Source text · mention only-• · ' TRUMAN BETHURUM FLYING ll SCS On June 7, 1954, Mr. Thomas Eickhoff, 3721 Tappan Avenue, Cincinnati 23, Ohio, Operator of Tom's Beauty Salon, Neave Building, Fourth and Race Streets, Cincinnati, Ohio, advised that although he belongs to no organization interested 1n f'lyi saucers or discs, he has been interested in this subject. He said on June 3, 1954 an ad appeared in 'The Cincinnati Enquirt11t"11 , a newspaper of general. circu lation in Cincinnati, Ohio, to the effect that on June 11, 1954 a program would be presented a he Ta!'t Audi tori um in Cincinnati, Ohio on 11 the r aJ. flying saucer story." Mr. Eickhoff advised that this advertise ment disclosed no sponsor for this program and it was only noted on the ad that tickets for the program sold for ~2.00 per person and would be on sale at the Central Ticket Off'ice in Cincinnati. Mr. Eickhoff continued tha t because of his interest in the subject of flying saucers, he desired to know the sponsor of the program and found out fro the Central Ticket Of'fice that the ad had been placed by Henr,....-tmday, 364 West Lewiston Avenue, Ferndale 20, Michigan. He said he telephonically contacted Maday on June 3, 1954 and found that Maday was only the agent having rented the Taft Auditorium and that he was acting on behalf of Truman Bethurum and George Hunt Williamson. He continued that on June 4, 1954 Maday cal.led him back an told him there had been a dis agreement between Maday, Bethurum and filliamson over Maday's arrangement for the sale of tickets of the program and the renting of the auditorium. Eickhoff advised that Maday at no time said anything to discredit either Bethurum or Williamson and indicated that their d.isagreement concerned only Maday's placin g the ad in "The Cincinnati Enquirer" prior to having tickets for the program available in Cincinnati . .orIE S DE TROY , 27 NOV 919 4 I .,.

Source text · mention only' ' Mr. Eickhoff further related that about ten minutes after he had talked to Maday on Friday, June 4, 1954, he received a call from George ffim.t__fillliamson and a Mr.,.....Manspeaker, who conf:l.rmed to him that Maday was no longer associated with them, and asked that Eickhoff meet with them at a luncheon at the Terrace Plaza Hotel, Cincinnati, Ohio on June 7, 1954. Mr. Eickhoff, in explanation of his interest in this matter, advised that he had read such books as "Flying Saucers From Outer Space ," written by Donald E. Kehoe, retired major, U.S. Marine Corps, which book was r,ublished by Harper's Publishers, and a book entitled 'Flying Saucers Have Landed," by George Adamski, which book is published by Werner-Lowery Company in England, and is distributed by the British Book Center in New York City . He said that he has also heard broadcasts by persons he considers reputable news commentators, such as Walter Winchell, Fulton Lewis, Jr., and Frank Edwards, to the effect that reliable persons have reported observing flying discs or saucers. He said contrary to these reports, the U.. Air Force has denied the existence of the flying saucer and he felt that persons such as Truman Bethurum and George Hunt Williamson, in presenting a program such as that contemplated, were either truthful or they were frauds. He stated that if they had a true story to tell, then he felt it was of such nature that it should be given as wide a distribution as possible, so that the people might learn the true facts regarding flying discs. He said, however, if their story was not true, then the hold ing of such a meeting as was contemplated would be a fraud on the general public. He estimated that such a meeting in Cincinnati might draw two thousand people , which, at $2.00 apiece, would result in a 4,000.00 take for the promoters. To i dentify Truman Bethurum, Mr. Eickhoff had with him two copies of the magazine "Valor, 11 'Which he stated he got from Bethurum, this magazine being self-identified as the 11 Golden Times Weekly," published by Soul Craft Chapels, Post Office Box 192, Noblesville , Indiana. The two issues which Mr. Eickhoff had with him were numbers 15 and 16 of volume 6 of the publication, the number 15 being - 2 -

Source text · mention only' ' dated February 6, 1954 and number 16 being dated February 13, 1954. The number 15 issue contained an article concerning Truman Bethurum, in which he is identified as a truck driver from Redondo Beach, Calif ornia, and it refers to an article dated December 31, 19.53, which appeared in the 11 Daily Breeze, 11 a newspaper at Redondo Beach, California, which allegedly contained a description of an encounter which Truman Bethurum had with a crew of assumed space explorers under the super vision of a ravishing woman commandant in the Nevada desert. The article also reflects that Trwnan Bethurum allegedly was aboard flying saucers on eleven occasions. At the bottom of the first page of issue number 15 there appeared in what Mr. Eickhoff stated was the handwriting of Truman Bebhurum the statement "This is a true story, a factual experience -- Truman Bethu.rum. 11 The above mentioned article in "Valor 11 also reflected that Truman Bethurum is 55 years of age and that his residence address is .519 North Gertruda Avenue, Redondo Beach, California. Mr. Eickhoff reiterated that he felt Bethurum. 1s story, if true, should be given wide publicity, but that if the story was false, then he should be prosecuted for fraud. He stated that he first took his information to the Air Force in the person of Lieutenant Colonel John 01 Mara of Wright-Patterson Air Force Base, Ohio, whom Eickhoff visited personally at 0 1Mara 1 s home in Fairborn, Ohio, on Sunday, June 6, 1954. Eickhoff indicated that he asked Colonel 0 1 Mara if there were such things as flying saucers and if Bethurum 1 s story could be true, and he said 0 1 Mara denied that there was such at hing as a flying saucer and indicated to him that Donald E. Kehoe, the author of "Flying Saucers in Outer Space' was a fraud and that information is available in Washington that Kehoe is a fraud. He said he was advised, however, by Colonel 0 1Mara that the Air Force could take no action with respect to Bethurum or Williamson. Eickhoff continued that it was his intention to aid in the promotion of a m eeting for Bethurum in Cincinnati. He advised that the original meeting schedule for June 11 - 3 -

