    TltE L0nlD[Lfl l ll l i lG"l lcl l lEllUFOsOverD. C.The Amateur Radio Magazine of March1965 carried a short mention of a recentreport of a total of L2 speedy discs flyingover Washington, D. C. It seemed on eworker in an office spotted the firstdiscs and alerted five fellow workers.They all stood and lvatched the first sixrvhich were shortly followed by a halfdozen more.The writer went on to saY that when

    the observers notified a Washingtonpaper they got a big turn-down. Whena local TV Station interviewed one ofth e men, high government pressure wa sallegedly brought to bear an d th e other{ive observerswere told to be quiet aboutrvhat they sarv. Seems the building wasgovernnrent olvned an d th e windowstherefore government property an d sothe observers were looking at a classifiedsight.The Washington Post lor 13 JanuarY1965 carried an article which identifiedthe building involved as the lVlunitionsBuilding on 19th Street and ConstitutionAvenue N. W and said th e date of th eincident wa s 11 January 1965. It read:"According to Paul M. Dickey Jr. andEd Shad, who were two of a dozen ob'servers at the windows, there were 12to 15 white, oval-shaped objects movingin erratic courses about 12-15,000 eetabove Capitol Hill. And they were beingchased by tw o delta-winged je t planes.The sight was visible for several minutes,they said. The Defense Department,rvhich has been up to its ears in reportsof unidentified flying objects so longthat the things are now known by initials,UFO, said simply: "There was no suchincident; it just didn't happen." A spokes-man for military installations in theWashington area had the same comment.Nevertheless, Dickey and Shad and threeother Communications Specialists em-ployed by the Army-Sam Webb, JackMcBride and Sam Marrone-are convin-ced they saw rvhat they think they saw.They agreed on the shape and approxi-mate number of the discs and the factthat the things were speeding fasterthan the je t intercepters. They agree(See "D . C. " page 5)

    UAO Phofogrophed feorlyln AuslrofioAn object described as a bright orangeglow with a "dent" on top and a "knot"on the bottom, has been photographedat sea by a ship's steward who is also anamateur photographer.Mr. Walter Jacobs. steward on thefreighter Iron Duke, said he saw the ob-ject soon after 10 p.m. on March 17, 1965,when he began to photograph a moon-cloud effect while at sea on the way toNewcastle.Astronomical experts in Adelaide havebeen unable to positively identify the ob-ject. Prolessor J. H. Carver, Professor ofPhysics at Adelaide University an d pa -tron of the Astronomical Societyof SouthAustralia, said on 4 April that the de-scribed behavior of the object wa s con-sistent with that of an aircraft equipedwith a very strong spotlight.An RAAF spokesman said that to hisknowledge there had been no Planesusing powerful spotlights in the area at

    that time. Another expert said he thoughtthe object could only have been a satel-lite orbitting the earth and illuminatedby the moon.There was no information in the Mel-bourrie Herald article concerning the ex-ac t geographical location of the freighter.Neither did the article state whetherthe movies were black and white or incolor or still or moving pictures althoughthe articles seem to indicate the photosare color motion films.Rodor llFO "Disgnosed"

    On 29 December1964 he Presswiresthroughout the U. S. buzzedwith a mo'mentous news that two radar opelatorsat Patuxent Naval Air Station in Mary'land had tracked two unidentified radarreturns 30 miles south of the base andtraveling at 4800miles per hour. Theyapproached he Base, executeda tightturn and disappeared rom the scopestill flying in formation.The exact dateis not known, but severaldays ater, theAF chargedwith investigatinghe report,said there was no object-no mystery-the "objects" r.l'ere false radar returns.''

