15 January. E. J. Rupplet.
At this time Donald Keyhoe was working with Irve Tunick on a proposed television program
dealing with the UFO mystery. One of the experts selected to appear on the show was ex-BLUE
BOOK chiefE.J. Ruppelt. Ruppelt was always something of a mystery to Keyhoe. Would
Ruppelt take part? If so, what would he say?
Max B. Miller, who headed the civilian group Flying Saucers International based in Los Angeles, wrote Harold Fulton in New Zealand on January 15 1h to say: "Ruppelt has always 'been on
the fence,' and I doubt if our Air Force had anything to do with it. Confidentially, AI Chop once
told me that Ruppelt was the only member ofBlue Book who disbelieved in UFOs." (xx.)
(xx.)
Letter: To: Harold Fulton. From: Max B. Miller. Date: 15 January 58. Photocopy in
author's files. Letter from the Murray Bott collection, Auckland, New Zealand.
16 January. Trindade Island case.
Additional information. Odds and ends.
Dr. J. Allen Hynek interviewed witness Almiro Barauna. Here are some interesting bits of data.
The object undulated (wobbled) and tipped twice. The object was picked up on the Almirante
Saldanha's radar 15 minutes before it came into view. Almiro confirmed the fact that all electrical power aboard the ship failed at the time the object made its appearance and all power
returned suddenly when the object departed. It was also noticed that sea gulls in area disappeared just before the object came over the horizon. (xx.)
(xx.)
Tape of interview from Dr. Willy Smith's files. Tape now in SIGN group's archive in
care ofWendy Connors.
Pictures of persons on deck at the time ofthe sighting. Dr. Willy Smith's files. (See page 3)
Various Brazilian newspaper clippings about the Trindade case. Collected by Olavo Fontes
and now in the author's files. (See pages 4-12)

Geraldton, West Australia. (no time)
UFO hits building? Man killed.
A Perth newspaper printed:
"Did 10-year-old schoolgirl Janet Kerr see something in the air which caused the
mysterious explosion in a banana-ripening room last Thursday?
"This is the question being asked by her parents and friends who have heard her
story.
"Police just laughed when she told them that she had seen an object hurtling
through the air over the grocery premises ofSydney Pong and Co. just before the explosion which wrecked the storeroom.
"But Janet, who lived on Seventh Street, Wonthella, sticks to her story.
" 'The thing was greyish in color and it was about a foot in diameter,' she said.
" 'It seemed to be spinning rapidly and was travelling very fast, but not so fast
that I could not see it clearly.
"'The object came in from the sea and hit the roof of the building.
" 'Then there was an explosion and I saw a great cloud of smoke and dust billowing up.'
"No official explanation has yet been made on the cause ofthe explosion, which
fatally injured employee Edward Pong." (xx.)
(xx.) Perth, West Australia. News. 13 February 57.
27 February. Frankton Junction, New Zealand. (between 6:30p.m. and 6:45p.m.)
Bright orange-red oval.
According to our source:
"Object seen by two adults and four children on 271h February, 1958. Mr. and Mrs.
1
H. Moreland ofDucan Street, Frankton, were milking their herd on the evening of27 h
February at between 6:30 and 6:45p.m. when one of the children began shouting and
pointing at the sky.
"Mrs. Moreland saw the object speeding by and called to Mr. Moreland who, after
gazing round vainly a moment, also saw the object-a bright orange-red oval as large
as a C4 7 aircraft, of which they see a great number over their farm.
"The object appeared to have a rumbling engine noise, but, after the object had
disappeared, the engine noise persisted and was in fact a Diesel-electric locomotive at
the Frankton yards.
"The object was at an elevation of about 40 degrees above the horizon and was
travelling extremely smoothly and at a speed several times that of an aircraft.
"Its direction was from N.N.W. to S.S.E. (approximately north to south) and was
in view 15 or 20 seconds over an arc of about 120 degrees of the horizon.
15
"Later the object's color was further described as 'about the prettiest color you
could imagine,' and also it did not shine like, say, a car headlamp having a direct beam
but was more in the form of a bright incandescent glow.
"The sighting of this object greatly affected the family concerned and they could
talk of nothing else. The children all insisted on giving their own accounts in quite an
excited fashion and, considering the interview was some six weeks after they had seen
the object, their excitement was quite remarkable." (xx.)

