RE: UNIDENTIFIED FLYING OBJECTS,
lNVESTIGATIVE SOCIETY;
GEORGE W. VAN TASSEL
ruined, not because of any fear that would be engendered
in the public. He said this is due to the number of scien
tific discoveries already made and that will be made which
are labor saving and or almost permanency so that replacements
would not be needed.
In swnmation, VAN TASSEL 1s speech was on these
subjects:
(1) Space people related to occurrences in
Bible.
(2) Atom Bomb detrimental to earth and universe.
(3) Economy is poor and would collapse under
ideas brought by space people.
Throughout his lecture, VAN TASSEL mentioned only
the u. s. economy and Government and the u. s. Air Force. He
did refer to the human race numerous times but all references
to Government and economy could only be taken as meaning the
u. s. One question put to him was whether sightings had been
made in Russia or China. He answered this by saying sightings
had been reported all over the world, but then specifically
mentioned only the U. s., Australia, New Zealand, and New
Guinea.
He also mentioned that he was not advocating or
asking for any action on the part or the audience because he
said evil has a way of destroying itself. He did say that
he felt that the audience, of about 250 persons, were the
only intelligent people in Denver and he knew they had not
come out of curiosity but because they wanted to do the right
thing. He said that they were above the average in intelligence
and when the critical time came, the world would need people
such as this to think and guide.
An application blank was distributed at the meeting
for membership in the Denver society of this organization.
