic (cont.) ## The royal audience (cont.) Soon after the newspaper De Volkskrant criticized my interview with Queen Juliana, several other Dutch papers followed suit and began to speak in a critical vein. The more dignified papers, however, presented straightforward accounts like the following: "QUEEN JULIANA SEES U.S. WRITER, Hour's Discussion on Space Travel, from our correspondent. THE HAGUE, May 19th. Queen Juliana and the Prince of the Netherlands today received, at Soest- dijk Palace, Mr. George Adamski, the American. author of several books on space travel. The Queen. and Prince Bernhard had a talk lasting about an hour with Mr. Adamski. It is understood that the talk was of a purely informative character. The Queen and Prince Bernhard wanted to become acquainted with Mr. Adamski and his views. # Cosmic (cont.) ## The royal audience (cont.) "Those who were present at the conversation. included Mr. C.

The press reports quoting questions and answers from the interview were falsified, as no reporters were allowed inside the palace during the interview! # Cosmic (cont.) ## The royal audience (cont.) I left London and arrived in Amsterdam on the 15th of May, 1959. Miss Rey d'Aquila and some news- paper reporters were at the airport to meet me. I was still suffering from the cold I had caught in Scotland, so I excused myself and was taken to a small hotel on the outskirts of Amsterdam. The next afternoon I was called to a television. rehearsal for a program that was to be given that evening. This was on May 16th, and I showed my film on the program. The reception by the public of my subject and the film was very good. After the rehearsal, we drove back to the hotel, picked up my luggage and left for The Hague. Miss d'Aquila had arranged transportation by automobile, and I arrived at The Hague about midnight. My hotel was in a quiet residential district, across the street from a beautiful park. The first day was set aside for me to rest. That morning I unpacked my camera and walked through the park to the ocean. Several restful hours were spent strolling around and photographing the local scenery. # Cosmic (cont.) ## The royal audience (cont.) I had been placed in this secluded hotel purposely to avoid the press. When the newsmen could not locate me, they became very irritated. Those in charge of publicity would not say where I was stay- ing, and the manager of the hotel had been given orders not to reveal my presence. For one day and evening I was able to relax. On the morning of May 18th, I had breakfast and readied myself for the visit to Soestdijk Palace near Utrecht. The Palace car was to call for me at about 10.30 a.m. This was an informal meeting, my bus- iness suit was proper attire. I had been carefully coached on the proper etiquette and conduct in the presence of my royal hosts. When the car arrived, I was introduced to the chauffeur who held the door open as entered. To evade the press, we avoided the customary highway to palace. # Cosmic (cont.) ## The royal audience (cont.) We entered the palace garden through a gate opened by guard who saluted smartly as we pass- ed. I noticed the highway in front of the palace was empty as we turned into the grounds. A winding. driveway, bordered by massive shrubs, brought us to the huge entrance. My mind was so taken up in trying to remember all the instructions I had been given that I failed to notice much about the palace. itself, except that it was white. The chauffeur had. spoken very few words as we rode along and had. given me a mind to relieve my throat when I coughed. # Cosmic (cont.) ## The royal audience (cont.) I had been nervous with anticipation, but a feeling of calm and ease came over me as I stood in the presence of the Queen. She and the others present were standing when I entered the room. The Queen's secretary came forward and introduced me Her Majesty, Queen Juliana. In turn, I was presented to Prince Bernhard; Lt. General Schaper, Chief of the Royal Netherlands Air Staff; Professor Jongbloed, of Aerial Medicine; Dr. M. Rooy, Telecommunica- tions; and Mr. Kolff, President of the Royal Nether- lands Society for Aviation. When the Queen acknowledged the introduction, I completely forgot all the instructions and could not remember the formalities that should have been foll- owed. Instead, I acted upon my feelings and was at ease, for here was a feeling of welcome as among. friends. The Queen graciously asked if I drank coffee. When I replied that I did, coffee was served in large cups of beautiful design, while we remained stand- ing. After all had been served, we were asked to be seated. That coffee was the best I had had since leaving America! # Cosmic (cont.) ## The royal audience (cont.) We were at one end of the library, seated in lounge chairs assembled in a horseshoe position. Directly across from me sat the Queen. Next to her. was the Prince, and on my right, next to the Prince, was a gentleman who acted as spokesman for him. As I remember, this gentleman was Mr. Kolff. Seated on my left were the other three gentlemen already. named. The secretary was seated a little apart from the others. # Cosmic (cont.) ## The royal audience (cont.) Small pastries were served, and as we sat enjoy- ing the refreshments and indulging in informal con- versation, I noted that Her Majesty wore a light blue frock. The men were dressed in black suits with white shirts and black ties. Cigarettes were passed. Then the secretary opened the topic for which I had been summoned. She ref- erred to my two books and asked a question regard- ing my trip around the moon. I was aware of having been granted only forty-five minutes, so I made my answers as brief as possible. The astronomer and Air Force chief asked que- stions next, trying to discredit the interplanetary visitors. As I think of it now, perhaps my answer was a little rude in the presence of royalty, for said: "I have known of no major officials of our Air Force, and few astronomers, who have told what they actually know about the visitors from space. It is a known fact that the secret files and confidential reports of the Air Force have never been released to the public, or even to high officers in the govern- ment. I am inclined to believe this applies to all governments." I think Her Majesty knew exactly what I meant, for she gave a tiny smile of acknowledg- ment. # Cosmic (cont.) ## The royal audience (cont.) I pointed out that most of the findings of our Earth satellite had been published in my books at least three years before. Many questions were asked about inhabitants of It was 11.00 a.m. when the car stopped in front of the entrance. A uniformed attendant opened the door, saluted, and escorted me up the broad steps to the palace doors, which were opened by two doormen dressed in royal blue, who also saluted. When I entered, one of these men helped me out of my top coat and muffler; the other escorted me into a large library with high ceiling. pulses come from the animal's glands and its react- ions are wholly automatic. The make-up of an animal allows no room for freedom of choice, searching