50 convincing evidence of UFO reality and of U.S. government complicity yet revealed. But is it genuine? Fortunately, there are names within the notes that can be checked, and since the notes were found in a large collection of Smith's materials and were in his handwriting, it can reasonably be assumed that they were indeed made by Smith. It wasn't hard to check out "Lt/C. Bremner," who turned out to have been the defense attache at the Canadian embassy in Washington, just the sort of person to be involved in a meeting of this magnitude. One down, one to go. And that one—Dr. Robert Sarbacher—would turn out to be the most important individual yet connected with the UFO story. Stanton Friedman, with the cooperation of Arthur Bray, took up the challenge and in 1982 found Dr. Sarbacher in a directory of leading scientists: A consultant to the U.S. Research and Development Board, he had been the dean of the graduate school at Georgia Tech and was operating his own scientific laboratory, which did some government work. In the fall of 1983, UFO enthusiast William Steinman had a brief exchange of correspondence with Dr. Sarbacher that pro- duced these answers to his questions: STEINMAN: Relate your own experience as pertaining to your involvement with these recovered flying saucers—description of saucers, occupants, names of others involved, places of recoveries, dates of recov- eries, etc. SARBACHER: Relating to my own experience regarding fly- ing saucers, I had no association with any of the people involved in the recovery and have no knowledge re- garding the dates of the recoveries. If I had I would send it to you. STEINMAN: Verification that the persons listed were in- volved: (a) Thomas Townsend Brown; (b) Dr. Weisberg; (c) Dr. Robert H. Kent; (d) Dr. Hellmut Schmidt; (e) Dr. John von Neuman; (f) Dr. Wernher von Braun; (g) Dr. Francis Bitter,- (h) Dr. Leo A. GeBauer; (i) Dr. J. Robert CRASH AT CORONA
