table short-wave radio "of the type used in World War II landing craft." (Both
On the evening of the 6th they were listening to the radio, which was reporting
UFOs seen everywhere; reception was subject to fading, but many stations could
be picked up.
At about 9 p.m, Totten went out to the outhouse; he came back breathlessly
exclaiming: "There's a flying saucer out here!" The others laughed, and suggested
that he invite the little green men in for coffee. (Mr. Jacobsen thought he'd bet-
ter stress the fact that "the whiskey had twonights before,") However,
he insisted. They went ou the corch a enough, there it was. To the
east of south, a age brilliantly-illuminated sphere," one-eighth to one-sixth the
apparent diameter of the moon, was hanging a few hundred feet over e summit of
a hill two or three miles away. Might this actually have been a misinterpretation
of some celestial body? By no means. The sky had been completely overcast by low-
hanging clouds for several hours, and the object was beneath these clouds. This
was beyond any pcssibility of doubt, because conical beams of light fanned out from
both the top and the bottom of the object. The lower beam lit up the tops of the
color was yellowish-white, not the bluish-
white of a mantl Because of the glare,
its edges were not sharply defined. It
did not flicker r, pulsate, or oscillate.
8 x 25 binoculars revealed no further de-
tail. For fifteen minutes it remained in
the same position.
Lir. Jacobsen took two 35-mm photographs, which had not yet been developed
two weeks later. (It is hardly to be expecte will show more
than a dot of light.)
While this was being seen, it was discovered that t there was "no reception" on
the portable radio. Munday tried the short-wave radio, with the same result: on
none of its bands could anything be picked up--not ev the government time signal,
which invariably came in clearly. But there was exception: at one frequency
2 very strong signal was received. It was a rapidly modulated single tone, some-
what like Morse code in effect--but not Morse, which would have been recognized,Mr.
Jacobsen could not recall the frequency, but hought it was in the vicinity of 2.5
or 25 megacycles--not 14.286 megacycles, where a "mystery beep" signal from some-
thing moving in the sky had been received that week all over the earth, pole to pole.

sent to us by a correspondent in Albany, N.Y., who wishes to remain anonymous.
He states that at about 2:30 p.m. on the afte moon of March 12th, 1963, he was
sitting on the back porch of his home when a UFO flew into sight at low alti-
tude and hovered for several seconds. Our correspondent rushed into the house
for his camera, and took three pictures in quick succession as the object
moved away slowly toward the east. It made no sound.

EDITORIAL:
Readers of SAUCER NEWS will recall the long-standing feud between
your Editor and Gray Barker, editor of "The Saucerian Bulletin." Recently, we
had occasion to drop by the office e of Mr. Barker in Clarksburg, West Virginia.
A serious conversation was entered into between the two editors, and we became
convinced of the reality of son the persecution which Mr. Barker has, for
many months, been loudly proclaiming in his nd elsewhere (including in
his article for the June l962 issue of SAUCER NEwS, now out of print.)
Taking cognizance of the situation existing in Clarksburg, we made
to Mr. Barker a most generous offer, whereby we would combine his magazine
with ours. Barker agreed to our terms, and the merger was formalized in a le-
gal document dated February 24th, 1963.
All subseribers to "The Saucerian Bulletin" will have their sub-
scriptions completed in full with issues of SAUCER NEwS. "Saucerian Bulletin"
subscribers already on our own mailing list will have their SAUCER NEWS sub-
scriptions extended according to the number of "Saucerian Bulletins" owed to
them. Anyone dissatisfied with this arrangement may apply to us for a refund
on the unused portion of his Saucerian Bulletin" subscription we are
confident that most people will be pleased with the new combined
and will want to continue receiving it.
As of now, SAUCER NEWS becomes the second oldest saucer periodical
in the world - second only to "The A.P.R.O. Bulletin," published in Tucson,
Arizona by Coral Lorenzen. We are also the periodical of 1 largest circulation -
express any viewpoint they wish,
these opinions agree with those of the editors. We do not endorse anyone's un-
proven claims or beliefs, but we are willing to air all sides of every
tion and every controversy related to the flying saucer mystery.
Mr. Barker has not retired from the saucer field. He will continue
to publish saucer and occult books of various types from Clarksburg, and read- to publish saucer and occult books of various types from Clarksburg, and read-
ers interested in these books should write directly to him - at P.0. Box 2228,