curiosity or doubt or conflict between impulses and ethical standards. An animal knows nothing of that strange voice called conscience, which tells us what is right and what is wrong. Only Mankind is equipped with the conflicts which arise, because it is created in God's. Image. And only Mankind is equipped with a soul which enables it to master the problems caused by these conflicts. # Cosmic (cont.) ## The royal audience (cont.) Today, thousands of scientists are at work on the most momentous task Mankind has ever faced: an attempt to understand a physical Universe which is unending in time and space, complicated in its detail and impressive in its orderliness, and to understand its origin and how it functions. It is no longer a sufficient explanation of the aims of science to say that it seeks to find the physical laws which govern the Universe and increases Man- kind's control over it, because science's field of endeavour has increased in size. The basic elements of science are collective experiences, observations and the setting of certain goals at which to aim. From these the scientist tries to make a model of time, proportions and cause. When one gains new knowledge the old model is not rejected, it is just altered where the new knowledge points to an alter- ation. By reason of the fact that the scientist is willing to alter his model of the Universe, he shows that he does not demand to know the final truth. His. scientific laws are at most only re-writings of the observations he has made. The laws of science do not control the reality but attempts only to explain it. Therefore the laws can be altered when one attains new knowledge. # Cosmic (cont.) ## NEW AIMS. The tasks which science sets itself are never-end- ing. For truth is no static concept. For every new answer arrived at, a dozen new concepts come into view. Science stands before new frontiers in many fields. of endeavour: the nucleus of the atom becomes more and more enigmatic the origin and composition of the Universe is still shrouded in mystery the inner functions of living organisms still allow of no ex- planation. Science's Golden Age lies ahead of us. The scientist works in an atmosphere where doubt is an accepted fact of life and exaggerated ortho- doxy taboo. Thomas Huxley says of the scientist: "For him scepticism is a first duty and blind faith. an unforgivable sin". A result of scientific progress is that traditions, which are the buttresses of faith, have been swept aside. The sciences and religion. have therefore often collided. And yet it is one of the tragedies of our time that science and religion have become adversaries. Because to achieve a sol- ution of the conflict it has been tempting to adopt a policy of peaceful co-existence, to divide our ex- # Cosmic (cont.) ## NEW AIMS. (cont.) periences into two different areas, to give science control over the one and religion control over the other. Let science explore the physical world, whilst religion takes care of the other, people say. When science has reached its limits, then religion can take over and explain that which allows of no explanation. This is a fateful step to take. To separate the two worlds could only be done if scientists were not Christians and no Christians were scientists. But science and religion do not reign over two separate kingdoms. ## INVISIBLE. It is not possible to build a wall between religion and science. Gradually, as science is enabled to ex- plain some of the mysteries of the Universe it comes into areas which were previously unknown or only accepted on a basis of faith. Every new experience physical or spiritual must fit into a pattern which gives both faith and mean- ing. It is Mankind that explores the Universe, exper- iments, and seeks for the truth. It is not just a detail, it takes part itself in the process of creation. Man- kind itself is the greatest result of the Creation. The fact that more and more of the wonders of Creation are being disclosed is of direct concern to Mankind. # Cosmic (cont.) ## INVISIBLE. (cont.) Science and religion can be compared with two windows in a house, through which we can observe the world around us or our neighbours. (There are other windows to be found in the house: Art, Lite- rature and History). Whatever we may see through the windows of this imaginary house, it must fit in with the model we have of the Universe and our place in it. Where it does not fit, we must alter the model, alter our aim and try to increase our ability to under- stand the Creation. In our modern society it would appear that many people think that the advances made by science have caused such things as religious belief to be- come out-of-place and old-fashioned. They cannot understand why we should "believe" in something, when science can tell us that we "know" so much. The simple answer to this assertion is that we are aware of more of nature's mysteries today than people were before the advent of scientific research. There is absolutely no reason to believe that God. cannot retain His place in our modern times in the same way as before we began to examine His Crea- tion with telescope and ion-accelerators. [page 90] 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 von 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. # Cosmic (cont.) ## Science and God (cont.) 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 is 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. # Cosmic (cont.) ## ENDLESSNESS OF THE UNIVERSE. Manned space-flights are pioneer works. But until now they have only begun to open the door out toward the endlessness of the Universe. That which we can see of the mysteries of the Universe through the crack in that door only 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 further proof of His Greatness. I believe it best if one, through Faith, accepts God as a proof of Goodwill, which throughout history manifests itself more and more as the ability of Mankind to under- stand, grows. # Cosmic (cont.) ## ENDLESSNESS OF THE UNIVERSE. (cont.) A It gives peace of mind to think of God as the Father of all, and the resultant thought, that all men. are brothers, is an ethical guide-line. Scientists only know that in nature nothing is des- troyed without being converted into energy. Not even the tiniest particle can disappear without leaving a trace. Nature knows nothing of annihilation, only change. Would God have had less consideration for His Masterpiece, the Human Soul? For me immortality means a continuation of our spiritual existence after death. Mankind has had a belief in a life after death since the dawn of history. This has been as essential part of the primitive cultures' religions and it has been preserved in higher developed religions and philosophies. The significance of this is of far more importance than the pronouncements of philosophers and theo- logians about what we can expect when we leave this world. From the dawn of time the conception of immortality has had its influence on untold millions. of people. # Cosmic (cont.) ## THE SOUL DIVIDES MANKIND FROM OTHER CREATIONS.

