Fuller, B. .'•. G. Flying saucers. The journal of philosophy, v. 49, Aug. 14, 1952: 545-559. Postulating that intelligent life exists in forms quite different from ours and is disperse·:i throughout the universe, the author speculates on proceedings of a "cosmic Congress'' including all kinds of ''Saucerians". Delegates of every imat;inable aspect-- "not to speak of others defying terre£trial biological clas- sification"--would compare their religious, moral, social, economic, and po- litical ways of life. He express~s hope that once the myth of a superior race was exploded, constants would appear in the various ways of life and points of view and ill planetary thinking would become interplanetary in scope and scale. Miller, E. Conrad and J. L. Smith. Some considerations regardin5 the possibility of contact with intelligent extraterrestrial beings. BUFORA journal and bulletin, v. 1, Winter 1964: 4-7. Article states it is possible that contact will be made in the relatively near fu- ture with extraterrestrial intelligences and that this contact may occur as a ship to ship meeting in interplanetary space. Earth's crews should be briefed to take no possible action that could be deemed hostile and to take defensive measures only in tht' last resort for self-preservation. An effort should be made to determine whether it is possible to develop messages suitable for ini- tial contact with an alien intelligence. Reeve, Bryant. The advent of the cosmic viewpoint. Amherst, Wis., Amherst Press, 1967. 256 p. Postulating that earth's traditional cosmic isolationism is ending, the author discusses the implications of change& that are portended. He speculates on the effect that the landing of extraterrestrial apacecraft will have on man's concept of reality, his civilization, institutions, way of life, and manner of thinking and acting. llichards, Sam. Some philosophical implications of UFOs. Spacelink, v. 4, Sum- mer 1967: 4-11. It is pointed out that once we can comprehend and admit t.ilat there could be an intelligence superior to our own, it requires very little further thought to ap- preciate the difficulty of communication. Of the various types of apparently extraterrestrial beings visiting earth, it could be significant that they appear not only incapable of contact with us but there is no evidence of their contact- ing each other. INTELLIGENCE Aharon, Y. N. ibn. The recent literature of extraterrestrialism. Saucer news, v. 12, Mar. 1965: 11-12. Evaluates works on Pxtraterrestrialism by Desmond Leslie and Dr. M. K. Jessup. 282
