AURORA, WISE COUNTY, April 17th, 1897 (Note the date

IS 1897) a happening occurred in tbe small, Texas town which is still talked about in "old tim­er'' reunions.

It was 6 o'clock in the morning when early ... isers were astonish­ed at the sudden appearance of "an airship" which had been re­ported "sailing throughout the country."

"It sailed directly over the public square. When it reached the north part of town, it collid­ed with the tower of Jud� Proe­tor's_,�indmill and went to pieces with - a terrific explosion, scat­tering debris over several acres of �und, wrecking the wind­mill and waber tank and de­stroying the Judge's flower gar­den."

"The pilot of the ship is sup­posed to have been the only one aboard. His remains were badly disfigured, but enongh of the original has been picked up to show he was not an inhabitant of this world.

"Mr. T. J. Weems, U.S. Signal Service at Aurora, and an auth­ority of· astronomy, gives it as his opinion that he - the pilot - was a native of the Planet Mars.

"Papers found - are written in some unknown hieroglyphics . . . This ship was too badly wrecked to form any conclusion as to its construction or motive power.

"The town is full of people to­day who are viewing the wreck and gathering specimens of strange metal from the debris. The pilot's funeral will take place at noon tomorrow," according to the Dallas Morning News of that date .

The newspaper was prinbed six years before the Wright Broth­ers made their h_istoric flight at Kitty Hawk.

ly LLOYD MALLAN A textbook used by the Air Force.. Academy to teach cadets warns

them that Unidentified Flying Objects (UFOs) could be real spacecraft operated by alien ,peoples who are closely watching tbe world.

"The most stimulating theory for us is that UFOs are mater.ial objects which are either 'manned' or remote-controlled by beings who are alien to this planet," states Volume II of "Introductory Space · Science." , _

"The _best thing to do is to keep an open and· ·skeptical- �nd - arid not take an extreme position on any side of the question,"· the pqysics textbook advi�e� future �r F4frce offic�rs. A. spoke�man for the Air Force Academy confrrtned that It was curFently bemg used as a textbook.

The ENQUIRER lear�ed of the textbOok - edited by Major Donald G. -carpenter- through UFO researcher Earl J. ·Neff. of- Cleveland, who obtained a copy of it after much effort. . .,

·

"Believe me, this book was not easy to acquire," Neff said. "I tried: for six months. This is a book that the Air Force just does not want to get_ out - because it is embarrass-. · ·

ing to them. It is contrary to what' they are telling the American people."

Air Force Headquarters itself - after more than 20 y�ars -has officially closed the books on its project to investigate UFOs, saying . that there has not been enough scientific evi-dence that ·the strange craft are either real or any threat to U.S. ·security.

But the Academy, in Colorado Springs, Colo., is telling its future of-

. ficers that certain dat� ''suggests the existence of at least three and maybe four different groups· of aliens {pos- ·

sibly at different stages of develop• ment)." . In a i4-page chapter devoted exclu­

sively to UFOs, the textbook warns that scientific studies of the UFO mys­tery have so far. b_een based· on man"s present limited knowledge of physics - and that what we know now may ·

not apply to UFOs . . "One thing that must be guarded

against in any such study is the tr-ap of implicitly assuming that our knowl­edge of physics ·(or any ottter branch of science) is complete'', the textbook says concluding: .

"We should not deny the possibility of alien control of · UFOs on the basis of preconceived notion·s. · .

"This leaves us with the unpleasant possibility of alien visitors to our planet, or at least of alien-controlled UFOs.'' .

The textbook also cites the case of Police Sergeant Lonnie Zamora . at Socorro, N. Mex., who was on patrol April 24, 1964, when he was startled by a loud roar that sounded like an explosion.

He drove his · patrol car up over the · side of a hill to investigate it.

He ''was forced to stop about l50 yards from a deep gully in which there appeared to be an overturned car. He radioed that he was investigating a possible wreck."

. Zamora walked to the edge of the gully t expecting to help the victims in the "wrecked car,�' the textbook con­tinues:· "He was amazed to see that it was not a car but instead was a weird egg-shaped object about 15' feet long, white · in color and ·resting on short metal legs.

"Beside it, unaware of his presence, were two humanoids (human-like creatures from other planets) dressed in· silvery coveralls. They seemed to be working on a portion of . the under­side of the object.