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. What 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 reminded me of the time, I arose and we all shook hands in a very friendly manner. I was deeply impressed with the firm sincere grasp of Her Majesty and the Prince. The spokesman for the Prince escorted me to the car. During the 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. # Cosmic (cont.) ## COSMONAUT VLADIMIR KOMAROV (cont.) As we were leaving the Palace grounds, I noticed a large group of people standing across the high- way and facing the Palace. As the car came through the gate, many of these people gave the familiar. salute. Possibly they only wanted to get a look at the common man who had been granted a private interview with the Queen, and whom the press had described as an "objectionable" visitor. On the fast trip back to the hotel, I noticed crowds of people. along the highway, saluting as we passed. Arriving at the hotel, we found a car waiting to 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. # Cosmic (cont.) ## COSMONAUT VLADIMIR KOMAROV (cont.) 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 filled with curiosity and anticipation in regard to my meeting with Queen Juliana. Reporters especially were insistent that I give them all the details. This I could not do, for the meeting had been on a level of dignity that denied me the privilege of speaking until the Queen spoke first. All I could say was: "The Queen was very kind, and if there were more people like her the world would be a better place to live in." A tremendous burst of applause took place, and from there on the lecture proceeded as normal. # Cosmic (cont.) ## COSMONAUT VLADIMIR KOMAROV (cont.) 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 I over the events of the day. A radio was in my room, and the next morning I tuned it to the BBC since I could not understand the Dutch of local stations. On an early-morning program called The News of Europe, I was very much surprised to hear a report from a Russian sci- entist stating that the moon was not composed of volcanic dust, but rather of granite formations sim- # Cosmic (cont.) ## COSMONAUT VLADIMIR KOMAROV (cont.) ilar to Earth. Many green spots that looked like vegetation had been observed on the other side of the moon. This confirmed some of the things I had told the Queen during our two-hour conference. I was curious to know just how the Russians had gained this information. My friends and I discussed the possibilities later that morning. Was it possible that a Russian had made a trip as I had, or did they receive the information from their moon shot that went into orbit around the sun? (Information received at the time of this writing seems to confirm that they did.) Before the morning was over I was asked if I would accept an interview with Fox Movietone in downtown Hague. I would be called for and taken to the appointed place so I agreed. The selected place was a large hotel in the centre of town. Our car was parked across the street from the building. I was told to walk across the street and enter the hotel. Camera were ready and set for 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. # Cosmic (cont.) ## COSMONAUT VLADIMIR KOMAROV (cont.) 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.". # Cosmic (cont.) ## COSMONAUT VLADIMIR KOMAROV (cont.) 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 this newsreel would be shown all over the world, but I have not 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 film, Death Comes From Outer Space.

