Saucers, Space & Science - No 50

Magazine Overview

Title: SAUCERS SPACE & SCIENCE
Issue: no. 50
Volume/Date: 1967-68 (Winter 1967-68)
Publisher: The Canadian Aerial Phenomena Research Organization (CAPRO)
Country of Publication: Canada
Editor: Gene Duplantier

This issue of Saucers Space & Science, number 50, published by CAPRO, delves into numerous UFO sightings and related phenomena reported primarily in Canada during late 1967 and early 1968. The magazine features a blend of eyewitness accounts, official reactions, and speculative theories, with a strong focus on reports from Alberta and other Canadian provinces.

Letters to the Editor

The issue opens with letters from readers. Michael Lewis of Houston, Texas, praises the new column "UFO News You Can Use" as a good and useful idea. Bob Uderitz of Webster, N.Y., also commends the "UFO News You Can Use" column and hopes to see more of it. Paul A. Johnson of Collinsville, Conn., expresses his satisfaction with the magazine, stating that issue No. 49 was much better than he expected. A physicist, W.K. Allan of Calgary, Alberta, offers his opinion on Barry Bridgeford's theory, deeming it metaphysical due to terms like 'anti-space' and 'anti-magnetism.' He suggests that high-frequency oscillators could potentially interact with gravity waves, leading to ideas about inertial or gravity propulsion, and also mentions articles by R.H.B. Winder and Leonard Cramp.

UFO Drops Something

On July 3, 1967, Warren Smith of Calgary, Alberta, along with two prospectors, photographed a UFO. Squadron Leader E.B. Chase of Calgary reportedly called the photo the best one yet of a UFO in air force files. One of the witnesses, Lorne Grovue, stated he saw something fall from the UFO. A search yielded a hole with 'strange' ash and metallic fragments, which a local engineer found baffling. The sample contained aluminum and silver granules in an unusual state, along with an unidentified metal element. Both witnesses consulted Dr. J. Allen Hynek, and the photographs were deemed genuine.

Saucers Seen Near Forestry Lookout

Russell Hill, an Alberta forest lookout, reported four sightings near High River, Alberta. On September 18, he observed a reddish object with a green light hovering for about three hours before disappearing. He also noted that his power generator shorted out. On October 7, he heard a 'throbbing, pulsating sound' and saw a bowl-shaped object, approximately 75 feet in diameter, sweep down a valley. The lights in his cabin flickered as the object passed, which had two light exhaust flames, a green neon-like ring, and a pulsating yellow-green dome. A forestry worker in another tower reported a humming sound and distant white flashes around the same time.

Worldwide Network of 30,000 Observers

Kenneth Larson reports on the Volunteer Flight Officer Network (VFON), a spacewatching organization comprising 68 airlines worldwide, representing nearly 30,000 flight crew members. VFON collects reports on re-entering space objects, satellites, meteors, fireballs, and UFOs. Dr. Edward Condon of the University of Colorado has requested these pilot reports, though many pilots are reluctant to share due to past ridicule. VFON aims to equip flight crewmen with cameras for photographic evidence and plans to use teletype for faster report dissemination.

UFOs and the Canadian Government's Reaction

This section details the Canadian government's response to UFO reports. MP Ed Schreyer inquired about U.S. special investigation branch involvement in Canada for 20 UFO reports in Manitoba. Speaker Lucien Lamoureux cut off the subject. Defence Minister Leo Cadieux stated the department had no intention of making public its report on the Stephen Michalak case at Falcon Lake, Manitoba, acknowledging a formal investigation was conducted jointly by the defence, national health and welfare departments, and the R.C.M.P. The government had not formed a committee to review UFO questions but continued to gather information. The best picture of a Canadian UFO, taken by Warren Smith in Alberta, was interpreted by Canadian forces as measuring approximately 40-50 feet in diameter and 11-14 feet in depth, though the government did not identify the object. Mr. Cadieux confirmed that Smith's photographs were not released to the press by the department and were referred back to Mr. Smith. He also stated that individuals reporting UFOs were not asked to suppress information. The Dominion Observatory, RCAF, and National Research Council acknowledged unidentifiable UFOs, with Dr. R.S. Rettie of the NRC suggesting they could all be explained scientifically. Schreyer expressed dissatisfaction and vowed to ask further questions. The article notes that attempts to keep evaluations secret could boost UFO stock and create public unease. It also mentions that on January 3, 1968, the Canadian Broadcasting Company announced that civilian scientists would check UFOs, as the military found no national security threat. Consultations were underway to transfer responsibility for UFO report analysis to the NRC's space research facilities branch, with the rocket range at Churchill, Manitoba, becoming a clearing house. Investigations would only be recommended if they had 'scientific significance.'

