Civil Defense Director Watches 'Flying Saucer' GOLDEN GATE Handicap—Results Oakland Tribune ESTABLISHED FEBRUARY 21, 1874 • OAKLAND, CALIFORNIA METRO FINAL PM 93rd YEAR, No. 81 B TUESDAY, MARCH 22, 1966 10¢ DAILY, $2.25 A MONTH Eerie 1896 Sighting By JIM HAZELWOOD A so-called Unidentified Flying Objects (UFOs) were seen Sunday by at least 60 people from two Western Ontario counties. A bizarre story of UFO sightings in the Hillsdale area to March 1966. The date was Nov. 22, 1896. The Stockton "airship" was first mentioned in the next issue. And a number of other sightings and sounds of persons who said they were watching the heavens. It should be borne in mind that shapes of aircraft and early outlines of aircraft of the science of the future when the following story as reproduced in part, was written. [ILLEGIBLE] "That a huge airship has appeared in the last few nights has in the public mind been accepted as proven..." persons "whose integrity is unquestioned have distinctly seen it." "Last evening at about 7:30 o'clock, the passengers on an Alameda car were startled by the sight of a brilliant stream of light bulb in the heavens off to his left." "The passengers distinctly saw one of the things. Last evening at about 7:30 a light bulb went on in the heavens off to his left, and it existed in its brilliant lighted." "The passengers were startled by the presence of a huge bird in its ordinary flight, illuminated by a storm of a huge bulb in the front of the car, guided by a man in a huge black uniform." "Last evening, at about 7:30 one of the items turned two persons called him and told him about strange lights seen over Binghamton." [ILLEGIBLE - article continues] As he perceived the light, he attracted the attention of the other passengers and all, intense and anxious, watched the peculiar machine. It moved through the sky directly toward San Francisco. It seemed to be of huge size. Not only was the airship seen by the passengers, but residents of the city distinctly saw the brilliant light streaming from the machine on high. "Those who believe in the existence of a successful airship have been borne out in their faith, and he is navigating the heavens." [ILLEGIBLE] He said his mother said it might be the Air Force "flying a truck." He said nothing unusual when told of the saucery activity in Michigan last Sunday until after he told a neighbor about it. The Michigan report had not yet been publicly validated. HOWEVER, JOHNNY and his mother said nothing unusual when told of the saucery. [ILLEGIBLE] 87 Coeds Observe 'Object' HILLSDALE, Mich. (UPI) — A professor and 87 college students watched an unidentified object hovering near a college dormitory Sunday night. Van Horn, 40, Hilldale county defense director for 20 years, said he watched the object through binoculars and saw blue, green and white lights flashing from the disc-shaped object. In a statement sent straight to Southern Michigan Sunday night a drawing was made that he was getting confirmation of his encounters and those from outside his encounters. He said the Air Force wasn't going to investigate his claim. He said the Air Force told him the object had been visited by him from outside. Van Horn told the Air Force if the many of the objects seen in the U.S. are meteoroids in the sky. [ILLEGIBLE] Binghamton, N.Y., October 24, 1965 THE SUNDAY PRESS ENCOUNTER WITH A SPACE SHIP 'I Know What I Saw'; Egg-Shaped Craft By KEITH GEORGE GARY WILCOX T. Wilcox is a young man dogged by rumors. Gary Wilcox touched the craft, according to his dairy farm here has since been come bust because of what he saw. The story got the most him on the express surprise, saying he'd been at a New York City hospital suffering from a nervous breakdown. "He's the most honest man I know," said one of his four sister ships, laid in a graveyard. Sixteen years ago he graduated from high school with one of his encounters. He was in the service for six years. His own words: "I just don't want to be made into a fool." Gary said he had joined the Tioga County Sheriff's Department after he returned from the Air Force. He visited his farm by the dozens. [ILLEGIBLE - article continues] Than 5 Million People They Saw Flying Saucers By GEORGE GALLUP Princeton (Spl) — [ILLEGIBLE - small print] This awareness score is one of two Fortunate causes of the history of the Gallup Poll. Since flying saucers became a big topic in at least in June when he was driving through Wisconsin, the subject of UFOs has been kept before the public attention in recent times... [ILLEGIBLE - Gallup Poll article continues across multiple columns] Further analysis of these data almost 20 years ago. At that time Gallup survey found that many persons who say they have reported "saucer" sightings were in fact confusing them with airplanes, weather balloons, and similar objects. Those who had more formal education were more likely to say their sightings were "imaginary." For every person (per cent) who participated in a Gallup survey said that "something like an alien did exist on other planets." Forty per cent said they believe that the universe exercise. [ILLEGIBLE] The Ventura County (Calif.) Star-Free Press 4-1-66 Two In County Claim They Saw 'Glowing' UFO [ILLEGIBLE] [Additional articles - ILLEGIBLE due to small print] Sheriff aides Civil Defense Director Were 'Close' RAVENNA, Ohio (AP) — "We were close, closer than I ever want to be again," said a deputy sheriff who chased an unidentified flying object from Ohio into Pennsylvania. Hundreds of persons in Ohio and Pennsylvania said they saw the object. The deputies said they chased it Sunday morning. J. Neff, a native of Ravenna, was the second deputy to spot the UFO early Sunday morning. They were about a mile away and could see it clearly even though it was broad daylight. It was glowing and glowing. The objects were bigger than the others with a cup like bottom and a large cup on top of it — the mother ship. The deputy saw a disc approaching and checking and checking out reports of the object again. [ILLEGIBLE - article continues] Hytek's role is scientific consultant of the "official Air Force Blue Book," the official Air Force program set up to track down reports of unidentified flying objects. At least two Ventura County residents saw what was apparently an unidentified flying object Wednesday night shooting across the sky it was reported. [ILLEGIBLE]

