Dow: Sua carta de 31 de agosto, com anexos, foi recebida e agradeço o interesse que a levou a escrever. Em resposta à sua consulta, este Bureau é estritamente uma agência investigativa do Governo Federal e, como tal, não faz avaliações nem tira conclusões quanto ao caráter ou integridade de qualquer organização, publicação ou indivíduo. Lamento não poder ser de ajuda para a senhora; no entanto, pode ter certeza de que sua comunicação será registrada. Atenciosamente, John Edgar Hoover Diretor NOTA: Os arquivos do Bureau não contêm registro de Kaew ep iy O4 ou Amalgamated Flying Saucer Clubs of America, Inc. CÓPIA FIEL 31 de agosto de 1966 J. E. Hoover, Diretor do F.B.I. Wash. D. C. Prezado Senhor: Sou membro da "Nicap" e estou muito interessada em OVNIs (Discos Voadores). Há algumas semanas, um colega de trabalho recebeu uma carta (comercial) do Arizona com um selo no verso (veja anexo). Como me interesso por OVNIs, pedi o selo e enviei US$ 3,00 pelas 12 edições da AFSCA. Tendo recebido e lido minha primeira edição, sinto que não é exatamente o que parece à primeira vista. Não sei dizer exatamente por quê, mas com minha ideia limitada de como os comunistas operam, me parece que é apoiado por eles. Meu motivo para escrever isto é que me considero uma verdadeira americana; me disseram que meus ancestrais remontam a uma bisavó que era uma índia e tenho orgulho disso. Se, ao escrever para este Relatório da AFSCA, meu nome puder de alguma forma ser alinhado com o partido comunista, gostaria de saber se há alguma maneira de esclarecer as coisas. Posso estar totalmente enganada sobre minha interpretação deste relatório, mas gostaria de ter certeza, já que espero receber as outras edições conforme forem saindo. Farei 63 anos em poucos dias. Meu marido faleceu em 30/04/65. Trabalhei como Gerente do Departamento de Reins para a N. H. Ins Co em Manchester, N. H., por 44 anos este mês. Atenciosamente, Sra. Levi J.

J. E. Hoover, F.B.I. Director
Wash. D. C.
Dear Sir:
I ama member of "Nicap"' and am very much
interested in U. F.O-(Flying 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.O'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 wayI ~~
can get things straightened out.
I may be all wrong about my interpretation of this
report but i'd like to be sure since I expect I will get the other issues
as they come up. Rec 98 : ye Y4 ’
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
Co in Manchester N. H 44 years this month

SPECIAL AFSCA
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 electronic-technician whose
remarkable story we priptsd in issues #18, 19;,20)21,
ani 22, and which will be continued in our next issue.
Since Bob's initial radio contact in 1961, he has
talked with the crew of a spacecraft as he watched
them on his special TV screen in his home — and
eventually met his contacts in-person; visited their
undersea and underground bases on our planet; was
taken aboard many of their spaceships; and was
actually allowed to pilot two of their small scout
craft — one on a short solo flight.)
"Kalo (Hello), friends. We will get directly to
the point of our message to you. Frankly, we are
appalled at the state of Earth at present. Despite our
constant warnings and even our actual intervention in
some instances, the condition upon your planet grows
-steadily worse.
One subject on everyone's lips these days is
Vietnam. From a little civil war, it has grown
steadily and inexorably into a full scale conflict
between the world's three major powers: the United
States, the Soviet Union, and Communist China.
Many influential people have used the approach
of patriotism and love of God and Country to twist
decent human feelings into dangerous channels of
thought and action. With their charges of treason and
sympathy with the enemy, they have aroused a good
portion of the populace to a state of fear, distrust,
and hatred of those who seek peace and love. Unfor-
tunately, because some unconventional individuals
have been associated with the peace movement, that
entire operation has been seriously hindered.
Your government is a military puppet, a mere
parrot of the monstrosity that is the Military-Indus-
trial complex. Your senators, except for a few, are
robots, speaking what they are told to say.
Your President is, unfortunately, a pawn of
their needs and demands. We have contacted him
several times concerning the state of affairs, and he
has said that he could do nothing to change them, for
if he were to speak out against the Asian conflict, he
would be removed. This is what happened to the late
Mr. Kennedy who, in his great humanitarianism, was
reluctant to sacrifice his ideals and his visions for
the sake of the Military Industrial octopus. He paid
the supreme penalty for his efforts in behalf of
CONVENTION
MESSAGE
humanity.
Make no mistake. Your government is not in the
White House or the Congress. IT IS IN THE PENTA-
GON, AND IN THE HEADQUARTERS OF THE VAST
"DEFENSE'"-ORIENTED INDUSTRIES. It is THEY,
not the President or the Congressmen, who run the
United States. The facade government is merely to
allay undue alarm or suspicion of the people.
Examine another aspect of the Asian war, the
ECONOMIC side. Do you recall that, in the stock
reports just recently, the Dow-Jones average
dropped sharply BECAUSE OF A RUMOR THAT
NORTH VIETNAM HAD MADE A PEACE BID? Does
the staggering implication of this news evade you?
Stock prices suffering a heavy loss because of a
rumor that peace might come to pass!
This thought is most distressing. Your economy
relies so heavily upon war and destruction, that if it
were to stop, THE UNITED STATES ECONOMY
WOULD SUFFER A MASSIVE DEPRESSION! Your
money system would collapse like a house of cards.
Millions would be unemployed, sick, hungry and
homeless, Tremendous industrial complexes would
close their doors.
The utterly appalling fact is this: WARIS
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 Il, the nation coasted for a while
upon the fat put on during the boom of the war years.
In 1929, the bottom fell out. After the Korean War,
in the 1950's came another recession. What comes
after Vietnam? No one knows, and no one wants to
find out. The war in Vietnam is bringing an unheard-
of degree of affluence in the United States. Why kill
a good thing by ending the war? The philosopy, in
essence, is this: It is economically expedient to send
military forces to Vietnam and elsewhere in Asia in
order to wage war, because in doing so, the United
States' economy is bolstered and maintained at a high
level of prosperity; human life is secondary to the
preservation of economic well-being!
It is thus evident that, unless a drastic change is
made in the structure of your economy, war will
never end because the Military-Industrial complex
WON'T LET IT!
Many of you fear Communism. Where did that
fear come from, I ask you? From within yourself?
NO! It was brainwashed into you by the Military-
Industrial complex. Who controls all your news
media? The government and the advertisers. Who,
then, is in a position to dictate what shall be printed?

