Author states that: (1) there are flying saucers; (2) they represent the most
advanced form of guided missile yet to appear; (3) they use a new source of
propulsion which derives from a compact "soft fission' atomic powerplant
that affords amazing performance in terms of range and speed; (4) they use
a new scheme for guidance and control that gives a never-before-reached
degree of prP.cision. He documents his claims.

form of negative electricity. "