SPECIAL AFSCA THIRD NATIONAL FLYING SAUCER CONVENTION ISSUE
ISSUE NO. 24 JULY, 1966 50c
INTERNATIONALSPECIAL AFSCA CONVENTION MESSAGE
BRIGHT WORLD IN HANDS OF SAUCER MOVEMENT
(Editor's Note: This special message was
received from Master Kalen-Li Retan (head of the
planet Korendor, about 400 light years distant) on
May 4, 1966 via special directional short-wave radio
by Bob Renaud, the young electronic-technician whose
remarkable story we printed in issues #18, 19, 20, 21,
and 22, and which will be continued in our next issue.
Since Bob's initial radio contact in 1961, he has
talked with the crew of a spacecraft as he watched
them on his special TV screen in his home — and
eventually met his contacts in-person; visited their
undersea and underground bases on our planet; was
taken aboard many of their spaceships; and was
actually allowed to pilot two of their small scout
craft — one on a short solo flight.)
"Kalo (Hello), friends. We will get directly to
the point of our message to you. Frankly, we are
appalled at the state of Earth at present. Despite our
constant warnings and even our actual intervention in
some instances, the condition upon your planet grows
steadily worse.
One subject on everyone's lips these days is
Vietnam. From a little civil war, it has grown
steadily and inexorably into a full scale conflict
between the world's three major powers: the United
States, the Soviet Union, and Communist China.
Many influential people have used the approach
of patriotism and love of God and Country to twist
decent human feelings into dangerous channels of
thought and action. With their charges of treason and
sympathy with the enemy, they have aroused a good
portion of the populace to a state of fear, distrust,
and hatred of those who seek peace and love. Unfor-
tunately, because some unconventional individuals
have been associated with the peace movement, that
entire operation has been seriously hindered.
Your government is a military puppet, a mere
parrot of the monstrosity that is the Military-Indus-
trial complex. Your senators, except for a few, are
robots, speaking what they are told to say.
Your President is, unfortunately, a pawn of
their needs and demands. We have contacted him
several times concerning the state of affairs, and he
has said that he could do nothing to change them, for
if he were to speak out against the Asian conflict, he
would be removed. This is what happened to the late
Mr. Kennedy who, in his great humanitarianism, was
reluctant to sacrifice his ideals and his visions for
the sake of the Military Industrial octopus. He paid
the supreme penalty for his efforts in behalf of
humanity.
Make no mistake. Your government is not in the
White House or the Congress. IT IS IN THE PENTA-
GON, AND IN THE HEADQUARTERS OF THE VAST
"DEFENSE"-ORIENTED INDUSTRIES. It is THEY,
not the President or the Congressmen, who run the
United States. The facade government is merely to
allay undue alarm or suspicion of the people.
Examine another aspect of the Asian war, the
ECONOMIC side. Do you recall that, in the stock
reports just recently, the Dow-Jones average
dropped sharply BECAUSE OF A RUMOR THAT
NORTH VIETNAM HAD MADE A PEACE BID? Does
the staggering implication of this news evade you?
Stock prices suffering a heavy loss because of a
rumor that peace might come to pass!
This thought is most distressing. Your economy
relies so heavily upon war and destruction, that if it
were to stop, THE UNITED STATES ECONOMY
WOULD SUFFER A MASSIVE DEPRESSION! Your
money system would collapse like a house of cards.
Millions would be unemployed, sick, hungry and
homeless. Tremendous industrial complexes would
close their doors.
The utterly appalling fact is this: WAR IS
PROFITABLE. Highly so! Every major conflict has
been accompanied by a strong peak in your monetary
prosperity. Peace has usually been economically
painful!
After World War 1, the nation coasted for a while
upon the fat put on during the boom of the war years.
In 1929, the bottom fell out. After the Korean War,
in the 1950's came another recession. What comes
after Vietnam? No one knows, and no one wants to
find out. The war in Vietnam is bringing an unheard-
of degree of affluence in the United States. Why kill
a good thing by ending the war? The philosopy, in
essence, is this: It is economically expedient to send
military forces to Vietnam and elsewhere in Asia in
order to wage war, because in doing so, the United
States' economy is bolstered and maintained at a high
level of prosperity; human life is secondary to the
preservation of economic well-being!
It is thus evident that, unless a drastic change is
made in the structure of your economy, war will
never end because the Military-Industrial complex
WON'T LET IT!
Many of you fear Communism. Where did that
fear come from, I ask you? From within yourself?
NO! It was brainwashed into you by the Military-
Industrial complex. Who controls all your news
media? The government and the advertisers. Who,
then, is in a position to dictate what shall be printed?