OUR NEW NAME: Our magazine, formerly
called ''UFO International", has now become ''Flying
Saucers International", which we feel to be a more
appropriate title, since Flying Saucers are no longer
Unidentified Flying Objects as far as we are concern-
ed. Flying Saucers have become a serious issue
with thinking people all over the world. We believe
that most of the objects which have been sighted have
been of extraterrestrial origin, controlled by intelli-
gent beings who, in form, are very much like us.
Therefore, we hope you will understand our reasons
for changing titles, and that you will continue to
enjoy reading our publication under its new banner.
DR. RAYMOND BERNARD, founder of the
Biosophical Society of Santa Caterina, Brazil, passed
away on Sept. 10, 1965. He was the author of ''The
Hollow Earth" and several other books concerned
with the hollow earth theory.
MARIA ELLIOTT, contactee, psychic and
founder of Maria Creative Womanhood Foundation,
was a recent guest on the Bob Grant Radio Show, and
the Pamela Mason TV Show. Glamorous Maria now
has her own program every Tuesday afternoon at
2:30 p.m. on KTYM radio. She may be seen in
person every Wed. evening at Holland House Restau-
rant, 8:00 p.m. in the downstairs meeting room.
An interesting program may be heard on New Age
Topics, and free readings are given. For more
information about Maria's appearances, classes,
etc., phone 657-1631, or write: Dr. Maria Elliott;
1543 Sunset Plaza Drive; Los Angeles, Calif. 90069.
DR. GEORGE KING, founder of the Aetherius
Society, was host at the official opening of the
Society's new headquarters at 6202 Afton Place; Los
Angeles, Calif. 90028; on March 5, 1966. After the
program Dr. King personally escorted us around the
attractive quarters. He also reported that a high
Space Being in physical form had visited there
recently for an hour and fifteen minutes and, after
14
NEWS IN BRIEF
walking around the premises, left his blessing on the
Aetherius Society and its work. For further inform-
ation call 465-9652, or write to the above address.
DELLA LARSON, who for over a decade was the
guiding light and main instigator of Flying Saucer
meetings and activities in 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 goals 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 now-
defunct ''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'' mag-
azine which may be found on the newstands for 50¢.
The August '66 issue devotes about half of its space to
the Flying Saucer subject and will be well worth your i
investigation. 7
WiLBUR MILLER, one of the early researchers
in the Flying Saucer Movement, passed away on
March 5, 1966. He was known for his fine channel
contacts with several Space Beings, including Monaka
of Mars. He also was the co-author — with his wife,
Evelyn — of the book 'We of the New Dimension."
Although he was a native of Missouri he had, in
recent years, been a resident of Los Angeles and of
Morongo Valley, Calif. (Good journey, Will!)
HOPE TROXELL, founder of the School of
Thought, now situated in Independence, Calif. (P.O.
Box 458), reported recently that the neighboring
towns of Bishop and Lone Pine had partial blackouts
during an evening channel (teltpathic) session she was
having with the Space Brothers. The lights in Inde-
pendence went out completely for several minutes by
a gradual fade-out, and then came on again in the
same manner. During this time, the Space Being
speaking through Hope said to those present: ''Be not
afraid. We are guardians of the race. Protection
will be given to those in the area."'
HAL WILCOX made a fine guest appearance on
the Joe Pyne TV Show, April 30, 1966. Hal passed
the lie-detector test with flying colors and conducted

