Reports of UFOsight-

T here is agrowing body
of opinionthat the A d-

suppressing e vidence
about UFOsightings for
fear of a world-wide
"Martian panic."
The director of the
National Investigations

Major Donald E. Keyhoc,
saidthis week:

"The Air Force reached
the same conclusion years

another so as not to scare
people . . ."
French - born scientist
Jacques Vallee. now work-
ing on the "Mars Map"
project for the National
Aeronautics and Space
Administration, has made
similar charges.
He claims many scien-
lists in America are no
longer working on the
problemaccordingto
basic scientific principles
but are allowing blind re-

SAUCER SIGHTING
There has been a lot of news
lately about flying saucers in
various parts of the world. I
don't knowwhether you will be-
lieve what I write, but my
father and I do not lie. It
happened a fewyears ago when
my father and several friends
were on a fishingtrip to Or-
bust, Victoria, on. Good Friday.
About 3 o'clock in the morning
Dad suddenly sighted a huge
rocket shape in a deserted field.
It was 100ft. high and 3Oft.
wide. There were lights all over
it, Dad at first thought it was
a refinery because there was
smoke pouring out of the top
of the object. On Monday, when
Dad went to the place again, the
object was gone. We do not
knowwhere it went.

SPACE BALL FOUND
BROKENHILL, Fri-

terious metal ball, simi-
lar tothetwospateob-
jects found north of
Broken Hill in 1963, has
been discovered on Bol-
lard's Lagoon station in
the extreme theast
of SouthAustralia.
Bollard's Lagoon is a
cattle run about 100
miles northof Boullia
where the first of the
spherical metal objects
was foundin April, 1963.
The secondball was
found50 miles away on
Mount Sturt station
several weeks later.
Bothwere identified
as coming fromaspace
vessel, but nocountry
claimedthem.
The thirdball was
foundabout four months
agoin an aridregion
of clay flats andsand-
hills.
Mr. 0, S. Cooling a
representative of Eider
Smith- Golds brough
Mort Ltd., brought the
latest ball to Broken
Hill today.
like the other two
metal balls, it is hollow
and identical to the
others except that it is
slightly smaller. It is
about 12 inches in dia-
meter. The others were
14 inches.

investigator Ben Davie
TULLY, Monday.
Space fever has
gripped this little
Queensland township
following discovery of
"three flying saucer
nests" in nearb)
marshy country.
Hundreds of people from
all over north Queensland
are pouring into the area to
inspect the "nests."
Along with the influx of vis-
itors have come wild rumours
about the origin of the nests and
the "spaceship" sighted by local
farmer George Pedley, 27.
In bars and at the breakfast
table people are talking of little
else.
Arguments are raging be-
tween alittle hard core of scep-
tics and the overwhelming num-
ber of "true believers."
RADIOACTIVITY
But the evidence ismounting that
something is going on, and local
authorities are taking the matter
seriously.
Only a fewpeople doubt Ped-
ley's wordthat he sawa strange

No one doubtsthe existence of the
three "nests," one of which was
found by Pedley and two by farmer
Torn Warren and schoolteacher
HankPenning.
Just about everyone in the town
hasbeen out to inspect them.
The R.A.A.F. has taken the re-
portsseriously enoughto ask for

CANBERRA, Wed-
nesday. Inthe

Our man-made saucers
have never got off the
ground.
This was revealedtoday
byAustralian patent
authorities whohave dealt
witheight applications for
patent rights for flying
saucers in the past 35
years,
Andas far as patent
authorities are concerned,
the man-made versions
have never risenfromthe
imaginationof their in-
ventors, or fromthe draw-
ingboards onwhichthey
were created.
"If the Martians have
landedat Tullyandno
one has, saidtheyhaven't
thenwe are runninga
verypoor secondtoour
inter-planetaryneighbors
in the saucer race,"a
patent office spokesman
said.
Cigarshape
"We have hadeight very
novel saucer-like vehicles
submittedtous for patent
approval,
Here is the dismal his-
toryof our efforts towin
aplace inthe flyingsaucer
space race as recordedby
Australianpatent authori-
ties.
In1931aMr. Charles
EdmundJohnson, of Hill
Street. Hobart, Tasmania,
submitteddrawings of a
large cigar-shapedobject
surmountedbyacircular
engine.
The principle of Mr.
Johnson's machine was
that air wouldbe drawn
intothe bottomof the en-
gine andthrust out
throughaseries of port-
holes in the circular roof.
One slightlyunnerving
feature of the aircraft was
Mr. Johnson's belief that
the space between the
cabinwalls andthe fuse-
lage shouldbe filledwith
some "light, buoyant gas
suchas hydrogen or
helium,"
Mr. Johnsonmakes no
reference to the highly
combustible properties of
hydrogengas.
Jap. idea
Onlytwo years later,
twoJapanese engineers,
Kosuke ImajoandNobu-
hisaNish!. sought exclu-
sive rights toconstruct in
Australiaasaucer that
was poweredbyhelicopter
blades encasedinthe roof
of the fuselage.
The applicationis firmly
stamped:"Application
lapsed"whichprobably
means that practical tests
provedthat this space
vehicle was not as feasible
as It lookedonpaper.
The next recordof a
patent applicationfor fly-
ingsaucers came fromthe
Goodyear Aircraft Corpo-
ration, Delaware, USA, in
1954.
The enthusiastic appli-
cant proclaimed"The
general object of this in-
ventionis toprovide an
aircraft capable of high
speedhorizontal, vertical
andhoveringflight char-
acteristics."
Nothinghas ever been
heardof the vehicle_
Michel Wibault pre-
sentedhis flying saucer

