Mr. X, a Tueson Importer, was return-

of 3 June 1964 along the Black Canyon

off the ground to his right in a canyon,
clearly silhouetted against the hills. It
had a "cold blue" glow surrounding it.
As Mr. X came closer, he rounded a curve
turning right, and his headlights caught

He notified Pat and June Patterson, own-

Navajo Indian Reservation and they
watched the object for 15 minutes. The
cbject was moving northwest to south-
west and appeared to be at 500 and 1,000
feet altitude. It disappeared into the

tion of which is similar to the object just
described, was seen by Frank Howard,
the night watchman at the mine who also
observed the first one. The second object
was further away and toward the south.
Both objects had a white light at the
leading edge and the entire object was leading edge and the entire object was

Cleveland, Ohio ... June 5. 1964. 3:00 A.M. . The ob-
jects to be described were seen by Miss Marlene A. Ventura, and
Donald Kupchick, Jr., fro om the driveway of the Ventura residence.
Mr. Kupchick saw the objects first. A red light was seen ap-
proaching. As time passed, it got steadily but slowly nearer. At
the very first he thought it was a meteor but soon discarded that
impression. The color resembled the glow of a lit cigarette, but as
it drew nearer the foilowing details were noted.

Fantasy at Felling
The Neweastle-upon-Tyne Journal
in its June 9 issne dlevoted a consi-
derable amount of space to incidents
alleged to have taken place at nearby
Felling. We leave it to our readers to
decide whether some fact and much
fantasy is involved or whether
sceptism about saucers has at sotne
stage distorted the sensational truth.
The account reads:
"Flashes . . . loud buzzes in the
night . . . little green men chasing
each other around haystacks . ..
egg-shaped flying saucers . . . No, the
leprechauns aren't loose and it's no
Irishman who is telling this tale--
just the good people of Felling. For
stories are going round Leam Lane
Estate that flying spacemen in egg-
shaped flying saucers are using the
area for manoeuvres. So persistent
are the reports that a full-scale
investigation has been launched by
one organisation.
"Centre of the activity is Hopedene
Avenue where most of the residents
have heard a loud buzzing noise, and
so far, no one has come up with a
logical explanation for them.
"One person who has seen the
flying saucer is 13-year-old Keith Bell.
He said last night: 'I was looking out
of the window late one night when
there was a terrific flash in the sky.
Then a flying saucer, cgg-shaped and
giving oft a bright glow appeared.
I saw it twire before it flew off."
"Keith's mother refused to believe
him at first, but later saw the same
flashes herself which lit up the whole flashes herself which lit up the whole
of their front room. 'I was terrified,'
she said.
"And the little green men? They
were s were scen seen by I4-year-old David
Wilson. He said: 'I saw several small
green creatures, about two feet high
running around a haystack on a farrm
near the estate.'
"But not everyone believes the But not everyone believes the
stories. Last night Mr. M. Coates,
headmaster of Roman Road junior
school, denied that he had called a school, denied that he had called a
special assernbly of pupils to discuss special assernbly of pupils to discuss
the little green men, or that he had
told the children to stay away from
the farm. He said: There is no truth
at all in these silly rumours.'
"Investigations are being carried
out by the Tyneside Unidentified
Flying Objects Society who issued an
interin report last night. Mr. J. T.
Otley said: 'While we appreciate that
this thing has snowballed until there
is a vein of pure fantasy involved, we
neverthcless believe that these lights
and the buzzing sound heard by so
many people are sonrehow connected.
Our investigators have found that
many sensible people heard this
noise and young I David Wilson is
described by his parents and friends
as a truthful boy who would not invent
anything of this nature.'

The stranger in the photograph
Without necessarily suggesting that
this strange occurence has any con-
nection with flying saucers, we quote,
as a matter of general interest, the
following item from the London
Daily Express for June 13:
"On the lonely marsh beside the
Solway Firth, Jim Templeton pressed
the trigger o his camera. In ront o
him was his five-year-old daughter
Elimabeth. And in the distance the
Chapel Cross atomic station and a
Nato radar-tracking base.
"jim, a 4t-year-old Carlisle fire-
man, sent off his colour filen for
processing. Back it came with a note:
'Your best picture has been spoiled by
a man in the background.'
" 'I don't know anything about
spacemen, but there was definitely
noboly in front of my camera except
Elizabeth. There was nothing in
sight for half a mile in factexcept
for my wie and my other daughter.
And they were behind me.'
"'There wasn't even a trce or
anything on the skyline which could
have caused a reflection. The firm tatts.
which maade the film assure me that
it must have been perfect.'
Behind Elizabeth the picture "Behind Elizabeth the picture
showed a 'spaceman' in a white shewed a 'spaceman' in a white
padded suit and helmet. He looked
abut 7it. tall. abut 7t. tall.
"Jim said last night: 'I took it to
the Carlisle police. They were
amazed.'
The photograph was so good and "The photograph wa's so good and
clear I don't think it could have been
a technical fault.'
"Carlisle police experts studied the
picture, Detective Chief Superin-
tendent Tom Oldcorn said yesterday:
'At first sight we thought it was a doub-
ie exposure. But it's not. The picture ie exposure. But it's not. The picture
shows someone in white, but Mr.
Templeton says there was no one else
about. It is very puzzling.'
'We're not taking it seriously It
must be some sort of freak picture.'"
All alempts made on behalf of the
wewiw to get in touch with Mr. Temple-
Lon prowed unsuccessful. The reason
may perhaps be found in a brief and
practicnlly nnmoticed paragraph in the
Daity Expras of June 20 in the effect
that bath Me. Templetan's film and camera
hat been seat to the Ministry of Defence
in Whitehall. The photograph will
therefore be esther dismissed as a trick of
light or we shall hear no mote about he
