2nd ed1t1on JW.y 13, 1965

FOR THE FIRS~ TIME since the Zamora sighting in Socorro, New Mexico last ye<~, my local newspaper, The St. Catharines Standard has made mention ot tJFOs.

rn tact, the JUly 12 edition ot almost every newspaper in North ft~erica -­ann many elsewhere as well -- made mention of UFOs. A world-wide wave ot s1i~htings, which may well be the most exciting development in years, seems to be taking place.

With thanks to the YCers who have participated in this edition, I am pleased to say that I believe all readers will find the 2nd edition of the YC ~sletter to be a source of interesting and perhaps usetul materiar-which tlifty may not come upon elsewhere.

I have not -heard from some YCers regarding the matter of subscription to the Newsletter. Rates are 3 issues for 50¢, for YCers and any other persons interested ln UFOs.

Copies ot this edition are being sent· to all members or the Youth Council. Anr Youth Council member who wishes to subscribe and has not yet done so, may send in 50t-As payment for this issue and the 3rd and 4th editions, wh~.ch will ·'le released in the next couple months.

As the YC g;~ows (and my information indicates that we can be expecting some nev! members shortly), I hope that this Newsletter will also grow ••• in its co~erage, development of a distinct style, and participationJ resulting 1n a cogent, ~ltormal publication, designed to provide a clear perspective on a ~ubject ~1 which we are all very interested. Brian A~ers, Al Kaisher, and my~elt hope to serve the readers of the Newsletter in this capacity or organizers and distributors or information.

we are also hoping that, tor the next edition, we will be hearing trom metr.bers Linda Stone and John Blick, both freshmen YCers with whom we would like to become more acquainted.

y c M UtN.e,07"1f ••••• Blll Shields bas offered to do a series ot abort artic-J.es- for the- Newsle-tter, coYering possible methods of UFO pro­pulsion 1~ light of the methods of propulsion wbich have been outlined by sc1ent1at3 tor possible application to our space programs. Here is Bill's introduction to his forthcoming series:

To examine possible methods of UFO propulsion is actually to examine me­thods · or apace flight Man himself might use in tho tuture. Thus, the essays tbat rollnw in the next three issues of tbe Jewslotter will be based on break­throughs l•n hopes to make in the next 100 to 200 years.

I will exf~ne UFO propulsion in three parts: 1) electromagnetic, 2) grav1tic, and 3) re~ction and other types. In­cluded in electro~gnetism will be planetary magnetic fields, planetary charges, End focusing magnetic beams • . UDder cravtt,r. will be propulsion accor-41D& to Ein8te1nts gravitation, pro~ p·.Jlsion according to modern theories of ~aYity, and extensions of these two e~ncepts~ Finally, in the last cate­cory, labelled "reaction and other ~rpes", I ·will study variou~ rocket­t;rpe drives, · such as a super-ion drive, ~Jd also various other propulsion sys­tems close~ to present-day knowledge. ·

rn and aft~r the essays, I will give e ~ples ~~om the UFO EVIn~NCE report, IIE!ntion so·1rces of researched facts, · and recomm~md books for further reading on the top lcs discussed.

~- closing , I express my hope that ttese ess~·s will be informative t o YC ~~embers, and that . they will be worth­while read:.ng tor anyone interested in tte subj ~c ·:. : of the UFO.

'/ C fllassach4.setfs lfeporfs g T:'le Creatllres - llali\Y saucer s1ghtings are accompanied by reports of strange c~eatures emerging from the craft or examining the area around it. No doubt m'lst ot tbese creature reports are hoaxes, mistaken identities of animals, o:' hallucinations. (We are not eYen considering the type or contactea wl10se cla1liB are ridiculous, of' ten bordering on the mystic-religious cults.) H!)weYer, there are many sightings or beings which do present quite a DrJsteey, snch as the Socorro case. Taking these perplexing casas as a whole, it is e·rtdent tb~t the so-called "spacemenw, if they do exist, definitely do have s :.milar cbuoacteristics and actions.