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 replied 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 artificial asteroid. The larger the mass of debris, the more attraction it would have for additional particles." This picture alerted me to the possibility that 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. # Cosmic (cont.) ## COSMONAUT VLADIMIR KOMAROV (cont.) Some of these man-made asteroids burn and glow, and could be mistaken for ordinary meteorites. This may also be the answer to some of the fireballs that have been reported. 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? # Cosmic (cont.) ## COSMONAUT VLADIMIR KOMAROV (cont.) By the way of closing this chapter, I would like to reproduce in part a letter concerning the lecture in Amsterdam, sent to co-workers in The Netherlands area. It was written by Miss Rey d'Aquila, dated June 13th, 1959, and reads as follows: "At the end of the lecture in Amsterdam, 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. Quoting him exactly: 'The things that we have heard may sound strange to most of us, if not all, but strange things happen every day, if our eyes are open. I hope that we will be open-minded and benefit from the things we have heard today.' "The audience applauded heartily. (Inside inform- ation: Professor Seelliger is in good relation to the Queen and if we take his mental courage and her interest and deep understanding, we may conclude that after all George Adamski's visit to our country has been a successful one and the stepping stone to a better future.)". # Cosmic (cont.) ## COSMONAUT VLADIMIR KOMAROV (cont.) I wish those imaginative reporters could have been present during my interview with Queen Juliana. They might have learned something of dignity, kindness and gentility, from a great woman who rules her country with wisdom and love.

