Quote:They key man in the story seemed to be one George Koehler, of Denver, Colorado. The morning after Purdy called, I took a plane to Denver. During the flight I went over the "little men" story again. It had been printed in over a hundred papers.

According to the usual version, George Koehler had accidentally learned of two crashed saucers at a radar station on our southwest border. The ships were made of some strange metal. The cabin was stationary, placed within a large rotating ring.

Here is the story as it was told in the Kansas City Star:

In flight, the ring revolved at a high rate of speed, while the cabin remained stationary like the center of a gyroscope.

Each of the two ships seen by Koehler were occupied by a crew of two. In the badly damaged ship, these bodies were charred so badly that little could be learned from them. The occupants of the other ship, while dead when they were found, were not burned or disfigured, and, when Koehler saw them, were in a perfect state of preservation. Medical reports, according to Koehler, showed that these men were almost identical with earth-dwelling humans, except for a few minor differences. They were of a uniform height of three feet, were uniformly blond, beardless, and their teeth were completely free of fillings or cavities. They did not wear undergarments, but had their bodies taped.

The ships seemed to be magnetically controlled and powered.

In addition to a piece of metal, Koehler had a clock or automatic calendar taken from one of the crafts.

Koehler said that the best assumption as to the source of the ships was the planet Venus.

Quote:On the trip back, I bought a paper at the Chicago airport. On an inside page, I ran across Koehler's name. According to the A.P. he had just admitted the whole thing was a big joke.  But in spite of this, the "little men" story goes on and on.

I have encountered references to this book for decades now, but had never, before this, seen an actual copy of it. Imagine my dismay when I discovered that, as a part of the natural aging process, my ancient, decrepit eyes were unable to squint down tightly enough to read it as presented on the screen.

To alleviate that, and as a public service to other potentially old blind folks, I present a link to a downloadable PDF version of the book, which can be downloaded and then "blown up" in your favorite PDF reader.

Quote:Under hypnosis, one of the kids indicated that the beings had a head with three antennas on top, with tiny silver balls on the ends of these antennas, that they were dressed in gray with sorts of black boots without heels, that they had three fingers and that the mouth resembled a triangle with the point upwards, and that there were two small black motionless points, which one says were the eyes.

Questioned on "the spaceship", the same kid specified under hypnosis that it had three port-holes, that he saw three extraterrestrials insides, very tall, but very abnormally thin, 5 centimeters broad.

The child described the interior of the spaceship, and the drawings were made to showing "the control panel, with all the symbols and buttons."

Later, another ufologist explained how the newspapers abundantly publicized the incident, which was the first reported by the official Press agency TASS in that period of beginning of liberalization of the media, and that several ufologists who went to the site returned either enthusiastic or filled with doubts, and that the doubtful case "was definitively lost" in ufologists' and journalists' sensationalism.

Yet another "prequel" has become evident.  He mentions a 1952-53 event in West Virginia.  A bright light rapidly drops onto a hilltop.  A woman and her son think there may be a fire and go to the site, where they encounter a bizarre entity that terrifies them with its appearance.  A later air force investigation claims they saw an owl in the night   . . .

Quote:I also like that they don't use the term "UFO". That term was foisted on us by an establishment desperate to normalize this phenomena so that authority's, well, authority, wasn't eventually challenged because people realized there was something out there much more powerful than anything here on earth.

Quote:These Russian entity cases are so weird and different from Western ones that at least one obvious source of such entity reports is the human minds.

Quote:The rest of the article details Cahn's efforts at finding people who had been swindled by Newton and GeBauer. He was trying to find a victim for whom the 3-year statute of limitations had not run; such an individual could file charges and get the swindlers prosecuted. Herman Flader was just that person; Newton and GeBauer had taken him for $231,432.30, which was a LOT of money in 1950. Cahn went on to describe the details of the swindle, the filing of charges, the arrest of the two, and the trial in Denver.
