This issue of The Little Listening Post presents a blend of philosophical commentary, UFO reports, and predictions for the future, framed within a context of impending global change.

Editorial: You Are Sitting in at the Drama of the Ages!

The lead editorial frames current events as a dramatic struggle between Good and Evil. It criticizes modern philosophies, particularly Existentialism, exemplified by Jean Paul Sartre, as a 'weird and godless viewpoint' that has permeated literature, art, and youth culture. The editorial laments the loss of innocence and beauty in the world, attributing it to a 'searing scourge' of modern thought and behavior. It contrasts this with 'Ancient Wisdom' traditions like Christian Science and Theosophy. The piece calls for 'awakened souls' and 'Vision' to usher in a 'New Age,' referencing sightings of 'SKY SHIPS' and 'Angel feet' as signs of evolutionary change.

News in Capsule

This section provides brief reports on various topics:

• Sky News: Reports a temporary, worldwide increase in radar echoes in mid-1963, baffling scientists. Mentions a Big Space convention in Houston planning a 'Manned Mission to Mars' and 'How to Steer Around Venus.' Notes Italy's launch of its first satellite. Cites Russian astronomer N. S. Kardashev's belief that newly discovered radio signals from Constellations of Aries & Pegasus might be 'artificial' and 'beacons of super-civilizations.' Gordon W. Creighton is quoted stating Russia is preparing its people for 'enormous shocks' to their conceit. Reports on recently discovered quasi-stellar objects (SF's) in Galaxy 3C2, described as trillions of times brighter than the sun. Dr. Harrison Brown of Caltech suggests that most visible stars likely have planets, with at least two in each system capable of supporting life. The U.S. aerospace industry is highlighted as the largest single industry, and the race to Mars between the U.S. and Russia is framed as a 'long-distance Sweepstakes.'
• Here & Coming: Mentions Krebiozen cancer patients suing the U.S. Government. Foresees miniaturized TV circuits and voice-activated electronic gadgets. Notes the exhibition of the Dead Sea Scrolls, which are enriching knowledge of Biblical times. It draws a parallel between the Dead Sea Scrolls discovery and the arrival of Flying Saucers in 1947.
• It-Was-Whispered-To-Us-Dept.: Reports that Wright-Patterson AF Base has witnessed many UFOs, and a club of Airmen who had seen Saucers existed there. A major religious group is expected to discuss 'space people.' A high government committee is reportedly considering inviting a 'Saucer contactee' to bring a 'Spaceman along.' A disabled Flying Saucer allegedly landed on White Sands Missile Range and was 'captured.' An 'in-the-know' Alamogordo resident told LLP that FBI men were flown in from Washington. A UN correspondent was told the UN had considered the subject of Flying Saucers and planned a meeting. Disappearances of ships and planes are linked to UFOs. Buckingham Palace reportedly has a special room containing 'every Saucer book written.' The U.S. Government has contracted companies to discover methods of communicating via ESP, and the U.S. is said to have the upper hand in the 'Telepathy Race' with Russia.

Dan Fry Spends 3 Days at The Little Listening Post

Dan Fry, a pioneer rocket scientist and UFO researcher, lectures on his own expense, believing people have a right to know about impending changes. He expects a 'BIG CHANGE SOON' and notes that science now accepts 'life on other planets.' He addressed 600 people in Long Beach, California, including engineers and executives. Fry believes Flying Saucers will make real landings when the majority of Earthlings are ready. He states that geophysicists confirm an impending earthquake disaster in California. Fry asserts that evil is fighting harder but will peak in 2-3 years. He warns that if Armageddon occurs, it will set humanity back 5000 years. He also notes that the Cuban crisis brought the world within a 'hair's breadth of total disaster,' and that Russia and the U.S. can destroy a vast percentage of each other's populations. Fry believes the end could come 'ANY HOUR OF ANY DAY.' He presented two artifacts 'not of this earth' for testing by a government agency. Fry has appeared on 900 radio and TV programs and plans to launch his own radio station to broadcast 'New Age' news and UFO developments.

Hopi Indians Visit LLP Jiggs Room

Three senior members of the Hopi Tribe, including a chief over 100 years old, visited LLP. They shared ancient prophecies, stating that 'Hopi' means 'peace' but that humanity is at a 'cross-roads of destruction.' They believe the 'Great Spirit' has held back a 'Great War' but that the 'DAYS OF PURIFICATION are upon us.' The Hopi have known of 'talking thru cobwebs' (telephone lines) and of 'a ball as powerful as the sun' (H-bomb). They anticipate 'Great Spirit will send messengers to watch us' (Saucers) and believe 'we cannot change the plan of the Great Spirit.' They are preparing for a final day when 'things in the sky will go in all directions.' The article notes there are 5000 Hopis, considered the most esoteric tribe in the U.S.

