MAN BTINDED IN uFo ENCOUNTERCycle Chosed In Colorqdo The Eortern

We are grateful to Mr. George C.Wilson of Farmington, New Mexico forhis investigation of the following incidentwhich occured neal Cortez, Colorado onthe night of the l3th of October, 1970:

At 8:45 p.m. Date Kell, l7 ard hisfriend, Diana Bard, werc riding Dale'smotorcycle on a dirt road seyeral milessouth of Cortez. A long, glowing oval orjelly-bean-shaped object rose out of thesagebrush about a hundred yards fromthe highway, approached the pair, thenchased them for several miles, Frightened,the young people stopped at a house,hoping to get someone else to see thething. When they stopped, the lights onthe object, one orange and one white,went out and they could not see itanymorc, They drove on to the Kellresidence which is located about 5% milessouthwest of Codez. They related theirexperience to Mr. and MIs. Kell, afterwhich Dale's parents and grandparents aswell as two of the younger children (11and 13) got into the family car and droveto the area described by Dale and Diana.

Upon arrival, they stopped the car andtumed out the lights. Dale ard Diana,behind them oII the motorcycle, passedthe car and drove up the road about amile. At this time th€ occupants of thecar watched as a glowing object rose fromthe gound some distance from the roadand approached the mototcycle. Mrs. Kellstaded the car, tumed on the Lights anddrove toward where Dale and Diana were,whereupon the object's light tumed offand it was not seen again.

During the coume of his investigationMr. Wilson noted a few discrcpanciescolrcerning the condition of the sky (Mrs.Kell said it was ov€rcast, Dale and Dianasaid the sky was clear and they could seethe moon), and the genelal description ofthe object.

Dale descibed an orange-white objectand was not clear as to whethe! thisinvolved two lights on an object or anorangish-white object, Both ageed thatthe size of the object, however, wasapproximately that of a pickup truck(length) and that it was between l0 andl5 feet high. They also said that when the

Mrs. Irene Glanchi, APRO Field In-vestigator in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, hasforwarded the lollowing details ol herinvestigation of a sedes of sensationa.lincidents at the Baragem do Funil, apowei plant of the Fuma Electric Ceoterat ltatiaia, in the state of Rio:

Almto Madins De Freitas. 31. is mar-ried, has three childrcn and is consideredhonest and dependable, He is employedas a patrol guard at the power plant anddam, which is considered a NationalSecudty location and therefor€ em-ployees are carefully investigated andscreened.

On the night of Sunday, August 30 at9:45 p.m., De Fleitas was at his usual postin the pow€rhouse near the prccipice ofthe dam when he saw a row of at leastfifteen blue and yellow lights ard thebeauty of the blue color impresseC himvery much. They appeared to come fromapertures or "portholes" of eUipticalshape and about a meter (40 inches)across.

After leaving the power-house heheard an explosion and the lights wentoff for a few seconds and it was then thathe saw the object at a distance oi about5G60 meters (165-200 feet). He crawledalong the dam closer to the object, linallyarrivirg at a point approximately 15meters (50 feet) from the object. Theform behind the lights was a rectangle,much like a "flying wing."

His first reaction was one ortFarand -he wanted to flee, but the object #as overthe dam and he remembered that if thedam brcke four towns and thousinds oflives would be lost, so he kept on towardthe object.

Then he dlew his gun and fired a shotat the object, and the lights on it grewbrighter and a noise like that of a tubineof a jet plane filled the air. He firedanother round from his 38 double barrel.

At this time a bluish-silver ray shot outoi the object (he couldn't determine theexact spot from which it issued - but itwas either from under or to the side ofthe "podholes") and he felt geat heat onhis body and a feeling of prickling like"pins and needles." He closed his eyesand when he opened them later he couldno longel see.

