J . E. Hoover, F. B. I. Director
Wash. D. C.

Dear Sir:
I a ~ member of "Nicap" and am very much
interested in U. F. <!1-.fF lying Saucers)
Several weeks ago a fellow employee received a
letter (business) from Arizona with a stamp on the back (see
enclosed)
Being interested in U. F. 0' s I asked for the stamp
& sent $3. 00 for the 12 issues of AFSCA.
Having received & read my first issue I feel it isn't
just what it appears on the surface. I can't say just why, but with
my limited idea of how communists operate it strikes me it is backed
by them.
My reason for writing this is that I consider myself
a true American, I am told my ancestors go back to a Gr Gr Gr
Grandmother who was an Indian Squaw & I'm proud of it. If, by
writing for this AFSCA Report, my name could in anyway be aligned
with the communist party, I would like to know if there is any way I ,. ,,,c../
can get things straightened 01:1t.
I may be all wrong about my interpretation of this
report but l'.d like to be sure since I expect I will get the other issues
as they come up.
\\tC 9&,.:, --- . l' -. ,. / _ y...,/
I will be 63 yrs old in a few days. My husband passed
away 4-30-65 I have worked as Mgr of Reins Dept for the N. H. Ins

SPECIAL

AFSCA

CONVENTION

BRIGHT WORLD IN HANDS OF SAUCER MOVEMENT
(Editor's Note: This special message was
received from Master Kalen-Li Retan (head of the
planet Korendor, about 400 light years distant) on
May 4, 1966 via special directional short-wave radio
by Bob Renaud, the young electr_onic-technician whose
remarkable story =e prip.i>,;;u 1n issues #18, 19, 20, 21,
"'~.., co"', c,.nd which will be continued in our next issue.
Since Bob's initial radio contact in 1961, he has
talked with the crew of a spacecraft as he watched
them on his special TV screen in his home - and
eventually met his contacts in-person; visited their
undersea and underground bases on our planet; was
taken aboard many of their spaceships; and was
actually allowed fo pilot two of their small scout
craft - one on a short solo flight.)

--

"Kalo (Hello), friends. We will get directly to
the point of our message to you. Frankly, we are
appalled at the state of Earth at present. Despite our
constant warnings and even our actual intervention in
some instances, the condition upon your planet grows
- steadily worse.
One subject on everyone's lips these days is
Vietnam. From a little civil war, it has grown
steadily and inexorably into a full scale conflict
between the world's three major powers: the United
States, the Soviet Union, and Communist China.
Many influential people have used the approach
of patriotism and love of God and Country to twist
decent human feelings into dangerous channels of
thought and action. With their charges of treason and
sympathy with the enemy, they have aroused a good
portion of the populace to a state of fear, distrust,
and hatred of those who seek peace and love. Unfortunately, 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

ISSUE NQ. 24

MESSAGE

humanity.
Make no mistake. Your government is not in the
White House or the Congress. IT IS IN THE PENTAGON, AND IN THE HEADQUARTERS OF THE VAST
" DEFENSE"-ORIENTED INDUSTRIES. It is THEY,
not the President or the Congressmen, who run the
United States. The facade government is merely to
allay undue alarm or suspicion of the people.
Examine another aspect of the Asian war, the
ECONOMIC side. Do you recall that, in the stock
reports just recently, the Dow-Jones average
dropped sharply BECAUSE OF A RUMOR THAT
NORTH VIETNAM HAD MADE A PEACE BID? Does
the staggering implication of this news evade you?
Stock prices suffering a heavy loss because of a
rumor that peace might come to pass !
This thought is most distressing. Your economy
relies so heavily upon war and destruction, that if it
were to stop, THE UNITED STATES ECONOMY
WOULD SUFFER A MASSIVE DEPRESSION! Your
money system would collapse like a house of cards.
Millions would be unemployed, sick, hungry and
homeless, Tremendous indust-rial complexes would
close their doors.
The utterly appalling fact is this: WAR IS
PROFITABLE. Highly so! Every major conflict has
been accompanied by a strong peak in your monetary
prosperity. Peace has usually been economically
painful!
After World War 1, the nation coasted for a while
upon the fat put on during the boom of the war years.
In 1929, the bottom fell out. After the Korean War,
in the 1950's came another recession . What comes
after Vietnam? No one knows, and no one wants to
find out. The war in Vietnam is bringing an unheardof degree of affluence in the United States. Why kill
a good thing by ending the war? The philosopy, in
essence, is this: It is economically expedient to send
military forces to Vietnam and elsewhere in Asia in
order to wage war, because in doing so, the United
States I economy is bolstered and maintained at a high
level of prosperity; human life is secondary to the
preservation of economic well- being!
It is thus evident that, unless a drastic change is
made in the structure of yo~r economy, war will
never end because the Military-Industrial complex
WON'T LET IT!
Many of you fear Communism. Where did that
fear come from, I ask you? From within yourself?
NO! It was brainwashed into you by the MilitaryIndustrial complex. Who controls all your news
media? The government and the advertisers. Who,
then, is in a position to dictate what shall be printed?

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 concerned. 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 intelligent 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. RAYMOND BERNARD, founder of the
Biosophical Society of Santa Caterina, Brazil, passed

DELLA LARSON, who for over a decade was the
guidi:1g light and _m_a~n i~stigator of Flying Saucer
meetings and activities 1n the San Francisco Bay
Area, passed away on October 25, 1965. She was
70 years old. She will be remembered for her
energetic and enthusiastic dedication to the goal s of
the Flying Saucer cause, as well as for the highly
successful annual Northern California Space Craft
Conventions which she organized for nine years.
(Della, we salute you!)
MAX MILLER, former publisher of the nowdefunct "Saucers" magazine, and author of "Flying
Saucers: Fact or Fiction" (now out of print), has a
new role. He is now editor-publisher of "Real" magazine which may be found on t'1.e newsta.nds for 501.
The August '66 issue devote s about half of i ts suace to
the Flying Saucer s11bject and will be well worth your

WILBUR MILLER , one of the early researchers
in the Flying Saucer Movement, passed away on
Ma1·ch 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
Moron.go 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 Lo:ie Pine had partial blackouts
during an evening channel (teltpathic) session she was
having with the Space Brothers. The lights in Independence went out completely for several minutes by
a gradual fade-out , and then came o:i again in the
same manner. During this time, the Space Being
speaking through Hope said to those present: "Be not
afraid. We are guardians of the race. Protection
will be given to those in the area."
HAL WILCOX made a fine guest appearance on
the Joe Pyne TV Show , April 30, 19·66. Hal passed
the lie-detector test with flying colors and conducted
himself with dignity and fortitude, which isn't always
easy on the Joe Pyne Show. During the test, Hal
stated that he had taken a saucer ride to visit the
second planet from the star, Alpha Centauri.
M. I. N. D. stands for Mental Investigations of
New Dimensions, an organization recently formed by

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

Consider this: In order to survive, a commercial 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 111 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.
We throw the blame directly on the MilitaryIndustrial complex which, by its underhanded dealing,
threats of force, and economic pressure and retaliation, has crushed the spirit of American journalism
and turned it from a dynamic motivating force in
American life into a weak-willed, subservient
mouthpiece for the power-masters . We blame them
for the death of journalistic freedom and individuality!
One more comment on this topic: May I say that
a better economic system is already known to the
leaders of the Flying Saucer Movement. It is the
system known as Universal Economics. As we have
said over and over before, it is the non-money
economic system which MUST be applied on your
planet before you can start to resolve most of your
major problems and thus begin to establish a highlyadvanced, 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.
Do we of Korendor work with the local planets
in our operations? Yes, we do cooperate with them
a great deal. However, our work on Earth is
relatively independent of the local planets. We have
many times overstepped what is considered to be the
limit of interference upheld by Venus, Mars, and
other planets. This has caused a good deal of debate
between them and us. Each time we have pointed out
that we of Korendor are basically pragmatic in nature.
Although we do respect the laws of self-destiny, we
feel also that where stepping in is required to prevent
disaster, it is our right and our duty to do so.
We have interfered in such places as the United
States, China, Russia, and on a large scale in
Vietnam. This has caused no end of consternation in
the local Tribunal of Planets. We are sympathetic to
their viewpoint, but we do feel that their policy is
limited in its capacity to achieve the desired goals.
It is our opinion that one cannot stand on the sidelines
and achieve any noticeable results.
As I have said before, we have infiltrated your
planet. We are directly involved in Earth's life.
You might say that you have been invaded - a strong
way of phrasing it, to be sure, but nonetheless
factual, since we walk and work amongst you daily!
We have been asked about our physical appearance. We are humanoid, indistinguishable from
yourselves, except that in our natural form we average three to four feet in height. Every other dimension is proportionately scaled, so that photographs of
us would not reveal our origin in any way.

We are able to increase our height while on
Earth through a technical process related to teleportation. It is concerned with recording the atomic and
molecular structures of our bodies, and then reproducing them identically on a larger scale. Differences in our internal structure are adjusted by the
computer which controls the reproducer.
Our most common skin color is a little darker
than yours, although we have skin colors which vary
as yours do all over the Earth. Usually, however,
we would look "tan" to you. We are NOT green, blue,
or heliotrope, as has been suggested_!__
Concerning our language, we generally use one
of two tongues and we are fairly familiar with a third.
On Korendor itself we speak the native language,
Korendian. It is similar in many ways to your own
languages since it, like yours, was originally derived
from Galingua, one of the two universal tongues.
The other is Solex Mal, which is more familiar to
you, since it is used by your local Solar System
planets. It is seldom heard now in our sector of
space, as Galingua has replaced it almost completely.
Unlike your own, however, the KorendianGalinguan speech is very rhythmic, and has few
sibilant sounds, such as "s" or "z". Some of the
sharper sounds like "c" and "k" are minimized. It is
a beautiful language which is very musical and
pleasant to hear.
Perhaps you would be surprised to learn that
ancient Latin was liberally taken from Galingua.
There are many similarities in the two languages.
Even modern English has roots on other worlds!
In concluding my message to you, may I say people of Earth: open up your minds and your hearts
to the world around you. There is so much to be
learned, so much to be discovered. Don't waste
precious hours and days in bigotry and ignorance,
and in senseless fighting and killing. To do so j.s
truly a crime against nature and humanity.
At this stage where you have the very stars
almost in your grasp, how irrational and barbaric it
is to spend futile hours warring with your brothers.
As an old saying on your world puts it: "As you make
your bed, so shall you lie in it." The decision does
not seem difficult. Here are the alternatives: A
world living in harmony, justice, security and abundance for all, or a world continuing to reap the
bloody harvests that grow from the seeds of hatred
and mistrust. If left to their own devices, the
majority of mankind will forge onward to a destiny of
destruction and annihilation, oblivious to the danger
in their actions. They are short-sighted; they care
little for the future.
It is you New Age people, dedicated to the welfare of all mankind, and having the vision and understanding of the ways to build the better world of
tomorrow, who must lead the way. You have the
future in YOUR hands, if you will but shoulder your
responsibilities. The Flying Saucer Movement, as
you call it, belong s to you. Support it in every way
possible. Help it to grow until it is influential
thoughout your world. Go out into the world and
guide the misguided, find the lost, and recover the
strays. We are behind you all the way. As we have
said many times before, we will take two steps for
every one that you take to help yourselves.
The time has come for nations to ''bury the
hatchet", to clasp hands, and plunge into the future
together - in co-operation toward mutual goals.
Look to the heavens and realize that your destiny
is not in bleak atomic deso1ation, but in the magnificent greatness that you can achieve if you will but
work for it. Choose the right path and you will soon
qualify to join with us in our journeys amongst the
stars.
Va i Luce (Go in Light)."

WHEN CONTACTED at the home,

" He wH crying that he had seen two

Johnny said he didn't know about the

CONVENTION

There's a cockeyed feeling in the world today
That power politics is here to stay.
But China, Russia and the U.S. A.
Boy-don't let them fool you!
Take a look at this world of ours,
Just one mud ball in the sea of stars.
Other planets have no color-bars,
'Cause they've got perspective.
Yanks and Ruskies put men into space,
But it 1s all a mad politician's race,
One-up-manship in this Year of Grace.
It makes you giggle.
The population stands and stares,
While men in capsules explore U·pstairs.
Why we can 1t even manage our own affairs!
Some cheek -colonization!
Besides, they've got people on Venus and Mars.
They got lads and lasses and ma's and pa I s.
And they've got better transport than four-wheel cars.
Have you ever seen 'em?
Those Flying Saucers whisking through our skies
Must take some power to make them rise.
But government departments just hide their eyes,
And call them meteors!
With all the lies that they print and shout,
The general public's got its work cut outFiguring what it's all about.
But just you keep on trying.
I suppose you know why I'm telling you this,
So you won't shriek or shake your fist
When you dis cover Martians do exist!
They I re real nice fellows.
I know, 'cause I met one a week ago!
His ship came down for an hour or so .
He talked to me, but then he had to go .
Real interested I was!
Got brothers on Venus and Saturn, it seems Fly their ships on magnetic beams .
They wear one piece suits-you can't see any seams;
But apart from that-they're just like us!

SPACE-TALK

The powers that be will tell us we 're alone.
They'll tell us that in space we are unique;
On this little desert island we call Earth
The hwnan race is just a kind of freak.
When we send our envoys into space
The re '11 be a smile upon this planet's face,
'Cause brother, right out there-I'm telling you,
There's another human race; it's very true!
They're a very, very peaceful crowd,
For they just never go to war.
And they cannot interfere,
This is by Universal Law.
The spaceman's message to us all
Is based on how to banish fear,
And if we only understand,
We will find it heaven here.
While we must rely on war,
We never will be happy here.
While this world's economy
Is based on hardship, strife and fear.
How do they live without a war
In their lands of milk and honey?
They don't need economy,
Because they don't use any money!
They cannot give us any ships,
So we must try and build our own.
But they are waiting right out there,
Oh, my friends, we 're not alone!
How do they go at such great speed,
And vanish then without prediction?
Because they use free energy,
And there isn't any friction.
Brother have you seen their ships?
Sisters have you seen them glow,
As they dance and hover in the sky ,
And make our fastest jets look slow?

error.''
• The whole problem, says J. Allen HYJltek,
chairman of the department of astronomy at
Northwestern University and a consultant to
the Air Force, is that the matter should be
studied more thoroughly.
'
"Pressures · to conformity in acadeintc circles and fear ot ridicule have slowed the

professor at the University of Illinois in Chi·
Ce.go.

fifth annual Space Conference this year that
''there qiay be some natural explanation of

considered is that UFOs are spaceships from

.

