THE STRANGE LITTLE MAN WHO INVENTED FLYING SAUCERS A/K/A THE HAMMER OF ORTHODOXY
[John Keel, the author of much of this piece, was himself as much of an enigma as Ray Palmer. I knew both of them. RAP was the more complex of the two, Keel a reporter-theorist of sorts of the Saga-Argosy-Men's Magazines of the times. RAP was a science fiction person and publisher, crucified by the science fiction establishment for having the temerity to say that, after a fashion, he believed a lot of the stuff he wrote about, notably the so-called "Shaver Mystery". He went from SF to Fate, co-founded wiuth Curtis Fuller, and then such titles as Search, Flying Saucers, Ray Palmer's Forum and The Hidden Worlds series. He was severely disabled, something rarely mentioned in the literature. He eventually bought the rights to Saucer News, but that is another story altogether. His immediate critics were truly vicious, not merely disbelieving, and never really got what he was driving at; -Sam Moskowitz comes to mind. To an extent this was posthumously addressed when, in 2013, RAP was inducted into the First Fandom Hall of Fame at the 71st World Science Fiction Convention. Ironically, I did, Gene Steinberg did, Tom Comella did and a few others got it. I had some talks with his critics, and decided they were criticizing a mythical Ray Palmer, not the real man. Many of us got our start with RAP.]
"To people old enuf to've grown up in the era of magazines like "Science Wonder Stories", "True Gang Life", "Murder Mysteries", & especially "Amazing Stories" will probably remember the remarkable Ray Palmer as editor, writer, & publisher of some.. sensational stuff. Amongst the most sensational may've been Richard Shaver's claims that rocks are ancient books from a society more technologically advanced than our own & Shaver's claim that DERO (DEtrimental RObots) live in the Hollow Earth & menace surface dwellers. Whether Shaver really believed any of this I can't tell you. Nonetheless, he's attracted the attn of people like myself - & at least one magazine, "Shavertron", has been named in his honor.
"Shaver made many paintings based around the "rock books" &, I must say, I rather like them. They're sortof a weird cross between 'Outsider Art', Cubism & Playboy. They're unique enuf to deserve far more attn than they get. While I don't find the 'science' in this bk to be particularly compelling, I love the eccentricity of it all. I've even used Shaver's work in 2 projects of my own: "The Sinnit-Nut Hollow Earth Symposium" & "Backwards Masking in Rocks". The latter borrows heavily from Shaver."
Raymond A. Palmer
and the Flying Saucer Mythos
"In 1947, the editor of Amazing Stories watched in astonishment as the things he had been fabricating for years in his magazine suddenly came true!...Once the belief system had been set up it became self-perpetuating. The people beleaguered by mysterious rays were joined by the wishful thinkers who hoped that living, compassionate beings existed out there beyond the stars. They didn't need any real evidence. The belief itself was enough to sustain them."
"I thought it was the sickest crap I'd run into."
-Howard Browne, Palmer's Associate Editor

The Man Who Invented Flying Saucers
by John A. Keel
North America's "Bigfoot" was nothing more than an Indian legend until a zoologist named Ivan T. Sanderson began collecteing contemporary sightings of the creature in the early 1950s, publishing the reports in a series of popular magazine articles. He turned the tall, hairy biped into a household word, just as British author Rupert T. Gould rediscovered sea serpents in the 1930s and, through his radio broadcasts, articles, and books, brought Loch Ness to the attention of the world. Another writer named Vincent Gaddis originated the Bermuda Triangle in his 1965 book, Invisible Horizons: Strange Mysteries of the Sea. Sanderson and Charles Berlitz later added to the Triangle lore, and rewriting their books became a cottage industry among hack writers in the United States.
Charles Fort put bread on the table of generations of science fiction writers when, in his 1931 book Lo!, he assembled the many reports of objects and people strangely transposed in time and place, and coined the term "teleportation." And it took a politician named Ignatius Donnelly to revive lost Atlantis and turn it into a popular subject (again and again and again). (1)
But the man responsible for the most well-known of all such modern myths -- flying saucers -- has somehow been forgotten. Before the first flying saucer was sighted in 1947, he suggested the idea to the American public. Then he converted UFO reports from what might have been a Silly Season phenomenon into a subject, and kept that subject alive during periods of total public disinterest.
His name was Raymond A. Palmer.
Born in 1911, Ray Palmer suffered severe injuries that left him dwarfed in stature and partially crippled. He had a difficult childhood because of his infirmities and, like many isolated young men in those pre-television days, he sought escape in "dime novels," cheap magazines printed on coarse paper and filled with lurid stories churned out by writers who were paid a penny a word. He became an avid science fiction fan, and during the Great Depression of the 1930s he was active in the world of fandom -- a world of mimeographed fanzines and heavy correspondence. (Science fiction fandom still exists and is very well organized with well-attended annual conventions and lavishly printed fanzines, some of which are even issued weekly.) In 1930, he sold his first science fiction story, and in 1933 he created the Jules Verne Prize Club which gave out annual awards for the best achievements in sci-fi. A facile writer with a robust imagination, Palmer was able to earn many pennies during the dark days of the Depression, undoubtedly buoyed by his mischievous sense of humor, a fortunate development motivated by his unfortunate physical problems. Pain was his constant companion.
In 1938, the Ziff-Davis Publishing Company in Chicago purchased a dying magazine titled Amazing Stories. It had been created in 1929 by the inestimable Hugo Gernsback, who is generally acknowledged as the father of modern science fiction. Gernsback, an electrical engineer, ran a small publishing empire of magazines dealing with radio and technical subjects. (he also founded Sexology, a magazine of soft-core pornography disguised as science, which enjoyed great success in a somewhat conservative era.) It was his practice to sell -- or even give away -- a magazine when its circulation began to slip.
Although Amazing Stories was one of the first of its kind, its readership was down to a mere 25,000 when Gernsback unloaded it on Ziff-Davis. William B. Ziff decided to hand the editorial reins to the young science fiction buff from Milwaukee, Wisconsin. At the age of 28, Palmer found his life's work.
Expanding the pulp magazine to 200 pages (and as many as 250 pages in some issues), Palmer deliberately tailored it to the tastes of teenage boys. He filled it with nonfiction features and filler items on science and pseudo-science in addition to the usual formula short stories of BEMs (Bug-Eyed Monsters) and beauteous maidens in distress. Many of the stories were written by Palmer himself under a variety of pseudonyms such as Festus Pragnell and Thorton Ayre, enabling him to supplement his meager salary by paying himself the usual penny-a-word. His old cronies from fandom also contributed stories to the magazine with a zeal that far surpassed their talents.
