Clark, Jerome. A contact claim. Flying saucer review, v. 11, Jan. -Feb. 1965: 30-32. Noting the way in which the "beingR" associated with the 1897 "airship" sightings seemed interested in reinforcing the belief that the craft was of mundane origin, the author concludes that the extraterrestrials either were engaged in some unknown activity in which they did not want their real identity made known, or that they chose to hide their existence realizing that the comparative un- sophistication of nineteenth century Americans wonld not permit them to accept the interplanetary answer. ----- The meaning of contact.
