An even greater increase in activity was made with the premature discovery of nuclear fission, which represents a very great menace to all entities on all planes, and Flying Saucers began to be seen much more frequently than before. The results of the present uncontrolled heavy metals atomic explosions, while very annoying, are not particularly dangerous except from the standpoint of atmospheric contamination. It is possible, however, to employ methods which will react with certain constituents of this planet, and thus cause its destruction. The present band of asteroids between Mars and Jupiter are the remains of a former planet which was destroyed by this means, The result was catastrophic on all planets and planes. This particular formula has not yet been discovered on your planet, and it has been determined that it shall not be developed.

Contrary to the dire warnings of certain cults and certain astral dwellers, however, there is no desire or intention or destroying your planet. Neither is there any wish or intent to depopulate it. Not only is killing forbidden by laws, but also [2] it is fully recognized that the discarnation of an undesirable entity affords only temporary relief at best, and may ultimately aggravate the problem. Once they have been reoriented on another plane, they have even greater powers than before and hence, greater power for harm. Any individual discarnations of your people will be only as a last desperate temporary resort, after all other means have failed. Remember always that our aim is to aid you, not to harm you.

OUR DEMONIC PLAYMATES WOULD DESTROY US

The present situation might well be analogized by saying that when a child reaches a certain age, it must be taught to employ such useful aids as fire and sharp-edged tools. It must be watched, however, and perhaps at times even forcibly restrained to prevent it, in its ignorance, from cutting its own throat or burning the house down. At the moment, the racial "child" has just discovered some things far beyond its ability to understand or safely use. The situation is further complicated by the fact that some of its more demonic playmates are urging it to use its newfound knowledge in particularly dangerous ways. These consist of both entities on the Lower Astral and persons of low intelligence who inhabit the Cavern homes of the Elder Races, and have use of electronic apparatus which was abandoned there.

It is clearly recognized that the only safe solution for all concerned is education which will raise the mass intelligence and ethical level of the Adamic races. Restraints cannot be permanently effective, for some will eventually evade them. Taboos against the use of the things which have been prematurely learned are worse than useless. Previous experience indicates that, due to some psychological perversity of the Adamic races, this tends to glamorize the forbidden thing, and makes them more determined than ever to do it. Even temporary restraints can be employed with great discretion. One learns primarily by their own experience and error. These educational errors must be permitted, and restraints should be used only when they threaten to become major tragedies.

In the final analysis, no one can "teach" another. One can merely place information before another, in proper sequence, and in accord with the student's mental capacity and understanding; and then, by various psychological stratagems, attempt to secure its acceptance as fact. Fear is a powerful stimulus and frequently used to channel thought into some desired field. It too must be used with very great discretion. If a fear is permitted to become too widespread, or too intense, then the fearful ones may, by the unconscious use of the Laws of Thought, create the very thing which they fear.

Some news suppressions have been the result of stupidity and/or lack of understanding on the part of your scientists and public officials. Others have been directed in order to reduce [3] some fear which was getting out of control.

THE MASTERS OF THE MENTAL SCIENCES

The task of your Guardian races is threefold. First and foremost is to accelerate the spiritual awakening and the resulting ethical and moral development of the Adamic races. Second is to closely watch their scientific progress, aiding that which is beneficial, retarding that which is detrimental, and temporarily halting that which is disastrous. Third is to watch the evil influences which may prompt some to take harmful actions. Interference with these influences will come only if they threaten to cause very great harm. The Adamic races must learn to recognize and resist these influences on their own behalf. To this end, they must be permitted to make errors in judgment in these matters, and to suffer the natural consequences thereof, that they may learn by their own unpleasant experiences.

These three different tasks are being handled by three different groups, each of which ordinarily restrict their activities to their own particular task. They work in close harmony and cooperation; however, and will promptly aid one another if the need arises. Each also receives valuable aid from many different groups and individuals on many different planes, including some of the more advanced thinkers of your own plane. These latter, either knowingly or unknowingly, often are of great assistance as the "eyes" and "hands" of those from other planes who cannot work directly on this one.

Since the ethical and moral phases of the task involve the use of the mental sciences, they are directed by those who are the recognized masters of these sciences, namely: The Etheric Atlans and Lemurians. Both of these formerly dwelt on the material (a) plane of your planet, and are now on the etheric counterpart of your planet. On rare occasions they may use some form of mechanical transport, but usually function by non-mechanical means. Most of the Flying Saucers seen by you belong to others.