Consider this: In order to survive, a commer-
cial medium, such as a newspaper or magazine,
requires a vast amount of advertising revenue. The
mere subscription fees will not cover the costs.
Thus, they depend for their continued existence upon
money paid by advertisers. Suppose, then, that the
editor of a certain newspaper decides that he is
opposed to the Vietnam policy, and says so in his
paper. The advertisers simply say to the editor,
"Either you toe the mark and print what we want, or
we'll withdraw our advertising."
Such pressures are a fact of life. The newsmen
are torn between their higher devotion to Truth, and
also to the lower level of their physical needs.
Rather than jeopardize their security and their
futures they, of course, submit meekly to power.
Their actions are fully understandable, and we do not
hold them responsible.
We throw the blame directly on the Military-
Industrial complex which, by its underhanded dealing,
threats of force, and economic pressure and retali-
ation, has crushed the spirit of American journalism
and turned it from a dynamic motivating force in
American life into a weak-willed, subservient
mouthpiece for the power-masters. We blame them
for the death of journalistic freedom and individuality!
One more comment on this topic: May I say that
a better economic system is already known to the
leaders of the Flying Saucer Movement. It is the
system known as Universal Economics. As we have
said over and over before, it is the non-money
economic system which MUST be applied on your
planet before you can start to resolve most of your
major problems and thus begin to establish a highly-
advanced, non-destructive state of existance on
Earth, such as we of more advanced planets have
enjoyed for so long. INVESTIGATE THIS SYSTEM
to evaluate it for its merit — then ACT to apply it!
YOUR VERY SURVIVAL AS A CIVILIZATION MAY
DEPEND UPON IT!
Perhaps this is an opportune time to clarify a
few questions which have been asked about us.
Do we of Korendor work with the local planets
in our operations? Yes, we do cooperate with them
a great deal. However, our work on Earth is
relatively independent of the local planets. We have
many times overstepped what is considered to be the
limit of interference upheld by Venus, Mars, and
other planets. This has caused a good deal of debate
between them and us. Each time we have pointed out
that we of Korendor are basically pragmatic in nature.
Although we do respect the laws of self-destiny, we
feel also that where stepping in is required to prevent
disaster, it is our right and our duty to do so.
We have interfered in such places as the United
States, China, Russia, and on a large scale in
Vietnam. This has caused no end of consternation in
the local Tribunal of Planets. We are sympathetic to
their viewpoint, but we do feel that their policy is
limited in its capacity to achieve the desired goals.
It is our opinion that one cannot stand on the sidelines
and achieve any noticeable results.
As I have said before, we have infiltrated your
planet. We are directly involved in Earth's life.
You might say that you have been invaded — a strong
way of phrasing it, to be sure, but nonetheless
factual, since we walk and work amongst you daily!
We have been asked about our physical appear-
ance. We are humanoid, indistinguishable from
yourselves, except that in our natural form we aver-
age three to four feet in height. Every other dimen-
sion is proportionately scaled, so that photographs of
us would not reveal our origin in any way.
We are able to increase our height while on
Earth through a technical process related to telepor-
tation. It is concerned with recording the atomic and
molecular structures of our bodies, and then repro-
ducing them identically on a larger scale. Differ-
ences in our internal structure are adjusted by the
computer which controls the reproducer.
Our most common skin color is a little darker
than yours, although we have skin colors which vary
as yours do all over the Earth. Usually, however,
we would look "tan" to you. We are NOT green, blue,
or heliotrope, as has been suggested!
Concerning our language, we generally use one
of two tongues and we are fairly familiar with a third.
On Korendor itself we speak the native language,
Korendian. It is similar in many ways to your own
languages since it, like yours, was originally derived
from Galingua, one of the two universal tongues.
The other is Solex Mal, which is more familiar to
you, since it is used by your local Solar System
planets. It is seldom heard now in our sector of
space, as Galingua has replaced it almost completely.
Unlike your own, however, the Korendian-
Galinguan speech is very rhythmic, and has few
sibilant sounds, such as "s" or "z". Some of the
sharper sounds like "c" and "k" are minimized. It is
a beautiful language which is very musical and
pleasant to hear.
Perhaps you would be surprised to learn that
ancient Latin was liberally taken from Galingua.
There are many similarities in the two languages.
Even modern English has roots on other worlds!
In concluding my message to you, may I say —
people of Earth: open up your minds and your hearts
to the world around you. There is so much to be
learned, so much to discover, and we waste
precious hours and days in bigotry and ignorance,
and in senseless fighting and killing. To do so is
truly a crime against nature and humanity.
At this stage where you have the very stars
almost in your grasp, how irrational and barbaric it
is to spend futile hours warring with your brothers.
As an old saying on your world puts it: "As you make
your bed, so shall you lie in it." The decision does
not seem difficult. Here are the alternatives: A
world living in harmony, justice, security and abun-
dance for all, or a world continuing to reap the
bloody harvests that grow from the seeds of hatred
and mistrust. If left to their own devices, the
majority of mankind will forge onward to a destiny of
destruction and annihilation, oblivious to the danger
in their actions. They are short-sighted; they care
little for the future.
It is you New Age people, dedicated to the wel-
fare of all mankind, and having the vision and under-
standing of the ways to build the better world of
tomorrow, who must lead the way. You have the
future in YOUR hands, if you will but shoulder your
responsibilities. The Flying Saucer Movement, as
you call it, belongs to you. Support it in every way
possible. Help it to grow until it is influential
thoughout your world. Go out into the world and
guide the misguided, find the lost, and recover the
strays. We are behind you all the way. As we have
said many times before, we will take two steps for
every one that you take to help yourselves.
The time has come for nations to "bury the
hatchet", to clasp hands, and plunge into the future
together — in co-operation toward mutual goals.
Look to the heavens and realize that your destiny
is not in bleak atomic desolation, but in the magnifi-
cent futures that you can achieve if you will but
work for it. Choose the right path and you will soon
qualify to join with us in our journeys amongst the
stars.