orities in1956.
He calledhis invention
agyropter.
His spacecraft included
ajet reactor whichsup-
posedlytookair and
forcedit throughvents
givingthrust andstability

claimedhadall the quali-
ties of an aircraft anda

But patent authoritiem
regardthe applicationof
Mr. Lyall Randolph, of no
knownaddress, as then
most prizedversionof the
flyingsaucer.
Mr. Randolphcalledhis
vehicle acircular rotatable

"The probable explana-

thawhad released trapped
gases resulting from the
decomposition or organic
matter.
"It would seem to me
that the association of the
sightings with swamps in
these particular cases is
more than coincidence," he
said.
-Nogroup of witnesses
observed any craft coming

'Moon trails'
Dr. Hynek said he WEL.,
not offering a blanket ex-
planation for all unidenti-
fied flying objects sighted
in the last two decades in
the U.S. and abroad.
Newspaper photographs
published yesterday
showing two streaks of
light in the sky were
"without question" trails
made as a result of a
time exposure of the ris-
ing moon and the planet
Venus, he said.
Dr. Hynek said the pic-
tures were taken on March
17near Milan (Michigan:
and were not related to
reports of unidentified fly-
ing objects at Hillsdale
(Michigan) four days later.
The investigator, astro-
physicist Dr. J. Allen
ilynek, said he believed
escaping swamp gases had
caused glowing lights
which resulted in the re-
port&
"I cannot prove in a
court of lawthat this is the
full explanation of these
sightings," he said.
"It appears very likely,
however, that the combi-
nation of the conditions of
this particular winter--an
unusually mild one in this
areaand the particular
weather conditions . .
were such as to have pro-
duced this unusual and
puzzling display."
Dr. Hynek noted that
most. of the mysterious
objects had been sighted
near swamps.
"Adismal eilwamp is a
most unlikely place for a
visit from outer space .
it is not a place where a
helicopter would hover for
several hours or where a
soundless .secret device
would be likely to be
tested," he said.
The flying objects had
been described by witnesses
as having glowing lights
red, green, or yellowand
appearing to move side-
ways.
Dr. Hynek said such a
sight. was extremely un-
common.

