"Several people a year may be Killed by forces from outer space, a world-renowned physi- cist said Thursday. “Swiss-born Prof. Fritz Zwicky of the California Institute of Technology, said apparently unexplained deaths could be due to people being hit by fast meteors or heavy nucleons in cosmic rays. He added that some faint traces have been indicating that the were struck by such forces." L.A. RESEARCHERS PLEASE CHECK files of the Los Angeles DAILY MIRROR , Jan. 23, 1950, for column by Dick Williams head- lined, "Did 15 - year - old Boy Happen on Secret of Flyire Disks?", Summarized by Frank Scully (page 202):"This is the story of a fifteen-year- old boy interested in short-wave construction , who accidently hit on the wave length of mag- netic frequency and everytime he dialed this frequency he shorted every motor-driven ve- hicle using the ignition sy- stem for a radius of three miles, This incident occurred back in 1941 in Appelton,Wisc. In check, Dick Williams found that motors of planes flying over his house were also short -ed. The local airfield had made record of the phenomena several times."

This stat- istic has now been tested in several different ways and has proven to be stable and valid, It means that approximately 30,000,000 people have now ep an AA. However, other in- depqient polls have placed the figure somewhat lower, per- haps because ly8R included the under-21 age group in its poll. Since the summer of 1968, Speo- iglized Research has been con- ducting a poll of 250 Ufolo~ gists, testing opinions and attitudes om a wide variety of related subjects. As part of ess, control 250 non-UFO-cr- iented people were also polled and asked questions identical to, or simi: to, those asked the Ufologists. College class groups and audiences at non~- UPO lectures in several major cities comprised the CG. Over- all, these Cds are very close in edusation and age to the general field of UFO research- ers. Opinions were recorded on Geniac cards anonymously, = ched, and sorted mechanically. It was found that each block of 75 cards correlated faver- ably (almost exactly) with each other block so we feel that 250 participants provide an adequate sampling for our pur- poses.

The UFO- group was evenly divided poli- Stoalty, with 50% claiming to be liberal and 50% claiming to be conservative. The CG was 858 liberal and 12% conserva- tive. 12, Ocoult oriented. 13. atheists. In future articles we will gummarize and compare the CG responses with those from the UFO group. The CG were asked a block of questions which were mot inoluded in the main UFO- group poll. Ufologists weren't asked if they had ever seen a UFO, or if they believed the objects might be soma seoret government project, These ques- tions were asked the 1966 Gellup Poll and the poll Comdusted for the UFO ject at Colorade University (1968). They were asked of our CG only. ® (CONTINUED OVERLEAF)