It takes level-headed people like you to run a magazine such as
SAUCER NEWS. In a subject where there is so much confusing evidence to sort
out, a scientifie approach is necessary. And I believs you have what it takes.

must ask and answer this crucial question: Is the core of the saucer problem a
real, external problem? y original statement read: "Is the core of the sau-
cer problem a cer problem a real, external phenomena?" external phenomena?" By changing "phenomena" to "problem"
the sense of the statement has been made to imply the sense f the statement has been made to imply that we are dealing that we are dealing solely
with a psychological disorder on a collective scale, or with a psychological disorder on a collective scale, or some such some such thing. Actu-
ally, it was meant to convey the idea that the phenomena, although convey the idea that the phenomena, a lthough objective,
transcends our three-dimensional world as the psychic experience
demonstrates. .
In Part Two (the March issue, Page 12), J you published this state-
ment: "The lasson to be learned in all of this is that the saucer phenomena
have a reality independent of them. And the fact that saucers exhibit a psy-

which appears to
craft of sorts)have psychic phenomena associated with them. In truth, I leave
what the saucers actually are, open, as the physio-psychie phenomenon which is
experienced is not, in my view, the same as the reality behind the phenomenon.
Outside of these mis-statements, your presentation was •.
THOMAS M. COMELLA
Mr. Comella has written an objective analysis of the flying saucer
mystery as it has developed within the past sixteen years.....I think that he
is familiar rather adequately with the situation, for I happen to be inclined
to go along with him to a large extent....
ROBERT D. NULL
Maiden, North Carolina
It is perhaps true enough that conclusion jumping on the basis of
insufficient evidence is a practice i considering that
active in the field are qualified for
this type of work. But you wrong in thinking that no one really has
the answer, or real proof....There is an abundance of evidence in civilian
channels, even allowing for a goodly margin of error, for any competent re-
searcher to figure the whole thing out with reasonable accuracy.
As for Tom Comella, all he has in effect said in his two articles
PAUL W. HAMMER
Chicago, Illinois
I didn't have to go far into Comella's articles to realize he would
soon invoke the psychic. That's his privilege, of course, just a it's mine
not to buy it. But he seems to go psychic for a prett - apparent
lack of saucer crackups during the past l6 years. - says,
"such infallibility and perfection does not reside with n humanity." Non-
sensel.....In over l5 years of close association with aircraft and aviation, I
have witnessed but two crashes. All others I've heard about and/or seen via
news media. And I dare say that less than l% of our entire population has s ever
seen an aircrash. Take away all their news sources and the publie would doubt-
less believe that passing planes are mech nically perfect. But their opinions
wouldn't make it so, would it?.... wouldn't make it so, would it?....
GEORGE W. EARLEY

I have read your December and March issues with much interest. I
can give your can give your "Letters to the Editor" section much praise. You have done a
good job, particularly in the December issue, of presenting equally both sides equally y both sides
of the contror versy regarding NICAP. After looking at letter which you pub-
lished, I still believe that lished, I still believe that those things those things s should have been should have been said. However, you said. However, you
made the letter made the letter sound more sound more "hateful" and "spiteful" t "hateful" and "spiteful" than I actually felt to- I actually felt to-
ward you at the time. You know quite well that we aren't opposed to each other
that much. Perhaps you could tell your readers this....
STEVE ERIMANN, St. Louis, Missouri

