 A Look Into The Past
by
W.c. Peavler

Concern in the "Flying Saucers" is occasionaly

present with the soluble concept that man, throu�h
tradition, remain satisfied with his pere nnia l
course and immutable from orthodox reality.

Modern science has been instrumental in clar­

ifying the un-natural to such degree th�t skeptic
and credulous are begining to unite in agreement
that what is un-feasible today, may well be proven
scientific fact tomorrow.

Countless legends of supernatural talent of

which we have been compelled to ridicule, commence
to reveal meaning and would c�use one to ponder,
if they are not but historic remnants of a by1�one
culture, an era perhaps, when mental telepathy was
exercised as commonly as the present day telephone.

The criticism held for those endowed with

Zxtra Sensory P erception h�s been �n act of ignor­
ance, for what we termed a farce, science terms
a fact. It would seem that from the phenomenal­
istic Saucer narrative, stems an analogy with re­
semblance to exalted abilities lost to us through
co.nquest of' time.

Prophetic literature, once intagible and

me�ningless, through research becomes enlightened
and accepted--but is soon forgotten to rest upon
a dusty shelf. Mute testimony of' an advanced
civilization lost in antiquity, where generations
lived, worshipped, and struggled to record the
science of' a dying era that posterity might bene­
fit.

Sanskrit, acclaimed the worlds most ancient

and perfect tongue, versed with today1s knowledge,
discloses a pa s t civilization whose shadows were
ancient when our age began. That this remote lang­
ua�e, thousands of' years old, quotes o� the past,
translations oC compiled and comprised docterine
like the atomic structure of matter--the relativ-
C o n t i nu a d

ity of time and space and a delineation of

Celestial Flying Ships which p�rallel sightings
of what we term today--"Flying Saucers"--is of'
unique signifiganoe.

It would appear that we are within that

moment between the past and the future, where a
ripening of progress suggestive of past history
will carry us into a realm of such f'antastio
proportion, thnt only the extremely broad minded
can review with tolerance a momentous sequel of
the p�st, where space was conquered to such an
extent that colonies expanded the universe

World conditions and a universal mind may

be approaching a climax, whereby suitable contact
with earth and it1s inhabitants is the ultimate
purpose of those who have been witnessing our
growth from the earliest origin. Further evidence
of this concurs with many reports of psychic
visions and telepathic messages, recieved in con­
junction with Saucer sightings.

That we have not had total confirmation of

contacts, implies the urge to with-hold panic
from those who �re incapable of comprehending such
a concept. However, psychologically, the road is
being paved and in the not to dist�nt future, all
may realize with humility thet we are not alone,
and that life prevails boundless regions of space,
infinitely.

Disembodiment Of Man For Space Travel Seen

William P. Lear, chairman of the board of

Lear Inc., predicted tonight that man some day
will travel by being "broken up into vibrations
and relayed eleotronically." Scientists today know
that matter is oomposed of vibrations, Vibrations
can be sent over wires or electronic-waves like
sound images. Therefore, the human body, �1ich is
matter, can be broken up into vibrations and relay­

be l iev e, Lear s a id, that before space travel is
d e ve lop ed someone lri.ll come up with a way to
devibrate the human body, relay it by wires or
w.aves and revibrate it at the piont of destin­
ation.

This mode of t ra ve l would be almost instan­

On December 16, 1954, I was dub iously fort­

unate to have o bserve d a "UFO" in the s k i es over
A�p le Valley, California, near Victorville. I
:feel that I have had enough experience �lith :fly.ing ,
radar navigation and observing to qualify for re­
porting the :folloldng incident with near accuracy.
I am certain that the phenomena ��s of a ta ng i bl e
nature with dimensions that were rea l , though un ­

b e li e v a bl e.

The object �s cigar shaped, of' extr emel y

bright silvery �aterial. It r e mained stationary
at an alt i t ude of' approximately 25,000 feet, almo$t
directly above the App l e Valley Inn, !'rom ab o ut
six o'clock P.M. of the 16th u nt i l almost noon of
the following day. Th a t night the object appeared
as a reddish-orange glow, but when the sun came
up in the morning, the object became silvery. It
was easily visible with th&�" na!<ed eye. I observed
it in the reorning with a p a ir oC 7 X SO binoculars
and w.as able to make out quite a bit oC the detail.

