the country, they have not been identified as such until they chose to
make themselves known by an overt act of superhuman power or by
identifying themselves by word of mouth; throughout the ages there must have
been, and very probably still are, visitations by angP.ls--probably in most
cases appearing as normal human beings.

(2) despite the enormous speeds reported, no sonic booms are ever heard. He
considers it possible that UFOs may ''turn out to be of intelligent extra-
terresb'ial origin" but "if they are artificial, a~d come from other planets, it
is fairly certain they are not spaceships ... they will be something very much
more sophisticated. "