OUR NEW NAME: Our magazine, formerly
called "UFO International", has now become "Flying
Saucers International", which we feel to be a more
appropriate title, since Flying Saucers are no longer
Unidentified Flying Objects as far as we are concern-
ed. Flying Saucers have become a serious issue
with thinking people all over the world. We believe
that most of the objects which have been sighted have
been of extraterrestrial origin, controlled by intelli-
gent beings who, in form, are very much like us.
Therefore, we hope you will understand our reasons
for changing titles, and that you will continue to
enjoy reading our publication under its new banner.

Angeles, Calif. 90028; on March 5, 1966. After the
program Dr. King personally escorted us around the
attractive quarters. He also reported that a high
Space Being in physical form had visited there
recently for an hour and fifteen minutes and, after
walking around the premises, left his blessing on the
Aetherius Society and its work. For further infor-
mation call 465-9652, or write to the above address.
DELLA LARSON, who for over a decade was the
guiding light and main instigator of Flying Saucer
meetings and activities in the San Francisco Bay
Area, passed away on October 25, 1965. She was
70 years old. She will be remembered for her
energetic and enthusiastic dedication to the goals of
the Flying Saucer cause, as well as for the highly
successful annual Northern California Space Craft
Conventions which she organized for nine years.
(Della, we salute you!)
MAX MILLER, former publisher of the now-
defunct "Saucers" magazine, and author of "Flying
Saucers: Fact or Fiction" (now out of print), has a
new role. He is now editor-publisher of "Real" mag-
azine which may be found on the newstands for 50¢.
The August '66 issue devotes about half of its space to
the Flying Saucer subject and will be well worth your
investigation.
WILBUR MILLER, one of the early researchers
in the Flying Saucer Movement, passed away on
March 5, 1966. He was known for his fine channel
contacts with several Space Beings, including Moaka
of Mars. He also was the co-author — with his wife,
Evelyn — of the book "We of the New Dimension."
Although he was a native of Missouri he had, in
recent years, been a resident of Los Angeles and of
Morongo Valley, Calif. (Good journey, Will!)
HOPE TROXELL, founder of the School of
Thought, now situated in Independence, Calif. (P.O.
Box 458), reported recently that the neighboring
towns of Bishop and Lone Pine had partial blackouts
during an evening channel (teltpathic) session she was
having with the Space Brothers. The lights in Inde-
pendence went out completely for several minutes by
a gradual fade-out, and then came on again in the
same manner. During this time, the Space Being
speaking through Hope said to those present: "Be not
afraid. We are guardians of the race. Protection
will be given to those in the area."
HAL WILCOX made a fine guest appearance on
the Joe Pyne TV Show, April 30, 1966. Hal passed
the lie-detector test with flying colors and conducted
himself with dignity and fortitude, which isn't always
easy on the Joe Pyne Show. During the test, Hal
stated that he had taken a saucer ride to visit the
second planet from the star, Alpha Centauri.