Fueling tpe flying-saur,er . contN?versy .has
been the large number of reports from what
many peoj)le consider reliable witnesses- pilots
with technical backgrounds. Since 1947, more
than 100 private, mllitary and commercial pilots
have reported spotting strange objecte in the
Sky, accordfrig to one study.
Pinning down such repqrts is difficult, .however. "Some of the boys did re~r_t things they
couldn!t identify a few years ago," •says I a
spokesman for American Airlines. ' " But our
pilots haven ' t made a report for years."
Nevertheless, "we havq on file a great number of reports from pilots who don't Want their

•
Vlaiton From Outer Space
Nobody knows wfiat the objects are or where
• they come from, but th"ere is no lack of theories
-or of controversy. The Alllalgamated Flying
Saucer Clubs of America, Inc., is sure the
"saucers" come from outer space. How do
they know? The ' "space people" . have told
them.
. Not only that, says Gabriel Green, who
heads the Calitornia group, 11 space people give
contaclees information about life on other
Planets and solutions to insurmountable problems on our planet." One si.iggestion allegedly
made to Mr. Green in 1960 by a visit from Al, pha Centauri, -.a, nearby star: Run for Presid~nt as a write-in candidate. (He campaigned
briefly, then decided not to run.)
'
The National Investigations Committee on
private re\ Aerial Phenomena /(NICAP) I
search organization in 'Y{ashington, doesn't
hold with that theory. "We reject reports ol
noble beings landing on earth to solve all our
prol;>lems, 0 says a spokesman. •So men from

the committee. It .believes If congressional in•

One rna.n who's not confused at all is Charles

mathematics at Defi8.ncE, College in Ohio. Says
the professor: "These fbjects are unguestion- r""'----.~-■

President of Understanding, Inc., of P. 0. Box 76, Merlin, Oregon 97532. Your editor enlarged them
from the original 16mm color movie film. Spots on the photos are due to the extreme enlargement of

from their own follies - just as the

Green can speak with some authority on these matters because, he

Green, who lives in

the head saucerer - the president of the AmaJgamated FI yi n g Saucer
Clubs of America.
Not b e l n g too telepathic, we just
called Green on the phone to interview
him about the recent rash of flying
saucer sightings around the country.
"It is a continuation of their efforts
to enlighten us," Green replied in calm
and cultured tones.
'"The current series ot sightings and
landings, I understand, will 1ncrease.
They are not going to go away, as
some members ot our government
would like."
WHY DO THEY keep buzzing down
here and scaring people!
"What with nu cl ea r proliferation
growing, it seems rather obvious that
unless we start resolving the present
p r o b 1e .m s facing mankind, we will
destroy oui-selves and perhaps some of
the universe along with us," Green ex•
plained.
''This is one ot the primary reasons
why the extra•terrestrlals started mak·
lng visitations in 1947, shortly after we
developed this abUity - to .watch over
us aild if possible to impart their ad•

solve these problems before we destroy
ourselves."
Green s a I d he is trying to do his
humble best to help them spread that
message.
''The solutions they have given," he
said, "deal pri marily with resolving the
mbtives tor wars, expansionism and
poverty. They hope to eliminate the
have-not nations . .. through superior
financing. They have an advanced eco-nomlc system they call Universal
:Economics. The economics part ot it is
what I personally am trying to trans•
mil"

HE SA I D RUEFULLY, however,
that the saucer clubs themselves a.re in
an economic pinch that has prevented
needed research.
Green said he runs the saucer clubs
out of his own home, at 2004 Nortl}.
Hoover in Los Angeles, "to cut down
on the overhead.'' He said there are
clubs in 50 m a j or U.S. cities and
abroad, with a total of a b o u t 3,500
members. Houston has no club, he said,
but he does have some interested Houstonians on his mailing list
"We are a contact.oriented research
group," he said, "meaning that many
ot our members have made actual

physical contact with crews ot these
craft"
Green said he has sighted 85 to 100
spacecraft around Los Angeles over
the yea.rs and has met "half a dozen
or so members ot the crews."
Bur GREEN BELl'ITLED his own
experiences.
"They're so 1nslgniflcant it's hardly
worth talking about them," he said.
"Some or our members have actually
been taken for rides in spacecraft
"I certainly wouldn't tum down a
ride if it were offered me. But they've
never asked me."
Green said he met the Martian by
appointment at a friend's home, and he
looked "just like anybody you'd meet
on the street" He was ca s u a 11 y
dres.sed, Green said, and wore a short•
sleeve, ~ h I m m e r y, metallic.looking
shirt which he ~i.d would stop bullets.
All in all, a handsome chap, Green
said.
"I f el t his halr and It was quit.e
coarse and worn in a V•shape down to-ward the c en t er ot the forehead,"
Green said. "But I rather doubt all
Martians wear t h e i r hair alike, any
more than we do.
"HE SAID THE MARTIAN canals

f- S P. O ~LIG ■ r

THE PHILADELPHIA INQUIRER ,

were really canals for distributing the
short water supply from their polar
region s, and that the two Martian
moons are really artificial satellites
just like the Russian astronomers have
supposed."
Green said he had inet the Alpha
Centauri man several times - once in
the Green home.
"He was dressed ordinarily and was
about four feet tall, although this was
unusuaJ. Most of the reports or them
are that they are normal height or
larger," Green said.
"Th ere was that space ship that
landed near Albuquerque, for Instance,
with a crew of four men and five worn•
en. They were very beautiful, very well
proportioned. Seven to nine feet tall.''
Green said he had met other inter.
stellar travelers but would "rather not
go into the whole list.''
Where did they park their space
ships while they were visiting him?
"OH, SOMETIMF.S t h e y actually
park them - hang them up in the sky
with a force field around them. Then
they have an anti•gravity beam and
levitation belts they wear around the
waist to get on down to earth.
''Through th es e, they can accom•
plish such m i r a c I es as walking on
water and ascending into the heavens.''
Green said he is 41 and was a
photographer with the Los Angeles
Board of Education until he resigned
In 1959 to try to help the spacemen
save civilization.
Green said naturally he asked to
take the spacemen's picture, but they
. refused and he abided by their wishes.
"An associate of mine once tried to
sneak a couple ot flash pictures," he
said, "but two times the flash gun
wouldn't fire, even though the camera
was in perfect working condition.

Eerie 1896 Sighting

60 people, recall a bizarre story
which appeared in The Trtbune

and it reported that many per•

But this date was 10 yean before the Wright brothers made

Aerial balloons, however, had
been knownJor decades.
The Oakland "airship" was

Although the original story

Forces - Focus on UFO" , which was published in the Thi s World
suppl ement of t he San Francisco Exami ner & Chronic l ~unday,
October 16, 1966.
This articl e deal s with the current controversy over
the existence or nonexistence of flying saucers or Unidentified
Flying Objects (UFOs), and quotes Michigan ' s Congressional
Representative GERALD FORD as suggesting t hat ConGress l ook
into UFOs ; a l so it announces that the Air Force, w11ich is

The articl e also points out that since f ast summer
pressure has been mounting for the establishment of an inde pendent, civilian controlled investigative agency to l ook i nto
the UFO problem.
Al so, for the Bureau ' s information, there was recently published (first printing June 1966) a book entitled
"Flying Saucers - Serious Business" , Lyle Stuart, Inc . ,

its third editi on and is availabl e in paperback, published
by Blntam Books, and i t i s probably a contributing factor to

In t his book author Edwards points out that flying

documents many reports throughout the world of UFOs since that
date, and claims that 1965 was the year of the greatest number
of UFO sightings and that these were observed by mul tipl e witnesses . It is author Edwards ' contention that UFOs are space
vehicl es sent to observe activities on earth and the Air Force ,
which is charged with the responsibility of investigating UFOs ,
has deliberatel y withhel d information and given misleadi ng
expl anati ons because it f ears a mass panic by the public if
the publ ic were tol d the truth .
The book describes UFOs as pol ished metal objects,
radiating heat and light (sufficient to have burned witnesses
who were too near), and emitting some force fie l d that interferes wi th electromagnetic instruments and power sources .
Colors range from brilliant white to dull reds and bril liant
orange . Some objects have carried blinking lights . There are
three basic shapes : 1 ) zeppel in- shaped ships up to 300 feet
long; 2) disk- shaped objects ranging from a few feet in diameter to 100 feet , with many reported at about 30 feet diameter;
and 3) egg- shaped objects , whi ch according to the author are
the ones most recentl y sighted .
According to the book, the objects move silently and
attain fantastic speeds, yet can hover motionless in mid- air;
they have been reported to land and to take off with great
speed, usually with a burst of l ight from the underside , which
in some cases has left the groupd beneath them scorched.
Many of the persons named in the book who have reported them are reliable individuals, including law enforcement officers, mil itary personnel on official duty, military
pilots, commercial airline pilots , civilian defense officials ,
etc . A number of photographs of the obje cts have been reproduced in the book, some reportedly taken by repubable persons .
Many reported sightings are from atomic and missile research
areas .
Wreckage of crashed saucers has been reportedl y recovered on at least three occasions , in one case described as
a magnesium alloy, in another as pure magnesium, and in a t hird
case, attributed to an official of the Canadian government , the
material was described as an exceptionally hard unknown metal ,
actually a matrix of magnesium orthosilicate which contained
thousands of 15- micron metal spheres throughout , and showing
evidence of micro- meteorites on its surface .

A few witnesses have reported seeing crewmen who
ha~d l anded from the objects , who are described a s three and
a half to four feet tall, weari ng what appear to be space suits
and helmets.
Author Edwards concludes t his book with a prediction
t hat in the near future UFOs will ma ke an "overt l anding " or
deliberate conta c t with earth .
A copy of this letter is being directed to Denver,
i n view of the contra ct awarded to Dr. EDWARD u. CONOON.
The above is being called to the Bureau ' s at tention
in view of the press report of mounting pressure for a civilian

of the 11,000 sightings · since
1947, did have some explanations. ·Th e mystedous
f 1 am in g object in the East
was "probably a meteor."
As for :Michigan's muchpublic i z e d and plentiful
unidentified f 1 y i n g objects,
they turned out to be
monkeyshines i n s t e a d of
moonships :
..C'nidentified
c~llege boys" playing pranks
with flares to frighten the
g i r 1 s in the dormitories,
came the aug4st report from
a distinguished astronomer
called in by the Air Force to
investigate the HiUsdale affair.
E very r.eport of a "flyina
b
saucer " had ostensibly been
ch e ck e d out by the Air
F orce's special squad known
as ' 'Project Blue Book," although the staff was woefully
small. Of the 10,147 sightings
s 1 n c e 1947, the Air Force
insisted that only 646 remain
unexplained - and most of
these because of insufficient
information. The others have
been attributed to . planes,
b a 11 o o n s,
astronomical
causes, missiles, swamp gas,
meteo r s, fireworks and, in
some cases, to hallucinations
ru1d psychological reasons.
Ball Ligbining?
Philip Klass, avionics editor of Aviation Week & Space
Technolo g y
magazine,
recently proposed soine other
exp I an at ions. Klass, an
electronics engineer, said a
form of "ball lightning," gener ated by high tension power
lines, could explain the phenomena.
Many of the sightings, said
-mass, occw·red along or very
near high-tension lines where
luminous balls of ionized air
could be g e n e r a t e d under
certain conditions.

'No Threat'

The main conclusions
r e a ch e d by the Air Force
were:
~ "No unidentified fiying
obJects reported, investigated and evaluated by the Air
· Force haYe ever given any indication of a threat to our
national security."
o "There has been no evTclence submitted to or discovered by the Air Force that
sightings r epresent t e c h n o•1ogical developments or principle s beyond the range of
present day scientific knowledge."
c " There has been no evidence th2t sightings categorized as unidentified are extraterrestrial vehicles."

Major D on al d Keyhoe,
however, w as unconvinced.
Major Key h oe, USMC (retired), dir ector of the National Investigations Committee
on A er i a I P henomena (NI•
CAP ), a private space watching organization, accused the
Air F o·r c e of conducting a
long-term whitewash on the
UFO question.
It wa_s Keyhoe's theory
that the Air Force was withholding information for fea~
of c a u s in g public panic.
UFOs, insisted the Major,
who had never seen one. were
of exb-aterrestrial origin an.:
the Air Force feared that the

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

you details," he complained.
"If they did, many of their
explanations would fall flat."
And K e y h o e could also
claim a powerful ally in
Michigan's Ger ald Ford, the·
Hou se Republican leader,
who suggcs:ed it would be " a
very wholesome thin g" for
Congress to look into unidentified flying objects. Such an
investigation. Ford suggested. would make the American people '·feel better."
- Study in Depth

Whether or not that was· so,
the Air Force last week took
definite steps to make itself
feel better. Fed up with inyestigating r eports of glowing, f l y i n g. zooming, winking, awe s ome, blinking,
streaking, hoveling things,
the Air Force last week decided to bail itself out of all
responsibility for future conclusions concerning UFOs.
The Air Force announced
that it had commissioned the
University of c o 1 0 r a d O to
conduct an "in-depth" study
of flying saucers for the next
18 m O n th s. The director of
the study (expected to cost
$300,000) would be Dr. Edward U. Condon, former director of the National Bureau
of St an d a r d s, and now a
physics professor at Colorado.
. To satisfy the skeptics, and
rnsm·e the study's objectivity' C o 1 o r a d o would select
several other universities to
~ake ~art. in the independent
m~est~gation, with about 100
scientists participating.
And in c.a s e that wasn't
enough, the National Academy of Sciences also agreed
to appoint a panel to review
the Colorado report.

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

LI

He advised that he is a free-lance writer and is working
on a story for a TV production concerning unidentified flying objects.
He stated that he has been in pe1!onal contact with a former Air Force
officer who uses the alias of M
oel concerning unidentified flying
objec s and that it is the TV pro ucer's intention to use this individual
in the forthcoming TV show. He advised that Noel is not the individual' s
true name and inquired as to whether the FBI could advise him of Noel's
real identity.
Moss was advised that the FBI could not be of any
assistance to him and that all information in FBI files is confidential.
He was also advised that the investigation of unidentified flying objects
is not, and never has been, a matter within the investigative jurisdiction
of the FBI.
Bufiles contain no information which can be identified
with Moss.

Edgar J . Hoover,
Director,
Feder al Bureau of Investigation,
Washington , D. C.
Dear Sir,
About two years ago or so I wrote to v ou and
asked you, to the best of my recollect ion, why agents
of you Bureau investigated reported landings of
unidentified flying objects and whether data regarding
their findings was available. You replied saying t hat
agents inve sti gated these cases to determine whether
any Feder al law had been broken and that t heir
finding s were confidentia l as were all other FBI records.
Since receivinp- y our l etter which was placed in my
records, many of my records includ in~ your letter were
destroyed recently i n a fire at my h ome and I woul d
therefore be Frateful if, for the nurnoses of my new
r ecords, confirm your letter of 1964/ 5 i f the s i tuation
is still the same.
In addition , I woul d be ple ased to learn what your
opinion is of t he unidentified flyin~ obj ects. If v ou
decline, I would appreciate that i t was due Cd ~our.-••--~l!J~.

or.2 :..0.rn.ie Zamora of the Socor1·0 Police Department who ha d observed

oblong- shaped object which alighted 1n the •treet in front
of bi■ when he was on bi• n1 boae from bl• televia1on repair
shop , the Oak Grove T. v., 6424 Great Bridae Road, Chesapeake,
Virainla . Be believes that be was taken int o this craft which
be recalla as being made of a elua like aubstance and being
transparent . It was manned by aeveral iodivlduala who appeared
to be underaized creatures similar to Jlellbers of the human
race, probabl,- not more than 4 'feet tall . They were allegedly
wearing regular trouser pants and T-Sbtrts. Collins believes
that be was transported by tb1a craft for an undetermined
distance and returned to his point of take-oft approximately
one hour later .
Collins spoke in a coherent manner although he
appeared to be under certain emotional atrain. He claimed
he had not been drinkiD& an7 intoxicant• but he was unable
to account for tbe time between 6 : 00 p . m. and 4 : 00 a . m.. He
stated he was telephoning from hia worksbbp but had no recollection
of being elsewhere t>etween 8:00 p . m. and 4: 00 a . m.
The above is being furnished for your information.

NOTE: Collins furnished information to night supervisor SA
A. R. Ware, Special Investigative Division . A check of Bureau

PAUL L. PEYERL

INFORMATION CONCERNING

A review of the Miami indices revealed information
reflecting subject appeared at the Miami Office on July 24 ,
1959, and \d.unteered to return to Austria as an intelligence
agent. His expressed motivation was to do something to repay
the debt he felt he owed the United States . He was afforded
the Washington, D. c. Headquarters address of the Central
Intelligence Agency and told his inquiry should be directed
1tBre .
Also, on July 4, 1961, he appeared at the Miami
Office and gave an incoherent story of recently meeting an
individual who asked him to kill his mother . PEYERL appeared
to be somewhat bewildered and continuously gazed away from the•
interviewing Agent.
During his most recent visit to the Miami Office,
PEYERL seemed genuinely concerned about the existence
of the object he allegedly photographed during November, 1944 . ·
He exhibited no emotional nor mental disorder and appeared to
be rational .
In view of recent publicity afforded UFO sightings,
some apparently by responsible sources, this information
is submitted to the Bureau for consideration of transmittal
to the u. s . Air Force .

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

Sometime during 1943, he graduated from the
German Air Academy and was assigned as a member of the
Luftwaffe on the Russian Front . Near the end of 1944, he
was released from this duty and was assigned as a test
pilot to a top secret project in the Black Forest of Austria .
During this period he observed the aircraft described above .
It was saucer shaped, about twenty-one feet in diameter,
radio controlled, and mounted several jet engines around the
exterior portion of the craft . He further described the
exterior portion as revolving around the dome in the center
which remained stationary. It was PEYERL ' s r esponsibility
to photograph the object while in flight . He asserted he
was able to retain a negative of a photograph he made at 7,000
meters (20,000 feet). A Xerox copy of the negative, as furnished
by PEYERL, appears on the last page of this communication.
Also , a still photograph he allegedly made "at the risk of my
life", illustrating the object parked in a hanger, appears on
the last page .
According to PEYERL, the ab~e aircraft was designed
and engineered by (First Name Unknown) KUEHR, a German engineer
whose present whereabouts is unknown
him . He assumed KUEHR
was taken into custody by Allied Fores upon the termination
of hostilities . PEYERL stated KUEHR unsuccessfully attempted
to avoid the German draft, but was apprehended by the Gestapo

PAUL L . PEYERL
INFORMATION CONCERNING

in Vienna, Austria , sometime during late 1943 or early 1944.
PEYERL also assumed the secretsi:ertaining to this aircraft
were captured by Allied Forces . He said this type of aircraft
was responsible for the downing of a t least one American B-26
airplane . He furnished the following fuel and engine data:
" ... . Fuel mixture of N2H4O in Methyl Alcohol
(CH3OH) rather than ' oxygen-holding ' mixture of
hydrogen peroxide H2 O2 in water . 7m 1,3m high two
rocket motors ; smooth flow, rotary drive over 2,000
meters per second ...• "
PEYERL sai d he copied t his data from a board
located in the hanger area.
PEYERL asserted he was shot down by the British
on March 14, 1945, after having been reassigned to the
Western Front . He was held prisoner by the British in
London and later in Brussels until his release in 1946 .
He departed for the United States from Bremerhaven, Germany,
on December 26, 1951; entering the United States in New
Jersey on January 7, 1952, and was subsequently naturalized
in Miami during 1958. He is presently employed as a
mechanic at Eastern Airlines, Miami, Florida . He related
he was born May 3 , 1924, in Austria .
PEYERL stated he has withheld this information
because he assumed the United States possessed it . He has
become increasingly concerned because of the unconfirmed
reports concerning a similar object and denials the United
States has such an aircraft . He feels such a weapon would
be beneficial in Vietnam and would prevent the further loss
of American lives which was his paramount purpose in contacting
the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI).
PEYERL reiterated he has the original negatives
of both photographs. He said the shots were taken at a thirty
second time exposure .
This document contains neither recommendations nor
conclusions of the FBI . It is the property of the FBI and is
loaned to your agency; it and its contents are not to be
distributed outside your agency.

