Keel Ma Bell hates the FBI. ‘The FBI loathes the CIA. The CIA doesn't get along with Air Force Intelligence. And none of them is a match for the Great Intergalactic Council head- quartered on Ganymede, a satellite of Jupiter, which is out to befuddle, bewilder, betray and ultimately annihilate the entire human race. While laying their fiendish long-range plans against us they have enlisted thousands of screwballs to spread propaganda and convince us that the flying-saucer folks are kindly, benevolent, peace-loving humanoids.

In fact, those earlier objects, usually described as dirigibles, followed the same routes as the modern flying saucers would from New Zealand to Oklahoma. Mr. Fortpuzzled over the early sightings and announced, with some glee, that ‘we were hosting visits from people who lived in the sky. (He also proposed. that the heavens were fake and that the stars were lights hanging from strings only a few thousand feet over our heads.) Fort had no evidence, aside from tattered newspaper clippings, and as a True Believer (TB) I didn't need any. In 1952 I wrote and produced a radio program, “Things in the Sky,” that was aired throughout Europe and stimulated an unprecedented amount of mail. Between 1947, the beginning of the modern epoch, and 1966, the year of the greatest UFO ‘wave, many subtle things occurred within the government and among