H anlonsweeps thesky outsidehis
suburbanwindow witha pairof high-powered
binoculars.
Banton never gives up
hope that, one of these nights,
he'll catch sight of a genuine,
photographable flying saucer.
In fact. he andhis wife
Murphy believe so firmly
there's something up there
that, this week, they became
members of Australia's Flying
Saucer Research Society_
This is the organisation
dedicatedto sorting the in-
terplanetary wheat from the
terrestrial chaff (or, to put it
more simply, the UFOs from
the weather-balloons).
This week, the society's
president. solicitor Mr Peter
Norris_ toldme: "It's a
tremendous boost to us to
have gainedMr andMrs
Hanlon as members.
"I hope they'll findtime to
come alone to our meetings.
In the eight years the society
has been operating. we're col-
lectedmasses of data I'm
sure they'll findfascinating."
Tommy when I spoke to
him at his Melbourne home,
said:
"I believe. andso does
Murphy. that there's defi-
nitely something in this
thing saucer business_
"We've never seen one our-
selves. but we hope to one
day. It's cheering that there
are people with the intellec-
tual courage andcuriosity to
investigate the subject. and
nowwe're members of the
society. we'll help in any way
we can."
Hanlon, a science fiction
fan, saidhe'dbeen reading
"everything he coulddig up"
an flying saucers for the past
18 years.
"It can't be denied that 95
per cent of sightings are re-
portedby nuts, publicity
seekers or people who are
easily swayed."saidTommy.
Planes buzzed
"But no one I've ever met
has been able to explain away
that hard-core five per cent
of sightings reports by ex-
periencedpilots, andradar
operators who've seen objects
travelling across their screens
at a pace which shows they're
doing 18.000 mph.
"There are Air Force pilots,
too. whose planes have ac-
tually been bouncedabout in
the air by saucer-shaped
craft.
"You can't write of the
testimony of responsible
men. If , yon de, you're
hiding your headin the
sand."
Hanlon saidhe hadno per-
sonal theory about what
saucers were.
"I'm open-mindedabout
it,"he said. "It's most un-
likely that we're the only in-
habitedplanet among billions
throughout the universe.
Maybe we're being studied
by beings who evolveda few
thousandyears earlier than
we did.
"Alternatively. the saucers
couldbe top-secret aircraft
from Russia or the United
States. But this seems less
probable. I'm sure the truth
wouldhave leakedout by
now..'
A ll-night vigil
Next spring, Melbourne's
UFOinvestigators hope to
persuade Tommy andMurphy
Hanlon to accompany them
to the summit of Mt. Dande-
nong for an all-night saucer-
spotting vigil,
The society, a purely in-
vestigative organis a iio n
with no fixedtheories about
UFOs, regards the Han-
Ions' application for mem-
bership as an important
breakthrough.
With public figures like the
Hanlons on its books, the
society feels, the mass of the
public will be less likely to
write Off saucer investigation
as "ratbaggery".
Hanlon himself has strong
views on the widespread
"mental ostrich"approach to
UFOs.
"There are too many people
aroundwho are terrifiedof
the unknown, andwho pro-
tect themselves against think-
ing about it by scoffing at
anything unusual,"he said.
"I believe there's a lot we
don't even knowabout the
powers of our own minds
let alone what's going on out
in space.
"Andthe US government is
beginning to feel the same
way.
"I hada letter last week
from a friendin Hollywood
who tells me the govern-
ment has set up a big,
complete research pro-
gramme devotedto the
study of ESP (extra-sen-
sory perception).
"They hope eventually to
develop techniques by which
astronauts andother per-
sonnel can communicate
mentally without radio.
"The implications of this
research are tremendous, be-
cause they're not just stop-
ping at telepathy.
"This programme will run
the whole gamut of ESP. in-
cluding the psycho-kinesis
which Dr Rhine experimented
with at Duke University.
"Rhine demonstratedthat
in a mathematically sig-
nificant number of eases
the human mindcouldin-
fluence the fall of dice.
"If the government of the
United States is ready to
spendmoney on trying to
harness power like that, I
don't feel anyone shouldbe
too sceptical; not before
they've studiedthe full facts
of any case."
The Hanlons themselves
have hadseveral experiences
of telepathy andESP.

Kong several years ago.

"Creature " Doctors


examine couple
NEW YORK, Sat: A New Hampshire man and wife were taken
aboard a flying saucer and given a physical examination by a group
of humanoid creatures.
As a result of the ex-
perience, they suffered
a trauma and partial
amnesia. Arespected
Boston doctor put them
under analysis and, in
separate hypnotic ses-
sions, they related their
experiences.
The man is a promin-
ent le ader in the
NAACP (a conservative
Negro Civil Rights
organisation) and the
woman a social worker.
Their names were with-
held.
The story of their ex-
perience forms part of
a book soon to be pub-
lished by Dial Press and
serialised in Look
magazine.
Its author is John G.
Fuller, a columnist for
the Saturday Review,
4
playwright, freelance
writer, and television
documentary producer.
Fuller says that the
couple do not cons-
ciously claimto have
undergone the experi-
ence, but their doctor
makes the claimon
their behalf.
HYPNOSIS
They talked of it Only
under hynosis, the
"fantasy" apparently
beingunacceptable to
their conscious minds.
Tape recordings of the
sessions were made
available to experts.
The book will be Ful-
ler's second on the sub-
ject. His first, Incident
at Exeter (Putnam's),
relates how he himself
changed fromsceptic to
believer after interview-
ingseveral residents of
Exeter (New Hamp-
shire) who claimed
UFO sightings in the
early morninghours of
September 3, 1965,
Fuller says he himself
saw a UFO a bright
orange disc being
chased to no avail by
an Air Force jet.
"My assumption,"he:
says, "is that the Air
Force knows all about,
the subject. The differ-:
ence between what the
Air Force says officially
and what, the pilots te 14

frightening,"
Fuller says one Naval:
authority clocked a,

more than 3000knots,
in the atmosphere. ;

