The Bob Renaud Story - Part 37
This installment continues Bob Renaud's account of his contacts, focusing on his sixth in-person encounter on March 4, 1964. He describes being picked up by a "scout ship" piloted by "Orii" and taken to a massive "mother ship" designated SPC-12. The journey involved entering the scout ship, which Orii explained was capable of travel in "any medium, from deep water to deep space."
Upon arrival at SPC-12, Renaud experienced the ship's airlock, which featured an iris diaphragm. Inside, he was impressed by the scale of the vessel, noting a large hangar capable of holding numerous ships, some significantly larger than their scout craft. He was taken to a control room where he learned about the ship's advanced systems.
A significant revelation was the "Atomic Duplicator," a device that takes an "atomic photograph" of an object or person. This technology, Renaud was told, could be used to annihilate a damaged body and recreate a new one from the recorded pattern, offering a form of "suspended teleportation." He muses on the potential for this technology to simplify life on Earth and even offer immortality.
Renaud also visited the Radiation Laboratory, where he saw a machine capable of producing intense radiation, and the Recreation Floor, which included a ten-lane bowling alley. He sampled a "synthetic ham sandwich" and noted its delicious taste, attributing its creation to the Atomic Duplicator. The tour also included a brief viewing of a parody of "My Favorite Martian" on a TransGalaxy Video transmitter and news footage of the Vietnam War.
The Bob Renaud Story - Part 38
Part 38 details Renaud's seventh in-person contact on July 30, 1964, which he considers the most momentous. The contact involved a mission to the Pentagon in Washington D.C. using a "special research ship."
Renaud was given the opportunity to pilot a scout ship himself, an experience he found both thrilling and nerve-wracking. He describes the controls and the ship's rapid ascent. After successfully docking with the larger mother ship, he was briefed on the mission: to plant "psychprobes" on the Pentagon roof.
These psychprobes, described as small, 2-inch diameter balls, were designed to monitor brain activity. The operation involved using a laser beam to create a small hole in the roof, dropping the probe, and then using a "Heat beam" to melt the surrounding material, sealing the probe invisibly. Renaud participated in planting one of these probes.
He learned that the probes were attuned to specific mental frequencies and would disregard others. Their power source was derived from the "weak-but-usable radiations emitted by the building's wiring." The ultimate goal was to plant "over ten thousand" such monitors in Washington alone, with a long-term plan for half a million.
Renaud was then given a demonstration of controlling a Pentagon officer remotely using a headset. He experienced the officer's office and observed his normal reactions, but also felt the officer's unease and psychic resistance to the control. This experience led Renaud to reflect on the immense power of such technology and the critical need for spiritual maturity and social responsibility to prevent its misuse.
He was shown a display of pen-recorders that charted the officer's brain activity, illustrating the mental struggle against the remote control. The text warns of the potential for "instant insanity and heart attack by remote control" if such technology were misused.

Technology and Ethics
The issue delves into several technological marvels, including:
- Teleportation: The ability to transmit and reconstruct matter instantaneously.
- Atomic Duplicator: A device that can create exact replicas of objects or beings from an atomic blueprint.
- Psychprobes: Devices used to monitor mental activity and potentially influence thoughts and actions.
- Advanced Recording Technology: Use of metal tape and laser beams for high-fidelity recording at slow speeds.
These technological discussions are interwoven with ethical considerations, particularly regarding the potential for misuse of such powerful tools by humanity, given its current level of moral and spiritual development.
Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance
The recurring themes in this issue revolve around the reality of UFOs and extraterrestrial contact, the advanced nature of alien civilizations, and the potential implications for humanity. The editorial stance, as presented through Renaud's experiences and the narrative's tone, is one of awe and wonder at the alien technology, coupled with a strong sense of caution regarding humanity's readiness to handle such power. There is an underlying message that humanity needs to "grow up" and achieve greater spiritual maturity to responsibly integrate such advanced knowledge and technology. The magazine consistently promotes the idea that what is conceived can be achieved, encouraging readers to question conventional scientific paradigms and remain open to extraordinary possibilities.
