The secret of the "Flying Saucers" is a secret no longer. Two
weeks aco, WM, well-lnom Kansas City auto dealer, stopped over
in Denver returning from Ogden, Utah. ‘while there he called on the
manager and the assistant manager of the Tord agency there. Their
conversation was interrupted by a call from two engineers, arranging
an immediate meeting. One of these engineers, a man named
revealed some startling information.
sees Saucers
According to the story told by GMM he "crashed the pate" at
a radar station near the New lLiexico and Arizona border after tio weeks
of arranging. Here he saw two of the highly secret "flying saucers,"
One of these was badly damaged, while the other was almost perfectly
intact. These objects were space ships of an wmusual desig. They
consisted of two parts, a cockpit or cabin about six feet in diameter,
and a ring 18 feet across and about two feet thick surrowmded this
cabin. In flight, the ring revolved at a high rate of speed, while
the cabin remained stationary like the center of a gyroscope. The ship
has a bearing type tripod landing gear, The cabin was constructed of a
metal resem g aluminum, but the actual make-up of the metal has defied
analysis. da portion of this metal in his possession, and
gave it to one of the ord men with instructions to send it to the Dear-
born Ford plant laboratory to see if they could either melt it or analyze
it.
Crews Dead
Fach of the two ships seen by @ilMMewere occupied by a crew of
two, Inthe badly damaged ship, these bodies were charred so badly that
little could be leamed from then. The occupants of the other ship,
while dead when they were found, were not burned or disfisured, and,
when saw them, were in a perfect state of preservation. /ledical
reports, according to@§M——, showed that these men were almost identical
with earth-<dwelling humans, except for a few minor differences, They
were of a uniform height of three feet, were wmiformly blond, beardless
and their teeth were completely free of fillings or cavities.
Strange Cloth and Food
They were dressed in uniform clothing made from blue material un-
known on earth, the threads in the clothing seeming to be a sort of wire.

whether this vas the customary garb of these people, or whether these

In each ship was a quantity of food in tablet form. “ne tyne of

of Alka-Seltzer tablets. Another type vas a small brown cude, “hich,
when immersed in water, strelled to a volume of about a ralilon. ‘ater
contained in the ships had a wei;-ht tice as great as water on earth.
The ships seemed to be mametically controlled and vovered, as
they had no power plant in the ship itself. No armament or exploratory
equipment was found in them, and, since they seem to invariably crash
near radar installations, it is surmised that they are attracted by
radar, or possibly radar waves interfere with their control systems,

cl udin a clock or automatic calendar taken from one of the crafts.
It consis of two pieces of metal sandwiching some unusual tyne of

indentation, which, rotating around the disc, completed a cycle each
28 days, a lumar month.

was the planet Venus, for it is the only planet that has an atmosphere
in any vay similar to ours, and it seems to have mametic properties
that would make it the logical home base of these space shins.
Planned "Leak"
se Wille assumption as to the reason behind the apparent lack of
security is that the government desires the information to be spread
from unofficial sources, wtil people are more or less familiar with the
facts. He feels that the security departments of the military fear that
the sudden shock of a surprise announcement of the fact that inter-
planetary travel was possible mivht cause mass hysteria, No cause for
alarm seems necessary, however, for, from all indications, the Venusian
visitors are quite peaceful, and even wmwilling, visitors to our planet.
