We ask again for that First L ady' s gracious attention to certain matters which we believe, as in years gone by, will be of interest to her, also today. Our Open Letter we respectfully address to - Her Majesty, Queen Juliana of t he Netherlands . An open Letter SOESTD IJK PALACE, SOES TD IJ K, H OLLAND. JUN E 1967. To Her Majesty, Queen Juliana. Your Majesty, We venture to approach you on a matter which we believe wi ll be of some interest to you, the sub j ect being one of immense importance, bearing as it does imp li cat io ns of a nature which might well affect in the future every aspect of human endeavour on this Earth. The subject of which we speak has once before been broug ht to You r Majesty's attent ion, and, we understand , received caref ul consideration; in fact, it is in t he be li ef that Yo ur Majest y has shown more than usual interest that we make this approach to day. May we , with respect, ask you to cast your mind back 8 years. In May of 1959, Your Majesty was pleased to request the presence of Mr. George A damski, of California, at Soestdijk Palace. Mr. A damski was at that time on a wor ld lecture-tour. This gentleman had an unusual story to tell . He spoke of visitations to this planet by human beings from outer space. H e spoke of kind hum an bei ngs who had travelled in their spaceships, often called " flying saucers", from their home planets in our so lar system , from Venus , from Saturn, Mars and others. T heir understanding was far ahead of our own , their si ncere interest in our we lfare was part of a philosophy of brotherhood and love for all of the Creator' s W orks. T his was George Adamski 's story. In 1959, t he sub j ect of fl yi ng saucers was consid ered by the majority to be laughable. Any attempt to discuss t he possibi lity of beings technologica ll y superior to us, visiti ng Earth in space craft trave ll ing at fantastic speeds, was t o dismiss all the sc ientif ic concepts of the day. Indeed, in 1959, scientists were only beginning to accept the remote possibility of " some form " of life , - and a one-cell life, at that, - existing anywhere at all outside of Earth . And any suggestion that intelligent beings existed who had progressed past the stages of wars and poverty and racial intolerance, was to speak of H eaven itself. Now, in 1967, many things have changed. The maj ority still laughs, yes. B ut one sees in the ever expanding minority a level of radical but intelligent thought which would have been branded a "heresy " against the who le Establishment just a few years ago. With our own greatly-increased space activity and the near-proximity of an Earthman's landing on the Moon , ideas have had to change along with the immense changes in the means of travel. What modern science has yet to discover, how ever, is an antidote to the enormously swo ll en ego of " Earth - man " which has gained nothing from the discoveries of Galileo other than a list of changed astronomical data and some very basic facts con cerning the solar system in which we live . What they have not yet learned from the " here tica l" reve lations of Galileo is that scientific " fact " of today is not necessarily scientific " fact " of to morrow ; that they, too , these modern scientists, may be called upon - and perhaps very soon - to change all previous concepts of astro nomical physics and to accept that Earth-man is not, after all , alone in the Un iverse. One of the pioneers in this school of thought was George Adamski. Since his passing , in April 1965, others have come forward to carry on his work . Madam, on severa l occasio ns in the years since 1959, Mr. Adamski was give n t he opportu nity of phot ograp hing some of t hese space craft on movie-fi lm. These films have been show n widely in the United Stat es and in certain cou ntries in Europe. They have been viewed by persons in authority, including ex perts in many fie lds , as well as by millions of the general pub lic by way of television. The extraterrestrial human beings of whom Mr. Adamski spoke are still operating in the same patt ern . Several of his helpers have been privi leged to meet these people. New co lour movies have been taken of the ir ships, on occasion with th e deliberat e connivance of the pi lots of the craft concerned . An American lady, Mrs . Madelei ne Rodeffer, and two Germanborn , naturalised Americans , Mr. and Mrs. Fred Steck ling, have been privi leged not on ly to meet these friends from other planets but they have also been enabled to photograph t he movement of their craft on colour-film . All of th ese fil ms have been viewed by perso ns in authority, including photographic experts of t he U.S . Nat ional A ero naut ics and Space A gency, (NASA), and they have yet to be faulted . Madam, the reason for our approach in this Open Letter is this. Having heard from Mr. Adamski first hand of hi s experiences, wou ld Your Majesty care once more to hear of the visitations of the Brothers and Sist ers who befriended hi m? They have made themselves known to others ; there are courageous ,_ messages to trusted UFO worke rs on Earth, and for other specific purpo ses. Most of us have re ad accounts written by people claiming to have recei ved messages , both garbled and clear, from the Space Brothers via ham radios , tensor-coil experi ments, etc. , or of seeing spacemen or other uniden tified phenomena on their television