"Zamora was still standing there, surprised, when they suddenly noticed him and dove out of sight around the object." .

He was frightened and ran toward his car to escape. Before he entered the patrol car' he glanced back, the

textbook says. "A bright blue fla� shot down from the underside of t� object. Within seconds the egg-shapecJ: . thing rose out of the gully with an 'ea«;� splitting roar.' The object was o�t of sight over the nearby mountains al• -. most iii?-mediately . . . . .

·

"Zamora was moving in the oppo­site direction almost as fast when. he met Sergeant Sam Chavez, who wa�. responding to Zamora's earlier radl.Qt calls. ' "Together they investigated . : t� gully and found the bush�s ch�ed .. and still smoking where the blue ffafu.� .. had jetted down on' them.

.

"About· the charred area were four deep marks wher:e the metal legs ha<l;. been. Each mark was 3%-inches deep: and circular ;in shape.

1 ''The sand in the gully was very hard-packed, so no sign of the' human­oids' footprints could be found;

"An official investigation was launched that same day, and all data obtained supported the stories by Zamora and Chavez," the textbook reported.

The investigati�m was carried out by Project Blue Book, the official Air. Force UFO investigation organization.· - which has since been dropped at . the suggestion of Dr. Edward U. Con-. don at the University of Colorado� , who was paid $554,000 by the Air For�e. to study whether UFOs were real.

"It's a bunch· of damn nonsense!'� Dr. Condon told Air Force Headquat-. ters in the Pentagon.

·

But Lt. Colonel Hector Quinbmilla; Jr., who was then Chief of ·Project Blue Book and personally investigated the case, told The ENQUIRER:

"Zamora's UFO sighting was the best documented ,case of . the 13,000 UFO cases I studied while at Project Blue Book.'' 10

Couple Offers Descriptions ) UFO 'Seen for Week at Horseshoe Bend

HORSESHOE BEND The unidentified flying object reportedly sighted Sunday night by residents in Boise and Pocatello is nothing new to people in Horseshoe Bend .

They've been watching the UFO for almost a week.

Mrs. Joan Adams, Horse­shoe Bend, said residents of that area first saw the UFO a h ou t 7-7:15 p.m. last Wednesday night .

"We watched if for about an hour until it finally dis-

appeared," she said Monday. "It was very larg� and bright. There were flashing

-red, blue and clear lights, and we could definitely see the light rays . .

"It positively was not a helicopter or airplane, be­cause it held. the same posi­tion more than art hour."

Mrs. Adams said the UFO appeared again Thursday and Friday nights in approxi­mately the same position -· east or slightly southeast of

Saucers Are Coming� UFO Researcher Warns . '

By JEFF SIMON Jet airliners scooped out of

the sky "as easy as a hawk would a chicken"; a Brazilian town suffering a kidnapping epidemic with teen-age children mysteriously disappearing; and people vanishing in their own backyards while mowing the lawn.

All these events (and a bewildering barrage of others) could be the dire doings of ex­tra-terrestrial maleV'olence, ac­cording to a diminutive Eden woman who is the founder and director of the Allied Saucers Association.

In a Friday evening speech to Understanding Unit 37 in the International Institute, Mrs. Doris L. Fickelsher talked for two ·hours about her research into the realm of the "para­normal" and Unidentified Flying Objects.

* * * WHILE DISCOVERING suclt

tren.ds as "dogs and cats disappearing at a great rate" and such events as seven-year­old boys disappearing forever in the Great Smokey Moun­tains, Mrs. Fickelsher cam-e to some interesting con­clusions.

"So many of these things seem to take place on the 24th of the month and on Wed­nesdays," she said.

Horseshoe Bend - although viewing was hampered by fog.

On Saturday, she said, the UFO appeared in about the same position, "then went straight up into the sky until we couldn't see it, then came back down and got larger, then would disappear again.

"It had a continually flash-

12 13

ing light," she said. "About 12 people were watching it." Viewers also used surveyor's transits to watch the UFO. ·

Mrs. Adams said · her hus­band - watching through ·a transit Thursday night said the object appeared to be round, and had a definite

Before the meeting she talk­ed about the experience which sent her foraging through data and keeping her eyes on the heavens.

It was five years ago, •.•about 3 AM on a summer night. My two boys were sleeping on the front porch and I was gazing up at the sky."