In fact, of the dozen or so science magazines then being sold on the newsstands, Amazing Stories easily ranks as the very worst of the lot. Its competitors, such as Startling Stories, Thrilling Wonder Stories, Planet Stories and the venerable Astounding (now renamed Analog) employed skilled, experienced professional writers like Ray Bradbury, Isaac Asimov, and L. Ron Hubbard (who later created Dianetics and founded Scientology). Amazing Stories was garbage in comparison and hardcore sci-fi fans tended to sneer at it. (2)
The magazine might have limped through the 1940s, largely ignored by everyone, if not for a single incident. Howard Browne, a television writer who served as Palmer's associate editor in those days, recalls: "early in the 1940s, a letter came to us from Dick Shaver purporting to reveal the "truth" about a race of freaks, called "Deros," living under the surface of the earth. Ray Palmer read it, handed it to me for comment. I read a third of it, tossed it in the waste basket. Ray, who loved to show his editors a trick or two about the business, fished it out of the basket, ran it in Amazing, and a flood of mail poured in from readers who insisted every word of it was true because they'd been plagued by Deros for years. (3)
Actually, Palmer had accidentally tapped a huge, previously unrecognized audience. Nearly every community has at least one person who complains constantly to the local police that someone -- usually a neighbor -- is aiming a terrible ray gun at their house or apartment. This ray, they claim, is ruining their health, causing their plants to die, turning their bread moldy, making their hair and teeth fall out, and broadcasting voices into their heads. [To the Reichian concept of DOR (Dead Orgone), stir in the bizarre sci-fi tales of " Alex Constantine," and Kathy Kasten, et al, for a latter-day equivalent of the Shaverian Dero Ray-Gun Attack mythos -B:.B:.] Psychiatrists are very familiar with these "ray" victims and relate the problem with paranoid-schizophrenia.
For the most part, these paranoiacs are harmless and usually elderly. Occasionally, however, the voices they hear urge them to perform destructive acts, particularly arson. They are a distrustful lot, loners by nature, and very suspicious of everyone, including the government and all figures of authority. In earlier times, they thought they were hearing the voice of God and/or the Devil. Today they often blame the CIA or space beings for their woes. They naturally gravitate to eccentric causes and organizations which reflect their own fears and insecurities, advocating bizarre political philosophies and reinforcing their peculiar belief systems. Ray Palmer unintentionally gave thousands of these people focus to their lives.
Shaver's long, rambling letter claimed that while he was welding (4) he heard voices which explained to him how the underground Deros were controlling life on the surface of the earth through the use of fiendish rays. Palmer rewrote the letter, making a novelette out of it, and it was published in the March 1945 issue under the title: "I Remember Lemuria -- by Richard Shaver."
The Shaver Mystery was born.
Somehow the news of Shaver's discovery quickly spread beyond science fiction circles and people who had never before bought a pulp magazine were rushing to their local newsstands. The demand for Amazing Stories far exceeded the supply and Ziff-Davis had to divert paper supplies (remember there were still wartime shortages) from other magazines so they could increase the press run of AS.
"Palmer traveled to Pennsylvania to talk to Shaver," Howard Browne later recalled, "found him sitting on reams of stuff he'd written about the Deros, bought every bit of it and contracted for more. I thought it was the sickest crap I'd run into. Palmer ran it and doubled the circulation of Amazing within four months."
By the end of 1945, Amazing Stories was selling 250,000 copies per month, an amazing circulation for a science fiction pulp magazine. Palmer sat up late at night, rewriting Shaver's material and writing other short stories about the Deros under pseudonyms. Thousands of letters poured into the office. Many of them offered supporting "evidence" for the Shaver stories, describing strange objects they had seen in the sky and strange encounters they had had with alien beings. It seemed that many thousands of people were aware of the existence of some distinctly non-terrestrial group in our midst. Paranoid fantasies were mixed with tales that had the uncomfortable ring of truth. The "Letters-to-the-Editor" section was the most interesting part of the publication. Here is a typical contribution from the issue for June 1946:
Sirs:
I flew my last combat mission on May 26 [1945] when I was shot up over Bassein and ditched my ship in Ramaree roads off Chedubs Island. I was missing five days. I requested leave at Kashmere (sic). I and Capt. (deleted by request) left Srinagar and went to Rudok then through the Khese pass to the northern foothills of the Karakoram. We found what we were looking for. We knew what we were searching for.
For heaven's sake, drop the whole thing! You are playing with dynamite. My companion and I fought our way out of a cave with submachine guns. I have two 9" scars on my left arm that came from wounds given me in the cave when I was 50 feet from a moving object of any kind and in perfect silence. The muscles were nearly ripped out. How? I don't know. My friend has a hole the size of a dime in his right bicep. It was seared inside. How we don't know. But we both believe we know more about the Shaver Mystery than any other pair. You can imagine my fright when I picked up my first copy of Amazing Stories and see you splashing words about the subject.
The identity of the author of this letter was withheld by request. Later Palmer revealed his name: Fred Lee Crisman. He had inadvertently described the effects of a laser beam -- even though the laser wasn't invented until years later. Apparently Crisman was obsessed with Deros and death rays long before Kenneth Arnold sighted the "first" UFO in June 1947.
In September 1946, Amazing Stories published a short article by W.C. Hefferlin, "Circle-Winged Plane," describing experiments with a circular craft in 1927 in San Francisco. Shaver's (Palmer's) contribution to that issue was a 30,000 word novelette, "Earth Slaves to Space," dealing with spaceships that regularly visited the Earth to kidnap humans and haul them away to some other planet. Other stories described amnesia, an important element in the UFO reports that still lay far in the future, and mysterious men who supposedly served as agents for those unfriendly Deros.
A letter from army lieutenant Ellis L. Lyon in the September 1946 issue expressed concern over the psychological impact of the Shaver Mystery.
What I am worried about is that there are a few, and perhaps quite large number of readers who may accept this Shaver Mystery as being founded on fact, even as Orson Welles put across his invasion from Mars, via radio some years ago. It is of course, impossible for the reader to sift out in your "Discussions" and "Reader Comment" features, which are actually letters from readers and which are credited to an Amazing Stories staff writer, whipped up to keep alive interest in your fictional theories. However, if the letters are generally the work of readers, it is distressing to see the reaction you have caused in their muddled brains. I refer to the letters from people who have "seen" the exhaust trails of rocket ships or "felt" the influence of radiations from underground sources.
Palmer assigned artists to make sketches of objects described by readers and disc-shaped flying machines appeared on the covers of his magazine long before June 1947. So we can note that a considerable number of people -- millions -- were exposed to the flying saucer concept before the national news media was even aware of it. Anyone who glanced at the magazines on a newsstand and caught a glimpse of the saucers-adorned Amazing Stories cover had the image implanted in his subconscious. In the course of the two years between march 1945 and June 1947, millions of Americans had seen at least one issue of Amazing Stories and were aware of the Shaver Mystery with all of its bewildering implications. Many of these people were out studying the empty skies in the hopes that they, like other Amazing Stories readers, might glimpse something wondrous. World War II was over and some new excitement was needed. Raymond Palmer was supplying it -- much to the alarm of Lt. Lyon and Fred Crisman.
Aside from Palmer's readers, two other groups were ready to serve as cadre for the believers. About 1,500 members of Tiffany Thayer's Fortean Society knew that weird aerial objects had been sighted throughout history and some of them were convinced that this planet was under surveillance by beings from another world. Tiffany Thayer was rigidly opposed to Franklin Roosevelt and loudly proclaimed that almost everything was a government conspiracy, so his Forteans were fully prepared to find new conspiracies hidden in the forthcoming UFO mystery. They would become instant experts, willing to educate the press and public when the time came. The second group were spiritualists and students of the occult, headed by Dr. Meade Layne, who had been chatting with the space people at seances through trance mediums and Ouija boards. They knew the space ships were coming and hardly surprised when "ghost rockets" were reported over Europe in 1946. (5) Combined, these three groups represented a formidable segment of the population.
On June 24, 1947, Kenneth Arnold made his famous sighting of a group of "flying saucers" over Mt. Rainier, and in Chicago Ray Palmer watched in astonishment as the newspaper clippings poured in from every state. The things that he had been fabricating for his magazine were suddenly coming true!
For two weeks, the newspapers were filled with UFO reports. Then they tapered off and the Forteans howled "Censorship!" and "Conspiracy!" But dozens of magazine writers were busy compiling articles on this new subject and their pieces would appear steadily during the next year. One man, who had earned his living writing stories for the pulp magazines in the 1930s, saw the situation as a chance to break into the "slicks" (better quality magazines printed on glossy or "slick" paper). Although he was 44 years old at the time of Pearl Harbor, he served as a Captain in the marines until he was in a plane accident. Discharged as a Major (it was the practice to promote officers one grade when they retired), he was trying to resume his writing career when Ralph Daigh, an editor at True magazine, assigned him to investigate the flying saucer enigma. Thus, at the age of 50, Donald E. Keyhhoe entered Never-Never-Land. His article, "Flying Saucers Are Real," would cause a sensation, and Keyhoe would become an instant UFO personality.
That same year, Palmer decided to put out an all-flying saucer issue of Amazing Stories. Instead, the publisher demanded that he drop the whole subject after, according to Palmer, two men in Air Force uniforms visited him. Palmer decided to publish a magazine of his own. Enlisting the aid of Curtis Fuller, editor of a flying magazine, and a few other friends, he put out the first issue of Fate in the spring of 1948. A digest-sized magazine printed on the cheapest paper, Fate was as poorly edited as Amazing Stories and had no impact on the reading public. But it was the only newsstand periodical that carried UFO reports in every issue. The Amazing Stories readership supported the early issues wholeheartedly.
In the fall of 1948, the first flying saucer convention was held at the Labor Temple on 14th Street in New York City. Attended by about thirty people, most of whom were clutching the latest issue of Fate, the meeting quickly dissolved into a shouting match. (6) Although the flying saucer mystery was only a year old, the side issues of government conspiracy and censorship already dominated the situation because of their strong emotional appeal. The U.S. Air Force had been sullenly silent throughout 1948 while, unbeknownst to the UFO advocates, the boys at Wright- Patterson Air Force Base in Ohio were making a sincere effort to untangle the mystery.
When the Air Force investigation failed to turn up any tangible evidence (even though the investigators accepted the extraterrestrial theory) General Hoyt Vandenburg, Chief of the Air Force and former head of the CIA, ordered a negative report to release to the public. The result was Project Grudge, hundreds of pages of irrelevant nonsense that was unveiled around the time True magazine printed Keyhoe's pro-UFO article. Keyhoe took this personally, even though his article was largely a rehash of Fort's book, and Ralph Daigh had decided to go with the extraterrestrial hypothesis because it seemed to be the most commercially acceptable theory (that is, it would sell magazines).
Palmer's relationship with Ziff-Davis was strained now that he was publishing his own magazine. "When I took over from Palmer, in 1949," Howard Browne said, "I put an abrupt end to the Shaver Mystery -- writing off over 7,000 dollars worth of scripts."
Moving to Amherst, Wisconsin, Palmer set up his own printing plant and eventually he printed many of those Shaver stories in his Hidden Worlds series. As it turned out, postwar inflation and the advent of television was killing the pulp magazine market anyway. In the fall of 1949, hundreds of pulps suddenly ceased publication, putting thousands of writers and editors out of work. Amazing Stories has often changed hands since but is still being published, and is still paying its writers a penny a word. (7)
For some reason known only to himself, Palmer chose not to use his name in Fate. Instead, a fictitious "Robert N. Webster" was listed as editor for many years. Palmer established another magazine, Search, to compete with Fate. Search became a catch-all for inane letters and occult articles that failed to meet Fate's low standards.
Although there was a brief revival of public and press interest in flying saucers following the great wave of the summer of 1952, the subject largely remained in the hands of cultists, cranks, teenagers, and housewives who reproduced newspaper clippings in little mimeographed journals and looked up to Palmer as their fearless leader.
In June, 1956, a major four-day symposium on UFOs was held in Washington, D.C. It was unquestionably the most important UFO affair of the 1950s and was attended by leading military men, government officials and industrialists. Men like William Lear, inventor of the Lear Jet [Yup, John "The Horrible Truth" Lear's dad -B:.B:.], and assorted generals, admirals and former CIA heads freely discussed the UFO "problem" with the press. Notably absent were Ray Palmer and Donald Keyhoe. One of the results of the meetings was the founding of the National Investigation Committee on Aerial Phenomena (NICAP) by a physicist named Townsend Brown. Although the symposium received extensive press coverage at the time, it was subsequently censored out of UFO history by the UFO cultists themselves -- primarily because they had not participated in it. (8)
The American public was aware of only two flying saucer personalities, contactee George Adamski, a lovable rogue with a talent for obtaining publicity, and Donald Keyhoe, a zealot who howled "Coverup!" and was locked in mortal combat with Adamski for newspaper coverage. Since Adamski was the more colorful (he had ridden a saucer to the moon), he was usually awarded more attention. The press gave him the title of "astronomer" (he lived in a house on Mount Palomar where a great telescope was in operation), while Keyhoe attacked him as "the operator of a hamburger stand." Ray Palmer tried to remain aloof of the warring factions, so naturally, some of them turned against him.
The year 1957 was marked by several significant developments. There was another major flying saucer wave. Townsend Brown's NICAP floundered and Keyhoe took it over. And Ray Palmer launched a new newsstand publication called Flying Saucers From Other Worlds. In the early issues he hinted that he knew some important "secret." After tantalizing his readers for months, he finally revealed that UFOs came from the center of the earth and the phrase "From Other Worlds" was dropped from the title. His readers were variously enthralled, appalled, and galled by the revelation.
For seven years, from 1957 to 1964, ufology in the United States was in total limbo. This was the Dark Age. Keyhoe and NICAP were buried in Washington, vainly tilting at windmills and trying to initiate a congressional investigation into the UFO situation. [It is therefore with Great Thanksgiving in Our Hearts that we applaud the Fine Efforts of CSETI's Steve Greer to carry on this proud -- albeit amusingly Quixotic -- tradition, some four decades later. -B:.B:.]
A few hundred UFO believers clustered around Coral Lorenzen's Aerial Phenomena Research Organization (APRO). And about 2,000 teenagers bought Flying Saucers from newsstands each month. Palmer devoted much space to UFO clubs, information exchanges, and letters-to-the-editor. So it was Palmer, and Palmer alone, who kept the subject alive during the Dark Age and lured new youngsters into ufology. He published his strange books about Deros, and ran a mail-order business selling the UFO books that had been published after various waves of the 1950s. His partners in the Fate venture bought him out, so he was able to devote his full time to his UFO enterprises.
Palmer had set up a system similar to sci-fi fandom, but with himself as the nucleus. He had come a long way since his early days and the Jules Verne Prize Club. He had been instrumental in inventing a whole system of belief, a frame of reference -- the magical world of Shaverism and flying saucers -- and he had set himself up as the king of that world. Once the belief system had been set up it became self-perpetuating. The people beleaguered by mysterious rays were joined by the wishful thinkers who hoped that living, compassionate beings existed out there beyond the stars. They didn't need any real evidence. The belief itself was enough to sustain them.