HELEN & GABRIEL GREEN contributed their
bit to the education of nearly 300,000 young people to
the saucer subject at the Teen-Age Fair, April 1 thru ¢
10 at the Hollywood Palladium, where AFSCA hada
booth to exhibit saucer photos, show slides, and to
disseminate information. We handed out over 13,000
brochures and saucer photo post cards, and talked
ourselves hoarse answering questions for 12 hours
each day. Gabriel also made over a dozen radio and
TV appearances and interviews during the Fair.
We also had another booth at the National
Aviation and Aerospace Exhibition at the Pan Pacific
Auditorium, May 17 thru 22. Yes, we've been busy!
The Military-Industrial complex, by opinion-control
through the use of psycho-politics (brainwashing by
controlled news management).
Consider this: In order to survive, a commer-
cial medium, such as a newspaper or magazine,
requires a vast amount of advertising revenue. The
mere subscription fees will not cover the costs.
Thus, they depend for their continued existence upon
money paid by advertisers. Suppose, then, that the
editor of a certain newspaper decides that he is
opposed to the Vietnam policy, and says so in his
paper. The advertisers simply say to the editor,
"Fither you toe the mark and print what we want, or
we'll withdraw our advertising."
Such pressures are a fact of life. The newsmen
are torn between their higher devotion to Truth, and
also to the lower level of their physical needs.
Rather than jeopardize their security and their
futures they, of course, submit meekly to power.
Their actions are fully understandable, and we do not
hold them responsible.
We throw the blame directly on the Military-
Industrial complex which, by its underhanded dealing,
threats of force, and economic pressure and retali-
ation, has crushed the spirit of American journalism
and turned it from a dynamic motivating force in
American life into a weak-willed, subservient
mouthpiece for the power-masters. We blame them
for the death of journalistic freedom and individuality!
One more comment on this topic: May I say that
a better economic system is already known to the
leaders of the Flying Saucer Movement. It is the
system known as Universal Economics. As we have
said over and over before, it is the non-money
economic system which MUST be applied on your
planet before you can start to resolve most of your
major problems and thus begin to establish a highly-
advanced, non-destructive state of existance on
Earth, such as we of more advanced planets have
enjoyed for solong. 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 appear-
ance. We are humanoid, indistinguishable from
yourselves, except that in our natural form we aver-
age three to four feet in height. Every other dimen-
sion is proportionately scaled, so that photographs of
us would not reveal our origin in any way.
We are able to increase our height while on
Earth through a technical process related to telepor-
tation. It is concerned with recording the atomic and
molecular structures of our bodies, and then repro-
ducing them identically on a larger scale. Differ-
ences in our internal structure are adjusted by the
computer which controls the reproducer.
Our most common skin color is a little darker
than yours, although we have skin colors which vary
as yours do all over the Earth. Usually, however,
we would look ''tan'' to you. We are NOT green, blue,
or heliotrope, as has been suggested! _
Concerning our language, we generally use one
of two tongues and we are fairly familiar with a third.
On Korendor itself we speak the native language,
Korendian. It is similar in many ways to your own
languages since it, like yours, was originally derived
from Galingua, one of the two universal tongues.
The other is Solex Mal, which is more familiar to
you, since it is used by your local Solar System
planets. It is seldom heard now in our sector of
space, as Galingua has replaced it almost completely.
Unlike your own, however, the Korendian-
Galinguan speech is very rhythmic, and has few
sibilant sounds, such as "'s'' or ''z''. Some of the
sharper sounds like ''c"' and "'k"' are minimized.
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 is
truly a crime against nature and humanity.
At this stage where you have the very stars
almost in your grasp, how irrational and barbaric it
is to spend futile hours warring with your brothers.
As an old saying on your world puts it: ''As you make
your bed, so shall you lie in it.'' The decision does
not seem difficult. Here are the alternatives: A
world living in harmony, justice, security and abun-
dance for all, or a world continuing to reap the
bloody harvests that grow from the seeds of hatred
and mistrust. If left to their own devices, the
majority of mankind will forge onward to a destiny of
destruction and annihilation, oblivious to the danger
in their actions. They are short-sighted; they care
little for the future.
It is you New Age people, dedicated to the wel-
fare of all mankind, and having the vision and under-
standing 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, belongs 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 desolation, but in the magnifi-
cent 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.