Landings by UFOs Attempted on Canadian Soil

Several reports describe UFOs in close proximity to the ground or attempting landings. A Brigdenley, Manitoba couple saw a UFO hovering over their farm with pulsating lights. A district resident in October reported a daylight sighting of a round, 40-foot diameter object about 10 feet off the ground. Jim Carter and Dwight McGillivray sighted a large, disc-shaped object near Unity, Saskatchewan, which moved suddenly and appeared to descend behind a thicket. A Whitefish, Ontario boy reported a flying object trying to land in a field, causing his transistor radio to black out and the object to bear green lights. Police were called but experienced radio interference. A similar interference was noted in Sudbury. Grady Moore, a shepherd in Alberta, saw an object with many unusually bright lights hovering near his sheep camp before ascending straight up. He is deaf and heard no sound.

UFO Scrutinizes Sheep

Grady Moore, a shepherd in Alberta, reported seeing an object with many unusually bright lights near his sheep camp around 10:00 p.m. The object ascended straight up. He is deaf and heard no sound, and noted the light could not have been moonlight.

Horses Rampage, One Dies, As UFO Approaches

A glowing orange-red object sighted at the Lorne Wolgemuth farm in Sowerby, Ontario, in November 1967, is suggested as the indirect cause of a mare's death. The mare, 'Susie,' along with another horse, 'Fury,' were in a pasture. The next morning, Fury had a cut on his neck, and Susie was found dead with her throat and jugular vein cut. The electric fence was found on the ground, broken. The 'eerie, moving, glowing object' is proposed as the cause of the horses' fright. Another horse owned by R. Boyer in Thessalon reportedly 'went wild.' The editor notes that the horse Snippy, which met its demise at the hands of an alien craft, is covered in detail in two other saucer magazines.

Son of City Man Tells UFO Story

Captain Bruce Walter, a commercial pilot for 20 years from Lethbridge, Alberta, described seeing a 'real honest flying saucer' in daylight at 1:05 p.m. about 90 miles west of Fort Stockton, Texas. The co-pilot saw it first. The object was coming from the right, climbing across and above them, described as a fluorescent tube in the shape of a straight wiener, shimmering but not dazzling. It tilted after passing, appearing circular with a dull, misty bulge. They were at 37,000 feet, and the object was estimated to be at least 200 feet in diameter. Air traffic control reported nothing on radar. Walter noted that while he had seen other UFOs at night, this one was different and appeared non-hostile.

UFOs! Flying Saucers! Aliens! Creatures!

This section promotes the 'U.A.P.A. NEWSLETTER' from 'FLYING SAUCER DIGEST,' which covers UFO cases and theories. It also announces the 5th Annual Congress of Scientific Ufologists Convention to be held in Cleveland, Ohio, in June 1968.

'It' Stopped the Engine, Doused the Lights

Karl Farlow, a truck driver in Southampton, England, reported seeing a 15-foot wide, egg-shaped UFO hovering 10 feet above the road. The object was glowing green with a shallow, whitish dome. Another driver in a white Jaguar sedan, forced off the road, also witnessed the event. Both drivers' vehicle lights, horns, a portable radio, and the Jaguar's gas engine failed. The object rose vertically and then glided off easterly at a 'fantastic' speed. After the object left, the vehicle lights came back on. Police investigated and found nothing, with the Jaguar witness not wanting to get 'involved.' The constable stated Farlow appeared sober and very frightened, and that there was no explanation for the event.

UFO 'Flew Beside Train'

Engineer Wm. Benwick and other crew members of a CNR freight train reported a UFO following them on October 13th, flying alongside the train at about 100 yards. The object dived toward the train and came closer. It was sighted near Elnora, Alberta, at 1:50 a.m. The train was traveling at 50 mph. When the train stopped at Alix, the UFO also stopped and 'just hung there.' It followed the train to Mirror, described as being about the length of a boxcar (40 ft) in diameter, with colored lights and a glowing light underneath. A CNR operator also saw the UFO hovering about 15 miles east of Mirror for two hours. That same night, Mrs. David Soppit, living west of Mirror, reported hearing a humming noise and seeing a fast-moving light. The following night, another freight train engineer, Hubert Schmidt, also reported seeing a UFO.

