Fireballs and Lights

Followers of flying saucers are well acquainted with the "Foo Fighters" reported so extensively

during World War II. Because they are modern, and because their presence is so undeniably established

and their activities so well catalogued, we shall do nothing with them other than this brief mention in the

general category of lights and fireballs.

The "Foo Fighters" seem, however, to be of a slightly different genre from the usual UFO lights.

"Foos" are usually reddish or yellowish, soft and diffuse, unattached to any tangible object and extremely

mobile. UFO's, on the other hand, have hard, bluish-white lights and are brilliant, functional, and

flickering.

Hard. Bluish, White Lighted are Scouts, Solid.

SCOUTS, CURIOUS ABOUT THE LAST WAR, ABLE

TO DETECT ELECTRONIC-MAGNETIC FIELDS IN EQUIPMENT

AND SO KEPT THEMSELVES AT A STAGE OF MOLECULAR

DISSOLUTION IE. STASIS, THAT THEY COULD OBSERVE

YET NTO GET HURT BY WHATEVER WEAPONS "WE" HAD,

KNOWINGLY OR UNKNOWINGLY. Some of our Electrom's

Equipment could have had an odd effect upon

functionality of L-M observer Scout ships &

caused some consternation to the L-M's, A PEACEFUL

NAIVELY CURIOUS BUNCH OF INADVERTANT HAVOC

WREAKERS, AS YOULL EVER SEE, Jemi.

With that distinction in mind, let us suppose that the "Foos" either have intelligence or are

remotely directed by intelligence. It is only another short step to say that they are intelligence. That they

are a manifestation of some intelligent activity seems the most logical compromise.

The references throughout history to strange lights in the sky, and burning objects fleeing

through the air, are common knowledge. There are myriad cases where lights, balls of fire, luminous

points and areas, and ball lightning which do not seem to be attached to or emanate from any solid

object, have been observed. Two recent sightings will serve to establish our basis of judgement.

QUITE SO!

The following letter, to the editor of Fate, March 1951 bears careful scrutiny. I ask that you recall

the rays we suggested in "Marks and Footprints."

"My husband and I live alone in a little hidden hollow in Nye County, Nevada, known as the Old

Burns Ranch. It is almost completely surrounded by bleak gray hills, and is located a crooked mile back

from the paved highway that runs to the little town of Beatty, eight miles distant.

"The nearest human habitation is a cattle ranch a mile away by coyote trail over the hills.

"It was 1:45 AM on a night in January, 1949, just after what is known as The Big Snow. A frozen

white pall lay draped over hill and desert. I had wakened from sound slumber a half-hour earlier. More

sleep eluded me and I was standing at my window drinking in the beauty of the dimly moonlit landscape.

Not a creature was stirring, nor a breath of wind.

IF THIS HAPPENS, COVER YOURSELF WITH EARTH, Jemi.

"Gradually, my eyes focused upon a pale gray stain, irregularly shaped and no bigger than by two

hands. It rested on the smooth crust near a corner of the grape arbor about three rods from the house

and in line with the window. Almost at once this fuzzy-gray shadow that was not a shadow bloomed into

a disc of clear white light approximately three feet in diameter. It lay there for fully two minutes. Then

suddenly contracting into a brilliant orange-tinted stream five or six inches wide, flowed swiftly over the

snow toward my window and, to all appearances, exploded soundlessly against the stone foundation of

the intervening front porch.

"Several tongues of scintillating red and blue flame spurted a few inches above the two-and-a half

foot high wainscoting of the porch. That was all.

"When daylight came, we searched conscientiously but found no signs, marks, or tracks of any

kind that might help to explain this phenomenon."

We have another interesting account of a recent visit by a fireball which warrants attention. It was

reported by Gordon W. Hackbarth of Seattle, Washington, and tells of an electronics mechanic at the

Puget Sound Navy Yard, Robert Burch, and his experience on Tuesday, November 6, 1951.

Returning from his evening meal, Burch stopped at the desk of the Bremerton YMCA, picked up

his key, then rode the elevator to the top floor. Inside his room, he noticed that it was 7:30 PM He

switched on his radio, then turned to the dresser.

Suddenly, something made him look up. The mirror reflected a ball of orange-red fire coming

toward him through the open window. There was a blinding flash and a loud report. The ceiling light

went out and Burch was knocked to the floor. In a daze he reached for the foot of his metal bed to haul

himself upright. A searing pain shot up his arm. Later it was diagnosed that he had received seconddegree

burns.

