Michael Swords on Tombaugh, Mars, and UFOs

Click here for a 1999 Journal of Scientific Exploration paper by Michael Swords wherein he touts Clyde Tombaugh (and others) and the UFO phenomenon.

Antecedents for Betty Hill's Abduction

Here are two pre-1961 images that may account for Betty Hill’s hypnotically recalled medical examination during her alleged alien abduction:





There are other fictional accounts, with drawings, that seem to mimic, but pre-date, all abduction episodes.

This seems to be grist for those wishing to unravel the UFO abduction phenomenon.

The (Real) 1964 Socorro sighting

The Socorro/Zamora sighting of April 24, 1964 was a Hughes Aircraft testing episode.

Here is a prototype moon lander (similar to the one seen by Lonnie Zamora) -- the Surveyor was used for later moon landings:



Here is the full schematic:



Here is the Army's moon lander design:



And here is a lander (with module) that is similar to the Hughes design:



This is the Russian LK lander, which was close in design to the Hughes prototype -- note the uniformed astronaut:



Here is the opening of a paper from Holloman AFB about the methodology that was used to test the lander:

It is hoped that before the end of 1965, an assault will be made on the moon with Surveyor, a squat three-legged derrick of piping and scientific equipment being built by Hughes Aircraft Company.

For a full, detailed analysis of the Socorro sighting (including an explanation for the insignia seen/drawn by Zamora which we’ve traced to a Hughes logo), bona fide researchers can request access to our private UFO web-site.

The 1947 Kenneth Arnold Sighting

These are the airplanes that Kenneth Arnold saw, through a temperature inversion, near Mt. Rainer on June 24th, 1947.





The planes were Navy A-7s, flown out of the Whidbey Island Naval Base in Washington.





(A full exegesis of the Arnold sighting may be found at our UFO web-site.)

The Origin of Betty Hill's Star Map

This is a picture of a map that hung in the Rockingham (New Hampshire) Hotel where the NAACP held its meetings in the early 1960s:



Betty Hill was a member of the Rockingham NAACP. This is Betty Hill’s (drawn by her) Star Map:
