Is Space Travel Impossible Using Rocketry?
An Editorial by Ray Palmer (May, 1959)
Recently Kruschev made another of his long speeches (this one took 6 ½ hours), but to me, there was one short sentence in it that is positively fascinating in its implications. He said that Russia “is ready and willing to stop rocket and nuclear experiment for all time”.
As for nuclear testing, we can understand why further experiment is unnecessary—the weapons already developed are fearsome beyond all possible necessity, and also are completely unusable without total destruction of civilization. But when rocket development is something that they are ready and willing to stop for all time then we are alerted to the apparent confirmation of our announcement some time ago that the Russians had found something out about space that changes the space travel picture completely. We can, if we wish, read into this innocent sentence the admission by the Soviets that space travel is impossible, and that therefore they are ready and willing to abandon rocketry. In fact, so convinced are they of the impossibility that they specify “for all time”. (more…)

Contactee Tidbits From A Spacecraft Convention
by Evelyn Dorio Nicolais
Between seven and eight thousand space fans gathered at Giant Rock Airport, Yucca Valley, California, for the Third Annual Spacecraft Convention on Saturday and Sunday, April 28 and 29, 1956.
The campers began to arrive as early as Friday afternoon, by trailer, car and truck, but most of the crowd turned their cars off the main highway in the early Saturday morning hours and jogged over the sandy spurs that led to the remote airport. (more…)

Steps To The Stars ~ Part II
by Timothy Good
Further Communication
It was not until April 1954 that Alan once again reestablished communications with Daniel Fry. At the time, Fry was relaxing in his retreat, deep in the woods of southern Oregon. As before, Alan was not present in person, but his voice was unmistakable. No device was used on this occasion; instead, communication was supposedly achieved directly via ‘electronically boosted telepathy’.
Alan began by admonishing Fry for not having spoken publicly about his experience. Fry replied that, in the first place, he was afraid that any report by him might endanger Alan’s proposed visit to Earth; secondly, he was unknown, apart from within the rocket industry. How therefore could he reach the people? (more…)

The Wanderers
by George Hunt Williamson
Certain individuals have received messages from the space intelligences that were similar to the following: “Do not think of us as gods, for in a sense you are greater than we . . . and we must serve you as it was promised since time immemorial.” By this, the Saucer occupants mean that The Wanderers were a special order of beings who did nothing but wander from planet to planet and stay until the particular world they were on was lifted up into higher understanding. If the message was directed to an “apple” on the Earth, we can see why the space people would say: “In a sense you are greater than we.” Actually, there is no high nor low, but The Wanderers or “Apples” would be greater in the sense that they had previously served other worlds before coming to Earth. The Saucer men recognize these “Wanderers” because they aided them before they came to Earth to help. In other words, “apples” lifted up other planets to their present majestic state of progression where all war, greed, lust and falsity is non-existent. They passed through Mars, Venus, and other spheres before volunteering for the Earth mission. And the mission to Earth began not just one or two lifetimes back, but it all started in the Miocene Epoch millions of years ago! The Universal “chimney-sweeps” will not go on to other degraded worlds until the planet Earth returns to the Interplanetary Brotherhood, established in Love, Truth, and Peace. (more…)

Steps To The Stars
by Timothy Good
It was the evening of 4 July 1949. For Daniel Fry, a rocket test technician employed by Aerojet General Corporation at the vast and remote White Sands Proving Grounds in New Mexico, it was to be an Independence Day with a difference.
Fry had planned on going into the town of Las Cruces to celebrate with colleagues, but having missed the last motor pool bus, he went back to his room and began reading a textbook on heat transfer, a problem of considerable relevance to the design of rocket motors. ‘I was soon to learn however,’ said Fry, ‘that the problems of heat transfer can become as uncomfortable physically as they are interesting academically.’ At 20.00 the building’s air conditioning system apparently broke down and it became unbearably hot. He decided to go for a walk, hoping it would be cooler outside.
Heading in the direction of an old static test stand, where Aerojet at the time were mounting their largest rocket engine for tests, Fry then decided to take a different route that led off towards the base of the Organ Mountains. Scanning the evening sky, he was surprised to notice one star, then another, then two more, ‘going out’. Suddenly, the outline of an object of some sort, blending with the dark blue of the sky, appeared to be headed in his direction. ‘As it continued to come toward me, I felt a strong inclination to run,’ he explained, ‘but experience in rocketry had taught me that it is foolish to run from an approaching missile until you are sure of its trajectory, since there is no way to judge the trajectory of an approaching object if you are running.’ (more…)

Zret And The Norcans
by Timothy Good
‘Oh help me, help me!’ It was June 1920, and 16-year-old Albert Coe was on a canoeing vacation in Ontario with his companion Rod. Alone at the time, Coe heard the muffled cry while clambering to the top of an outcropping of rocks in remote and rough terrain on the Mattawa River. Looking around, Coe could see no one, so he let out a yell. Slightly to his right and ahead came an answer. ‘Oh help me, I’m down here.’
‘I still couldn’t see anyone,’ said Coe, ‘and had walked about 25 feet in the direction of the voice when I came to a five-foot-wide cleft in the base rock that ran diagonally toward the river. Wedged down this narrowing crevice was a young man with his blond head some two and a half feet from the surface. He only had one arm free, so I reached over and grabbed his wrist, but could not budge him. We always carried a coil of rope and a hunting knife, so I cut down a sapling about 10 or 15 feet long to use as a lever, and working my rope under the pit of his pinned arm, circled it around his back and chest, bringing a loop to ground level, at the same time telling him I would try to pry him out. If I failed, I told him not to worry, for my pal was somewhere on the other side of the river, and between the two of us we would free him.’ (more…)