Subsequent questioning ol De Freitasdisclosed the following: The lights on th€

APRO Press Conlerence

On September 19, 1970, APRO held aoress confelence at its Alvelnon Wayoffice, at which the Scientific UFO Re-search Award (consisting of plaques and$200 in cash) was given to Dr. Walter W.Walker and Dr. Robed W. Joh.nson (seeJttly- A:ugnst Bulletin for details) Both areConsultanls to APRO in Meta-tlurgy.

Dr. Walker accepted Dr. Johoson'splaque and Dr. Frieden, APRO-Consul-tant in Optics, accepted the plaques forDr. Ellwood and Dr. Hardy, both ofwhom received Honorable Mentions. Theprcsentations were made bY Mr. L.J.Lorenze, Diiector of APRO. Part of thepresri rereasc wlr oe reproduced below asit reflects APROs current stand on theUFO problem (the fi$t part of the releasedetai.ls the llbatuba maglesium findingsreported in the July-A'Jg\tst Bulletin):

".. , Up to the present, APRO hasaproximately 20,000 reports of UFOobservations received from over 50countries during the past 19 year. Cor-relatio4s of these rcpots have indicatedsome patterns of intelligence behind UFOperformance and behaviour. A project iscurently underway to computedze allthe existing reports, thus enabling moreexpedient acquisitio of the various kindsof data and allov/ing far more comprehen-sive couelations.

"It is APROS position that the UFOphenomenon is impotant enough to war-rant a scientific and objective investiga-tion, regardless of its nature or origin.Although the Ubaluba magnesjum is avery strong irldication of extraterestdalorigin for some UFOs, there is noabsolute proof that this is the case.

"On the other hand, considering theage of our galaxy (the Milky Way), thenumber of probable planets bearing intel-ligent life with an advanced technologyand the number of star-traveling civilia-tions, there is no reason why extrateirest-rial intelligence could not visit us at thistime. Although homo sapiens does notyet have the engineering capability toundertake inter-stellar travel, there arc noknow! physical laws which would ulti-mately make inter-stell3r travel impos-sible.

"It is therefore imp.orlutta ,nua ."-search on the extlaterestrial hypothesisbe conducted, regardless of whether somebelieve this is "probable" or "improb-ably." APRO is bringing to bear thevarious scientific disciplines on the prob-lem. Only in this way will answerr beforthcoming. "

The press conference was televised byKGUN-TV and KOLDTV of Tucson aodpress covemge was given in The AizonaDaily Sta\ The Aizonu Daily l'lildcat,The Tucson Citizen (fucson) and. ThePhoenix Gazette (Phoenix).During the

following week, Dr. Walker and Mr.Richard Greenwell appeared on The Uni-versity of Adzona KUAT-TV to discussthe Ubatuba magnesium and UFO '"\search, and Mt. G.eenwell discussed tltopics extensively on KTUC-RADIO andKOPGRADIO.

Experience has demonstruted the vitalimpo ance of personal contact betweenthe central APRO office and individualsparticipating in APROs vadous activities

To this end, Mr. Richard Greenwell,APRO Assistant Director, convened aField Investigators meeting and a meetingof the Committee for Computer DataPrccessing (CCDP) at the Costa Mesahome ol Mr. Rayford R. Sanders, APROConsultant in Aeronautics and Chairmanof CCDP on August 16, l9?0' FieldInvestigato$ from the Los Angelgssuburbs and some from as fal soutl asSan Diego attended and various topicspertaining to APRO activities and generalUFO research were discussed. Dr. PhilipSeff, APRO Consultant in Ceology, droveto Costa Mesa from Redlands to attend'

Mr. Greenwell also visited Field Invest-igators in Santa Barbam and met sepante-ly with Dr. Robert M. L, Baker and Dr.Robet M. Wood. Dr. Baker, of ComputerSciences Corpomtion, has agreed toanalyze movie films for APRO and pos-sibly assist in maling recommendalions inthe A?RO computer proglam. Dr, Wood,of McDonnell-Douglas Astronautics Co.,was helpful in providing recommenda-tions and opinions related to vanousAPRO projects now underway, includingthe computer program.