Mr. Ad amski l aun ched the !GAP - International Get
Acquainted Pro gram - in 1959, based on the philosophy
that peop l e in all parts of the world should be given
the opportunity of knowing what is going on everywhere
in the field of fl yin g saucers. His hop e was that as
many as possibl e would discover the truth of the present age and turn to f ace the time to come - to learn
to accept, thro ugh conviction, the fact that we are all
citizens of the Cosmos and Children of the Cosmic Power whose Laws run through the entire Cosmos . These
Laws we can l earn to comprehend through study and
understand ing of the »Science of Life« brought to our
attention by the presence of friend ly visitors from other

at home and watch your favourite telev ision programme. Then you will forget all about it. But do
you ever wonder what becomes of old television
programmes - apart from the ones they show on
Sundays?! Do they just fade out and vanish - or
do they keep travelling through space for ever,
perhaps to be picked up by creatures on other
planets? Fantastic - - but scientists think it is possib le. After all , we here in Britain were able to
watch the Olympic Games in Japan vi a a satellite
in outer space.
»Some scientists even think that weird cracklings
and gibberish that occasionally come in on radio and
TV programmes are really pirate programmes from
other planets. And it is true that scientific listening
posts have taped some mighty odd sounds from
space which cou ld come from some sort of intelligence, somew here in the Universe.
»Back in September, 1953, viewers all over England were amazed when their screens suddenly
carried the identification card and call letters of
television station K LEE, in Houston, Texas. A freak
occurrence? - that ' s what the experts thought - until radio engineers tried to contact KL EE, thousands of miles away across the Atlantic. »Station
KLEE« , they were told , »has been off the air for
all of three years , and since that time no KLEE
identification card has been shown«. Where had
that phantom picture been for three years? Why
did it appear in Engl and? And how did it get back
from wherever it had been. Nobody knows . So if,
tonight , you shou ld see an unidentified object on

your screen - - -«
To Ufol og ists, the idea of watching a b lank television screen for such phenomena is not so far-out
- in fact, it might prove an interesting experiment
for those of us who be lieve such things are possible. Coupled with a te lepathic request to our
space friends, it might even produce results! Th at
the idea has some scientific backing is shown by
a recent article which appeared in the »Ottawa
Journal " viz :
»,, Live''

TV

Coming

from

Outer

Space? «

Salt Lake City (A P) - A distinguished British astro nomer, Dr. Fred Hoyl e, speaks of the possibility
of »live« TV from outer space. And by »live« he
means people - outer space people, people who
may li ve on p lanets 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 !ot
of other scientists .
»They think some of the radio waves hitting the
earth right now co ntain messages from those people
and there is some scie ntific effort under way to
decipher these messages , to tune into those radio
waves , waves whic h wou ld also transmit pictures .
»What cou ld we see and hear on this »ce lestial «
television? Hoyl e, in his new book, »Of Men and
Galaxies « (University of Washington Press) , says

ufo contact

some of these outer space c ivi li zations have evolved
further than we and would therefore be ab le to tell
us, for example, how to avoid a nuclear war« .
The Space Brothers Keep Their Word .
As predicted by the Space Brothers in earlie r
issues of Topside , they are keeping their promise
to make themse lves see n more and more by the
peop le of Earth . From the increased numb er of
reports of sightin gs and landings of UFO s 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 mo re
obvious that they are prepared to use every peaceful means within their co nsiderable power to ac hi eve
their mission of goodwi ll. Their purpose appears to
be two-fo ld : (1) To prevent a nuclear holocaust
which may not only destroy Pl anet Earth but also
pro duce dire resu lts on the ent ire Sol ar System
and perhaps even fu rther afield in Outer Space;
and (2) To enlighten their more backward Earth
Brothers as to t he urgent necessity of widening
their horizons to en compass knowledge and practice
of Cosmic Broth erhood, and the realization that
they have moral ob lig atio ns not only to their own
kind but to civil izat ions on other planets who may
have to suffer for Earth 's irresponsib le action s.
If the powers -that-be on Earth continue to coverup and disregard the co ntinued efforts of the Space
Brothers , then they may expect to receive even
more startling and dramatic visitati ons in the near
future.

" WE ARE NOT OPPOSED TO A COURT JESTER
on the gree n law ns of the Royal Pa lace, provided he
is not taken for an astronomical philosopher - - ".
H ere, with all the arrogance of the self-opinionated, se lf-appointed judge, in words of ignorance,
mated with bigotry and begotten of an infl ated egotis m, we see a smal l section of that vociferous but
often influ en ti al Pres s opinion which always swa llo ws
before it chews .
Th e occas ion was the much-publicised , much-criticised aud ience of Queen Juliana of the Netherland s
accorded to one George Adamski of California,
U.S. A ., at II a. m. on May 18th 1959, at Soestdijk
Palace, near Utrecht, H olland.
Th e vociferous Press op ini on in this in stance was
of the Catholic People 's Party newspaper, " D ie
Vo lkskrant " .
We could imagine the same self-elevated j ournalist writ in g: " We are not opposed to a court jester
in the private apartments at the Vatican, provided - -", on anoth er May day, of another 11 a.m. audience, much more secret, of much more potenti al
sig nifi cance , 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 wor ld's sensation t ab loids went to town. Lacki ng
the meat of the occasion on which to feast their
readers they gave them the bo nes and the offal , and
in the process they soi led and besmirched their own
honourab le professi on.
The seco nd audience was spared this treatment,
and still is.

The Editors.

And so we can perceive how some of George
Ad amski 's meetings with the famous received th e
ful l bl ast of pub licity, whilst others, conducted in a
secret undercurrent of diplomacy peopled with silent
couriers and intercontinental briefings , are still , very
much , " classified " .
Ad amski was NEVER afra id of the scoffers and th e
critics , still le ss of the faceless spokesmen in authority. With ene rgy which had to be see n to be believed, with courage of conviction based in sure
knowledge of hi s own exper iences , and with fortitude
d istill ed from the sweet and the sour of his supporters and hi s d et ractors , HE DIDN 'T GIVE A DA MN.
He could have written " pot-boilers " of spacefiction in his sunny California, like many of his contempora ries, maki ng a fortune from the credu lou s.
This is shown by the fact t hat his books became
world best-sel lers in many languages. Yet in 12 years
he only offered TWO AND A HALF BOOKS to the
genera l public. Do es this seem like a man who is
" on the make?"

113

No. Instead he pushed and shoved hi s way into t he,
many times , inhospitab le c lim ate of " expert " analysis
and cli ni ca l dissection, saying: " H ere is my evidence, here is my story - TAKE IT OR LEAVE IT! "
AND HE DIED, DOIN G JUST THAT .
What kept him going for so lon g? What kept the
flame so bright for those 12-13 long , bitter-sweet
years? H is tremendous sense of humour? YES! Hi s
many thousands of friends and supporters the world
over? YES, THESE ALSO!
But his faith in a DIVINE INTELLIGENCE and sure
knowledge of the existence and the helpful presence
friends from other planets in space , we re t he 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.
H e 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 t he Sisters,
those friends from across the seas of space , were
busy in their task of forging new links, reshaping
the pattern of their contacts with those close to
Adamski .
AS WI TH G EORG E ADAMS K I, the Brothers continu e to furnish ev id ence of their presence in our
skies. New films , start lin g in their c larity, are being
provided by G .A.'s Co-workers. New accounts of
recent contact with the men and women visiting us
are evide nce of their conti nu ed interest in our we lfare .
H ere, in this issue of UFO CONTACT, you will
see more photographic presentation of "Unidentified
Fl ying Obj ects " . In some strange fashion , by some
pec uliar " co-incidence ", another of G.A. 's close
associates is enabled to take start lin g movie-fi lm
shots of objects in the sky. With this new evidence
we sha ll show, too , how Adamski 's successors are
STILL pushing the experts, STI LL offering for examinati on photographic proof of " inexplicable phenomena" in the skies above us.
Th ere are always those who are ready to jeer and
deride . This is a peculiar facet of the human psychology which stems almost so lely from ignorance. Bu t ,
thank God, there are those also who , in the face of
public intolerance and apathy, are abl e to stand out
fro m the rest and say of the pioneer : " Give the man
his chance, let the man have his say".
As we have said a few words back, evidence is
stil l bei ng p1ovided of our extraterrestrial visitors '
presence on and above our planet. Th at this evidence remains a puzzle, - or gives the impression, at
least, of remaini ng a puzz le - to compete nt " experts ", despite public pronouncements made by the
head of Proj ect Bl ue Book, the U.S.A.F.' s UFO
ag enc y, that UFO's are NOT fro m Outer Space,

JUN E 1967.

Your Majesty,
We venture to approach you on a matter which we
believe wi ll be of some interest to you, the sub j ect
being one of immense importance, bearing as it does
imp li cat io ns 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 broug ht to You r Majesty's attent ion, and, we
understand , received caref ul consideration; in fact,
it is in t he be li ef that Yo ur Majest y 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
A damski, of California, at Soestdijk Palace. Mr.
A damski was at that time on a wor ld lecture-tour.
This gentleman had an unusual story to tell . He
spoke of visitations to this planet by human beings
from outer space. H e spoke of kind hum an bei ngs
who had travelled in their spaceships , often called
" flying saucers ", from their home planets in our
so lar system , from Venus , from Saturn, Mars and
others.
T heir understanding was far ahead of our own ,
their si ncere interest in our we lfare was part of a
philosophy of brotherhood and love for all of the
Creator' s W orks.
T his was George Adamski 's story.
In 1959, t he sub j ect of fl yi ng saucers was considered by the majority to be laughable. Any attempt
to discuss t he possibi lity of beings technologica ll y
superior to us, visiti ng Earth in space craft trave ll ing
at fantastic speeds, was t o dismiss all the sc ientif ic
concepts of the day. Indeed, in 1959, scientists were

only beginning to accept the remote possibility of
" some form " of life , - and a one-cell life, at that, existing anywhere at all outside of Earth . And any
suggestion that intelligent beings existed who had
progressed past the stages of wars and poverty and
racial intolerance, was to speak of H eaven itself.
Now, in 1967, many things have changed. The
maj ority still laughs, yes. B ut one sees in the everexpanding minority a level of radical but intelligent
thought which would have been branded a "heresy "
against the who le Establishment just a few years
ago. With our own greatly-increased space activity
and the near-proximity of an Earthman's landing on
the Moon , ideas have had to change along with the
immense changes in the means of travel.
What modern science has yet to discover, however, is an antidote to the enormously swo ll en ego
of " Earth - man " which has gained nothing from the
discoveries of Galileo other than a list of changed
astronomical data and some very basic facts concerning the solar system in which we live .
What they have not yet learned from the " heretica l" reve lations of Galileo is that scientific " fact "
of today is not necessarily scientific " fact " of tomorrow ; that they, too , these modern scientists, may
be called upon - and perhaps very soon - to change
all previous concepts of astro nomical physics and
to accept that Earth-man is not, after all , alone in
the Un iverse.
One of the pioneers in this school of thought was
George Adamski. Since his passing , in April 1965,
others have come forward to carry on his work .
Madam, on severa l occasio ns in the years since
1959, Mr. Adamski was give n t he opportu nity of photograp hing some of t hese space craft on movie-fi lm.
These films have been show n widely in the United
Stat es and in certain cou ntries in Europe. They have
been viewed by persons in authority, including experts in many fie lds , as well as by millions of the
general pub lic by way of television.
The extraterrestria l human beings of whom Mr.
Adamski spoke are still operating in the same pattern . Severa l of his helpers have been privi leged to
meet these people. New co lour movies have been
taken of the ir ships, on occasion with th e deliberat e
connivance of the pi lots of the craft concerned .
An American lady, Mrs . Madelei ne Rodeffer, and
two Germanborn , naturalised Americans , Mr. and
Mrs. Fred Steck ling, have been privi leged not on ly
to meet these friends from other planets but they
have also been enabled to photograph t he movement
of their craft on colour-film .
All of th ese fil ms have been viewed by perso ns
in authority, including photographic experts of
t he U.S . Nat ional A ero naut ics and Space A gency,
(NASA), and they have yet to be faulted .
Madam, the reason for our approach in this Open
Letter is this. Having heard from Mr. Adamski firsthand of hi s experiences, wou ld Your Majesty care
once more to hear of the visitations of the Brothers
and Sist ers who befriended hi m? They have made
themselves known to others ; there are courageous

messages to trusted UFO worke rs on Earth, and
for other specific purpo ses. Most of us have re ad
accounts written by people claiming to have received messages , both garbled and clear, from the
Space Brothers via ham radios , tensor-coil experi ments, etc. , or of seeing spacemen or other unidentified phenomena on their television screens. There
was one amusing story of a man who fe ll asleep
whi le watching a late, late movie on television and
awoke several hours later to find himself stari ng
at a strange, other-wor ld face on his TV screen!
He was so sc ared , he snapped off the TV set and sold it the next day! Then there are cases of
people hearing messages and celestia l music on
the ir tape recorders. Only recently, Fate magazine
publ ished a letter received from Myra Dee H ina of
Sacrame nto , 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 brandnew tape bought at a local store, she proceeded
to pick the notes out on an organ and sing them
on to the tape . She goes on to say: »I then went
to turn off the tape recorder and fou nd it had stopped. I reset it and played the notes over again .
Whe n I returned to t he 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 co ndition existed, I stood
and let the machine run on. When I no longer fe lt
the force fie ld, I ran the tape back to replay. My
voice was c lear, the notes were clear - but I was
shocked beyo nd words when a beautiful orchestra
began playing the very theme I had created. it
lasted a long per iod, over 35 minutes. It is poss ible
that t he 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'c lock
midnight. I've tried to repeat this strange incident
several times , but nothing has happened . In addi tion to the music on the tape, a voice speaks in
a language I never heard before. Several persons
who have li ste ned to the tape say they have a weird
feeling whi le it is playing «.

A Warning V ia Ham Rad io.

Whi le, even wit h an open mind, we cannot, understandab ly, vouch for the veracity of all these
claims , we can quote a coup le of experiences of
this nature which happened to our founder, the
late Wi lbert 8 . Sm ith , during his long and intensive
study of the UFO Mystery.. W BS, as most of you
know, was fi rst and foremost a scientist, and he
never accepted anything without carefu l checks and
cross -checks and only by this method was he reasonably sure of his ground . But undoubtedly, he
received c lear-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

139

sources was a local ham radio operator who, it
must be clearly stressed , knew little if anything
about Mr. Smith 's work or scientific experiments
and most of the messages he received for Wi lbert
Smith , on an unidentified waveband, were completely unintelligible to hi m - althoug h they made a lot
of sense to WBS.
By this means and with t he usual , requested confirmation from other sources , Wilbert Smith received
a lot of invaluab le gu idance in his scie nt ific work.
The most dramatic incident, however, occurred when
WBS and a small work ing party of th e then Ottawa
Flying Saucer Club were preparing to test out an
exper imental mach ine th ey had bui lt. Just prior to
this test, the Boys from Topside broke into the
ham radio operator's listening , blanking out all
other stations and repeating insistently that they
had an urgent message for Wi lbert Smit h which
the operator was to pass on to him without delay and this he did. Th e message, couched in scientific
terms , might be translated into layman ' s language
as saying that a certai n fl ywhee l in t he experi menta l
machine would not stand t he stress of the r.m .p.
about to be placed on it and t hat it wou ld shatter
under the strain ; precaution should be taken. Heeding t hi s adv ice , W BS and his co -workers bui lt a
protective woode n covering around the machine,
after wh ich they set it in motion and, as predicted,
the flywheel shattered , embedding the wooden
boards with its shrapne l !
Intervention on a Tape Recording.

Another strange experience occ urred duri ng an
exchange of tape recording letters between WBS
and another UFO worke r in the U.S . At the time,
WBBS was in possession of certain scientific data
which the Boys from Topside had asked hi m to
keep confidential for the time being . Inadvertently,
W BS, more by implication t han d irect state men t,
let slip a few clues to this scientific problem in
a tape-letter to his co ll eague . A week or so later,
he received the tape back from his friend , with a
message aski ng if he would fi ll in t he blank spaces
on the tape. Puzzled, WBS examined the tape carefully and played it over, onl y t o discover that in
the places where he had let slip the tell-tale clues ,
the sound had been neatly erased and there was a
slightly sticky substance on the tape in these areas!
The on ly possible conc lusion he could reach was
that it was the work of the Boys from Topside.
H ere the n, are two au t hentic cases of t he Space
Brothers using our electronic equipment for a specific purp ose.
Use of Television.

