Green, who regularly runs for president as a "space age candidate," says he cannot practice telepathy but insists he has met specimen on at least six occasions. The last of his visitors, he said, was four feet tall and came from the Alpha Centauri solar system. A muscular, even-featured young man named Wesley Bateman said he never had met spacemen but that he was in "constant communication with them through telepathy" and offered a program of instruction to other delegates who sought similar contacts. His blonde wife, Jonell, attired in black Leotards, was kept busy signing up "students." "There is no mystery as to whether the space men are was-ing us - some have already infiltrated our society." said Bateman. "The mystery is why so many are coming. What's going to happen?" Flying Saucers ## (To the Editor, & C. M. Post) Bir.—Citizens beware! This is not a drill. If you report what you see, your report will be treated as hallucination. Your honest desire to help solve an aeronautical mystery will be discounted by harassing confrontation by paid investigators who are instructed to suppress the authenticity of their investigation. The UFO Project research has been operative continuously for more than 20 years. The scope and extent of this project is a carefully guarded subject. During that time it has maintained a continuous status of "Classified Information." The only information released by the U.S. Air Force for publication is periodic reports of a few selected cases of mistaken identity—such as the report to this newspaper on February 1, by Dr Allan Ijrnak: "In Search Of Flying Saucers." Most, sincere observers no longer report UFO sightings to accepted authority. (Why continue to skip your own face?) For several years actual sightings of spaceships are compiled at Flying Saucer Clubs all over the world Amalgamated Flying Saucer Clubs of America (AFSCA) maintain a comprehensive information department that registers Club activities, and reports from all over the world. Anyone can write to AFSCA, 2004 N Hoover Street, Los Angeles, California 90027, U.S.A. and receive a course, conscientious report about any information he is seeking. We don't need to search for Flying Saucers—we only need to acknowledge their presence. Actually we are on one of the strangest UFO's in the universe. Our "Friends" who are now investigating us cannot understand our belligerant attitude toward their conscientious effort to contact us. Neither can I UFO spotted 5-16-66 PASADENA (AP)—Scores of startled residents called newspapers and police after sighting what they described as blinking, moving lights in the skies over the Sea Gatrial Valley last night. Officers said some residents saw the lights "travel fast, then slow, then stop." They said some Panama area resident reported the smell of perfume as the lights appeared and moved. ## REPORT SIGHTING OF 'SAUCER' BONHANNESBURG, South Africa South Africa police and justs investigated Thursday a report that a flying saucer type object had landed on a main highway near Pretoria, the country's administrative capital.

Scientists who examined the spot where the officers said that they saw the object are reported to have found that a six-digit wide section of the larred road had been badly burned.

THE BOSTON MIXALB, FRIDAY, SEPT. 17, 1943 These flying squirrel stories are getting more ridiculous every day. ## "Saucer" Is Forgot Ay PETER A. DVARACKAS Merald-News Source Writer Many months will pass before the impact of the strange flying objects which dominated the North Jersey skies this week fades into memory. Not that the tale of the flying saucer is ever put. Dr. George White, an electronics expert, and Dr. John Pegaro of Fort Lee will investigate the scene of the unidentified object and then report back to NICAP. Announcement of the impending study was made by Richard Hall, assistant director of NICAP. The bright white disk that streaked across three counties and hovered periodically over the Wanameque Reserve will provide an ample amount of conversation for weeks so come. Indeed, thousands of eyewitnesses know well the story of that mysterious terrestrial stranger. Investigators from the National Investigation Committees on Aerial Phenomena (NICAP) may arrive today in Upper Peninsula County from Washington D.C. to probe the UFO sightings. Police at Wanque, the state's largest water storage basin, continue to maintain a night vigil at the headworks, in Ringwood Avenue and Westbrook Road to spot that weird disk of light which was seen as late on Thursday night making sharp dips and maneuvers over the reservoir.