Round red-orange thing, maneuvers, lands.
A letter to the Center for UFO Studies said:
"On a morning in February 1958 Iwas awakened by my brother who said that he
had seen a flying saucer. When I got to the window (located on the second floor) I
could see a brightly lit object moving west past Eshelman's water tower (see incl 1). My
brother stated when he looked out the window he could see the object closer and that it
was saucer-shaped with a dome on top. As we viewed it, it continued toward the west
until it went out of sight. During this time I tried to think what the object might be as I
hadn ' t seen it close up. The point that does stand out in my mind is the brightness ofthe
object. While watching it I could see the clouds around it. (see incl2) A startling thing
then happened. As my brother and I were still looking out the window amazed at what
we had seen, we saw this strange object come back from where the first object had gone
out of sight. The object was red-orange color and a perfect circle. It stopped in mid-air
and then went thru a series of maneuvers before landing. (see incl3) We both were
struck by this sighting and didn't report it for fear ofbeing laughed at. I always thought
the purpose for the landing was to be near water as the Scioto River was near there. It
wasn ' t till recently with the talk ofUFOs and electrical power that I realized the UFO
landed at or near the city power station with the river right nearby. That is why I sent
you this report because I feel this is a significant sighting with the relationship to electrical power.
''I've always wondered if the object that landed was the same object I had first
seen that changed shape and color or a part from that object. I never went to check the
landing site or said anything at the time because of the wave of sightings in November
1957. I figured the UFOs would be found out very soon without my help." (xx.)

7 March. Hastings, New Zealand. (1 :30 a.m.)
Elliptical-shaped, green-colored, object.
According to our source:
"A large object colored a vivid green was seen in the sky by a Hastings resident
early this morning. Miss M. M. Prude, of205 Knight Street, said she had awakened at
1:30 a.m. to see a large, brightly lit elliptical-shaped object through the bedroom window. It appeared to have two tails. She said it descended from a westerly direction,
hovered for a moment, and then shot toward the south." (xx.)

5 April. Near Toronto, Canada. (about 3:00am.)
"Whirling saucer?"
Our source states:
" ... David Pollock, 12, saw what he called a flying saucer. He was staying for the
weekend at a boy scout camp called the 'Honey Pot,' north of Toronto. About 3:00a.m.
he woke up and couldn't sleep. It was a beautifully clear night and a full moon lit up the
countryside. Putting on a few clothes, he went outside for a walk with a chum who was
also awake at the time. Outside were a few other lads from another patrol, maybe they
couldn't sleep either. Out of the sky came a 'swishing noise' and an object David described as 'saucer-shaped,' curved more on the top than on the bottom. It appeared to be
'whirling' and about the length of a car. Flames were coming from the back and sides
as it lit up the surroundings and flew in a northwesterly direction. All the aforementioned
boys witnessed the sighting. David has never read a saucer book and his parents say he
doesn't tell wild tales." (xx.)

The light then ' bounced what appeared to be a few feet and shot straight up in the air,
glowing brighter and brighter.' It was so bright that it made tears come to their eyes,
said Turbin. A 10 or 20-foot-long silvery-white streamer shot out from the light, and
later changed color several times, from white to red to blue.

Are astronomers "saucer experts?"
From England came the following story:
"Police Inspector Leonard Buckley and other early risers in Halifax Road, Rochdale,
observed a very bright, blue-green ' fireball,' with a long tail of misty light, when it travelled slowly in the direction ofLittleborough at 4:15a.m. on the 25th of April1958.
"It, is noteworthy that apart from being a Police Inspector, the key witness in this
sighting has had over 500 hours flying time in the R.AF. during the last war. He states on
the report that he has never seen anything of this nature before and the comparatively slow
speed struck him particularly.
"He estimated the speed to be about 100 to 150 m.p.h., the height between 100 to 200
feet and the distance about 300 feet at its nearest. Direction of travel was West to East.
Weather was fme and clear and the object showed up sharply.
26
"His sketch is reproduced here [See below]. When contacted by the Manchester Evening
News, experts at Jodrell Bank, said they did not see it but added that 'it was most likely a
meteor.' (xx.)

