"Thd Utica Press estimated that more than l0o0 calls about the object jammed

da's Flying Saucer Research Observatory..I am indebted for details to
BSR Assoc. Elder Charles Beck, a Buffalo, N.Y. minister who travels con-
siderably, uses 'saucer'material in his radio broadcasts, and has had
various interviews with Washington authorities on this subject. --
Immediately after hearing the INs account of the incident, Elder
Beck went to Canada (July 9) had a four-hour interview with La
Sarza. In this he had the fine cooperation of Michael Bolton, reporter
for the Sudbury Daily Star. Elder Beck, as is his custom, tock his
tape recorder along and obtained a tape recorded interview vith Ennio.
However, right after the talk, Ennio became so disturbed about how the
ecordtng migbt be in violatien of certs anromisee he had had to make
supplementary comments by Elder Be , in turn, made a recording of
the story, which corrects some errors in the prass reports and gives
the facts so far ey can be ascert
La Sarza was busy with a painting job, on Nickel mine premises,
when he noted with surprise an object hurtling down from the skies
with "several times the speed of a jet plane". He thought it would
crash, but it slowed down and ended by hovering just the ground.
No one else seemed to be around at the time, a pattern that seems to
prevail in most alleged saucer landings and contacts. Quite possibly
the saucer people see to it that complications do not set in from toa
many persons being on hand at such times.

in a position to do for them?
If the laity will bear with me a little, I will address the physic-
ists, whose attention I will call to the periodic table. Yàu will note
that nickel has the atomic number 28. Right next to it we find cobalt,
atomic number 27. This sets the stage. Now, 26 percent of natural nickel
consists of the isotope Nickal-60 this is bombarded with neutrons,
the Ni-e0 will bur e nickel is transformed into noth-
recall right, has a half-life of
about five years and par with o superior to Radium in terms of
radioactive potency spoonful poonfu cobalt-60 is the obalt-6o is the radioactive radioactive equal equal of of
all the radium ever produced all the radium ever in existence in the vorld existence in the world today. This is today. This s is
ving the world a case o case of k ing-size jitters. ing-size jitters.
With the above in mind it is conceivable, space-being
science at least, that the nickel in a nickel mine could be chain react-
ed into Cobalt-60, right i ground. All it might need would be some
simple form triggering neutron emitter, to start such
a reaction. Although ti rings to mind some form of radium-beryllium
gadget as a neutron generating triggoring fuse; this, fortunatoly, would
hardly do the job, be Che large neutran losses in the nickel im-
purities.
