Saucers and smoking. Newsweek, v. 52, Aug. ll, 1958: 85.
Swiss psychologist Carl Jung is quoted as havinf; written in the Bulletin of the
Aerial Phenomena Research Organization (date not given) that the postWar
sightings cf flying saucers and oth~r unidentified flying objects (UFOs) were
not hllllucinatiom.;.
Saucers explained. Science newsJ;?tter, v. 77, Apr. 30, 1960: 279.
Summary of report by Dr. Richard P. Youtz of Barnard College to Eastern
Psychological Association meeting that most anexp.1.ained UFOs are
probably a peculiarity of perception known to psychologists as "afterimage. "
Saucers under glass. Newsweek, v. 40, Aug. 18, 1952: 49.
Physicist Noel Scott reports that he has produced flying saucers in mlniature
in the laboratory. When ionized air is introduced into a partial vacuum, he
can produce orange-red balls, discs, and mushrooms capable of registering
on a radar screen. Scott is employed at the Research and Development
Laboratories at Fort Belvoir, Va.
Schoenherr, Luis. UFOs and fourth dimension. Flying saucer review, v. 9,
Mar. -Apr. 1963: 10-12.
Discussing the relationship between UFOs and the fourth dimension, the
author suggests the following possibilities: (1) the fourth dimension is a
means of connection between different three-dimensional space; (2) space
travelers are indeed coming from outer space but they use the fourth
dimension for their traveling; (3) the UFOs are not three-dimensional but
actually four-dimensional objects.
----- UFOs and the fourth dimension. Flying saucer review, v. IO, Jan. -Feb.
1964: 16-20.
Outlines four hypotheses concerning the nature of the UFO phenomenon:
(1) UFOs are a machine emanating from a region of the cosmos unobservable
in our space-time continuum; (2) UFOs originate in our space-time continuum
but voyage outside it using the fourth dimension; (3) UFOs are four-dimensional
structures and that part of the UFO observable to us is the three-dimensional
projection of the structure in that part of the cosmos observable to us;
(4) UFOs may be time machines, assuming that the fourth dimension is time.
----- UFOs and the fourth dimension. Flying saucer review, v. ll, Nov. -Dec.
1965: 12-13, 18.
Author enlarges on hypothesis that UFOs could be a sort of spacecraft
traveling to our space along the fourth dimension and suggests that they are
not necessarily a means oLrannportation in the conventional sense of the
word, but instead, they could be technical devices for the production of
local spatial curvatures which extend into the space to be contacted. Once
this has been accomplished, beings from the other space could transcend
into ours.