"Peace Pilgrim" Comes A'Calling

The 'Peace Pilgrim' shared her journey of walking over 25,000 miles for peace, with the slogan 'I will walk until I am sheltered, I will fast until I am fed.' She has been asked to speak in many pulpits and groups. She recounted an experience in a snowstorm where a 'face' appeared and guided her to shelter. Like the Hopis, she believes we are in the 'time of the End' and that humanity walks a 'KNIFE-EDGE,' facing destruction or a 'New Age.'

Louise Morse of Morse Foundation

Louise Morse gave a session at LLP, stating that Earth's redemption is near and spiritual individuals will be gathered. She believes 'Celestial ships surround the Planet' and that individuals are atomic energy being accelerated to rise with 'Vibrations' and be 'absorbed' into 4-D.

LLP Attends Lecture on Prophecies for 1965 by World Evangelist

An evangelist predicted that 'We are now in the Last Days. The End is close.' He stated that all prophecies for this period have been fulfilled and that the next 12 months will be perilous. He foresees major global upheaval, including Africa exploding, nature revolting with extreme events like earthquakes and floods, and moral decay reaching shocking heights. The evangelist believes the only hope is for individuals to achieve 'internal awareness' or for Jesus to 'soon appear.' He announced a coming 'MINISTRY TO THE SPIRIT OF MAN' involving prophecy and laying on of hands, as people demand action from the pulpit.

Author Trevor James Comments

Trevor James states that mankind is entering an era of 'direct perception of the etheric,' citing 'fireflies' seen by astronauts and other 'bewildering etheric fauna' photographed. He heralds an 'EVOLUTIONARY EPOCH THAT IS IMMINENT,' but notes that humanity's resources for facing it are 'slender indeed.'

Supplement: Flying Saucers Buzz Washington, D.C., & Many Cities in Virginia!

UFOs Over the Capitol Dome: On January 11, 1965, a dozen white, oval-shaped objects appeared over the Capitol Building at 4:20 PM. Twelve government officials witnessed the event. Two delta-wing jet planes attempted to chase the UFOs, which engaged in evasive maneuvers. Radarmen at Washington's National Airport reported no blips, but FAA received many phone calls. The Air Force denied the incident.

Witness Account: Paul Dickey, Jr., appeared on Washington TV, describing a large, cavorting UFO captured in a film made by author George Adamski in October. This film was shown to a government committee but received no public comment.

The Blue Ridge Flap: From December 21 to January 29, UFOs were sighted near the Blue Ridge Mountains in Virginia. Horace Burns reported a 'large metallic object' landing in a field, described as 'LIKE AN UPSIDE-DOWN ICE CREAM CONE,' about 125 ft in diameter. A Geiger counter detected high radiation at the landing site. The object reportedly rose and zoomed away. A similar object was sighted over Staunton a month later. Reports also include a 'ROUND, ORANGE-COLORED OBJECT WITH SILVER-LIKE PRONGS' seen in Waynesboro. A 'monstrous cigar-shaped object ablaze with lights' flew over Los Angeles. A Canadian weekly reported a Saucer landing near Montreal, leaving a 30-ft circular imprint and a scorched tree.

Eyewitness Accounts: A caller on KYW radio in Cleveland described a 'very large UFO with about 30 windows on its side.' A poll in Oyster Bay, L.I., N.Y., indicated that one-third of respondents believe in Saucers, one-third are undecided, and one-third do not. Eighty percent believe in intelligent life outside our solar system.

British UFO Interest: London's "Flying Saucer Review" is noted for its steady probing, contributing to stronger pro-Saucer sentiment in Britain. The passing of its editor, Waveney Girvan, is regretted.

Lunar Sighting: Five astronomers in Flagstaff, Arizona, observed '31 gigantic spacecraft' moving across the Moon on November 27, 1963. The objects were described as white & ruby red, in geometric formations, and over 1000 ft in diameter.

Ongoing Reports: As January 1965 ends, reports continue to roll in from cities like Richmond, Petersburg, and Williamsburg, Virginia, as well as from suburban areas around Washington and Baltimore. At Manassas, Virginia, 14 people reported UFO sightings in seven days.

Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance

The recurring themes in this issue are the critique of modern secular philosophy and its perceived negative impact on society, the pervasive presence and alleged government cover-up of UFO phenomena, and the anticipation of a transformative 'New Age' or evolutionary epoch. The editorial stance is clearly aligned with a belief in extraterrestrial intelligence, government secrecy, and a spiritual or evolutionary shift occurring in the near future. The magazine positions itself as a source of vital, often suppressed, information for those seeking to understand these profound changes.