When a massive new UFO wave -- the biggest one in U.S. history -- struck in 1964 and continued unabated until 1968, APRO and NICAP were caught unawares and unprepared to deal with renewed public interest. Palmer increased the press run of Flying Saucers and reached out to a new audience. Then in the 1970s, a new Dark Age began. October 1973 produced a flurry of well- publicized reports and then the doldrums set in. NICAP strangled in its own confusion and dissolved in a puddle of apathy, along with scores of lesser UFO organizations. Donald Keyhoe, a very elder statesman, lives in seclusion in Virginia. Most of the hopeful contactees and UFO investigators of the 1940s and 50s have passed away. Palmer's Flying Saucers quietly self-destructed in 1975, but he continued with Search until his death in 1977. Richard Shaver is gone but the Shaver Mystery still has a few adherents. Yet the sad truth is that none of this might have come about if Howard Browne hadn't scoffed at that letter in that dingy editorial office in that faraway city so long ago.
Footnotes:
Donnelly's book, Atlantis, published in 1882, set off a 50- year wave of Atlantean hysteria around the world. Even the characters who materialized at seances during that period claimed to be Atlanteans.
The author was an active sci-fi fan in the 1940s and published a fanzine called Lunarite. Here's a quote from Lunarite dated October 26, 1946: "Amazing Stories is still trying to convince everyone that the BEMs in the caves run the world. And I was blaming it on the Democrats. 'Great Gods and Little Termites' was the best tale in this ish [issue]. But Shaver, author of the 'Land of Kui,' ought to give up writing. He's lousy. And the editors of AS ought to join Sgt. Saturn on the wagon and quit drinking that Xeno or the BEMs in the caves will get them."
I clearly remember the controversy created by the Shaver Mystery and the great disdain with which the hardcore fans viewed it.
From Cheap Thrills: An Informal History of the Pulp Magazines by Ron Goulart (published by Arlington House, New York, 1972).
It is interesting that so many victims of this type of phenomenon were welding or operating electrical equipment such as radios, radar, etc. when they began to hear voices.
The widespread "ghost rockets" of 1946 received little notice in the U.S. press. I remember carrying a tiny clipping around in my wallet describing mysterious rockets weaving through the mountains of Switzerland. But that was the only "ghost rocket" report that reached me that year.
I attended this meeting but my memory of it is vague after so many years. I cannot recall who sponsored it.
A few of the surviving science fiction magazines now pay (gasp!) three cents a word. But writing sci-fi still remains a sure way to starve to death.
When David Michael Jacobs wrote The UFO Controversy in America, a book generally regarded as the most complete history of the UFO maze, he chose to completely revise the history of the 1940s and 50s, carefully excising any mention of Palmer, the 1956 symposium, and many of the other important developments during that period.

Charles Fort put bread on the table of generations of science fiction writers when, in his 1931 book Lo!, he assembled the many reports of objects and people strangely transposed in time and place, and coined the term "teleportation." And it took a politician named Ignatius Donnelly to revive lost Atlantis and turn it into a popular subject (again and again and again). (1)
But the man responsible for the most well-known of all such modern myths -- flying saucers -- has somehow been forgotten. Before the first flying saucer was sighted in 1947, he suggested the idea to the American public. Then he converted UFO reports from what might have been a Silly Season phenomenon into a subject, and kept that subject alive during periods of total public disinterest.
His name was Raymond A. Palmer.
Born in 1911, Ray Palmer suffered severe injuries that left him dwarfed in stature and partially crippled. He had a difficult childhood because of his infirmities and, like many isolated young men in those pre-television days, he sought escape in "dime novels," cheap magazines printed on coarse paper and filled with lurid stories churned out by writers who were paid a penny a word. He became an avid science fiction fan, and during the Great Depression of the 1930s he was active in the world of fandom -- a world of mimeographed fanzines and heavy correspondence. (Science fiction fandom still exists and is very well organized with well-attended annual conventions and lavishly printed fanzines, some of which are even issued weekly.) In 1930, he sold his first science fiction story, and in 1933 he created the Jules Verne Prize Club which gave out annual awards for the best achievements in sci-fi. A facile writer with a robust imagination, Palmer was able to earn many pennies during the dark days of the Depression, undoubtedly buoyed by his mischievous sense of humor, a fortunate development motivated by his unfortunate physical problems. Pain was his constant companion.
In 1938, the Ziff-Davis Publishing Company in Chicago purchased a dying magazine titled Amazing Stories. It had been created in 1929 by the inestimable Hugo Gernsback, who is generally acknowledged as the father of modern science fiction. Gernsback, an electrical engineer, ran a small publishing empire of magazines dealing with radio and technical subjects. (he also founded Sexology, a magazine of soft-core pornography disguised as science, which enjoyed great success in a somewhat conservative era.) It was his practice to sell -- or even give away -- a magazine when its circulation began to slip.
Although Amazing Stories was one of the first of its kind, its readership was down to a mere 25,000 when Gernsback unloaded it on Ziff-Davis. William B. Ziff decided to hand the editorial reins to the young science fiction buff from Milwaukee, Wisconsin. At the age of 28, Palmer found his life's work.
Expanding the pulp magazine to 200 pages (and as many as 250 pages in some issues), Palmer deliberately tailored it to the tastes of teenage boys. He filled it with nonfiction features and filler items on science and pseudo-science in addition to the usual formula short stories of BEMs (Bug-Eyed Monsters) and beauteous maidens in distress. Many of the stories were written by Palmer himself under a variety of pseudonyms such as Festus Pragnell and Thorton Ayre, enabling him to supplement his meager salary by paying himself the usual penny-a-word. His old cronies from fandom also contributed stories to the magazine with a zeal that far surpassed their talents.
In fact, of the dozen or so science magazines then being sold on the newsstands, Amazing Stories easily ranks as the very worst of the lot. Its competitors, such as Startling Stories, Thrilling Wonder Stories, Planet Stories and the venerable Astounding (now renamed Analog) employed skilled, experienced professional writers like Ray Bradbury, Isaac Asimov, and L. Ron Hubbard (who later created Dianetics and founded Scientology). Amazing Stories was garbage in comparison and hardcore sci-fi fans tended to sneer at it. (2)
The magazine might have limped through the 1940s, largely ignored by everyone, if not for a single incident. Howard Browne, a television writer who served as Palmer's associate editor in those days, recalls: "early in the 1940s, a letter came to us from Dick Shaver purporting to reveal the "truth" about a race of freaks, called "Deros," living under the surface of the earth. Ray Palmer read it, handed it to me for comment. I read a third of it, tossed it in the waste basket. Ray, who loved to show his editors a trick or two about the business, fished it out of the basket, ran it in Amazing, and a flood of mail poured in from readers who insisted every word of it was true because they'd been plagued by Deros for years. (3)
Actually, Palmer had accidentally tapped a huge, previously unrecognized audience. Nearly every community has at least one person who complains constantly to the local police that someone -- usually a neighbor -- is aiming a terrible ray gun at their house or apartment. This ray, they claim, is ruining their health, causing their plants to die, turning their bread moldy, making their hair and teeth fall out, and broadcasting voices into their heads. [To the Reichian concept of DOR (Dead Orgone), stir in the bizarre sci-fi tales of " Alex Constantine," and Kathy Kasten, et al, for a latter-day equivalent of the Shaverian Dero Ray-Gun Attack mythos -B:.B:.] Psychiatrists are very familiar with these "ray" victims and relate the problem with paranoid-schizophrenia.