New ‘Fireball’ Raises
An Old Question: Do
Flying Saucers Exist?
*
Californian, Who “Talks’ to Men
From the Stars, Says ‘Yes’;
Scientists Assail Air Force
By ELLIOT CARLSON
Staff Reporter of THE WALL STREET JouURNAL
They’se back. The latest was sighted a few
|| nights ago by residents and pilots in the north-
ern tier of states and Canada. They described
it as an orange fireball. "The Air Force'at first
called it an unidentified flying object, but now
thinks it was a meteor. Some other people
called it a flying saucer. ;
Several people say they saw the fireball] land
‘| Thursday night. An 11-year-old boy in Lorain,
Ohio, says he watched it drop into the woods
near his home. A woman in Elyria, Ohio, 10
miles away, claims she saw it plunge into a
vacant lot across the street from her home.
Others say they saw it streak into Lake Michi-
gan. Scientists and police combed a 75-acre
area near Pittsburgh after a woman there saw
the object crash to earth ‘‘smoldering.’’.
, Despite these witnesses and search efforts,
however, the thing has yet to be found. In this
regard, it is like all other unidentified flying
objects, or UFOs, which are mysterious be-
j.cause they are seen but never found.
‘Whatever it turns out to be—meteor, satel-
Htepart, hoax, weather oddity or man from
Mars-it appeared ina banner year Yor: such

consciousness following & rash of. reports’ of
flying saucers in the mid-1950s: ‘‘We’ve had
‘| mére reports this year-than in’any year since
:| 1957, when we had more than a thousand,” says
a spokesman -for Project Blue Book, the Air
‘| Force program set up in 1948 to evaluate re-
ports of the phenomena.
Visitors From Outer Space
Nobody knows what the objects are or where
|| they come from, but there is no-lack of theories
—or of controversy. The Amalgamated Flying
Saucer Clubs of America, Inc., is sure the
come from outer space. How do
they know? The’ “‘space people’ have told
them.
Not only that, says Gabriel Green, who
heads the California group, ‘‘space people give
contactees information about life on other
Planets and solutions to insurmountable prob-
}lems on our planet.”” One suggestion allegedly
made to Mr. Green in 1960 by a visit from Al-
pha Centauri, ‘a nearby star: Run for Presi-
dent as a write-in candidate. (He campaigned
lefly, then decided not to run.)
The National Investigations Committee on
Aerial Phenomena (NICAP), a private re-
search organization in Washington, doesn’t
hold with that theory. ‘We reject reports of
noble beings landing on earth to solve all our
problems,” says a spokesman. So men from
Mars are a lot of bunk? Not necessarily, says
the committee. It believes q Congressional in-
vestigation would prove that UFOs “are real
physical objects . . . under the control of living
beings.”” As an afterthought, the ‘spokesman
says: ‘‘There are a tremendous umber of ego-
maniacs who have been able to appoint them-
selves experts in this field because it’s so con-
fused.”’
One man who’s not confused at all is Charles
.A. Maney, professor emeritus of physics. and
mathematics at Defiance, College in Ohio. Says
The spokesman quickly adds: ‘“‘We have nei-
ther received nor discovered any evidence that
proves the existence of intraspace mobility or
extraterrestrial life and we continue to extend
an open invitation to anyone who feels he pos-
sesses any evidence of such vehicles operating
in our atmosphere.” And he states: ‘‘No UFO
report evaluated by the Air Force has ever
given ary indication of a threat to our national
security.”
The Air. Force’s approach disturbs some
people, however. ‘‘The Air Force should admit.
there are natural phenomena taking place un-
der our noses of which we know nothing,’’ says
I. M. Levitt, director of Fels Planetarium at the
Franklin Institute in Philadelphia. He adds:
“The Air Force is trying to explain something
that isn’t susceptible to explanation.”
Robert Risser, director of the Oklahoma Sci-
ence and Art Foundation planetarium at Okla-
homa City, believes ‘‘the Air Force must have
had its star-finder upside down during Aug-
ust,’? when several reparts of flying saucers
were ascribed by the Air Force to sightings of
stars. ‘The constellations of Taurus and Orion
weren’t visible at the time the Air Force said
the sightings were made. I think they made an
error.””
The whole problem, says J. Allen Hyntek,
chairman of the department of astronomy at
Northwestern University and a consultant to
the Air Force, is that the matter should be
studied more thoroughly. .
“Pressures to conformity in academic cir-
cles and fear of ridicule have slowed the
study,’’ according to Robert Hall, a sociology
professor at the University of Illinois in Chi-
cago.
“The ypossibility of life on Mars is an un-
popular thing to consider these days,” says
Frank B. Salisbury, a professor of plant phy-
siology at Colorado State University. At the
risk of being unpopular, Mr. Salisbury told the
fifth annual Space Conference. this year ‘that
“there may be some natural explanation of
these things, but a tentative possibility to .be
considered is ‘that UFOs are spaceships from
ars.”
Fueling the flying-saucer controversy has
been the large number of reports from what
many people ider reliable wit: —pilots
with technical backgrounds. Since 1947, more
than 100 private, military and commercial pilots
have reported spotting strange objects in the
sky, according to one study.
Pinning down such reports is difficult, how-
ever. ‘‘Some of the boys did report things they
couldn't identify a few years ago,’’ says\a
spokesman for American Airlines. '‘‘But™ our
pilots haven’t made a report for years.”
Nevertheless, ‘‘we have on file a great num-
ber of reports from pilots who don’t want their
names used but still want to tell somebody
what they’ve seen, claims J. B. Hartanft, Jr.,
president of the Aircraft Owners and Pilots As- |.