The first in a series of atomic tests (Operation HARDTACK) took place at the Eniwetok AEC
proving grounds on April28 1h. Eniwetok is one of the Marshall Islands and lies south of Wake.
(These tests are the only reason this writer can suggest that might explain extensive UFO activity
on the northwest coast ofNew Guinea in 1959. In June, 1958, the initial event in the New
Guinea flap occurred when a mysterious blue ball hovered over the Catholic mission at Sideia
for five minutes. See the monograph UFOs: A History 1958 May- July, page 40)
? May, 1958. Fontana, California. (about 8: 30 p.m.)
Saucers observe steel mill?
In 1975 a Mr. James McCloud revealed an event he claims took place many years before:
"It took him 17 years, but former Fontanan James H. McColud is ready now torelate the details of an evening in 1958 when he saw silver disks, which he thinks were
flying saucers, hovering over the Kaiser Steel plant.
"It was May of that year. McCould, now a resident ofMuscoy and 56 years old, was
on his 'lunch' break at about 8:30p.m. in the scarfmg yards at Kaiser. The moon was out,
and he was relaxing with his meal.
"He said he gazed up at the sky and saw two flying saucers about I ,000 feet in the air
'flying in a sort of formation.'
"They were silver gray in color and perfectly round, said McCloud. Their surface was
'rough, like tiny honeycomb pits.'
"The saucers came from the north at about 200 to 300 mph. McCloud estimates, then
stopped in mid-air at about the center of the mill. He believes they may have been observing the operations there.
"'I'm guessing they were 100 to 200 feet wide. They stayed there four or five minutes,
then tilted forward and downward at about a 45-deree angle, then swooped upside down and
went back to where they came from,' he said. They had no windows, no flashing lights and
were absolutely silent.
"'They were so quick it amazed me,' he added. 'I thought no group of people on earth
was capable of building those saucers.'
27
"The whole episode lasted about five minutes, according to McCloud. He was alone
in the area at the time with the exception of one other man, who, when McCloud asked
him if he had seen the saucers,
'looked at me and grinned and
said, "You're nuts.'"
" 'I thought it might cost
me my job so I kept quiet,' he
added.
" 'I was afraid ifl went
to the sheriffs they' d have a
trip to Patton (mental hospital)
for me, so I never mentioned
it for 13 years.'
"But lately he says he
has found the courage to mention it to friends, and after
speaking recently with a fellow church member, he decid-
ed to come out with it. Because he finds the physical
description of the saucers hard
to explain; he has constructed
a model of plastic, grout and
hobby glue.
"McCloud, who is an officer of the Disabled American
Veterans, San Bernardino Post
12, is now waiting to hear from
the head ofthe Twentieth
Century UFO Bureau, an organization he says investigates
sightings." (xx.)

"Promoter of Justice is distrubed."
An item from Brazil states:
"A curious case occurred last June in Ceara [A province along the northeast coast],
where a flying saucer communicated with a promoter of Justice [Justice of the Peace?] of
the city ofPucatubu. The promoter was sitting in his car on his.iarm listening to the car
radio when through the window screen he saw a luminous object rapidly approaching his
house from a hill.
"Disturbed by this sight the promoter started running towards the house, at the same
time shouting to .his wife. When they met, the mysterious object, already nearing the
house, was travelling at meteoric speed. Begimling to run toward his house the promoter
started to wave his arms in the direction of the vehicle, which the flying saucer seemed to
see even at that distance. Much to his surprise he saw that the flying saucer, which was
just above his head, now began to turn as if responding to his signals.
"Hoping that the flying saucer would continue on its trajectory in a southeast direction, he stopped. All of a sudden it described a violent, rapid 360 degree curve, returning
to its previous trajectory at much the same speed as it arrived, and, turning; disappeared
into cosmic space." (xx.)