Beginning August 21, Mr. Greenwelljoumeyed to New Mexjco, Colorado andWyoming, visiting Field Investigato$Gary Kinemond and Dr. Kenneth Hessel,both of Sandia Laboratories in Albuquer-que, and Dr. John. S. DerI (APRO'SConsultant in Seismology), of MartinMarietta Cop!, in Denver, Dr. Derr hasagreed to undertake a study of "earth-quake lights" and UFO sightings reportedbefore, during and after seismic activity.

on August 23, Mr. Greenwell and Dr.De attended a meeting at the home ofMr. Ken Steinmetz, APRO Field Investi-gator, in Denver. In Bouldel, Gteenwellmet with Dr. DaYid Saunders, Professorof Phsychology at the UniveNity of Colorado and author of the book "UFOslYes!"

Dr. Kuettner is Chairman of theAmedcan Institute of Aeronautics andAstronautics (AIAA) UFO Subcommit-tee, which has been studying the UFOproblem for two years,

Dr. Kuettner exprcssed interest in thecurert state of APRO's activities al}dviews were exchanged on the futurc ofUFO research. The long-awaited AIAAstatement on the subject should appear inAstronaltics and Aeronaiics before theend of 1970. (The APRO Bulletin wtlcarry a repo oII the AIAA Statementafter it appea$).

I[ Fort Collils, Mr. Greenwell metwith Mr. George Palos, a member ofCCDP, and in Laiamie he confered withDr. R. Leo Sprinkle (APRO Consuttant inPsychology), Associate Professor ofPsychology at the University of Wyom-ing Dr. Sprinkle has been applyinghypnotic techniques to UFO interveiwingand has been studying and corelatingcases involving alleged telepathic com-munications with "UFO crews."

APROOpero?ing ProceeduresFrom tim€ to time members inquAe

about the innet workings of APRO so ithas been decided to give a brief run-downof actiyities at Headquaders. Somemembe$ think of APRO in terms of ?reAPRO Bulletin. However. APRO r norjust a magazine or periodical. APRO is anorganization. When one pays $5.00 peryear one is not mer€ly subscribing to abulletin but is supportw a rcsearchorganization, Publishing the Bulletin isnot the only function performed byAPRO.

APRO's only source of income is therevenue from memberships and subscrip-tions. Every inch of space in tt.e Bulktinand every other activity APRO conductsis paid for entirely by the $5.00 annua.lmembership dues, plus occasional dona-tions from members and others.

Besides the Bal/efin, which absorbsapprcr.imately 30% of APRO'S totalbudget, there arc the following expenses;office !e!tt, lease of office equipment(copier, postage metei), purchase ofoffice supplies, salaries, postage, tele-

,F\pne service and expenses involved in.lyses of UFO residues, analyses and

qevelopmont of films and other rclatedresearch.

APRO Staff membe$ pedorm thefoUowing functions: Mr. Lotenzen: over-all dircction of the organization, outliningpolicy after consultation with other Staifmemben and the Board of Directors; Mr.Greenweil - general administration, co-ordilation of research projects amongConsultants, coordination of field investi-gations, public relations; Mrs, Lerenzen -coordination of field inyestigations,public relations, editirg The A?RO Bul-letin, mallltaini\g the APRO report files,keeping the Corpontion's books, dispers-ing fitrances, opening, distributing andlogging the mail; Mrs, Cooper - dircctsthe membelship department, answeringinquiries pedaining to membership andprocessurg new members; Mr. fuchardAchzehner - handles tranlations of in-coming foreign mail.

M!. Lorenzen performs his tasks in theevedngs and on weekends (without pay)as he is employed as an engineer at a localelectronics manufactudng firm. Mr.Creenwell presides over the businessoffice from Monday through Friday. Mrs.Lotenzen performs her duties from fiveto seven days a week, as needed, andrcceryes no lemunelatlon.