He said he in tended to invite to the meeting all nationally prominent news commentators. He intended to try to get radio time to advertise the meeting but he did not wish to partici pate in this matter in any way if it would violate security regulations in any manner, or if Bethurum and his associates were in any way fraudulent. He stated that he so informed Bethurum, Williamson and Mr. Manspeaker at the luncheon meeting which was held at the Terrace Plaza Hotel on June 7, 1954. They informed him that they were not afraid of an investigation; that Bethu.rum 1 s story was factual, and that they had no objec tion to Eickhoff 1 s advising Government authorities regarding it. Mr. Eickhoff stated that his report to this office was part of his plan to inform all the Federal agencies he thought should know about the activities of Bethurum. He advised that in line with his contemplated plans that on the evening or June 7, 1954 there was to be another meeting at the home of L. H.-Stringfield, 7017 Britton Avenue, Cincinnati 27, Ohio, at which meeting there would be Mr. Stringfield, Williamson, Manspeaker, Bethurum., Ralp~immermann and Mr-. Eickho.ff. He said at this meeting they would plan a method of operation and make arrangements for this meeting of national significance . He said he intended to set the date of the meeting far enough in advance so that if any Governmental agency determined that there was fraud involved that agency would have sufficient time to act prior to the holding of the meeting. He advised he intended to keep a detailed record of all actions taken by this group, and that he would voluntarily furnish such in£ormation to the F.B.I. Eickhoff advised that he had not known and had not met either Bethurum, Williamson or Manspeaker prior to the events described above. He said that George Hunt Williamson identified himself as an archeologist and a writer for the magazine 'Valor," who resides in Noblesville, Indiana. - 4 -

He was asked as to what interest •tvalor magazine has in Bethurum, and whether Bethurum was sponsored by any other organization. He advised that he did not lmow the interest of nvalor" magazine in Bethurum, and so .far as he knew, Bethurum was acting on his own and had no organizational af'filiations or sponsorship. He was asked as to what disposition would be made of receipts from a large meeting and he advised that he did not know what disposition would be made of the money. He said he understood that Bethurum had been on tour for soine time and that the meeting scheduled for Cincinnati originally on June 11, 19.54 was to be the beginni.ng of a new series of meetings. William Dudle,-;Belley, Noblesville, Indiana reportedly operates the Soul Craft Press at Noblesville and among other pamphlets, published the weekly journal entitled "Valor", which Mr. Pelley describes as a "journal of the applied spirituality." This publication is said to deal mainly with practical mysticism, the spiritual movement called Soulcraft and the relat1onshop between earth man and the individuals arriving on this planet from flying saucers. Mr. Pelley is said to claim that these individuals arriving in flying saucers are of greater intelligence and learning than the earth people and are here to give the earth people intellectual guidance and spiritual endowment and guidance. On July 2, 1954, Thomas Eickhoff advised that no progress had been made with respect to holding a meeting for Truman Bethurum in Cincinnati, Ohio which would be of national significance. He said that Bethurum had returned to California but that there was a possib ility that he would a ain come to Cincinnati, Ohio in the f'all of 1954. At the same time Mr. Eickhoff advised that he had communicated with Donald E~hoe, author of the book Flying aucers From Outer Space 11 and had advised him that he had been inf'ormed by Lieutenant Colonel John 01Mara, Wright-Patterson Air Force Base, Ohio that he was a fraud and that information is avail- - 5 -

To us it matters little whet her these be called "UFO's " ( unid entif ied flying objects) space shi ps, fireballs, flying saucer s or any ot her<iflome. The point is that they are conti ~u~u~1 J comi ng, and they ar~ being observ ed both here and abroed . It appe ars that our government with far gr eate r fa cilities fo r observatio n than any indivi dual i s per fectly aware of such phenomena , but has adopted a policy of silenc e and secrecy in r egard to them . We understand tha t certai n individuals wi t hin the Defense Department are afraid of announci ng the facts to the citizens for fear of panic. Mr . President , we feel that this pol i cy is fa l se , fear -provo king and ent irel y mistaken for the f ollowi ng r easons : 1 . We beli eve that these phenomena are of a magnitude and importance such as to warrant the utmost openness and cooperation between government and c~tize nry. 2 . We bel i eve that the present poli cy of s i lenc~ and se cr ecy is a reflection on t he inte lligence and loyal t y of the American citizen . 3 . We believe tha t t his policy not onlJ' enc oura ges fear and l a ck of confidenc e in government , but lea ds to expl oitati on by unscrupu lous publ i shers and oppor t unistic individuals who prey upon the natural curi osity of t he Amer i can ci t i zen . 4.