These were difficult days for the Air Force. On June 20th, for example, the military was
briefmg House members about the UFO problem (See the monograph UFOs: A History 1958
May- June, pages 49-50)
While searching USAF Historical Archives at Maxwell AFB, Alabama, UFOlogist Jan Aldrich found an undated sheet of paper near, or in, 1958 material dealing with ATIC's selfcriticism of project BLUE BOOK. The piece of paper mentions the president ofthe Brookings
Instutute and an "Edward Trapnell, Asst. Public Affairs," who is otherwise not identified. Jan
Aldrich suggests that the document foreshadows the Condon Committee effort to "get the Air

Thank you for your inauiry of JulY 8. It ;.;as sent
from Holt 1 s to Palm Springs, to Desert Sprin~s and ultimately met
up with us in Hollywood,
Yes, in general I am still endorsin8 what
was written in Beh ind The Flying Saucers. At the present time
there is a suit filed against True, Fav1cett, Cahn etc etc for
512,000,000 by Silas M Newton and me. The defendants managed to
wig g le out of Arizona and the case will now be tried in Connecticut
where they do b usiness or in Delaware where they are incorpo rated,
I havent got beyond the note-taking and research
of another book on UFOs and before I get my present cornmitm8nts
out of the way the whole thing may be solved, thus requiring
certainly no other book from me,
A recent Va riety column reported a visit to Giant
Rock and the most spontaneous and unrehearsed ser.:inar dealin ~
with the saucerian saga.Every year a new dilly breaks out th~re.
Among these men and their personal histories I feel like a
patholg ist, for I dealt only with dead crews and grounded saucers.
f
I note from the Investigator that the r.;a jor is still
~reatins the Pentaronians as if they were our allies inste ad of

Summer 1958. The RAF and MoD.
The way authors Clarke and Roberts tell it, English authorities were "on the spot" too:
"Senior RAF and MoD officials were no different from the public in that some
rejected the [UFO] subject as nonsense, while others nurtured a more open mind.
This was certainly the case among the few who had witnessed phenomena themselves and had fallen foul ofthe Ministry's often clumsy attempts to warn them
against speaking about their experiences in public.
"The nearest S6 ever got to accepting the possibility that some 'unexplained'
UFOs could be exotic phenomena appears in an internal minute sent to a sister department during the summer of 1958. This occurred at a time when a number of UFO
groups, whose members believed that a conspiracy of silence existed, enlisted MPs to
put pressure upon the Air Ministry to make a statement. The campaign culminated in
a series of questions by the Aetherius Society, which demanded that the government
reveal 'the facts about flying saucers.' Mr. West of S6 noted: 'The authors of the campaign are firmly convinced that extraterrestrial manifestations have appeared, whereas
the Air Staff are by no means certain [Clarke & Roberts emphasis]. As it is not possible
to release official information about something which does not e]\iSt, it is difficult to
satisfY those with preconceived ideas to the contrary."' ( xx.)

According to our source:
"As a direct result of further questions from both UFO believers and MPs, a decision was taken in August 1958 to ensure that all public statements on the subject
were made by one central department [A lesson learned from the U.S. Air Force no
doubt], with DDI (Tech) personnel acting simply as technical advisors. All contact
with the press and public was transferred to Secretariat 6 (or S6, as it was known),
which became the immediate forerunner of all branches that were to have responsibility for UFO matters following the creation ofthe modem MoD in 1964. It was
then that UFO responsibilities moved to S4, which became DS8 in 1972 and fmally
Secretariat (Air Stafl) 2A in 1985." (xx.)

