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.

## BRIGHT WORLD IN HANDS OF SAUCER MOVEMENT (cont.)

(Editor's Note: This special message was received from Master Kalen-Li Retan (head of the planet Korendor, about 400 light years distant) on May 4, 1966 via special directional short-wave radio by Bob Renaud, the young electronic-technician whose remarkable story we printed in issues #18, 19, 20, 21, and 22, and which will be continued in our next issue.

Since Bob's initial radio contact in 1961, he has talked with the crew of a spacecraft as he watched them on his special TV screen in his home and eventually met his contacts in-person%3B visited their undersea and underground bases on our planet; was taken aboard many of their spaceships; and was actually allowed to pilot two of their small scout craft one on a short solo flight.)

"Kalo (Hello), friends. We will get directly to the point of our message to you. Frankly, we are appalled at the state of Earth at present. Despite our constant warnings and even our actual intervention in some instances, the condition upon your planet grows steadily worse.

One subject on everyone's lips these days is Vietnam. From a little civil war, it has grown steadily and inexorably into a full scale conflict between the world's three major powers: the United States, the Soviet Union, and Communist China.

## BRIGHT WORLD IN HANDS OF SAUCER MOVEMENT (cont.)

Many influential people have used the approach of patriotism and love of God and Country to twist decent human feelings into dangerous channels of thought and action. With their charges of treason and sympathy with the enemy, they have aroused a good portion of the populace to a state of fear, distrust, and hatred of those who seek peace and love. Unfor- tunately, because some unconventional individuals have been associated with the peace movement, that entire operation has been seriously hindered.

Your government is a military puppet, a mere parrot of the monstrosity that is the Military-Indus- trial complex. Your senators, except for a few, are robots, speaking what they are told to say.

Your President is, unfortunately, a pawn of their needs and demands. We have contacted him several times concerning the state of affairs, and he has said that he could do nothing to change them, for if he were to speak out against the Asian conflict, he would be removed. This is what happened to the late Mr. Kennedy who, in his great humanitarianism, was reluctant to sacrifice his ideals and his visions for the sake of the Military Industrial octopus. He paid the supreme penalty for his efforts in behalf of

humanity.

# SAUCERS

## BRIGHT WORLD IN HANDS OF SAUCER MOVEMENT (cont.)

Make no mistake. Your government is not in the White House or the Congress. IT IS IN THE PENTA- GON, AND IN THE HEADQUARTERS OF THE VAST "DEFENSE"-ORIENTED INDUSTRIES. It is THEY, not the President or the Congressmen, who run the United States. The facade government is merely to allay undue alarm or suspicion of the people.

Examine another aspect of the Asian war, the ECONOMIC side. Do you recall that, in the stock reports just recently, the Dow-Jones average dropped sharply BECAUSE OF A RUMOR THAT NORTH VIETNAM HAD MADE A PEACE BID? Does the staggering implication of this news evade you? Stock prices suffering a heavy loss because of a rumor that peace might come to pass!

This thought is most distressing. Your economy relies so heavily upon war and destruction, that if it were to stop, THE UNITED STATES ECONOMY WOULD SUFFER A MASSIVE DEPRESSION! Your money system would collapse like a house of cards. Millions would be unemployed, sick, hungry and homeless, Tremendous 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!

## BRIGHT WORLD IN HANDS OF SAUCER MOVEMENT (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?

MEL NOEL, former Air Force Lieutenant and fighter pilot, is fast becoming very well known for his lectures on his amazing experiences with Flying Saucers while on active duty in the service. He has been speaking to capacity crowds wherever he goes. On Thursday, June 23, 1966, the personable Mr. Noel spoke to a standing-room only crowd at the Aeronautical Sciences Building on Beverly Blvd. in West Los Angeles. We hear that he is booked to speak at 57 colleges across the nation! Recently he appeared on the Louis Lomax TV Show, and has been heard on many radio shows. He leaves shortly for Mexico City, where he has been invited by an official government group to speak. He has been promised some interesting experiences by a local contactee there, and we look forward to hearing his report on his return! Good work, Mel, and good luck!