conclusions myself, but I think we’ve certainly
got.a.good mystery on our hands.’’

100 Watch UFO
Disc-Like Object Hovers,. Rises
For Two Hours East of Kettle Point
By JIM ETHERINGTON
Free Press Sarnia Bureau
SARNIA — A revolving ob-
ject, sighted in the sky east
of Kettle Point last night, was
watched for more than two
hours by about 100 persons.
Lawrence Bressette, who op-
erates a store on the Kettle
Point Indian Reserve, said a
motorist brought the object*to
his attention about 8 p.m. He
said he looked at it through
binoculars and could see red,
blue, green and white lights
flashing from the disc-shaped
object.
Mr. Bressette said it re--
mained motionless for about
an hour flashing lights, then
slowly began to rise. Cloud
cover rolled in about 10 p.m.,
allowing only periodic sight-
ings.
“T’ve never seen anything
like this,” he said. ‘We all
UFO sightings were received
Saturday night as far north
as the tip of the ‘“‘Thumb”’ in
Lake Huron.
Odd lights were reported in
the sky over Oakland County
and the neighboring Detroit
area. Others were reported
westward in the Lansing area.
Dr. J. Allen Hynek of North-
western University, scientific
consultant to the U.S. Air
Forte said phenomena seen
at Dexter and Hillsdale on the
night of March 20 probably
were the result of | swamp
gases,

saw it. It was low — about 200 |
or 300 feet off the ground to
the east. Then it slowly began
to move up.”
Mr. Bressette said it could
not have been swamp gas
which was suggested was the
cause of unidentified ‘flying
object sightings in the Detroit
ayea last week.
“T’ve seen swamp gas lights.
This was not the same,” he
‘said. “Besides there —‘hasn’t
been any swamp gas lights
around here since before the
war.” re
\Mr. Bressette said his breth-
er, Jeffery, also reported see-
ing an object over Sarnia. This
one stayed stationary for a
short time then shot across
the sky at a very high speed.
An officer’in control opera-
tions at Selfridge Air Force
Base, Mount Clemens, Mich.,
said the Canadian sighting
was the fourth reported to
him last night. ©The other
three were fromthe Detroit
area, ;
He said no radar reports}
had been obtained on any of
the sightings.
Mr, .Bressette reported jet
‘planes in the area at one
point while the group watched
along the Lake Huron shore.
But there was no possibility
the object he saw was a jet.
In Michigan new reports of
the professor: ‘‘These objects are ion-
ing on the fact that the objects often interfere
with local electrical circuits, indicating to him
they have ‘‘a means of propulsion associated
with magnetic fields.”
“There’s Nothing To It’
Such notions are scoffed at by astronomers, ||
of science,” says Donald H. Menzel, di-
rector of the observatory at Harvard. “I have
tacular, such as reflections from ice crystals or
bright stars, searchlights on clouds or high-

tence of flying saucers is a matter of religious
fanaticism,” he says.
But Mr. Menzel réads more into the Air
Force data than does the Air Force itself. Of
the 9,786 UFO reports made to the Air Force
since 1947, 673 remain claSsified as i‘‘unidenti-