Mr . GUNDERMAN advised that he is employed as a layout artist by the Du.Bois Company, Inc., 1120 West Front Street , Cincinnati 3, Ohio, and that he began work there on 8/19 / 54. He advised that the advertising manager of this company is LEONARD H.

He advised that STRINGFIELD is director of this organization and is assisted by his wife, that he writes and publishes monthly the multi-lithographed 11 Newsletter," and that he claims that the publication now has a world-wide circulation of about 4 ,000 copies at a subscription price of $2 .00 per year. GUNDERMAN further adv sed that STRINGFIELD regularly communicates with FRANK1 DWARDS, former A. F. of L. radio news commentator, on the subject of saucers and that, according to STRINGFIELD, EIMARDS is also intensely interested in saucers. EWARDS recently warned STRINGFI.h:LD to be very careful or the Air Force would stop STRINGFIELD's publishing activities. GUNDERMAN also related that STRINGFIELD main tains that the Air Force was responsible for EDWARDS being fired as the A. F. of L. radio news commentator because EDWARDS used his program to publicize his (EDWARDS) saucer interest. GUNDERMAN related that STRINGFI~LD states in the "Newsletter", and also personally , that the u. S. Air Force maintains a strict censorship of news pertaining to saucers, that the Air Force has several thousand saucer scientists t~rking on a research project, and that any military personnel working on the project are subject to immediate court- martia l if they reveal any facts about it. STRINGFIELD has also stated to GUNDERMAN that he be lieves his home telephone is being monitored, presumably by the Air Force , and that he makes phone calls to Wright Patterson Air Force Intelligence Officer JOHN 0 1 MARA and to - 2 -

GUNDERMAN continued that he believes STRINGFIELD is now afraid to proceed too much for fear the Air Force will in some way stop his operations and that EDWARDS ' warning to STRINGFIELD was after the issuing of the October 1, 1954, 11 Newsletter 11 which contained the article about STRINGFIELD' s interview with Colonel 0 1 MARA. At the same time, GUNDERMAN reported that STRINGFIELD, in talking about the possibility that the Air Force might stop his operations, made a state ment to the effect that, "The Air Force can't do anything to me . I'm claiming saucers are interplanetary." GUNDERMAN continued in his letter that another point which may or may not be of interest is the fact that the DuBois Company copywriter, HERBERT E ·r-CLARK, 4974 Stratbmore Drive , Cincinnati , is a close friend 6f STRINGFIELD and is interested in STRINGFIM.D1 s organization. Ha identified CLARK as about 25 years of age and a graduate of Ohio Wesleyan University where CLARK c aims to have been a member of an inter-racial social college fraternity. GUNDERMAN said he noticed that CLARK often brings up such subjects as the falseness of religion, that atomic and hydrogen bombs may be the cause of bad weather, and that colored people shouldn 1 t be discriminated against. At the same time CLARK is active in the Methodist Church and in the Cincinnati Civil Defense organization. GUNDERMAN advised that he was furnishing the foregoing information because he thought that possibly the real purpose of the Civilian Research , Interplanetary Flying Objects organization might be to gather bits of information about a very secret u. s.

OAio Reply to above address or P.O. Box 1855 Copyright 1954 by Len H. Stringfield EXCLUSIVE: PRIVATE TALK WITH LT. COLONEL JOHN 0 1MARA, DEPUTY COMMANDER, INTELLIGENCE,CONFIRMS THE EXISTENCE OF "FLYING SAUCERS" -- TRUTH MAY BE BARED SOON AS 11 TECHNICAL DATA" REACHES THE AIR FORCE. AIR FORCE PLANS COOPERATION WITH PUBLIC. The greatest story involving Earth and Sp ace may soon be told. The "silence" group -- that official fear-faction of the Air force -- who for years fought to keep the truth from the public has now lost its anaconda-hold on accumulative evidence. Stimulated by recent events, the triumphant fearless-faction of the Air Force will take the benighted public in-1:o confidence. As Col. 0 1 Mara btti mated: we want to cooperate and dispense with the misconception that "flying saucers" do not exist. Here is the essence of Col. 0 1Mara' s statements, 9/21/54: Flying saucers "do exist" the Colonel told me, and he added, in effect, past con tradictions were unfortunate. At this point I asked the Colonel if there were two breakdowns of saucers ... the interplanetary device and the secret American mis sile. I was first corrected on the term "missile", then the Colonel said he believed there were "three breakdowns" -- the third, "natural phenomena. 11 By such an admission, we therefore have these three breakdowns ... l) the controlled •·saucer" from outer space ... 2) a secret American saucer-like device and 3) unexplained natural phenomena. When I tried for a committal statement on the interplanetary "saucer" I was, as expected.rebuffed, but was told that in their research they were "gradually getting more data. 11 Then for corroboration, I asked if all the saucers seen by Americans were American devices and to this the Colonel replied: 11 Definitely not! Something does exist, " he said, which, of course, is diametric to all A. F. statements follow ing Major Keyhoe's book. In this respect, the Colonel intimated that the A. F. plans to cooperate with the public ... and a statement will be forthcoming from the De fense Dept. which will explain some of the past contradictions and release the de tails behind many of the sightings. When I asked, again, about the 700 sightings a week, he told me that this would be covered in the A. F. release. Col. O'Mara and I discussed many sensative issues. Although he spoke guardedly, the Colonel was wonderfully cooperative, and I could well ap:,:reciate his position in relation to official security. When, for instance, I asked about the Earth Satel lites, and the theory indicating they were "rocks " ( see page 3) he replied that he has not received word they were "rocks. 11 He said the scientist in White Sands "are still working very hard and have lots of things to work on. 1 1 When .I asked about the silent Mars Committee he explained that the astronomers have not issued a report because 11 they are in disagreement" as to what they found. In my 26 minute talk with the Colonel we also discussed saucer hostility, mysteri.: ous plane crashes, the Atlantic problem, and, whether or not the CRIFO News letter was slanted in the right direction. Re: the latter, the Colonel said, in effect, that it ( the Newsletter) was in the right direction ... Editor's Note: Our Newsletter, due to abov~ information, was revamped the last minute. What was the first page is now the second,, et al.

