I am sorry to say that the photograph was not examined
satisfactorily by ' the then editor of the Flying Saucer Review at the
time when it was first launched on the world. Enquiries instituted by
our Mr. Creighton have now elicited the fact that the photograph is a
hoex. We had only recently heerd rumours to this effect, but were unable
at first to confim this information. Now, I to say, we have
obtained a written "confession" from the perpetr
append
"The feked UFO was made S at sea. I used I used two plastic cones, two nlastic cones,
for model airplanes, 4" for model sirpianes, 4" dia. and stuck them together. A few
alterations and alterations and a good high gloss silver paint did the rest,
I used a yellow I used a yellow filter filter and a F 3.4 Thus - no sign of Thus - no sign of

"His full name is either Z.T, Z.D. Fogl (I cannot read his
signature), and his present address is: 6, Broadscres,

publish them at all, we do not make extravagant claims about them.