Recently, the English magazine »Week -End « carried the following article, and whi le it is wr itten in
a humorous, tongue-in -cheek vein , its writer may
have been a lot closer to the trut h than he imagined! To quote : »T onight you wi ll probably sit down

photosynthetic process to produce at least simple
plant forms.
" The significance of my findings , if correct ", Dr.
Johnson declared, " is that a case for life chemistry
in space can not only be inferred but t he end product can be looked upon as a form of life similar
to that on earth " .
Johnson made his discoveries by observing the
spectral lines of light absorption of interstellar dust.
He found that the dust absorbed light at a certain
range of wavelength.
Identifying an element or compound by spectral
information is similar to identifying a human by his
fingerprints .
It has been known that star-light contains many
colors. Scie ntists also know that molecules or atoms
in the path of star-light are capable of absorbing a
part of it.
This means that individual molecules can be identified positively by the particular spectra l portion of
the light they absorb on a one-to-one basis.

IN MILLIONS .
Previous like studies of spectral lines indic ated
the presence of hydrocarbons. But since the combinations of known hydrocarbon compounds extends
into the millions, further extensive study was required
to identify the major components of dust from this
spectral information.
Random testing of the possible hydrocarbon components of the interstellar dust would take several
lifetimes. By systematic elimination of possibilities,
Dr. Johnson reduced the field to porphyrins and
carbotenoids , which are closely associated with
chlorophyll. He compared the absorption band spectra of these substances in laboratory conditions simulating the extra-terrestrial environments of the dust
and found that they matched.
Further investigation through both spectroscopic
studies and lasar research at the Electro-Optical
Systems revealed the substance in question to be
chlorophyll.
If some of this dust should reach a planet like
Mars, could the chlorophyll photosynthesize?
" We have indications that life started here (on
earch) from outside ", Dr. Johnson declared. " The
same thing could happen there " .
To illustrate the point, Dr. Johnson said he conducted some experiments on rocks estimated to be
4½ bil lion years old. H e found porphyrins, a " skeleton " form of chlorophyll.
Dr. Johnson speculated that the same mechanism condensation of dust into meteors, which are then
attracted to planets - can be at work now as well as
in the past when earth was born.

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

people stil l who battle against great odds for what
they know to be right.
We believe that, with Your Majesty's approval,
further evidence can be produced for your consideration which will help greatly your understanding of
these matters, thereby encouraging others to seek
the truth of these visitations from outer space. It is
our sincere belief that there is far too much at stake
for the world to continue to supress or ignore news
of events of such magnitude.
Should Your Majesty so desire, George Adamski 's
friends would be honoured to tell their own stories
and show their own films in Your Majesty's presence.
With respect,

The evidence of the
quiet contacts
by RONALD CASWELL.
" TH EY ' LL NEV ER GET CLOSE ENOUGH when
I've got this in my hand , you know, Ronald ", said
Fred with some conviction, looking down at the
gleaming object he held on his knee . He had a
slightly rueful smile on his face. He reminded me of
a youngish Bob Hope in looks except that his nose
was not so sharp and his face a little more rounded.
" It's a power zoom lens, see. It's fully automatic. They know that if I get them on this, NO-ONE will
be able to deny it".
We sat near to the open French window of the
lounge with the sun streaming in, I on the comfortable old settee, Fred on a highbacked chair, one
knee crossed over the other , looking thoughtfully at
his own fingers idly adjusting the lens-piece of the
cine-camera.
May Morie! was somewhere in the house, probably
ringing through to some of the guests we were expecting later in the day - or maybe she had driven
into Antwerp with Ingrid , Fred ' s wife , who had a
hairdressing appointment that afternoon. Tomorrow
we were to run through to The Hague to meet some
of our Dutch friends who were arranging Fred 's lecture and film-show there.
Hans was about somewhere in the big old house.
He had arranged for a few days ' leave and travelled
down from Copenhagen some days before. Hans is
Major Petersen of the Royal Danish Air Force, organiser of the European and Asian sections of IGAP.
He may never live it down , but, much-travelled man
that he is, he had left his passport back home! He
gave a huge chuckle as he described to us how he
had managed to talk himself across the German
frontier. Luckily his wife had now sent the passport
on.
I had flown across to Brussels a few days before,
on September 1st, and drank coffee in the airport
lounge with Pat Morie!, May's elder son, whilst we

waited an hour or so for the Steckling ' s plane to
come in from Washington, via New York and Cologne. They were flying LUFTHANSA.
Patrick had them paged as the Cologne flight began to stream into the arrival bay, everyone on the
look-out for the baggage coming up on the wide
moving belt from below. Mrs. Suzy Peeters, May's
lifelong friend , and Treasurer for the Belgian groups,
arrived in her tiny Volksvagen and smiling ly greeted
us, together with Philip, May's younger son, who had
been filming the aircraft from the airport roof. We
were all old friends . Suzy was to help with extra
transport back to Antwerp.
We looked at the peop le 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 barriers, some hurrying , some looking lost, others being
greeted enthusiastically by waiting friends . The huge
hall rang with sound , and above all were the disembodied voices speaking loftily from many hidden
loudspeakers. We wondered what Fred and Ingrid
would look like.
A neat-looking couple with a boy of about seven
spoke to one of the clerks at the inquiries desk.
They turned and faced us as the man pointed our
way.
Fred was about 5 feet 10, Ingrid about 5-7. Glenn
was looking around him at the high roof of the foyer.
Ingrid was an attractive young woman with natural
blonde hair, slim and wearing a white , two-piece suit.
She did not look the type one would expect to see
at a special private meeting of members of the
United States Senate Aeronautics and Space Committee.
Fred seemed a rather serious-faced young man.
Both were in their early thirties. Both were Germanborn, naturalised Americans . They had lived in Canada for some time prior to their arrival in the
States. Only little Glenn 's voice was totally American .
So this was Fred Steckling , the young man who
had not wished to " take over", as George Adamski
had hoped during the last few days of his illness in
Washington. D.C. As Fred said , no-one could take
G.A.'s place. So it was left at that. And George had
died, not knowing. Or did he know, that wise old
man?
Madeleine and Fred and Ingrid had just gone on
working as before, on ly much harder. Telling G.A.'s
story, showing his films , bothering the officials on
Capitol Hill . And now they had Madeleine Rodeffer's
film to show as well, the amazing close-up shots of
the scout-craft hovering over her " front yard", which
was in reality , the long sloping, grassy bank running
from her house down to the road . At the most, a
hundred feet in the air, level with the tall tree-tops.
Madelei.ne and Ingrid had faced a chilly reception
committee at the private Senate hearing of January
1965, a couple of months before George died ; and
at the end of the showing of George 's film sequences and a 45-minute verba l barrage from some sarc-

astic senators, Madeleine, who had worked in a Governme nt offic e for many yea rs, just stood up and
to ld them that she wouldn 't like to be in THEI R
shoes when people found out what was being kept
from them.
Did they think the pub lic was blind?
Many had seen the planes chasing the saucers.
Even children.
And Madeleine had come out of the committeeroom seething with anger. A few weeks afterwards
she had filmed a scout-ship over her own "front
yard ".
Fred loos ened up a little as we sped along the
road Brussels-Antwerp. Patrick, who studied at
Brussels University, and who himself lectured on
flying saucers , was a good driver, but fast!
" Madeleine was at the airport as we left Washing ton. Oh , and Lind a, her friend , was with her. You
know, that young woman who had some sightings.
She ' s written to you , I think . A nice girl. There were
two Brothers standing back a bit in the crowd. Th ey
weren 't with Madeleine. Maybe she knew they were
there. "
He went on talking about some of the Brothers he
had met. Ingrid joined in occasionally , her eyes
bright and shi ning.
" Oh , Ronald!" she said , in her Ge rman -accented
American , drawling the words. " If you only could
meet them! There is this wonderful feeling of goodness that seems to reach out to you. "
Fred's rather serious face relaxed a little as he
spoke. One could see he was no fanatic. Fred Steckling and Ingrid were not mon ey-g rabbing "contactees " making a fast buck. Th ey spoke quietl y, but
forcefully at times. Perhaps Fred could not quite
shake off this fee ling of having to convince someone
all the time.
" Ronald ," he said , after a rather long , somewhat
tired silence. Th ey'd been trave ll ing for many, many
hours . " Ron ald, do you know, it 's just as if they have
our frequencies. I had a birthday a while back -"
Ingrid was about to burst in with wife-like enthusiasm
but Fred 's vo ice stopped her. " I had a birthday a
while back," Fred went on. " Ingrid and I were watching T .V. I don 't re member the show. Suddenly -"
and again Ingrid was bursting with agreement,
"- sudden ly it went doot-di-di-doot-doot, on the T .V.
just li ke that, maybe ten or a dozen times . Doot-didi-doot-doot. Ingrid and I just looked at each other and then we both DASHED out onto the porch ."
Patrick swerved among the traffic on a bumpy
patch of road .
" Th ere over the house was the saucer. It just
swayed there, back and forward . Th en it seemed to
swing down low as the light showed from the porch
and then shot off over in the direction of Washington Airport. "
Ingrid cou ldn 't hold herself any longer. " And do
you know, Ron ald !" she burst in, "Made leine had the
same thing happen on her birthday! Lin da 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 , g lowing light swaying over the house! "
Fred smiled knowingly .
" You can bet, they 've got our wave-lengths! " he
sa id .
As we looked out at May's long lily-pond in the
spacious lawn , the big , leafy trees almo st overhanging the house and splashing the ground wit h shadow,
Fred gave a little laugh to himself and glanced up
at me. He was so often serious , especially whe n he
talked to the people who gathered at May's house,
guests, reporters etc, - it was nice to see him with
a, somewhat twisted , grin . There were no gimmicks
with Fred.
" I saw a saucer c lose overhead so me wh il e ago. The re 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 t he dust-cap on! "
He told me of his talks with the Brothers.
" D'you know, Ronald , when you ' re with them , you
don 't ASK questions. You don 't think of it. You just
listen. It's as if you are not meant t o ask of things
maybe they don 't want you to know ."
Fred bit his lip thoughfully.
" One of them I can see severa l times a week. I
know where he 's working. I can tell you what sort
of work he does, but not where. " Fred told me.
" It 's onl y 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 bee n delayed. H ans and I had
had to change our bookings . Fred had told me on
the trip up from the airport how so meone, - 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 mon ey." Fred works
at an hotel in Virgini a, near where he lives .
Th e strange thing was that Fred had previously
had credit arrangeme nts with the same bank, and
had had no bother. Maybe someone had tried to stop
his trip to Europe. It had taken seve ral days to c lear
up the matter.
He was speaking first in Antwerp , stayi ng with
May for some days, then Th e Hague, then Frankfurt
and Mannheim, then in Austri a - Vienna and Linz then on to West Berlin for the last six days to stay
with his family.
Whether Fred was helped with money at the German or Austrian lectures, I don 't know. I know he
received noth ing in Antwerp and Den H aag, except
hospitality from good friends . That certainly did not
pay the Steckli ngs fare across the Atl antic.
Fred ' s fi rst lecture was on the eve nin g of our arrival in Antwerp , at May Morlet's home. Of the 50-60
in the aud ien ce, which included reporters , I noticed
a young woman. I sh al I not describe her.
Late r that night, in fact at 3.30 in the morning , we had sat t alking , all of May's house-guests, until
the sma ll hours, as we were to do every night of our
visit - I walked with Ha.ns Peterse n around some

There is no doubt that a great number of the
meteoric falls actually are remains of " natural "
objects in space - but not by any means all of them .
No doubt also , some of the falls of ice are from
aircraft de-icing or breaking off by some oth er
me ans; the theory about ice from the toilets is very
doubtful , but even if we g iv e this theory a certain
chance , t hen it still explains on ly a very small part
of the total number of reported falls.
Until the Rocket- age 's attempts to explain co nditions in the Space around us began, a remarkab le
attitude prevailed within certain scientific circ les in
regard to that Space.
Earth was t he navel of the C osmos , around whi ch
and abo ut which everything turn ed . The moon and
the planets and the stars were hung in the sky for
Earth's sake , and between all the bodies outside of
Earth ' s atmo sp here was this great empty Space, in
which was to be found - absolutely nothing.
But the rockets told another story - they had been
out there. We can say then , that now it is proven
th at Space is not empty. Am ong ot her thing s, dust
has been ·registered. And it has become dusty in the
space-capsule whe n t he capsu le door has stood
open.
It is prove n also, th at certain chemical reac tion s
can, in the course of a few seconds , form solid
matter. (Ein stein) .
As all the planets are born in the same Cosmos,
this means to say th at the same elements or units
which make up the "creation " are to be fou nd in
invisible form in t hi s so-cal led empty Space. It
" only" needs the right c hemi cal reaction to take
place for the who le to take solid form and to build
up as planets, co mets, meteor ites or ice - or for th at
matter, as many other things .

other planets , just as " their bacteria" has been a
lon g , long wh il e living with us .
Thu s there exists great unexplored areas of research with which science can come to grips and
learn from ; and when , fina ll y, these are explained ,
th e next natural step wil l be to lea rn how one can
come to live without being " infected " by bacteria.
We are on the way; but for a while yet we shall
be " infected " by bacteria, and be lieve that we can
" infect" our siste r planets ' inhabitants with our bacteri a. For a while yet we shall only find meteorites
that originate from planets, comets or asteroids, and
ice which falls from the toi let-systems of airp lanes .

Here, in a report just rece ived from the United

of research mentioned in the afore-going artic le . With

»L.A. Man finds Life in Space«

An d it will be en orm ous ly difficult, - yes, almost
impossible, - to differentiate between what are remains of solid bod ie s, such as pl anets , comets or
asteroids, and what is produced by some other
means. One might point to evidence of bacteria, but
this ju st will not do, bec ause bacteria can be gathered up fr om anywhere in the Cosmos. For example,
our planet , j ust the same as other planets , has,
during its journ ey through space , trailed behind itself
a long t ail of dust and bacteria. This du st and th ese
bacteri a 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.

THERE IS LIFE IN SPACE!
Ch lorophy ll , key compound of life on earth , exists
abundantly in outer space.
Th ese findings have bee n reported to a gathering
of experts on A stro nomy and B iodynamics meeting
at the University of California at Berke ley by Dr.
Fred Johnson of El ectro -Optical Systems in Pasadena.
Based on his findings , Dr. Johnson told the Berkeley colloquium the possibility th at man is not alone
in the universe is excellent.
Th e physicist, astronomer and biochemist told the
Berke ley sessions , wh ich opened Friday, that aft er
13 years of research he had been able to identify
interstellar dust and had fou nd it is composed largely of the solid molecul ar substance chlorophyl l and
not ice or graphite as had been prev iously believed.
" There is no reason to believe that we on thi s
planet are unique", Dr. Johnson told the HeraldExaminer. " Th ere is very good evidence, on the
other hand, that there may be simi lar form s of life
throughout the universe ".
Dr. Johnson reported that although interstellar dust
is very small wit h each grain havin g an average
density of 10 to 26 grams per cubic centimeter, he
specu lates that th roug h condensation this dust eventually forms meteorites which are dense enough to
be attracted to a p lanet.