"In 1958 my late mother visited my late husband and I to recuperate from a virus.
The month was August. She was with the FAA, and there had been numerous news
accounts ofUFOs being sighted at that time [This is correct. See the monograph
UFOs: A History 1958 August-September. Check the first halfofthe month of August].
"Late one afternoon, about 4:00p.m., I sighted my husband returning from up the
lake, where he had been fishing. He was some distance, but we had a red boat, and it
was then the only one that color on the Lake Placid.
"We went outdoors to see what he had caught. As we stepped out on the grass
and looked at the lake, movement from the direction beyond Signal Hill caught our
eyes. An extremely strong wind was blowing from the south. A large, seemingly
elongated, flattened blimp-like vehicle was flying against that wind at great speed. The
sky was cloudless-and a vivid blue. We ran the length of our property, down to Saranac A venue-approximately 11 0 feet-and watched it continue on course perhaps
three times the height of Signal Hill, until it vanished through the undulation afterram.
"Our then next-door neighbor was preparing dinner for her husband. She had
seen our running and wondered if an accident had occurred, never thinking to look
in the direction we had been gazing (to his rear). It was aluminum(?) colored, and
appeared to be metal. There were red somethings on it-lights or a recessed deck
(?). We could see no evidence of landing gear or wings, or tail fms. She was very
excited, as was the writer, and said she was going to tell the FAA what her experiiences had been on her return to New York. Whatever happened to her account I
have no idea. My then neighbor scoffed it off as a 'weather balloon,' but we knew
it was not one. It was the largest airborne craft one could see-in broad daylight.
We heard no sound." (See witness' drawing ofthe layout of area on page 34)

August, 1958. Ottawa, Canada. (10:52 p.m.)
Huge ball, flattened at the top and bottom.
Our source states:
"Two Overbrook men told the Ottawa Citizen today they sighted a strange,
illuminated object hovering in the sky high over the southeast end of the city late
last night, then disappeared when an aircraft approached it.
"Kenneth McKay of 465 Queen Mary Ave., and Harold Bradley of 465
Queen Mary Ave., said they were sitting on their front lawn at 10:52 last night
When a large spherical object, flattened at the top and bottom, and bathed in a
yellowish light appeared in the sky and remained there for 60 seconds before
disappearing to the south.
"The control tower at Uplands reported no unusual aerial operations during
that period. Defense Research Board spokesmen at Shirley's Bay said no equipment is maintained to make such investigations.

"Mr. Bradley said that the object was first noticed as it passed over his home,
flying in from the northwest at between 4,000 and 5,000 feet. 'It was going at a
fairly reasonable clip,' he said, 'then it slowed down and stopped for three to four
seconds. It remained in this position until we noticed a plane approaching from Uplands at about 1,500 feet. Then the object took off at a terrific speed and disappeared to the south. Mr. Bradley said it looked like a huge ball, flattened at the top and
bottom and appeared to be at least ten times larger than any existing aircraft.
" 'It wasn't a falling star or any type of celestial body. It wasn't a Sputnik as
it did not maintain a constant speed, and it defmitely was not an aircraft. There was
no noise whatsoever,' he said." (xx.)

20 September. Near Rijen, Holland. (no time)
Motor suddenly stops.
Mr. J.P. Walop was driving his motorcycle in the woods near Rijen (North Brabant) when his
motor suddenly stopped. He couldn't fmd any defects to his motor, but while he was inspected
his bike he happened to glance up. And at that very moment he saw a strange disk-like object
flying in the air at a height of75 meters. It had a diameter of about 20 to 30 meters and gave off
a dull red glow. As the object slowly passed by, Mr. Walop thought he heard a slight humming
sound. As soon as the object was out of sight, the bike's motor functioned again. (xx.)

"Buddhist UFO Center?"
James Rigberg's funky Flying Saucer News,
published at his First A venue book store in New
York, carried an ad in the October issue about a
"Buddhist UFO Research Center." Apparently
this group came and went without quickly without leaving any impression on the UFO community (I have not the slightest idea what it was all
about-L.E. Gross).

A newspaper story tells us:
"Amesbury had its first unidentified flying object report in recent months yesterday
when a Lake Attitash resident reported sighting a flat, disc-shaped object hovering over
Lake Attitash.
"Mrs. William Bailey, a Lake Attitash resident, told police she saw the object shortly before 3 yesterday afternoon. She said she could also hear a motor humming.
"She said she went into her home to obtain binoculars, but on her re~urn found the
object had disappeared. She was interviewed by Civil Defense Director Daniel J. Flynn,
who was told that she had twice before sighted objects while a resident of Lowell." (xx.)