For the most part, these paranoiacs are harmless and usually elderly. Occasionally, however, the voices they hear urge them to perform destructive acts, particularly arson. They are a distrustful lot, loners by nature, and very suspicious of everyone, including the government and all figures of authority. In earlier times, they thought they were hearing the voice of God and/or the Devil. Today they often blame the CIA or space beings for their woes. They naturally gravitate to eccentric causes and organizations which reflect their own fears and insecurities, advocating bizarre political philosophies and reinforcing their peculiar belief systems. Ray Palmer unintentionally gave thousands of these people focus to their lives.
Shaver's long, rambling letter claimed that while he was welding (4) he heard voices which explained to him how the underground Deros were controlling life on the surface of the earth through the use of fiendish rays. Palmer rewrote the letter, making a novelette out of it, and it was published in the March 1945 issue under the title: "I Remember Lemuria -- by Richard Shaver."
The Shaver Mystery was born.
Somehow the news of Shaver's discovery quickly spread beyond science fiction circles and people who had never before bought a pulp magazine were rushing to their local newsstands. The demand for Amazing Stories far exceeded the supply and Ziff-Davis had to divert paper supplies (remember there were still wartime shortages) from other magazines so they could increase the press run of AS.
"Palmer traveled to Pennsylvania to talk to Shaver," Howard Browne later recalled, "found him sitting on reams of stuff he'd written about the Deros, bought every bit of it and contracted for more. I thought it was the sickest crap I'd run into. Palmer ran it and doubled the circulation of Amazing within four months."
By the end of 1945, Amazing Stories was selling 250,000 copies per month, an amazing circulation for a science fiction pulp magazine. Palmer sat up late at night, rewriting Shaver's material and writing other short stories about the Deros under pseudonyms. Thousands of letters poured into the office. Many of them offered supporting "evidence" for the Shaver stories, describing strange objects they had seen in the sky and strange encounters they had had with alien beings. It seemed that many thousands of people were aware of the existence of some distinctly non-terrestrial group in our midst. Paranoid fantasies were mixed with tales that had the uncomfortable ring of truth. The "Letters-to-the-Editor" section was the most interesting part of the publication. Here is a typical contribution from the issue for June 1946:
Sirs:
I flew my last combat mission on May 26 [1945] when I was shot up over Bassein and ditched my ship in Ramaree roads off Chedubs Island. I was missing five days. I requested leave at Kashmere (sic). I and Capt. (deleted by request) left Srinagar and went to Rudok then through the Khese pass to the northern foothills of the Karakoram. We found what we were looking for. We knew what we were searching for.
For heaven's sake, drop the whole thing! You are playing with dynamite. My companion and I fought our way out of a cave with submachine guns. I have two 9" scars on my left arm that came from wounds given me in the cave when I was 50 feet from a moving object of any kind and in perfect silence. The muscles were nearly ripped out. How? I don't know. My friend has a hole the size of a dime in his right bicep. It was seared inside. How we don't know. But we both believe we know more about the Shaver Mystery than any other pair. You can imagine my fright when I picked up my first copy of Amazing Stories and see you splashing words about the subject.
The identity of the author of this letter was withheld by request. Later Palmer revealed his name: Fred Lee Crisman. He had inadvertently described the effects of a laser beam -- even though the laser wasn't invented until years later. Apparently Crisman was obsessed with Deros and death rays long before Kenneth Arnold sighted the "first" UFO in June 1947.
In September 1946, Amazing Stories published a short article by W.C. Hefferlin, "Circle-Winged Plane," describing experiments with a circular craft in 1927 in San Francisco. Shaver's (Palmer's) contribution to that issue was a 30,000 word novelette, "Earth Slaves to Space," dealing with spaceships that regularly visited the Earth to kidnap humans and haul them away to some other planet. Other stories described amnesia, an important element in the UFO reports that still lay far in the future, and mysterious men who supposedly served as agents for those unfriendly Deros.
A letter from army lieutenant Ellis L. Lyon in the September 1946 issue expressed concern over the psychological impact of the Shaver Mystery.
What I am worried about is that there are a few, and perhaps quite large number of readers who may accept this Shaver Mystery as being founded on fact, even as Orson Welles put across his invasion from Mars, via radio some years ago. It is of course, impossible for the reader to sift out in your "Discussions" and "Reader Comment" features, which are actually letters from readers and which are credited to an Amazing Stories staff writer, whipped up to keep alive interest in your fictional theories. However, if the letters are generally the work of readers, it is distressing to see the reaction you have caused in their muddled brains. I refer to the letters from people who have "seen" the exhaust trails of rocket ships or "felt" the influence of radiations from underground sources.
Palmer assigned artists to make sketches of objects described by readers and disc-shaped flying machines appeared on the covers of his magazine long before June 1947. So we can note that a considerable number of people -- millions -- were exposed to the flying saucer concept before the national news media was even aware of it. Anyone who glanced at the magazines on a newsstand and caught a glimpse of the saucers-adorned Amazing Stories cover had the image implanted in his subconscious. In the course of the two years between march 1945 and June 1947, millions of Americans had seen at least one issue of Amazing Stories and were aware of the Shaver Mystery with all of its bewildering implications. Many of these people were out studying the empty skies in the hopes that they, like other Amazing Stories readers, might glimpse something wondrous. World War II was over and some new excitement was needed. Raymond Palmer was supplying it -- much to the alarm of Lt. Lyon and Fred Crisman.
Aside from Palmer's readers, two other groups were ready to serve as cadre for the believers. About 1,500 members of Tiffany Thayer's Fortean Society knew that weird aerial objects had been sighted throughout history and some of them were convinced that this planet was under surveillance by beings from another world. Tiffany Thayer was rigidly opposed to Franklin Roosevelt and loudly proclaimed that almost everything was a government conspiracy, so his Forteans were fully prepared to find new conspiracies hidden in the forthcoming UFO mystery. They would become instant experts, willing to educate the press and public when the time came. The second group were spiritualists and students of the occult, headed by Dr. Meade Layne, who had been chatting with the space people at seances through trance mediums and Ouija boards. They knew the space ships were coming and hardly surprised when "ghost rockets" were reported over Europe in 1946. (5) Combined, these three groups represented a formidable segment of the population.
On June 24, 1947, Kenneth Arnold made his famous sighting of a group of "flying saucers" over Mt. Rainier, and in Chicago Ray Palmer watched in astonishment as the newspaper clippings poured in from every state. The things that he had been fabricating for his magazine were suddenly coming true!
