WHERE 00 WE STAND?
IT HAS BEEN NE.Am.Y twelve years now since "flying
saucers" first crossed U . s. headlines. To estimate our
position with reference to where we stood ten years ago,
five years ago and where we stand today compared to our
collective objectives is a task not to be envied.
There is little question but that much of the
enthusiasm over UFO's has vanished in recent years. A
lack of sightings and important developments plus our
practical entry into the space age (thus reducing the
aura of mystery surroundin UFO's) has undoubtedly ac
Also, the unimaginable
counted for this condition.
quantity of material--almost wholly devoid of a new
approach or even new data--that has flooded the UFO
field in recent years has done little more than to
deluge a respectable subject with wholesale garbage.
Books in all probability have accounted for more
new and renewed interest in this subject than anything
else. Moat researchers concur that the most epochal
and controversial have been !ly!ng Saucers Are Real (Key
hoe, 1950), Behind the !ly!ng Saucers (Scully, 1950),
llYlng Saucers Landed (Leslie-Adamski, 1953), !lying
Saucers from Outer Space (Keyhoe, 1953), The Report 2n
Unidentified !lying Objects (Ruppelt, 195and !lying
Saucers and the Straight-Line MY (Michel, 1958:1
It is, this writer believes, significant to note that
only two booke of unusual importance have been published
on UFO's in the past five years, and they both suffered
from notoriousl poor circulation {especially when com
pared to Keyhoe s first paperback book, which sold out
500,000 copies).
IF AESOP WAS CORRECT when he wrote, "United we
stand, divided we fall," then surely we must have fallen.
One wonders if Air Force policy has underlain the hope
of "give them enough rope and they'll hang themselves."
It might be recalled that the Air Force has never attacked
nor openly questioned the validity of any fanatic or crack
pot plaguing this research. And a greater degree of di
vision among UFO followers cannot be conceived, as M. K.
Jessup eo adequately illustrates in his article elsewhere
in this issue.
Where does the problem lie? This question can
never be answered with any certainty. Most of us have
pointed towards official censorship and ridicule. But
other important issues have survived similar problems.
Is it then the ridicule fostered by the fantastic claims
of some contact claimants {such as tales of lovers on
other worlds, space ships composed of dove feathers, etc.)?
Any new science has been faced with as many and kindred
crackpots, and has survived.