Source text · mention only-2- SAUCERS HARASS EARTH; FEAR OF WORLD PANIC FORCES INTERNATIONAL CENSORSHIP: Behind the Mask of Comedy is tragedy - - the tragedy of censor ship; on stage is the "Flying Saucer" whose misfortune of name has held it ludi crously before the public eye since Ken Arnold announced "nine saucer-like things" flying near Mt. Ranier in 1947. " Saucers" in their true dimension are less ludicrous to world governments. Working in cooperative secrecy they have enforced a bowstring-tight conspir acy of censorship. A recent example is found in this writer's correspondence with the Chilean Naval Mission in Washington, D. C. To quote their reply of December 23, 1953: " We are pleased to acknowledge receipt of your letter ... regarding the photo graphs showing UFO's informational flight, which you mention were taken by Captain Orrego of the Chilean Navy near Antarctica in 1948. 'Regarding this matter we wish to inform you that recently we received a com munication from Capt. Orrego stating that he had not seen any UFO's over the Antarctica in 1948,therefore, the photographs requested by you do not exist .... 11 (Signed) Harold Nagel, Captain Chief of the Chilean Naval Mission. Going back into old files I find that Capt. Augusto Orrego said:"During the bright antarctic night we saw flying saucers, one above the other, turning at tremen dous speeds. We have photographs to prove what we saw. 11 And now, the proof of Chilean contradiction, thus international censorship. Here I refer to Major Key hoe I s recent book. He says: "Later, when I requested copies ·from the Chilean Embassy in Washington I was told that the pictures ( Captain Orrego 1 s) were classified. 11 Editor: For the pictures to be classified they first had to exist. Why, d~ring December, did they fail to exist? Does this tie in with the U.S. Air Force's sudden security ruling, which I learned by letter from ATIC, Wright-Patterson AFB, dated De·c. 17, 1953. They said, in part: "In reference to your letter, the A TIC has been directed to make all information on Project Blue Book available to the Dept. of Defense for release from that point only .... 11 What happened in those yestermonth skies ? Why do our Air Force and Central Intelligence bend over backwards to circumvent the truth about flying saucers? Why do foreign governments self-contradict themselves? Are they hiding super saucer missiles of their own ... or, are they all just being cooperative to con- •ceal some great American weapon? Hardly! . The answer is in the skies today ... right this minute! Fresh reports come to my desk daily. They come from competent and honest people. While these reports are being written other vehicles are crossing the barriers of space and time to "violate" earth's international boundaries ... to harass the paths of air lines, and with increasing frequency, to come closer to terra firma. Here, they hover over roof tops, 11 buzz 11 automobiles and peer into house windows. Some cause destruction, even death. Are these the behind-the-scenes reasons for censorship?

I first reported these two mys terious earth satellites in my April Newsletter ... then again, following Lt. Col. O'Mara's admission to me, June 8, that a govt. project was tracking the objects but that the evidence was conflicting. I heard nothing more until Aug. 3 when Edward W. Hermann, special agent for McGraw-Hill Publications, told me Dave Anderton, Engineering Editor of Aviation Week, had received a report from Dr. Lincoln La Paz regarding the satellites, and, that it would 11 appear in detail in a coming issue. 11 In that a correspondent friend, Ted Bloecher of New York, tells me he tried dozens of newstands for the magazine, but to no avail ( indicating a sudden scarcity) I will quote the August 2·3, 1954 issue of Aviation Week: "Pentagon scare over the observanc~ of two previously unobserved satellites orbiting the earth had dissip a ted with the identification of the objects as na tural, not artifi.cial sat ellites. Dr. Lincoln La Paz ... headed the identification project. One satellite is orbiting about 400 miles out while the other track is 600 miles from the earth. Pentagon thought the Russians had beaten the U.S. to space operations. " Now, the rest of the story, thanks to Ted Bloecher. Says Ted: 11 Being of a nature that is naturally suspicious of anything printed, I wrote Dr. La Paz and requested that he verify this release. I received an answer yesterday. ( Sept. 8). In his letter, Dr. La Paz regrets 'that Aviation Week 1s misleading satellite story has received such widespread and uncritical publicity.' Enclosed also was the letter he (La Paz) had written to A. P. Strangely eno ugh , the p apers were content with carrying the false report, for I've seen no mention of Dr. :;:_,a Paz's correction on this report. 11 Following is copy of letter, in part, by Dr. LaPaz,totheAssociated Press: "Scientifically and militarily, the search for nearby satellites of the earth is one of the most important on which mankind has ever embarked. It is there fore unfortunate, although not surprising, that false rumors are bound to be circulated in regard to the nature and results of this search. 11 As regards the Aviation Week story on the satellite search, summarized in the A. P. release shown me, it is false in every partic~lar insofar as reference to me is concerned .... No one representing Aviation Week has questioned qi~ concerning any possible connection I may have with .the satellite search program, and no one whatever has been authorized to credit me with the activities attrib uted to me in the Aviation Week story. 11 (Signed) Lincoln La Paz Director Institute of Meteoritics Your letters and clippings are greatly appreciated; each is carefully read and filed.

