The research program of the James Associates has gone on constantly for over two years now. It has never been deterred or disturbed by the silent boycott of its findings exerted in the dream-world of conventional saucerdom. We are intent on ascertaining the laws governing the realms from which these creatures and craft hail. We are keenly aware of the philosophical and methodological impasse to which the UFO and the Space Age have brought science. We have attempted at all times to give objective proof of the things we have investigated and written about. We hope that our labors will help find the way for our country to lead the investigation of invisible and finer forces.

Our work has gone almost entirely into repeatable photography of the human force field and the perfection of mechanical-optical devices for viewing human radiation directly; yet we take time off for UFO photography as a sort of sport. After taking our films and photographs we often "let off" two or three dozen exposures aimed at the invisible inhabitants of our atmosphere. All this work has enabled us to make certain observations, which we set down here to guide those who follow, or tread the same path.

There are certain canons and laws that prevail in the etheric realm, by which we mean that realm immediately adjacent to and interpenetrating the physical and mineral realm. In terms of outer experiment verification of these laws is exceedingly difficult and requires painstaking research.

As an example of this let us examine a question that puzzled us for months: that of craft which could be seen etherically but which would not react with the film emulsions, even the infrared emulsions. These craft would be in the picture alright, but as a stirring or rearrangement of the emulsion to follow the lines of force in their structure. There was no emulsion reaction in the ordinary chemical sense, the effect being somewhat comparable to photographing a completely transparent and non-reflecting object. Thus, looking carefully into the picture the ghostly form of the space ship could easily be traced but it was not a true picture that conventional thinkers would accept.

That we did get occasional emulsion reactions and photographs in this way was a frustrating puzzle until we came in contact with the work of George De La Warr, the British radionics pioneer. By much devoted labor in his Oxford laboratory De La Warr had found that everything living has an etheric axis, so to speak, and that even physical-mineral substances exhibit this property to a lesser degree.

Using his own invention, a portable detector, and the appropriate thought form, De La Warr was able to establish not only the line of this axis in the physical-mineral world, but also that there were definite nodal points of etheric energy along it. If your film was on the etheric axis, and also on a nodal point in either instance, you got the energy transfer necessary to give a photograph. We believe now that while highspeed infrared film will always give better results than conventional film in UFO photography, any film will give this reaction if the camera and object are critically rotated and the camera is on the node.

[22]

This is probably the reason for the strange photographs that people take when they see nothing in a landscape, but find UFOs on their finished film! They just happened to fall into the proper orientation and physical separation from that creature or craft, and when the shutter was tripped they got the reaction we call a photograph.

When vehicles emerge into the physical-material level of vibration they may be photographed in accordance with the laws and canons of this realm. There is no trick to that kind of photography. The recording of forms belonging to other realms however, requires compliance with the laws prevailing there and which are just as easily mastered as physical laws if the subject is approached in the proper way. Our work with auric photography on human beings has further verified this principle as being one that will eventually lay bare the whole etheric level to human photographic investigation. We have sought at all times to keep our experiments as simple as possible, to avoid complexity and ooze up with repeatable experiments that a child can follow. For this reason we sought to avoid getting into critical rotation and nodal points in this work, preferring in the initial stages to set up a basic proof of the presence of the human force field. This we did and previously published in Round Robin.

However, when it came to refining this activity to catch the outer aura on film, we found it no longer possible to avoid critical rotation and nodal distance as experimental conditions. On this phase our new experiments are being pushed forward. Highspeed infrared film exposed without reference to any of these things will verify repeatably and beyond all argument that a human has a field of force around him. The magnetic properties of that force field, however, demand compliance with the canons and laws of the etheric level before they will permit themselves to be recorded. An interesting observation here is that photography of the aura has frustrated for generations those who have attempted it. This is one of the reasons why the subtle vibrations around a human are so elusive. Distance is critical, and so is orientation, something not normally encountered in conventional photography.

In April, 1958 we exposed a hundred feet of motion picture film which in every frame showed objects above James' head. These objects changed form, shape and number in between frames of film exposed at 24 frames per second. We were so appalled by this manifestation, which had manifested to etheric sight only as a churning effect in the air above James, that we repeated the experiment the next week. The Hollywood processing firm that developed the film claimed they handled millions of feet of film a year and had never seen anything like this before. The emulsion seemed almost lifted where the objects registered, and looking at twenty feet or more of the negative in a length, these "scars" on the emulsion could be clearly seen.