This object must have been about two and �.

as long as a B- 29. There ltrcre two wind­
ha l :f times
ows or ports at one end near the bottom. It se e m ed
seperated th rou gh the length with a single row of

bolts or small holes.

There were a��roximately fifty people Who

observed the same thing that I didi among them
were two deputy sheriffs fron Victorville, a
medical doctor, the manager of the Apple V a lley
Inn and most of its employees, and at l e a st
twenty guests at the Inn. The �uthorities were
repeatedly called at George Air Base, which is
just four .niles from Victorville. The only ans­
wer that could be obtained at the time was that
they had planes ( jets) in the area and were
investigating. They assured any callers that it
l-ras not e wee_ ther bC'.lloon or similiar object
but beyond that they would say nothing. The
following day they denied the whole incident and
denied that any inquiries had ever been made by
all of these people.

In the eqrly morning there were jets all

over the place. One vapor trail was visible flying
directly over the object at about 35,000 fe et . The
jet �msn1t visible with the naked eye but could be
seen with bin o cul a r s. The pilot of that jet could­
n't have avoided seeing the object.

One of the guests of the Inn took some pict­

ures of the object Wh ich , I later learned, were
taken from him by the authorities.

On Friday the 17th, I returned to Lo s Angeles

and gave a full a c count of th e experience to Mr.
Paul.Coates of the Mirror-News. Ho immediately
beg a n to check my story and verified e verything
that I had told him.

The only satisfaction that he \�S able to

get was from two non-commissioned officers who
admitted knowing about the reports, but made the
bad mistake of telling Mr. Coates of their know­
ledge. They suddenly \\rere incommunicado at the
Air Base.

Sighting Reports

Gra�enwohr, Germany

On SundayMay 1st, 1955 I saw a "Flying Sau­

cer". I observed this UFO for about ten minutes.
At :first :r saw a bright light al1nost due north at
about 500 feet up. I� you would hold your hand
at arms length, three �ingers span would just
cover it.

The only form that I could observe �s spher­

ical. It made no noise that I could hear and had
no tail or exhaust that was visible to me. The
UFO made �our horizontal uasses at a slow (100
-
M.P.H.) speed. It hovered occasionally. Finally
it slo't,rly started up in a north- east direction. It
picked up speed and soon w.as traveling up and aw.ay
�rom me at a great speed. Soon it looked like a
star. However, if you observed closely you could
see it getting smaller and smaller and traveling
in a very slight, almost minute, s�iraling motion.
I:f it ever changed color from its bright white, I
did not observe it.

I have two reliable �dtnesses beside myself,

and they were not believers in UF01s. They are
n ot talking about it. It seems as though they do
not want to believe what they saw. But they did
see it.

There is no chance of it being an a i rplane

or a helicopter, because t-re nre only a few miles
�rom the Russian sector and there can be no fly­
ing at night over this area.

This all happened about one hour after sun­

set. The town of Grafenwohr is not to far from
Weiden, a larger tol'm than Grafenl��Tohr. I can say
now that I believe there are unidentified flying
objects.

O n .January .5th, 19.5.5 at 4:1t.S P.M. l\Jhile I

was on my w.ay home I was driving nor th on Eagle
Rock Road in Los An g e l es. When I got in front of
4680 Eagle Rock Road I ha d the impression some­
thing ��s falling in fro n t of me. I slammed on
my brakes so rapidly t ha t my car skidded side­
ways and partially blocked the s treet. I opened
the door of my car and ge t ting ou t ori the l e f t

It did not appear aerodynamic in shape or s truc t­
ure and excep t for some light grey lines on the
upper part of it, i t did no t appear to be any thing
I had ever seen or been a wa re of before. As I w.as
parked across th e street partially blocking pass­
age, other cars stopped behind me and at least
one � e rson (in the car directly behind) got out
oC his car and joined me as we watched this obj­
ect. Up to this point I was only curious as to
what i t wa. s •

Suddenly i t moved. No t as any thing I have

ever seen move, t ha t is, slowly gaining s�eed
and then set tling down to a steady speed; b u t it's
movement was more like the movement of a search­
light across the sky. It moved parralel to Eagle
Rock Road and comple ted the dis tance from over my
head to being out of sight in p e rha p s a second or
two. At the time I firs t saw this objec t I was
not over fiC ty Ce et and possibly as little as
t we nty five f ee t Crom being directly under it.

