1949: 22-24, 92,
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.
Mlseley, James W. UFOs, the universe, and Mr. John M. Cage. Fate, v. 15,
Sept. 1962: 78-84.
Cage suggests that UFOs are not machines but are "sentient life forms of
a highly tenuous composition, charged with and feeding upon energy in the
form of negative electricity. "