what does it matter if NICAP reports in cardboard boxes? I throw
Does this make me incompetent?....As
for his claim that NICAP is abusing t privilege of using his material, I can
say two things: First, NICAP has been extremely busy lately, and perhaps they
have not had time to answer his letter, or perhaps they are not through using
his material. Secondly, SAUCER NEwS is not the place to shed tears about this.
Nobody is interested in Beckley's personal problems.
NICAP has been criticized for taking an extreme position. Well, if
your favorite contactee
claims, then they are extremists. NICAP has found nothing to substantiate the
claims of the many contactees, but it has heard these people out....
LOUIS TRIFON
Plainview, New York
Regarding the Hart and Coleman letters in your December issue, Ma-
jor Hart angrily denounces Keyhoe for attributing "a completely false heading 3
to the Air Force news release of 6 February l962" and then goes on to say "it
was a D.O.D. release..." This may be, but the AP dispatches reaching this area
attributed the release to the Air Force and didn't list its official title,
see how this squares with Coleman's assertion that "the quote from the manual
has now been lifted out of context completely...." But then Major Coleman has
a public record of deviousness. He "answared" a letter of mine published in
"Flying" Magazine by talking all around lot while neatly sidestepping the
main issue I had raised....
Regarding Mr. Gribble's plaintive howl (in your Dec. issue of
"false charges and inaccurate reporting," nowhere in it do I see him offering
any explanation for deliberately setting up and widaly publicizing an "organi-
zation" which could be readily confused with NICAP. I Mr. Gribble's "organiza-
tion" has virtually the same title (he merely substituted "Commission" for
"Cormittee"), and can be abbreviated to "NICAP! I can see no other conclusion
than that this was done to deliberately confuse people. Furthermore, in the

Congratulations. You picked a very fine, intelligent lady for your
companion in life. May you be happy through the end of time. Best wishes to

sible. Ogden is the one who alerted me first about this, and the way he stated
it in his letter to me, I thought you were claiming I had sent that doll to
you. Then I received your SAUCER NEWS and found that you are not making any
such claim.....I would not be a fit human being if I did something like that,
but I too have recently received letters threatening my life. Who is doing all
this dirty work? I would like to know, wouldn't you? Someone must be thinking
that you and I are getting together, fo ve been accused of selling out to
your side, and you know as well as I of us has sold out to
the other.
I wish there were more people like you, who come out into the open
instead of hiding behind the written word. I believe that the debate you and I
had on Long John's radio program was the finest get-together that anyone could
have. We let the public be the judge. But thare are some people who wouldn't
do anything like that, even if they were given the privilege... ..I respect you
far more than you perhaps realize....

THE OLDEN MOORE STORY
- by C. W. Fitch -
In the September 1962 issue of SAUCER NEWS, Mr. Moseley gave a
long account of his interview with Lt. Col. Robert riend, chief of the Air
Force's UFo investigation center at Wright Patterson Field. Dayton, Ohio.
In this article, on Page l3, Mr. Moseley stated: "The conversation
came around, at one point, to 'hush ups,' and I was told the story of a gen-
tleman (name known to me) who made an important and apparently truthful sight-
ing during the l957 'flap.' I Later he began claiming that, as a result of his

matters pertaining to UFo's before his sighting; but from that time on, he was
very much interested. On numerous occasions I sat with him in his kitchen and
discussed the details of his sighting, and I acquainted him with sightings
made by others. I used to bring him articles and magazines on the saucer sub-
ject, and we became good friends. I can definitely state that I got to know
Olden well enough to form a respect for him as a religious and truthful man.
He just wasn't the kind to make up or fabricate stories of any sort. He was
very active in church work and spent many of his evenings in that manner.
A few months after his sighting, Moore confided in me about having
been flown to Washington and interviewed there for two days and returned home
on the third. He said then that I was the first person he had told about it.
Three men in particular figured in the picture. He recalled their last names
and gave them to Naturally, these could have been assumed names. I In any
case, I later passed this information on to NICAP to se ee if they could identi-
fy or locate any of the three. NIcAP was not successful, so I had to abandon
this particular approach in efforts to authenticate Moore's story.
However, Moore did identify certain buildings in Washington - one
around the city. About years while in Washington myself, I had a
friend of mine take pictures this rti gas station and other adjoin-
the pictures to Olden later. he quickly yidenti-
fied the Esso station and the building opposite it ,as two of those he had been
in while there. Moore had never been to Washington before in his life, but he
remembered stopping in this exceptionally large gas station. I learned that it
was the only one of its kind in the city, so he wasn't mistaken in that. The
building opposite the Esso station turns out to be the United States Court
House, which faces on Constitution Ave., and extends between 3rd and 4th
Streets. It is shown in the picture below, which is one of the photos taken by
my friend. The Esso station in questio ight across the street.