It's si z e appeared to be about tha t of an

beginning to light the horizo n.

The first sighting made on the ninth of

April• 19S5, was at one th ir ty o ne A.M. At
that time we observed a rust colored light,
round in shape, and co vered with, or surrounded
by, a misty cloud •moving away from our post.
• •

Xt was very low, perhaps abo ut 1,500 to 2,000

�eet up. The thing moved sl o wl y out·over Lake
Champlain, headed in the direction o� Grand
Island, Vermont. It banked to the left, and we
could see that Whatever it w,as, it w,as shaped
r ound . It seemed to diminish in brightness, and
�ent down behind the ridge of mountains on the
Vermont side of the lake.

We figured that the unknown object touched

land in the area of Grand Isle. I checked with
the V�rmont State Police and called the Civil
Defense office in the general area of Grand
Isle.,but no one reported seeing the thing.

The second in a series of' the three seperate

sightings of UF01s that day, April 9, 1955, was
made at )s34 a.m. This time we watched an odd
vapor trail stretched across the sky, and traced
it to an odd thing that just hung in the sky.
It was shaped like a pencil or cigar. It gave of�
green light around the edges, and glot,red bright
gold , or yellow, in the middle. The object was
visible right until the sunrise.

The third, and most spectacular sighting �s

madG at 4sl0 a.m. Thi s time, we had signed-out
the post with Albany Filter Center, and had waited
around due to a strange glow o f� to t h e north­
east, as if there wa s a fire on the horizon over
in the Ver m o nt area. There was no �ire reported,
or plane crash, or anything else unusual. We che­
cked on the later. But, to get back to the sight­
ing at that time • the other observer called to
• •

my attention an unusually bright object that was

entirely motionless in the sky to the east, over
the Grand Island, Vermont area. I told him, per-

Sighting Reports

haps it was a star. But he said in all the hours

he had been on watch, he had never s een the object.
We wa t c he d it, and played a pair o� Binoculars ·on
it. We then saw that it was beg�nning to change
color. It changed from incandescent white, to gre- .
enish-White, to a pinkish colo r , to red, then to
a sort o:f blue, and then back to White. I could
have had more witnesses if I had called someone on
the phone on the ne x t floor down, Which is open to
pub li c use, but at the time, neither of us thought
of' this.

Ve observed the object as it changed colors,

and then it began rising straight up. We put the
pGst back into operation, and described the object
to the Cilter center downstate, and they told us
they wanted to connect us wi th the Radar Station
the USAF operates in St. Albans, Vt., but we could­
n 't hear What they were saying. The telephone lin e s
f'rom Plattsburg t o the Burling areas (where the
f'ilter center is located) were staticy for some
unknown reason. The person on the other end could­
n't hear us, and we couldn't h e ar him.

Ye stuck with it, a n d waited until the sun

came up • • • at Which time the object had risen to
about 60,000 or 70,000 feet. The sun th e n blotted
out the object. But While we watched it through the
Binocula rs , we got a good pi c ture
in our minds of
what it looked like. We watched the thing for over
an hour as it hov e r e d a nd rose about :four miles
f'rom us.

Through binoculars, the object '�S shaped like

an inverted desert dish. It glowed deep red on top,
had Clanged rims along the bottom. It gave off a
green vapor in a seri e s oC eight exhaust-like trai l­
ings underneath and gave off a brilliant yellow
light underneath that obscured other distinguishable
fea tu res in the underside. There were three aper­
tures near the top of the dish. No noise '�s h ea r d
during its first v isi t • • • or its last.