In addition to the above named staffmembe$, APRO is assisted by the fol-lowing part-time volunteer personnel:

Mr. Michael Bruno, Mrs. Helen Carroll,Mr, Thomas Gautier, Mrs. Lucinda Hards,Mn. June Nuzik, Mr. John Phelps, Mr.James Stavem, Mrs. Cha otte Taylor andMiss Shao Thomas.

It is a continuing policy of APRO toincrease the quality of the Bulletin cort-tents, both in investigated, documentedcases and in research or discussion papers.Also, speculative adicles which tend toexpand our undentanding of the UFOproblem will be published occasionally.

We call upon all members to supportAPRO and it actiyities and to assist bvrenewing at the appropriate time eacityear.

,,^object dimmed and b ghtened alternately' n this manner: yellortr, nearly white,

scintillating blue, yellow, orangey, yel-lon, blue, and so on.

Other guards in the ar€a also viewedthe object and said DeFrcitas fircd a thirdshot, screaming: "Don't look! WatchOut! The flash has blinded me!" All threebuUets were heard as they ricochetedfrom something, When the others r€achedhim, De Frcitas could not move and theyhad difficulty getting him into the car totake him to the hospital.

Within fourteen days of the incident,after many tests and hypnotic question-ing and treatment, De Freitas regained hissight, Prior to the hypnotic treatment DeFreitas had had difficulty resting; after-ward he slept and ate well and seemedrested and rclaxed.

MIs, Granchi suceeded in interviewingth€ doctor (Dr. Orlandino Fonseca) whotreated Almbo, and who diagnosed theblirdness as psychosomatic but neverthe-less caused by a real experience. While atthe Red Cross Hospital where he ra'asultimately taken after initial examinationat the Aeronautics Hospital, Almio wasin the hands of security authorities and inisolation.

Other items of interest which arerelated to the Almto Madins De Frcitascase are the following:

At the point whele the object alleged-ly hoyered, which was newly poured andwet cement (and it had been lainingheavily) the concrete had hardened andall around this area was a dry circle.Sevenl days later the concrete at thisspot was not only pc'wdery but holeswere eYident.

The Ministry of Aeroltautics an-nounced on September 4, five days afterthe occulence, that the case was underinvesti8ation and the results would ulti-mately be made public.

Tha area is undcr security guald andthe cement whele the object hovered isstill rippled and cracked.

Almiro Martins De Freitas received aquestionnaire from the National Aero-nautics and Space Administration (U.S.)which was being completed by militaryauthorities in Brazil. De Feitas was alsopersonally closely questioned by theBrazilian Ministe! of War.

There were other UFO sightirgs i.n thearea of Itatiaia, among which are th€following:

A milk truck driyer, Jose Nolberto deLima, who cafies milk from dairies inRezende ard ltatiaia to Cruzeiro, SaoPaulo, has seen the spparixion as descri-bed by De Freitas and the guards at

,'.-'Barragem do Funil so often that he hasseriously consideled quitting his job be-caus€ of the ridicule which may lesultfrom making his experiences public.

Guards at Barragem have seen theobj€ct since p9 Freitas' experience andarc literally in a state of panic.

On th€ thild of September an objectsport ing " incandescent l ights"approached the PA^'EU Radio antennaemitting pink, blue ard red lights andduring its ptesenae the station was off theair for a few moments, The tower con-troller had the presence of mind to tumthe tower light off and on sevetal times,whereupon the UFO left abruptly towardPica de Carapuca, 12 kilometers away,where it was watched together with twoother UFOS llying about the sky, byrearly all the residents of the town,

During the same time a countrywoman in Belo Horizonte State reportedshe had been chased by a UFO whichgave off geat heat on her back. It looked

like a bluish-white lamp at about 50mete$ distance (165 feet). As she ranfrom it, it rcse into the air, changed colorfrom bluish to orange. It fouowed her ata distance of 20 meters (65-70 feet) andfirally disappearcd. Two houls later thelady suffered a severe headache, visualdisturbaice and bums on her back.