oae or the acst outstanding features is their smallness. The beings t · $1zes u~;ually ra 3ge from 3 to 5 feet, althouah huge monsters ~r "people" of' our 0,~ size h~ve been reported. The small ones are often reported wearing a motallic-l)Oking- spacesuit with a helmet. Other small creatures, alle1~edly S(' OD 1n mav South American sightingaj, are animal-like, with glowing e~Tes. or course, there are slight variations, but most tall into the categories I ~- ve menti>ned. Often, these small beings have been observed explori~~ the et.rth am ~ollecting material, always in a deserted area. They very soldom w!peak", aLmost never in a known language. · ·

· I1- may be ;rue that all these sightincs of creatures are tallacies. But t~n. ~l~ did "l:~ ttle men" become so popular instead of giants? And why did a p<·lice otr.~cer stake his good reputation on a claim that he saw two be~ngs at·ound a U I'Q that definitely _did land?

I!· the UDi·rerse Finite? -- ·Recently ·Dr. Allan flandage, an astronome't' at •t~ Wilson and Palomar Observatories, formulated a theory concerning the origin, si : ~e and rate or the universe. The theory states that the uni\·erse i~ a tinittt, closed system that originated about 12 billion years ago from a gigantic explosion. which hurled all matter outward. The universe thE1n ~pands fo1 · 41 billion years (29 billion to go), ·and contracts for another 4J 'billion years; in other words, it pulsates once every 82 billion yen•so

.. ~ndage ba:.es his theory on several clues: the quas1-stellars; a new class of super-b1·ight "blue galaxies" he has discovered, which may be t.he next · · ·stage of fc ·rmer quasi-stellars (these "blue galaxtes" are estimated to be 500 tites more numerous than the highly-unstable quasi--stellars); and the red sbift ot rt.ceding objects (faster they go, the re-dder their light becares) -- ~everal distant ones have very fast recess i on rate indicating universe still is e>:panding, while some close ones have slow rate indicating the expansion ! s slowing down.

This . b1g--b~ ng theory, 'besides contradicting the steady state theory which s~ys the ur·.iverse 1s timeless anr.l matter 1s being formed emlessly, gives . us clues tc the events that have happened and will happen in the ~sterious universe.

M1NII~So1"A :Boj 'i?irN~Rf'.s llrO l'l'OJI the Willmar 1 Minnesota Daily Tribune ••• 29 April 1965:

JEW LONOON -- A nine year old New Lomon bay claims to have seen what he . dascribed as a flying saucer about 5 pm Momay. At the same time his rather bl!ard an eerie. noise that the youth said was caused by the thing. Gary G-reen is the boy who said the black machine descended noial.essly to within a rew inches or the ground, then raised a "stick" resembling an antenna or periscope. The boy said that was when the noise began. His rather~ FJdward, 51, was across the road in a silo doing chor.es. He described the soum as . somewhat s1mUar to a siren, but different. :r.t was even at first but tben cnanged' pitch in a slow warbling manner. He stepped out ot the si~o and looked in the direction or the noise but could see nothing because or a grove of t~ees.

Gar)" said that after a minute or two the pro-trusion was wi·thdrawn and the noise ceas~d. Then the craft lit'ted slowly to about the height or the barn. Then, as G~ry described it: "Zoom, it was gonet" He said it shot off in a ·.­wosterly dlrect1on.

The younga ';er, who will be 10 next month, sa1d he bad tallen orr his bicycle· -at the end of the Green's driveway. When he 'f'fas sprawled on the ground· he -'chanced to see the thing in the air. As he sat there, retrified, it hovered .· on the sid•.! or a hill 1n the cow pasture (as indicated 1.1 the drawing} about. 200 teet t':-om him. Gary said_ it looked someY1hat like twe; saucers placed ltp. to lip, and was all black. He estimated its size as t.bout 5 teet 1ri .diameter.