These are only some of
the remarkably sanely
argued likelihoods in The
FlyingSaucer Story by the
Honorable Brinsley Le Poer
Trench, published in Lon-
don this week (Neville
Spearman. 25/-).
Mr. Le Poer Trench is
no science fiction maniac
with an eye to sensational
disclosures. He is adver-
tisingmanager of a suc-
cessful and very down-to-
earth gardeningmagazine.
Perhaps the most in-
terestingtheory, however,
is that tine world has been
livingwith visitors from
the other planets of this
galaxy for thousands of
years without recognising
them.
"All over the world,"
writes Le Poer Trench,
"there are the same stories
handed down fromancient
times of people who camel
fromthe skies.
"Ancient Egypt. India.
3 r.
Japan, China, Scandinavia,
Ireland, the Americas, and
Others tell of the days
Wgien 'gods' trod this earth
of ours. Since time
immemorial we have not
been alone."
Finally, LePoer Trench
accuses the American Cen-
tral Intelligence Agency
and a secret group called
the "54/12 Group"of com-
biningwith their opposite
numbers in Russia to
censor off verifiable news
of saucer landings.
Perhaps the book's most
startlingreport is one re-
printed fromthe Italian
journal Clypeus, which
claimed that three flying
saucers were forced into
a catastrophic landing
over Montana, U.S.A., by
U.S, military planes.

Flying saucers
from earth
LONDON, Friday. A new theory
explaining flying saucer sightings has
been put forward by a US scientist.
The scientist, Mr. Philip
Klass, says the brilliantly
coloredobjects some
people think are fromout
of this worldare nothing
of the sort.
They are fromearth, he
says.
Andif they dogot have
a down-to-earth. origin it
is one that is only a few
feet off the ground.
Mr. Klass says flying
saucer sightings are caused
by a special formof ball
lightning producedon
high-tension power lines
under certain transmission
andatmospheric con-
ditions.
The theory goes a long
way towards explaining
why there have been so
many sightings on both
sides of the Atlantic.
New- power lines have
been sprouting like mush-
rooms in remote places.
Mr. Klass says when
high-tension lines are
overloaded, or when cer-
tain atmospheric pollutants
andmeteorological condi-
tions combine, conditions
are ripe for the production
of ball - lightning dis-
charges.
Mr. Klass has Photo-
Tee nhS tosupport his
theory.
One picture shows a
whole covey of "saucers"
along a transmission line.
At the time the picture
was taken there was a 20
per cent overloadon the
500,000 volt line, at Pitts-
burgh, Pa.
Another picture shows a
classic flyingsaucer hover-
ingjust above a power line.
This was taken during
the height of a famous
"saucer sighting" episode.

Ever since his article ap-
pearedin print, his telephone
has not stoppedringing.
Only a fewof those who
calledor wrote to him ap-
preciatedhis attempt to ex-
plain the UFO mystery
rationally.
But the majority, Mr
Klass said, evidently refer-
ring to inveterate UFO buffs.
"actedas thoughI hadshot

country's flag."
He is the last person to
insist that his theory is fool-

E mystery of
those baffling
UFOs, other wise
known as flying sau-
cers, may not be a
mystery muchlonger.
They may turn out to
be neither flying objects
nor saucer-shaped.
Andall those UFO huffs
hadbetter start shedding the
romantic notion that eerie-
looking Martians are watch-
ing us throughextra-terres-
trial spacecratt close to
earth.
So says a U.S. expert in
electronics who has come
up withwhat he believes is
a scientific explanation for
the UFOs.
The mysterious sightings
that have scared. awedor
terrifiedscores of people. he
says in effect, are not crea-
tures from other planets, but
a freak natural phenomenon
from our own.

This theory holds that the
so-calledflying saucer or disc
is nothing more than a
special form of "ball light-

when there have been grow-
ing numbers of very high-
voltage power-lines.
Mr Klass was first drawn
to the subject when he came
across the recent book "In-
cident At Exeter." by John
G. Fuller.
The book-is a compilation
of interviews with60 people
who saidthey sawone or
more UFOs outside the little
town of Exeter. in New
Hampshire, in September of
last year.
According tothese
accounts. Exeter hadbeen
visitedby some sort of
brightly lit phenomenon that
divedandswoopedfrighten-
ingly before soaring off into
the sky.
Time after time, in the
conversations the author re-
cordedon tape, the witnesses
mentionedthe proximity of
electric power lines to the
places where the sightings
occurred.
This last fact is what
arousedMr Klass' curiosity.
Speculation in Mr Fuller's
book hadit that these "space-
craft" might be attractedto
the power lines as a source
of energy for refuelling their
propulsion systems.
Nonsense
ientitic nonsense. say,
Klass. Abetter explanie
lies in his "electric cor-
" theory. When this first'