On September 5th four guards at theFunil dam saw a UFO emitting lights atthe same place where Almiro Martins DeFrcitas had his experience. Guards havebeen leinforced at the installation andhave been instructed not to shoot at lheUFO.

A subsequent sighting on S€ptember 6by six guards at the Funil dam was of anobject vdth red, yellow and geen lights.It was observed while flying frommountain peak to mountain peak, fllightsfluctuatin& and finally apparently land-ing beyond a river in the djstance.Through his binocula$, Jose AntonioSilva discovercd the shape of a squarishobject much like a wingless atcraft.

We cannot thank MIs. Glanchi enoughfor her energetic pu$uance of this case.And \r'e might add that just such surveil-lance by the UFOs was predicted by thelate Dr. Olavo T. Fontes,APRO's formerBrazilian Representative. We do feelbadly, however, about misguided souls,such as Walter Bul er of Rio de Janeirowho, for rcasons not unde$tood byrational researchers, characterized Dr.Fontes as an agent of the Centnl IDteUi-gence Agercy of the United States.

Symposium -(Continued from Page One)

Symposium will be $3.75, dinner notincluded. 'the symposium fee should beremitted to Eastern UFO Symposium,7869 Charlesmont Road, Baltimore,Maryland, 21222, via check or moneyordet ono later than January loth, 1971.

Those memb€rs who wish to obtainaccomodations at the Holiday Inn shoulddo so as soon as possible, through their

local Holiday Inn which operates atelephone reservation system.

We would like to urge all members,Field Investigato$ and Consultants with-in a reasonable distance to attend thissymposium:lhe Executive Committee ofAPIGB, consisting of Donald Ratsch,Cerald Blackwell, Al Graziano and BenKnife have put considerable time, effortand financial investment into this projectand your support will be greatlyappreciated.

None of the speakers will receivehonorariums, but the expense involved inorganizing this Symposium is consid-erable so we hope the EastemmembeGhip will support it to the best oftheir ability.

While all of this was taking plac€,Steve Kell, l8%, the oldest of the Kellchildren, remained at home because hedidn't believe his brother's and MissBard's story. But he did go outside to lieon the lawn and watch the sky. Duringhis stay there a round, orange light camefrom behind the Kell house, passed abovehim, then went out of sight stiaight upinto the sky. He said he had a "funnyfeeling," but was not flightened and wentinside. Steve s€emed to be the skeptic ofthe whole group, whereas the occupantsof the car aad Diana and Dale werccompletely convinced that somethingvery unusual had happened.

Mr. Wilson checked the geneml areawhere the Kells said the object was seenwith a geiger counter which registered nomore than normal background radiation.The dogs at the Kell residence did notseem to be affected by the object ob-served by Steve,

Jayo said he looked in the tear Yiewmirror after they had passed overhead butsaw nothing. He said he had no curiosityto stop and just accelemted his car andgot out of there.

Apparently no sound was associatedwith the objects; however, Jayo's carengine may have blocked out anynorse made by them, Jayo descdbed atleagth his impression that the undeFideof the objects only was illuminated,drawing upon the compadson of aflashlight held vertically, whose illumi-nated lens could not be seen-until theviewer descends below its level, Heoffeled this angular rclationship toaccoult for his sudden observation of theclose objects.

Another comparison he made was thelollowing: as if a translucent white chinadish were illuminated by a beam of lightcast upward into its ovefurned bovd.Most light would reflect downwatd, butthe contou$ of the dish itself would bedifined by the milkT light cast outwards.Both objects wele the same shape andmoving at the same rate of speed, andJayo thought they rnight be disk-shaped.He also said he heard momentary staticon his radio as they passed over the car.

Mr, Williams noted that Jayo's car hasa tinted windshield of gaduated darkblue-green, which may haye accountedfor some of rhe color of the objects.