RELEASED BY ## Intercontinental UFO Observer and Analytic Network, Colman VonKeviczky representative, 33-50 75th Street 1C., Jackson Heights, N.Y. 11372. U.S.A. SUBJECT. The Intercontinental UFO Observer and Analytic Network, representing the globally united scientific UFO research analysts /Press Rel., Jan. 11th, 1967/, have requested U.N. Secretary General U Thant, for invitation of the world leading scientists pioneering in UFO studies, pioneer UFO expert researchers, to the Peaceful Uses of Outer Space Conference, to be held September, 1967 in Vienna; to study first hand the evidence and earthly reconnaissance of uniden- tified power/s/ by UFOs from other celestial bodies. # Cosmic (cont.) ## Intercontinental UFO Observer and Analytic Network, (cont.) Representation should be headed by the nations- wide awarded space and rocket scientist "father of astronautics" Prof. Dr. Hermann Oberth and a world wide documentation should be furnished and exhib- ited by the Intercontinental UFO Network, support- ing the statements of the scientists' representation. Request based on a resolution of the General Ass-1 embly 21st Session /Dec. 19 and 21, 1966/ that the UN is privileged to invite Special Agencies to the Conference related to the subject. Following is the next of the Memorandum address- ed on February 1st, 1967 to His Excellency U Thant, Secretary General of the United Nations: My dear Secretary General - Your Excellency, # Cosmic (cont.) ## Intercontinental UFO Observer and Analytic Network, (cont.) Regarding my interview with the Queen, I will again quote from the report: "But one thing we can say for sure, no press reporters were present. So what the press had further to say about his audience was 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!" The Intercontinental UFO Observer and Analytic Network respectfully request that you, chairman of the Outer Space Affairs Committee, his Excellency, Dr. Kurt Waldheim, Ambassador of Austria to the U.N. and the General Assembly, invite a represent- ation of the world's leading scientists pioneering in UFO studies, expert UFO research pioneers to the Conference on the Peaceful Uses of Outer Space. to be held September, 1967 in Vienna. Our request is in relation to the resolution of the General Ass- embly, 21st Session, which took place on 20 and 22 December, 1966, and whose privilege it is to invite # Cosmic (cont.) ## Intercontinental UFO Observer and Analytic Network, (cont.) [x] [page 92] 128 ufo contact ufo contact 125 # Cosmic (cont.) ## Intercontinental UFO Observer and Analytic Network, (cont.) fantasy, others think that initially it had some meaning. Two centuries ago the mystery attracted the German astronomer, Johan Kepler, while more recently, scientists held an international symposium to discuss the matter. But neither Kepler nor contemporary scientists found the key to the problem, which may turn out to have an altogether unexpected solution. In antiquity and the Middle Ages human 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. # Cosmic (cont.) ## Intercontinental UFO Observer and Analytic Network, (cont.) 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 translation 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" I 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. # Cosmic (cont.) ## Intercontinental UFO Observer and Analytic Network, (cont.) This version of the old story unexpectedly introd- uces 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 MACHINES. 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 # Cosmic (cont.) ## ANGELS IN FLYING MACHINES. (cont.) without an angel's halo. He holds an unseen "control column" and looks behind him as if watching the flight of his fellow-spaceman. Sitting in the space- ship following is another man, who also has nothing in common with the traditional angel and also has one hand on the "controls". Both ships have streamlined bodies. Clearly visible jets in their wake accentuate the impression of speed. "The saints in the flying machines are in the position of pilots", says the magazine. Angels watching the flight cover their eyes and ears with their hands and seem to be backing away for fear of being blinded of deafened. Below, two groups are pictured, every face portraying surprise, fear, or perplexity. The central figure represents the crucified Christ. The fresco depicting the Resurrection of Christ looks just as odd. The Messiah looks as if he is in at 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. # Cosmic (cont.) ## ANGELS IN FLYING MACHINES. (cont.) Monks at Dechany, to whom experts turned for an explanation, replied that apparently the drawings of "ships" are pictures of the Sun and the Moon.. According to New Testament legend, Christ was crucified during a solar eclipse. But why the "sun" is depicted rising in the west the monks could not. say. One of the papers on the Dechany miracle refers to a hypothesis saying that Christ was a man who came down to Earth from space. The magazine. comments that such ideas are "overbold", that the hypothesis, if confirmed, "would basically alter the Biblical story about Christ". The frescoes, it is noted, showing objects obviously resembling sputniks, "baff- le layman and specialist alike." # Cosmic (cont.) ## ANGELS IN FLYING MACHINES. (cont.) 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 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.