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

SIMPLE PLANTS.
These meteorites, he said, then deposit the life

It is therefore quite plain to see that science can,
and must, soon add a new c hapter to that book about
the " factua l" conditions in Space, which it is writing

" 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 th at the following correlation
shou ld be made. But I must stress, I try very hard
not to be biased, science is far more interesting
left as it is . Therefore I am sincere in my next analysis. I trust the reader will be, too. I have purposely
chosen the following title for the evidence which I
hope may help shed some truer light on one who
may be a very maligned man ."
UNQUOTE.
Yes , the " very maligned man " is George Adamski.
12 years ago Leonard G. Cramp produced the
orthographic projections which showed how young
Stephen Darbishire's "Coniston" saucer, as photographed, was identical · in shape and proportion to
Ad amski 's classic " scout-craft" .
Today, in his book " Piece For A Jig-s aw", Mr.
Cramp produces start lin g evidence of a highly-technical nature which shows how, following along purely
engineering principles as a result of analyses of
hundreds of reported saucer-sightings, with accomp anyin g detail of manoeuvre and flight patterns, he
arrives at the ideal form , in all respects, for a visiting " saucer" . Th e saucer he finally produces, after
progressive line-drawings and photographs by the
score, is the Adamski scout-craft.
In his concluding chapter, not only does the author
quote details of engineering data provided by Adamski in his controversial books , but Mr. Cramp confesses that, until the time of writing this last chapter,
he had not yet read completely Adamski 's " In side
The Space Ships " ! Realising perhaps certain readers' scepticism about this belated admission, Mr.
Cramp goes on to describe points outlined in that
book concerning Adamski 's alleged trips in the
scout-craft, whereby his (Cramp 's) own scientifically
arrived-at data receives startling corroboration!
" At this juncture I can almost hear many an Adamski sceptic breathing a sigh of incredulity, hard ly
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 "sa ucer " manoe uvres and flight, and
accompanied by scores of finely-executed line-drawings, Leonard Cramp provides food for thought for
all those of an open mind.
H ere, biased or un-biased as we may seem , we
wou ld like to recommend to other biased and unbiased UFO rese arc hers one of the best flying saucer
contributions sin ce " Inside The Space Ship s"! Th at
the author is not biased can be witnessed by the
360 pages of this book which are not about George
Adamski.
In express in g the hope that certain UFOiogist

sceptics will not now refrain from purchasing and
re ad ing this excellent book, we would like to conclude with an excerpt from the summing-up by Leonard G. Cramp himself.
" Out of the confusion and the shadow surrou nd ing
this most enigmatic of flying saucer contact sto ries,
emerges one or two, but nevertheless very important
facts.
(a) Adamski type saucers are not uncommon
among UFO reports .
(b) On purely engineering grounds the configuration of the "scout ship" offers the best al/round comprom is e which could embody the
functions required by the gravitational propulsion theory.
(c) Adamski 's description of inside a saucer is
not inconsistent with the theory, on the contrary, theory seems to support it.
(d) Thus on these grounds alone I for one feel
inclined to accept the first part of his experience as fact, and in my opinion any inconsistencies which appear in hi s subsequent
claims are insufficient to invalidate the previous conclusions. "

Out of the clear, blue sky
by MAJOR H. C. PETERSEN .
WE ALL KNOW of accounts of objects which,
during the past couple of hundred years , have been
reported as falling down from the sky, - and, often
enough, from a c lear, cloudless sky.
Scie ntists and other experts have soug ht to explain such " falls " as meteorites, meteors, or - nowadays - as something in connection with flying , atomic tests or the like .
In the book " Le Matin des Magiciens", by the
Frenchmen, Louis Pauwels and Jacques Bergier, volume One gives reference to 40,000 notations of falls
of such extraordinary things.
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
aste roids. Th e ice comes from ai rpl anes - either
formed outward ly or from the toilet.

H ans had suggested a walk before turning in . It was
our first opportunity to talk alone together since our
meeting in Denmark three or four weeks before.
H e also wanted to tell me somethi ng . About a
young lady of rather special appearance who had ,
during the course of th e evening , moved out of the
audience and was sitti ng on a settee very close to
the speaker's table. Just before th e guests left, some of them were unknown to May Morlet - the
young woman spoke a few words with Hans.
" Ron ", said H ans, " I am wondering about that
young woman."
Some days after Fred and Ingrid and Glenn had
left Vienna for Berlin , for a very short family re-union ,
the Co -workers receive d a letter from our Austrian
friend and Co-worker, Dora Bauer, who told us of the
lectures Fred had given in Vienna and Linz. She also
wrote th at Fred had told her of two space people,
a Brother and a Sister, who were at May's house on
that first evening - And going through G ermany he had filmed a
strange formation in the sky. It was on September
7th 1966.
In Febru ary this year I received photostats of correspondence and some still pictures from the film
that Fred Steckling took whilst travelling by train
between Mannheim and Frankfurt, in West Germany.
Th e sti ll s he had obtained by photographing from
the screen , he said. He did not dare have the stills
professionally made. (Both George Adamsk i and Madeleine Rodeffer have had "ac cidents " happe n to
film in the past. A greater part of the Rodeffer closeup saucer film was stole n from an hotel room when
G.A. was taking the original to be copied . Copies
of his own film lo aned to T.V. net-works and ot hers
have returned badly disfigured with c hem ica ls, "with
great regret -")
A letter from Fred to Thom as G. Corbin , MajorGeneral U.S.A.F. Director Legislative Liaison , Department of the Air Force, Washington , D.C ., read:
" De ar Sir,
While wit h my family in Germany September 7,
1966, I had the rare opportunity to film a " A rmada"

Of the visit, whic h took place in Building A.I. at
10.30 a.m . on February 27th 1967, Fred said this:
"- We to ok Madeleine along so the 22 NASA offici als could see G .A .'s and her film , too. They seemed to be quite impressed, but would not make an
open statement concerning the film, naturally. The
2 hour meeting took place in Building A.I. They
treated us very nice and seemed to know much more
of what we had to show and tell. One thing they
sa id , however, and that is concerning Dr. Hynek. His
swamp-gas explanations are nonsens e, we were told .
" But despite the evidence of the 3 films they still
wou ld like to have more positive proof, we were to ld,

not able to te ll us just where these strange crafts
come from otherwise. But they were quite impressed
about the exact form ation of the many ships on the
film of Sept. 7th. 66. Reflection , any fake, and cloud
formation, including Skyriders, was ruled out. It left
only 23 feet of UFO's .
" They said nothing abo ut G .A .'s film and on Madeleine 's th ey commented , - the ship is smaller, and

we were tre ate d very nice and in respect, - one
person said to Ingrid , you have something there , meaning the films " I could see that they had much knowledge , but
could not give themselves away. They did not ridicule us, nor the films , nor the whole UFO idea. I
did not go to NASA to convince them, but to consult them ."
He added:

Later, I received a fuller description of events.
" When I took the film September 7th, we were
between Mannheim and Frankfurt traveling North. The
time was about 11.45 a.m., no clouds, about seventy
degrees, Fahre nheit. Although power-lines and trees
were flying by, while I took the film , If there was a
station it surely swished by so fast that it was impossible to make out any signs, etc. In this case you
have to take my word for it. I was already before
alerted of the Brothers before the film , and bec ame
aware of a group of 10 to 12 cigarette shaped
objects high in 'the sky (12 o 'clock up.) I jumped
back to grab the camera, a 8 mm Revere , 30 mm
powerzoom, Chicago build and opened the window
all the way to eliminate any reflections and started
filming. All in all , 6 groups of ten to twelve spacecraft appeared one after another and moved along
the sky like Dol phins in the water, as an example.
Appearing and disappearing, the armada traveled to
about 9 o' clo ck (posit ion) and disappeared completely, giving me the privilege to take about 23 feet of
Kodak color film.
" There were quite some people on the train , some
of them looki ng out of their windows , becoming
aware of the objects . As we could see they all had
big question-marks on their faces. They had never
seen anything like this before. I might add , there
was no fe ar on their faces . Ingrid and myself also
Glenn, we co :dd hardly believe it, ever to be presented with such an opportunity of taking that many
ships on film and all at once . We stood on the window, Ingrid saying only, " oh , my God " and our every
hair was standing up at this wonderful sight. We will
never forget this experience and are surely grateful
for it. -"

At that time the A ir Force termed the Heflin picture a hoax.
The " Bluebook" report said Heflin 's photo did not
correspond to his description of the round, saucerlike object.
But since then the Air Force has commissioned
the independent study by the University of Colorado
at Boulder.

Two policemen saw an oval-shaped object flash
through the sky yesterday. The officers said the
saucer-like object flew over Strood, Kent, at about

Andrew, the eight-year-old son of Mr. and Mrs.
T. H. Hyde, of 59 Scotgate, Stamford , c laims to
have see n a " flying saucer" over Stamford on Tuesday. A ug. 2. He was in his back garden at the time,
and t his is how he sketched and described what he
saw:
" I saw this object in the sky twice this morning
between about half-past ten and a quarter to eleven.
It was going very quickly above the clouds . The
first time I saw it, it was travelling in a N. W .
direction, and then about ten minutes later it came
back.
" It was then going in a S. E. direction, and it
made no sound. the shape was round , with black
circ les looking like ship 's port- holes round the
middle. There were little things looking like landing
wheels on the bottom.
" There was a cloud of yellow stuff coming out
of the back and there was a ring round the middle
of the object.''

Literature
»Piece for a jig- saw«
By LEONAR D G. CARM P., M.S.I.A. A.R.Ae .S.
author of " Sp ace, Gravity and the
Flying Saucer.''
Here is a book about " flying saucers " which can
be of immense interest to both the »converted " and
to the " open - minded ", to the lay-person looking for
more corroboration to back up his beliefs in the
reality of visiting space-ships, and to the technicallymi nded man w ho may wel l be rather surprised at the
wealth of detail of a highly technical nature included
in this work.
Leonard Cramp , who for many years has worked
in both aerodynamics and , more recently, with the
new design principles of the Hovercraft, has succeeded in writing a bookunderstood , by any person
of normal intelligence who can read the En glish
language .
" Piece For A Jig-saw" does, in truth , offer a piece
- a very large piece - of that enigmatic jig-saw
puzzle which has undulated and returned along 180
degrees through head-lines of the world ' s press for
the past 20 years . Cramp himself has worked on
material for this book for over half that time. It is
12 years since he submitted to the pu blic "Space,
Gravity and the Flying Saucer "; - this book is a
natural and e levating follow -up.
Written in a style which is as open and as lacking
in pomposity as the author himself, one finds a pattern developing from each chapter to the next, as he
takes us from his brief but concise "back ground
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 C ramp
brings us down - not in a capsule supported by
great billowing parachutes, but gently landing in a
field , any field , ready for instant take-off to a far-off
hovering mother-ship.
At least, the mother-ship is there by implication,
because Mr. Cramp, as he says , having " set myself
the task of discovering the truth as an engineer",
arrives, after a volume full of investigation and experimentation, at the last chapter which is entitled:
" Vindication Of A Scout Ship.''
The last paragraph of the seco nd from last chapter
might well sum up a very large part of the UFO
story. It also sums up the author, a man who succeeded in forming a large group of UFO enthusiasts
from a very hard core of technology, men who know

ities of the dark shape behind them. There was a
tiny white light behind which did not seem to be alt•
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 b lack winglike thing which made no noise. Then she suddenly
thought " Surely it can 't be a plane, this low. Perhaps it is a flying saucer". The size of the 2 colored
lights was small, about the size of ordinary car
blinker-lights . If the witness had stopped to investigate, this could have been a most important sighting.
Unfortunately, she preferred to continue on her way,
and thus lost a great opportunity.
Thursday April 13th around 8.15 p.m ., Victoria's
lights suddenly all dimmed for a coup le of seco nds,
and at that moment, witnesses in town chanced to
see a colored object streak across the sky. The
Press tried to ' explain ' this dimming to lightning up
at Campbell River, some 200 miles away: this , however, would seem unconvincing, in view of the numerous past cases where a certain type of UFO has
repeatedly caused the dimming , and indeed the
blackout, of electric lights in widely separated areas.
It is also well-known to researchers that other types
of UFO 's do not affect electr ical install ation: on the
other hand, it is possible that all UFO's may have
the abi lity to affect such installations, or to refrain
from doing so , at will .

Nr. 1. " This photograph of a strange space object
was taken by Dr. Jose A. Lanuza, professor at the

above the Valley of Mexico. It shows in our sky the
presence of another flyi ng object. It is of a circular
shape and has in its upper part a transparent dome.
The ship seemed to be made of some metal of
aluminium color."
Nr. 3. " This UFO photo was taken by Dr. Lanuza
at a distance of about 100 metres from the machine

and only a few metres above the surface of Mexico

Flying saucers are seen in clear daylight
They were observed near Montevideo .
Montevideo (UPI) - Unidentified Flying Objects
were observed in this capital in clear daylight, stated
the director of the Astronomical Observatory ANTARES , Juan Reyes Febles, who succeeded in taking
21 co lor photos of said objects.
He added that from one saucer were ejected into
space some smaller objects of the same shape
whose co lors varied from blue to violet and orange.
According to Mr. Reyes and other w itnesses ' observations is was an oval UFO seen at a height of
about 6 km to the North of the City. It had an indented rim . One could see a dark dome with a disti nctly white rim and one open porthole in the upper
part.
Fina ll y Reyes said: " It cou ld be proved that it was
a " mothersaucer", i.e. , a giant space-ship which
ejected from its interior other little ships that shot
away at a vertiginous speed " .
The sight ing was made the day before yesterd ay
and lasted for one hour and 40 minutes. "
(We should remind readers that this sighting was
made from an astronomical observatory, and that an
open porthole at a height of 6000 metres or 20,000
feet cou ld we ll be in view with certain types of
telescopes . Whether it was in fact a porthole that
was open at that cold height and in that thin air
might be a point of conjecture perhaps, but we are
not reckoning with terrestrial aircraft here, of course.

-*»Convincing« UFO pictures
SANTA ANA. - A University of Colorado professor
conducting a study of unidentified flying objects says
that " Photographic evidence of UFOs, when avail ab le, is very convincing. "
Robert J. Low, project co-ordinator of a Government-sponsored UFO study, is in Santa Ana to study
a controversial 1965 UFO photo previously discredited by the Air Force.
Low termed the picture, taken by Rex Heflin of
Santa Ana, as "among the top four or five " items of
photographic evidence of UFOs.
Heflin, 37, a project inspector for the Orange
County H ighway Department, took his picture August
3, 1965, just off the Santa Ana freeway.

then you may talk about my contacts in connection
with G. A. Ronald , I cannot tell you what to do, for
you must use your own judgement in this matter.
When ever you feel to use it then go ahead and do
so. I am not afraid to face the people or what ever

UNQUOTE.
That is the story of the Quiet Contacts .
Why have I to ld you all this? Because I know that
those who re ad these words will feel the sincerity
of Fred and /1,grid Steckling , and of Madeleine Rodeffer.
The sceptics talk always of peop le " making a fast
buck ". Maybe they are right about some. But not
about the Steck lings or Madeleine. They are losing
money fast, but they are doing the job that Georg e
Adamski left them to do, with steadfastness and courage.
What is the lesson from this?
First, - you will make up your own minds as to the
truth of their stories, - as George Adamski said so
often : " I'm not here to convince you , - just to tell
you ."

Second, - you are invited to look again at the
picture wh ich 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 .
MAD ELEIN E RODEF FER was enab led to take closeup shots of a flying saucer over her garden . This
was arranged with the Brothers, and she was expecting 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 STECK LI NG has taken a unique movie-film
which has impressed NASA's photographic experts
and the men at the Pentagon. H e has met the
Brothers.
Can it be CO-INC IDENCE all the time? Can they
FAKE unique and impressive evidence A LL TH E
TIM E?
At this point I might add that whilst George Adam·
ski was on his 1959 wor ld-tour, many separate witn•
esses in Australi a and New Zealand reported activities and formations of saucers over some of the very
cities and towns where G .A. lectured.
All this is for the record .

29 sight U FO's over W hite
Sands Range
by Dorrance Guy.
A lamogordo , N.M. - At least 29 White Sands Missile
Range personnel were eyewitnesses to one or more
Unidentified Flying Objects between 10.30 and 11
a.m. Thursday.
News concerning the UFOs has been cutoff by
orde rs from the Pe ntago n.
A ll service personnel and civilians working for the
services have been forbidden to discuss the sightings.
An investigation is under way at Holloman Air
Force Base, N.M ., with Maj . James Stephens , UFO
officer, in charge. He, too , is not allowed to discuss
the sightings.
Terry Clark, president and general manager of
radio station KALG , Alamogordo , said the UFO s first
were spotted near Ruido so, N.M., then went near
Hol loman AF B, the n south toward Orogrande, N.M .,
and then disappeared over the Sacramento Mountains.
Info rm at ion o ffi cers at H o ll oman AFB and WSMR
were contacted by Cl ark and he was told the Flight
Safety Office at Kirtland AFB at Albuquerque , N.M .,
would handle the investigation. Ki rtland would make
no comment exept that all information would have to
come from the Pentagon .
Clark called the assigned number at the Pentagon
and was told that no information was available.
Capt. Frank J. Morris , di rec tor of information at
Holloman AFB , Saturday night said that Maj . Step hens is handling the investigation. He said the results would be sent to Wright- Patterson AFB , Ohio,
and from there would go to the Pentagon . He said
no informatio n wculd be re leased except through the
Pub lic Information Office under the Secretary of the
Air Force.
Neith er WSMR nor H ol loman AFB personnel has
any authority in the case.
Clark said eyewitnesses, when they could be identified , would not allow use of their names beca:ise
of the Air Force regulation .
However, these witnesses estimated that the " silvery discs " were flying at an altitude of " 20,000 to
25,000 feet" and moving at a speed of " approximately 2,000 miles per hour."
There were several Air Force planes in the air
over WSMR at the time of the sightings. While it

133

took a few minutes to transfer from Army to Air
Force communicat ions , 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 t ime. There was little c loud cove r duri ng
the half hour invo lved and , at this time of day, it
would be impossible to see a meteor. The ob j ects
were moving much faster than a balloon .
One WSMR individu al said the UFOs were tracked
on radar. There is no accu rate estimate of the
number of objects spotted . There may have been
one - may have been more.
There is no indication when the Pentagon will
release any information on the sightings - if ever.