Outside of being a genuine UFO (addwhat are they?) the objects seen by Jayohave only two other possible explana-tions: Plasmas or meteorities. The entirereport will be turned over to the properauthority on APROs Consulting Staff andany subsequent comment will be pub-llshed i^ tt.e Bulletin.

However, we will quote her rcPort asgiven to Field Investigator A. J. Andro-polis of Sturgeon Bay, Wisco$in:

"I work the night sbift twice a week atMemorial Hospitat a! a nuNe assistant. Iwent into one of the three-bed $'ards toanswer a patient's bell at about 4 a.m.,Monday, October 5, 1970. The patientwas sitting on the edge of the bed andkept telling me he saw monekys swingingfrom trees and also sitting on the windowedge. At this time I had not looked outthe window. I told him to go back tosleep. He had rung the bell off and on fora long time and each time I had answeredit. This last time is when he hold meabout tie monkeys. The drapes wercclosed, but he could have been lookingout b€fore I came in. I got the patientback in bed and covered up and from theangle I was at I could see a bdght lightcoming throughthe side of the drapes. Iwent to tle window and opened thedrapes and immediately observed thisballoon-like object with a diffused yel-lowish-green color and pulsating motionwith a strcam of intense white lightprotruding down from the object. I wasso shocked and startled that I stood thereparclyzed lookiog at this object for about5 rninutes.

"It started to move up and away and asit did, the color seemed to change to anorange glow around the outet edge of theUFO. By the time I came to my senses Ifinally called another nuise. When we gotback to t}Ie patient's room, all thatremained was the streak of light gxaduallyfading out. I never ever gave any thoughtor comection with the monkeys thepatient told me about, and the UFO,until I talked to Mr. Andropolis. Mr. A.told me about the i]lcident at the SuttonFarm near KeUy, Kentucky for com-parison. This patient could have seensomething but all I saw is what I told Mr.A, This patient was always seeirgsomething anyway. He js a Uttle senileand a bit pesty, so it could be he didn'treally see arything at all!" Unquote.

Mr, Andropolis, who is an ait teacher,made a drawin8 of the area where theobject was seen, which was the back sideof the hospital where the emergency

entrance is located.Questioning revealed that the object

seen by the Nurse assistant was about 100feet from the hospital and about 20 feetoff the ground. lt appearcd to be huge,and she estimated it to be 100 feet long(including the white lieht) and 32 feet indiameter.

Mognetic Fields ond UFOsby Dr. James A. Harder

This is the second in a series of articlesby Dr. Harder, a Professor of CivilEngineeing at the Uniyersity of Cali-fomia, Berkelel,, and a Consultant toAPRO in Civil Engineeing.

There have been many instances inwhich magnetic fields have been obsefledin connection with UFOs, and muchspeculation that ifl some mysterious wayUFOS may be propelled or suppofied byeither magnetic or sometimes "electro-magnetic" f ields. Since the Earlh's f ielJ,something less than one gauss in strength,is so weak, there seems little likiihoodthat it could be used. This is particularlytrue when one considers that only thegradient in the field can be put to use,and that this is infinitestima.l. We (untilnow) have never been able to produce anorth pole without producing a southpole (through the use of electromagnets,perman€nt magnets, etc, which are alldipoles). Thus only when there $ agradient, or a changing field, can one olthe two poles produce a preponderanceof force over the other.

This is not to say that magnetic"uni-poles," either north or south, cannotexist; they have beerl postulated theoreti.ca.lly, and there are some very goodreasons for believing that they will event-ually be produced. They would take theform of sub-elementary particles (some-times called quarks, and for which thename "dyon" has been suggested) thatcary both an electrical and a magneticcharge. An application of quantumtheory (see "A Magnetic Model of Mat-ter" by Julian Schwinger, ,Scrence, v. 165,n 3895, August 22, 1969) suggests whysuch magnetically charged particles havenever been found - the force whichwould hold two oppositely charged parti-cles together is many times that whichholds an atomic nucleus together. It ijthese forces which (theoretically) wouldhold three dyons together to fotm aneutron, proton, or electron. Such an

elementary dyon would be permitted anelectr ic chalge of +e, -e, +2e, or -2e,wherc e is one-third the charge on anelectron. Similarly it is permitted a mag-netic charge oi +m, -m, +2m, or -2m. Themagnetic charges, for the three dyons,must add up to zero; but the electr icalcharges need not.