"It behaved too strangely."
According to a press account:
"Mrs. Patricia Hageman, of 19 Parkinson Avenue, Mt. Roskill, called into the garden by her children, aged 14 and 13, at 7:13p.m. last night, saw a red glowing object
descending.
"She said: 'It looked as though it would come down into the Mt. Roskill shopping
centre. But suddenly it stopped. Then it shot upwards very quickly and disappeared.'
"Auckland air traffic control said they had received no reports of strange objects.
"Mr. H.H. Fulton, president of the Civilian Flying Saucer Investigation Organization, said several reports of unidentified objects had been received.
"'We are expecting more reports because at this time ofthe year the planet Mars
gets nearer to Earth and seems to produce this sort of phenomena,' he said. November
8 is the day when it is nearest."' (xx.)

The "Martian cycle."
It was a statistical fact UFO activity and the close approach ofthe planet Mars correlated for
the years 1950 - 1956. Beginning with 1957, however, the pattern breaks down with UFO
sightings more of constant, year round, phenomenon. Did the change have anything to do with
the launch of satellites by Russia and the U.S.? One guess is as good as another.

November 1958. N1CAP's new program.
Associate Editor Richard Hall proposed a new system of gathering UFO information through
local committees of experts. The increase of valuable data would, it was assumed, make possible
some conclusions about the UFO mystery. Questions that might be answered included the following:
" -Any correlation with A-bomb tests.
-Sighting cycles linked with Mars or Venus approaches with earth.
-Specific areas apparently under special UFO observation.
-Any correlation with launchings of satellites or other space rockets.
-The question of possible UFO links with certain aircraft accidents and
disappearances.
-The question of strange radio signals, suggested as linked with space craft.
-Reports of UFO interference with radio, television, engine ignitions and
other electrical systems." (xx.)

viO RLD'S TOP.SCI8NTI.STS t1EET ON SPACE
San Antonlo-Nov.9 thro 13.
Some
700 experts on space met this week .. i/n
San Antonio for the second Interna~
tional Space Symposium on the Physics and t-ledicine of the Atmosphere
and Space (whew . ).
That was the official title 0 f the gathering, which
was arrange d by the Sotthwest
Research Institute and sponsercd by the
/,ir Fo rce School of Aviation Medicine.
Th is symposium br ough t one of the
~ost awso rnc arrays of scientific
mi nd s together for probably the first
time in history.
This ste ll~r collection included
such eminent titles as rndiation and
atr.:osphere experts; lunar nnd planetary obse rvers; rocket designers; and
engin e ers and physicinns!
Fortunately, none were considered
by lay observers to be simply "eggheads" or "visionaries".
Rather,
th~ public feeling seemed to run a~
long the lines of "just plain smart
men".
In fact, according to eye-wit~ a essed reports, most seemed to fecili
Lhat this was n· ~roup of men bent upon only one t h ing : getting Man into
RADIATION BSLTNLIFE ON VENUS & MARS!

Among
the mo.ny topics brought up for discussion this week at the Space Symposium w~s this business of life on
other plan·<!ts.
Two top-flight astrono me rs lli>ckcd
tel e scopes in n brief but hot dcbnte
over the possibility of life on Venus.
Dr. Gerard P. Kuiper, Dir ec tor of
Yerkes and McDonald Observatories,
launched his opinion to s ome 700 fellow scie~tists that Venus should be
removed from the list of possible
"lifo pl.a.nets".
He boom ed that said
plnnet's ntmosphcre is largely devoid of wnter end therefore is lifeless.
However, this :J.cted ns n countdown on Dr. Fred L.JWhipple, Diractor of the Smithsonian Astr6physical
Laboratory and Harvard(!) profe:;;sor
of astronomy, who blosted out of his
~hair with the nppropriate roar!
In no uncertnin terms he declared
that he would not like to close the
door on water vnpor in thc 0 otmospherc of Venus, ns the 180