Here's the story, thanks to the help of Mrs. John German of Woodscross, Utah who probed the Salt Lake Tribune files for the early facts - - before SILENCE! On May 7, 1954 the Tribune reported: "A 1 conventional meteorite fall' did not produce the crater found west of here Sunday, and probing operatipns at the scene have been discontinued, geologists said. In a 73-word statement, 3 sci entists gave reasons why they ended their investigation, but it contained no opinion on who or what made the hole, or how it was made. "The statement, signed by J. Stewart Williams, professor of geology, Utah State Agricultural College, Lincoln La Paz.., director. Institute of Meteoritics, Uni versity of New Mexico and Clyde T. Hardy, USAC geology professor read: 1In the region extending from Clarkston south to Paradise, exhaustive interro gation of numerous persons who saw or heard the explosive phenomenon at midnight on May 1 has been carried out. The testimony thus obtained and material evidence recovered as a result of subsurface investigations at the site of the explosion west of Logan have disclosed that the crater was not produced by a conventional meteorite fall. For these reasons, operations have been discontinued! 11 And from the Tribune, May 5: 11 Dr. Lincoln La Paz spent his firc;t full day here, working with Dr. J. Stewart Williams and Dr. Clyde T. Hardy. On his arrival here Monday night, Dr. La Paz said the hole must have been made by a 'whopper I if it contains a meteorite . They decided to place a frame around the crater and cover it with wire mesh. Workers will stand on movable planks and probe with a pipe. In this way they will know they have probed every place possible under the mesh. 11 'My recommendation is that we excavate until we find what made the hole,' said Dr. La Paz, who is credited -with recovering the world's largest aerolite, weighing more than one ton. 11 The incident occurred on May 1 bringing "500 phone calls" to the Logan City Police Dept. Residents reported their houses "shaken" and TV viewers said their reception was disturbed. A check made later with Hill Air Force Base and Salt Lake City indicated no planes in the area for several hours. A war veteran described the 16 ft. wide and 6 ft. deep hole as looking like a 11 bomb crater. 11 Sod was found scattered in all directions for more than 100 yards. On Aug. 31, 1 54, I wrote Dr. Clyde T.Hardy,geologist who worked on the pro ject, asking if any substantial evidence as to its (the explosion's) source had been uncovered. Following is Dr. Hardy's reply of Sept. 11, 1954: 11 Reference is made to your letter of Aug. 31 re. the explosion and crater west of Logan. Although a fireball was reported by several people previous to the ground explosion, I am personally convinced that they were confused. One es pecially competent observer describes a ground flash only and he was favorably situated to see all aspects of the occurrence . " (Signed) Clyde T. Hardy Assoc. Prof. , Dept. Geology (Ref.

They handed the unsu s pecting reader a front page story without the facts, then ( see July 3 New York Times) presented the facts in a separate story buried in the back pages. Reason: They fea r ed public reaction to saucer tragedy, viz: Capt. Mantell. But, wits didn 1t pit right with Ted Bloecher and others such as Lester S. Parker of Topeka, Kansas. They correlated the loose ends: Let's review one 11 end 11 -- the front page story: A jet fighter returning from a 11 scramble 11 to investigate an '1unidentified aircraft 1' , plunged into tiny Walesville eleven miles southwest of Utica, about 12:30 P.M., July 2, 1954. The pl ane crashed into an auto and two buildings killing four persons. The Air Force in Washington announced the F-94-C Starfire had been s ent up on "an active a i r d efens e int er cept rnis sio:r:.. " Acc o rdi n g t o t he 'C . P . release of July 3, "Air• Force spokesmen said the cockpit of the plane ... became un bearably hot during the flight and that the pilot ordered his radar observer to bail out ... then bailed out himself at 7000 ft. " According to the A. P. release in New York Times July 3, " The air base (Griffis AFB) said, 'that fuel in the burning plane apparently had exploded when the jet crashed.' They said it had not been determined whether an explosion occurred while the jet was in the air." " Later, '1 according to A. P., "an AF spokesman in Washington said the inter cepted plane was one that had failed to file a flight plan with C. A. A. or, one that drifted off its announced flight path. 11 The U. P. and A. P. stories of disaster were essentially true, but because of the ' 1disaster 11 angle they designated the pursued object as a " plane" rather than a UFO. Ted Bloecher, who did some checking, told me that his friend, Ed Wilkenson, listened to a broadcast which described the incident, thus: " The jet had successfully contacted the UFO but still could not iden~ify it. 11 But Ted Bloecher's real find was in the small item buried in the New York Times' (July 3) back pages. It reads: 11\. silvery, balloon-like object floating high over the Utica area sent residents rushing to their telephones to make inquiries of newspapers, police and radio stations. 11 The Utica Press estimated that more than 1000 calls about the object jammed its switchboard between 6 and 10:00 P.M. It was reported sighted by residents in a twenty-five mile radius extending from Rome on the west to Frankfort, east of Utica. 11 Col. Milton F. Summerfelt commandant of the Air Force Depot at Rome said the object appeared to be a plastic balloon about 40 ft. long and partially deflated. He theorized that it was making a gradual descent and said that if it still were in the area tomorrow morning a plane would be sent to investigate. 11 A Mohawk Airlines pilot estimated the altitude of the object at about 20, 000 ft. He said he saw a light apparently shining from it. 11 ( Ref. Case File - 21)

MYSTERY METAL IGNITES ROAD: Woodside, California officials and resi dents were baffled by a shower of white-hot metal pellets, Aug . 27, 1954. The furore was triggered when a woman motorist saw a "circle of fire " along Pertola Road. Later firemen found scores of small pieces of flaming metal burning the pavement over an area about 70 by 250 feet. The blacktop bubbled where the metal burned into it and grass fires were started where the metal burned along the shoulders of the highway. A resident, Ignacio Miramontes, reported hearing a loud explosion about 4: 15 P. M., but saw nothing . According to U . P. release, "Metallurgists and AF officials offered no solution for the whi'te-hot pellets. "San Mateo officials reported the pellets ranging in size from a dime to a 50 cent piece, and according to Woodside Fire Chief, John Volpaino, the metal shower burned holes in the road surface a quarter of an inch deep. "I just can't figure it out," he said. "It has me completely mysti fied." Deputy Sheriff Robert Benassini said the metal scraps had irregular marking and appeared to have come from a "cylindrical object. " An Air Force spokesman advanced the theory, the metal came from jet plane exhaust pipes which reach extreme temperatures in flight. However, a check with air bases disclosed no military jets were in the bay area Friday. (Thank s to Perry G. Powers of Duarte and an unnamed informant who sent in the story from San Fransisco Call Bulletin : ) THE "SPLOTCHED PAINT MYSTERY": On the same date in Little Hollywood, in a community in the valley by the bay just north of San Fransisco County line, residents were baffled by.a •11 splotched paint mystery'!

One Albert Allgeyer came home from work to find the bright yellow trim on his two- story house stained to a "washed-out brown, almost black color. 11 The stains wouldn 1t rub off, without taking the hard top coat of paint. too. It looked like someone had used a blow-torch, and in some places the stains appeared in dirty brown rivulets. Allgeyer was certain that the stains weren't there the night before. So was Howard May, neighbor, who received similar treatment. His house is trimmed in yellow too, as is another house across the street where stains appeared. On Sept. 22, I talked with Allgeyer again and learned that the Kettering La,b at University of Cincinnati had taken air samples as well as specimens of the af fected paint. A Dr. Hughes explained that the mystery was caused by the chemi cal reaction of hydrogen sulphide which could attack the lea d in <r ertain paints. T he Lab averred that the chemical probably emanated from the MillcreekVall ey which runs near Allgeyer's home, and which has since affected other homes in • the area. Although a Proctor and Gamble doctor who examined Allgeyer told him that the chemical mentioned is not injurious to people, Allgeyer, five days after the incident com nlained of extreme swelling of both hands and eye lids. Described as some kind of allergy -- not hives, they offered no explanation. Editor's Note: Remembering other ubiquitous mysteries, viz., pitted wind shields, metallic pellets, curious ash deposits, I refer red to a re cent article written by Edward S. Schultz, of Buffalo, N. Y. entitled, 11 The Growing Wind shield Damage Phenomenon, 11 which appeared in B. S, R . A. 's May-June, 1954 issue of Round Robin.

C-22, Rockford, Ill. .. 9/5/54) As they had done on many occasions, amateur astronomers, Peter Bartkus and Theodore McColm, were watching the moon through a telescope. Between the hours of 10:35 and 11:15 P.M., Bartkus write s : 11 1 observed the most unusual phenomena I have ever had the experi ence of witnessing." Bartkus continues: "The moon was observed through my 6 11 cassigranian reflector telescope using a secondary mirror. The total focal length for this setup is over 100 11 , and with the use of 15 0 and 2 00 power occu lars we got tremendous power with the least loss of light. The moon was in the first quarter and its diameter was 29 feet, 30 inches. We saw a spherical object ascending from the northern section off Mare Humboldtianum area. It was not glowing or brilliant, but seemed more like a dull reflected light of a planet. Its size we estimated at about the diameter of craters Pitiscus or Vlaco. At the time it disappeared at 11: 15, it had travelled more than the 29 1 30 11 of 'arc in about 40 minutes. We checked out the possibility of atmospheric diffraction in the sky or the scope by traversing the scope, and by changing the occulars. The object must have been a powered body because as the moon was descending at 1081 mph, the object was ascending and not following a true orbit. It was definitely in space, and in the same field as the moon, or near the moon. 11

