E.T. Disappearance Syndrome 4 : Brad Steiger Article 1975

'There is probably no one who has written so many books on the subject of UFOs or has been so widely read as Steiger...'

Jerome Clark The UFO Encyclopedia (1990)

'There are several theories as to the ufonauts' place of origin and their true identity. Every investigator, regardless of how receptive he is to other opinions, has his favorite location, whether physical or ethereal, for these manifestations. Generally, however, all the arguments are eventually reduced to the central issue of whether the UFO intelligences are essentially nonphysical entities from an invisible realm in our own world, or whether they are physical beings who have the ability to materialize and dematerialize their bodies and craft...

...Most often, they appear content to merely show us what can be done. They have done this before by demonstrating the possibility of air flight, radio communication, television, and a host of other developments that were once considered by Mankind to be impossible. Now they may be demonstrating the possibility of dematerialization and rematerialization. Perhaps they are showing us that the best way of dealing with space travel over great distances is not to travel through space, but to avoid space....'

E.T. Disappearance Syndrome 3 : Orestes Wilson Letters 1970-1978

A long-term reader of Laura Mundo's Michigan-based Interplanetary Center newsletter was ORESTES WILSON. The July 15th 1970 edition of The Emergency Press includes a reference to a letter sent by this person [first name is here as printed, different to subsequent newsletter references to their letters]:

'..Ores Wilson, on 1st list, then 2nd, now back on 1st, Reading, Penn... writes, after reading FS booklet.. "Just finished your long book "Flying Saucers" - it was quite a book! The photos were welcome. You sure cover all the personalities. The people in Reading, Penn, are now mentally & physically exhausted. I'm ready to be picked up and rejuvenated!" (Ed: it would be nice if it were that easy).

"I was a great Adamski fan. When I saw my first saucer in 1954. But he did not believe in invisible spacemen which also exist, with invisible spaceships. Yes, there are TWO kinds.

"Thanks for all this literature - after showing some kids your book, a little boy jumped up yelling "good news - good news". We are sure coming to a climax now and everyone is waiting for the mass demonstration." Then Wilson quotes solograph or message by mental means hopefully from the space people.. which we do NOT support. It says - "We will appear in your skies at all hours - day and night."...'

A communication from the same person was related in the January 1973 issue of Emergency Press:

ORESTES WILSON, PENN.. WRITES.. "THERE ARE VISIBLE AND INVISIBLE SPACE PEOPLE HERE", INTO WHICH WE DO NOT GO. WE AGREE THERE MAY BE MUCH ON THE HIGHER AND LOWER (THAN VISIBLE) INVISIBLE FREQUENCIES, PROTONIC (ULTRA BLUE SPECTRUM), ELECTRONIC (INFRA RED SPECTRUM) OF WHICH WE DO NOT KNOW. ENOUGH TO KNOW ABOUT THE SIMPLY MORE ADVANCED SPACE PEOPLE COMING TO HELP US TO HELP OURSELVES (OPENLY FROM BEHIND THE SCENES) TO GO THROUGH THE PLANETARY CLIMAX....

The July 1978 issue of the same group's newsletter - at this stage called The Mundo Monitor - includes Orestes Wilson's views in the 'MAIL BAG' section. This time he (?) writes that he saw an 'Adamski Bell Scout Ship' in broad daylight, hovering for half an hour, 100 feet over the Neversink Mountain, in South Reading. This happened in June 1958:

..."ADAMSKI HAS THE BEST PHOTOS OF UFOS", WILSON WRITES, "BUT HE WAS NOT PERFECT. HE SAID THAT THE SPACE PEOPLE WERE ALL LIKE US AND WERE ALL VISIBLE LIKE US. NOW WE KNOW OF OTHER FORMS THAT ARE VERY UNLIKE US AND CAN APPEAR AND DISAPPEAR."

WE ARE SURPRISED THAT ORESTES HAS CONTINUED TO SEND FOR OUR NEWSLETTER FOR MANY, MANY YEARS WHEN WE HAVE TAKEN A STAND NOT TO RESEARCH INTO "THE FOURTH DIMENSION" WHICH MIGHT BE THE 2ND DIMENSION, INSTEAD. THE SPACE PEOPLE TELLING ADAMSKI THE SUNSPOTS DISTORTING THE ATMOSPHERE SO MUCH THAT DISTORTION OF THE MIND WILL EVIDENCE ITSELF, ALSO.. AND PSYCHIC MANIFESTATIONS ARE TO BE CONSIDERED VERY OBJECTIVELY. WE DO NOT KNOW AS MUCH ABOUT THE PHYSICAL, VISIBLE OCTAVE/SPECTRUM AS WE NEED TO KNOW YET BEFORE GETTING INTO "THE INVISIBLE PARALLEL UNIVERSES" AS ALLEN HYNEK CALLS IT, WHO ALLOWS HIMSELF TO BE CALLED THE "FOREMOST UFO AUTHORITY".
