The colour effect in that room was so pretty that I almost fainted when I went in. A mixture of beautiful colours - I can't describe it. There were eight chairs, a stool, and what appeared to be an altar. Zeeno said, *Would you like to pay your respects to the Supreme Deity?’ I didn't know how to accept it... I'm forty-five years old, and until that night I had never felt the presence of the Supreme Being, but I did feel Him that night. After taking a short flight in the object, Padrick claimed he was returned to the beach where he had been picked up. He reported his experience to the Air Force immediately and was later inter- viewed for three hours by officers from the nearby Hamilton Air Force Base. They wanted an account of it, word for word,' he said in a later telephone interview. 'I told them exactly what happened. They were the first to hear it. There were certain details which they asked me not to talk about publicly; but I think in telling it everything should be disclosed. I can see no reason for anything being held back. The Air Force didn't want me to say that Zeeno told me the space people had no money. They did not want me to disclose the type and shape of the craft because they said that would indicate the Air Force was not doing its duty. I told them I could see no reason for that either. I know the Air Force believed it - I know it from the standpoint that they did a lot of checking down here in the area. They were here for quite some time after the incident. -. They didn't want me to divulge the saucer's means of communication or power. [Padrick was led to assume that the object was powered by light waves or magnetic rays]. Also, the man's name... they didn't want me to repeat that... because "It didn't mean anything."" Reporters found that Sid Padrick was backed up by everyone who knew him. He was highly regarded as an honest man and was not a religious fanatic or UFO nut. Ironically, the hardcore UFO cultists rejected his story out of hand because of the unpalatable religious overtones. Everyone else, including the Air Force, took him very seriously. Radio amateurs continue to receive strange messages from somewhere. Ham operators in flap areas have cautiously reported all kinds of manifestations, including the materialization of entities in their radio shacks. It is common for UFO contactees to hear alien voices delivering personal messages to them from their ordinary home receivers. A number of people even claim that images of the spacemen have appeared suddenly on their TV sets and addressed them directly. The rapid increase of such cases since 1965 suggests that a new game may be in the making. It sounds like a cliche science fiction plot, but a time may come when a general message to the human race may suddenly spurt from every receiver on Earth in every language. Wouldn't that be a kick in the teethl During World War I very low frequencies (VLF} were briefly experimented with. These are very long radio waves which require a specially built receiver. In the last few years VLF stations have quietly been constructed all over the world, although there are only a few commercial receivers on the market, and very few hams have VLF equipment. Most of that is of World War I vintage. The U.S. Navy maintains several gigantic installations which cost millions of dollars and serve the announced purpose of communicating with our atomic submarines throughout the world's seas