The next week we went back to the desert, set the camera down in the same holes in the sand it had occupied the previous week, and started proceedings again. Again we had a hundred feet of these fantastic dancing objects that moved with the almost inertialess properties of an electron beam. Again the same effect manifested on the negatives. We even had the processor scrub the negative down again to be sure. Although the scrubbing lifted most of the emulsion off, the marks remained, inexorable, enigmatic, challenging. In our collection today there is some four hundred feet of this film and I doubt if any living scientist would venture an opinion as to what these objects might be.

[23]

We have captured the some or closely similar creatures on still shots. These were published in "They Live In The Sky" as UFO showers. Eight or ten articles this length could be written outlining various facets of our photographic experiences. They would only serve to render even clearer the inference that is evident to the reader, viz. that the immediately super-physical realm, known metaphysically as the functional or vital realm, has its own canons and laws which must be obeyed if it is to be investigated.

We know from our photographs that we are not dealing with human beings in physical-mineral bodies. There is no proof whatever that such entities are involved in the UFO, even though vehicles have been seen with the regular eye-sight. We know that creatures and craft exist in a range of form above and below human sight, form which register to radar but defy visual collation.

We also know that we are confronted finally with the scientific fact that life exists in our atmosphere just as it exists in the earth and in the sea, and that this life is invisible to normal human sight. We know that the very existence of this life, and its objectification, punches gaping holes in the theories of scientism not only about life on other planets, its favorite parlor speculation game these days, but of life itself.

That such scientific information is unpopular and unwelcome is shown by the fact that when we offered to place everything we had learned and photographed at the disposal of the U.S. Government, which we did on two separate occasions, our offer was rejected, once without even an acknowledgement. Such is the fear of spiritual enlightenment that grips our country today.

On the following page are three examples of the James Associates' successful use of infrared film in photographing objects in the invisible, fourth state of matter. In the bottom corner are two snapshots by Associate Thurman C. Dibble of Portland. These appear to be good examples of James' hypothesis that the photographer must be accidentally or intentionally lined up with the etheric axis of the UFO for it to react on the film emulsion. Dibble says "there was nothing in the sky" when these snapshots were taken within a minute of each other in August, 1958.

James is understandably proud of the top photo (right), perhaps the only one which shows a purported contactee in the same picture with a Flying Saucer! He says "the black dot about the central dark portion corresponds to the lens, or source of energy ingress to the vehicle. According to Van Tassel this is primary radiation from the sun. Either the dot on the photo was caused by the absorption of regular light, or it was caused by a concentration of radiation beyond the vibratory response of the film. Etheric sight aids here, for the portion of these discs that is visible to etheric vision is the lens, which manifests as a brilliant pin point to that sight. It is at these pin points that our camera is aimed. Therefore we must assume that our sensory testimony is correct and that the latter explanation of the black pin point is the correct one, namely a concentration of radiation at a frequency beyond the vibratory response of the film. Immediately below the black dot is the body of the vehicle, which has the same basic shape as the Van Tassel drawings in Proceedings. This is not fully materialized into the infrared, indicating that it has emerged from an even more remote range of form." (Perhaps from the fifth state of matter, [24] the Life-Ether. See the chart on page 11 of the November Round Robin. Ed.)

AT LEFT is a strip of six frames from the highspeed infrared movie film of the "churning turbulence" seen over Trevor James' head in the desert. Remember, the six frames cover only ¼ second of time. Each frame is exposed ¹⁄₅₀ of a second and there is only ¹⁄₅₀ of a second of time between each frame. In term of earth time the changes are almost instantaneous. Hollywood Pathe film technicians had never seen anything like this before in millions of feet of movie film. AT RIGHT, on infrared film, is a still photo of "etheric fauna disporting themselves above Mt. Wilson on the morning of Jan. 19, 1959, before sunup," according to James Associates. They are sure astronomers at Mt. Wilson observatory could get photos like these "if they would expose enough film at the right time." We are sure Associates who are familiar with Trevor James work through previous articles in RR, and his book "They Live In The Sky," will appreciate this further evidence from his research into the invisible. AND BELOW are Dibble's pictures of invisible UFOs gliding along over an Oregon landscape. The one on the left was made on infrared film, the picture on the right was made on ordinary film.
