They Knew Too Much About
Flying Saucers
by GRAY BARKER
One by one, the leading figures among flying
saucer researchers, who have challenged the govern
ment deniaJ that saucers come from outer space, have
been silenced.
Outwardly, nothing seems co have happened co
these men. They are srilJ alive, still living where they
used ro. Bur they no longer publish saucer research
material and they will not talk about saucers or why
they no longer will speak of them.
Three men in dark suits have visited these saucer
researchers. Nobody knows what they said, but it was
enough to reduce their bearers to silence.
Perhaps the silenced men know who the three
dark-dad visitors are, but they won't c.alk. about chis
either. And nobody else seems co know who these
men are. They might be government agencs, they
might even be men from outer space, or they might
have muscled into a situation fraught with many
possibilities.
This is pan of the crue story rold by an otherwise
prosaic and successful Oarksburg, West Virginia,
business man, Gray Barker, whose busy film booking
and buying agency in Clarksburg News Building
scarcely seems co be the place to give forth this story
stranger than chat of any of the pictures chat Mr.
Barker is booking.
Mr. Barker never was interested in flying saucers
until 1952 when one of the most astonishing ones
allegedly landed near his home in West Virginia and
he investigated the story and found the shaken and
fearful eye wicnesses convincing enough to go on
with further investigations.
Then, after severaJ years of close contaa with the
leading men in the .field, he found them suddenly
silenced, one by one.
Who they are, what they were doing when they
were silenced, Mr. Barker's astonishing theories of
what they had discovered chat impelled ochers co
silence them, is cold in his book.
H. G. Rhawn, publisher and owner of the daily
Clarksburg News, the author's home town paper, has
authorized University Books to publish a letter from
him which, while carefully disclaiming any credence
in flying saucers, concludes that when so sober and
successful a business man as Mr. Barker finds the
.field imponanr enough, flying saucers deserve serious
investigation.