power line until cooledand
extinguishedby external
forces,"

clean andsuitably designed.
corona does not norwalk
occur.
"But if small particles of
dust or salt crystals. for
example, become affixedto
the line or insulators. they
can trigger the corona."
Andpower lines near the
ocean often drawsalt crys-
tals front the air.
Ball lightning, as its name
suggests, is a form of fiery
gas hall that appears during
or just after thunderstorms.
The ball is believedto orig-
inate as a blobof air that
punctures the atmosphere
aroundit.
This blobof air is electri-
fiedby the passage of a
lightning holt. As a result
it glows andspins or moves
erratically before it collapses
anddisappears throughloss
of the electric impulses
whichoriginatedit.
This phenomenon until re-
cently attractedlittle scien-
tific attention, having been
treatedby many as an "old
wives' tule," says Mr Klass.
But of late it has come under
scientific scrutiny in Russia
Its well as in the United
States.
One scientist here didnot
reject the theory outright. "I
wouldn't reject this possibil-
ity," he says, "because a con-

ventional smoke-ring is an
interesting example of a
plasma heldtogether under
the proper conditions by a
combination of internal and
external forces whichare
difficult to explain ecientifi-
cane."
One major problem in
proving this theory beyond
doubt. the author of the
article says, is that power
line corona is difficult to
duplicate realistically for
study under controlledcon-
ditions.
But it is a known fact that
hall lightning can originate
randomly in space andmost
often near power lines. even
inside an aircraft during
flight.
Mr Klan emphasises the
markedresemblance between.
many of the Exeter sightings
andreportedobservations of
belj lightning in colossiE.
, sound. dynamics and
Ball lightning is multi-
coloured, but redis most
predominant, followedby
intense bluish-white and
green. Many of the sight-
ings in Exeter reportedthe
same colours.
Its shape, either spherical
or witha smoke-ring con-
figuration also tallies withthe
UFOs.
Bothgive out a sizzling or
hissing sound, andbothhang
motionless at times while
moving up. down andhori-
zontally at very highspeeds.
Andthe two are saidto
have a lifetime ranging from
several seconds to many
minutes.
Mr Klass says that for all
the scientific complexity of
the phenomenon, a gadget
costing SI can help the
amateur determine if UFOs
are balls of ionisedair as his
newtheory suggests.
This is a "transmission
grating," roughly the size of
at 35mm colour slide and
small enoughto fit into a
man's wallet. If the object
whe n viewedthroughthe
grating shosss an intense red
line rather than a full colour
spectrum. it is a plasma. The
gadget was inventedin a
home workshop by two
scientists in Pittsburgh. Penn-
sylvalVa.

a big hamburger-lik

Michigan lake did not
"indicate anobvious
hoax," an expert on un-
identified flying objects
saidyesterday.
The
photos were taken
on January 9by two
teenage brothers from
the backyard of their
home.
The brothers, Daniel
laroslaw, 17, andGrant,
15, said "the thing,"
about the size of a heli-
copter. hovered above
the lake for 10 minutes.
It left

HEbarber, Ralph DU-
ter, 40, Is an amateur
astronomer.
Two of the three pic-
tures he says he took on
the afternoon of Novem-
ber 13are sharp and
show a disc-like object
hovering above a one-
storey frame house.
Ditter displayed the
pictures in the shop
where he works, but he
said he was afraid of the
effects of wider publicity.
The pictures were no
more than a local talk-
ing-point until a Zanes-
ville physician, Dr. Ben-
jamin Gilliotte, reported
them to the National In-
vestigating Committee for
Aerial
(NICAP).
The two small prints
show an object that looks
like a covered plate.
In one picture it is jus
above the house but in
the other it is further
away.
"It was a nice Sunday
afternoon, so I decided to
go and take pictures of
some furniture my bro-
ther-in-law had built in
his house about three
blocks away," Ditter re-
called today.
"I was carrying my
Polaroid camera. At the
end of the driveway I
stopped and turned
around and saw it.
"It was directly over
my house, about 47ft. in
the air, moving about 10
or 15miles per hour
and rotating counter-
clockwise.
"I took three pictures
of it (one of them, taken
with a filter, was under-
exposed) and, as I
watched, it drifted off a
little bit soufth-west and
disappeared over a hill."

