LOS ANGELF;S, Calif.
The "urgent problem" of
improving communications
with the thousands of visitors
from outer space who sup
posedly are circling the earth
was afforded solemn delib
eration here this weekend at
a special convention of fly
ing saucer buffs.
Among the nearly 300 dele
gates was a self-professed
"interplanetary tr ave I er "
'lamed Standing Horse, an
Englishwoman who regularly
issues mimeographed reports
on her conversations w i th
space travelers, a man who
offered to book "gro up
sightings" of flying saucers
and a presidential candidate
campaigning on the flying
saucer ticket.
THE SPACE buffs, who
assembled in a cavernous es-
.,.Jablishment called the Blar
ney Castle, weren't much im
pressed with Thursday's So
viet moon landing, but they
were awed and confused by
what they reported to be a
sharp increase in flying
saucers.
One delegate, Marianne
Francis, warned that the
sightings could mark the be
ginning of some "ominous
changes" for the earth's pop
ulation. But the convention
c h a i r m a n, Dr. F r a n k
Stranges, said the "interplan
etary visitors" would turn
out to be "angelic creatures
whose mission is to h e 1 p
mankind."
The delegates were gen
erally well groomed, articu
late men and women w h o
could have blended into any
PTA meeting. Many were
heads of organizations whose
members spotted and photo
graphed "unidentified flying
objects" and claimed to main
tain telepathic communica
tion with space travelers.
NEARLY ALL agreed tl)at
What they called the "flying
saucer movement" was un-
dergoing sharp expans ion.
Two delegates announced
they were negotiating to pur-
· · · h I
chase ~ad10 _stations . to e P
transmit their theories. ~ev-
eral flying saucer magazines
and hundreds of books were
on sale at the convention.
"These people are contac
tee-oriented," explained Gab
riel Green, a serious young
man who served as president
of the Amalgamated Flying
·saucer Clubs of America.

erjli persons living on the
same block here said they
saw an unidentified flying
object last night.
The object had four blink
Ing lights, red, white, blue
and green, proceeded north
easterly, hovered over a
grove of trees, then returned
southwesterly. The object
was seen first ,by the Merle
Simpson family, then others.
They said it was flat and
small.

"They accept spacecraft as a
fact of life. Their interest is
in contacting spacemen di
rectly or through telepathy."
Green, who regularly runs
for president as a "space age
candidate," says he cannot
practice telepathy but insists
he has met spacemen on at
least six occasions. The last
of his visitors, he said, was
four feet tall and came from
the Alpha Centauri s o 1 a r
system.
A muscular, even-featured
young man named Wesley
Bateman said he -never had
met spacemen but that he
was in "constant communica•
tion with them through tele
pathy" a_nd offered a , pro
gram of mstruct10n to _other
delegates who sought surular
contacts. His blonde wife,
Jonell, attired in black Leo
tards, was kept busy signing
up "students."
"There is no mystery as to
whether the space men are
wal ..hing us - some have al
rea_iy infiltrated our society,"
sai"' Bateman. "The mystery
is why so many are coming.