    On the 3rd of March 1965, 65-yearoldJohn Reeves of WeekiWachi Springs,Florida, walked into the office of RadioStation WWJB in Brooksville and told astrang story of his purported encounterwith a robotJike creature and its spaceship on the the preceding day. His story:At about 1:55 in the afternoon of theseeond,he was walking about 1 1/2 milesfrom his home when he saw "out on theflats" an unusual looking object. IIe ap-proached it via a circuitous route and

    when about 150 feet from the object hestopped and just looked at it . Shortlyhe was startled to see in an area a smalldistance from the "craft", a spacesuitedfigure which came out of the brush andapproached the object. It had traversedabout half the tlistance between it s orig-inal position and the craft, when it stop-ped, turned, spotted Reeves and startedtoward him. It got to within 15 feet ofMr. Reeves, stopped, pulled a squarishblack object with rounded edges " out ofits left side", and held it at chin level.The object flashed, "like lightning atnight", aecording to Reeves, whereuponReeves turned and ran. In running heknocked his glasses off on a bush, stop-ped to get them and his hat fell off.Sitting there in a crouched position, helooked around and the "robot's" objectIlashed again. Then the creature turnedand walked back to the "saucer" andentered it. Shortly the object rose intothe sky at high speed and disappeared.IMPORTANT NOTICE

    As of l July 1965, PRO'snew addresswill be 3910E. Kleindale Road,Tucson,Arizona. All communications houldbesent o that address.After the craft left, Reeves walkedover to the place where it had sat andfound four holeswhere he landing gearhad been,and two sheetsof kleenex-likepaper neatly iolded and lying on theground. He picked them up and tookthem home with him. He also notedan abundance f strange ootprints.(Seedrawingsand photos or gear m'prints, footprints andshapeof UFO).The "robot" describedby Reeveswas(See"Londtng",Page3)

    Fromfhe Direclor ToFherllembers:Elsewhere in this issue is the noticethat I have become the new Director ofAPRO. This change was indicated byseveral actors.To name a few-Mrs. Lor-enzen ha s had health problems recently,APRO's growing prest ige (and workload)were becoming a burden to her, and cir-cumstanceshave given me more time tospend on th e UF O problem.No policy changes are contemplatedat present. APRO will continue to oper-ate on the premise that the UFO mysterycon best be solved through the buildingof the scientif ic case. To this end wewill continue to compile a "sighting" cat-alog on which to base stat ist ical studieswhile remaining alert for that one con-clusive case which could just ify all ofou r efforts.I wil l continue in my posit ion at theKitt Peak Observatory since APRO can-not afford to pay a salary.And, lest therebe any doubt, le t me make it clear thatthe Observatory has no official interestconcerning UFOs and therefore does notendorse my position on the subject. Nei

    ther do they oppose t. The att itude ofmy employer is simply that what a ma ndoes on his ow n time is his own business.Landing cases seem to be on the in-crease and the question always arises asto the best way to investigate hese cases.The question is not one that can be easi-Iv answered since each case presents it sow n special problems.Experience suggests, however, thatcertain equipment be available:1. A good camera.2. A geiger counter or scint i l lat ioncounter.3. A split- image transit .4. Plaster of paris kit .5. Containers for soil samples or otherresidue.6. A 50-foot tape measure and a short-er scale for small measurements.It is of prime importance, of course,that th e investigator know how to usethese devices when the opportunity a-rises.APRO members are encouraged toshow a cooperative attitude toward al llocal law enforcement officers and mili-tary investigators. Experience has shownthat a promise to share with them theresults of our investigation his usuallyelicited full cooperation from them, TheAir Force Investigators sent out by localbases are usually unbriefed and unin-formed (on UiOs) and appreciative ofany help given.Law enforcement officers can some-times be prevailed upon to "rope off"

    landing sites and thus prevent curiosityseekers from destroying valuable phys-ical evidence. It should also be kept inmind that it is a scientific investigator'sjob to gather evidenee and ask the prop-er questions-not to make snap judge-ments.Witnesses with physical evidence suchas photographs or artifacts should be in-

    formed of their r ights. Evidence of thissort cannot be appropriated by govern-ment oflicials without the consent of theowner.If a good "hardware" case occurs inyour vicinity, (i . e., one which seems topresent good physical evidence), do nothesitate to call this office for help. . . .L. J. Lorenzen.