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.

## AFSCA 3rd NATIONAL CONVENTION ADVANCE REGISTRATION FORM (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 is already known to the leaders of the Flying Saucer Movement. It is the system known as Universal Economics. As we have said over and over before, it is the non-money economic system which MUST be applied on your planet before you can start to resolve most of your major problems and thus begin to establish a highly- advanced, non-destructive state of 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.

# CONVENTION (cont.)

## AFSCA 3rd NATIONAL CONVENTION ADVANCE REGISTRATION FORM (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 to prevent disaster, it is our right and our duty to do so.

We have interfered in such places as the United States, China, Russia, and on a large scale in Vietnam. This has caused no end of consternation in the local Tribunal of Planets. We are sympathetic to their viewpoint, but we do feel that their policy is limited in its capacity to achieve the desired goals. It is our opinion that one cannot stand on the sidelines and achieve any noticeable results.

# CONVENTION (cont.)

## AFSCA 3rd NATIONAL CONVENTION ADVANCE REGISTRATION FORM (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.

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!

# CONVENTION (cont.)

## AFSCA 3rd NATIONAL CONVENTION ADVANCE REGISTRATION FORM (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!

# CONVENTION (cont.)

## AFSCA 3rd NATIONAL CONVENTION ADVANCE REGISTRATION FORM (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.

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.

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."

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."

## POLICE CHIEF 'CONVINCED THEY SAW SOMETHING

# Tracked by Radar (cont.)

## Six Teens Tell of 'Chase' by Buzzing, Lighted UFOs

By ROBERT KISTLER
Denver Post Staff Writer

Six picnicking Denver teen-agers reported Thursday night they were chased for an hour by unidentified flying objects in Daniels Park south of Denver in Douglas County.

The group was sitting around a fire they'd built inside
when they heard "what sounded like a man walking on top
of the shelter." The roof can easily be reached on foot from
the slanting hillside.

The high school students-three boys, three girls-told Police Chief John C. MacIvor of Littleton they witnessed un- explained, apparently "hovering" red, blue and white lights accompanied by a series of pulsating buzzing sounds which began about 9:30 p.m.

man, who might've been wearing a raincoat," dart through the light showing through the window into the area. They also said they heard his footsteps.

The group decided to leave,

Scrivner and Don Otis, an East High junior, son of Mr. and Mrs. Elmo Otis, 1939 Fairfax St., stood on top of the shelter and shined a flashlight into the surrounding area. They saw nothing.

The teen-agers, all 17, who described what they saw hesitantly, were described by MacIvor as being "sincere, cold sober and a little shaken by what they saw."

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

"I was real skeptical at first," MacIvor said. "But each of the kids called their parents who knew they'd been plc- nicking-to tell them where they were.

"I don't know what they saw," he said, "but I'm con- vinced they saw something."

Alan Scrivner, son of Mr. and Mrs. Russell Scrivner of 1040 Jackson St., a junior at East High School, gave the following account:

Scrivner and five friends drove to Daniels Park, 10-12 miles southeast of Littleton, about 6:30 p.m. They parked the car and walked about a city block down a small incline and up again to a stone shelter built in the side of a hill.

## Six Teens Tell of 'Chase' by Buzzing, Lighted UFOs (cont.)

The two-leaving the others behind in the shelter-made their way through the underbrush back to the road. "I thought someone was messing around my ear," Scrivner said.

As they were walking back to the car, Otis turned and saw "a real bright flash behind the hill over the shelter and it lit up the whole area."

The students said the objects disappeared into the clouds after about 10 minutes..

"Just as we got to the car," he said, "both of us heard a real weird buzzing noise. It seemed to be all around us.

As they reached the car, the youths saw "two red lights -about a foot each in diameter-about feet off the ground and parallel to each other." There was a white light in the center of the reds.

