Editorial:
WHERE 00 WE STAND?
IT HAS BEEN NE.Am.Y twelve years now since "flying
saucers" first crossed U . s. headlines. To estimate our
position with reference to where we stood ten years ago,
five years ago and where we stand today compared to our
collective objectives is a task not to be envied.
There is little question but that much of the
enthusiasm over UFO's has vanished in recent years. A
lack of sightings and important developments plus our
practical entry into the space age (thus reducing the
aura of mystery surroundin UFO's) has undoubtedly ac
Also, the unimaginable
counted for this condition.
quantity of material--almost wholly devoid of a new
approach or even new data--that has flooded the UFO
field in recent years has done little more than to
deluge a respectable subject with wholesale garbage.
Books in all probability have accounted for more
new and renewed interest in this subject than anything
else. Moat researchers concur that the most epochal
and controversial have been !ly!ng Saucers Are Real (Key
hoe, 1950), Behind the !ly!ng Saucers (Scully, 1950),
llYlng Saucers Landed (Leslie-Adamski, 1953), !lying
Saucers from Outer Space (Keyhoe, 1953), The Report 2n
Unidentified !lying Objects (Ruppelt, 195and !lying
Saucers and the Straight-Line MY (Michel, 1958:1
It is, this writer believes, significant to note that
only two booke of unusual importance have been published
on UFO's in the past five years, and they both suffered
from notoriousl poor circulation {especially when com
pared to Keyhoe s first paperback book, which sold out
500,000 copies).
IF AESOP WAS CORRECT when he wrote, "United we
stand, divided we fall," then surely we must have fallen.
One wonders if Air Force policy has underlain the hope
of "give them enough rope and they'll hang themselves."
It might be recalled that the Air Force has never attacked
nor openly questioned the validity of any fanatic or crack
pot plaguing this research. And a greater degree of di
vision among UFO followers cannot be conceived, as M. K.
Jessup eo adequately illustrates in his article elsewhere
in this issue.
Where does the problem lie? This question can
never be answered with any certainty. Most of us have
pointed towards official censorship and ridicule. But
other important issues have survived similar problems.
Is it then the ridicule fostered by the fantastic claims
of some contact claimants {such as tales of lovers on
other worlds, space ships composed of dove feathers, etc.)?
Any new science has been faced with as many and kindred
crackpots, and has survived.

PRESS APATHY HAS GONE a long way to give the public

an extremely distorted picture of the UFO situation.
The news media have been highly superficial, non-ana-
lytical, sensational, too gullible in accepting all of
ficial pronouncements at face value, and downright dog
matic. They have overplayed the ridiculous and contro
versial and usually ignored the serious statements from
pilots, astronomers and equally qualified individuals.
But such press apathy is only a product of public
apathy. When the newspaper reader is more interested in
the latest ball score, Hollywood scandal or murder trial,
newsmen can hardly be expected to be inspired by some
thing as nebulous as possible visitors from outer space.
Then there is the insurmountable problem of UFO's
being an all too infrequent observational phenomena.
UFO's cannot be forecast, cannot be examined in a labor
atory, cannot be tested, cannot be measured. This subject
does not have the advantages of an experimental science,
which is assured of eventually accumulating sufficient
empirical data to prove or disprove its reality. Even
ESP and psychokinesis can be experimental under labor
atory conditions, and a gradual statistical accumulation
of data may eventually prove the validity of these phen
omena. But at least UFO's can be--and have been--photo
graphed.
IN MANY RESPECTS, technological progress has in
directly done UFO's more harm than good. When a UFO is
reported today, it is usually "explained" as an ultra
high altitude experimental balloon, a new configuration
in aircraft design, a recently launched missile or satel
lite, refUeling jets, or anything else that flies. To
day's aircraft fly virtually as high, fast or slow as
any UFO reported. The recently held World Congress of
Flight demonstrated standard aircraft (not helicopters)
that could nearly takeoff or land on the proverbial dime,
fly so slow (about 10 mph) as to appear to hover (and
without stalling), and others that could make exceedingly
"tight n turns.
On the other hand, our technological progress makes
it possible to more readily detect, observe and photo
graph UFO's. Pilots fly higher, new missile tracking
camerae can photograph a golf ball at 70,000 feet, and
the new BMEWS radar installations will be able to track
objects at distances up to several thousand miles. But
these areas of research are all in the hands of Govern
mental agencies, and it is therefore rather improbable
that we shall hear of any sightings or findings made
through these channels, at least within the foreseeable
fUture.

The UFO's are believed to be operated by innate

intelligences, Russians, U. s. Pilote, Martians,
Venusians, Jovians, Saturniane, remote control, auto

They are believed to be powered by rockets, atomic

thought control, fourth dimensional vibrations, photo
ejection, atomic reactance, ma gn etic reactance, light
pressure, gravity shields and {probably) imagination.
UFO' s ARE BELIEVED to have the purpose of explor

at least ten thousand years), mapping the earth, study

planets, kidnapping humans for specimens of study,
studying our aviation and rockets, gathering to evacuate
this planet at the onset of a new cosmic catastrophe,
preparing for the second coming of Christ, aiding in our
physical and mental evolution, also giving us religious
guidance 1n matters relating to universal love and cosmic
brotherhood.

The UFO ' s are also supposed to be space animals,

discarnate entities, mother ships, scout ships, balls
of intelligent fire, pure energy, super-heavy matter,
stray vibrations, meteors, comets, temperature inver
sians, and thought forms of higher entities.