Ge-ry is tbt! youngest of 8 childran, and an avid science stuc..~nt. However, b1s father pointed out, the lad has never been known to make u~ ·stories. "And besidl!S," the elder Green shrug<ed~ "there must have bee.' something because I heard it, too." '!'he Green rarm is locat~d one mile 10uth of · l{orway Lakn Road a·bout i-mile east of" ·b1ghway 71. .

Y C C ON!V~c ..,..,cuT R I!'PoJ?T"S ~ Hickey ~~stein writes to tell us ot recent sightings in his area:

At the beginning of December, 1964, a Plymouth, Conn. nurse, who lives in _. a wooded section and owns the nearby woods, was talking on the telephone . to a friond when she noticed a bright white light descending into the woods (time~ ahout 10:00 pm). She got into her jeep and attempted to locate tbe · land1D& uite of the light. On her way through the woods, she was um.ble to find 11n;yth1ng, however, on her lf8.'1 back she saw a blinding whit• cb~ect about 50 teet in diameter hovering above the ground. Shielding her. eyes rrom the glare, she became aware tba·t she could hear no .sound, not even that· of her jeep. She wears a hearing aid and some unknown forc.e, supposec!l.J trom the UFO, affected the mechanism of the hearing aid, rendering it . 1neffecttve. She then returned, after watching the object suddenly take jff and f.oom over her head, to her bouse, am, badly frightened, called ner sistEr.

rhe sistEr and her husband• a Bristol, Conn. doctor, inves.tigated the s~te •11one ane found two holes about 2 feet apart and 4 - 5 inches deep. They . ·.1ere rectangular and e.xact in form am were made in a rockhard soil tbat ·yas· quite frozen. Searching further, they discovered what appeared t~ be rt freshly burned area near where the UFO was said to have landed.

~Jnfortunately Mickey was not able to ge~ down to the s i te, since he ~as ~ntormed ~r the sighting 2 weeks after it occurred, and a series or w~ekend ~nowstorms prevented him from making _ the trip~ until it would have be~n 'i lseless.

Hickey also adds •••

nrn late January, there was a series of U!"O sight1ngs in the Hartford., ·Cvnnectic ·.1t area. I investigated the · one in my home towtL, ''est Hartford. ~~o teena~ers heard a whirring sound and looked up to spot a silvery disk

This sighting was qu1.te similar to tle half-dozen .· ~ 1gbt1ngs during that week 1n January in Hartford, Glastonbury and Rocky . '!rill." .

HOUSTON, JUne 9 -- Neither or the two satellites that Maj. James A. MCDivitt r~ported seeing and photo­graphing trom the Gemini 4 space­eratt can be found on film, the space agency said today.

A caretul ins-pection of all still and movie tilms returned from the rour-day !light has failed to reveal ""·nytbing ·that resembles a picture of a satellite", a National Aeronau­tics and s , ace Administration spokes­man said.

~Jor YcD1~1~t reported last Friday that be bad seen "for just a minute" a satellit~ that looked like nit had b i-g arms s ·:icking out of it".

• I aot a couple ot pictures of it with t he movie ~amera and one with the ~sselblad~ , Najor McDivitt reported to Maj. Vi~gil I. Grissom as the Gt·mini 4 passed over Houston.

«But I was in tree drift and before I could get the control back, I drift­·~ into th~ sun and lost it.n

tater, Major McDivitt reported that the satellt te ·seemed to be 10 mtles or so away ~ He added: "I was close enought that I could see • • ·" Then tt.e transm:\.ssion became . garbled. CC'mmunicat:ions were resumed but no mere was a:~d about wba t he saw.

•I took a ;)icture. I just hope it comes out, 1' the astronaut said.

"So do we, ~ his ground controller replied.

S&turday n~ght the Gemini pilot re­pcrted seei ng another satellite, qt=.1 te a bi {~ farther away than the first one had been. He said, ae­cc-rding to a ground station, that ·~e took a shot with his camera."

ftP.e doesn't know how good it will be," the spokesman added.