At my request, Moore even told me exactly how he was taken to
Washington. But in order to give you the whole story correctly in sequence, I
must explain the heretofore unpublished fact that he was taken on another trip
first. Here is exactly what happened:
On Sunday evening, November l0th, 1957, Geauga County Sheriff
Louis Robusky, accompanied by a deputy and an Air Force lieutenant who stated
he was from Youngstown (Ohio), called on Moore at his home. Sheriff Robusky
told Moore that the Air Force representatives wished to question him about his
sighting and wanted to have him accompany them to Youngstown for that purpose.
He added that he felt it was Moore's duty as a citizen to do as they request-
ed. Moore agreed to go, and asked how long he would be away. They informed him

cording to what he told me, he always stopped questioning at that point by

than the earlier ones, is probably the one which entered into the discussion
between Mr. Moseley and Col. Friend.
In any case, these officers from Wright Field told Olden that what
he had undoubtedly seen, back in November 1957, was a giant fireball. They
said that on rare occasions these huge fireballs were seen for periods of very
short duration before disappearing or vanishing from sight. Moore's wife was
convinced from t this conversation that what her husband had seen was indeed a
fireball, but Olden told me that while he let the officers think they had con-
vinced him, they didn't change his mind one bit. He told me: "I know I saw a
case had been given to him by someone else. From my personal knowledge of Ol-
den Moore, one thing is certain: Either Col. Friend was ignorant of Moore's
visit to Washington or else he withheld the real facts from Moseley. There is
no doubt in my mind that Olden Moore is ing the truth!
THE MYSTERY OF THE DISAPPEARING PLANES
by Sandy
Readers of Major Donald Keyhoe's book "The Flying Saucer Conspir-
acy" will recall his description of the amazing case of the disappearance of
five Navy planes off the coast of Florida on December 5th, l945. This disap-
pearance has been called one of the greatest and most incredibls mysteries in
the history of manned flight. Recently the story has been told in more detail
in a fascinating article appearing in the April l962 issue of "The American
Legion Magazine." It is from the latter source that the following article has It om the
been condensed.
On December 5th, 1945, On December 5th, 1945, a flight of flight of five TBM Avenger five TBM Ayenger bombers took
off on a routine patrol flight from the U.S. Naval Air Station at I off on a routine patrol flight from the U.S. Naval Air Station at Fort Lauder- Fort Lauder-
dale, Florida. The weather was clear, and flying conditions were almost ideal.
The flight leader's plane carried a crew of two, while the remaining four ftwo wbile the remaining four car- car-
ried three men each. All of these fourteen men had flight and navigation ex-
perience ranging from as little as thirteen months to as much as six years.
The planes were expected to make a triangular patrol, flying east for about
160 miles, north miles, and then back to Fort Lauderdale.

County officials were notified of the sighting the following day,
and Lake County Civil Defense Director Kenneth Locke rushed to the scene. Said

sume a bearing of due west, the flight leader eplied, "We cannot be sure

By that time the sun was nearing the western horizon, and it was
incredible that these five planes could not find west, even if they had been
depending only on visual observation. For the next forty minutes the tower
heard the planes talking by radio to each other. Apparently none of the five
had any idea their position The overheard conversations showed increasing
signs of fear and hysteria growing among the five pilots Then, with no prior
warning, the flight leader abruptly turned over the flight command to another
emergency of some sort.
At about 4:15, the control tower received its last message from
the flight. It said, "We are not certain where we are.....Must be about 225
miles northeast oks like we The message broke off at that
point.

Neither this plane nor the original f five Avenger bombers were ever heard from
again, nor was any sign of them ever found, in spite of one of the largest air
and sea rescue searches in American history! The aircraft carrier Solomons was
sent to the area, and by mid-afternoon of the next day, many ships and over
300 planes had joined the operation. Not a single item of wreckage or debris
frcm any of the six lost planes was seen!
The Navy, af-
ter an exhaustive
investigation of the
incident, in which a
total of 27 lives
had been lost, was
unable to come up
with any solution.
Their report stated:
"We are not even
able to make a good

January 29th, 1948,

the sea or elsewhere; and no wreckage, or debris
ever located. The big plane with its 4 occupants had simply vanished!
About a year later, on January 17th, 1949. an eighth plane, also
belonging to the British South American Airways Company, was added to the mys-
tery list. This too was a four-engined airliner, en route to Jamaica, carrying
seven crew members and l3 passengers. The plane took off at 7:30 a.m. from
Bermuda, in excellent weather. At 8:l5 there was a routine radio report, and
then silence. As in the other cases, the aircraft disappeared completely from
the face of the earth.
The British Ministry of Aviation made a thorough investigation of
these two incidents, similar to the investigation that the U.S. Navy had made
regarding our six military aircraft. The conclusion drawn by the board of in-
quiry was that the planes were presumed lost at sea, although no actual sub
stantiation of this could be found.
Many people have speculated as to the nature of the strange phe-
nomenon which occasionally envelopes aircraft flying in the semitropical area
off the Florida coast. Commercial pilots are reluctant to discuss the matter
with outsiders, unwilling to have their names used in regard to
whatever opinions they press To admit that something may be going g on
beyond the range of present human knowledge, is to be branded a crackpot and
perhaps lose one's license. But many pilots agree, in private, that there may

But there was no record that any such aircraft was in the vicinity at the
time, or even that such a plane was licensed. In other words, the near-disas-
ter occurred with a plane that apparently didn't exist!

The whole incident has been investigated by the Civil Aeronautics
Board. The CAB thinks it's a hoax, but they can't find any way to explain it

or negate the evidence. The pilot in question is known to be of good charac-
ter, and thus far the investigation has upheld i his version of the story.
Here, then, is a possible clue to the disappearance of the six
American and two British airplanes. Many people have long believed that time
is not the simple, constant-flowing quantity we assume it to be. If the past
and present somehow met in this strange collision perhaps similar
events happen occasionally for reasons as Perhaps too, the

scendants coming back to take a look at their ancestors. Fantastie? Of course;
but fantastic events need bold theories to explain them. Presumably, we will
know all the answers some day. Till then, we can only sit back and speculate,
and wonder at the frightening gaps that still exist in human knowledge.

In the past three years great interest has almost obsessed

For some time, "The Saucerian" has been published most irregular-

scriber that it was an irregularly published magazine, the lack of frequency
of publication did annoy a great many subscribers, with good reason. With my
increasing interest in the publication of New Age books, I had very little

BENDER MYSTERY CONFIRMED - BENDER MYSTERY
This book is a collaction This book is a collaction of letters to Gray Barker from a number
of people who read Albert K. Bender's "Flying Saucers and the Three of people who read Albert K. Bender's "Flying Saucers and the Three Men, which Men, which
we reviewed in our March issue. Unfortunately, a better title would be "Bender be "Bender
Mystery Confused," due to the fact that these letters add little to Mystery Confused," due to the fact that these letters add little to our under- our under-
standing of the Bender book or to our understanding standing of the Bender book or to our understanding of the saucer mystery in
general. The information revealed in the letters ranges all the way from evi-
dence tending to confirm Bender's statements to evidence directly contradict-
ing them, - with a lot throwm in which neither confirms nor contradiets any-
thing.
In his introduction, Barker tells us, "No effort has been made to
create a U literary work, the publication of letters carries the duty of

of the letter writer. One letter, supposedly tending
aches, reads in "After my collapse, or
through reincarnation....my sun lamp lit up with a

that it was a station like a TV set and was hooked up to the police station,
where they could see ery s the object of ridicule, torment, and
gutter filth. For days the mar alked on, even after I broke the sun
lamp bulb....."
There are, however, more lucid letters than this. The consensus of
opinion (if there is any) among Barker's letter writers seems to be that Ben-
der is telling the truth as he knows it. But perhaps alleged space pecple
were fooling him, by misrepresenting their true identity, or giving him false
information on some points. There is talk of astral entities, the Serpent
Race, Deros, the Elack Brotherhood, Communist agents, and other such groups.
One woman writes that upon reading the first part of "Flying Saucers and the

Near Knoxville, Tennessee, early on the morning of November 6th, 12-year-
old Everett Clark said two men and two women, normally dressed, talking "like
German soldiers in war movies," emerged from a grounded cigar-shaped object and
tried to make off with his dog; he claimed that he hadn't heard of the Schmidt
case. An imprint in the grassy field where e the object had rested was found by
Knoxville reporters; the boy maintained that this discovery as new to him as
it was to the reporters.
Curiously enough, the Tennessee report from the schoolboy Everett Clark (page 4)
resembles Schmidt's story in several important respects; but, so far as we know, the
ClarkI report aroused no official investigation at all. We have asked our Knoxville
member, James McAshan, to find out more about this case if possible. But the attempt-
ed dognapping in the Clark story is weirdly echoed in the following extraor dinary re-
port from New Jersey (page l4).

in the early light, but they looked like earth-people to me. I thought they invi-

have made a flat statement. And now I can't. If those two witnesses were there,
I wish they'd come forward. Because, gentlemen, while I hate to admit it, I'm all
shook up."
Heanwhile, West Coast CSI member Idabel Epporson was busy checking. "Because
of the similarity of the name noe to e, I vas suspicious at first; having
had a little experience behind the scenes in polotics, i have no illusions left as
to ways and means of discrediting people NICAr's presaure'is beginning to be
felt, and I could not help but wonder Chis was some lind of scheme to discredit
in the eyes of th public who have not yet heard of him. After all,
was a sensation and a recognized mental case overnight. By the
same means, the name could be nade notorious overnight to many people. You
can readily see where this would put NICAP. However, I believe now that the names
being so nearly the me is purely coincidental."
Mrs. Epperso ttempted to locate the alleged two other witnesses. Checking
local telephone directories, she fcund six " s" in' Redondo and three
in Torrance. She began calling the s and simply asked for
"In every case they said 'there is no one here by that name.' Wnen I asked
if there was anyone in their family named they all said no. Then I asked
if a anyone else had called and asked for ke, and in every I said
'no'."
None of the Mrs. Epperson called were the as she was
lcoking for, but all three said they had received similar calls.

MEMO FOR RECORD -
SUBJECT: Olden Moore Sighting, 6 November 1957
1. Background.
a. On 6 November 1957, Mr of the Montville, Ohio
approximately two miles
aynesville to Montville. This
report completed by Mr. The only available information on this
case was from a very sketchy report prepared by the civil defense and
letters to the ATIC from Mr a private UFo investigator of
Mansfield, Ohio (see Tab A). A summary of the sighting as appears in
the Civil Defense Report is that Mr saw this flaming object
flying at terrific speed, hovering, and then land in a nearby field on
a farm owned by Mr rushed home and brought his
wife to see the object, but found it was gone reported his sighting
to Sheriff Louis Robusky of Geauga County, and the civil defense was called
in to investigate The civil defense with Sherif Robusky went to the site
of the reported landing, but found no evidence of of a space vehicle. The
radiation level as measured with three different counters was on the order
At the DOD he was questioned oncerning his experience and warned not to
tell of the DOD interest or re he had been taken. Mr.
has exploited this case in his writings to the Air Force. In view of
this it was decided to iavestigate this case in spite of its one and one
half year age.

2. Facts for Consideration.
a. On 26 February 1959, Major Friend and M/Sgt Hill visited
Mansfield, Ohio to contact Mr. concerning a February sighting by
him and also concerning the Olden Moore case. Mr.
in the Mansfield High School, was immediately recognized
as a c. He claims to be one of the original organizers of
the National Investigation Cormittee of Aerial Phenomena (NIcAP), and
never committed himself to affiliation with any organization at the never committed himself t arfiliation organization at the
present time. Mr. , however; was the initiator of a tape-recording , however; was the
Service for UFo fans All that is ll that is necessary to get a recording is to
send a blank tape and Mr. and he would send you
the recording of your request.. These tape recordings s were either speeches were either speeches
by UFo adherents or interviews with witnesses. Mr. had such a