Food For Thought

When the earth was young its shape was more

like a disc than a sphere and its rotation very
swift. Mountains of snow and ice pulled up at the
poles to spread over the polar lands. At that time
the axes of rotation were perpendicular to the or�
1 tal plane around the sun. This prevented the sun'-.
rays from melting the gro�dng ice caps. Heat rad­
iated through the thin crust melting and arching a
ceiling in the fro�en mass at its terminus with
the earth. In time weight became so great, the ict
caps split open and flattened, or UFO personel
cont�lled a force that cracked them� The ceiling�
gave way and fell against the polar areas with a -
force sufficient enough to buldge the equatorial
belt. The rapid transfer of pressure hurled the
moon and complimentary matter into space. Either
the earth captured the moon in its gravitational
orbit or the UF01s, by their apparent control of
gravity, determined its location for some future
purpose Which they may be realizing now while the
earth1s military might spends millions on plans to
launch an artificial satellite to subdue and polio
the world. They, the " Flying Saueers", seem to be
"
a few jumps ahead of' us. Or should we say, "flips

Some of the ejections fell back at irregular

times to dent the earth While the moon in its hot
and plastic state was pelted with much of the same
materials that followed it from the earth. The
amount of substance spewed into s�ace at that time
could have been enormous. Plant or animal life,
hunks of land, huge volumes of water, volcanic dus
and smoke� Debris of this eruption may still be
traveling in undetermined orbits connected with ou:
solar system. The earths spin whipped the ice caps
along well watered courses to slush over the acute
curve of the earth's disc. Here they were finally
engaged by the direct rays of the sun to melt and
recede.

The sudden shift of surface weight made the

earth pull in its equatorial belt1 diminish its

the distance each succeeding glacier could travel,

shaped the world into the �resent spheroid.

An uneven break of the ice pack sends un­

equal masses sliding to�mrds the equator to un­
balance the earth and tilt it �nth respect to the
solar plane through Which it rotates. Could this
have been planned by space intelligence for the
purpose of giving the earth changing seasons of
the year.

Discoveries in Northern Siberia suggest

tropical life was caught by a sudden rush of w.ater.
The outline of physical mechanics mentioned above
may b e as acceptable as any in relation to this
incident.

The current arrival of space bodies in un­

precidented numbers may prove the existance of a
spac� patrol-that has been active for centuries
in warding off many unrealized earth calamaties,
even if the forces they control are not as yet
within our normal ability to comprehend.

When unusual phenomena and disasters have

been recorded in connection with lights in the sky,
it is possible some UFO intelligence was trying
to alter t he course of st ones, ice, large bodies
of water or trash sweeping into our atmosphere.
That intelligence may now be aware of not only the
menace to physical endurance from atomic bombs,
experiments, and undestroyable radio-active by­
products in commercial projects, but an accumu­
lation of natural pressures that is threatening
the populations along the sinking coast lines of
the sphere. As some scientists have claimed, some
of the high water on the eastern coast of America
may be due to t he melting polar ice caps by reason
of t he earth becoming less flattened at the poles
to recieve more sunshine, however, the big factor
is the t ransfer of land masses to oceans by rivers
and the earth's flexibility in balancing itself.

the Attacl<" has supplie d us with a truthful report
o� his e xperience with "Flying Saucers", then we
are being observe d by an intelligence that can
make gravity void. In as much as centuries of
erosion have placed strains upon the contine nt,
the intelligence behind the UF01s could place a
degravitational function that would strike America
in its weake st spot to erupt the continent at a
time of their choosing, and that would probably be
to stop an atomic war, If they should'decide it
was time for America's war plants to go, they
could probably degravitate the Mississippi valley
to sink the war industrie s of the east coast as
easily as they could destroy the atomic plants in
Russia, and Great Britain Which was claimed in AP
dispatches from Geneva at the meeting of the big
four. Then, too, the y may suspect an impending
geological change that is closer than anyone wishe[
to think �nd are trying in various manuvers to cal�
our attention to it.

Is there anything in the north and south land

barriers of the e arth that is nee de d for our pro­
tection against tides that would swe ep around the
earth? Hundreds of years ago when lands sank in
both the Pacific and Atlantic oceans a voiding of
gravity north and south in the Western He misphere
at the time may have controlled the e ruptions for
our protection, for which we should probably e xp­
ress thanks to the UFO.

