who was still to battle for many years to come for the truth which he propounded. We ask again for that First Lady's gracious attention to certain matters which we believe, as in years gone by, will be of interest to her, also today. Our Open Letter we respectfully address to - Her Majesty, Queen Juliana of the Netherlands.

An open Letter

SOESTDUK PALACE, SOESTDUK, HOLLAND. To Her Majesty, Queen Juliana. Your Majesty,

We venture to approach you on a matter which we believe will be of some interest to you, the subject being one of immense importance, bearing as it does implications of a nature which might well affect in the future every aspect of human endeavour on this Earth. The subject of which we speak has once before been brought to Your Majesty's attention, and, we understand, received careful consideration; in fact, it is in the belief that Your Majesty has shown more than usual interest that we make this approach to- day. May we, with respect, ask you to cast your mind back 8 years. In May of 1959, Your Majesty was pleased to request the presence of Mr. George Adamski, of California, at Soestdijk Palace. Mr. Adamski was at that time on a world lecture-tour. This gentleman had an unusual story to tell. He spoke of visitations to this planet by human beings from outer space. He spoke of kind human beings who had travelled in their spaceships, often called "flying saucers", from their home planets in our solar system, from Venus, from Saturn, Mars and others. Their understanding was far ahead of our own, their sincere interest in our welfare was part of a philosophy of brotherhood and love for all of the Creator's Works. This was George Adamski's story. In 1959, the subject of flying saucers was consid- ered by the majority to be laughable. Any attempt to discuss the possibility of beings technologically superior to us, visiting Earth in space craft travelling at fantastic speeds, was to dismiss all the scientific concepts of the day. Indeed, in 1959, scientists were

existing anywhere at all outside of Earth. And any suggestion that intelligent beings existed who had progressed past the stages of war and poverty and racial intolerance, was to speak of Heaven itself. Now, in 1967, many things have changed. The majority still laughs, yes. But one sees in the ever- expanding minority a level of rational but intelligent thought which would have been branded a "heresy" against the whole Establishment just a few years ago. With our own greatly-increased space activity and the near-proximity of an Earth-man's landing on the Moon, ideas have had to change along with the immense changes in the means of travel. What modern science has yet to discover, how- ever, is an antidote to the enormously swollen ego of "Earth-man" which has gained nothing from the discoveries of Galileo other than astronomical data and some very basic facts con- cerning the solar system in which we live. What they have not yet learned from the "here- tical" revelations of Galileo is that scientific "fact" of today is not necessarily scientific "fact" of to- morrow; that they, too, the modern scientists, may be called upon - and perhaps very soon - to change all previous concepts of astronomy and physical to accept that Earth-man is not, after all, alone in the Universe. One of the pioneers in this school of thought was George Adamski. Since his passing, in April 1965, others have come forward to carry on his work. Madam, on several occasions in the years since

New colour movies have been taken of their ships, on occasion with the deliberate connivance of the pilots of the craft concerned. An American lady, Mrs. Madeleine Rodeffer, and two Germanborn, naturalised Americans, Mr. and Mrs. Fred Stieckling, have been privileged not only to meet these people from other planets but they have also been enabled to photograph the movement of their craft on colour-film. All of these films have been viewed by persons in authority, including photographers from the
