Story, Doubleday & Company, Inc., Garden City, N.Y., 1980: -Airship Wave of 1896 -Charles Fort -Fortean Society -"Flying Saucer" -Ghost Rockets of 1946 -war of the Worlds Broadcast A research paper for a 1976 conference on UFOs organized by Dr. J. Allen Hynek, Director of the Center for UFO Studies: "UFO NAVE OF 1947: CALIFORNIA, JUNE 2S- JULY 16, 1947" ACKNOWLEDGMENTS I would like to express my deep appreciation to Vincent H. Gaddis for the gift of his UFO newspaper clipping collection that proved invaluable; and Dr. Herbert J. Strentz for the loan of microfilm he used to write his dissertation in journalism and public affairs: "A Survey of Press Coverage of Unidentified Flying Objects, 1947-1966." Dr. Strentz' research was in part supported by the 1968 Colorado UFO study and the microfilm he made available included: Air Force Blue Book reports, Letters from the public to the Air Force about UFOs, and the UFO news­ paper clipping file of the National Investigations Committee on Aerial Phenomena. Dr. Bruce Maccabee's work on obtaining FBI UFO documents was critical, and while the data has been already widely published, it was indispensable to the success of this history. He also added his personal encouragement and made available detailed notes . of his personal UFO investigations. Brad C. Sparks, who is proving to be the best of a new genera­ tion of UFO researchers, helped correct some errors in dates and names and in general gave excellent advice. Most of all, I would like to single out Stanton Friedman. His positive attitude and his suggestions were vital to the final completion of this research work, to say nothing of his allowing me access to his extensive collection of UFO material.

Charles Fort The Book of the Damned 1919 INTRODUCTION During the last months of World War II Germany bombarded the Allies with V-1 flying bombs and V-2 high trajectory rockets. While these weapons were developed too late to play a significant role in the outcome of the conflict, it was apparent such weapons would prove to be a vital part of the future arsenal of the major powers particularly with the advent of the nuclear age. The emergence of the Russian menace soon after the defeat of Hitler meant that any rocket research conducted by the Soviets was of intense interest to the United States. Drawing on the British experience in dealing with the Nazi v-weapon threat, the American government established a special Intelligence committee empowered to extract data from a wide variety of sources. The need to accurately assess Russian rocket hardware and technical competency was demonstrated by strange "ghost rocket" reports from the Baltic region during the Summer and Fall of 1946.

  • 1962-11 Millman
    MINUTES SPECIAL COUNCIL MEETING OF THE METEORITICAL SOCIETY held at Los Angeles, Calif., Sat., 17 Nov. 1962 PRESENT: President Peter M. Millman, Past-President John A. Russell, Editor Dorrit Hoffleit, Councilor C. H. Cleminshaw, and Secretary Gerald L. Rowland. Since Peter Millman and Dorrit Hoffleit were both in Los Angeles at the same time, and since it was possible to get a quorum of the Council together, President Millman called a Special meeting of the Council for Sat., 17 Nov. 1962. The last Council minutes (of 4 Sept., 1962) were read in order that those present might know the business that was transacted at Socorro, New Mexico. After some discussion, it was moved, seconded, and approved that arrangements be made for the transfer of a suitable number (approximately 40) of the 4 issues of Vol. I of Meteoritics from Springer Transfer Co. in Albuquerque, N. M., to John Russell at U.S.C. The Council approved the expenditure of whatever funds are necessary for this operation. John Russell reported that the Leonard Memorial Medal, which was displayed at the Socorro meeting, was unsatisfactory and that it is being re-done by the Southern California Trophy Co. The Council was reminded that the fund established for the Leonard Memorial Medal is still open for contributions. The cost of engraving and striking each individual medal to be presented will call for a nominal expenditure from time to time. The Council next suggested the following chairmen (subject to the individual's acceptance) for the standing committees of the Society: Eugene Shoemaker (Membership and Fellowship); Oscar Monnig (Finance and Endowment); Editor Dorrit Hoffleit (Publications).

  • O Lunar and Planetary Institute Provided by the NASA Astrophysics Data System the BELLS CARBONACEOUS CHONDRITE
    BELLS-A CARBONACEOUS CHONDRITE RELATED TO C1 AND C2 CHONDRITES; Andrew M. ~avisland Edward 01sen2. l~amesFranck Institute, University of Chicago, 5640 South Ellis Avenue, Chicago, IL 60637; 2~epartmentof Geology, Field Museum of Natural History, Chicago, IL 60605. The Bells, Texas meteorite fell on September 9, 1961. It was classified as a Type I1 carbonaceous chondrite by Mason [I]. Bulk samples of Bells have been found to contain 13 to 16 wt% magnetite by magnetic methods [2,3]. This is far more magnetite than is normally found in C2 chondrites and is slightly higher than the levels found in C1 chondrites [3]. McSween and Richardson [41 measured the bulk composition of "matrix" in many carbonaceous chondrites (including Bells) by broad beam electron microprobe analysis. They found a range of compositions among the phyllosilicate matrices of C1 and C2 chond- rites. Bells and the C1 chondrites are at the Fe-poor, Mg- and Si-rich end of this range. McSween [5] point-counted many C2 chondrites and found Bells to be among the most matrix-rich of them. He found a correlation between the composition of matrix and vol% matrix and suggested that increasing degree of alteration of chondrules and inclusions leads to increasing matrix fraction and decreasing Fe content of the matrix. According to his model, Bells should be among the most heavily altered of the C2 chondrites. Until recently, most of the recovered samples of Bells have been in the private collection of Mr. Oscar Monnig and the only sample available for pet- rographic study has been a tiny thin section.