Two Men See Object Floating Over Grassy Mountain

Max Brown, a motel operator, reported seeing a saucer-shaped object floating over Grassy Mountain, near Blairmore, Alberta. He and a camping tourist observed a very bright light in the northern skies for about 10 minutes. The object appeared five times larger than a star, floated over the mountain, reappeared, and then dropped to the ground, accompanied by a bright red light. A subsequent check of the area revealed no signs on the rocky terrain. Earlier that summer, 15 people in Coleman saw a UFO over Saskatoon Mountain, appearing as a hat-shaped object with red and green lights.

Man Sees Scoutcraft Enter 'Mothership'

Mr. and Mrs. E. Hills, along with Bert Gammies, observed mysterious entities called UFOs for over an hour through binoculars and a telescope on October 30, 1967. Mrs. Hills described hearing a humming sound and seeing a red beacon-like light moving across the lake. They watched as it moved across the lake and traveled toward Bert Gammie's place. The object was described as 'elongated' with a brilliant red haze and surrounding smaller lights. Bert Gammie saw a smaller UFO enter the 'mothership.' Another red, hazy light was seen later that night, suggesting at least two visitors. A traveler on the Cariboo Highway also observed this light form.

Russian Space Police to Check on Objects from Outer Space

Moscow is establishing the world's first space detection agency, a Soviet scientific mission to investigate corroborated UFO sightings over the Soviet Union, headed by Air Force General Anatoli Stolyerov. This represents a shift in Soviet scientific thinking, as flying saucers were previously ridiculed.

'Objects' Shun Our Space Port

For 13 years, a 1,000 square mile tract of Alberta at Suffield has been designated for UFO landings, but none have occurred. Officials have given up hope, and no civilian or defense aircraft are permitted to fly over without permission.

Alien Crafts Curious About Our Cars and Occupants

This section compiles several reports of UFOs interacting with vehicles and occupants. LAC Joe Herbert reported a UFO encounter near Rivers, Manitoba, causing a 12-hour headache and a sonic boom that shook barracks. His car was impounded for examination, which found no evidence of heat or radiation, and his medical exam was normal. In Elliot Lake, Ontario, a UFO hovered over a road, causing cars to stall due to ignition trouble. Once the object left, the cars started normally. A dark country road incident near Glencoe, Ontario, involved a spinning object with lights following a car carrying two mothers and five girls, causing Mrs. Erdely to experience a severe headache. Mr. Coad also saw the object. In High River, Alberta, Mrs. Nora Tebbs reported a black, dirigible-shaped object circling her car, causing her car lights, radio, and engine to cut out. A Calgary science teacher reported his magnetic field detector went off. In Taber, Alberta, a farmer heard a beeping noise and his truck engine stalled. A Byemoor, Alberta resident and her husband nearly collided with a UFO described as two inverted bowls, traveling at 'tremendous speed.' A switchboard operator at Currie Barracks received calls about a sonic boom and a reported flying saucer landing. Mr. and Mrs. Alex Yaroslowski of Vauxhall, Alberta, and Wilfred Alberts reported effects from a UFO, including car lights not staying on and motors shutting off. Evan Evanson, a truck driver, reported an oval-shaped object with a green glowing light that stopped when he stopped his truck, causing his radio to emit beeping sounds before disappearing. Don Letkeman, a transport trailer driver, reported a lighted object following his truck for nearly 3 hours, stopping when he stopped, and appearing bright red, then pale green with a halo effect.

Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance

The recurring themes in this issue are the prevalence of UFO sightings across Canada, the varied descriptions of these objects (shapes, lights, behaviors), and the impact they have on witnesses and their vehicles (electrical disturbances, physical effects). The magazine also highlights the official responses, or lack thereof, from government and military bodies, often portraying them as dismissive or secretive. The editorial stance appears to be one of documenting these phenomena and encouraging further investigation, as evidenced by the promotion of the UAPA Newsletter and the upcoming ufologists' convention. There's an underlying suggestion that the public is more mature and open-minded about the possibility of extraterrestrial visitors than officials might assume.

This issue of SS&S, dated Winter 1967-68, is dedicated to the phenomenon of unidentified flying objects (UFOs), with a particular focus on recent sightings and the potential for a significant development in 1968. The cover story, 'FLYING SAUCERS SEEN AS "EXPLOSIVE SITUATION" FOR 1968' by Geo. D. Fawcett, sets a tone of urgency and anticipation.