Lastly, we should not overlook the possibilit)

that there may have been, and may still be a
struggle going on be tween malicious and beneficial
factions to control the e arth and humanity's think­
ing. One may be trying to incide us to destroy our•
se lve s and the other is trying to ke e p us from it.
The achie vement in the degrading business of corr­
uption and war may put leaders and nations in a
tough spot should the bene factors win out and a
balance is struck. Continued

So in the chal l e ng e of Mr. Jessup for us to

think, there is a possible answer to the inquiry
as to "What are UFO's? Some UFO's may be mal icious
s ymbols of a l l the evils men have devised for pun­
ishment to one another. On the other hand ma ny of
them may be evidence of perfection. A perfection
obtained only When we aquire enough trlsdom to ob­
serve the rights of others and devise a p l an Where­
by we work, and live in harmony with eaeh other,

Saucer Has Near Col l i si o n With Jet Fighter

October 14, 1954-A British pilot, on a routine

flight over Essex, England had a near collision
with a Saucer. He was flying south, enjoying per­
fect weather, When all at once two ob�ects, Which,
first looked like a co up l e meteors, appeared in
the distance at an altitude of 16,000 feet. The
objects were traveling in a northerly direction.

Swinging his plane in fo r a better look, the

pilot described the objects as resembling a bun
with a colar, or like a saucer. They were silver
and gold in color. One o� the Saucers continued
on it1s way, and the other made a quick pass at the
jet plane causeing a near collision. The p ilot said
the object was about 150 feet in diameter.

 The Gyrating UFO 0� Cobalt
by
Morris Woodley

Reprinted �rom 11Fat�1 magazine by permission o�

The two men watched the round,

bright object shuttle back and �orth
in the sky. What did its strange actions mean?

On the night o� December 2? 1 19.54, a n unusual

saucer sighting took place at the Agaunica Cobalt
Mine on the shore o� Lake Timiskaming, three miles
�rom the northern Ontario mining town of Cobalt.
Cobalt once was �amous �or its silver mines but
recently it has been enjoying a boom in the mining
o� cobalt, an element now used in atomic research
and in making possible cobalt bomb treatment o�
cancer.

The only man on duty at the mine on this

particular night was Willis St. Jean. All the
other employees were celebrating the holiday sea­
son. St. Jean is employed at the mine as a hoist­
man, a job which requires an exacting and reliable
person. He was on duty this night as watchman and
had le�t the hoist room to go to the building
where the miners change their clothing--called the
ndry"--to cheok the �ires.

A�ter making his rounds, St. Jean le�t the

ndryn to return to the hoistroom which was some
200 �eet away and 40 feet up the side o� a rocky
slope. The night was clear and cold. St. Jean was
pulling his jacket collar up around his neck when
suddenly he was startled by a brilliant light that
seemed to bathe the entire scene.

Looking up, he saw a huge, round, bright

object about 150 �eet above his head. It was about
100 �eet in diameter, silver blue in color and
seemed to be shimmering or to be constantly in
motion. From the center o� the object came a shaft
o� light which lit up the entire area.

The Gyrating UFO Of Cobalt

Fear clutched at him, St. Jean said later.

Overcoming his paralysis, he ran for his car "to
get out of there before it got me."

He reached the car and realized that the

object really showed no signs of being dangerous.
He peered up at it again and saw it was still
hovering in the same place. After about five
minutes the light, whi�h was shining downward,
shot up into the air and the object·began to
move out over the lake in a gyrating fashion, as
if making a continuous series of e's. In a minute
or two the object ceased these gyrations and began
climbing at a 30 9-egree angle until it seemed
about 1,000 feet over an island in the lake, where
it again hovered motionless.

At this point St. Jean ran into the mine

office and called John Hunt, the Northern Corre­
spond�nt·for the North Ba·y Daily Nugget. After
listening to St. ·Je an's breathless account, Hunt,
�mo is much respected locally, jumped into the
Nugget truck and drove to the mine. By this time
the object started to move away again. It began
climbing steeply and at an extremely high speed.

At about 10,000 feet it began moving in a

straight line from east to west. It moved through
an angle of 45 degrees and was the size of a
quarter held at arms len?th. At the western end
of the run, said John Hunt, it nchanged shape
slightly and went out, giving one the impression
that it h�d banked. " It then reappeared at the
eastern end of the run, slightly to the north of
its starting point, then travelled westward again.
It changed shape and disappeared, then reappeared
at the start of another run, again slightly north
of the second run. This was repeated 10 times,
then the object remained still.

Hunt and St. Jean went to the ndry 11 to l�rm

up. Here St. Jean told Hunt that he had counted
10 red lights out on the surface of the frozen
lake. Hunt climbed a ladder but by that time he

eould see only one light. Did these ten red lights
correspond in any way to the parallel runs that
the object had made at high altitude?

The two men called their families. Two car­

loads of people drove out from Cobalt and watch­
ed the object as it hovered in the air. It was
observed for over an hour before it finally disa­
ppeared.

Hunt said, "A s far as I'm concerned, a

"Flying Sa.uver" �ras here and I saw it."

To Whom It may Concern

For hundreds of years the people of the plane·

Earth have been led to believe, through the teach­
ings of some astronomers,and others, that we are
living on the one planet, the one world containing
life. Despite the fact that space ships have been
seen in our atmosphere for more than two hundred
years, the know-nots continue to peddle their one­
world, no life elsewhere theory.

The sudden appearance of Interplanetary Air­

craft in large numbers in 1947 put a pinhole in
the blind�old which has been held over the eyes o�
those who are eager to learn more and more about
our great universe. Many of these students of spac<
have accepted with open minds the staggering, but
not �rightning news that We Are Not AloneJ while
others, who, I �m sure, w�t� knOw the truth,
retain their blindfolds for foar of criticism from
their friends, or from leaders of certain organiz­
ations. Life is not confined to our planet, you
Continued

To Whom It May Concern

can be sure ef that. To follow the teachings of

the one-worlders is like following the leader
over the cliff of untruth and blind living.

We are now entering the ninth year of the

great "Flying Saucer 11 drama.· In a few years, the
modern airplane of today will give way te space
ships, aircraft designed to make trips to other
planets, other life bearing worlds.

The traditional one-world is no longer

with us. Pull off the blindfoldt You are missing
the greatest event in the history of our planet.

Fireballs Over Washington, Oregon, Canada

A·bright object·which-zrpped through the

skies over Washington and portions of Britssh
Columbia on July 20th, apparently was a fire­
ball. The object, described by one witness as
green with a blue glow and shooting flames,
apparently headed in a southwest to northeast
direction. A control-tower operator at the
Seattle-Tacoma International airport was among
many Seattleites seeing the �ireball. ..

The following night, Northwest re�idents

from Ashland, Oregon to Tacoma, Washington watched
a fireball flash across the sky from east to west
and disappearing on the horizon. Reports from
Portland, Eugene and Tacoma varied as to the
color of the fireball. Colors ranged from blue­
white to fiery red--but all agreed it left a
luminous trail and traveled in a westerly direct­
ion. A Medford, Oregon observer said it appeared
to explode before vanishing in the west. The
witness, Mrs. E. D. Berry, said it was straight
above the city.

 What's With The Green Fi r e Balls?

Since December 1945, sh or tly after the first

ato mi c explos ions in New Mexico and Gver Japan,
the s kies ove r America , the s outhwes t section in
particula r, have been literally b� the d with dozens
of Unidentified Flying Objects called "Green Fire­
balls". These strange obj e cts , not meteorological
in origin, move with supersonic speeds, traveling
s traight AS a bullet, in hor izonta l flight. They
have been s een to explode in a brilliant display
of light, giving off absolutly no sound.

In 1948 thes e fireballs came so thick and

fast that in 1 949 the u. s. Air Foree set up an
inves tigating board called "Project Twinkle." The
results of their investigations have not been made
public. Thes e fireballs h�ve been seen as fa r east
as Maryland, as far north as Seattle, and southeas
to Puerto Rico. Their appearance in our skies has
dropp e d in number, but their uncanny actions ha v e
not changed.

In ma ny newspaper reports it has been conclu­

ded that the fireballs �re nothing more than larg e
meteors. Nothing could be further from the truth.
To elaborate on the s ubject, I would like to state
that:
Normal Fireb�lls;
1. Do not appear green .
2. Generally, they give off a tremendo u s
s ound when in flight.
3. They leave particles in a rea s where they
hit or explode.

The Gre en Fireballs;

1. Are a bright green.
2. Do not make s ound of any ki nd • .

3. Do not leave tra�es of tell tale sub­

s tance after exploding.
4. Travel in a horizontal f light .
s. Have been seen in flight as long as four
ty seconds before exploding.

IC these objects were met&orites they would

not t r � vel hori zontaly , nor would they be in sight