The scientific phases are in the hands of the Etheric Nors, specifically a sub-branch known as the Viknors. They are the recognized masters of the physical sciences, and for many ages past it has been the custom of other races to call upon them for aid in scientific matters. One group of them also formerly inhabited the material plane of your planet, but for a much shorter period of time than the other two races. They are now on Mars and Venus Etheria, with the greater part of those who are engaged in the present operation coming from the latter place. Most of the Flying Saucers are operated by them.

The third phase, that of coping with the evil influences, is handled by a mixed group. Actual direction is in the hands of the Lemurians, with the Nors functioning when anything of a mechanical nature is involved. Much work is also done by the more advanced groups in the Caverns, and by groups on the various Astral planes.

UP AND DOWN THE SCALE OF TANGIBILITY

Effective observation and action on any plane can be accomplished only on that plane. Thus the Flying Saucers of the Venusian Nors must be capable of both inter-planetary and inter-plane travel. They must be brought here from Venus and converted to the vibrational level of this plane. Any of the various types of craft you have seen could be transported here individually, if desired. Any of them could also be converted to your vibrational frequency individually, either by the use of their own mechanism or by external influences. As a matter of operational convenience, however, they are usually brought here in large numbers on a carrier craft. These carriers, by the use of their own mechanism, can teleport themselves to this planet, and simultaneously convert to the desired vibrational level. They remain high above the surface of your planet, in order to prevent detection, and to act as a base and coordinating center for their smaller fliers.

In the teleportation method of transportation, the craft and everything on it are converted into pure energy, which is reconverted into its original form at the desired point an almost immeasurable instant later. The control is very delicate, and it is very difficult to exactly place the craft when working from a mobile control. Due to very slight errors, several carriers have been reconverted quite close to the planet, and it is believed that at least one of these was observed from the surface. To avoid such incidents in the future, the reconversion point is now a considerable distance from your planet, and the carrier then comes in to the desired altitude by what you would term "normal space flight".

There are several types of carriers but the only one so far used in the present operations (1952) is known as the Voku class (b). It is about 7,000 feet long and 500 feet in diameter. It normally carries a crew of about 2,500, including the technicians and the pilots of the smaller fliers. They can use several different types of propulsion, according to circumstances. They are heavily armed.

JET POWER FROM ATOMIC FISSION

The smaller fliers use several different types of propulsion. A form of jet propulsion, although very ancient, is still extensively used. A very small "dis" ray, playing upon a stream of fuel in a closed chamber, atomically disintegrates it. The usual fuel is air, which is collected in scoops by the forward motion of the craft, and automatically compressed to injection pressure. Other fuels, including metals, can be used in airless locations. The end products of the process are radio-active, and can be detected by the usual test apparatus. Since none of the heavy metals group is ever used for fuel, however, the radioactivity is very short-lived, and does not cause any permanent atmospheric contamination. (As do our uranium bombs!)

Electro-magnetic drive operates by cutting the natural magnetic lines of force produced by a planetary body, and can be used only relatively near the surface of some planet. When used at low altitudes, it has the effect of blanking out radio apparatus and causing variations in magnetic compasses and other magnetic apparatus in the vicinity.

RIDING THE GALACTIC WAVES

Primary Drive is a true space drive and, although it can be used on a planet, it is ordinarily used only when it is desired to travel at a very high rate of speed for long distances. Control mechanism on the craft is placed in synchronous frequency with the universal energy flows which exist in all space, but slightly out of phase with them. Either lagging or leading phase can be used, depending on whether it is desired to travel with the flows or against them. The speed depends on the degree of phase angle which, in turn, depends on the amount of shading power which the control apparatus can apply. The maximum potential speed is never realized, since practical navigational and control problems usually limit the top usable speed to about 27,000 miles per hour. A few exceptionally skilled pilots have exceeded this.

In addition to the three types of propulsion listed, all craft have means of hovering-motionless when desired. One piece of apparatus produces a cone-shaped electrical field which diverts the flow of gravity around the craft, much as the umbrella diverts rain, thus canceling most of the weight. Another produces a downward electron beam jet which compensates for the slight remaining weight. It is quite common to use this diversion field while in flight, in order to reduce the effective mass of the craft, thus making it more maneuverable and reducing the amount of power required to maintain flight. This field will, under certain conditions, produce a corona discharge which will give the craft the appearance of being surrounded by a luminous or fiery, envelope. A similar corona effect is also quite common on craft using the electro-magnetic form of propulsion.