For two weeks, the newspapers were filled with UFO reports. Then they tapered off and the Forteans howled "Censorship!" and "Conspiracy!" But dozens of magazine writers were busy compiling articles on this new subject and their pieces would appear steadily during the next year. One man, who had earned his living writing stories for the pulp magazines in the 1930s, saw the situation as a chance to break into the "slicks" (better quality magazines printed on glossy or "slick" paper). Although he was 44 years old at the time of Pearl Harbor, he served as a Captain in the marines until he was in a plane accident. Discharged as a Major (it was the practice to promote officers one grade when they retired), he was trying to resume his writing career when Ralph Daigh, an editor at True magazine, assigned him to investigate the flying saucer enigma. Thus, at the age of 50, Donald E. Keyhhoe entered Never-Never-Land. His article, "Flying Saucers Are Real," would cause a sensation, and Keyhoe would become an instant UFO personality.
That same year, Palmer decided to put out an all-flying saucer issue of Amazing Stories. Instead, the publisher demanded that he drop the whole subject after, according to Palmer, two men in Air Force uniforms visited him. Palmer decided to publish a magazine of his own. Enlisting the aid of Curtis Fuller, editor of a flying magazine, and a few other friends, he put out the first issue of Fate in the spring of 1948. A digest-sized magazine printed on the cheapest paper, Fate was as poorly edited as Amazing Stories and had no impact on the reading public. But it was the only newsstand periodical that carried UFO reports in every issue. The Amazing Stories readership supported the early issues wholeheartedly.
In the fall of 1948, the first flying saucer convention was held at the Labor Temple on 14th Street in New York City. Attended by about thirty people, most of whom were clutching the latest issue of Fate, the meeting quickly dissolved into a shouting match. (6) Although the flying saucer mystery was only a year old, the side issues of government conspiracy and censorship already dominated the situation because of their strong emotional appeal. The U.S. Air Force had been sullenly silent throughout 1948 while, unbeknownst to the UFO advocates, the boys at Wright- Patterson Air Force Base in Ohio were making a sincere effort to untangle the mystery.
When the Air Force investigation failed to turn up any tangible evidence (even though the investigators accepted the extraterrestrial theory) General Hoyt Vandenburg, Chief of the Air Force and former head of the CIA, ordered a negative report to release to the public. The result was Project Grudge, hundreds of pages of irrelevant nonsense that was unveiled around the time True magazine printed Keyhoe's pro-UFO article. Keyhoe took this personally, even though his article was largely a rehash of Fort's book, and Ralph Daigh had decided to go with the extraterrestrial hypothesis because it seemed to be the most commercially acceptable theory (that is, it would sell magazines).
Palmer's relationship with Ziff-Davis was strained now that he was publishing his own magazine. "When I took over from Palmer, in 1949," Howard Browne said, "I put an abrupt end to the Shaver Mystery -- writing off over 7,000 dollars worth of scripts."
Moving to Amherst, Wisconsin, Palmer set up his own printing plant and eventually he printed many of those Shaver stories in his Hidden Worlds series. As it turned out, postwar inflation and the advent of television was killing the pulp magazine market anyway. In the fall of 1949, hundreds of pulps suddenly ceased publication, putting thousands of writers and editors out of work. Amazing Stories has often changed hands since but is still being published, and is still paying its writers a penny a word. (7)
For some reason known only to himself, Palmer chose not to use his name in Fate. Instead, a fictitious "Robert N. Webster" was listed as editor for many years. Palmer established another magazine, Search, to compete with Fate. Search became a catch-all for inane letters and occult articles that failed to meet Fate's low standards.
Although there was a brief revival of public and press interest in flying saucers following the great wave of the summer of 1952, the subject largely remained in the hands of cultists, cranks, teenagers, and housewives who reproduced newspaper clippings in little mimeographed journals and looked up to Palmer as their fearless leader.
In June, 1956, a major four-day symposium on UFOs was held in Washington, D.C. It was unquestionably the most important UFO affair of the 1950s and was attended by leading military men, government officials and industrialists. Men like William Lear, inventor of the Lear Jet [Yup, John "The Horrible Truth" Lear's dad -B:.B:.], and assorted generals, admirals and former CIA heads freely discussed the UFO "problem" with the press. Notably absent were Ray Palmer and Donald Keyhoe. One of the results of the meetings was the founding of the National Investigation Committee on Aerial Phenomena (NICAP) by a physicist named Townsend Brown. Although the symposium received extensive press coverage at the time, it was subsequently censored out of UFO history by the UFO cultists themselves -- primarily because they had not participated in it. (8)
The American public was aware of only two flying saucer personalities, contactee George Adamski, a lovable rogue with a talent for obtaining publicity, and Donald Keyhoe, a zealot who howled "Coverup!" and was locked in mortal combat with Adamski for newspaper coverage. Since Adamski was the more colorful (he had ridden a saucer to the moon), he was usually awarded more attention. The press gave him the title of "astronomer" (he lived in a house on Mount Palomar where a great telescope was in operation), while Keyhoe attacked him as "the operator of a hamburger stand." Ray Palmer tried to remain aloof of the warring factions, so naturally, some of them turned against him.
The year 1957 was marked by several significant developments. There was another major flying saucer wave. Townsend Brown's NICAP floundered and Keyhoe took it over. And Ray Palmer launched a new newsstand publication called Flying Saucers From Other Worlds. In the early issues he hinted that he knew some important "secret." After tantalizing his readers for months, he finally revealed that UFOs came from the center of the earth and the phrase "From Other Worlds" was dropped from the title. His readers were variously enthralled, appalled, and galled by the revelation.
For seven years, from 1957 to 1964, ufology in the United States was in total limbo. This was the Dark Age. Keyhoe and NICAP were buried in Washington, vainly tilting at windmills and trying to initiate a congressional investigation into the UFO situation. [It is therefore with Great Thanksgiving in Our Hearts that we applaud the Fine Efforts of CSETI's Steve Greer to carry on this proud -- albeit amusingly Quixotic -- tradition, some four decades later. -B:.B:.]
A few hundred UFO believers clustered around Coral Lorenzen's Aerial Phenomena Research Organization (APRO). And about 2,000 teenagers bought Flying Saucers from newsstands each month. Palmer devoted much space to UFO clubs, information exchanges, and letters-to-the-editor. So it was Palmer, and Palmer alone, who kept the subject alive during the Dark Age and lured new youngsters into ufology. He published his strange books about Deros, and ran a mail-order business selling the UFO books that had been published after various waves of the 1950s. His partners in the Fate venture bought him out, so he was able to devote his full time to his UFO enterprises.
Palmer had set up a system similar to sci-fi fandom, but with himself as the nucleus. He had come a long way since his early days and the Jules Verne Prize Club. He had been instrumental in inventing a whole system of belief, a frame of reference -- the magical world of Shaverism and flying saucers -- and he had set himself up as the king of that world. Once the belief system had been set up it became self-perpetuating. The people beleaguered by mysterious rays were joined by the wishful thinkers who hoped that living, compassionate beings existed out there beyond the stars. They didn't need any real evidence. The belief itself was enough to sustain them.
When a massive new UFO wave -- the biggest one in U.S. history -- struck in 1964 and continued unabated until 1968, APRO and NICAP were caught unawares and unprepared to deal with renewed public interest. Palmer increased the press run of Flying Saucers and reached out to a new audience. Then in the 1970s, a new Dark Age began. October 1973 produced a flurry of well- publicized reports and then the doldrums set in. NICAP strangled in its own confusion and dissolved in a puddle of apathy, along with scores of lesser UFO organizations. Donald Keyhoe, a very elder statesman, lives in seclusion in Virginia. Most of the hopeful contactees and UFO investigators of the 1940s and 50s have passed away. Palmer's Flying Saucers quietly self-destructed in 1975, but he continued with Search until his death in 1977. Richard Shaver is gone but the Shaver Mystery still has a few adherents. Yet the sad truth is that none of this might have come about if Howard Browne hadn't scoffed at that letter in that dingy editorial office in that faraway city so long ago.
Footnotes:
Donnelly's book, Atlantis, published in 1882, set off a 50- year wave of Atlantean hysteria around the world. Even the characters who materialized at seances during that period claimed to be Atlanteans.
The author was an active sci-fi fan in the 1940s and published a fanzine called Lunarite. Here's a quote from Lunarite dated October 26, 1946: "Amazing Stories is still trying to convince everyone that the BEMs in the caves run the world. And I was blaming it on the Democrats. 'Great Gods and Little Termites' was the best tale in this ish [issue]. But Shaver, author of the 'Land of Kui,' ought to give up writing. He's lousy. And the editors of AS ought to join Sgt. Saturn on the wagon and quit drinking that Xeno or the BEMs in the caves will get them."
I clearly remember the controversy created by the Shaver Mystery and the great disdain with which the hardcore fans viewed it.
From Cheap Thrills: An Informal History of the Pulp Magazines by Ron Goulart (published by Arlington House, New York, 1972).
It is interesting that so many victims of this type of phenomenon were welding or operating electrical equipment such as radios, radar, etc. when they began to hear voices.
The widespread "ghost rockets" of 1946 received little notice in the U.S. press. I remember carrying a tiny clipping around in my wallet describing mysterious rockets weaving through the mountains of Switzerland. But that was the only "ghost rocket" report that reached me that year.
I attended this meeting but my memory of it is vague after so many years. I cannot recall who sponsored it.
A few of the surviving science fiction magazines now pay (gasp!) three cents a word. But writing sci-fi still remains a sure way to starve to death.
When David Michael Jacobs wrote The UFO Controversy in America, a book generally regarded as the most complete history of the UFO maze, he chose to completely revise the history of the 1940s and 50s, carefully excising any mention of Palmer, the 1956 symposium, and many of the other important developments during that period.

a really balanced perspective on David J. Halperin's blog - dero | Journal of a UFO Investigator David Halperin
victimized
Skilled Investigator
My sister worked for a University Professor who was studying propulsion and he built his own UFO model........obviously human kind have the ability to emulate conditions already caused in Nature.
If you ask yourself why a cow could be witnessed levitating in the atmosphere, and in the video see a circular white light pulse in the atmosphere above the cow, is to review occultism itself.
Where occultism came from, why it was used, how it was used and what conditions imply occult itself?
The condition occult belongs to the human male's own witness to conditions in our atmosphere, his own self review that he can invent/create, his own self review that he is all knowing......yet his own cause and effect considerations of occult practice is that it is evil.
As occultism is the beginning of science and its own evolution and status gain in society, we then ask, why was evil allowed to continue, when it was known to cause evil attacks to human and animal life? Science was already quantified as being the evil attack of life and its continuance.
Due to the condition of ownership, status, values, imposed values, the human male's own self egotistical possession and their ancient attack on our family is why science regained a status in civilization. Our ancient family, a loving kind community with communal support simply survive on Earth, the energy in our atmosphere is not enough energy to keep our cell life living.....we do eat and we do drink water to survive. Our ancient brother, a like minded individual in consciousness formed a group who imposed a condition of attacking their family, taking over their family and their natural life condition, imposing fear and also tactics to gain ownership of their family and also a status to infer ownership with cruel social laws.
This is the history of our occult brother, and how he gained the status to overthrow our life with all of his occult values, his occult indoctrination, his self beliefs, his own values, his imposed values of conditions that never had values and how he has always used his own brotherhood to over rule all forms of information, including the truth.
Occultism itself was introduced as a reactive state caused by the presence and purpose of a human male, who likes to invent, who wants to own powers, who uses conversion to alter the natural powers that Nature owns, that then attack our life. This is a self owned male condition, relating to his own review that he is God...for he called God a male, inferred that a male created, and inferred that a male also saved life. Yet he only lived as a human being, the male and had no personal ownership of the natural life condition except his own presence.
The atmosphere, light sound has no male or female consideration, for sound is simply sound, and it is abstract to a owned self. For the atmospheric sound supports all creative acts, from stone, to the atmosphere, to all Nature.
So if you ask where did the concept for the UFO come from, when all information states, from and through the male's own consideration of creative powers, release of the powers, conversion of the powers so that his own human presence could then claim by personal applied technology (using machines/pyramids/temples) to use the powers for his own resourcing. The human male therefore is owner of the UFO activation, knows by his own history that he activated the UFO condition, male evidence, male stories, male consciousness, male use of information of past life memory (atmospheric photonic recordings) how he caused the UFO, what the UFO condition caused by activation and that he was the personal owner/causer of the activation.
Ancient realization of the UFO states, that a human male in a condition called Shamanic practice, took a soma, drugged his mind, used his drugged mind condition to review chemicals and the chemical changes via his mind state and gained brain status to review a past life memory when the UFO condition was activated.
If you ask what was he researching as an occult practice.....it was his own thought and self awareness/memory of having stone lift in a signal as huge heavy bodies, above that of natural atomic/nuclear fusion. It involved his own presence on Earth in an origin creation, his own activation of changing natural origin creation/fusion, the witness to stone fusion changing and stone levitating.....and then cause and effect. This is why his secret science an occult review was a secret stone building practice....levitation. His biblical review of changing LEVIS, the light bringer was his own self combustion/brain attack, blood leeching from a holy cell called the murder of spirit JESUS of the CHRIST....via levi...changing of the natural bindings of stone...or a philosophy of stone.
So if you ask, how come the male did not think about the conditions he was reviewing for the levitation of stone and life attack/conversion? Because his own past life died in the same act, as a recording and he had no recording beyond his own life death, yet in the atmosphere stone began to rip off the face of Earth, Earth began to change/disintegrate in the irradiation of the planetary attacks/ planets exploded into huge chunks, disintegrated into dust themselves, Earth nearly did not survive.
His own archaelogical realization of his past, found his bones inside of coal beds and inside of rocks, the same as he found evidence of a past lived Nature - microbes/plant matter inside of the stone also. He thought about a hollow Earth, because Earth was hollowed out by irradiation burning holes in Earth, changing Earth matter into dust, and into sand. Holes liquefied with crystal, atmospheric fallout of water, Earth covered with water, lava formed and saved Earth in the review.
He owns a conscious self review that states that whenever his own consciousness evolves, he regains past life memory and then reapplies his occultist acts and then attacks and destroys life....his own purpose, his own considerations, his own ownership of his families life, his indoctrination of their life and his ownership status of creator/inventor. Yet his own review states inventor/destroyer, converter of natural fusion, natural evolution, natural life and then its destruction by considering to alter evolution itself.
So the story of the UFO states, it has happened before on Earth, as the stories attest, as does the attacks, the physical changes, the spiritual imagery change in our atmospheric sound, only due to converting/changing atmospheric radiated light sound.....a light sound that evolves by cooling/amassing the gases.
