According to La Gaceta of [ine 1Z.. flying
saucers were seen recently over Puerto Garibaldi in
the Province of Entre Rios, and “angel hair’’ was
seen to fall from them. Subjected to careful
analysis, the substance was found to consist of
boron, silicon, calcium, and magnesium. “Angel
hair” was also reported to have fallen at a place
called El Nilo.

Detroit, Michigan 48219
Department of Defense
Washington D.C.

To whom it may concern,

I am writting this letter for two reasons. One is that
I live in Michigan near where the U.}F.0.s have been spotted
resently. I have seen movies of these U.F.0.s and as far as
I can see they are nothing like any airplane or regular fly-
ing craft that has ever been shown in public. I also can say
that they are not clouds caused by marsh gases. First of all
because all of the U.F.0.s haven't been spotted over marshes
and second because they were too bright to be reflections of
gases, mainly because most have been spotted at night and the
moon's glow couldn't cause such a bright glew. Not | have
I seen the U.F.0O.s on television but I saw one in 1963 in
Chicago. My father, brother, cousin, and I all saw it. It

looked like this: errs

Pa

Oe mo

“55 oe
It wa volving « eye aks it's square port holes

were lite up brightly. But not in colors. It was going fast
and was making sharpe turns. Also when I got home my cousin
saw the same U.F.0O. flying over her house. Her house is in
Oak Park a suberbd of Detroit where I live.

if you wa@at to get ahold of the movies of the U.#.Q.s seen
in s.ichigan I think the television station I saw it ay eia
give them to you. It is Channel 2, WwJ in Detroit.

wnat I was getting at is that anyone who looks at this

ee knows that tnose U.F.0.s are something not just marsh
fas. laybe they are from outerspace or they are some kind of
secret ‘United States project, I don't know. But I do know

phat withholding information about such things is just going
to cause eanic when it gets out which it will eventually do.
Just like in 1938 when Orson Wells made a radio broadcast
which made people believe that the Martians were invading Zarth.
Many people killed themselves because of it. So what do you
think people will do when they see things from outerspace and
the United States government confermes it? If you release
information abvout the U,.F.0.s slowly so it wouldn't cause
panic it would be better for. everyone!!!

Also could you’send me some information on U.F.0.s?
I hone it will be information which tells the truth about
what the U.F.0O.s are. Thank You for your time and for the
information.

: Flying Saucer Review Tucuman, arge

Nov-Dec 65

Tucuméno
On Janata 12030" a patch of scrub-land
ata ranch at Canada de Alsogaray, near Tucuman,
two scorched “rings’’ were found, each 35 cms.
wide (width of the scorched band) with a diameter |
of about 3.3 metres each, and lying some 40 cms.
apart, forming as it were a figure “8”’. Police and
scientists made deep cuts, and found that not only
the grass, but also its roots, had been burnt down
to a depth of some 10 cms. below the surface, “as
though dessicated at a temperature in excess of
2,000*, yet without combustion or fame”. On the
“rings” a white ash-like powder was found. The
scientists concluded that something very heavy and
very hot had landed there, something shaped—
on its base—roughly like a figure “8”. Hoax was
ruled out, and the authorities admitted that the
only possible explanation wai the landing of some |
unknown craft. The marks were evidently some
days old, but UFOs had been seen in the vicinity
not long before. Thus far, I quote from the UFO
Report for 1963 issued by the Argentine Committee
in Buenos Aires for the Study of Unidentified
Flying Objects (CODOVNI).
q But in a letter dated 30th June, 1964, from a
meteorologist named Seftor Ricardo Perez de la
Sierra of Buenos Aires, I have received a number of |
further details about the case, and the most
interesting of ail is that a gentleman named Juan:
Geronimo Perea, overseer of the neighbouring
“El Trezol’’ Ranch, has now come forward and
said that he and his wife and children had seen an
egg-shaped craft, which appeared “thrice the
diameter of the Moon as it flew overhead”, pass
over one night and go down towards the ground in
the precise area where the marks were subsequently
found. The thing was travelling at a very slow
ee he said, and leaving a long trail. It was only
ry reluctantly that this witness had consented i
eid what he had seen.

ASTRONOMY

Science News Letter for December 29, 1962

Mars Becomes Prominent

The red planet Mars shines in the east in the January
evening sky and the year’s best display of stars is in view
with Orion high in the south, James Stokley reports.

> THE RED PLANET Mars is now on
view in the evening sky.

Low in the east (at about ten o'clock or
later at the beginning of January) you will
see the consellation of Leo, the Lion. In
this group stands the first magnitude star
Regulus, part of the subgroup called the
Sickle.

But in the Sickle now stands an intruder
—red in color and brighter than any of the
stars—Mars. You can also distinguish Mars
because it shines with the steady glow of a
planet, so different from the scintillating
stars.

Mars is the only planet shown on the
January maps, which indicate the appear-
ance of the heavens at about 10:00 p.m.
(your own kind of standard time) at the
first of the month, 9:00 p.m. around the
15th, and 8:00 p.m. at the end,

Mercury Visible

For a few days about Jan. 4, however,
if you look low in the west soon after
sundown, and before the sky is entirely
dark, you may get a glimpse of Mercury.
At that time it will be farthest east of the
sun, and visible for a little while at dusk.