Tracked by Radar
UFOs Sighted Over Wide Section of District
An unidentified flying object was tracked briefly on radar by a U.S. Air Force base in Michigan last night, and a multitude of new sightings were reported by Western Ontario residents.
A retired U.S. Marines Corps major and yesterday "there is substantial evidence" that they are observing craft "controlled by a superior civilization."
Sightings of the objects were reported last night over an area stretching from Sarnia to Kincardine, northward of
Woodstock. The mysterious objects came in a variety of forms, according to their observers.
There was no orange one at London: red, white and blue flashes. There was a red one in London that had a pulsating whitish halo. The one at Kincardine was tentatively stated to being identically fast in dull red. Some of them were lights tailing it through the sky like a bead, and some of them were sitting stock-still in mid-air. Some were poking along and
some were travelling slowly with intermittent bursts of speed.
A spokesman at the U.S. Air Force base at Selfridge, Mich., said one was tracked briefly on radar, but could not say what it was.
Some observers said their sightings lasted for about seven minutes. Other reported keeping the object in sight for up to two hours.
The Free Press sent five men on Middlesex-hunting two of them in a chartered plane, but found only two high-flying
jet planes carrying the usual red and green running lights used by commercial aircraft.
Maj. Donald E. Keyho, the Marine officer who advanced theory on Aerial Phenomena, called on the U.S. Government yesterday to release all the information it has on UFO sightings.
"There is substantial evidence we are being observed by some sort of device which is
far more advanced than anything we have and is controlled by a superior civilization," he told a press conference.
"These things are real and under intelligent control," he added. He urged the air force to "end the secrecy on sightings and stop ridiculing the competent witnesses" who have seen them.
Keyho, who has written several books on the subject of UFOs, is director of the investigations committee.
To majority of the Western
Ontario sightings came from London and Sarnia.
Mrs. J. Fielding, of 1630 Comm. St., London, reported seeing a white light in the sky that she said "there was a round headed torpedo" that started at 7:15 p.m.
A Thorndale, "ant parent" Floyd Baxter, at 7:45 reported seeing an orange and yellow light moving very slowly to the northeast. He estimated it to be more than 1,000 feet.
Fifteen minutes later at Kincardine, six miles northeast of
Thorndale, a mother and her two children saw a white light, quite high in the sky, that seemed to be blinking.
Mrs. J. H. Haynes, of Kincardine, reported that the UFO at about 9:17 p.m. above her house, and said "there was a round dark disc shape."
According to police, the family was reported seven other lights: one of which was described as bright blue and grey oval in shape. It was said the UFO hovered some 1,000 feet above them, "took off" at a high rate of speed in an easterly direction.

RAVENNA, Ohio, April 19 — "We were closer, closer than I ever want to be again," said a deputy sheriff who chased an unidentified flying object from Obie into Pennsylvania.
Hundreds of persons in five states reported seeing the object in the sky early Sunday morning.
The deputy of Portage County, of Mantua, about eight miles east of Ravenna, had taken a picture of the object from his cruiser but Air Force officials told him not to release it.
He said it looked like "two table saucers put together."

Six Teens Tell of 'Chase'
by Buzzing, Lighted UFOs
By ROBERT KISTLER
Denver Post Staff Writer
Six picnicking Denver teen-agers reported Thursday night they were chased for 2 hours by buzzing lighted objects in Daniels Park south of Denver in Douglas County.
The high-schoolers told police Chief John C. MacIver at Littleton they witnessed an unexplained, "hovering" object, "accompanied by a series of pulsating buzzing sounds which began about 9 p.m."
The group appeared at MacIver's office shortly before 11 pm.
"I was real skeptical at first," MacIver said, "But each of the kids called their parents—who knew nothing of the incident—to tell them what'd been going on."
Alan Scrivner, 17, Mr. and Mrs. Russell Scrivner of 1767 Jackson St., a junior at East High School, gave the following account:
Scrivner said five friends drove to Daniels Park, 10-12 miles southwest of Littleton, about 8:30 pm. They parked the car and walked about halfway down a small incline and sat up against a stone shelter built in the side of a hill.
The group was sitting around a fire they'd built inside when they heard "what sounded like a man walking on top of the shelter" — and could easily be reached on foot past the slanting hillside.
Scrivner and Don Otte, East High junior, walked to the top of the shelter and shined a flashlight into the surrounding area. Nothing was there.
The two—having the others behind in the shelter—made their way through the woods and back to the road. They thought someone was messing around my car," Scrivner said.
"Just as we got to the car," he said, "both of us heard a rumble, and looked up to the road in front of us."
As they reached the car, the youths saw "two red lights and a white light in diamond—shape above us on the ground and parallel to each other." There was a white light in the same direction beyond.
The lights, about 20 feet apart, appeared to be in a field on the far side of the shelter from the "parked cars" to the car. The two, thinking "it might be two parked cars or motorcycles," decided to investigate.
About three minutes later, they again approached the shelter. They saw and heard nothing. They returned to the shelter.
The four in the shelter said that, while the two had been gone, they'd heard a "deep, loud-like" sound on the roof again. Two of the girls said they'd also seen a "tall
person, who might've been wearing a raincoat," dart through the light showing through the window into the area. They also said they heard "buzzing."
The group decided to leave.
As they started back to the car, Otte turned and saw "a real bright flash behind the shelter and then the car lit up and it lit up the whole wheat area."
Buzzing 'All Around'
The buzzing had begun again. No direction. "Just all around — never heard anything like it in my life. When they got back to the area of the car, they all agreed they saw the same thing."
Two blue lights appeared in the field a block away, about three-quarters of a mile away. The lights were stationary and went from bright to dim. A third light appeared to rise up and down between the blues and "lit up the area."
No outline—other than the lights—was visible.
As they drove off, one of the girls and Otte saw what appeared to be the shelter and then started moving in their direction from the first lights seen in the field.
As the girls became more excited, another sighting, these blues with a bright red in the center — appeared off to the side at about a block. Then three times. They hovered near the ground. The buzzing continued.
The group was overcrowded with no stars visible but "real
clear beneath the clouds where the lights were." As the third set of lights hovered, the youths agreed they could see a dark object behind the "glow."
"It looked like a black football—the blue lights on each side, like a football's seams. The red light was at the bottom. It didn't move up and own, but did cast some kind of glow over the field," one viewer said.
'Car Didn't Work Right'
The youngsters filed in the car — a 1964 Ford — and started for home.