However the excitement oi these theo-retical possibilities lies not so much in thepossibility of forming a mageticallycharged body which would be attractedtowaJds either a north or a south pole asin the possibility of enormously morepowerful electdcal machinery.

on the Apoche JunctionPhysiccl Evidence Cose

by Dr. Robert W. Johnson

Dr, Johnson is Manager of the Cr),stalDivision, Msterials Research Corp.,Orangeburg, N,Y. and is q Consultqntto APRO in Metq.llurgl.

We are indebted to Dr. Walker for hiscarelul analysis of the artifact in this case.As reported in hjs art icie appeaing in theMay-June, 1970 issue of The APROBulletin, tt'e artifact had a core consistingof a wire made fron an iron-marganesealloy. Around it was a layer of a fibrous,organic-base material. This in tum w3scovered with a cylindrical sheath whichwas found to be calcite, a form ofcalcium carbonate,

The composition of the wire coresuggests a few possiblc fuDctiors; to con-duct electicity, to alfect a magnetic fieldby its own magnetic propeilies, to sefleas a structural element, and possibiycombinations of the above,

As a conductor, such an alloy hasappreciable resistance. If designed as aconductor, then the resistance is i i ten-t ional , s ince resistance of conductors isalways mil1imized unless needed. Resis-tance wires are ofLen used for heating. l fthat were the purpose here, the tempera-ture to be attained would probably notexceed 300t., because the sheath mater-ials would probably degrade at highertemperatures. It could also have beenintended as a resistance elemgnt presentor y to make the electrical circuit func-tion properly, as a resistor in a TV set.

Iron-manganese alloys have some dis-tinctive magnetic prope ies. Since mag-netic effects have often been associatedwith UFOS, one is led to speculate thatthe magnetic property is the importantone, if this did irdeed come from a UFO.

(See Comments - Page Eight)

FAOE 8 tHE A.P.I.O. DUlLEflN SEPTEMBER-OCTOBER, 1970

Commenls -(Conthned, lrorn Pa,ge SeDen)

But it is diflicult to calry the speculationfurther, since we have no idea howmagnetism is used in such vehicles. Also,the estimated magnetic field stlengthassociated with UFOs is beyond the langeattained in research on magnetic mater-ials. A sheath would seem unnecessary formagnetic purposes.

The most puzzling part of the story ofthe artifact is that it melted part of theplastic box it was stored in, althoughpresumably it didn't burn the finge$ thatplaced it in the box. The means of energystorage to accomplish this is not evidentfrom the description of the wire. Forrcasons given below, it is not explainedby the sheath, either.

Dr. Walker has suggested that thecalcite sheath nay have been oryinallycalcium oxide, u.'hich rcacted with carbondioxide in the air to form calcium carbon-ate, and in so doing evolved sufficientheat to pa ly melt the plastic box. Oreobjection to that hypothesis is thatcalcium oxide should also have reactedwith water vapor in the air to for:mcalcium hydroxide, but no calciumhydroxide was found. Another is that thesh€ath undergoing such a reaction wouldprobably crumble to powder because ofthe large change in volume that thematedal would undergo in that particulaireaction. An example is the so-called "tinpest" by which tin objects can turn intopowder in a cold environment due to achange of structure involving a largechange in Yolume.