The four in the shelter said that, while the two had been gone, they'd heard the same "footstep-like" sound on the roof again. Two of the girls said they'd also seen a "tall

The lights, about 20 feet apart, appeared to be in a field on the far side of the road "about 25 yards" from the car. The two, thinking "it might be two parked cars or something," crouched in the ditch and waited.

About three minutes later, they again approached the car. They saw and heard nothing. They returned to the shelter.

The ominous buzzing began again. No direction, "just all around never heard anything like it in my life," Scrivner said. Shortly afterward as the group neared the car, they all agreed they saw the same thing:

No outline-other than the lights-was visible.

Two blue lights hovering low in the sky, about three- quarters of a mile away. The lights were stationary and went from bright to dim. A third white light appeared I to rise up and down between the blues and "lit up the area."

Mr. Reynolds said he talked
with persons who witnessed a
strange object flashing multi-

clear beneath the clouds where the lights were." As the third set of lights hovered, the youths agreed they could see a dark outline between the lights.

They perched atop the car's hood and watched the blue and white lights "off and on" for about a half hour. The lights appeared in back of the shelter in the opposite di rection from the first lights seen in the field.

"It looked like a black football-the blue lights on each end-with an orange on top, like a bubble. The red light was at the bottom. It didn't move up and own, but did cast a beam of light at the ground," Scrivner said.

Twenty minutes after the blues appeared, another set- these, blues with a bright red in the center-appeared "off to the left of the others and about a block away." These hovered near the ground. The buzzing continued.

"You'll all think we're nuts," Scrivner said later, "but my car didn't work right. I could get it up to about 30 (miles an hour) ( then it would cut out like someone turned the ignition off. Then it would start up again."

Scrivner also complained that the radio was "playing nothing but static" while they left the immediate area of the shelter.

As they drove off, two of the girls and Otis saw what the whole road following the car." appeared to be a large, oval circle of light-it covered

"It was huge and glowing," she said, "and came right up to the back of the car, then went out. It lasted about three seconds."

As the car left the park area, it quit "missing out" and the radio played normally, Scrivner said.

They're a very, very peaceful crowd, For they just never go to war. And they cannot interfere, This is by Universal Law. The spaceman's message to us all Is based on how to banish fear, And if we only understand, We will find it heaven here. While we must rely on war, We never will be happy here. While this world's economy Is based on hardship, strife and fear. How do they live without a war In their lands of milk and honey? They don't need economy, Because they don't use any money! They cannot give us any ships, So we must try and build our own. But they are waiting right out there, Oh, my friends, we're not alone! How do they go at such great speed, And vanish then without prediction? Because they use free energy, And there isn't any friction. Brother have you seen their ships? Sisters have you seen them glow, As they dance and hover in the sky, And make our fastest jets look slow?

Johnny evidently had spent a fitful night because of an earache that kept him out of school Friday.

When asked if he could have been having a bad dream, Johnny replied: "I am pretty sure I was awake because I had just fed my pet rat. It had 11 babies. I got back into bed, but I didn't even have time to cover up before I saw them."

The boy estimated that each saucer stayed about five minutes, and his story did not vary with each repeated telling.

The spokesman quickly adds: "We have nei- ther received nor discovered any evidence that proves the existence of intraspace mobility or extraterrestrial life and we continue to extend an open invitation to anyone who feels he pos- sesses any evidence of such vehicles operating in our atmosphere." And he states: "No UFO report evaluated by the Air Force has ever given any indication of a threat to our national security."

Californian, Who "Talks' to Men

Scientists Assail Air Force

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.

## 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 a 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.

# Would You Believe-'Saucer' Visits Wichita? (cont.)

## 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 in 1960 by a visit from Al- pha Centauri, a nearby star: Run for Presi- dent as a write-in candidate. (He campaigned briefly, then decided not to run.)