THE COCKEYED BALLAD
There's a cockeyed feeling in the world today
That power politics is here to stay.
But China, Russia and the U.S.A.
Boy—don't let them fool you!
Take a look at this world of ours,
Just one mud ball in the sea of stars.
Other planets have no color-bars,
'Cause they've got perspective.
Yanks and Ruskies put men into space,
But it's all a mad politician's race,
One-up-manship in this Year of Grace.
It makes you giggle.
The population stands and stares,
While men in capsules explore upstairs.
Why we can't even manage our own affairs!
Some cheek—colonization!
Besides, they've got people on Venus and Mars.
They got lads and lasses and ma's and pa's.
And they've got better transport than four-wheel cars.
Have you ever seen 'em?
Those Flying Saucers whisking through our skies
Must take some power to make them rise.
But government departments just hide their eyes.
And call them meteors!
With all the lies that they print and shout,
The general public's got its work cut out—
Figuring what it's all about.
But just you keep on trying.
I suppose you know why I'm telling you this,
So you won't shriek or shake your fist
When you discover Martians do exist!
They're real nice fellows.
I know, 'cause I met one a week ago!
His ship came down for an hour or so.
He talked to me, but then he had to go.
Real interested I was!
Got brothers on Venus and Saturn, it seems—
Fly their ships on magnetic beams.
They wear one piece suits—you can't see any seams;
But apart from that—they're just like us!
SPACE-TALK
The powers that be will tell us we're alone.
They'll tell us that in space we are unique;
On this little desert island we call Earth
The human race is just a kind of freak.
When we send our envoys into space
There'll be a smile upon this planet's face,
'Cause brother, right out there—I'm telling you,
There's another human race; it's very true!
They're a very, very peaceful crowd,
For they just never go to war.
And they cannot interfere,
And they cannot interfere,
The spaceman's message to us all
Is based on how to banish fear,
And if we only understand,
We will find it heaven here.
While we must rely on war,
We never will be happy here.
While this world's economy
Is based on hardship, strife and fear.
How do they live without a war
In their lands of milk and honey?
They don't need economy,
Because they don't use any money!
They cannot give us any ships,
So we must try and build our own.
But they are waiting right out there,
Oh, my friends, we're not alone!
How do they go at such great speed,
And vanish then without prediction?
Because they use free energy,
And there isn't any friction.
Brother have you seen their ships?
Sisters have you seen them glow,
As they dance and hover in the sky,
And make our fastest jets look slow?

An 11-year-old Wichita boy has joined the ranks of the many across the nation who have reported seeing "flying saucers" during the year of 1966.

WHEN CONTACTED at the home, Mrs. Thomas said that about 8 a.m. Friday Johnny came running up to her early yesterday.
"There is no doubt I am seeing flying saucers," she recalled.

She said Johnny had told her that at first he thought a big diesel truck was pulling into the driveway, but then the humming noise stopped.
JOHNNY SAID HIS saucery landed in the driveway, on the road of his house—somewhere near a resting. Johnny evidently had spent a little while because he sat all of something that kept telling...

NEW YORK (AP) — A flying object — apparently a saucer — was last night watching off thousands of saucer-shaped craft that touched off warnings from news agencies reporting everything from a mysterious glowing to "flying saucers." A retired Marine Corps Major said yesterday "there is substantial evidence" that the objects are observed.
ARMY SPOKESMEN said towers at Washington airport reported an object flying about 1,600 feet above the ground. It was also reported from North Carolina.
The LIGHTS were off in the direction of the object, according to reports. They appeared to be in two round balls going along at the same speed. They appeared to be traveling along at a northwest course and never moved beyond 5-50.