    Abou] fhe New DireciorMr, Lorenzen was born Leslie JamesLorenzen (called Jim by his friends andfamily) on 2 January 1922 n Grand Mea-dow, Minnesota. During his high schoolyears he taught himself bass viol andguitar with his eye on professional music.He graduated from High School at Elk-ton, Minnesota in 1938 at the age of 16.He was Salutatorian of his class.After High School he pursued his ca-reer as a musician in and around Austinand Rochester, Minnesota until Lg42when he moved to Los Angeles, Californ-ia .

    (Continued, lrom page 3)alphabet) used on the first page, only theletters D, E, C, and M were repeated onthe next page, and a considerable num-ber of new glyphs appeared on the sec-ond page-too many for the missing 7letters of the alphabet.

    The two pages of "writing" seemed tohave been written rather than drawn,and the two pages appeared to have beenproduced by two different writers.One small paragraph in the AF's state-ment of the Reeves case was puzzlinl:"The Air Force concluded that it wasn'tfeasible to expend any more lunds toanalyze and decipher the second sheet."With th e code broken on 18 of th e 25letters of th e alphabet, it should havebeen comparatively easy and inexpensivetu solve the mystery of the second sheet-unless th e init ial breakdown didn'twc,rk on the second sheet. as we found

    tc be the case.In the April-May issue of the NICAPInvestigator, it is stated on Page 8 col-umn two, under th e heading, "ReevesStory", that a NICAP Sun Coast Sub'committee interviewed Reevesbefore AFinvestigators. We ha d been assured byphone that outside of him and Fish, noon e had interviewed Reeves before th eAi r Force go t to him. I t is a mystery to uswhy any UF O Investigator would standidly by and let material evidence suchas the pieces of paper (there were two)ge t ou t of hi s hands.The Investigator also states that themessage on the paper read, in Part:"Planet Mars, where are you ?The actual message reads: "PlanetMars-are you coming home soon-wemiss you very much-why did you stayaway too long." This in th e interest ofaccuracy.Which brings up another point: Thereis a strange breakdown in the Englishof the l ast sentence of that "message".I t soundsas though someoneno t entirelyconversant with th e English languagewrote it .Johnson no w claims that th e paper re -

    turned to Reeves by the AF is not thesame which Reevesgave them.Adding all these facts up , we cannotturn our backs on the two possibilities.1. That the whole incident is a hoax.If this is so, Reeves had help-possiblyhypnosis was used. Whoever participat-ed in the hoax, however, would have hadto have a very int imate knowledge ofUF O lore. Then we must search amongourselves.2. The whole incident was real andthe most important evidence-the paper

    Tlte oborsescript on"strange paperu' was allegedly droyped by "space mnn" ituWeelci-Wachi, Spring s Incident.-was in part a hoax. This would be pos-sible if UFO occupants kept an easilytranslatable fake or cover message oldedin with any written matter in their pos-session to throw investigators off thetrack.or to label any inadvertent observ-ers of them or their craft as hoaxers.

    The facts and the strange goings-on inFlorida indicate the former and it is theopinion of this office that this case can-not be called completely closed-not yet.The latest development in the Reeves'case is a polygraph test conducted by theEdwards Polygraph Service of Orlando,Florida, the results of which were kindly

    forwarded to APRO by Mr. Robert S.Carr of Clearwater, who is awell-knownauthor and UFO researcher. We quotefrom the letter:"This Polygraph examination was con-ducted in the home of Mr. John F.Reeves, Brooksville, Florida on May 13,1965 at approximately 3:30 P.M. Therewere seven tests conducted in al l andtesting was terminated at approximately