The proposed representation should be headed by the world's most highly honored, awarded and res- pected scientist in the field of Space and Rockets. the "father of astronautics" Prof. Dr. Hermann. Oberth. The team of scientists should be completed according to enclosure No. 1. with highly competent scientific UFO researchers whose statements can be screened and verified on the basis of various documentation media in possession of our world-wide analytic network, such as; existing records of the UFO observers, embracing continental documentation by historical background, statistics, photographs, motion pictures, and other documentations exhibited and witnessed by originators, about the UFOs and their global reconnaissance activities. As a former international civil servant on your staff, and founder of the Intercontinental UFO Net- work, supporting our request, may I call your 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. # Cosmic (cont.) ## ANGELS IN FLYING MACHINES. (cont.) 1) The PROJECT UN-UFO, the organization scheme of an international analytic team within your staff, to keep under control the UFO global surveillance, and its 135 documentation, has been objected to by the government of the United States of America as "nonsense" . . . but in spite of this, the same 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. # Cosmic (cont.) ## ANGELS IN FLYING MACHINES. (cont.) 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. The 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. I.III.V.IX. b. establishment of international responsibility for damages by exploring nations in articles No. VI. and VII. c. astronauts to be considered envoys of the UN., expressed as "envoys of mankind" in articles No. V. d. not prohibited of high explosive weapons in manned space crafts for self defense in outer space and celestial bodies, in article No. VI. all "phenomena" observed in space and cel- estial bodies to be reported to the Secretary General in article No. V. is exactly an "unex- plained UFO Article" from article No. V. # Cosmic (cont.) ## ANGELS IN FLYING MACHINES. (cont.) The enclosure No. 2. clearly shows, that these articles were not proposed in the original issues of the "Treaty Draft' by the United States filed 24. hours before, while the USSR filed 20 days after my Space Security Pact proposal, which had been filed and issued to all the UN Missions on June 27, 1966. See the enclosed letter to the Perm. Mission of Italy to the UN. /Enclosure No. 2./ (Enclosures No's 2 and 3 are not included as we have dealt at length with these items in previous issues of UFO CONTACT Ed.) In the enclosure No. 3 you will find the 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. # Cosmic (cont.) ## ANGELS IN FLYING MACHINES. (cont.) 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.

Here is Part One, of- ## Visitors from outer space by Vyacheslav Zaitsev. # Cosmic (cont.) ## Visitors from outer space (cont.) Expanding knowledge about the Universe usually means more puzzles than discoveries. As man un- ravels each new mystery, he is assailed by fresh doubts and torments, for he has caught a glimpse of another mystery lying ahead. For the explorer - in any field it is probably this yet undiscovered territory vaguely seen in the distance that sparks the search for knowledge. A report by a Chinese archaeologist startled the world when it was published in 1965, for he had out of old bits of knowledge pieced together an amazing. theory of space-ships on a visit to the earth 12,000 years ago. The German magazine, "Das Vegetarische Universum", wrote of his research: "For a quarter of a century archaeologists 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." # Cosmic (cont.) ## Visitors from outer space (cont.) Archaeologists and decipherers of ancient writing racked their brains trying to solve the secret of the spirals. The result of the research by the Chinese archaeologist was so shattering that the Peking 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. 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 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 11 # Cosmic (cont.) ## Visitors from outer space (cont.) 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 felt a revulsion for the visitors, whose enormous heads and extremely thin, weak bodies made them look ugly, and "some people on fast horses" beat them. # Cosmic (cont.) ## Visitors from outer space (cont.) 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. # Cosmic (cont.) ## 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 French expedition led by Henri Lotte, who later wrote The Search for the Frescoes of Tassili. In addition to pictures of animals and hunting scenes, the frescoes depict strange figures dressed in what looks like spacesuits and spherical helmets. The helmets are definitely attached to the suits, which evoke no associations with ritual headdress or hunt- ing gear. Nor is there any association with the hunt- ers who, as some scholars assume, used ostrich egg- shells for helmets. Lotte called the enigmatic figures Martians. Describing the ancient drawings on the cave walls the French explorer says that one of them depicts "a man appearing from an egg-shaped object cov- ered with concentric circles. The object resembles an egg, or possibly a snail." # Cosmic (cont.) ## CELESTIAL EGGS. (cont.) So the Peruvian legend and the Tassili frescoes seem to have much in common. But the parallel does not end there. At a later date, in yet another part of the world, the same subject was treated by ancient Greek sculptors, certain of whom portrayed Castor and Pollux of Dioscuria, as well as Helen and 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 leaves the door open for what must seem a fantastic assumption: that the legend of the celestial eggs, like any other myth or legend, could have originated from bonafide impressions of an actual event. An ancient man may once have seen a container with a human being in it descend from the sky, and imagined that the visitor was emerging from a celestial egg. # Cosmic (cont.) ## "VISITING CARDS" OF SPACE TRAVELLERS. During excavations at different times in Japan archaeologists found figurines (dogu) depicting a kind of human or anthropoid in odd-looking "space suits" and with helmets wholly covering their heads. On the helmets were visible marks of something like slit-type glasses, breath-filters, antennae, hearing aids and even nightsight devices. Reviewing the latest Soviet space achievements, the German magazine Freie Welt in issue No. 12, 1966, printed a selection of rock drawings and phot- ographs of dogu under the humorous title, "Visiting Cards?", declaring that such drawings and figurines might be construed as proof that the Earth was once visited by space beings. Many similar rock pictures have been discovered throughout the world. There are pictures of space- men on cave walls in the Val Comonique, the Swiss Alps, in Australia, close to Fergana and near the city of Navoi, in Soviet Central Asia. Puzzles that may have started with a space visit are contained in legends and myths. Legends of Au- stralia, the Near East, South and Central America. and the Far East all tell of the descent of gods from the sky. They offer food for thought.