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 multiple wit-
nesses, It is author Edwards! contention that UFOs are space
vehicles sent to observe activities on earth and the Air Force,
which is charged with the responsibility of investigating UFOs,
has deliberately withheld information and given misleading
explanations because it fears a mass panic by the public if
the public were told the truth.
The book describes UFOs as polished metal objects,
radiating heat and light (sufficient to have burned witnesses
who were too near), and emitting some force field that inter-
feres with electromagnetic instruments and power sources,
Colors range from brilliant white to dull reds and brilliant
orange. Some objects have carried blinking lights. There are
three basic shapes: 1) zeppelin-shaped ships up to 300 feet
long; 2) disk-shaped objects ranging from a few feet in dia-
meter to 100 feet, with many reported at about 30 feet diameter;
and 3) egg-shaped objects, which according to the author are
the ones most recently sighted.
According to the book, the objects move silently and
attain fantastic speeds, yet can hover motionless in mid-air;
they have been reported to land and to take off with great
speed, usually with a burst of light from the underside, which
in some cases has left the ground beneath them scorched.
Many of the persons named in the book who have re-
ported them are reliable individuals, including law enforce-
ment officers, military personnel on official duty, military
pilots, commercial airline pilots, civilian defense officials,
etc. A number of photographs of the objects have been repro-
duced in the book, some reportedly taken by reputable persons.
Many reported sightings are from atomic and missile researc!
areas,
Wreckage of crashed saucers has been reportedly re-
covered on at least three occasions, in one case deseribed as
a magnesium alloy, in another as pure magnesium, and in a third
case, attributed to an official of the Canadian government, the
material was described as an exceptionally hard unknown metal,
actually a matrix of magnesium orthosilicate which contained
thousands of 15-micron metal spheres throughout, and showing
evidence of micro-meteorites on its surface.

ARMED FORCES
Focus on UFO
Winking, blinking and nod-
ding — red lights over Pasa-
dena, blue lights over
Greensboro, silVer cigars
over Detroit — people kept
seeing strange flying objects,
and officials kept saying
nothing was out there.
But in recent years, and
pa war]; ce last sum-
mer, the e had been
mounting £ ther a full-
scale Congr onal in ti-
gation or for the establish-
ment of an independent, ci-
n-controlled investigato-
agency.
‘lying Objects.
The sightings had come in
bunches, the bulk of them
last spring and summer. And
the reports had come from
all over,
“Like Neon Lamps”
Among the most intriguing
items in this year’s crop:
@ At Milan, Michigan, 15
miles south of Ann Arbor,
bluish- yellow bars of light
were spotted, looking “like
neon lamps dangling in the
sky.”
© In East Delhi, Mich., a
15-year-old boy called in to
report seeing lights in the
sky alternately standing still
id moving, sometimes
ng on and off.
e@ Jn Altadena and San
Marino, Calif., police switch-
boards logged dozens of calls
after a pair of red lights in
the sky were reported by
residents.
© In Toledo, Ohio, officials
at the local airport received
seven calls from persons who
said they saw a glowing ob-
ject that was red, green and
white,
e@ In suburban -Detroit,.a
man saw a noiseless, wing-
less, cigar-shaped flying ob-
ject. :
e In Bryan, Texas, resi-
‘dents said they heard a
star-like object purr.
@ Over Valdese, N.C., a
“glowing blue thing” explod-
ed, then lit up the town like a
giant flashbulb.
Sometimes the alleged

y he little
men glowed, and they were
described as ‘‘three feet tall,
with eyes like saucers and
claws.”
Nebraska
ivited into a
space ship where he chatted
with four men and two wom-
en. They spoke only broken
English—but fluent High
German which, as it hap-
pened, was the grain buyer’s
native tongue.
Silvery Cigar
Nor did America have any
corner on the UFO market.
In Northern Ireland, Tom
Hutchinson saw a saucer

home in Moneymore. It was

ameter, 18 inches high. It be-
gan to spin and Hutchinson
* grabbed it. He was carrying
it to the police, who de-
scribed him as “level-headed
and God-fearing,’’ when the
thing twisted out of his hands
and got away.
And in Warminster, Eng-
land, a city council worker
said he saw a silvery cigar
shape drifting over the vil-
lage downs. After a time, he
s it seemed to stretch.
Then it seemed to divide
amidships with a flash of or-
ange light, although there
was no noise.
Flaming Object
Not all the sightings could
be easily written off as the
phantasmagoria of kooks,
eranks and drunks. And, un-
Jess one subscribed to a theo-
ry of mass hallucination, it
was difficult to explain away
ultaneous sightings con-
firmed by many rational wit-
nesses — such as the flaming
object that was seen last
April by thousands of East
Coast residents from Wash-
ington to Boston and even
temporarily disrupted a ball
game between the Chicago
White Sox and the Wash-
ington Senators in Wash-
ington, D. C.
Or the incident in Hills-
dale, Michigan last March, in
which a Civil] Defense Direc-
tor, an assistant dean, and 87
coeds reported that they had
seen a glowing object zip
past their college dormitory
and hover in a swamp for
hours. Witnesses said they
watched from the second
floor of the Hillsdale College
girls dormitory as the object
wobbled, wavered, glowed
eerily and once zipped right
at a dormitory window be-
fore stopping suddenly.
A Meteor?

