C.C. Reader In light of the current science fiction craze glimmers the probability of actual encounters with beings from other worlds. Such fantasies give way to fascination when the truth of the matter is known. There have been actual visitations to the earth by people from other planets, and the information is not based on messages left by ancient earth civiliza tions, but on documented governmental evidence. Robert D. Barry, an authority on the subject of unidentified flying objects, has spent many years researching the phe nomenon and has revealed startling information. His sources include people who work or have worked in govern ment agencies and who believe that the American people have a right to the information. The government's involvement with unidentified flying objects began in 1952. During that year, a large number of UFO sightings in America left the public in a state of wonder and amazement. The nation was becoming extremely inter ested in 'flying saucers,' as they were called then. The Central Intelligence Agency de cided to take specific action in the situation, and appointed a panel of scientists to study all available govern mental information on the subject. The panel was to determine, from the infor mation received, if UFOs presented a threat to the national security. Informa tion on the phenomena at that time included motion picture footage, still shots, and factual reports. After the scientists had carefully studied the data, they condluded unan imously that the UFOs posed no direct threat to national security. The panel, however, felt that there was not enough data to adequately explain the phenom ena to the American people.

PERSONAL 41 MOUNTAIN WOMAN - You're a good friend to have around. --HLB UFO's Come Martian In by Jan Hrabovsky Their 'solution' was to present the CIA with a program to discredit all reports of UFO sightings. The CIA took the panel's suggestion, and began its program of UFO debunking through use of the media. Radio, television, magazines and newspapers were all used to discredit sightings of extraterrestrial crafts, re lating them to such things as swamp gas or ball lightning. The CIA went so far as to incorporate a Walt Disney cartoon in ints efforts. In the years that followed, though, the reports of sightings continued, and so did the government's polity of dis gracing them. The actions taken behind the scenes of national defense, however, reflected a very different attitude to ward the alien visitors. A document produced by the Ameri can Defense Association in Washington D.C. in 1962 told of the plan to develop manned orbital systems for a very specific reason. A portion of a monthly newsletter for those in the defense preparedness organization reads as follows: 'The de fense department has decided to develop the technology of manned orbital sys tems able to rendezvous with satellites, and land at pre-set locations on earth, with such technological insurance, that we should be able to verify that the unidentified space vehicles are, in fact, peaceful. If they are proved to be hostile, they will be neutralized before they can do harm to mankind.' Some of the unidentified space vehi cles that have visited the earth did not have the good fortune of a smooth landing. A number of UFOs have crash ed on the earth's surface over the years, and some fascinating knowledge about alien crafts and beings has been learned and kept secret by those in government. Through the reports made by a doctor in Cleveland, Ohio, who perform ed autopsies on bodies recovered from UFO wreckage, we have a good idea of what some alien people look like.

The remaining bodies range from five-and-one-half to seven feet in height. The alien corpses that are being kept in cold storage in hospitals across the country -- and there are about thirty to thirty-four of them -- are of those two specific types. The beings in the five-and-one-half to seven foot range are as human in appearance as you and I. Sources report that these peopel could go undetected among earthlings. The smaller beings would be easily distinguishable. They have four fingers and no thumb on each hand, with webbing in between. Thei heads and arms are large in proportion to their bodies, with their hands falling below their knees. The eyes have been termed 'wrap-around' because they are wide-set and continue around to the sides of their heads. Noses and mouths are rather small, and it is known that the people have nitrogen-breathing systems. The knowl edge that our earth's atmosphere con tains more nitrogen than it does oxygen gives reason to believe that the aliens would adapt very well to life on our planet. Computers getting Campus Digest News Service Electronic games are not only here to stay but are also becoming more sophisticated. The games which now incorporate small computers called microprocessors have boosted sales. Sales this year are expected to reach $1 billion this year, up from the $4O million in 1976, which was their first year. Electronic games now account for over 10 percent of all toy sales. However, a securities analyst says that the brisk sales pace is likely to slow somewhat during this recession. In the first electronic games, the microprocessors simply flashed lights, made noises and kept score. The games were simple and involved guessing words or numbers or duplicating patterns of light or sound. In the newer games strategy is involved, and the computer has become an invisible opponent. Some computer programs for playing checkers are stronger than all but the best human players. The top chess program, Chess 4.9, written at Northwestern University can beat the typical tournament player. A year ago, a world champion backgammon player was beaten by a computer program written at Carnegie-Mellon University. Last June, a computer beat the national champion at Othello, a strategy game. A Carnegie-Mellon Othello program is so powerful that its creators can only improve the program by play Dr. Brian Sutton-Smith talked about childrens values and modern technology on Monday as part of the Provost's Lecture Series. Experiments with the vehicles re covered at various crash sites have given scientists the information needed to actually fly the vehicles, and in 1962 the government was doing just that. Sources report that armed forces officials had the technology to lift the craft into the air and bring it down again. The metal that the crafts are made of is a soft but durable substance that we have not been able to duplicate. The communications systems found on board are undergoing experimentation as well. A crashed UFO was reported in Bolivia in 1978. The news made head lines in South America, but the story was kept from the American people. An official aboard the Air Force cargo plane that was sent to recover the wreckage would admit only that the craft was not a satellite. The report will continue in the next issue of the C.C.Reader with a 'close encounter of the third kind,' in which aliens discuss the 'COSMIC CREATOR.' The important significance of a popular 'science fiction movie' will also be dis closed. smarter Computers do not owe their strength to in telligence but to a process which is not like human thought. Using advanced equipment and high-speed programming techniques, the machines make a complete search of thousands of possible moves and play what seems best. For example, one of the most for midable checkers programs, Duke University's Paaslow, has only a child-like understanding of the game but wins through its ability to con sider every possible play as far as 25 moves ahead. Its calculations take only two minutes. The fastest chess-playing computer is even quicker. It examines 60,000 possible moves per second. Important progress has been made recently in the effort to make computer programs play more like humans, relying on plans, judgment and familiarity with patterns of play. Over twenty years ago, a Nobel laureate in correctly predicted that within 10 years a com puter would be chess champion of the world unless barred from play. Now, computer scientists expect machines to outdo humans within 20 years. But the feat is difficult enough that a $lOO,OOO prize has been established by a Cambridge, Mass. foundation to promote that effort. Most top-rated game programs can only be run on large computers, but programs for
