UFOs and Related Subjects (Lynn Catoe, 1969)

Professor Fred Hoyle is quoted ':ls saying that quasars "must be gravity power-
ed" and that ''if these stars are gravity-powered they will be found to be pulsat-
ing." It is suggested that the observed pulsations of UFOs might w~ll suggest
they are gravity-powered.
Oberth, Hermann. Dr. Hermann Oberth discusses UFOs. Fate, v. 15, May 1962:
36-43.
Author says that in the absence of a more plausible explanation, ·1ne might as-
su~e that UFOs are "flying machines·· that (1) are not built by hcman beings;
(2) fly by means of artificial gravity fields; and (3) produce high-tension elec-
tric charges to push the air out of their pati1s so that it doea not start glowing,
and strong magnetic fields to interact with ionized air at higher altitudes.
Transitions of UFOs from half-transparent to invisible state might be related
to creation of artificial gravity fields. Oberth ''would bet 100 to one that some
of the contact persons are normal and have seen and experienced something. "

July-Aug. 1958: 14-18.
Author reveals that there are more than nine planets in our solar system and
gives locations of three newly-discovered planets; that our solar system con-
tains more than one asteroid belt; and gives informatic.~ on how man c~'l defy
gravity and apply this knowledge toward building a spacecraft that can maneu-
ver outside earth's atmosphere.

Presents theqry and supportir.g arguments that UFOs are propelled through use
of a controlled force field. Explain::; observed anomalies in behavior of UFOs
by this theory.

Canada's Project Magnet with equipment that could be used to investigate the
possibility of flying saucers powered :1y magn:-tic propulsion is described.
Slater, Robert M. Solving the secret of UFO propulsion. Flying saucers, June
1968: 15-17.
Author proposes a hypothetical propulsion system for UFOs based on phenome-
na observed in relation to the objects. He theorizes that the machines are
powered by a small fusion reactor which operates by combining deuterium
with helium.
