"To my surprise," Senor Bonilla wrote in a scientific journal, "| observed a small luminous body traverse the disc of the sun. | had not recovered from my surprise when the same phenomenon was repeated! And that with such frequency that, in the space of two hours, | counted up to two hundred eighty-three bodies crossing the solar disc. "Since my camera had already been set up to photograph sun spots, | photographed most of these strange bodies in projection and in profile. Some appear round or spherical, but one notices in the photographs that the bodies are not spherical, but irregular in form." The world's foremost authority on space travel, Dr. Hermann Oberth, conducted a three-year study of unidentified flying objects for the West German government before the United States put him under contract to head the Jupiter space program. At the termination of his study in June, 1955, the space scientist said: "They (flying saucers) do not originate on this earth and probably do not originate in our solar system, but very likely come from another galaxy. It is our conclusion that they propel themselves by distorting the gravitational field." At a press conference that Dr. Oberth held in late 1959, after he had completed his contract at Huntsville, Alabama, the German spacemaster tipped the world off that the Air Force is taking the saucers much more seriously than their official position would seem to indicate. Dr. Oberth stated that the United States was trying to duplicate the propulsion system which is presumably used by the unidentified space vehicles. According to Dr. Oberth: "Considerable success has been attained in this program, and | believe that within five years, men will be able to travel to the moon in craft propelled by electro-magnetic means." Even if the German scientist was a bit premature in his estimate of the time involved to perfect electro- magnetic travel, the Air Force remains noncommittal on the subject of how far behind Dr. Oberth's projected schedule they might be. And, of course, the obvious question remains: Is it possible that the publicly scoffing Air Force has secretly captured, recovered, or restored a number of unidentified flying objects which would enable them to study the means of saucer propulsion?