The Viknors have, to date, used seven different types of fliers:

1. Suza Class. These are doughnut-shaped, about 125 feet outside diameter, with a hole about 25 feet in diameter, and about 30 feet thick. They are sometimes referred to as "flying laboratories", because of the large amount of test equipment which they carry. They are an observation craft, and used only when very involved technical observations are required. Normal crew, 50. Electro-magnetic drive.

2. Tonton Class. Cigar-shaped, about 100 feet long by 25 feet maximum diameter. Primarily an escort and fighter craft. Used only if circumstances require protection for the other craft. Normal crew, 20. Uses both jet and primary drive.

[6]

3. Fakle type. Spherical, about 100 feet in diameter. A transport craft, used to carry both passengers and cargo. Normal crew, 25 or 30. Electro-magnetic drive.

4. Olon type. Crescent or rubber heel shaped, about 45 feet across by 18 feet thick. Reconnaissance craft. Normal crew, 5. Uses jet drive, one jet being placed in a universal mounting at each of the points of the crescent. Control is by changing the direction of these jets, no external control surfaces being used. This is a very ancient type of flier but well suited to the requirements of the present task and, therefore, the type most frequently flown.

5. Oloner type. Similar in shape and construction to the Olon type, but much smaller, being only about 14 feet across. A single-place flier, but can carry two when required.

6. Pomid type. Spherical, about 5 or 6 feet in diameter. Robot and remote controlled from some other craft. Used for visual observation where larger craft would attract too much attention. Electro-magnetic drive.

7. Pomider type. A smaller version of the Pomid, being only about one foot in diameter. Frequently mistaken for a Fireball.

POLICING THE SOLAR SYSTEM

Aside from the Viknor craft described, various other types are seen at very frequent intervals. Some groups on your planet and plane have found and re-activated very ancient fliers which were left here by the old Elder Races. These_are mostly predecessors of the Olon class. Visitors from other solar systems occasionally come to this one for various purposes. Otherwise they are usually intercepted and turned back in the outer limits of this solar system.

("Usually turned back". But what about those Invaders that are not intercepted and turned back. Are they ruthlessly hunted down and shot down? It would seem so, from such blasts as the so-called Tunguska meteorite of the early 1900s, or the Norton, Kansas blast of 1948. There is plenty of other evidence of aerial Armageddon going on overhead -- if one wants to read it that way. RHC)

The craft most deserving of the name Flying Saucers were brought to this planet in 1949 by a midget race from your moon (from a temporary base on the moon). These were slightly less than 100 feet in diameter, but much of this area was aerodynamic surface, the actual cabin being only about lo feet in diameter. They used electro-magnetic or earth-induction drive, but different in construction from from that used by the Nor craft. It was their first interplanetary flight, and their purpose was peaceable exploration. They became stranded here, without base or supervisory control, when their carrier craft became disabled. The small fliers were unable to return to Luna because they were [7] incapable of space flight.

One of the Lunar fliers was shot down over Northern Mexico by the over-anxious pilot of a Nor patrol craft, when it failed to respond to signals, or otherwise identify itself. Several others were caused to crash by your radar, to which they were particularly susceptible because of insufficient shielding of their drive and control apparatus. As soon as it became evident that the return of their carrier would be indefinitely delayed, and that the craft and pilots were unable to cope with conditions on this planet, they were rounded up and returned to Luna by a Viknor carrier. Of the original 37 fliers, 26 were safely returned to their home base. Eight were known to have crashed. It is assumed that the remaining three went down unnoticed.

In her writings on Occult Science, Dion Fortune observes that the only Occult organizations which amount to a damn are those based on a piece of inspired writing. If the founder himself or herself is not the channel, he or she is closely connected with a trance or cosmic medium through whom the inspired material is channeled, and the founder builds the supportive organization by which the message is spread abroad.

"The Coming of the Guardians" is the inspired "bible" of Borderland Sciences Research Foundation. Our founder, Meade Layne, put it together from the channelings of Ralph Holland and Mark Probert. When your present editor read the above explanation of the Viknors and their patrol operations over this planet in 1952, I was convinced that this was the clearest and most authoritative explanation of the Flying Saucer phenomenon that I had seen in print at that time. Certainly no such clear and direct explanation was coming from any of our so-called authorities here on the surface of the earth! And it's a good thing I didn't hold my breath waiting for such information or I would have died of asphyxiation long, long ago.

The late Ralph 'Rolf Telano' Holland was a Star Person from Venus. This picture is an enlargement from a 35mm color photo taken by the present Director of BSRF in April, 1960, at Mr. Holland's Cuyahoga Falls, Ohio home.