screens. There was one amusing story of a man who fe ll asleep whi le watching a late, late movie on television and awoke several hours later to find himself stari ng at a strange, other-wor ld face on his TV screen! He was so sc ared , he snapped off the TV set - and sold it the next day! Then there are cases of people hearing messages and celestia l music on the ir tape recorders. Only recently, Fate magazine publ ished a letter received from Myra Dee H ina of Sacrame nto , California, in which she stated that while attempting to record a new song she had created with the help of numerology, i.e., »notes forming the vibration of each word« , on a brand new tape bought at a local store, she proceeded to pick the notes out on an organ and sing them on to the tape . She goes on to say: »I then went to turn off the tape recorder and fou nd it had stop ped. I reset it and played the notes over again . Whe n I returned to t he recorder to stop it, some sort of a force field seemed to appear. I could see it and feel it with my hands. It gave me the same sensation as if I held two repelling magnets. Wondering why such a co ndition existed, I stood and let the machine run on. When I no longer fe lt the force fie ld, I ran the tape back to replay. My voice was c lear, the notes were clear - but I was shocked beyo nd words when a beautiful orchestra began playing the very theme I had created. it lasted a long per iod, over 35 minutes. It is poss ible that t he recorder somehow picked up music out of the air. There was no other instrument in the house, the tape was new and I ran it around 12 o'c lock midnight. I've tried to repeat this strange incident several times , but nothing has happened . In addi tion to the music on the tape, a voice speaks in a language I never heard before. Several persons who have li ste ned to the tape say they have a weird feeling whi le it is playing «. A Warning V ia Ham Rad io. Whi le, even wit h an open mind, we cannot, un derstandab ly, vouch for the veracity of all these claims , we can quote a coup le of experiences of this nature which happened to our founder, the late Wi lbert 8 . Sm ith , during his long and intensive study of the UFO Mystery.. W BS, as most of you know, was fi rst and foremost a scientist, and he never accepted anything without carefu l checks and cross -checks and only by this method was he rea sonably sure of his ground . But undoubtedly, he received c lear-cut messages and confirmations on a variety of scientific and philosophical matters from his space friends , the »Boys from Topside«, through a number of different media. One of these sources was a local ham radio operator who, it must be clearly stressed , knew little if anything about Mr. Smith 's work or scientific experiments and most of the messages he received for Wi lbert Smith , on an unidentified waveband, were complete ly unintelligible to hi m - althoug h they made a lot of sense to WBS. By this means and with t he usual , requested con firmation from other sources , Wilbert Smith received a lot of invaluab le gu idance in his scie nt ific work. The most dramatic incident, however, occurred when WBS and a small work ing party of th e then Ottawa Flying Saucer Club were preparing to test out an exper imental mach ine th ey had bui lt. Just prior to this test, the Boys from Topside broke into the ham radio operator's listening , blanking out all other stations and repeating insistently that they had an urgent message for Wi lbert Smit h which the operator was to pass on to him without delay - and this he did. Th e message, couched in scientific terms , might be translated into layman ' s language as saying that a certai n fl ywhee l in t he experi menta l machine would not stand t he stress of the r.m .p. about to be placed on it and t hat it wou ld shatter under the strain ; precaution should be taken. Hee ding t hi s adv ice , W BS and his co -workers bui lt a protective woode n covering around the machine, after wh ich they set it in motion and, as predicted, the flywheel shattered , embedding the wooden boards with its shrapne l ! Intervention on a Tape Recording. Another strange experience occ urred duri ng an exchange of tape recording letters between WBS and another UFO worke r in the U.S . At the time, WBBS was in possession of certain scientific data which the Boys from Topside had asked hi m to keep confidential for the time being . Inadvertently, W BS, more by implication t han d irect state men t, let slip a few clues to this scientific problem in a tape-letter to his co ll eague . A week or so later, he received the tape back from his friend , with a message aski ng if he would fi ll in t he blank spaces on the tape. Puzzled, WBS examined the tape care fully and played it over, onl y t o discover that in the places where he had let slip the tell-tale clues , the sound had been neatly erased and there was a slightly sticky substance on the tape in these areas! The on ly possible conc lusion he could reach was that it was the work of the Boys from Topside. H ere the n, are two au t hentic cases of t he Space Brothers using our electronic equipment for a speci fic purp ose. Use of Television. Recently, the English magazine »Week -End« car ried the following article, and whi le it is wr itten in a humorous, tongue-in -cheek vein , its writer may have been a lot closer to the trut h than he imagi ned!