-* UFO's over British Columbia
On April 14th, 1967, at about 8.05 p.m., Ian Squire
and Scott McNeil! (two boys aged about 14) were
on their cycles going along Cedar H ill Crossroads,
Virginia, B.C . They crossed over Cadboro Bay Road
into Upper T errace Road (Up lands res id ent ial
district) , and proceeded down into Ripon Road as
far as the Circle. From there , they saw a red and a
green light hovering over wh at they thought was
probably the area of the Upland s Golf Clubhouse
on Cadboro Bay Road . They were on their way down
to the Yacht Club, and didn 't stop to investigate,
however. The two lig hts were not blinking, and
seemed stationary (but it mu st be remembered that
on their cycles, they were moving , which prevented
their being certain about this last point). The sky
was dark and starry: there was hard ly any wind at
all.
At 8.10 p.m . t he same evening, i.e . f ive or six mi nutes later, Ian Squire 's grandmother (name withne ld
at witness' request) was driving uphill alo ng C adboro Bay Road southwards towards the northern
gates into The Uplands district, when suddenly she
saw a red and a green light over the roadway, i.e.
higher than the height of a very tall tree . T he witness, who is person ally known to me through her
daughter and grandson, unfortunately did not stop
to investigate. Instead, she continued on right underneath the object which , she said , seemed to be
spread entirely over the width of the wide roadway.
The two colored lights seemed to be shining only

LIFE'S GIFTS.
Each of us receives life 's gifts on Earth . A belief
in a continued spiritua l life after the comparitively
short time of 70 years of physical life here on Eart h,
compared with the endless cycle of eternity, make s
th e actions of the moment an investment with farreaching consequences.
The certainty that Man can choose between good
and evil should lead him nearer to his Creator. Further, it should lead to an understanding that Man 's
life here and later, is more likely to depend on his
rel ation to the spiritual than to the scientific .
Our decisions now will unavoidably determine future actions . Nature around us will hold more unsolved th an solved mysteries. But science has won itself
sufficient power so that it can open up a Golden
Age for Mankind, providing th is power is used for
good - or destroy it, if the power is used neg atively.
Relig ion's ethical gu ide- lines are the bonds that
can hold civilisation together. W ithout it Man cannot
reach his dearest goal - peace with himsefl , his God
and his neighbour.

Report s of flying saucers sig hted in the Soviet
Un ion, in the Caucasus and in Central Asi a, also
were ridiculed here.
Th en for severa l years the Soviet press rem ai ned
silent on th e whole question ; the Cmen a article showed that the UFO issue is being reopened , this time
as an object of ser iou s scientif ic study.
Zigel was identifi ed as one of the editors of a
book, " Inhabited Cosmos," being prep ared 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 observed by scientists at the Central A erological Observatory near Moscow.
Similar observations , he said, have been made in
the United States, Au stra lia, India and Japan .
" The phenomen a of the UFO today should be considered as global ," he added .
He rejected the idea that birds, insects or plant
seeds cou ld cause such reactions on radar scree ns.
Zigel said there could be no doubt that UFO s
exist " but the nature of these objects is still not
understandable today ."
Th en he listed these five possible explanations:

UFO-reports

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 ai r and then photographed
"saucers " . But he rejected this alternative as killing
the question rather than solving it.

Soviet radar spots UFOs
MOSCOW - (AP) - A Soviet scientist says there
may real ly be such things as flying saucers from
outer space.
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 writing 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 " extreme ly specu lat ive. "
" But," he added, " as the UFO problem has not
yet been solved , different explanations, including
extremes, are possible."
The article took the lid off a subject rarely discussed in the press here.
In the 1950s the Soviet press scoffed at American
reports of flying saucers as just so much cold war
propaganda.
By those Soviet accounts, the Americans tried to
explain away the " saucers " as some sort of new,
secret Soviet we apon .

2. AN OPTICAL illusion related to the distribution
of light in the earth ' s atmosphere, such as a rainbow. The UFO, he said, is more complicated than
that, however.
3. A NEW SECR ET 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 the ir
appearance in good weather.
5. SPACESHIPS from an advanced civilization on
another planet. Zigel said the speed of UFOs su pp orts this theory. So does what he cal led " the fact"
that no UFO s were ever reliabl y reported to have
landed .
Zigel called for " an all-sided , thorough , scientific
exploration " to clear up the origin of UFOs once
and for all.

What Adamski
said ...
GEORGE ADAMSKI WAS MANY TIMES 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
ca ll ed a faker, bec ause he has produced photographs of so-called space-ships which he cl ai med
to have taken himself. H e 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 peopl e
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 app li cab le, and
Ad amski could have indeed made money from those
claims ! But Ad amski was not that kind of man. He
knew the truth , and therefore no-one could harm his
integrity. On thi s integrity al l his subsequent actions
rested .
Many incidents is his later life were mi s-reported ,
sometimes out of malice, at other times because of
expediency, when insufficient detai l was at hand .
Many were the garbled reports circulated about one
very special occasion. Here, below , is WHAT ADAMSKI SAID about :

The royal audience
During my stay in B risbane I received a letter from
Rey d 'Aquila of The Hague, Netherlands, requesting
me to attend an interview with Queen Juli ana on May
18th, 1959. The lette r requested an immediate reply.
I se nt a cab le confirming receipt of the letter and
consenting to the interview.
Toward the end of April , when I returned to London from lectures in outlying cities of the British
Isles, the rumor was out that I was to have an interview with Qu een Juli ana. I was at the home of Desmond Leslie when the telephone rang. It was a reporter asking for verification of the interview. I adm itted only that such a rumor existed , and did not confirm anythi ng .
Th e reporter was cautioned not to publish anything
until it had been confirmed. He agreed to await confirmation , out of respect for Queen Juliana, but his
respect was app arently short-lived .
The Daily Herald of April 29th, 1959, London , pub lished the following article under the heading , " Juliana's New Joy - Flying Saucers " . The reporter gave
this accou nt : " I checked with Juli ana 's secretary.
'Yes ,' the secretary said over the phone from H olland . ' H er Majesty has asked Mr. A damski to confidential talks . More than th at I cannot disclose. The
talk will be between the two of them alone .' "

121

The newspape r ac counts which c lai med I told reporters of the forthcoming meeting with Qu een Juliana
were entirely false . On e thing is certain : t he press
was furiou s. The reporters co uld not get any informatio n from me so they fabric ated stories to save face
(and perhaps to protect the ir jobs! ) . Newspa pers all
over the United States copied these false reports
and added comments as they passed them on .
An art icle in the Los Angeles Ex aminer of May
19th, entitled " In Dutch On Saucer Discussion,"
stated : " The press has given Ad amski , from Lo s
Angeles , a chi lly reception. The Catholic People 's
Party news paper 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 astronomic al philosopher.' "
Soon after the news paper De Volkskrant criticized
my interview with Queen Juli ana, several other Dutch
papers followed suit and began to speak in a critic al
vein . The more dignified pape rs , however, presented
straightforward accounts like the following:
" QUEEN J ULI ANA SEES U.S. WRITER , Hour' s
Discussion on Space Travel , from our correspondent.
THE HAGU E, May 19th. Queen Juli ana and the
Prince of the Netherlands today received , at Soestdijk Palace, Mr. George Adamski , the American
author of several books on sp ace trave l. The Queen
and Prin ce Bernh ard had a talk lasti11g about an
hour with Mr. Ad amski. It is understood that the t alk
was of a purely inform ative character . Th e Qu een
and Prin ce Bernhard wanted to become acquainted
with Mr. Adamski and his views .
" Those who were present at the conversation
included Mr. C . Kolff, president of the Royal Netherlands Society for Avi atio n, Lieutenant-General H .
Schaper, Chief of the Royal Netherlands Air Staff,
Professor Jongblo ed, of Utrecht University, an expert
in medic al science dealing with avi atio n, and Professor Rooy, of Amsterdam University, who gives
lectures on mass communication.
" Mr. Ad amski , who claims to have flown round the
moon in a flying saucer and to have been in contact
with inhabitants of the planet Venus , is lecturing in
Th e H ague and Amsterd am."
As I am a common man with no title or position ,
some newspapers questioned the Queen 's right to
invite me to the p alace. A true ruler, or represen tative of the peopl e, can gain knowledge from the
lowest as well as th e highest sources.
The press ca ll ed the Queen gullible and accused
her of falling for strange things . This is not true . She
is only interested in all new things of life, as a ruler
should be. We are living in times when on every
hand things are changing. Unl ess the rulers are well
informed, they cannot serve their people we ll.
Queen Juliana has the welfare of her people at
heart. Therefore she has an open mind that permits
her to look at all facets of life, not bowing to the
dictates of the few ; and so she was not persuaded
to cancel the appointment.
At this time I will relate the true facts of my inter-

122

view with the Queen. They have never been published before. The press reports quoting questions
and answers from the interview were falsified , as no
reporters were allowed inside the palace during the
interview!
I left London and arrived in Amsterdam on the
15th of May, 1959. Miss Rey d'Aquila and some newspaper reporters were at the airport to meet me . I
was still suffering from the cold I had caught in
Scotland, so I excused myself and was taken to a
small hotel on the outskirts of Amsterdam .
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 beautifu l park. The first day was
set aside foi me to rest. That morning I unpacked
my camera and walked through the park to the
ocean. Several restful hours were spent strolling
around and photographing the local scenery.
I had been placed in this secluded hotel purposely
to avoid the press. When the newsmen could not
locate me, they became very irritated . Those in
charge of publicity would not say where I was staying, and the manager of the hotel had been given
orders not to reveal my presence. For one day and
even ing I was able to relax .
On the morning of May 18th, I had breakfast and
readied myself for the visit to Soestdijk Pa lace near
Utrec ht. The Pa lace car was to call for me at about
10.30 a.m. This was an informal meeting, so my business suit was proper attire. I had been carefully
coached on the proper etiquette and conduct in the
presence of my royal hosts. When the car arrived,
I was introduced to the chauffeur who held the door
open as I entered. To evade the press, we avoided
the customary highway to the palace.
We entered the palace garden through a gate
opened by a guard who saluted smartly as we passed. I noticed the highway in front of the palace was
empty as we turned into the grounds. A winding
driveway, bordered by massive shrubs, brought us
to the huge entrance. My mind was so taken up in
trying to remember all the instructions I had been
given that I failed to notice much about the palace
itself, except that it was white . The chauffeur had
spoken very few words as we rode along and had
given me a mind to relieve my throat when I coughed.
It was 11 .00 a.m . when the car stopped in front of
the entrance. A uniformed attendant opened the
door, saluted, and escorted me up the broad steps
to the palace doors, which were opened by two
doormen dressed in royal blue, who also saluted.
When I entered , one of these men helped me out
of my top coat and muffler; the other escorted me
into a large library with high ceiling.

I had been nervous with anticipation, but a feeling
of calm and ease came over me as I stood in the
presence of the Queen. She and the others present
were standing when I entered the room. The Queen 's
secretary came forward and introduced me to Her
Majesty, Queen Juliana. In turn , I was presented to
Pri nce Bernhard; Lt. General Schaper, Chief of the
Royal Netherlands Air Staff; Professor Jongbloed ,
of Aerial Medicine; Dr. M. Rooy, T elecommunications; and Mr. Kolff, President of the Royal Netherlands Society for Aviation.
When the Queen acknowledged the introduction, I
completely forgot all the instructions and could not
remember the formalities that should have been followed. Instead, I acted upon my feelings and was at
ease, for here was a feeling of welcome as among
friends.
The Queen graciously asked if I drank coffee .
When I replied that I did , coffee was served in large
cups of beautiful design , while we remained standing. After all had been served , we were asked to be
seated. That coffee was the best I had had since
leaving America!
We were at one end of the library, seated in
lounge chairs assembled in a horseshoe position .
Directly across from me sat the Queen. Next to her
was the Prince, and on my right, next to the Prince,
was a gentleman who acted as spokesman for him .
As I remember, this gentleman was Mr. Kolff. Seated
on my left were the other three gentlemen already
named. The secretary was seated a little apart from
the others.
Small pastries were served , and as we sat enjoying the refreshments and indulging in informal conversation, I noted that Her Majesty wore a light blue
frock. The men were dressed in black suits with
white shirts and black ties .
Cigarettes were passed. Then the secretary opened
the topic for which I had been summoned . She referred to my two books and asked a question regarding my trip around the moon . I was aware of having
been granted only forty-five minutes, so I made my
answers as brief as possible.
The astronomer and Air Force chief asked questions next, trying to discredit the interplanetary
visitors. As I think of it now, perhaps my answer
was a little rude in the presence of royalty, for I
said : "I have known of no major officials of our Air
Force, and few astronomers, who have told what they
actually know about the visitors from space. It is a
known fact that the secret files and confidential
reports of the Air Force have never been released
to the public, or even to high officers in the government. I am inclined to believe this applies to all
governments. " I think Her Majesty knew exactly what
I meant, for she gave a tiny smile of acknowledgment.
I pointed out that most of the findings of our Earth
satellite had been published in my books at least
three years before.
Many questions were asked about inhabitants of

pulses come from the animal 's glands and its reactions are wholly autom atic . The make-up of an anim al
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
ca ll ed conscience , which tells us what is right and
what is wrong . Only Mankind is equipped w ith the
conflicts which arise, because it is created in God 's
Image. And only Mankind is equipped with a soul
which enables it to master the problems caused by
these conflicts.
Today, thousands of scientists are at work on the
most momentous task Mankind has ever faced: an
attempt to understand a physical Universe which is
unending in time and space , complicated in its detail
and impressive in its orderliness , and to understand
its origin and how it functions.
It is no longer a sufficient explanation of the aims
of science to say that it seeks to find the physical
laws which govern the Universe and increases Mankind 's control over it, because science ' s field of
endeavour has increased in size. The basic elements
of science are collective experiences, observations
and the setting of certain goals at which to aim.
From these the scientist tries to make a model of
time , proportions and cause . When one gains new
knowledge the old model is not rejected , it is just
altered where the new knowledge points to an alteration.
By reason of the fact that the scientist is willing
to alter his model of the Universe, he shows that
he does not demand to know the final truth. His
scientific laws are at most only re -writings of the
observations he has made.
The laws of science do not control the reality but
attempts only to explain it. Therefore the laws can
be altered when one attains new knowledge.
NEW AIMS .
The tasks which science sets itself are never-ending. For truth is no static concept. For every new
answer arrived at, a dozen new concepts come into
view.

Science stands before new frontiers in many fields
of endeavour : the nucleus of the atom becomes more
and more enigmatic - the origin and composition of
the Universe is still shrouded in mystery - the inner
functions of living organisms still allow of no explanation. Science 's Golden Age lies ahead of us.
The scientist works in an atmosphere where doubt
is an accepted fact of life and exaggerated orthodoxy taboo. Thomas Huxley says of the scientist:
" For him scepticism is a first duty and blind faith
an unforgivable sin " . A result of scientific progress
is that traditions, which are the buttresses of faith ,
have been swept aside. The sciences and religion
have therefore often collided. And yet it is one of
the tragedies of our time that science and religion
have become advers aries . Because to achieve a solution of the conflict it has been tempting to adopt a
policy of peaceful co-existence, to divide our ex-

131

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 all ows 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 .
INVI SIBLE.
It is not possible to build a wall between religion
and science. Gradually, as science is enabled to explain some of the mysteries of the Universe it comes
into areas which were previously unknown or only
accepted on a basis of faith .
Every new experience - physica l or spiritual - must
fit into a pattern which gives both faith and meaning. It is Mankind that explores the Universe, experiments, and seeks for the truth. It is not just a detail ,
it t akes 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
Cre ation are being disclosed is of direct concern to
Mankind.
Science and religion can be compared with two
windows in a house, through which we can observe
the world around us or our neighbours. (There are
other windows to be found in the house: Art, Literature and History). Whatever we may see through
the windows of this imaginary house, it must fit in
with the model we have of the Universe and our
place in it.
Where it does not fit, we must alter the model,
alter our aim and try to increase our ability to understand the Creation.
In our modern society it would appear that many
people think that the advances made by science
have caused such things as religious belief to become out-of-place and old-fashioned. They cannot
understand why we should "believe " in something,
when science can tell us that we " know " so much.
The simple answer to this assertion is that we are
aware of more of nature 's mysteries today than
people were before the advent of scientific research .
There is absolutely no reason to believe that God
cannot retain H is place in our modern times in the
same way as before we began to examine His Creation with telescope and ion-accelerators.
Even though science is no religion , it is, by nature
of its assumptions, its application and its search for
the truth , a religious function . The Creator reveals
Himself through His Creations. As Charles A. Coulson says : " Science helps us to create a picture of
God " . We must remember that science only exists
be cause there are people , and its concepts exist
only in people 's understanding. Behind these concepts lies reality, which God can reveal to us.

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 Cre ation. Through religion he
seeks to understand the Creator.
They are not independent of each other. It is just
as difficult for me to understand a scientist who
cannot perceive a Higher Reality behind the origin
of the Universe, as it is to understand a theologian
who denies the advances made by science. Science
and religion are far from being independent of each
other, neither are they opposing forces ; on the contrary they are as brothers. Both are striving for a
better world . While science seeks to uncover the
forces of Nature arou nd us, religion is trying to
discover the forces in Man himself.
As we gradually gain a greater knowledge of nature so we become more impressed and humbled by
its orderliness and never-failing perfection. Our extensive knowledge of the Un iverse and its laws has
made it possible for us to send people out from
their natural surroundings into unknown space and
bring them safely back to earth again .

