he lives in a big ranch house. He vacations in Mexico and has his own
clerical staff. His two books _Flying_ _Saucers_ _Have_ _Landed_ and
_Inside_ _the_ _Space_ _Ships_ have sold something in the order of
200,000 copies and have been translated into nearly every language
except Russian. To date, he's had eleven visits from people from
Mars, Venus and Saturn. Evidently Truman Bethurum's Aura Rhanes put
out the word about earthmen because two beautiful spacewomen have now
entered Adamski's life: an "incredibly lovely" blonde named Kalna,
and the equally beautiful Illmuth.

Only a few months ago, while on one of his numerous nationwide
lecture tours, a saucer unexpectedly picked Adamski up in Kansas City
and took him on a galactic cruise before depositing him at Ft.
Madison, Iowa, where he had a lecture date. He "wowed" the packed
auditorium with his "proof"--an unused Kansas City to Ft. Madison
train ticket.

Last week, in the Netherlands (Adamski's nationwide tours have
expanded to world-wide tours), he repeated his exploits to Queen
Juliana.

But at Buckingham Palace, Mr. Barnum, all he saw was the changing of
the guard.

CHAPTER TWENTY

Do They or Don't They?

During the past four years the most frequent question I've been
asked is: "What do you personally think? Do unidentified flying
objects exist, or don't they?"

I'm positive they don't.

I was very skeptical when I finished my tour of active duty with the
Air Force and left Project Blue Book in 1953, but now I'm convinced.

Since I left the Air Force the Age of the Satellite has arrived and
we're in it. Along with this new era came the long range radars, the
satellite tracking cameras, and the other instruments that would have
picked up any type of "spaceship" coming into our atmosphere.

None of this instrumentation has ever given any indication of any
type of unknown vehicle entering the earth's atmosphere.

I checked this with the Department of Defense and I checked this
through friends associated with tracking projects. In both cases the
results were completely negative.

There's not even a glimmer of hope for the UFO.

Then there's Project MOONWATCH, the Optical Satellite Tracking
Program for the International Geophysical Year.

Dr. J. Allen Hynek, the director of MOONWATCH wrote to me: "I can
quite safely say that we have no record of ever having received from
our MOONWATCH teams any reports of sightings of unidentified objects
which
