FROM OUTER SPACE TO YOU HOWARD MENGER 1959 www.cosmic-people.com www.angels-light.org Small spaceships of the Metharia civilization (see pic. 277 at www.cosmic- people.com) The Last of Atlantis The Atlantian stood in the blazoned night Within the disk so burnished bright, Poised to launch him into unknown space At speeds unknown in this earthly pace. This man was the best the race could find: Sound of body and sound of mind; The highest evolved of all their men To command this ship and the crew of ten. It was he who'd race at the speed of light, The first to see the galactic might Of star islands only known by few And not yet seen in earthly view. A thousands years they'd said he'd be Streaking through the galactic sea To a target 500 light years hence In a state of time held in suspense. With a mighty surge the disk took flight Upward, upward into endless night, Lost soon in the starry heavens black As this man cast one long glance back. Years to decades to centuries became Man learned to hurt, to kill, and maim, Slipping backward from the heights attained As the light of love grew dim and waned. As the earth returned to a barbaric age A new life cycle turned its page. The earths' crust split and spewed up flame, And the boiling sea scaled Atlantis' shame. * * * * * Ten centuries passed and the ship returned To an earth now degenerate and burned, Not fit to sustain the life of few Who'd lived the Creator's love and knew. They hovered for months about our earth, Vainly seeking a new hope's birth, Saw naught but ego, hate and pain— Man against man for paltry gain. With heavy heart and saddened eye, This man of space soon cast the die, Turned the ship outward to endless space To find a home to sustain his race. In the spiraling star dust lies a far-off land Where even now they'll lend a hand To raise us from our knees to see The errors that cast them beneath the sea. C. B.

BRIEFING It is evident that we are past the threshold of a new era, not only in scientific advancements, cultural growths, and the ethical and social development of all peoples, but in two other major areas of life: the geophysical, which has to do with the physical changes going on and about to take place in, on and above our Planet Earth; the other is the spiritual renaissance of all people on the planet. The geophysical changes have already been predicted by our own scientists, with their announcements that the axial motion of the earth is 23 degrees off; with the piling up of ice on the South Pole, affecting sea, air and land masses; and the cyclic changes, which seem to take place periodically. The spiritual growth of the people, is, of course the universal desire for freedom and liberty and the worship of One Creator, along with the brotherhood of man and the Fatherhood of God. If, due to our experiments with atomic and thermonuclear explosives, we are dealing nature a bad blow to an already weakened condition, two things must be prevented: atomic and hydrogen blasts— and general warfare. Let us assume that there is on this planet a group of scientifically minded and spiritually dedicated men and women who are working to accomplish this great task. And, let us further assume that they have already established contacts with equally dedicated people of other planets. To continue their work and remain effective, they must of necessity remain behind the scenes. However, they can, in the interest of humanity in general, send out hints as to what will take place in the near future. Perhaps they send out scouts to make personal contacts for the specific reason of determining the reactions of every-day people. Perhaps it is done as a "smoke screen" to temporarily keep secret the real work which is going on until such time that the people are prepared to meet this new era with many changes it will bring. There are perhaps, many bases of operation already established on, under and above this earth which prepare to meet this coming challenge. The increased sightings of spacecraft give evidence to the hidden activities. And what are these "signs in the sky" so many people are seeing, and why do descriptions vary, and how can the craft seem to appear and disappear? Perhaps all this can be explained by simple laws we have not yet learned about. Or perhaps they are merely projections, designed to divert or attract attention, depending upon the circumstances involved. Then there are the personal contact stories, some of which are authentic, and which have been established for study purposes and for keeping alive a story which must eventually be brought before all people. If given in small doses, the general acceptance will be made over a period of time, and will take place almost naturally. Let us imagine, then, that this great work is being carried on by a universal group of men and women with contacts in every government in the world (world leaders included) and in every walk of life. And this group, I would like to believe, is dedicated to saving mankind and this Planet Earth, so that we too can step out into the Universe and travel to our neighboring worlds.

And they hope you liked the book (*) PRESENTING THE PILOT Introductory speech made by Cortland Hastings at the Pythian Temple, New York City, December 16, 1956: My name is Cortland Hastings. My function is to introduce to you Howard Menger. But first, let us adjust our perspective—look at ourselves and the earth in relation to the universe. Astronomy is the science of studying celestial bodies: their positions, sizes, motions, constitutions or compositions, their mutual relationships, their histories, their destinies. Astronomy treats of the earth only in relation to the celestial bodies. The first question is, what is the age of the universe? The answer: the universe is ageless. Some orthodox religions teach that the earth is but a few thousand years old; however through the study of uranium, with its progressive half-life reduction every five billion years (that is, every five billion years it loses 50 per cent of its strength), the earth has now been found to be some three or three and one-quarter billion years old.