This issue of "Flying Saucer News" is dated November 22, 1968, and is published by the Amalgamated Flying Saucer Clubs of America, Inc. (AFSCA). The main cover headline poses the fundamental questions: "FLYING SAUCERS: WHAT ARE THEY, WHERE ARE THEY FROM, WHY ARE THEY HERE?" The issue features a detailed diagram of an "Alliance Scoutcraft" and continues the "Bob Renaud Story."
The Bob Renaud Story (Cont'd)
Bob Renaud recounts his experiences with extraterrestrial beings, referred to as 'Space People,' named Orii and Lin-Erri. He describes a demonstration of their technology, including a 'Remote Psychprobe' that analyzed the unconscious mind and memories of a taxi driver three miles below their craft. The probe revealed personal details about the driver, such as his name (Peter), age, family, car, and even his opinion of Barry Goldwater. Renaud was assured that a censor circuit prevents intrusion into strictly private thoughts, upholding a sense of ethics among the Space People. The article concludes with a promise of continuation and previews the next issue's topic: "Conference At Massachusetts Underground Base."
Notes at the end of the article indicate that parts 1-36 of "The Bob Renaud Story" are available in previous issues, and a special message from the 'Korendians' is in issue #2342. Back issues are available for purchase.

AFSCA: World's Largest Contactee-Oriented Flying Saucer Research Organization
The publication introduces AFSCA, headquartered in Los Angeles, California, founded by Gabriel Green. It then poses and answers 18 questions about flying saucers, their origins, occupants, technology, and purpose.
Key points from the Q&A include:
- What are Flying Saucers? Extraterrestrial spacecraft, often saucer-shaped, some tubular or cigar-shaped, built to duplicate occupants' environments. Smaller craft are used as sensor devices.
- Where do they come from? Other planets in our solar system (Mars, Venus, Saturn), other star systems, and other galaxies.
- What do occupants look like? Humanoid, able to pass unnoticed, with varied skin/hair color and size (3-10 feet tall), often appearing youthful despite long lifespans.
- How can they look like us? Their planetary environments are often closer to Earth's than commonly believed, with similar temperatures and atmospheric conditions. Underground bases on the Moon and other moons provide artificial environments.
- Do they speak our language? They have native tongues and a universal language, and quickly learn Earth languages by monitoring broadcasts.
- How do saucers fly? They use electromagnetism and gravitational fields, not aerodynamics. They draw power from the universe and hover by manipulating gravity.
- How do they make sharp turns? The electromagnetic power propels every atom in the craft, eliminating G-forces.
- How do they disappear? By increasing their electromagnetic field strength, light is bent around the craft. They can also phase out radar signals.
- How can they travel vast distances? They state that the theory of matter ceasing to exist at light speed is invalid, and that human progress is limited by mental roadblocks. They have achieved speeds far exceeding light speed.
- What is life like on other planets? War, poverty, intolerance, injustice, disease, and major crime are eliminated. Manufacturing is automated, sustenance is a birthright, and there is ample leisure time for travel.
- Are other planets organized? Yes, into various organizations, with the Universal Alliance of Planets being the largest in their sector. Human membership is possible in about 200 years.
- How can human life exist on other planets? Current scientific understanding is limited; spectrographic analysis of Earth's atmosphere is inaccurate, suggesting life could exist on other planets with similar conditions.
- Why does government policy debunk UFOs? Fear of constructive changes, maintaining power through ignorance, and controlling people's minds, votes, and pocketbooks.
- What is the purpose of their visit? To guide humanity's evolution, help solve problems, and prevent self-destruction (e.g., from atomic bombs and radiation). They aim to help create a healthier, happier, peaceful, just, and abundant world.
- What is the source of this information? Summaries of experiences and information from hundreds of people who have had in-person or telepathic contact since 1950.
- How can I help? Learn about the subject and share the information. Reprints of the leaflet are available.
- What is AFSCA? A worldwide, non-profit organization disseminating information on advanced Flying Saucer research since 1959, with members in all 50 states and 23 foreign countries.