GIANT "VACUUM CLEANERS" IN THE SKY
Scores report new
A ustralkot Associated Preyi
CH/CAGO, Thursday. "Giant
vacuum cleaners" were reported
roaring over Kansas and Illinois early
today.
The unidentified flying objects, said to
he about 35 feet across, flashing white, red
and amber lights. were reported by scores
of people, including policemen.
A policeman in Goodland, Kansas, reported
seeing such an object+ brilliantly white on the front,
roaring like a huge vacuum cleaner.
The editor of the Goodland "Daily
News," Mr Tom Dreiling, said in his four
'.ears with the Air Force he never heard pro-
pellers, jets or anything else sound like that
Other sightings were in Rawlins, Cheyenne,
Wallace, Thomas and Sherman Counties in Kansas,
and in Henry and Knox Counties in Illinois.
HOUR-LONG STUDY
A Knox County deputy sheriff, Frank Cour-
son, said the object he watched was "very dis-
tinguishable."
Mr Courson said he watched the object, which
he said was joined by a second, for more than
a n hour.
During that time he took notes and made a
sketch of the object.
"1t was bluish white and pulsating red," he
added.
It had a rim that looked like it was
about five feet thick at the bottom of what
looked like an upside-down bowl."
"Taking into consideration the altitude and
distance, it seemed to be about 35 feet in diameter.
Mr Courson said he and some others watched
the objects through binoculars for more than half
an hour as they danced about over two radio
transmitting towers.
Mr Courson said at one point he saw a plane
fly by
PLANE CHECK
The time he said the plane passed was con-
firmed by radar operators in Chicago who scan
the area with remote-controlled equipment.
The radar men said ti- ey saw nothing
else on their screen, but Mr Courson said the
objects were too low to be spotted by radar.
He said the object emitted a hissing sound
and at one point he saw it release "a white beam
of light that hit the ground with a kind of flash "
Numerous residents of the area called radio
stations and reported they had seen similar objects.

EOPLE fromPalem-

think they may haveseen
a"flyingcoconut"from
outer space.
A sparkling blackobject
circledrapidlyovert he

onJuly11, puffingout a

Thereports added the
unidentified object was

Tully, Queensland, was believed lc)
by a flying saucer.
The scientist is Professor
James McDonald. senior
physicist of the Institute of
Atmospheric Physics, and
Professor inthe Department
of Meteorologyat the Uni-
versityofArizona.
He has beeninAustra-
liafor afortnight to in-
vestigate sightings ofuni-
dentifiedflyingobjects.
His inquiries have taken
himtoSydney. Me!hotline
andHobart.
To.lae he will flytoBris-
bane andreturntothe U.S.
tomorrow.
Professor McDonaldsaid
that scientific proof of fly-
ingsaucers andacceptance
of their existence hadbeen
delayedbyadeliberate "de-
bunkingprogiam" mounted
by many worldGovern-
ments andbackedby the
U.S. Central Intelligence
Agency.
InAustraliaProtessor
!McDonaldhas made tape
recordings oftheexperiences
of 70people who claimto
have seenflyingsaucers.
Some of the reports he
believedauthentic were:
Aflying saucer that
followedacar at upto115
m.p.h. speeds until the car
altnost crashed.
Another saucer that
gave some Gippslandpeople
a"hair-raising" experience
whenit swept inat themat

the lights of amotor car to

He was impressedbyre-
ports last year of flying
saucer "nests" at Tully in
North Queensland. "These
sighting.; appear tobe auth-
entic." he said.
Professor McDonaldsaid
he believedabout 90per
cent of the reports were
authentic.
He hadsome doubt about
reports of flying saucers
withcrews.
"There have beensome
verystrongreports ofthis."
he said. "But the level and
number of those reports
have not beenas impressive
as the ordinary U.F.O.
sightings. andthere must
remain an element of
doubt."

yesterday after he hadad-
dressedapackedmeetingof
the SydneyU.F.O. Investi.
gallonCentre at Strathtield
Two people inthe audi-
ence toldhimof sighting
saucers.
Some speculatedabotV
space dwellers behindthe
visits of saucers.
Professor McDonalddis-
courage(' this type of
speculation. "People who
speak to little greenmen
whocome frombackofthe
moonhave done agreat
deal todiscredit flyingsane-
ere" he said.
"I have beenimpressed
by the reliability and
level-headedeess oflitany
of Australianwitnesses 1
have interviewed.
OF course there
are flying
saucers. They have
been visiting our world
for centuries.
There is ample evi-
dence of this inthe folk-
lore of the older coun-
tries, marred unfortu-
nately, by superstition
andignorance.
It is not really surpris-
ing they have not made
contact. After untold
years of observation, they
findus still behavinglike
savages, killing, burning
anddestroying, andquite
unready to live together
inamity.
These space travellers
are probablythousands a
years aheadof us intel-
lectually and technico-
logically. Why bother to
come here?
I pity any extra-terres-
trial beings who would
like toapproach our earth
with the friendly lifted.
All they canexpect is
the unfriendlybullet from

gun-happy predators of

To all disbelievers
in TalOs: It has
been observed by scientists
that in all the solar Sys-1
terns there are Ito million
planets which could sup-
port life as we know it.
It you add to this the
number of planets which
could support some differ-
ent type of life, the pos-
sibility Of UFOs becomes
very great."Galileo."

