WHO ELSE SAW THIS?

With my two eyes wide open, in full possession of my senses and as sober as any self-respecting judge should be, I saw what, to the best of my knowledge and belief, no one else has ever seen outside of the pages of a science-fiction magazine!

I will say this much, from where I witnessed the astounding phenomenon, I looked around to see if there were others looking skyward-- not a single soul! I was standing on the sidewalk alongside the parking-lot on Wilcox Avenue. On Hollywood Boulevard, a quarter of a block away, looking South, I could see

by the sudden, unbelievable spectacle.

It occurred as follows:

Date: September 6th., 1951
Hour: About 7:20 P.M.
(true local time)
Place: Hollywood 28, California
Day: Thursday

THE PHENOMENON:

The whole thing happened so fast and was so breath-taking that it is difficult to remember exactly, to the second, the amount of time involved. I doubt if the whole thing lasted over five minutes and definitely not as long as ten minutes.

It was the fifth day of the Moon, when somewhat less than half of the orb is visible. The Sun was already below the horizon and the Moon had just begun to refl

dome, more west than south, there appeared a pinpoint of glowing, deep red. I thought: there is no such star!--and kept my eyes glued on it. To my utter amazement it was increasing in size, until it became as large as a regular star. And, just about then, another of the same appeared, following in the same route behind the first. They kept at the same distance apart, at the same speed, along the same route, with precision plus. From the moment they first appeared out of immeasurable space, until they reached the Moon, did not take over three or four seconds. At a point far west they curve

shall soon prove, according to what I actually saw.

At this point, let us consider facts and straight logic. We are given to understand, by the astronomers, that the mean distance of the Moon, from the Earth, is two hundred and forty thousand miles. We are also given to understand that the Moon is one-sixth the size of the Earth. Therefore, if an object other than the Moon, seen at the same distance from the Earth as the Moon, appears almost as large as the Moon itself, are we to conclude that such an object must then be approximately one-sixth the size of the Earth in size?

their crafts, it would be fairly safe to imagine the great superiority of all their equipment over anything we have yet produced on this planet. For example, what would I not give to take a look at some of those pictures they took of the other side of the Moon. What marvelous cameras they must have; what sound recorders! What telescopes! I wouldn't be surprised if they could have seen me close-up, as I stood there looking at them, trans-fixed, with my mouth--closed.

Whatever they were doing, they worked fast, for in a few minutes they began to move again. They were turning around; fi