# Would You Believe-'Saucer' Visits Wichita? (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 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."

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.

# Would You Believe-'Saucer' Visits Wichita? (cont.)

## "There's Nothing To It"

Such notions are scoffed at by astronomers, however. "All this is imagination outside the realm of science," says Donald H. Menzel, di- rector of the observatory at Harvard. "I have examined Air Force cases and discovered that UFOs all have simple explanations in terms of well-known natural phenomena. There's not one cause, but hundreds. Some are quite spec- tacular, such as reflections from ice crystals or bright stars, searchlights on clouds or high- flying spider webs. But to some people the exis tence of flying saucers is a matter of religious fanaticism," he says.

# Would You Believe-'Saucer' Visits Wichita? (cont.)

## "There's Nothing To It" (cont.)

## "There's Nothing To It" (cont.)

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 to explain something that isn't susceptible to explanation."

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 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.

"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.

# Would You Believe-'Saucer' Visits Wichita? (cont.)

## "There's Nothing To It" (cont.)

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.

"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."

# Would You Believe-'Saucer' Visits Wichita? (cont.)

## "There's Nothing To It" (cont.)

Pinning down such reports is difficult, how- ever. "Some of the boys did report things they eouldn't identify a few years ago," says a spokesman for American Airlines. "But our pilots haven't made a report for years."

Nevertheless, "we have on file a great num- ber of reports from pilots who don't want their names used but still want to tell somebody what they've seen, claims J. B. 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."

An officer in control opera-
tions at Selfridge Air Force
Base, Mount Clemens, Mich.,

## Disc-Like Object Hovers, Rises For Two Hours East of Kettle Point (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.

Lawrence Bressette, who op-
erates a store on the Kettle
Point Indian Reserve, said a
motorist brought the object to
his attention about 8 p.m. He
said he looked at it through
binoculars and could, see red,
blue, green and white lights
flashing from the disc-shaped
object.

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 or 300 feet off the ground to the east. Then it slowly began to move up."

Mr. Bressette said it could
not have been swamp gas
which was suggested was the
cause of unidentified flying
object sightings in the Detroit
area last week.

"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.

'Report Them... Forget It- I Have Enough Credibility Problems As It Is'

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

"The possible existence of
neighbors in space will, if con-
firmed, create problems of le-

had been obtained on any of
the sightings.

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.

Sheriff Douglas Harvey of
Washtenaw County and civil
defence director William Van
Horn of Hillsdale County criti-
cized Dr. Hynek's report.
Van Horn said the swamp gas
explanation was an attempt
to "explain it away arbitrar-

ily."

N.Y. Daily News Dispatch
NEW YORK The nephew of
the late Dag Hammarskjold
has startled America's top
science writers by telling them
he believes that flying saucers
exist and that they come from
outer space.

Knut Hammarskjold, whose
late uncle was secretary gener-
al of the United Nations, spoke
to a convention here of the avi-

tion.

UFO sightings were received
Saturday night as far north
as the tip of the "Thumb" in
Lake Huron.

Odd lights were reported in
the sky over Oakland County
and the neighboring Detroit
area. Others were reported
westward in the Lansing area.

mystery
2-3-66

PEOPLE in North Queens-
land are mystified by
three separate reports of
Flying Saucers.

The first report came from a 27-year-old banana grower, Mr G. Pedley, who while driving a tractor through a neighbouring property on his way to his own. farm, heard a loud hissing noise above the noise of the tractor.

Suddenly about 25 yards
ahead of him, a blue-grey saucer
shaped craft about 25 ft across,
and 9ft high, rose vertically to
about 60ft and travelling at a
terrific speed headed off in a
south-westerly direction.

On investigation, a nest
of flattened reeds was found,
the circle being about 30ft
in diameter and since then
four other nests have been
found close by, some of them
newly made. -

During the last eight months,
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.

It's no trick at all to walk on water or ascend to the heavens if you have a Martian levitation belt around your waist and an anti-gravity beam to ride, Green explained.