(LATER) HYPER-ACTIVATION BY F-F ON MOLECULES

COULD HAVE CAUSED BURNS OR PURE-ENERGY

EXPLOSION, THUS BURNS & ETC.

In the corner of his room the contents of a wastebasket blazed furiously. Beneath the window a

piece of fireproof Samsonite luggage was charred and smoking. The cabinets of two radios were burned.

The sill of the window through which the fireball had entered was black and too hot to touch.

YES, ALL THE ABOVE ARE SCEINTIFICALLY EXPLAINABLE THEY ARE

REACTIONS OF FORCE & ENERGY, WILD & TAME.

Burch's roommate, Alex Myers, rushed in from the shower room three doors away. He had heard

the loud report. A moment later, a city policeman entered. The officer, in the process of writing a traffic

violation ticket three blocks away, had looked up, seen the orange-red ball flash across the sky in an arc

from a southerly direction and enter the window.

In the Bremerton Naval Hospital the next day the bewildered Burch, his arm swathed in

bandages, still suffered from shock.

thus burns.

"Crawling fireballs" are still another form of oddities which lend substance to our theory of

intelligence in space. Most of these awesome incidents occurred in France. In Marseilles, during

October 1898, an adolescent girl was seated at a table when suddenly a spherical shape of fire darted

into the room, paused in the corner farthest from her and gradually moved toward her along the floor.

Terror stricken, she drew back against the wall. Then, abruptly, it changed its course, circled her several

times and shot toward the ceiling. It flung itself at a paper-covered stovepipe hole and burned a ring in it

on its way up the chimney. Minutes later a loud crash shattered the chimney top.

A similar occurrence was reported in Paris on July 5, 1852, in the shop of a tailor on the Rue

Saint Jacques, near Val De Grace. This time the fireball crawled over the windowsill into the room and

came at the man in a floor-skimming action. Horrified, he retreated as the globe of blazing light climbed

to the height of his face. It was too much for him. The tailor collapsed. A little later he revived to hear a

tremendous explosion atop the shop which scattered bits of chimney brick over surrounding rooftops.

Proof that the fireball had fled up the chimney again appeared in the form of a burnt paper cover over the

stovepipe hole.

In one series of volumes published around 1898 by The Association Francaise, M. Wander, a

scientist, wrote: "A violent thunderstorm has descended upon the Commune of Beugnon. I happened to

be passing through a farm in which two children of about twelve and thirteen were playing. I saw these

children take refuge from the rain under the roof of a stable, in which were twenty-five oxen. In the

courtyard grew a poplar. Suddenly there appeared a globe of fire, the size of an apple, near the top of

the poplar. We saw it descend branch by branch, and then down the trunk. It moved along the courtyard

very slowly, picking its way, and came through to the door where the two children stood. One of them

touched it. Immediately a terrible crash shook the entire farm to its foundation. The children were thrown

back, uninjured but eleven of the oxen were felled dead."

In the town of Gray, on July 7, 1886, a luminous ball from thirty to forty centimeters in diameter

jumped to the roof of a home and ripped off the corner. In this case, unlike so many others, the fireball

didn't disintegrate after a single act of destruction. It rebounded to the home's outside stairs, crushing the

slates. Still it retained its shape, crawled into the midst of a group of passers-by who had stopped to

watch the queer sight. These persons, in a body, took off down the road. The perverse object seemed to

pursue them momentarily: then it vanished without a sound.

Must have hit a Vortice, or been saved somehow.

M. Lawrence Roth, Director of the Blue Hill Observatory, in 1903, was visiting Paris on

September 4, of that year. At 10:00:PM, he happened to be looking toward the Eiffel Tower from the

Rond-Point of the Champs Elysees. The tower was suddenly struck by white lightning. Simultaneously

he spied a flaming sphere edging downward to the second platform. Roth claimed the ball was about a

yard in diameter, and that it covered some one hundred yards in a matter of seconds and then vanished

completely.

It is very interesting to note that these reports are from the general area where a great deal

of UFO activity was reported in late 1954. Localization? Selectivity?

123

Yes, no doubt.

Additional substantiation of the localization-selectivity factor comes from reports from Hammersly

Fork. Remember the strange disappearance in that area.

A fireball at Hammersly Fork floated down through the roof and exploded in a cabin, blowing out

windows and doors, at midday on December 9, 1951. Another one came down fifty yards east of the post

office there and vanished just before reaching the ground on January 9, 1952. A week later, another one

came down just at dusk, at Cross Fork, eight miles from Hammersly Fork and vanished just before

touching the ground. On January 23, again at dusk, a fireball floated down in the woods about two

hundred feet from the car of Mr. Doyle Schoonover, and vanished just before reaching the ground.