Higher i in the western sky—and brighter
—you will easily locate Jupiter, which is
now in the constellation of Aquarius, the
water carrier, But it also sets before the
times for the maps,

As for the other planets that sometimes
become visible to the naked eye, Saturn is
now too near the sun’s direction to be visi-
bie; Venus shines brilliantly in che eastern
sky before dawn.

january brings the year’s best evening
display of stars. High in the south is the
magnificent constellation of Orion, of which
the three stars in a row forming the war-
rior’s belt are characteristic. Near the belt
are two brilliant stars—Betelgeuse above
and Rigel below.

Following Orion are his two dogs. Canis

lator, the grearer dow, is lower and to the
left. In it is Sirius, the brightest star in the
sky, except for the sun. Farther to the left
and higher is the lesser dog, Canis Minor,
with the star called Procyon.

To the right of Orion and a litle higher
appears Tauiis the bull. Red Aldebaran
marks his eye. In his shoulder is a little
aa of stars called the Pleiades, They

nown in mythology as the seven sis
fers, ‘koh Ost peoole cannot sce more

Min six of them.

And directly overhead, as indicated on
the maps, is Auriga, the charioteer, with
Capella. Just below this group, toward the
east, are the twins, Gemini. They display
two prominent stars: Pollux, the lower, is

of the first magnitude, while Castor, above,
is second,

In addition to these bright stars, in and
around Orion, two others of the first mag.
nitude are shown. One is Regulus, in Leo,
low in the east, mentioned in connection
with Mars. Very low in the northwest
Deneb is shown, all that remains visible
of Cygnus, the swan. Deneb is so low that
atmospheric absorption dims it considerably.

The astronomical program for 1963 calls
for five eclipses, and two of them occur
in January. Probably, however, you will
not see very much of either.

The first, on the night of Wednesday,
Jan. 9, is a “penumbral” eclipse of the
moon, probably the least interesting of the
three kinds of lunar eclipses.

Any lunar eclipse involves the moon's
entry into the earth's shadow, which con-
sists of two parts. Innermost is the umbra,
the true shadow, where the earth com-
pletely hides the sun. Around this is the
outer, partial shadow, the penumbra. If
you were in it, on a space ship, the earth
would only partly cover the face of the sun.

So there are three possibilities for an
eclipse. The moon may enter completely
into the umbra, and then it is totally
eclipsed. It may only partly enter the

A

umbra, This is a partial eclipse, and the
curved edge of the earth's shadow appears
on the face of the moon. And finally, the
moon may enter into the penumbra but
not into the umbra, even partially.

That is what occurs this month. From
4:05 p.m., E.S.T., to 8:34 p.m., the moon
will be at least partly in the penumbra, At
the beginning of this period the moon will
not have risen in the United States and
most of North America. When it rises, it
will be in eclipse. But even with only
part of the sun shining on the moon, it
still shines with seemingly near normal
brightness.

So watch the moon, which will then be
full, when it comes up on the evening of
Jan. 9. I£ the sky is clear, but the moon
seems a little fainter than it should be, the
effect may be due to the eclipse.

January‘s Second Eclipse

January’s second eclipse comes on the
25th, and this time it is of the sun, for the
moon comes between that body and the
earth. But this is also not a total eclipse.
When it occurs, the moon will be rela-
tively far from the earth, and the sun
relatively close. Thus, the solar dise will
be larger than that of the moon. Even with
the moon going in front of the sun, a ring
of the solar surface will be visible. This is
called an annular eclipse, from the Latin
word annulus—a ring.

Bahia Blanca and Province of Entre Rios

While a formation of UFOs were seen flying over
this town if January JObd, small fires broke out ina
fallow field. At about the same date, a formation
passed over Entre Rios, and observers recovered
vitreous particles that had fallen from them.
CODOVNI state, in their summary for 1963, that
these particles were found to be an amalgam of
silicon, boron, calcium, and magnesium, “‘just the

same as has been found in similar circumstances in
other parts of the world.”

of the same newspaper. A farmer named Ricardo Lopes, who lives a fow miles
from Tucuman,; reported having found on his property two circles about ten feet
in-dtameter. These are shown in the illustration above. (The dimensions are in
meters. One meter is about equal to one yard.) Lopez took reporters to the
scene, and it was found that the grass had been pressed down and subjected to
intense heat in the white areas shown in the diagram, - az if some giant iron
had been placed on top of it. It was calculated that a temperature of over
2,000 degrees must have been present, as the grass and soil were affected to a
depth of several inches. However, there was no evidence of actual fire. It was
also calculated that the circles had been made about two wee:
discovered by the farmer. No explanation for them could be found.

Cordoba—Tucuman

The Cérdoba paper La Gaceta for January 3,
1963, reported that a DC-4 passenger aircraft of
Argentina Airlines, bound for Salta from Buenos
Aires, had been paced. by a UFO during the
stretch between Cordoba and Tucuman. The
UFO projected a vivid white light on to the air-
craft, as the result of which (apparently) one of the
four engines was put out of action. The pilot
managed to reach the Benjamin Matienzo Airport,
and the UFO vanished just before he got there.