Reports have been published and broadcast i n the last few days that what the G€min1 pilot saw was a a111tar.y reconna.1sanoe satellite and

2l'ld edition

consequent1y, that the space agency was saying as little about the sight­ing as possible.

Asked about these reports, a spokesman ror the agency said today:

nwe don't know what he saw. 'l'he North American Air Defense Command reported everything that was near him in the skY 1 and dintt leave anything out.

"NA~A would reveal and will reveal aey knowledge 1 t has or that shows up about what McDivitt saw."

The Department or Defense asked to have a representative look at the films and the space agency allowed him to do so, the spokesman sai d. He said that the Defense Department did not request that a~ pictures be wi th­held from the public.

Margie Katz, YC Boston, points out. that, when the s1ght1ngs were brought up at the nationally-televised Houston press conference, the matter was dealt with lightly and the subJect QU1ckly dropped. There is also the unconfirm­ed report that a Russian cosmonaut saw an un1dentitied object.

Since both the photos were reported to have been failures (although only one was explained) the public will probably learn nothing more ot the sightings.

It would, however, be most 1nterest1ng to know why the Defense Departoent should wish to examine pictures which have railed to show any "satellites" .

YC New YorA /?e-porfs g Bill Mitchell bas handled several sightings in the past few months.

In. one, tbore were 7 witnesses, most of them amateur astronomers. It occurred on December 19, 1964 (night of total eclipse of the moon) when observers ~t Brooklyn College, Brooklyn~ N. Y. made tbree sightings, each 2 atnntes ~part. The first was at 9:13 pm.

The second sighting was also made at Brooklyn College, about 9:00 pm, in· the aiddle of Kay, 1965. Reveral amateur astronomers sig-hted a tJ!PO through a 40x teleEcope. It appeared as a star to the naked eye bu~ through the telescope lt was disc-shaped. It performed stopping and starting m~euvers as well.

-The following is condensed from the N. Y. Time!! of iliay 2, 1965:

A group ap}:<.linted by the National Academy or Sciences at the request of · NASA reported in late April to th~ Academy: ~Given all the evidence present­lY available we believe it entirely reasonable that Yars is inhabited by li·rinc organisms and that life indepemently originated there." The 36 .a.etnber group, which included 3 Nobel Prize winners, contained skeptics; such as some who refused to accept spectroscopic avidence hinting at life. Tb-~1r Yiew on this matter is now widely accepteti. The Panel urged that the close approaches of Mars at roughly 2 ye~r intervals from 1969 - 1973~ be ~;en adYantage of. It urged that instrumented vehicles be fired into ·orbit aroun·i liars starting in 1969, and that an "automated biological lnb­orutory" oa~ be landed at the planet's approach in 1971 or 1973.

He said it occupied a space o~ about 10 1~ches across in the centre r ght portion of the carts windshield. The object was said to be traYell1ng relativelJ slowly, "not as fast as a meteorite would go".

'rhe s1ght1Dg was reported to RCAF Station Baldy Hughes and in turn to USAF Unidentified Flying Object personnel in Seattle.

~om the C1t1&en, JUne 9, 1985:

A Prince C-eorge aan•s report that he saw a strange object .rlash oYer the c~ntral B. c. late sunday night may have ended up in Washington.

But wbate~er the strange object was that the man aM. his family spotted a·~ midnight SUnday, it has been around before. The man, arriving home after the sighting or the object about 20 m:lles west ot Prince George on Highway 16, telephoned RCAP' Station Baldy HUgl:.es. From there, his call was "patched through" to KcChord Air P'orce Base in Seattle, which is sector command post tor Baldy HUghes in the North American Air Defence network.

Kcebor4 pe~sonnel in turn sent the report along to MORAD headquarters in Colorado S?rings. Most unidentified tlring object reports which stand up to caretul scrutiny finally go to USAF headquarters for turther study by

team sttny1ng UFO sightings.

And then a housewife, who like the man prefer~ to remain anonymous, said tLia mor~ she spotted an ooject at midnight Thursday (JUne 3), which cl.osel.J re.1embled the one described in the oriiinal report.