ENDLESSNESS OF THE UN IVERSE.
Manned space-flights are pioneer works. But until
now they have only begun to open the door out
toward the endlessn ess of the Universe.
Th at which we can see of the mysteries of the
Universe t hrough the crack in that door only confirms our be lief in its Creator. Mankind with its
limited understanding cannot co mpreh end an omnipresent, almighty, all -knowi ng and eternal God.
Every attempt to create a picture of God and reduce Him so that He can be comprehended offers
but fu rther proof of His Greatness. I beli eve it best
if one, through Faith, accepts God as a proof of
Goodwill , which throughout history manifests itself
more and more as the ability of Mankind to understand , grows.
It gives pe ace of mind to think of God as the
Father of al l, and the resultant thought, that al l men
are brothers, is an ethical guide-line.
Scientists only know that in nature nothing is destroyed without being co nverted into energy. Not even
the tiniest particle can disappear without leavi ng a
trace. Nature knows nothing of annihi latio n, only
change. Would God have had less consideration for
His Masterpiece, the Hum an 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.
Th e significance of this is of far more importance
than the pronouncements of philosophers and theologians about what we can expect when we le ave
this world. From th e dawn of time the conception of
immortality has had its influence on untold million s
of people.
THE SOUL DIVID ES MANKIND FROM
OTHER CREATIONS.
The soul separates Man from the animal. An
animal 's actions are dictated by its inborn impulses,
i.e. hunger, fear and self-preservation. These im-

other planets . I retold much of what I had written
in my second book. The major qu estio ns of our conference dealt with our future in outer space .
Awareness of time was lost as we all grew interested in the conversation about outer space. Wh at
began as a forty-five minute interview lasted two
hours. Fin all y the Queen reminded me that my lecture started in less than an hour. Interest was so
great in the topic , if it had not been for the lecture,
we could have kept talking for hourse.
When the Queen remi nded me of the tim e, I arose
and we all shook hand s in a very friendly manner.
I was deeply impressed with the firm sinc ere grasp
of Her Majesty and the Prince. The spokesman for
the Prince escorted me to the car. During the conference he had stated he would like to take a trip
wit h the space peopl e and he repe ated the request
as we descended th e steps to the waiting car.
As we were leaving the Palace grounds, I noticed
a large group of people stand ing across the highway and fac ing the Palace. As th e car came through
the gate, many of th ese peop le gave the familiar
sa lute. Poss ib ly th ey only wanted to get a look at
the common man who had been granted a private
interview with the Qu een , and whom the press had
described as an " objectionable " visitor. On the fast
trip b ack to the hotel, I noti ced 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 H ague . The Queen 's
chauffeur asked if he might attend the lecture and
was granted permission to do so.
Due to the long interview at the Palac e, I arrived
twenty minutes late at the lecture hall where a capac ity crowd was waiting. The people present were
fi ll ed with curiosity and antic ipation in regard to my
meeting with Queen Juliana. Reporters especially
were insistent that I give them all the details . This I
cou ld not do, for the meeting had been on a level of
dignity that denied me the privilege of speaki ng
until the Queen spoke first. All I could say was:
" The Q ueen was very kind , and if there were more
people like her the world would be a better place
to live in ." A tremendous burst of applause took
place, and from there on the lecture proceeded as
normal.
After the lecture, the reporters crowded arou nd
me asking , " What did the Queen say? " " It is the
Queen ' s hono r 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 question s and answers.
When I returned to my hotel I was grateful that no
one knew where I was, for now I could relax and go
over the events of the day.
A radio was in my roo m, and the next morning I
tuned it to the BBC since I could not understand
the Dutch of local statio ns. On an early-morning
program called Th e News of Europe, I was very
much surprised to hear a report from a Ru ss ian scientist stating that the moon was not composed of
volcanic dust, but rather of granite formations sim-

123

ilar to Earth. Many green spots that looked like
vegetation had been observed on the other side of
the moon. Th is confirmed some of the things I had
told the Qu een during our two -hour conference.
I was curious to know just how the Russi ans had
gained this information. My friends and I discussed
the possibi lities later that morn ing. Was it possib le
that a Russi an had made a tr ip as I had, or did t hey
receive the information from their moon shot that
went into orbit around the sun? (Information received
at the time of this writing seems to confirm that they
did.)
Before the morning was over I was asked if I
would accept an interview with Fox Movietone in
downtown H ague. I would be called for and take n 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 bu i lding. I was told to walk across the street and
enter the hotel. Camera were re ady and set for operation, but I had to rehearse the walk several times
before pictures were finally taken . In the final take,
the large glass doors, framed in brass , opened automatically and I entered the hotel.
I was greeted by many people, including the manage r of the hotel, and received the customary salute.
Th is was not photograp hed . I was taken to a large
room where cameras and sound equi pment were in
place. Here I was seated bes ide a small mah ogany
table which held a bouquet of American Beauty
roses. My interrogator was seated on my right. H is
first question was: " The world wants to know what
the Queen had to say."
My answer was that Her Majesty and H is Royal
Highness were deeply interested in the future of
outer space deve lopment. Th e interrogator was very
dissatisfied with my reply and tried to get me to
relate our conversation in some detail. When I refused, he hurried through the other questions, and the
news conference was over. I was told t his newsreel
would be shown all over the world, but I have no
reports of it ever having been shown .
It is interesting to note that, after my visit to the
Palace, wherever I went in Holl and 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 Frid ay May 22nd, I received an invitation from
the man ager of the City Theatre in downtown A msterdam, to attend the preview of an Ita lian f ilm,
Death Comes From Outer Space.
The death that came from outer space was a gig antic asteroid travelling at terrific speed directl y
toward the ea rth. This asteroid was formed from all
the debris blown into space by our atomic and hydrogen explosions. The people of the Earth were in a
panic, for they were warned that at any moment it
could hit our planet and cause complete destruction.
Me anwhile, huge tidal waves and heavy earthquakes
were wreaking havoc in many places throughout the
world .

124

ufo contact

The sc ientists of all nations called upon the military in every ot her natio n to aim their ato mic mi ss iles at the asteroid and to fire simultaneously. In
this way the astero id was destroyed by the same
weapons that had caused its creatio n.
Representatives of the press were present at the
show in g . After it was over, I was asked if such a
t hing co uld hap pen in rea l life. I rep li ed that it could
and gave the following ex pl anation:
" Th e lightning bo lt is created from invi si bl e particles of matter that are fused togeth er by the terrific heat of a natural electrical discharge. It is entire ly
possible for the milli ons of tons of debris that have
been blown into the upper regions of the earth 's
atmosphere to co me together and form an artifi cial
asteroid. Th e larger the mass of debris, the more
attractio n it would have for additio nal particles. "
Thi s picture alert ed me to t he possibility that radiation and fallout are not the only dangers we might
be facing from our atomic exp losio ns.
Reports have come from Mexico stating that a
hug e fireb all cras hed into a mountain just before t he
disastrous earthqu ake there in August of 1959.
Recently several planes hav e reportedly hit objects
from space. Some have survi ved; others have cras hed to th eir doom. Could th ey have crashed into
some of the high-energy pockets left by our explosions?
Some of these man- made asteroids burn and glow,
and cou ld be mistaken for ord inary meteor ites . Thi s
may also be the answer to some of the fireb all s that
have been reported.
By t he way of c lo sing this chapte r, I would like to
reproduce in part a letter concerning the lecture in
Amsterdam , se nt to co-workers in The Neth erlands
area. It was wri tten by Miss Rey d 'Aqu il a, dated
Jun e 13th, 1959, and reads as follows:
" At th e end of the lecture in Amsterd am, Professor E. L. See llig er of Bergen (NH), physic ist and
former Delft Professor, stepped on the platform and
thanked 'o ur friend Adamski ' in public for the things
that he had b rought us. Qu oti ng him exac tly : 'The
things that we have heard may so und strange to most
of us , if not all , but strang e thi ngs happen eve ry
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. ( In side information : Professor Seelliger is in good rel atio n to the
Queen and if we take hi s mental courage and her
interest and deep understanding , we may conc lu de
that after all George Adamski 's visit to our country
has been a successful one and the steppi ng sto ne
to a better future .)"
Regarding my interview with the Qu ee n, I will
agai n quote from the repo rt: " B ut one thing we can
say for sure, no pres s reporters were present. So
what the press had fu'rther to say about hi s aud ie nce
was a big lie from the first to the last lin e! Paris
Match, for instance, carried a w holly imaginative
' Interview With Th e Queen ', comp let e wit h questions
and answers!"

fantasy , others think that initially it had some
meaning . Two centuries ago the mystery attracted
the German astronomer, Joh an 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 imagin ation was stirred by an unusu al 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 Apocryphabooks banned by Church censorship from services
and religious reading . The Apocrypha reflects man 's
efforts to expl ain the most dramatic mysteries of life.
These books sometimes stand in direct contradiction
of Church-approved texts .
A familiar one about early Christianity is called
" The Tale About the Three Magi " . The original version must have been written in Latin in the middle
of the third century at the earliest, and later translated into many languages . A 15th-century Byelorussian transl ation made five centuries before the
space era contains a highly unusual interpretation of
the tale. Th e star, it says , was watched by astronomers (this is the actual word used} in many Oriental
countries. Once it appeared at night and " lit up the
whole of the sky as the sun does." Then the st ar
hung over Mount Vans for a whole day, after which
it alighted on the mountain like an eagle.
Th e text contains a reference to " certain books "
which claim that Christ came down from that star.
" But it was different from the one pi ctured in our
churches . It had wings , the kind an eagle has, and
many long rays .", which sent it moving in a circle
when it descended upon Mount Vans.
This version of the old story unexpectedly introduces a new image and a new idea, both sharply at
variance with the church texts . Without question , the
apocryphal version is fantastic. But it is hardly more
fantastic than the approved canonic version . What
was at the basis of the author' s fantasy? Th at, too ,
is shrouded in mystery.

ANGELS IN FLYING MACH INES.
The Dechany Monastery in Kosovskaya Metehia,
southern Yugoslavia, was built in the first half of the
14th century, and by 1350 contained numerous frescoes on subjects from the Old and New Testaments.
In the spring of 1964 more frescoes were found in
the monastery. The Yugoslav magazine Svet published photographs entitled : " Spaceships on the Dechany Crucifix, Sputniks in our frescoes , Could ancient icon-painters have depicted spaceships in Dechany? " It did not take a journalist 's imagination to
think up titles like these . Dechany frescoes actually
depict angels flying in spaceships like the present
sputniks.
Two ships are shown flying one after the other
from west to east. Sitting in th e le ad ship is a man

without an angel 's halo. He holds an unseen " control
column " and looks behind him as if watching the
flight of his fellow-sp aceman . Sitting in the spaceship following is another man, who also has nothing
in common with the tradition al 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
pos ition of pilots ", says the magazine.
Angels watching the flight cover their eyes and
ears with their hands and seem to be backing away
for fe ar of being blinded of deafened . Below, two
groups are pictured , every face portraying surprise ,
fear, or perplexity. The central figure represents the
crucified Christ.
The fresco depicting the Resurrection of Christ
looks just as odd . The Messiah looks as if he is in a
rocket which has not yet begun to move, explains
the Yugoslav magazine. Indeed , the vehicle looks
very much like a space rocket, with a two-wing stabilizer in its upper part. With his right hand Christ is
trying to lift aboard the ship one of the people
standing on the ground before starting on his way
to the heavenly kingdom .
Monks al Dechany, to whom experts turned for an
explanation , replied that apparently the drawings of
" ships " are pictures of the Sun and the Moon.
According to New Testament legend, Christ was
crucified during a solar eclipse. But why the " sun "
is depicted rising in the west the monks could not
say.
One of the papers on the Dechany miracle refers
to a hypothesis saying that Christ was a man who
came down lo Earth from space. The magazine
comments that such ide as are " overbold ", that the
hypothesis, if confirmed , " would basically alter the
Biblical story about Christ" . The frescoes , it is noted ,
showing objects obviously resembling sputniks, " baffle layman and specialist alike."
The Dechany " Miracle" is not unique. An icon in
the Church Archaeology Study of the Moscow Theological Academy, called The Resurrection of Jesus
Christ and dating back to the 17th century, shows
Christ in a streamlined container which vaguely
resembles a spaceship standing on the ground.
Smoke billows from both sides of the container's
lower part, enveloping the legs of the angels who
watch from the sidelines. Just as on the Dechany
fresco , Christ's right hand lifts a man (the church
version identifies him with Adam) . Eve waits for her
turn on the other side.
The icon is surely of an apocryphal nature. There
may have been a written version presenting a noncanonic al view of Christ's resurrection and ascension, but if there is , nothing is known about it. Po ssibly it was destroyed by Church censors or else it
dis appe ared with time . Or perhaps the manuscript
exists undiscovered , in which case it may have
inspired icon (or mural } painters to present space
episodes.

to the Conference Special Agencies related to the
subject.
The proposed representation shou ld 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. Th e team of scientists should be completed
according to enclosure No. 1. wi th highly competent
scientific UFO researchers whose statements can
be screened and verified on the basis of various
documentation media in possession of our world-wide
analytic network , such as ; existing records of the
UFO observers , embraci ng continental documentation
by historical background , statistics, photographs,
motion pictures , and other documentations exhibited
and witnessed by originators , about the UFOs and
their global reconnaissance activities.
As a former international civil servant on your
staff, and founder of the Intercontinental UFO Network , supporting our request , may I call your attention to the constructive and progressive values of my
proposals , sub mitted during the last year, to your
cabinet, assisting voluntarily the UFO problem within
the framework of the UN, which have already been
realized during the past 11 months.
1) Th e PROJ ECT UN-UFO, the organization scheme
of an international ana lytic team within your staff,
to keep under control the UFO global surveillance ,
and its 135 documentation, has been objected to by
the government of the United States of America as
" nonsense " . .. but in spite of this , the same government, instead of investing money in the investigation at the U.N . has, three months later, invested
300 thousand dollars for the same purpose in the
Colorado University. The U.S. government has casually been investigating UFO cases, classified as
" Confidential " since 1944, under project names, such
as , Sigma, Grudge, and Bluebook. Valuated backwards this represents budgetary expenditures amounting to more millions of dollars.
2) The INTERCONTINENTAL SPACE SECURITY
PACT proposal , submitted to your cabinet on May 10,
1966 has been accepted in part, in that the Articles
No. , 1. II. V. and Par., 1.2.3.4.5. 14., therein have
been transferred to the Governing Principles of
Peac eful Uses of Outer Space Treaty, which was
negotiated in the Outer Space Committee, - a resolution adopted by acclamation by the General Assembly last December 19, and signed by 62 nations,
exp lorin g in outer space. Th e transplanted artic les of
the mentioned Security Pact are as follows:
a. earth and earthman security - supreme constitutional authority of UN in relation to outer space
in articles No. 1.111.V.IX.
b. establishment of international responsibility for
damages by exp lo ring 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

125

space and celestial bodies, in article No. VI.
observed in space and celestia l bodies to be reported to the Secretary
General in article No. V. is exactly an " unexplained UFO A rtic le " from article No. V .
Th e enclosure No. 2. clearly shows , that these
artic les were not proposed in the original issues of
the " Tre aty D raft' 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 Pe rm . 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 prev ious issues of UFO
CONTACT - Ed.)
In the enclosure No. 3 you will find the constitutional build up for the Intercontinental UFO Observer
& Analytic Network. The Press Release for which ,
dated January 11 , 1967, was usually silenced as . . .
"not in the public interest ".
In spite of all this , there has been an increase of
UFO appearances in the past year and a growing
impatience on the part of the public with the governments ' policies in this regard. We are convinced
now more than ever that this proposal to accept
information from world famous authorities will meet
with the wholehearted approval of the United Nation s.
For the first time perhaps, an opportunity will be
afforded to study first hand the voluminous evidence
that has heretofore been suppressed.
It is a special honor for us to assist the United
Nations through our conti nental representation in the
UFO problem.
We are awaiting your inform atio n regarding our
proposal. In beh alf of our continental represe ntatives, I remain
very respectfu I ly you rs