C-23, Rome, Italy ... 9/18/54) A. P. Wire: Startled Romans who saw a strange cigar-shaped object streaking over the capital flooded newspaper offices with calls. Radar operators also reported picking up the missile on instruments. Technicians at Ciampino Airfield described the "half-cigar'' as plummeting toward earth for more than 1000 ft. , then rising at tremendous speed before vanishing. ( Thanks to George Popowitch, Barberton, Ohio.) An INS release by eyewitness Michael Chinigo states: 11 What attracted my at tention was the strange sound as it passed overhead . It was like thunder with a staccato effect ... a series of explosions that grew lo'l,lder as the object got closer. This was followed by a dead silence as the thing stopped, or appeared to, at a height of about 6000 ft. Suddenly it shot upward and left an exhaust trail of milky white smoke . It went straight up into the sky. The Defense Dept. described it as a 'clipped cone' with a smaller surface on the bottom, or as two semi-circular disks, one bigger than the other, with a bigger one on top. To me it seemed like an inverted sawed-off cone. What was strange was the object's ability to 'park' in mid-air for several minutes . The radar station at Rome which picked up the 'cigar' or 'cone 1 said it registered for 3 S minutes. 11 ( Thanks to Warren Morse, Palo Alto, Calif.) Editor's Note: Significant here is the AP and INS release. First they break us the news on the Labrador sighting in July, then silence, then the Norwegian space man story in August, now Italy.

At the present time our research activities are being kept secret.However,at a time in the future when we have no nced to use this security measure,I will personally write and inform you of what we were,and possibly are,doing. Our researcb does heve a secondary issue. The main body of our research is with electric fields.（It is not a "copy" of whet Keyhoe mentioned in his recent book relating to the Canadian Project.The research with which we are concered has been carried on for many years now by a research foundation in Western United States-which is not connected to us.) The “flying Baucer" reports are of value to us because they may give clues towerd the investigation of various phases in cur re- search. I heve told you these thingsso thet you might understand the need for our recieving saucer reports,also because you are no doubt curious about our activities.(Every once in a while I will inform you of our activity.) Because you and Mrs.Boucher are taking the time and trouble to help us - in turn,we wish to cooperate as best we can to in some way return the favor.So,do nct hesitate in calling on us in the future.

Vi On 4/5/56 Miss Rich rds left Washington by car with her fiance, Joseph L. Morris, Jr. (employee of National Security Agency), to go to Morven, North Carolina to meet the orris family. Around 5 a. m. on 4/6/56 as dawn was breaking and while driving on Route 1 north of Henderson, North Carolina, the pair was startled by what appeared to be a round low-flying object coming directly towards the car . The object appeared to pass over the car and iss Richards turned to see it appear to speed up and then veer off out of sight. She and Mr. Morrts both felt they had seen something unuaual which was difficult to explain and certainly did not appear to be an optical illusion. Miss Richards stated the object as she saw it appeare d round, was spinning and was bright as though containing a series of lights in a 2ig-zag pattern. The object appeared to be fl ying very low as it came towards them, movin g at great spee d and g aue of/ no particular sound. The object, to the best of her belief, was at least as wide a the highway and appeared no more than two to four feet in thickness. Miss Richards, who is one of our best employees, stated hereto/ore she has placed little credence in ''.flytng saucer" stories and felt that had she and her boyfriend not seen the same object she would be inclined to think she had imagined something. She appreciates that what they saw may have been some kind of optical illusion; however, at the time the object appeared very real to them. 1 RECOMMENDATION: If you agree, it ts recommended that this memorandum be referred to the Liaison Section of the Domestic Intelligence Division for possible referral to any int?rested military agencies. 1',BE:sak l..2..:~...J (3) \

Source text · mention only• TRU. OPY 12 Hope st. stamford, Conn. October 5, 1956 Mr. J. Edgar Hoover Director of F. B. L Washington, D. C. Dear Mr. Hoover: Enclosed is a copy of a Lecture sent to me from Detroit. I think it is the most fascinating Research ever made. In your busy life you may not have encountered it, so I thought I would send you a copy. Why doesn't the Government come out with the truth about unidentified Flying Objects? Everybody seems to accept the "Saucers" as a matter of course, and people are becoming annoyed at the "ostrich stance" our Leaders have taken about them. A number of clergymen feel that the time has come for someone to answer intelligently and sincerely the public's inquiries. They have gone to "The Book' --the Sacred Bible where man can always find the answers to all his needs, doubts, fears--and inquiries I I have heard many people say that you probably have all the answers--but I suppose you have been throttleatoo I'm so glad you refused to accept the invitation to run for President. You would have been a good one--(if you could be let alone)--but sordid Party politics would have engulfed you too much. To the Legions of your admirers you stand too High- are too clean and honest to become so involved. Thanks to Almighty God there are character Influences like you still standing on the same firm ground of our Forefathers. Each day now a few more chips are knocked off the pillars of Learning, High morals, decent behavior and honest standards. Where can it all end? The days are becoming wearisome and fearful; surely the repercussions are shaking the outer walls of even Our Father's House. I wonder what the God ct· Our Fathers is going to do about it? With deepest respect, s/ Esther D. Fillion