If we assume that the sheath started ascalcite, we cannot invoke chemiaal heatof reaction as the cause of melting of theplastic. Actually, the ch€mical energy ofreaction could melt the box only if itwere released rather rapidly. But a rapidreaction could ensu€ ooly if there were arclatively high conccntiation of CO2 asfuel for the reaction. At normal atmos-pheric concentrations of CO2 the totalheat would probably be dissipated ovet along time, with only a sligbt dse intemperaturc. So it appeaG that the meansof energy storage is not explained by thesheath, either,

One avenue for fudher study would beto expose a calcium oxide sample to theatmosphere (in Arizona, to match condi-tions of humidity) for a period of timeand then ana.lyze it. A second line ofinvestigation would be a study of themagnetic properties of the alloy, Thisshould be done not only in the conven-tional, accepted ways but also with anadventurous, "blue sky" approach. Forexample, the investigator might try to seeif energy can be stored in the a.lloymagnetically. Many discoveries have beenmade by accidental events that wouldnever have been done deliberately be-cause "it iust isn't done."

Two From Wisconsin

Johl M. Keuey, Field Investigator, hasforrvarded the following informatiotrabout two sightings:

On November 8, 1967, Mr. and Mrs,James Dunn were driving to Sun Prafuie,Wisconsin and as they tumed onto Baileyand Nelson rbads they sav/ an objectdirectly in front of them at about 100yards distance. Dunn stopped the car andgot out and [oted that the object washoyedng about "two housetops high" ardmaking no sound. They said it appea.edto be a solid object with no wings orother protrusions and about the size of apiper cub plane with two v'/hite lightsabout the size of car headiights and veryclose together. The lights gave off nobeams. Dunn got back in his cat anddtove slowly, obsenring the object whichappeared to follow them. Becomingfrightened they increased their speed to9G95 miles per hour and the objectstayed with them at a constant djstance.As they neared Sun Praide they noted theobject had three or four small flashing redlights which appeared to be spaced aboutits outer edges. They wer smaller thanthose of a plane. The white lightsappeared to have gone off or the objecthad tumed so that they were not in vjew.

When the Dunns reached Main St. theysaw the obj€ct veer to the left in thediection toward Madison. They con-thued down Main St., turned north onBdstol and when they reached MacArthurSt. the object suddenly reappeared andfollowed them to the home of Dunn'ssister. Mts. Dunn went ir and go1 hersister-in-law who came out and saw theobject. During the next few minutes ascalls to Truax Air Force Base and policewere being made, the object disappearcd,State Police escorted the Dunns back totheirhome to get thei! daughter and babysitter as they didn't want to stay at homethat night. They thought they saw thesame object again but couldn't bepositive,

Thrce oaher couples, Mr. and Mrs.Francis Renz, Mr" and Mrs. Antone Renzand Mr. and Mrs. Robert Blakely alsorcported seeing the object at the sametime - 9 p,m.

OuI second sighting in that general ateatook place at l0 p.m" on the 8th ofSeptember 1970. Miss Denise Fritz andher friend Mike Butlet were boating onLake Monona, Wiscolsin when theybecame aware of a lighted objectapproaching the Lake. They at fiIstthought it was going to crash, but itstopped and hoyered about 50 to 100feet above some t!€es near a boatlanding on Wiuequah Road.

The obj€ct then beamed two bnghtlights at their boat. They swerved theboat a couple of times but the lightJ

followed them. They became frightened,went back to the pier as fast as theycould with the lights following theAThey didn't bother tying up the boat,mn into Denise's home. Denise said srewas so frightened that she was shakingand crying for tY'/o hou$ after theincident. Miss Fritz descdbed the objectas oval but said she couldn't focus on itvery well to be certain, It madeabsolutely no sound and neither of theyoung people felt it could have been anordinary atcraft.

Four Monona women later reportedthey had been driving in a car at thecome! of Bridge Road and Panther Trailwhen they spotted a lighted object v/hichthey first thought was a low-flying plane.They stopped the car and got out for acloser look, noting that the object wasstationary.