A Soviet contribution
IT IS RARE INDEED that we read or hear of the
Russian views on " Fly ing Saucers ", although, in th e
fifties they were referred to as an example of American " war psychosis ". However, in th is issue of UFO
CONTACT, you can read an accou nt of recent Sovi et
moves reg arding the UFO -case. (See " Soviet Radar
Spots UFO" .)
Here, below, we bring you a Russi an writer' s account of his researc h into the problems and myst eries
of extraterrestria l visitations . Cond ensed from the
book " Na Sushe i na more " - " On Land and at
Sea" - we can see how the writer has followed many
of the same threads of Bib lical and pre - History as

the caves ten times before the sunrise. When at last
they understood the sign languag e of the Drop as,
they realized that the newcomers had peaceful intentions . . ."
Another Ham hieroglyph expresses regret over the
loss of the tribe's own spaceships during a dangerous landing in high mountains, and the failure to
build new ones .
In the opinion of Ch inese arc haeologists, the
Bayan - Kara-Ula hieroglyphs are so mysterious that
their interpretation and use for scientific research
require the utmost care.
To obtain further information , the discs were
scraped free of adhering rock particles and sent to
Moscow for study. Scientists there made two important discoveries. The discs were found to contain a
large amount of cobalt and other metals - a shaking
discovery. Further investigation revealed that the
discs vibrate in an unusual rhythm , as if they carried
an electric charge or were part of an electric circuit.
The 12,000 year-old discs remain a challenge to
science.
Legends of ancient China say that small , gaunt,
yellow-faced men came down from the clouds. But
earthly tribesmen fe lt a revulsion for the visitors ,
whose enormous he ads and extreme ly thin , weak
bodies made them look ugly, and " some people on
fast horses " beat them .
Rea lity seems to confirm the legends. In some of
the Bayan-Kara-Ula caves arch ae ologists and speleologists have found 12,000 year-old vestiges of
graves and skeletons . T he remains belong to human
bei ngs with huge craniums and underdeveloped skeletons . The Ch inese exped itions 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 wa ll s 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.

have a number of his Western co ntempo raries . The
author has spe nt 30 years co ll ecting evidence to
back up his thesis that intelligent beings from outer
space have had contact with our Earth . He has
written two books, " C osm ic Rem iniscenc es in Written
Reli cs of the Past", and " The Evolutio n of the Universe and Intelligent Be ings ."
With ack nowledgements to the " SPUTNIK" monthly digest, Jan. 1967, we present the artic le in two
parts. Here is Part One, of -

Visitors from outer space
by
Vyachesl av Z ai tsev .
Expand ing knowledge about the Universe usually
means more puzzles than discoveries. As man unravels eac h new mystery, he is assai led by fresh
doubts and torments, for he has caught a glimpse
of anot her mystery lying ahead. For the explorer in any field - it is prob ab ly this yet undiscovered
territory vag uely seen in the distance th at sparks the
searc h 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 pi eced together an amazing
theory of space-ships on a visit to the earth 12,000
years ago. Th e Germ an magazi ne, " Das Vegetaris che
Universum" , wrote of hi s research:
" For a quarter of a century archaeo log ists exploring caves in the Bayan-Kara-Ula Mountains , on the
border of Chin a and Tibet, have been finding oldlooking 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
sou nd -tracks, but the oddest writing in China and
indeed the rest of the world ."
Arch aeologists and dec ipherers of ancient writing
racked their brains trying to so lve the secret of the
spirals . The result of th e research by the Chinese
archaeo logi st was so shatteri ng that the Peking Academy of Pre-History banned publication of his work.
Eventu ally permission was obtained and the professor and his four co ll eagues published their collective effort under the intriguing title " Groove
Writing Rel ati ng to Spaceships which , as Recorded
on the Discs, Existed 12,000 Years Ago. "
The caves high up in the Bayan-Kara-Ula Mountains 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 sca rce .
Wh en deciphered, one of the hieroglyphs presumab ly set down by an ancient member of the H am
tribe read: " Th e Dropas came down from the clouds
in their gliders . Our men, women and children hid in

'

CELESTIAL EGGS .
Peruvi an 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 Tass ili frescoes , which were found in the
heart of the Sahara by a French lieutenant named
Brenand . Shortly afterwards the pl ace was examined
by a French expedition led by Henri Lotte, who later
wrote The Search for the Frescoes of T assi li. In
addition to pictures of animals and hunting scenes,
the frescoes depict strange figures dressed in wh at
looks like spacesuits and spherical helmets. The
helmets are defin itely attached to the suits, which
evoke no associations with ritual headdress or hunt-

127

ing gear. Nor is there any association with the hunters who , as so me sc holars ass ume, used ostrich eggshells for helmets. Lotte cal led the enigmatic figures
Martians.
Describing the ancien t drawings on the cave walls
the French ex plorer says that one of them depi cts
" a man appearing from an egg-shaped object covered with concentric circles. The object resembles
an egg , or pos sib ly a snail. "
So the Peruvian legend and the Tass ili 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 subje ct was treated by ancient
Greek sculptors, certain of whom portrayed Castor
and Pol lux of Dioscuria, as well as Helen and Nemesis , with remnants of egg-shells on their heads, for
according to Gre ek 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 fa lling from the sky? One Latin American
legend says that eggs dropped down from the sky
on dandelions ! The absence of any existing interpretation of this art leaveg the door open for wh at
must seem a fantastic ass umption : that the legend
of the celestial eggs, like any other myth or legend ,
could have originated from bonafide impressions of
an act ual event. An ancient man may once have seen
a co ntainer with a human being in it descend from
the sky, and imagined that the visitor was emerging
from a celestial egg.
" VISITING CARDS " OF SPACE TRAVELLERS.
During excavations at different times in Japan
archaeologists found figurines (dogu) depicting a
kind of hum an 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 eve n nig htsight devices.
Reviewing the latest Soviet space ac hievements,
th e Germ an magazine Fre ie Welt in issue No. 12,
1966, printed a selection of rock drawings and photograp hs of dogu under the humorous title, " Vi siting
C ards?", declaring that such drawings and figurines
might be construed as proof that the Earth was once
visited by space beings.
Man y similar rock pictures have been discovered
throughout the world . There are pictures of spacemen on cave wal ls in the Val Comonique, the Swiss
Alps, in Au stralia, close to Fergan a and near the
city of Navoi , in Sov iet Central Asia.
Puzzles that may have started with a space visit
are contained in legends and myths. Legends of Australia, the Near East, South and Centra l Am erica
and the Far East al l tell of the descent of gods from
the sky. They offer food for thought.
THE STAR OF BETHLEHEM .
The phrase " Star of Beth lehem " is twenty centuri es old. Some regard it as a product of sheer

UNIDENTIFIED FLYING OBJECTS;
ANONYMOUS INFORMANT
DALLAS, TEXAS
OCTOBER 9, 1967

A young white ~ male, who refused to give her name,
appeared at the Dallas FBI Office on October 9, 1967. She
stated she is interested in Unidentified Flying Objects (UFOs)
and has received a quantity of information concerning beings
from outer space. She stated she will not reveal her identity
as she would feel like a fool if this information is not true.
She stated if it is true, however, she will meet with interested
officials and furnish all the information she has, provided
nothing is done to endanger her safety.
She stated in July, 1967, she met a being from another
planet who had assumed earthly form. He gave her certain
information, then he was picked up and departed from the earth
on August 21, 1967. She stated she then received messages from
non-earthly sources in a manner she refused to discuss. She
stated these sources told her of the following:
(1)

An antimissile missile was fired at a UFO
over Africa on May 22, 1962, but the UFO
was protected by its "force field."

(2)

A UFO was detected 22,000 miles from earth by
radar about August 6, 1967.

(3)

A UFO was detected over Antartica August 20,
1967.

(4)

A UFO was detected over the "Dewline" in the
past week and was shot down, and beings from
outer space are trying to recover it.

Informant would furnish no further details. She stated
if this information is true, she will knaw other information

UNIDENTIFIED FLYING OBJECTS;

DALLAS, TEXAS
OCTOBER 9, 1967

$He received is true, and will furnish full details.

This will
include information regarding the destruction of a moon explorer
vehicle by beings from outer space, and how those beings shot
down the Russian Cosmonaut.

She stated she fears for her life if it becomes known
she contacted officials, as persons who saw UFOs have died
mysteriously in the past. She stated if Air Force officials
want to contact her she can be reached by a message to a telephone
number she has given an FBI Agent, and she will meet officials
at the Dallas FBI Office only.

John Edgar Hoover
United States Department of Justice
~Federal Bureau of Investigation
Washington 2.5, D.c.
Dear Mr_, Hoover:
December 1, 1963, I observed in the sky at Moorestown, New Jersey, an
unusual object and its unusual behavior. On December 8, 1963, just
24 hours later at Elkton, Maryland, the Pan American Aircraft with 73
passengers and a crew of eight perished when this aircraft exploded in
mid air and crashed.
I sent a tape recording of the observation I had made on December 7,
to Mr. J. F.d.gar Hoover and associated this object with the crash of
this plane. Mr. Hoover infonned me that the Civil Aeronautics Board
was investigating this disaster and what I had sent to him would be
forwarded to them, the C.A.B.

f

/

In the month of March, 196.5, the C.A.B., released a report that this
accident and cause was due to a lightning strike.
I protested to Senator Case of New Jersey. Senator Case mailed me
the official report by the C.A.B., along with a letter by a Mr. John
Dregge, Director Community and Congressional Relations.
Upon reading the Official C. A.B. report on this accident and also
this letter I have come to the conclusion that neither the C.A.B. or
the writer of this letter know what they are talking about and have
missed the point completely.

'7age 8 line 20 to line 25 inclusive reads as follows :
(Metal splatters on the leading edge of the horizontal stabilizer were
identified by spectrographic analysis as being formed from two
different aluminum alloys. However, these alloys could not be
identif'ied since the chemical composi tion of the deposits did not
conform to any alloy used in the airplane. The long axis of the
deposits varied from 18 degrees inboard to 4 degrees outboard.)
On July 18, 1964, I made another observation, the detail s of which
I sent to Harvard College Observatory, Cambridge, Mass. (This
sighting was Astronomical not a man made object) , a copy of their
return letter is enclosed.
Somehow both of these observations had something in connnon, the
color. I proceeded to experiment and have arrived at the following
conclusions, after several hundred experiments had taken place.

I have bought books on Astr ononzy- and also books on Flying Saucers.
I lmow that t his object was not astronomical in any way nor was it a
Flying Saucer.

This object was a cleverly design missle camouflaged to appear as a
Meteor or as a Flying Saucer.
However, this missle failed to operate as planned that is how I :kas
able to see the complete details of the color and also the design,
which I furnished to the government. I also lmow why this design
was used and also why the colors were arranged as they were. }tr
experiments proved this.
Thru m;y experiments I have been able to determine the followings
1. Where they get the tremendous speed from.
2. The wobbling effect they have on occasion.
J. Appearing to o~llate about their vertical axis.
4. Why they make no noise, condensation, or exhaust.
!,. Whoshing and wheezing, humming noise on occasions.
6. D'!fferent colors they have.
7. Pulsating light.-Luminous appearance.
8. Different forms and shape.
These objects are constantly being sent over both the North and South
.Americas by Russia. Anyone seeing these objects are instantly
responsive as 'to a fl.ying saucer. SUbjected to ridicule if' this be
mentioned to any one, and/or reported to the authorities. •

- • Russia is ....
,

m,are of this fact and has cap, alized upon this fact.

,. They have in this way been able to penetrate our Radar System undetected.
To conclude !
The present situation can be blamed upon the various governmental
agencies who in the past have scoffed at and ridiculed people who
have reported these sightings.
Now we are about to pay with 60, 000,000 .American lives or more.
11So.me price 11 •

Our one hope is that Russia and China will go to war against one another.
This then will give us time to created an effective and efficient Radar
system that cannot be penetrated.
I am not a Phophet of Doom, just an American Citizen who is concerned
about the future of America.

July 28, 1964

Mr. Edward A. Stewart, Jr.
152 Mount Holly Avenue
Mount Holly, New Jersey
Dear Mr. Stewart:
The object you saw was a bright meteor, sometimes
called a "fireball" or a 1'bolide 11 • Almost all vecy
bright meteors are small bodies moving in orbits rather
like the orbits of asteroids, and probably are fragments
of asteroids. The direction of motion of your \meteor
is consistent with that sort of orbit. A good many
bright' meteors strike the earth each day, but most go
unnoticed. We have received another report of the same
meteor from Wilmington, Delaware.
I am sending your observation to the Moonwatch
Division of the Smithsonian Astrophysical Observatocy
here in Cambridge, which has a continuing program for
analysis of visual observations of bright meteors.
Since it is vecy rarely possible for the professional
astronomer to observe these meteors, most of what is
known about them depends on this sort of lucky chance .

INFORMATION CONCERNING
Mr. Wood telephonically contacted the Bureau at
12:50 a.m. 5/16/69 and spoke with SA Stephen F. Mcinerney,
Special Investigative Division.
s.-:auc.-er...S.
r--wood stated he is a former CIA Agent and wanted
to report to the Director that recently he has been seeing
O flyingjobjects. He requested that the Director call him on
5/16769 concerning this matter. He was advised that
Mr. Hoover would be unavailable.
From Wood's tone of voice it appeared he was
intoxicated. He advised ·that he was recently discharged
as a patient from the psycho ward of a Veteran's hospital .
Information in Bureau indices (66-3182-8679)
indicates individual possibly identical with captioned
subject called Bureau 5/ 1/69, at which time he rambled
about numerous subjects and his speech indicated he had
been drinking. At that time no record identifiable with
Wood was located in Bureau files.

j

ACTION: For information. A check is being made with CIA
to determine if they have a former agent identical with Wood.*

Dear Sirs;
There currently are rumors over the grapevine and
in print that suggest men with oriental features wearing dark clothes go
around terrorizing people who have had close-up views of UFO's.
It is also rumored these creatures have impersonated armed forces officers
and FBI investigators. They are supposed to ride around in black or dark
automobiles that either have old licence tags or none at a ll . Several are
reported to have attemped to run down witnesses of UFO s ightings, made
disturbingl3,1mcrst macabre phone calls , s ilenced several investigators who
were supposed to have learned some dark secret about extraterrestial craft
or mission pla ns and epened mail, tapped telephones and even taken pictures
of several homes where UFO witnesses lived.
Can you give me any information on such rumors? Or can you
refer me to a source whose facilities can answer my questions?
this information will hel p settle some disturbing questions
the readers of my articles. Personally I am not sure at all whether I can
fully accept t hese rumours as facts. I need more information.
Any information you s upply can ease the worries of people
who feel that the objects unknown they see in the sky may portend the visit
of a mysterious visitor.

I understand that Mr. Castles prepared a formal report of

'There are a number of universities and professional
scientific organizations such as the American Association for
the Advancement of Science, which have considered UFO
phenomena during periodic meetings and seminars. In addition,
a list of private organizations interested in aerial phenomena
may be found in Gale's Encyclopedia of Associations (Edition 8,
Vol I, pp. 432-3). Such timely review of the situation by
private groups insures that sound evidence will not be overlooked by the scientific community.

UFO FACT SHEET

On December 17, 1969 the Secretary of the Air Force
announced the termination of Project Blue Book, the Air Force
program for the investigation of UFOs.
The decision to discontinue UFO investigations was based
on an evaluation of a report prepared by the University of
Colorado entitled, "Scientific Study of Unidentified Flying
Objects;" a review of the University of Colorado's report by
the National Academy of Sciences; past UFO studies; and Air
Force experience investigating UFO reports during the past
two decades.
As a result of these investigations and studies, and
experience gained from investigating UFO reports since 1948 ,
the conclusions of Project Blue Book are:
(1) no UFO reported,
investigated, and evaluated by the Air Force has ever given
any indication of threat to our national security; (2) there
has been no evidence submitted ~o or discovered by the Air
Force that sightings categorized as "unidenti fied" represent
technological developments or principles beyond the range of
present day scientific knowledge; and (3) there has been no
evidence indicating that sightings categorized as "unidentified"
are extraterrestrial vehicles.
With the termination of Project Blue Book , the Air Force
regulation establishing and controlling the program for investigating and analyzing UFOs was rescinded. All documentation
regarding the former Blue Book investigation has been permanently transferred to the Modern Military Branch, National
Archives and Records Service, 8th and Pennsylvania Avenue,
Washington, D.C. 20408, and is available for public review
and analysis.
Attached for your information is the Project Blue Book
sighting summary for the period 1947 -1969. Also included is
a listing of UFO-related materials currently available.
Since the termination of Project Blue Book, no evidence
has been presented to indicate that further investigation of
UFOs by the Air Force is warranted. In view of the considerable Air Force commitment of resources in the past, and the
extreme pressure on Air Force funds at this time, there is
no likelihood of renewed Air Force involvement in this area.

SUBJECT:

WHITE HOUSE INQUIRY RE
~IDENTIFIED FLYING OBJECTS (UFO)
Stanley Schneider of the Office of Science and
Ted hnology, White House , telephonically contacted me today to
inquire as to the Bureau ' s procedure for handling information
received from the public or otherwise, relating to sightings
of UFOs. He advised that Jody Powell of the President ' s sta ff
has raised the question as to whether or not there is any
coordination within the Executive Branch relating to information
concerning this subject . He stated that the U. S . Air Force had
closed their investigation of these matters several years ago
and currently does nothing but refer such information to
appropriate local authorities .
I advised him that as far as the FBI is concerned
there appears to be no conceivable jurisdiction for us to oono,µct
any inquiries upon receipt of information relating to a UFO
sighting and , in the absence of some investigative jurisdiction
based upon the information furnished , that information would be
refe rred to the Department of the Air Force without any action
being taken by the Bureau.
He thanked me for the information and stated that if
any further contact was necessary he would call back .