of the 11,000 sightings since

planations. “The mysterious
flaming object in the East
was “probably a meteor.”
As for Michigan’s much-
publicized and plentiful
unidentified flying objects,
they turned out to be

a distingu astronomer
led y Air Force to
investigate the Hillsdale af-
fair.
Every report of a “flying
saucer” had ostensibly been
ehecked out by the Ai
Force’s special squad known
as “Project Blue Book,” al-
though the staff was woefully
small. Of the 10,1 ghtings
since 1947, the Air Force
insisted that only 646 remain
explained — and most of
these because of insufficient
information. The others have
been attributed to planes,
balloons, astronomical
causes, missiles, swamp gas,
meteors, fireworks and, in
some cases, to hallucinations
and psychological reasons.
Ball Lightning?
Philip Klass, avionics edi-
tor of Aviation Week & Space
Technology magazine,
recently proposed some other
explanations. Klass, an
electronics engineer, said a
form of “ball lightning,’’ gen-
erated by high tension power
lines, could explain the phe-
nomena.
Many of the sightings, said
Klass, occurred along or very
near high-tension lines where
luminous balls of ionized air
could be generated under
certain conditions.
‘No Threat’
The main _ conclusions
reached by the Air Force
were:
@ “No unidentified flying
objects reported, investigat-
ed and evaluated by the Air
Force have ever given a
dication of a threat to o'
national security.”
e “There has been no ev-

At 4:10 a.m., January 18, 1967, James 7 Collins,
212 Sharon Drive, Chesapeake, Virginia, telephone "547-4648,
advised that he desired to report that he had observed a large
oblong-shaped object which alighted in the street in front
of him when he was on his way home from his television repair
shop, the Oak Grove T. ¥., 6424. Great Bridge Road, Chesapeake,
Virginia. He believes that he was taken into this craft which
he recalls as being made of a glass like substance and being
transparent. It was manned by several individuals who appeared
to be undersized creatures similar to members of the human
race, probably not more than 4 feet tall. They were allegedly
wearing regular trouser pants and T-Shirts. Collins believes
that he was transported by this craft for an undetermined
distance and returned to his point of take-off approximately
one hour later.

Collins spoke in a coherent manner although he
appeared to be under certain emotional strain. He claimed
he had not been drinking any intoxicants but he was unable
to account for the time between 8:00 p.m. and 4:00 a.m.. He
stated he was telephoning from his workshOp)but had no recollection

INFORMATION CONCERNING
eu Ae vA
On ril 26, 1967, PAUL L, PEYERL, 1430 Southwest
76th Street, ami, 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 responsibility
to photograph the object while in flight. He asserted he
was able to retain a negative of a photograph he made at 7,000
meters (20,000 feet), A Xerox copy of the negative, as furnished
by PEYERL, appears on the last page of this communication,
Also, a still photograph he allegedly made "at the risk of my
life", illustrating the object parked in a hanger, appears on
the last page.
According to PEYERL, the aboye 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 Forcés upon the termination
of hostilities, PEYERL stated KUEHR unsuccessfully attempted
to avoid the German draft, but was apprehended by the Gestapo
RE; PAUL L, PEYERL
INFORMATION CONCERNING
in Vienna, Austria, sometime during late 1943 or early 1944,
PEYERL also assumed the secrets prtaining to this aircraft
were captured by Allied Forces, He said this type of aircraft
was responsible for the downing of at least one American B-26
airplane, He furnished the following fuel and engine data;
"....Fuel mixture of NoH4,0 in Methyl Alcohol
(CH3g0H) rather than 'oxygen-holding' mixture of
hydrogen peroxide Hj09 in water, 7m 1,3m high two

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,

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

76th Street, Miami, Florida, appeared at the Miami Office and
furnished the following information relating to an object,
presently referred to as an unidéntified flying object, he
allegedly photographed during November, 1944:
Sometime during 1943, te graduated from the
German Air Academy and was assigned as a member of the
Luftwaffe on the Russian Front. Near the end of 1944, he
was released from this duty and was assigned as a test
pilot to a top secret project in the Black Forest of Austria.
During this period he observed the aircraft described above.
It was saucer shaped, about twenty-one feet in diameter,
radio controlled, and mounted several jet engines around the
exterior portion of the craft. He further described the
exterior portion as revolving around the dome in the center
which remained stationary. It was PEYERL's responsibility
to photograph the object while in flight. He asserted he
was able to retain a negative of a photograph he made at 7,000
meters (20,000 feet). A Xerox copy of the negative, as furnished

