Healing Publishing Co. , 1966. 31 p.
Author says that reports of flying saucers landing in the desert, claiming to
come from other planets, claiming to oe creatures of a high state evolutionary

throughout the world that were accompanied by mention of electrical inter-
ference and power failure and concludes !hat the era.ft may be engaged in
weapons testing.

Stressing the need for establishment of a vigorous investigation program of
the UFO phenomenon, the author noted that close-range sightings of
machine like objects of unconventional nature and unconventional performance
