is a fact, include reputable individuals like Professor Hermann Oberth, world famous rocket and space travel authority, who flatly states: "I believe the flying saucers come from other worlds."

Does it include Dr. Clyde W. Tombaugh, astronomer, discoverer of the planet Pluto, and chief of the Armed Services' search for natural satellites, who says, "These things, which do appear to be directed, are unlike any other phenomena I ever observed. . . other stars in our galaxy may have hundreds of thousands of inhabitable worlds. Races on these worlds may have been able to utilize the tremendous amounts of power required to bridge the space between the stars."

Or Dr. J. C. Bartlett, Jr., noted Baltimore astronomer who has sighted both disc-shaped and rocket-shaped UFOs and has said, "It is not impossible that they come from another planet."

Or William Lear, winner of the Collier Aviation Trophy, president of Lear, Inc. (aircraft and electronics equipment) who has said; "I believe the flying saucers come from outer space, piloted by beings of superior intelligence."

Also note how carefully the writer of the Herald Tribune article avoided expressing the opinions of anyone within the military. There are scores of former military men who have since 1947 issued public statements that UFOs are real:

## VOICE OF THE MILITARY

Rear Admiral D. S. Fahrney, Ret., former Navy missile chief, "Reliable reports indicate there are objects coming into our atmosphere at very high speeds. The way they change positions would indicate that their motion is directed."

Senator Barry Goldwater, a jet flying Air Force Reserve Colonel, "Flying saucers -- UFOs -- or whatever you call them, are real."

Albert M. Chop, former Air Force official who handled UFO information, "One thing is absolutely certain. We are being watched from outer space."

Lt. Col. Lee B. James, Army missile expert at Huntsville, Alabama, "The lights seen by airlines were quite possibly from outer space. I know they're not coming from Russia. We in this civilization are not that advanced yet."

Lt. General P. A. Del Valle, U.S.M.C., Ret., "There obviously is something to the 'flying saucers' which has been withheld from American citizens. There should be a serious investigation of authentic reports, and all factual evidence and possible conclusions should be given to the public."

General George C. Kenney, former chief of the Strategic Air Command, "We're completely mystified. We have nothing remotely like the machines described. I wish we did."

Commander R. W. Percy, U.S.N.R. Ret., electronics engineer for the Federal Communications Commission, "I personally believe UFOs are space ships from other advanced planets."

Needless to say, the Tribune article author is quite aware of the prestige in the name, Carl Jung, and has used it to a convincing advantage. However, in complete fairness to the UFOs, it should also be stated that from this same man came the words, "I do not possess sufficient evidence (ref. UFOs) which would enable me to draw definite conclusions."

The Herald Tribune article should have also printed Dr. Jungs' other statements, such as "I do not possess sufficient evidence which would enable me to draw definite conclusions. The evidence available, however, is convincing enough to arouse a continuous and fervent interest. If it is true the Air Force withholds facts, then one can only say this is the most stupid policy one could invent... The public ought to be told the truth."