Key Articles and Reports

'FLYING SAUCERS SEEN AS "EXPLOSIVE SITUATION" FOR 1968' by Geo. D. Fawcett

This lead article posits that 1968 could be a pivotal year for solving the UFO mystery. Fawcett cites statistics, including nearly 20,000 UFO reports worldwide in 1967, averaging 57 reports per hour over the past 20 years. He notes that over 5 million Americans have reported sightings, and that the UN has termed UFOs the second major global problem. The article criticizes the US Air Force's continued release of 'questionable explanations' and reveals that the CIA had ordered the Air Force to 'debunk' UFOs in 1953, a policy that allegedly set back scientific investigation for over 14 years. Fawcett believes 1968 will be the year of decision for the government to reveal the truth. The report highlights that in 1967, 245 incidents were studied, including 75 landings, 56 photographs, 52 car chases, and numerous other types of encounters. Many incidents occurred in North Carolina, Pennsylvania, New England, and Florida, with significant numbers also reported in California, Ohio, England, Canada, Argentina, Australia, Peru, and Mexico. The article emphasizes the increase in low-level, close-up encounters and the confusion they cause for national defense, citing instances of pilots reporting near collisions and radar issues at Cape Kennedy. It also mentions civilian and military personnel shooting at UFOs, leading to injuries and deaths. Electromagnetic interference affecting various instruments and physiological effects on witnesses are also noted. The article concludes by recommending a worldwide probe of the UFO problem through the United Nations.

Witness Accounts of UFO Sightings

The magazine features numerous detailed accounts of UFO sightings from various individuals across Canada and the United States:

• Milk River, Alberta: An object approached within a mile of the highway, rose to 2,000 feet, and followed a truck until it reached Deighton.
• Yorkton, Saskatchewan (October 29): Walter Shingoose and Raymond Flamont saw a white object, casting a pinkish glow, that overtook their car and hovered over a farm for about an hour. It moved with extreme speed and performed rapid maneuvers.
• Estuary, Saskatchewan (October 28): Chris Heegs had three close looks at a large oval-shaped object, estimated at 500 feet, travelling very fast. It appeared white with bright 'white fluorescent' lights and left a yellowish-orange trail. At one point, it hovered about 50 feet off the ground, illuminating the field.
• Williams Lake, British Columbia (November 6): Glen Fenig saw an intense white light, described as about 30 times the size of any star, that zig-zagged for 45 minutes.
• Hwy. 17 East, Ontario (Early November): Terry Goodmurphy and Steven Grexton observed an orange glow that took the shape of a 100-foot diameter object. It stopped, came straight up, and travelled towards them.

Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance

The recurring themes in this issue revolve around the increasing frequency and intensity of UFO sightings, the characteristics of these objects, and the perceived lack of transparency and effective investigation by governmental bodies, particularly the US Air Force. There is a strong undercurrent of urgency, with the editorial stance suggesting that 1968 is a critical year for the resolution of the UFO mystery. The magazine actively promotes UFO literature, research organizations, and provides a platform for witness testimonies, encouraging readers to engage with the subject matter. The editorial note from George Fawcett emphasizes his long-term involvement as a researcher and investigator.

This issue of SS&S, dated Winter 1967-68, focuses on the announcement and promotion of the "SENTRY Model U.F.O. Detector." The magazine presents this device as a significant advancement for UFO research, moving beyond anecdotal sightings to scientific confirmation.

SENTRY Model U.F.O. Detector

The primary feature is the "UFO DETECTOR" by AERIAL RESEARCH SYSTEMS. The article positions the SENTRY as a response to numerous demands for a sensitive and reliable instrument. It is described not as a toy, but as a scientific instrument for serious researchers, providing physical confirmation for UFO sightings. The detector is equipped with Audio/Visual alarm systems for 24-hour magnetic surveillance, capable of operating indoors or outdoors. It aims to eliminate the need for constant "sky watching" and is particularly useful for detecting silent and inconspicuous UFOs that might be missed during daylight hours.

The advantages of the SENTRY are detailed in a numbered list:

1. Complete ease of operation: Set and forget.
2. Inexpensive to operate: Runs on "penlight" batteries only when responding to a UFO.
3. No construction, wiring, or "kit building": The SENTRY is completely assembled and ready to operate.
4. Compact design: Makes for easy transporting for use in the field or from room to room.
5. Sturdy construction: Without compromising sensitivity.
6. Durability: Will last almost indefinitely with hardly any moving parts, requiring no lubrication, maintenance, or adjustments.
7. Attractive appearance: Users will be proud to display it.

The advertisement emphasizes that the SENTRY replaces luck with science and coincidence with certainty, suggesting that without it, one might be missing significant events. The detector is available for $10.00 cash, cheque, or money order, sent to AERIAL RESEARCH SYSTEMS, Dept. S3, P.O. Box 343, Orange, Calif. 92669, U.S.A. Canadian orders add 50%.