with you that aliens from
other planets will make
earthly contacts one day,

Most puzzling was the

that was to manifest itself inan
unprecedentedspateof sightings of
unidentifiedflyingobjects (UFOs)
andweirdbeings aroundthesmall
English townof Warminster, in
Wiltshire.
Warminster was grippedby a

whoseprobity must beun-

No town in the world has
registered so many reports of

But thefirst pheno-

shared, ineffect, by troops of the
1st Welch Regiment., basednear
Warminster.

At precisely thesametime, the

it was, hesaid, "As though 5000
tiles werebeingrattledabout the
roof andpluckedoff by some
tremendous force." andwhileall
this was goingon, hecouldhearan
oddhummingtone.
Although it appearedcertainthat
thetiles hadbeenroughly man-
handled, subsequent examination
revealedthat nonewas damaged.
Theroofingwas intact.
Dozens of people came forward
in 1965 to testify that their roof-
tops too, were set rocking and
rumbling by "force fields" dur-
ing the dark hours, and the hap-
penings persisted into June, 1965.
Mr Shuttlewood, whosere-
portorial job it was to examine the
reports, was movedto agreat deal
of meditationandcritical analysis;
"Reporters areahard-boiledcyni-
cal clan, abreedof theirownand
not easy to convince,"hesays.
So, evenafter the"audible"
phenomenahadbeensucceededby
agreat numberof reportedsight-

hewas preparedto jointhe smal l
bandof local folkwho werecon-
vincedthat the"Things"werenot
flyingfantasies, andthat thepeople
they brought were"as real as us
. definitely humanoid."
Thefirst recordedcaseof a
personactually seeingthe
"Thing" dates backto May 19,
1965.
Mrs HildaHebdidge, 63, reported
that onthreeseparateoccasions in
oneweekshehadseenunusual ob-
jects inthe sky. They werede-
scribedas "cigar-shaped, covered
with bright lights which winked
andblinked."
Nowreports of sightings were
frequent andthey all tallied,
with minor exceptions. Many
groups of peopletestifiedto hav-
ingseenthe"Thing," andthe
puzzlewas increasing.
By this time, thepages of the
Warminster Journal werefilled
with readers' letters about the
phenomena, and"all manner of
views wereexpressedas to possible

I am a member, submitted
a massive report on the
matter early in 1964, listing
irrefutable evidence, and a
copy of that report is now
in the hands of every single
member of the U.S. Con-
gress.
"The existence of such a
report has been almost en-
tirely ignored by the
British Press. It is not de-
sired that you shall know
these facts.
"You are being well and
truly brainwashed by power-
ful vested interests for
whom the situation now de-
veloping is very embarrass-
ing indeed."
Mr Shuttlewood quotes
many eminent people who
accept the reality of the
saucers, among them men
of high international
standing.
I was particularly held by
the stories quoted by Mr
Shuttlewood of "people,"
ostensibly from the UFOs,
who had been seen by
various citizens.
Mrs Annabelle Plowman,
a confidential clerk for the
War Command, driving with
her husband, John, chair-
man of the Warminster
and Westbury branch of the
National Union of Agricul-
tural Workers, came to an
accident-prone part of the
highway to Salisbury from
Warminster.
She had to swerve the
car violently to avoid a
figure sprawling over the
highway -- a drunken
soldier. John thought.
However, he was not satis-
fied that the car had missed
the man, as he had felt
distinct bumps when they
passed near the "body."
So Annabelle halted the
car, and they went back to
investigate. There was no
trace of the figure, and no
bloodstain.
Further shocks were com-
ing. Mrs Plowman, now
alone In the car, was driv-
ing along when a large
orange ball appeared.
"I had the impression
that the car was being
pushed backwards," she
said.
Later, still, a vehicle of
circular shape spun on to
the road before her, emit-
ting red and blue sparks be-
fore rising into the night
sky. Then something even
stranger happened:
"Straight in front of me
two people appeared. I al-
most bowled them over. I
probably brushed against
one, they were so close.
"To begin with, I thought
they might be two soldiers
on a night 'scheme'.
"They wore dark woollen
balaclavas on their heads.
These clung tight and
showed only a small part of
their features . .
"I could see only their
noses, in fact, and the
merest suspicion of eyes,
wide-spaced and deep-
sunk.
"They were not wearing
army uniforms. Their
clothes were of darkish
material, either black or
grey, and skin-tight, From
the thighs down the
material glistened, as
though wet . ."
She believed the men