Purpose and scope
This magazine has been dedicated to
MR. GEORGE ADAMSKI.
Mr. Adamski launched the IGAP — International Get
Acquainted Program — in 1959, based on the philosophy
that people in all parts of the world should be given
the opportunity of knowing what is going on everywhere
in the field of flying saucers. His hope was that as
many as possible would discover the truth of the pre-
sent age and turn to face the time to come — to learn
to accept, through conviction, the fact that we are all
citizens of the Cosmos and Children of the Cosmic Pow-
er whose Laws run through the entire Cosmos. These
Laws we can learn to comprehend through study and
understanding of the »Science of Life« brought to our
attention by the presence of friendly visitors from other
worlds.
The magazine is sent to civil and military authorities
all over the world, to leaders in the United Nations, in
the Vatican, in scientific circles, and to Press, radio
and TV authorities.
The purpose of this magazine is to bring to every-
one, everywhere, news of events from all quarters of
the globe in all its varied aspects. This means any news
that can possibly be of value in our endeavour to bring
to mankind an understanding of what is going on in our
world all the time. We shall try to detect any and every
move in the direction of that truth which we have acc-
epted, but which is not yet officially accepted or rec-
ognized in broader circles:
1. People from other worlds in our system are visit-
ing our planet.
. People from other worlds are in contact with cer-
tain political and scientific circles in East and West.
. People from all walks of life, official and unoffi-
cial, all over the world, have been contacted by
people from other worlds; such contacts have been
kept secret so far.
. The philosophy brought to the world by Mr. Geo-
rge Adamski is considered and aid helping to un-
cover the truth of our origin and our future destiny.
The magazine will make no attempt whatsoever to
fight anyone, in spite of any action which might be laun-
ched against it. Only the truth, whatever its guise, will
be brought to bear, to allow each to decide for himself
what he can and will accept in this wonderful world on
his march forward to new experiences.
This magazine is non-political, non-religious, non-sec-
tarian and non-profit-making. We hope that you may
profit from reading it, and that you will tell as many
as possible about it, — especially if you find it of value.
Please write to us if youfind it without value or if you
have any suggestions or comments to make.
Sincerely yours,
The Editors.

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

"WE ARE NOT OPPOSED TO A COURT JESTER
on the green lawns of the Royal Palace, provided he
is not taken for an astronomical philosopher — —’’.
Here, with all the arrogance of the self-opinion-
ated, self-appointed judge, in words of ignorance,
mated with bigotry and begotten of an inflated ego-
tism, we see a small section of that vociferous but
often influential Press opinion which always swallows
before it chews.
The occasion was the much-publicised, much-criti-
cised audience of Queen Juliana of the Netherlands
accorded to one George Adamski of California,
U.S.A., at Il a.m. on May 18th 1959, at Soestdijk
Palace, near Utrecht, Holland.
The vociferous Press opinion in this instance was
of the Catholic People’s Party newspaper, ’’Die
Volkskrant’’.
We could imagine the same self-elevated journa-
list writing: "We are not opposed to a court jester
in the private apartments at the Vatican, provid-
ed — —”’, on another May day, of another II a.m. au-
dience, much more secret, of much more potential
significance, four years later, when Adamski was
received at the bed-side of the dying Pope John.
Of the one audience, with a gracious First Lady,
the world’s sensation tabloids went to town. Lacking
the meat of the occasion on which to feast their
readers they gave them the bones and the offal, and
in the process they soiled and besmirched their own
honourable profession.
The second audience was spared this treatment,
and still is.
And so we can perceive how some of George
Adamski’s meetings with the famous received the
full blast of publicity, whilst others, conducted in a
secret undercurrent of diplomacy peopled with silent
couriers and intercontinental briefings, are still, very
much, ’'classified”’.
Adamski was NEVER afraid of the scoffers and the
critics, still less of the faceless spokesmen in autho-
rity. With energy which had to be seen to be be-
lieved, with courage of conviction based in sure
knowledge of his own experiences, and with fortitude
distilled from the sweet and the sour of his support-
ers and his detractors, HE DIDN’T GIVE A DAMN.
He could have written ’’pot-boilers’” of space-
fiction in his sunny California, like many of his cont-
emporaries, making a fortune from the credulous.
This is shown by the fact that his books became
world best-sellers in many languages. Yet in 12 years
he only offered TWO AND A HALF BOOKS to the
general public. Does this seem like a man who is
"on the make?”
No. Instead he pushed and shoved his way into the,
many times, inhospitable climate of ’’expert’’ analysis
and clinical dissection, saying: ’’Here is my evid-
ence, here is my story — TAKE IT OR LEAVE IT!”
AND HE DIED, DOING JUST THAT.
What kept him going for so long? What kept the
flame so bright for those 12-13 long, bitter-sweet
years? His tremendous sense of humour? YES! His
many thousands of friends and supporters the worl