* * * "I SAW this red light coming

in from the Thruway. It started low and came closer and at first I thought it was an airplane. -But it was huge, grayish in color, like two soup­bowls, together.

••1 flashed a flashlight on it and it disappeared without a

smell or sound. The blankets just flew off the children.''

From there she went into founding ASA and "39'' subse­quent UFO sightings.

The organization's motto is .. an informed public is a prepared public" explained by Mrs. Fickelsher.

Although admitting t h a t many who "beHeve in flying saucers" think they will bring a kind · of Second Coming of "starry salvation to a troubled world", Mrs. Fickel­sher said there has been great evidence that aliens are on earth to perform hostile acts of violence.

red light at the bottom, with blue, green and white lights flashing around its circum­ference.

Paul Kiepe, a Boise man interested in UFOs, planned to drive to Horseshoe Bend Monday night to join area residents in watching for the hoped-for reappearance of whatever-it-w�s.

"I'D LIKE to keep the religi· ous aspect out of this," · she said.

But before describing her own exp-erience with the other· worldly she declared:

.. I fear not God· nor man in stating the followi_ng ... Some will say I seek publicity but it's the last thing I want. . . . Listen and listen well and beware. My secrets have been a long time waiting to be revealed.''

Though the belief is not shared by all A.S.A. mem hers, she said the day will come when cigar-shaped, dome­shaped, bell-shaoed craft will hover over earth to launch a hostile invasion.

As the ASA motto says, "an informed public is a prepared public."

UFO Sighting in the Bronx, New York City

2/6/71

"After doing my week's laundry, I was pulling my shopping cart down 224th Street in the Northeast part of the Bronx. It was a cold, clear night, between 8:00 and 8:30 PM. As my son and I reached our home, my boy yelled out, �Look, a flying saucer, Mommie t '

"Before looking, I had a preconceived idea, but it was not what I'd thought. There it wast Red and yellow swirling colors with a black knob on top . A large spinning top in the sky about a block away.

This is the third NYC UFO sighting to come to our attention in four months. A classic UFO was seen over Central Park ( Manhattan ) during an outdoor concert in September ( from ANOMALY, John A.

REVIEWS OP NEW BOOKS --Michael Lindner

INVISIBLE RESIDENTS, by Ivan T. Sanderson ; World Pub­lishing Company, 1970; 248 pages, index,t7.50 .

Ivan T. Sanderson, zoologist and author of such Fortean works as UNINVITED VISITORS, 'THINGS,' and MORE 'THINGS,' has given us a book dealing with mysteries of the oceans and seas.

"Intelligent life has evolved on land,� states Sanderson, nBut could it have evolved beneath the ocean too. ? '' Before you laugh, better review some of the evidence this distinguished Fortean lays before you. Most UFO buffs believe that the daring discs are space­craft from another planet--what are the chances that at least some are built by the "oceanic intelligence" men­rioned before? A surprisingly large percentage of UAOs ( Sanderson's designation for what are usually called

UFOs in the literature ) are reported as entering or leavin� bodies of water. There are other reasons for thinki�g that we might not be alone on Earth: A very curious little trinket from South America that seems to be an artist's impression of some kind of "subaquaplane.'' Oddly enough, this little item was made

at least 1000 years agot The submerged "lightwheels" of the Indian Ocean, i.e. huge ribbons of light revolving and emanating from a "spoke." What, we wonder, causes these? Sanderson gives this enigma thought and comes up with some sur­prising possibil i ties. Certain singular occurances that have taken place tn the misnamed "Bermuda Triangle'' and other areas of odd disappearances. The peculiar behavior of "water babies," Sanderson's name for those UAOs that come or go from fresh water bodies.

In Part II of this work, Sanderson goes one step Jeyond most other authors and gives the results of much

painstaking research and map analysis by him and his associates. Some of the information, such as the ex­lstance of other "Bermuda Triangle" type areas through­out the world, has been published in his other books, but it acquires new significance here when considered in the li�ht of these other phenomena.

