Interplanetary News Service

The INS boasts a membership of over 150 individuals across 38 states and overseas, with branch offices in England and on the West Coast of the USA. Beckley clarifies that the name 'Interplanetary' signifies the organization's broad scope and large membership, not necessarily a belief in extraterrestrial origins for UFOs. The INS is keen on fostering UFO group unity and welcomes the exchange of publications, news clippings, reports, and photos with similar groups worldwide. Their policy is one of open-mindedness to all ideas and opinions, featuring articles from prominent UFOlogists such as Gene Duplantier, George D. Fawcett, and Brinsley Le Poer Trench. Past issues have covered significant events, including the 'Eagle Lake Case'. Those interested in correspondence can reach Timothy Green Beckley at 3 Courtland Street, New Brunswick, New Jersey, USA.

Details on California Ball of Fire Sighting

This section details a UFO sighting that occurred over Greenfield, California, on December 14, 1962. The object, described as a mysterious 'ball of fire' that was alternately red and white, was first observed by police officer Nick Heinz at 4:30 AM, hovering at an estimated altitude of 10,000 feet and heading South. Later, at 6:00 AM, a newsboy also saw the object. By 7:00 AM, Constable and Mrs. Ted Miller observed the glowing object through binoculars, noting it had risen to an estimated 60,000 feet. The object gradually changed from bright red to white as it moved South. Similar sightings were reported by others, including a military policeman at nearby Fort Ord who reported a 'flash of light' at 4:15 AM. The source for this report is attributed to Mr. Robert J. Gribble of NICAP, referencing an article from 'The Californian'. No explanation for the phenomenon has been offered.