Source text · mention onlyand Elijah came to meet Jesus on the Mount of Trausfiguration via "a bright cloud''• We know what these "clouds" were~ The "cloud" disap peared with them again. The poor ·man in Luke 16, was carried by space men into another world. Do space~men carry away into heaven or space the "souls" of the dead? A woman ;in Rev. 12, was given unusual loco motive powers to escape her enemy. These instances can be multiplied hundreds of times!! Even God's activities now become c1earer! God's pre$ence in scripture - is described "like birds hovering" (Is a . 31:5). The l).overing is a hovering of some flying object. "Clouds" are called Jlis chariot, with them comes the wind, fire and flame (Ps. 104). · one reads of "a swift cloud 11 ( Isa . 19:1), in other words a space -ship. Note the following description: "Then the earth reeled and rocked: the :foundations also of the mountains trembled and quaked, because He was angry . Smoke went up from His nostrils, and devouring fire from His mouth: glowing Qoals flamed forth from Him. He bowed the heavens and came down. Thick dark ness was under His feet. He rode on a cherub and flew. He came swiftly upon the wings of the wind" (Ps. 18). We have discussed these signs above. They describe a space-ship, although the observ er here, in not seeing the pilot, describes the space-ship as though it were a person. Perhaps in this case this space -ship might be God's own private space ship or the so-called "mother" ship• Why should we deny God the right to make a machine and use it too, if He wants to? God's presence with Israel in the d~sert was via a "pillar of cloud" in the day a.nd by night a "pillar of fire"; the fire of course would not be visible in the sky by day (Exo. 13); Out of this cloud God harassed the Egyptians . In Isa. 66, it is reporlted "for behold the Lord will come in fire and His chariots like the stor~ -wi nd with flames of fire". And a gain, "His chariots are like the whirlwind" (.Jer. 4:13) . Psalms 68:17, claims that God lived on Mount Sinai for a while with 20,000 chariots. Big "clouds" settled on Mount Sinai with "fire 0 and "smoke" for forty days. Moses was given the tablets of the law on this mountain, through the intervention of space-men, ... Paul tells us. Sinai seems to have been God's headquarters for a certqin maneuver at this time. Space-men with their ships always seem to be present when God's people are in dan ger. Even a difficult passage like "And the 'glory 1 of the Lord went up from the midst of the city and stoQd upon the mountain" (Ezk. 11:23), now becomes clear. It means that 1he ships took off from the middle of the city, the take-off place, and then landed on a mountain. Neither should we forget that God is called the Lord of 11 Sabbaoth 11 in · the Bible , which means the Lord of "host s" or "armies" - real armies, apace-armies. This name "the Lord of hosts", is the most used name for God in the Bible . He is the God of war. This title is used hundreds of times together with the complementary · phrase "hosts of heaven", · or hosts of space . Jacob once saw tb,.e whole assembled army. We -read, "The angels (space-men) of God met him and when Jacob saw them he said , 'This is God's army '." (Gen. 32). These hosts were at one time an ob ject of worship by earth-men. It seems that God often came down out of heaven or space to earth to fulfill His plans and to carry out certain campaigns. When the space-ships were station~ry and when the central turret was raised, they looked like thro nes, and are so-called in scripture. "His throne was fiery flames, its wheels were burning fire, a stream of fire issued and came forth from before Him11 (Dan. 7:9). No ordinary thrones these, but space-ships ! In Rev . ,, we ha.ve a unique description of the "mother" ship and twenty-four others on a landing-field which looked like a "sea of glass-like crystal", and from them all came flashes of lightning, voices and peals of thunder".

Earth - men who have pleased God in the meantime , will "ascend up into space in a space - ship in the sight of their foes " (Rev . 11) .

Martin, age 56, is one of the original founders of "Time" magazine, was \f employed by Louis de Rochemont on our movie, "House on 92nd Street," a\id he formerly was editor of "March of Time." He married Mar Gilb.,.ert, whom he says is known to the Director. He has one arm. l 4 l I ' Martin said, to make a long story short, tha he has run mto a situation which has to do with an unidentified flying object observed two days ago in the Great Meadows vicinity. Martin said he had made a formal report in writing to military authorities, as well as to two civilian groups interested in the affair. General Wedemeyer is connected with one of the latter groups. Martin said he is not satisfied that the "intelligence" he supplied to the military is being handled properly, nor does he know to whom he should submit infor mation and in what fashion. He said frankly he wanted an Agent to call upon him so that the Agent could evaluate his information, although he said he well knew "flying saucers, " etc. , were not within the scope of the FBI' s interest nor jurisdiction. (The attached news ticker from United Press reflects that in testimony before a House Appropriations Subcommittee, 2-19-57 . Hugh yden, Director of the National Advisory Committee for Aeronautics, had flatly stated there is no such thing as a flying saucer. It was said too that the Air Force or some other authority should nail down the unidentified "flying objects" and "say it is pure fiction.") ~ While normally we would simply tell a caller that we have no and that he should refer such matter to the proper military -'Ylf cc: Mr. Boardman cc: Mr. Belmont 2REW:af t;, / ~ -