The author probes deeply into some possible physi­cal explanations of these various anomalies, and w1thir the frame work of his ori�in�l assumptions, he does a �ood job. However, Sanderson seems to be tn the habit

of making abstruse metaphysical and philosophical state­ments and prefacing them with �of course.� Frankly, I did not see all of conclusions lo�ically following thro­ugh, and some of his statements seem to be plain �rong. For example, he states at one points that polter�eists devote themselves, for the most part, to pointle�s, de­structive and stupid actions, forgetting that we have no knowledge of the poltergeist's motivations and goals. To use one of his own analo�ies, ants would think that men are being stupid and destructive when wrecking the �nts' nest to break ground for a new building. By the time the building is erected, the ants would all be dead, so they would never know that our actions were directed towards a constructive end.

The final part of the book is devoted towards some fascinating philosophical speculation on the nature of the postulated controlling force behind the anomalies. The OINTS .(Other Intelligences) might be millions of years ahead of us in evolution by dint of their aquatic nature (more time to develop), and might have abandoned thinking as we humans abandoned instinct when we devel­oped reason. A bit reminiscent of Shaver and Keel's ultraterrestrials, and all of it fascinating. If (when, I hope)vou read this one, I think you'll agree with me ******************************************************

THE SILVER BRIDGE, by Gray Barker, Saucerian Publishers 1970, 160 pages, $6.95.

'

Gray Barker will be familiar to our readers as the editor of SAUCER NEWS and the author of the classic work on MIB manifestations, THEY KNEW TOO MUCH ABOUT FLYING SAUCERS. In his new book, he concerns himself with the strange Ohio Valley/Point Pleasant manifesta­tions that broke out in the fall of 1966 with the appear­ance of a ten-foot birdlike creature called �Mothman." Mothman apparantly was "based" in an area of the aban­doned World War II ammunition dump outside the small town of Point Pleasant, West Virginia, and it displayed a curious penchant for persuing cars fleeing at speeds up to 100mph, terrorizing couples in Lover's Lanes, and �enerally instituting a reign of terror along the lonleycountry roads of the area.

Barker relates first-hand accounts of encounters with Mothman, the Men in Black (yes, they showed up, too), and the waves of UFO sightings that erupted con­currently with the creature's appearances.

The most significant thing about this book is, to my mind, not the information contained therein--as im­portant as it may prove to be--but Barker's style. He does not write in the usual manner of the UFO/Fortean author ("Mr. K saw a flying flattop on the corner of Ace and Spade Streets in Tin, Kansas on Friday, 12/4/�2 16

blah, blah, blah- . • • • ) , but deals with the subjective, personal effects of the UFO experience upon individuals. This ties in well with the "new ufology" as propounded by Jerome Clark, John Keel, Jac1ues Vallee, et al., but Barker displays none of the continuity shown by others who delve into the enigma. His writing is undeniably beautiful in spots, but this objective is of question­able importance when his dreamlike prose makes it d1f� ficult to separate the facts from overused poetic lic·­ense. The role of a UFO book, in my opinion, is to set the facts forward in a strai�htforward manner so we c�n hopefully make progress in unravling the mystery. If one wishes to indulge in the type of writing Barker pre­sents in THE S1LVER BRIDGE, he should turn to the boom­ing science fiction market. So says one half of me, but • • • . • • •

This is a frustrating book to review because the "literature-lovirtg" side of me wishes to praise Gray's abilities to use language and give his prose the wings of poetry, but. I can't honestly state that I think this book will add �ery much to our understanding of UFOs on an overtly object! ve level·• But Barker has, I believe, effectively reconstructive the nightmare atmosphere ordin9ry citizens find themselves floating in when they become involved in the UFO/harrassment fantasy world. Unfortunately, although the book is excellent is viewed from that perspective, it fails to offer clear delini­ations between the facts and not-always-obvious fiction episodes. Much of the book is reminiscent, from a stylistic point of view, of science-fiction/fantasy writer Ray Bradbury, or of some of the work of H.P. Lovecraft.

So what will you get from this book? Well, you'll enjoy reading it if you are any sort of s-f or fantasy buff, but if you are a fan of Major Keyhoe or Coral

·Lorenzen, better stay away because you won't like the very obvious psychic overtones of many of the events. And the price: unless you are a wealthy private collect­or, you will find seven bucks for 160 pages is a bit steep. Jim Moseley, in OUTERMOST, stated that the boo� will be published in paperback sometime this year, but with some portions deleted. Frankly, I think you'd be better off waitin� for the paperback and taking your chances on missing something significant than shelling

17 seve.n .'bucks for an entertaining, well-written non-cla­ssic. ***************•**************************************
