The discs show signs of intelligent guidance, by
quasi-human pilots. The authorities in possession
of important information should not hesitate to
enlighten the public as soon and as completely
as possible."

Flying Saucer Review, Vol. 1, No. 2, 1955

you this, were you there with me? Did you have the
clearances? They can't answer these questions.
They simply criticize with no evidence."

"It was the darndest thing I've ever seen. It was big.
It was very bright. It changed colors and it was
about the size of the moon. We watched it for ten
minutes but none of us could figure out what it
was. One thing's for sure, I'll never make fun of
people who say they've seen unidentified objects in
the sky." "I believe UFO's exist because I have
seen one."
President Jimmy Carter while campaigning in May,
1976, recalling his UFO sighting as Governor of
Georgia in October, 1969

"I believe that these extraterrestrial vehicles and their
crews are visiting this planet from other planets,
which are obviously a little more technically
advanced than we are here on Earth. I did have
occasion in 1951 to have two days of observation of
many flights of them, of different sizes, flying in
fighter formation, generally from east to west over
Europe."

"The subject of UFOs is one that has interested me for some long time. About ten or twelve years ago, I made an effort to find out what was in the building at Wright Patterson Air Force Base where the information is stored that has been collected by the Air Force, and I was understandably denied the request. It is still classified above Top Secret."

interested in the phenomenon of flying saucers."

for all we can determine the true facts about
flying saucers."

death in a letter to Gray Barker, Publisher of
Saucer News, May 9, 1968

"I just sort of turned around and there was this thing
about a hundred foot away. And very low, below the
height of the buildings, you know. And I'm thinking,
what is it? It's a flying saucer, it must be a flying
saucer. You don't want to face it, you know. Even if
you're a freak like me , you still want to think, oh it's
a balloon or something, you know."
John Lennon on NY radio station shortly after his
UFO sighting in New York City on August 23, 1974