The organization is not interested in the alleged psychic, occult, mystical, or religious aspects of UFO phenomena. 2. NICAP subcommittees, of which there are 30 in the United States, are composed of qualified individuals in technical or investigative fields, who are selected and appointed by the Washington office. 3. NICAP is currently working closely with the Colorado Project, a comprehensive study of UFO's begun in November 1966, by a group of distinguished scientists at the University of Colorado under a U. S.

Dear Mr, Hoover: Flying Saucers See 149-2988-62 December 7, 1963, I observed in the sky at Moorestown, New Jersey, an unusual object and its unusual behavior. On December 8, 1963, just 24 hours later at Elkton, Maryland, the Pan American Aircraft with 73 passengers and a crew of eight perished when this aircraft exploded in mid air and crashed. I sent a tape recording of the observation I had made on December 7, to Mr. J. Edgar Hoover and associated this object with the crash of this plane. Mr. Hoover informed me that the Civil Aeronautics Board was investigating this disaster and what I had sent to him would be forwarded to them, the C.A.B. In the month of March, 1965, the C.A.B., released a report that this accident and cause was due to a lightning strike. I protested to Senator Case of New Jersey. Senator Case mailed me the official report by the C.A.B., along with a letter by a Mr. John Dregge, Director Community and Congressional Relations. [page 128] [x] evo 30 XLE 2100 83-JER 69.12 69.

However, these alloys could not be identified since the chemical composition of the deposits did not conform to any alloy used in the airplane. The long axis of the deposits varied from 18 degrees inboard to 4 degrees outboard.) On July 18, 1964, I made another observation, the details of which I sent to Harvard College Observatory, Cambridge, Mass. (This sighting was Astronomical not a man made object), a copy of their return letter is enclosed. # Page 8 line 20 to line 25 inclusive reads as follows: (cont.) Somehow both of these observations had something in common, the color. I proceeded to experiment and have arrived at the following conclusions, after several hundred experiments had taken place. I have bought books on Astronomy and also books on Flying Saucers. I know that this object was not astronomical in any way nor was it a Flying Saucer. This object was a cleverly design missle camouflaged to appear as a Meteor or as a Flying Saucer. However, this missle failed to operate as planned that is how I was able to see the complete details of the color and also the design, which I furnished to the government. I also know why this design was used and also why the colors were arranged as they were. My experiments proved this. Thru my experiments I have been able to determine the following: 1. Where they get the tremendous speed from. 2. The wobbling effect they have on occasion. 3. Appearing to oscillate about their vertical axis. 4. Why they make no noise, condensation, or exhaust. 5. Whoshing and wheezing, humming noise on occasions. 6. Different colors they have. 7. Pulsating light.-Luminous appearance. 8. Different forms and shape. # Page 8 line 20 to line 25 inclusive reads as follows: (cont.) These objects are constantly being sent over both the North and South Americas by Russia. Anyone seeing these objects are instantly responsive as to a flying saucer. Subjected to ridicule if this be mentioned to any one, and/or reported to the authorities. [page 130] Russia is well aware of this fact and has capitalized upon this fact. They have in this way been able to penetrate our Radar System undetected. To conclude? The present situation can be blamed upon the various governmental agencies who in the past have scoffed at and ridiculed people who have reported these sightings. Now we are about to pay with 60,000,000 American lives or more. "Some price". Our one hope is that Russia and China will go to war against one another. This then will give us time to created an effective and efficient Radar system that cannot be penetrated.