County police and the Hamilton police are questioning the boy, Stephen Michalak, 11, before reporting the incident. Constable Green said it was harder than he has ever handled.
He described the objects as about four feet high with red, and three feet high with red, and three feet high red, with green and yellow lights. He said they had been somewhat shaped to indicate any of the sightings of such objects. He said he "screamed" at the object, was not alarmed, only interested, and hadn't seen any of them before.

The latest was sighted a few nights ago by residents and pilots in the northern tier of states and Canada. They described it as an orange fireball. The Air Force at first called it an unidentified flying object, but now they call it a flying saucer. Some other people called it a flying saucer. Several people say they saw the fireball land near Kecksburg, Penna. A woman in Elyria, Ohio, 10 miles away, claims there were lights traveling through it. Others say they found a metallic looking object in a vacant lot across the street from her home. Others say the object had strange lights on it. However, the thing has yet to be found. In the last 20 years there's been a great increase in reports of unidentified flying objects, or UFOs, which are mysterious because they seem seen but never found. Whatever it turns out to be—meteor, satellite part, hocus, weather oddity or man from Mars—it appears in a longer pattern of such objects, which almost disappeared from public consciousness and started a new wave in reports of flying saucers in the mid-1960s. "We've had more reports this year than in any year since 1957, when we had more than a million," says a spokesman for Project Blue Book, the Air Force program set up in 1945 to evaluate reports of flying saucers.

Lawrence Bressette, who operates a store on the Kettle Point Indian Reserve, said a motorist brought the object to his attention about 8 p.m. He said he looked at it through binoculars and could see red, blue, green and white lights flashing from the disc-shaped object. Scientists who examined the spot where the officers said that they saw the object are reported to have found that a six-foot wide section of the tarred road had been badly burned. Grass on either side of the highway also was reported slightly scorched. Mr. Bressette said it remained motionless for about 45 minutes, then slowly began to rise. Cloud cover rolled in about 10 p.m. allowing only periodic sightings. "I've never seen anything like this," he said. "We all saw it. It was low — about 200 to 300 feet off the ground to the east.

Head Saucer Believers Martians Are Watching Us Who's in All Those Saucers? By Harold Scarlett Was Jesus Christ a Martian? "It's hard to say," said Gabriel Green, thoughtfully.

It's no trick to walk on water or ascend to the heavens if you have a Martian levitation belt around your waist and an anti-gravity beam to keep you from explaining. Furthermore, he said, the Martians now visiting earth on flying saucers are trying to save the earth's people from their own follies — just as the Savior was. You can speak with some authority on these matters because, he says, he met and talked with a Martian once. Also a four-foot man from the Alpha Centauri system. Also some other unearthly visitors. SOMETIMES, HE said, he met these flying saucer crewmen by telepathic appointments. THESE were arranged through some of his own telepathic talents. "And once in a while," he said, "they would just call on the phone." Green, who is 44, of Los Angeles, is the head saucer — the president — of the Amalgamated Flying Saucer Clubs of America. Not being too telepathic, he later called Green on the phone to interview him for a piece on the recent rash of flying saucer sightings and also to report on the flying saucer convention here Friday through Sunday. The current series of sightings and landings, I understand, will continue. They are not going to go away, as some members of our community would like. "WHY DO THEY keep buzzing down here and scaring people?" What, with the saucer proliferation growing, it seems rather obvious that unless we start resolving the bigger problems facing mankind, we will destroy ourselves and take a good portion of the universe along with us," Green explained. "This is one of the primary reasons why the extra-terrestrials started making visits in 1947, shortly after we got the atom bomb," said Green. "We know they must intervene at some point," and they have done so, if you will just believe him. "We ARE (he put his fist) THEM" he said, "dealing primarily with resolving the motive for wars, expansionism and poverty. They hope to eliminate the have-not nations... through superior technology, and an advanced economic system they call Universal Economics. The economic part of it is what I personally am trying to triumph." HE SAID RUEFULLY, however, that the saucer clubs themselves are in an economic pinch that has prevented needed research. Green said he runs the saucer clubs out of his own home, at 2004 North Hoover St. in Los Angeles. He has a pilot training class in his group (after "training" during the war—he said—in 50 major U.S. cities and abroad, with a total of about 3,500 members. Houston has no club, he said, but he does have some interested Houston names on his mailing list. "We are a contact-oriented research society," Green said. One of our members have made actual solve these problems before we destroy ourselves." Green said he is trying to do his humble best to help them spread that message. "The solutions they have given," he said, "deal primarily with resolving the motives for wars, expansionism and poverty. They hope to eliminate the have-not nations...through superior technology, and an advanced economic system they call Universal Economics. The economic part of it is what I personally am trying to triumph." physical contact with crews of these craft." Green said he has sighted 85 to 100 spacecraft around Los Angeles over the years and has met "half a dozen or so members of the crew." BUT GREEN BELITTLED his own experiences. "They're so insignificant it's hardly worth talking about them" he said. "Our members have actually been taken for rides in spacecraft." "I certainly wouldn't turn down a ride if it were offered me. But they've never asked me." Green said he met the Martian by appointment at a friend's home, and he walked just like anybody you'd meet on the street. He was casually dressed, and wore a shimmy shirt with sleeves, shimm'ry, metallic-looking shirt which had no metal stop bullets. All in all, a handsome chap, Green said. "I felt his hair and it was quite coarse and worn in a V-shape downward the center of the forehead." And "But I rather doubt all Martians wear their hair alike, any more than we do." "HE SAID THE MARTIAN came [Cartoon: "Parking between my ball and the green—I'd hardly call THAT intelligent life from another planet."] GABRIEL GREEN Head Saucer like Uncle Martin on 'My Favorite Martian.'" Green said he had never seen one of the earthlings beside his space ship. Then how could he be sure they were Martians and not just earthlings just putting him on? "Oh, I wouldn't believe just anyone who walked up to me and said he was from Mars," Green said. "I don't know what their latest decision has been." "But if you got a call from the White House and were told 'Professor Einstein would meet you at a certain time on the corner of Hollywood and Vine, and you went there, and a man there who looked like the President called you by name, wouldn't you believe he was Eisenhower?" Green said he walked with the Martian fifteen floors high, and I walked along with him for three or four seconds and turned and looked back and he was gone. There was no logical place for him to go from that balcony. "They say they want nothing from us but our friendship," he said. "They showed no signs of hostility. R appeared to be a violation of their code of life. They looked as if they were sworn." Apparently they do have lapses, he said.