came from the circular
vehicle which had taken off
but she did not wait to
investigate.
Mr Shuttlewood h a d,
himself, .made 91 sightings
when his book went to the
printers but many ob-
servers had made far more.
The "observation team"
established at Warminster
had seen 972 UFOs to the
end of 1966, had taken many
good photographs some
produced in this book
and had compiled a list of
more than 1000 witnesses, a
list swollen by visitors from
many countries.

A team of top American specially-selected

"Just the other day fromdown
in Georgia we had an urgent call
about an unidentified flying object
(UFO).
"Turns out that two police officer,
were chasing the planet Venus all over
the countryside."
For more than a year nowthe
veteran American physicist who
would rankamong the top 10 or
20 scientists in the U.S., has been
on the hunt for flying saucers.
The U.S. Air Force gave Professor
Condon half a million dollars, a etaff
of 10research fellows and graduate
students in physics and psychology,
and asked himfor a report in 15
months.
It is no secret that Dr Condon
will have great difficulty writing -
that report, and the result will

\elmneither prove nor disprove the
existence of ffyieg saucers.
The air is clean and crisp and you
can see for miles and miles.
Fewbright lights and little roaring
traffic are here to frighten away the
UFOs.
The stillness of the place, the
wonderful cloud patterns, the close
ness of the stars mill these help
make flying saucers stemquite
possible.
I visited Dr Condon with news of
the recent Queensland sightings, but
the physicist seemed too preoccupied
with the saucer reports in his own

lie recently received a letter
froma civilian employee of the
Air Force who said 3 1 spaceship
fromVenus would land at a certain
location at the Utah salt Hats at a
certain time so that the Venosians
could talkwith earth people.
"Of course it's crazy, but you have
to try everything,"he said.
"We got the co-operation of
Utah State Governor and one of
men was taken to this spot on
salt flats by local police.
"Our man sat around all day, but
nothing happened.
"1called the Air Force employee
and said the rendezvous was a flop
and this guy was genuinely puzzled
that the Venus people had not shown
up."
Once Condon ever, wrote to
Ncandal magazine for the address
of a girl whe was claimed to have
had an affair with live men from
flying saucer.
Undaunted, Professor Condon
keeps approaching every newreport
with a fresh mind.
He is familiar with the history of
Australian sightings because he was
personally briefed by Dr James E.
McDonald, meteorology professor at
the University of Arizona.
Earlier this year, McDonald inter-
--VieWed saucerwftye* ArrtnIferAltses-
tralia and he returned to tell
a United Nations space committee
that it must nowtake UFOs
seriously.
"I believe that very careful con-
sideration must be given to the hypo-
thesis that these unconventional
objects constitute some form of
extra-terrestrial probe,"McDonald
told the U.N.
Dr Condon enjoys the McDonald
enthusiasm, is amazed at the detail
with which he can recall the stories
of the Australian UFOs, but other-
wise thinks the hypothesis of the man
fromArizona is too wild.
"Even the old ignition story has
not worked with me,"he said with an
air of disappointment.
"You knowhowit gods. A motorist
is travelling a lonely road at night
and all of a sudden a oar's ignition
fails and the car stops.
"The motorist looks up and there
is a flying saucer. It has happened
a dozen times.

"We had a woman tell us about
her experience with the ignition
failure, but she added that her speedo
had also played up and not worked
properly since,
"Here was a chance fax a real
check.
"We got her car of the road and
into a garage as quickly as possible.
"Of course, there was nothing
wrong with the speedo at all."
Some months ago there were night-
ly reports of flying saucers over a
town called Harrisburg, in Pennsyl-
vania, and the local afternoon news-
paper had running stories about them.
Condon's men arrived in town and
widely publicised a telephone number
.at star
and night immediately anyone saw a
saucer.
They did not get one legitimate
telephone call and since then Harris-
burg skies have been completely
clear.
"You see,"said Dr Condon, "the
whole business is crazy.
"You'll have to workit out for
yourself."

knowmore about atmospheric
phenomena.
"At this point I try to keep to
open mind, but 1must say that I do
not believe these UFOs bring visitors

final word on UFOs a fewdays

opinion is noteworthy,