Furthermore, he said, the Martians

Green can speak with some au- thority on these matters because, he says, he met and talked with a Martian once. Also a four-foot man from the Alpha Centauri star system. Also some other unearthly visitors.

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

"And once in a while," he said, "they would just call on the phone."

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

"What with nuclear proliferation growing, it seems rather obvious that unless we start resolving the present problems facing mankind, we will destroy ourselves and perhaps some of the universe along with us," Green ex- plained.

"This is one of the primary reasons why the extra-terrestrials started mak- ing visitations in 1947, shortly after we developed this ability to watch over us and if possible to impart their ad- vanced scientific, technological and sociological knowledge to help us re-

ourselves."

Green said he is trying to do his humble best to help them spread that message.

"The solutions they have given," he said, "deal primarily with resolving the motives for wars, expansionism and poverty. They hope to eliminate the have-not nations... through superior financing. They have an advanced eco- nomic system they call Universal Economics. The economics part of it is what I personally am trying to trans- mit."

HE SAID RUEFULLY, however,
that the saucer clubs themselves are in
an economic pinch that has prevented
needed research.

Green said he runs the saucer clubs out of his own home, at 2004 North Hoover in Los Angeles, "to cut down on the overhead." He said there are clubs in 50 major U.S. cities and abroad, with a total of about 3,500 members. Houston has no club, he said, but he does have some interested Hous- tonians on his mailing list.

"BUT HE REFUSED and told me to walk away," Green said. "He was on a balcony five floors high, and I walked down a hallway for three or four sec- ond and turned and looked back and he was gone. There was no logical place for him to go from that balcony.

Green believes the spacemen are un- doubtedly friendly, just as they profess to be, or otherwise they could have destroyed the earth long ago.

"They say they want nothing from

Green said people from many planets are visiting earth, and that accounts for the wide variety of flying saucers being sighted.

Police at Wanaque, the state's largest water storage basin, con- tinue to maintain a nightly vigil at the headworks, in Ringwood Avenue and Westbrook Road to spot that weird disk of light which was seen as late as Thurs day night making sharp dips and maneuvers over the reservoir.

## Spotters Jam Up-County
Roads for UFO Glimpse

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 Intelli gence on unidentified Flying Ob jects claims are "a whitewash." Initially, when the object was first sighted, the Air Force said it was an official helicopter with a strong beacon. A few hours later Air Force jets were spotted by police flying over the Wana- que.

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.

As yet nobody really seems to know what the UFO was or where it came from. Some say it is a balloon, others, men from Mars.

## ENCOUNTER WITH A SPACE SHIP

## By JIM HAZELWOOD

The Unidentified
Flying (UFO's) seen
Sunday in Michigan by at least
60 people, recall a bizarre story
which appeared in The Tribune

70 years ago

The date was Nov. 23, 1894,

and it reported that many per
sons saw an "airship" flying
over Oakland.

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

Aerial balloons, however, had
been known for decades.

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

Although the a

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

It should be borne in mind that shapes of aircraft and esti mates of airspeed were still sciences of the future when the following story, reproduced in part, was written.

"That a huge airship has
been hovering over Oakland for
the last few nights has in the
minds of thany been conclusive-
ly proven. A number of persons
whose integrity is unquestiona-
ble have seen the strange navi-
gator of the air and this num
ber includes many whose scepti
cism has been pronounced.

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

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

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

"It was high in the heavens.

It appeared to be of huge size.
When first seen, it seemed to be
floating over San Leandro. It
moved rapidly, going at least 20
miles an hour. It shot across
It turned quickly disap the skies to the northwest, t

"Not only was the airship
seen by the passengers, but
many other residents of this
city distinctly saw the brilliant

body floating in mid-air.

"None of the spectators were
acquainted with each other and
yet their s stories are startlingly
similar, agreeing as to time, d
rection of the airship, and de-
seription."
