Author postulates that reevaluation of the UFO phenomenon is needed:
"Blanket terms, such as the 'space people' need to be eliminated, and

their natural habitat in invisible domains surrounding and interpenetrating
our own."

SJXlCecraft.

lives naturally in open space.

Authors report that 1967 brought an unprecedented number of UFO Jandings,
low-level hovering maneuvers, and landings with occupants visible. They
suggest that the almost constant u:n> activity from 1965 to the present indicatm
that close approaches of the planet to Mars to earth is no longeraQDBSaryfator
there are no longer cyclical recurrences of UFO activity peaks. An interpretation
of this might be that UFOs are interplanetary in origin and the occupants
have established bases close enough to earth so that long journeys are no longer
necessary, the authors say.
McDonald, James E. Are UFOs extraterrestrial surveillance craft? Tucson, Ariz.,
The Author, 1968. 4 p.
Stressing the need for establishment of a vigorous investigation program d the
UFO phenomenon, the author noted that close-range sightings of machine-like
objects of unconventional nature and unconventional performance characteristics,
seen atlow altitudes, appeared to be occurring all over the globe, possibly
with increasing frequency. Suggestions that such observations can be explained
away in terms of meteorologic:al optics or in terms of atmospheric
plasmo1.s cannot be supported with cogent scientific arguments, he said. Talk

----- :UFOs--an international scientific problem. Tucson, Ariz., The Author,
1968. 40 p.
Summarizing his position, the author states: (1) the UFO pl'oblem seems to be
a matter of great sclentUic interest: (2) machine-like objects--possibly extraterrestrial
in origln--have been repeatedly seen, often by observers ct very
high credibility; (3) UFO observatior.s are being made on a global scale indicating
an international scientUic problem; (4) there has never been a thorough scientific
investigation of UFOs; (5) there is no convincing evidence of U.S. -::ovHup
conspiracy ~rating to conceal true nature of UFO problem; (6) Condon
Committee's lack of scientific vigor in ::onducting USAF-sponsored UFO study
is disappointing; (7) UFO study programs by scientific groups are needed throughout
the world to systematically appraise conceivable hypotheses to account for
UFO phenomena. Speech given Mar. 12, 1968, at the Canadian Aeronautics

A questionaire survey was conducted among three groups: 26 Ph. D faculty and
graduate students in a university Psychology Department; 59 graduate students
enrolled in an NDEA Guidance Institute; and 259 members of the National Investigations
Committee on Aerial Phenomena (NICAP). It was hypothesized
that there would be no differences between the scores of the three groups on
the Personal Attitude Survey (Form D, Dogmatism Scale, Rokeach, 1960) and
the Scientific Attitude Survey (Sprinkle, 1962). Results showed significant
differences (P < . 001) between the three groups with respect to their mean
scores on both inventories, with the NICAP group scoring higher on both "dogmatic"
and "scientific" inventories, followed by the guidance group and the
psychology group, respectively. Investigation was supported by Grants-inAid
Committee, Society for the Psychological Study of Social Issues (a division
of the American Psychological Association).

Attempts to answer certain questions relating to the UFO problem: (1) what is
happening, how did it begin, what do we know up to the moment?; (2) are we
be~ studied by non-earthly visitors, or are all UFOs natural phenomena we
don t uncterstand?; (3) is there really a conspiracy to conceal the truth from
the public, and if so, who is responsible, and what is the motive for the concealment?;
(4) what reasons are there for thinking intelligent life may exist
elsewhere in our solar system, or in other similar systems nearby in our
galaxy?; (5) if other intelligent life does exist, what are the chances of their
contacting us, or vice versa?; (6) will a real scientifil: attack on the UFOprob- lem provide us with a definite solution?