Report. (Tab B)
b. On 10 March 1959, Major Friend and M/Sgt Hill of the Aerial
Fhenomena Group, AFCIN-LEhg, visited Chardon, Paynesville and Montville,
Ohio in connection with the case. The first contact in the
area was nade with Sheriff Louis Robusky at his office in Chardon, Ohio.
The sheriff was very cooperative and revealed all of the information in
his files concerning the case; this was, however, little because the
investigation was turned over to the civil defense. The sheriff indi-
cated that he heard about the case the morning after the sighting when
Mr. Me came in to report what he had seen. The sheriff's impression
was that Mr. Moore was frightened by what he had seen. The sheriff's
report contained a drawing of the object made by Mr. .a opy of
which is attached as Tab C.
C. In Paynesville, Ohio contact was made with Mr.
Mr. was also very cooperative,
and has an avid interest in Unidentified Flying Object sightings. Mr.
pointed out that he was one of the three persons that took readings
of the radiation level in the area after e sighting and that the
reading was approximately l50 milliroentgens e further pointed
out that there were some markings prints, starting nowhere
and going nowhere and three others which were very deep, in a diameter
unconcerned farmer, showed no interest whatsoever in the sighting. Mr.
said that Mr. was near his house and should have come
there rather than drive four miles or so to his home and back. Mr.
object was supposed to have been on the ground. The area is in the middle
of a corn field and on a small kmoll. During this investigation the field
was snow covered and very soggy. Footprints noted in the area during the
investigation were those or rabbits, muskrats, birds and dogs. Radiation
level at the time, even with the snow, was below the normal background
reading of 20 milliroentgens. iliroentgens.

hand information concerning his sighting. Mr. hand information concerning his sighting. Mr had moved and was

may be associated with these fireballs. At times witnesses
have reported these meteors to have struck the ground and
the same object has been seen two or three hundred miles
away.
Mr - I certainly am glad you explained to me what I saw.
Major Friend - Mr. think that because of the startling
effect of this experience that you also suffered some
illusions in connection with it. Rather than the object
moving from your right to your left, I believe the motion
was' more toward you, which rapid change
in size of the object and apparent 'ease in ele-
vation. This too could account for your not hearing the
obiect until it was o omomben itwas
moving many times faster than the speed of sound.
Finally, some glow or reflection caused you to think
this object had landed in the field, it probably con-
tinued on its way until it burned cut.
3. Discussion and Analysis.
a.Mr. is I married, has five children and is a man
less than moderate means. It is our opinion that he

and had some articles written) and the publicity (see Tab E). The facts
as he gave them in his interview with are probably the truth.
It is our opinion that the civil defense people

each glove." He had a putty-colored face, a nose and chin, and large, protuberant,
frog-like eyes. In a voice that was "sharp and scary" he spoke to Mr Trasco, in
"broken language, as came from the other side." What Mr. Trasco thought he
said was, 'we peacer people e don't want no trouble. We just want your dog."
Mrs. Trasco, inside the house, could hear the sound of the voice, and she clearly
heard her husband, frightened but angry, yell l, "Get the hell out of here!" At this
the creature re-entered the object - by what means, is still uncertain, since Mrs.
Trasco said her husband had seen no door, portholes, or other opening. (He also re-
ported that there was not much noise: "It was about like what you'd hear inside a
ship.") The object then went fast up into the sky, like a tatter of flame that

in fact, they take only the mildest interest in even such things as Sputnik. In the
same issue of the News that printed their story appeared an editorial that scoffed
at the entire report.
Says Mrs. Trasco, "If it happens again I'll probably get right in the car and
go away from this place." Mr. Harpster she added, "But I told John, we should
have let them take King. He's half-blind and so cross I don't know who else would
ever want him." Says Dick H Harpster, "I just haven't been able to think of one reason
for not believing them." One final detail: the night after the visit, two lights
shone over the house. Mrs. Trasco says, "they didn't move, as the lights of an air-
plane do." They lingered fo while, then disappeared without a trace.

car. It is our opinion the residue from this meteor could account for
the increase in the radiation level and that a formation could account
for Mr. S other illusions.
e. Major Friend pointed out to Mr. that public anxieties
over radiation could be curtailed by also supplying the newspapers with
information as to what constitutes a dangerous level. was not
too receptive to this suggestion, indicating that newspapers wanted
only information which would make sales.
4. Conclusion.
a.Mr. and the other witnesses probably saw a meteor of
exceptional brightness and size. a "Fireball". fireball is defined as
a meteor as bright or bris magnitude. These meteors I may have
curved or irregular paths due to irregular shapes. Fireballs may appear Fireballs may appear
white, blue, green, red, yellow white, blue, green, red, yellow, orange, pink or orange, pink or purple. purple Usually these Usually these
meteors leave trains which may also be.varicolored and may change color
after being left. Trains when seen in the daytime appear as smoke: A appear as smoke: A
good percentage of these meteors burst at the ends of their paths and good percentage of these meteors burst at the ends - of their paths and