Contact With Space
DOES THE PLANET EARTH HARBOR SPACEMEN?
Borderland Scientist Dr. Wilhelm Reich
Posed That Question In Chap. I of His
1957 Book, “Contact With Space”
On March 20, 1956, 10 P.M. a thought of a very remote possibility entered my mind, which, I fear, will never leave me again: Am I a Spaceman? Do I belong to a new race on earth, bred by men from outer space in embraces with earth women? Are my children offspring of the first interplanetary race?
Has the melting pot of interplanetary society already been created on our planet, as the melting pot of all earth nations was established in the U.S.A. 190 years ago? Or does this thought relate to things to come in the future? I request my right and privilege to have such thoughts and to ask such questions without being threatened to be jailed by any administrative agency of society. (more…)

Edge Of Tomorrow
by Reinhold O. Schmidt
Reinhold Schmidt was a 1957 UFO “contactee” in an era that began with George Adamski in 1953. Schmidt was born and grew up in Nebraska, where he worked for most of his adult life as a reputable grain buyer and dealer. He became a contactee after telling of his experience on November 5, 1957 detailed in his book Edge of Tomorrow, when while driving through a rural area near Kearney, Nebraska, he noticed a large, cigar-shaped object resting in a field. He was soon escorted inside the space ship, which turned out to be crewed by completely human-looking space aliens, four male and two female, who apparently spoke perfect German and claimed to be from the planet Saturn. “The Saturnians” also claimed to be interested in the recently launched Russian Sputniks, and the satellite-launching plans of the US. ~ Wikipedia (more…)

Flying Saucers Close Up
John Dean (1891-1970) was an author, artist, lecturer, and educator whose published works included two books, Flying Saucers and the Scriptures and Flying Saucers: Close Up, on the subject of UFOs. His writings appeared during an era in American history when both ordinary citizens and the government were fascinated by space exploration and the possibility of alien life. Dean’s manuscripts show that he was skeptical of government involvement in space exploration and also drew a connection between extraterrestrials and the bible. Dean was a World War I veteran who was hospitalized in 1918 and during his convalescence claimed to have encountered extraterrestrial beings. (more…)

More Confirmation On The Truth About Mars
Compilation by Gloria Lynn
Did A Supernova Remnant Destroy Mars?
The following is a excerpt from The Truth About Mars by Ernest L. Norman. Following this we will look at some evidence or proof that this is exactly what happened. A supernova took place approximately 100,000 years ago which reaped terrible havoc on Mars including other planetary bodies in our solar system as a chunk of it passed by that was larger then the sun.
“In case some of you are wondering just as I did, what caused his people to go underground and why they do not migrate to some other planet since they have all the necessary craft to do so. Nur El explained all this by first saying that Mars was, up until about 100,000 years ago, a planet very similar to the earth. There was air, water, and an abundance of plant and animal life. The cities flourished on the surface just as ours do. At that time, through their occult science and also with their superior telescopes they saw, somewhere out in space, a cataclysm take place. One of the giant suns suddenly went berserk, flared up like a nova and then exploded in a terrific blinding flash. Huge chunks hurtled out into space in different directions, each one a smaller, white-hot, atomically-burning sun, shooting off great streamers of atomic energies. It was determined by calculations, that one of these fiery pieces would pass very close to our solar system. As it was larger than our own sun, it was conceivable that there would be tremendous repercussions; in fact, anything was possible. (more…)

We Have Good Reason For Humility
by Michael Strauss
As an astrophysicist, I am always struck by the fact that even the wildest science-fiction stories tend to be distinctly human in character. No matter how exotic the locale or how unusual the scientific concepts, most science fiction ends up being about quintessentially human (or human-like) interactions, problems, foibles and challenges. This is what we respond to; it is what we can best understand. In practice, this means that most science fiction takes place in relatively relatable settings, on a planet or spacecraft. The real challenge is to tie the story to human emotions, and human sizes and timescales, while still capturing the enormous scales of the Universe itself. (more…)

Mars Update And More Anomalies
The Perseverance Rover
The Perseverance rover and its little sibling, the Ingenuity helicopter, landed in a cloud of dust on Feb. 18, bristling with antennas and cameras. Perseverance will spend the next Martian year — the equivalent of two Earth years — prowling, poking and collecting rocks from Jezero Crater and the river delta that enters it. The rover will scrutinize the debris chemically and geologically, and take photographs, so that scientists on Earth can search for any signs of ancient fossilization or other patterns that living organisms might have produced.

The Voice Of Venus-Newly Illustrated Collector’s Edition
THE VOICE OF VENUS by Ernest L. Norman
Full-color, Newly Illustrated Collector’s Edition
Did This Reclusive Author Leave Behind Secrets of the Universe?
A Cosmic “Theory of Everything” That Subsequent Science Keeps Validating?
LA MESA, CA—For the first time, all five books of Ernest L. Norman’s classic introductory series, the Pulse of Creation, will be available globally in newly illustrated, full-color Collector’s Editions, beginning with Book One, The Voice of Venus (May 11, 2021).
Through his books and lectures conducted in the late 1950s, Author Ernest L. Norman (1904-1971) put the science back into ancient concepts that have come down to us in watered-down, mystical terms such as chakras, meridians, auras, spirit bodies.
Picking up where his visionary predecessors in science and philosophy left off, Norman also spun traditional physics into a vortical schematic of pulsing, interdimensional, intelligent energy that supports and connects all forms of life.
For the relative handful of lucky readers who found his books in the late 20th century, he also changed lives. Norman took on the big questions of life and death—and life after death—using a scientific approach, and what he might describe as the interdimensional communication capacity of the human mind to reach into higher dimensions.
