the principles involved in weight-distrib. on surface manipulation, i.e. expert engineers producing the revolutionary Hovercraft.

"Some of my readers will have been way ahead of me in those past assessments and no doubt will have anticipated my next intention. Yet others will be a trifle impatient that the following correlation should be made. But I must stress, I try very hard not to be biased, science is far more interesting left as it is. Therefore I am sincere in my next analysis. I trust the reader will be, too. I have purposely chosen the following title for the evidence which I hope may help shed some truer light on one who may be a very maligned man." UNQUOTE.

Today, in his book "Piece For A Jig-saw", Mr. Cramp produces startling evidence of a highly-technical nature which shows how, following along purely engineering principles as a result of analyses of hundreds of reported saucer-sightings, with accompanying detail of manoeuvres and flight patterns, he arrives at the ideal form, in all respects, for a visiting "saucer". The saucer he finally produces, after progressive fine-drawings and photographs by the score, is the Adamski scout-craft.

12 years ago Leonard G. Cramp produced the orthographic projections which showed how young Stephen Darbishire's "Conislon" saucer, as photographed, was identical in shape and proportion to Adamski's classic "scout-craft".

Yes, the "very maligned man" is George Adamski.

In his concluding chapter, not only does the author quote details of engineering data provided by Adamski in his controversial books, but Mr. Cramp confesses that, until the time of writing this last chapter, he had not yet read completely Adamski's "Inside The Space Ships"! Realising perhaps certain readers' acpticism about this belated admission, Mr. Cramp goes on to describe points outlined in that book concerning Adamski's alleged trips in the scout-craft, whereby his (Cramp's) own scientifically arrived-at data receives startling corroboration!

"At this juncture I can almost hear many an Adamski aceptic breathing a sigh of incredulity, hardly able to believe that I should dare to include such material in a semi-technical work of this nature." Unguote.

With many detailed international sighting reports analysed scientifically, with his own photographed experiments showing the intensive study he has made of all aspects of "saucer" manoeuvres and flight, and accompanied by scores of finely-executed line-drawings, Leonard Cramp provides food for thought for all those of an open mind.

Here, biased or un-biased as we may seem, we would like to recommend to other biased and unbiased UFO researchers one of the best flying saucer contributions since "Inside The Space Ships"? That the author is not biased can be witnessed by the 360 pages of this book which are not about George Adamski.

In expressing the hope that certain UFOlogist

sceptics will not now refrain from pu sinr and reading this excellent book, we would like to include with an excerpt from the summing-up by Leonard G. Cramp himself.

"Out of the confusion and the shadow surrounding this most enigmatic of flying saucer contact stories, emerges one or two, but nevertheless very important facts.

(a) Adamski type saucers are not uncommon among UFO reports.

(b) On purely engineering grounds the configuration of the "scout ship" offers the best allround compromise which could embody the functions required by the gravitational propulsion theory.

(c) Adamski's description of inside a saucer is not inconsistent with the theory, on the contrary, theory seems to support it.

(d) Thus on these grounds alone I for one feel inclined to accept the first part of his experience as fact, and in my opinion any inconsistencies which appear in his subsequent claims are insufficient to invalidate the previous conclusions."

## Out of the clear, blue sky by MAJOR H. C. PETERSEN.

WE ALL KNOW of accounts of objects which during the past couple of hundred years, have been reported as falling down from the sky, - and, often enough, from a clear, cloudless sky.

Scientists and other experts have sought to explain such "falls" as meteorites, meteors, or - nowadays - as something in connection with flying, atomic tests or the like.

In the book "La Malin des Magiciens", by the Frenchman, Louis Pauwels and Jacques Bergier, volume One gives reference to 40,000 notations of falls of such extraordinary things.

If we concern ourselves solely with two groups of objects - meteorites and ice - then we find ourselves in an area where science and various other expert sources are quite positive in their conclusions.

Meteoric stones originate from comets and planets which have disintegrated, or from larger or smaller asteroids. The ice comes from airplanes - either formed outwardly or from the toilet.
