    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.

UFO's Come Martian In

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.

Most of the aliens recovered from
crashed ships are three to four-and-a-half
feet tall. 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.

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.

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