    5:15 P. M. The first three tests wereindoctrination tests to determine hisability of reacting to guilt deception. The

    four following testswere conductedspe.cifcally on the main pertinent questonsregardinghis sightings."RESULTS:In my opinion, the indoc-trination tests reflected that he was anormal reactor and had guilt complexreaction when he attempted deception.It is my further opinion, hat after care-fu l examinationof the four separate estsin which the pertinent questionswereasked egarding the sightings, here wasno indication of any deception o any ofthe pertinent questionsasked."CONCLUSION: It is therefore myopinion, hat John F. Reeves as answer-

    ed all pertinent questions ruthfully, re-garding the experiencehe had when ashe statedhe saw a UFO and oecupant nMarch 2, 1965at Brooksville,Florida. Afurther and most significantpoint of in-terest is at the conclusionof the tests,Mr. Reeves irst remarked: "now wouldyou like to see the plaee where I sawthe saucer?" The usual reaction of aguilty subjectwith respect o not answer-ing truthfully would have more likelybeen,"well, how did I makeout?" There(See Landing", page6)

He flew 624 operationalhours during that period and made 156flights over the "hump" (HimalayanMountains). Mr. Lorenzen received theAir Medalwith oak leaf cluster, he Dis-tinguished Flying Cross with oak leafcluster and the PresidentialUnit Cita-t ion.

    Discharged from the Army in 1945,Lorenzen and his wife returned to LosAngeleswhere he re-entered he musicfield. For the next five yearshe workedas a guitarist and bassist n clubs andtheatres throughout California and Arizona.During that time he studiedStat is-tical Psychologyand Music Theory andElementary Psychologyat Arizona StateCollegeat Tempe,Arizona.In 1950 Mr. Lorenzen undertook tochangehis major profession nd attend-ed ElectronicsTechnical nstitute in LosAngeles. He received his First PhoneLicense hat year and went to work forLockheedAircraft Corporation. n 1952he and the family moved to SturgeonBay, Wisconsin where he worked as aradio engineerand announceror WDOR.He remained there until 1954when heacceptedemployment with Telecomput-ing Services t HollomanAir Force Base.After six years with T.S. he acceptedapositionwith Kitt PeakNatiooal Observ-atory, under AssociatedUniversities orResearchn Astronomy,where he is nowan electronicsengineer n the SpaceDi-vision.

    MysteryVaporTrailsThe Melbourne,Australia Herald of 15January 1965 carried an article aboutsevenunexplainedvapor trails observed250miles off the NewZealandCoastoverthe TasmanSeaat 6:45p.m. on the 13th(Wednesdayyof January. "The RAAF

    has failed to identify flying objects re-ported over the TasmanSeaon Wednes-day night", the lead sentence ead.Captain D. Shannon and the crew ofhis Electra which was at 20,000 t. alti-tude reported seeing he trails at 35,000feet, going west to east. The trails"seemed o split", into seven directions,indicating a flight formation, Shannonreported.An RAAF spokesmann Canberrasaidno aircraft clearedofficially from Aus-tralia was n the areaat the time. Inquiryhad shown hat no aircraft authorized ooperate over or out of Australia could

    have been n the area at the time. TheThe Australian radar station at Brook-vale had turned n no reportsof unidenti-fied objects.The initial story was sadly lacking indetail but it is indeed strange that anexperienced ilot would turn in a reporton such a mundane item as contrailswhen one would expecta pilot to expectto see contrails.Regardless, n the same day the Sydney Sun carried an explanation, o wit:

    "Tbe RAAF now believes that vapor

    trails seen by Qantaspilots (apparenilyothers besidesShannonobserved hem-Ed.) in the sky over Tasman were anatural phenomenon., a eantasofficialsaid that "the Electracrew sightedwhatappeared o be contrails from high-flyingplanes."Let us hope our Australian colleagueswere treated to a more detailed explana-tion-the planes shoulil havebeenidentified.Additional information reaching thisoffice indicates a radar confirmation ofthe sigbtingbut the locationof the radarwas not made explicit-it could havebeen radar contactby Sbannon's lane.The clippings which divulged his infor-mation did not specify.News sourcesalso said the report hadbeen officially explainedas "ice crystals"although two top-ranking RAAF officerssaid the evidence ndicateda formationof military aircraft capable of highspeeds nd ong-range erformance.