World Flying Saucer Believers Convene New York Times Service LOS ANGELES, Calif. — The "urgent" problem of improving communications with the thousands of visitors from outer space who were afforded solemn deliberation here this weekend at a special convention of flying saucer buffs. Among the nearly 300 delegates was a self-professed "intergalactic traveler" named Standing Horse, an Englishwoman who regularly communicates on her conversations with space travelers, a man who offered to book "sympathy" contacts with space travelers, and a presidential candidate campaigning on the flying saucer ticket. THE SPACE buffs, who assembled in a cavernous establishment called the Blarney Castle, were impressed with Thursday's Soviet moon landing, but they were awed by what they reported to be a sharp increase in flying saucer reports. One delegate, Marianne Francis, warned that the sightings could mark the beginning of the "momentous changes" for the earth's population. But the convention chairman, Dr. Frank E. Stranges, said the "interplanetary visitors" would turn out to be "evolved people, whose mission is to help mankind." The delegates were generally well groomed, articulate men and women who could have blended into any PTA meeting — they were heads of organizations whose members spotted and photographed "unidentified and flying objects" and claimed to maintain telepathic communication with space travelers. NEARLY ALL agreed that what they call the "flying saucer movement" was undergoing sharp expansion. Two delegates said they were negotiating to purchase radio stations to help transmit their doctrines. Several flying saucer magazines and hundreds of books were on sale at the convention. "These people are contactee-oriented," explained Gabriel Green, a serious young man who is the president of the Amalgamated Flying Saucer Clubs of America and who runs the group's Flying Saucer International magazine from his own home at 2004 N. Hoover St., Los Angeles. "We are not spacemen, but we are contactee-oriented." "They accept spacecraft as a fact of life. Their interest is in contacting space beings, directly or through telepathy." Green, who regularly runs for president as a "space age candidate," says he cannot practice telepathy himself but he has met spacemen on at least six occasions. One of the taller of his visitors, he said, was four feet tall and came from the Alpha Centauri solar system. A muscular, even-featured young man named Wesley Bateman said he had never had "direct" training with them but was in "constant communication" with them through "telepathy" and offered a program of instruction to other delegates who sought similar contacts. His blonde wife, Jonell, attired in black leotards, was kept busy signing up "students." "There is no mystery as to whether the space men are watching us—some have already infiltrated our society," said Bateman. "The mystery is why so many are coming. What's going to happen?"

Two patrolling police officers reported seeing the flaming "saucer," about 30 feet in diameter, landed on a main highway near Pretoria. One of them, Koos de Klerk, said that the shiny copper-colored object resembled a giant spinning top. The two men claimed that, as they approached the object, it took off silently at great speed with flames shooting out of its underside. Scientists who examined the spot where the officers said that they saw the object are reported to have found that a six-foot wide section of the tarred road had been badly burned. Grass on either side of the highway also was reported slightly scorched. (Associated Press) BROTHER JUNIPER By FR.