Another fireball went through two inches of boards on a building, on February 1, and within seconds the

whole roof was ablaze.

Mr. John P. Bessor, a very careful and reliable investigator, made a special trip of inspection to

the vicinity of Brown Mountain, near Mogantown, North Carolina, and personally saw the mysterious

lights reported there. He avers that they cannot be due to locomotives, cars, houselights, or whatever

else the Geological Survey would like them to be. He was not able to coordinate the lights with any

mineral deposits, or human activity. Nevertheless the lights were observed by him over a period of

several days and nights. They appeared to move at will, to have volition.

No Will of Wisp Gases in that area at all.

While the innumerable reports on strange lights may be only indirectly related to space travel, it

does seem obvious that some of the same forces and physical characteristics are common to both types

of phenomena, and a study of one may supply insight into others. For instance, we note the common

traits of maneuverability, transparency, color, and evidence of intelligent manipulation, not to mention the

ability to appear and disappear at will, as did the saucers over Washington in 1952.

There is a report on a puzzling light seen in Hampshire on the night of September 14, 1908  a

light as if from an unseen moon. Strangely enough, that same night, David Packer, in Worcestershire,

saw an illumination which he thought was auroral, and proceeded to photograph it. What he saw was a

broad, diffuse series of cloudlike illuminations. His photograph in English Mechanic showed a large

luminous disc of sphere over the auroral illuminations. This does not in any way indicate a flaw in the film

or lights leaking into the camera. The only possible explanation in that case is based on the conventional

knowledge that this thing, invisible to the eye, was luminous in that part of the spectrum to which the plate

was sensitive, probably ultraviolet, as infra-red plates were not then available.

FERVERENTLY!

In Cambrian Natural Observer, 1905-32, are several accounts of lights, in the skies of Wales,

which are exactly like many of those reported in the United States since 1947. Lights like "a long cluster

of stars, obscured by a thin film of mist," were reported. Later this thing is said to have taken on the

shape and appearance of a vertically suspended iron bar heated to an orange-colored glow; but the

initial description is that of lights in formation.

124

SHIP STANDING VERTICALLY IS SIGNALLING

"HELP" TO ALL IN VICINITY

I submit that all strange lights reported, throughout history and today, are either from UFO's

themselves, or reflections of them. They may be UFO's.

I think we can agree, further, that fireballs may be the only available indication that UFO's have

weapons  and that fireballs are their weapons. I base this upon the singular fact that the only reports of

destruction or injury come from these fireballs. This is not to inscribe malicious intent to UFO's for

accidental shooting of a hunter does not condemn the sorrowed friend who fired the shop, much

less the distant manufacturer. That fireballs are released at all is, again, probably sheer

experimentation on the part of the UFO's.

(NOT, SO) THE "BURNINGS" MUST BE EJECTED

or the ship will catch fire in control pit.

As an example of destruction, we shall close with this brief case.

An intelligent boy was trudging along the highway at night near Palestine, Texas. A woman was

riding in the same direction, on a horse. The boy reappeared in Palestine that night, out of breath and

very pale. He said he saw a ball of fire come out of the sky and strike the woman and set her ablaze.

The horse ran one way and he ran back to town to tell what had happened. The people went to look for

further particulars of this curious accident. They found the woman lying on the ground with all her

clothing burned, but with enough life in her to tell that she had been struck in the breast by a ball of fire.

The horse was found with his mane singed. The woman died the next day.

Such fireballs could also be the new method

of Execution of Outlaws or Method of Disposal

for Olden Peopole. These theorys could each

and every one be Possible. I do know that

The Arks were burned, That Scouts can also

burn in this fashion. I dread these Fireballs

& I believe the U.S. NAVY May also have

formed some out of Human Material, 1943-44.

I do Not fear the L-Ms or their enemies themselves

but I dread in a Terror filled Hellish

Dreadfulness the Least intimation of the appearance

of a Fireball that is Not inanimate

& thus clearly mere "Burnings" of & from a

"coat" upon interior parts of a ship. All

electricity gathers a "coat" & this must be

disposed of else functionality of ship &

fields is impaired. This I understand, but

Not a burning personality in TERROR. IT

VERGES TOO MUCH UPON THE INHUMAN, THE HORRIBLE.
