# They Knew Too Much
About Flying Saucers

by GRAY BARKER

One by one, the leading figures among flying saucer researchers, who have challenged the govern- ment denial that saucers come from outer space, have been silenced.

Outwardly, nothing seems to have happened to these men. They are still alive, still living where they used to. But they no longer publish saucer research material and they will not talk about saucers or why they no longer will speak of them.

Three men in dark suits have visited these saucer researchers. Nobody knows what they said, but it was enough to reduce their hearers to silence.

Perhaps the silenced men know who the three dark-clad visitors are, but they won't talk about this either. And nobody else seems to know who these men are. They might be government agents, they might even be men from outer space, or they might have muscled into a situation fraught with many possibilities.

This is part of the true story told by an otherwise prosaic and successful Clarksburg, West Virginia, business man, Gray Barker, whose busy film booking and buying agency in Clarksburg News Building scarcely seems to be the place to give forth this story stranger than that of any of the pictures that Mr. Barker is booking.

Mr. Barker never was interested in flying saucers until 1952 when one of the most astonishing ones allegedly landed near his home in West Virginia and he investigated the story and found the shaken and fearful eye witnesses convincing enough to go on with further investigations.

Then, after several years of close contact with the leading men in the field, he found them suddenly silenced, one by one.

Who they are, what they were doing when they were silenced, Mr. Barker's astonishing theories of what they had discovered that impelled others to silence them, is told in his book.

behind-the-scenes chronicle of civilian saucer research. It is an immensely readable book. We suggest you do not pick it up if you have work to do, for you will be unable to put it down until you reach the amazing climax.

About Flying Saucers
GRAY BARKER (cont.)

Mr. Barker tells the story in such a straightforward and documentary manner that the reader's first mo- ment of incredulity will give way to conviction as he is acquainted, page-by-page, with the terrifying in- side facts.

A six-footer, handsome, and with a warm, in- fectious laugh, Mr. Barker retains in his voice just a trace of the accent of the West Virginia farming country where he grew up, somewhat belying the rich and varied career he has crammed into his thirty years. He has been head of an English department in a Maryland school system, an audio-visual education consultant for a large school supplier, theatre man- ager and motion picture projection technician. Begun as a hobby, saucer research has taken more and more of his time as he has realized the stark reality behind the mystery.

Finding time for his literary career between details of operating his business, he publishes The Saucerian, a flying saucer periodical, and contributes to educa- tional journals and motion picture technical magazines.