[page 131] Adoo PARK # 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 "bolide". Almost all very bright meteors are small bodies moving in orbits rather like the orbits of asteroids, and probably are fragments of asteroids. The direction of motion of your meteor is consistent with that sort of orbit. A good many bright meteors strike the earth each day, but most go unnoticed. We have received another report of the same meteor from Wilmington, Delaware. I am sending your observation to the Moonwatch Division of the Smithsonian Astrophysical Observatory here in Cambridge, which has a continuing program for analysis of visual observations of bright meteors. Since it is very rarely possible for the professional astronomer to observe these meteors, most of what is known about them depends on this sort of lucky chance.

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 disturbing almost macabre phone calls, silenced several investigators who were supposed to have learned some dark secret about extraterrestial craft or mission plans and opened mail, tapped telephones and even taken pictures of several homes where UFO witnesses lived. pd [page 141] May 14, 1969 Rt.12 Box 206 Del City, Okla. 73115 Federal Bureau of Investigation Penn.

Halty, Intelligence Division received a call via Command Center telephone from a Major Horn, NMCC (National Military Command Center). Major Horn asked for any informa- tion the FBI might have concerning a report that an unidentified object which fell from the sky at Milwaukee, Wisconsin, had been recovered by local police and turned over to the Milwaukee Office of the FBI. No information available at Intelligence Division. Night Duty Supervisor Harry E. Morris, Jr., called SPC Robert Koller, Milwaukee Office, who advised an unidentified object had been recovered by Milwaukee police at about 5:55 p.m., 8/21/74, but that it was still in possession of police. He said a Captain Wills of the Milwaukee Police Department had called the Milwaukee FBI Office to report the recovery. Very little was known about the object which was described as about 13 x 8 x 5 inches, metallic in substance and color, jagged on one side and had an "internal heat source." Police notified military locally. t # 1 Mr. W. R. Wannall (cont.)

UFO-related Materials 2 [page 177] 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. # DEPARTMENT OF THE AIR FORCE (cont.) ## 2 Atchs (cont.) The decision to discontinue UFO investigations was based on an evaluation of a report prepared by the University of Colorado entitled, "Scientific Study of Unidentified Flying Objects;" a review of the University of Colorado's report by the National Academy of Sciences; past UFO studies; and Air Force experience investigating UFO reports during the past two decades. As a result of these investigations and studies, and experience gained from investigating UFO reports since 1948, the conclusions of Project Blue Book are: (1) no UFO reported, investigated, and evaluated by the Air Force has ever given any indication of threat to our national security; (2) there has been no evidence submitted to or discovered by the Air Force that sightings categorized as "unidentified" represent technological developments or principles beyond the range of present day scientific knowledge; and (3) there has been no evidence indicating that sightings categorized as "unidentified" are extraterrestrial vehicles. # TOTAL UFO SIGHTINGS, 1947 - 1969 | YEAR | TOTAL SIGHTINGS | UNIDENTIFIED | |-|-|-| | 1947 | 122 | 12 | | 1948 | 156 | 7 | | 1949 | 186 | 22 | | 1950 | 210 | 27 | | 1951 | 169 | 22 | | 1952 | 1,501 | 303 | | 1953 | 509 | 42 | | 1954 | 487 | 46 | | 1955 | 545 | 24 | | 1956 | 670 | 14 | | 1957 | 1,006 | 14 | | 1958<br />1959 | 627<br />390 | 10<br />12 | | 1960 | 557 | 14 | | 1961 | 591 | 13 | | 1962 | 474 | 15 | | 1963<br />1964 | 399<br />562 | 14<br />19 | | 1965 | 887 | 16 | | 1966<br />1967 | 1,112<br />937 | 32 962931<br />19 | | 1968 | 375 | | | 1969 | 146 | | | TOTAL | 12,618 | 701 | [page 179] # UFO MATERIALS Scientific Study of Unidentified Flying Objects.

He advised that Jody Powell of the President's staff has raised the question as to whether or not there is any coordination within the Executive Branch relating to information concerning this subject. He stated that the U.S. Air Force had closed their investigation of these matters several years ago and currently does nothing but refer such information to appropriate local authorities.

He thanked me for the information and stated that if any further contact was necessary he would call back. any further contact was necessary he would call back.