The UFO activated only when the holy dust or nuclear dust of Earth is converted for occult use.......conversion itself for self gain and self purpose.
What is the UFO should be asked, and the occult literature states, it comes from out of space...planets/sun release O radiated sound orbs, it comes from out of the tombs of the stone...called the dead spirit. Dead light, dead radiated light sound cooled, fused and holding stone together.
So we then see and witness the manifestation of the UFO body in the atmosphere and also from out of the ground. We see it interacting with the atmosphere, the ground, water in the sea and fresh water....we see it interacting with human and animal's own organic Nature.
To ask is to question what is our organic Nature....but a huge percentage of water.
Why does the UFO interact with water....sucking up water, going into water, witnessed dropping water?
Because nuclear conversion of the atomic.....involving nuclear converting atomic signals or nuclear orbital signals as the UFO constant....an evil held fixed state caused so that uranium and plutonium in natural fusion is attacked to change the fusion to then gain an interaction for fuel creation. The fuel is also burnt. The fuel, not existing as a liquid exists as stone. Stone is changed into a liquid, so the liquid is removed from our atmosphere. We live/exist in the surrounding body of the atmosphere.....and they change the atmosphere and we get attacked.
The atmosphere a cooling/evolving radiated light sound body holds the holiness of water/oxygen, the only body that supports organic life and cell life. Cell life is denatured in receiving an incorrect reactive energy wavelength and the cell gets destroyed, just as demonstrated.
Both acts totally against the natural life continuance on Earth...for we only exist due to the fusion existing itself....as a radiated cooling light sound support of organic life, sound/light/mass that was created a long time after the nuclear condition cooled. Science heated radiation to allow it to convert. We all get attacked due to the condition.
This is because WATER, being supported by HYDROGEN, goes missing from the mass due to the removal of hydrogen as a mass product to produce the liquid fuel. So life loses the production of oxygen and water as a mass support of organic existence. Both conditions by occult review to be holy, why they called the CHRIST, the Holy Ox 1000 against Satan 1000 as a process of regeneration in a natural condition. No changes to either body. Satan a condition of occult review to use the alchemical wisdom. You can know wisdom without using wisdom, which is what the occultist/scientist does. Using the information caused the alchemy supporting our life to denature and then it attacks our life. This is why evil spirit images are involved in the attacks.....due to a denaturing of the natural chemical imagery/radiated light sound.
Occultism concluded all alchemic conditions, called it holy dust ....we call it uranium, and then converted the uranium and got attacked by the nuclear orbital held fixed constant that uses energy, takes and removes energy that life uses....and also in the circumstance removes the holiness of water and oxygen. The ancients used the atmospheric wavelength converted by the UFO to levitate/convert stone.........modern science uses it in power plants, the same condition of the ancient occult practice.
So human life that normally interacts with a natural atmospheric body, without the UFO condition is normally evolving, healing and becoming a better DNA.
So we ask ourselves why are we not all equal...why are we imperfect, when DNA is the same information.
We review that the UFO and irradiating light sound, irradiates by cause and effect. If your life is being incepted and the cells developing, when the UFO signal interacts with the cell life.....as it is forming it mutates. The UFO an introduced scientific condition is therefore involved in the mutation of life...for life does not normally mutate.
As the occultist practice was used in the Pyramid/Temple scheme with underground water tunnels, they knew that this practice was evil....for it caused changes to the human blood/ the human cell condition and also mutated life. Radiated light sound normally cools/evolves and amasses, hence mutations were being healed/converted back into an evolving DNA, and humanity demonstrate that we existed in an evolving DNA. We are now de-evolving and denaturing.
The evidence is keratin...for keratin belongs to the formation of bird feathers. When the UFO irradiation attacks by wavelength interaction the human cell gains the radiation light sound for the forming of animal horns/bird feathers and the Nature of animals is outrightly attacked, losing its own organic radiated interaction.
Human beings spiritual awareness knew that feathers/angelic radiation light sound in cloud formation kept us safe. The UFO nuclear orbital light sound in clouds, is denaturing the atmospheric interaction and human life denatured, and began to grow horns by being irradiated/mutated when the cell information was forming.
It also caused the atmospheric vibration to change in the UFO manifestation and atmospheric vibrating of sound forces manifestation of imagery. Cloud imagery changed and then evil spirit imagery manifested in the converting signals...which is why it also demanifests as a presence.
We knew that cloud imagery should only form angelic beings as imagery....by known circumstance.
Nowadays the cloud imagery also forms UFO ships formations....as they belong to the nuclear atomic orbital signals.
As the UFO radiated light sound changes by interacting between released underground fused nuclear signals....it then burns holes in Earth......and this condition happened only after scientists began studying the artificial chemical reaction of altering natural nuclear sound.....and took the interactive signals away from the nuclear power plants....and it attacked stone, causing sink holes. This proves that they began to study Nature with a wavelength that belonged to the nuclear power plant interaction.
This is why it is evidence that science has caused the sink holes, because before this time nuclear power plants were receiving the wavelengths changed in the atmosphere to cause conversion of uranium and plutonium. The power plants lost the interactive wavelength and it was given to natural stone in the environment, only due to scientific interference.
This is why the UFO forms, converts, interacts and then disappears, for it only belongs to an interactive wavelength condition of the atmosphere gaining the wavelength for conversion and the nuclear power plants.....yet the ancients knowing by Pyramid knowledge that the UFO formed above the pyramid....they were aware that once activated, the atmosphere cannot deal with the signal, and this is how the ancients got nuked by the UFO itself....as the signal takes over by the irradiating planetary/sun reactions.
Once activated Planet Earth is in fact placed into a UFO war of interacting UFO signals, that then begin to destroy/attack Nature.
We know that the ancients knew about it, for they stopped the signals....they filled up the underground tunnels with rubble, that the UFO signal attack stopped and eventually the out of space interaction/Earth released signals faded out. They had to have been attacking cows, just like todays witness, for cows and the attack would have coincided with their own personal life attacks. This is why a cow became reverenced as a God, and cows sacred and holy and their spirit should never be changed.
As the ancients themselves not occultists, would not have known what the occultists knew, they would have only considered taking the action they did, as a prevention of the God radiated light sound attacking them. Cows then would have been considered to be holy and that they considered to never harm the cow, for the evidence stated that if you harm the cow, your own life then gets nuked...as happened in India around 10,000 years ago....along with huge Earth changes around the same time as the archaeology attests.
UFO formation therefore changes the mass of the atmosphere....the Earth atmosphere has thinned.
UFO burns the atmosphere in the interaction to cause fuel gain....and the UFO signal also activated in the burning of the fuel....atmosphere carbonizes...and has.
UFO converts the natural iron metal of stone...and manifests a nuclear metal signal instead converted as part of the unnatural chemical artificial gain......and has. Earth organic blood then changes and we gain metal implants instead of a normal iron bond in our blood and cells....which has happened.
UFO then also changes the magnetic field, that belongs to natural metal ions...due to a converted metal....and the field has moved.
UFO also in the burning of the atmospheric gases BLACK TRIANGLE EFFECT, also causes ICE to melt to then cool the gas...making an artificial result occur. ICE has melted, also adding to the condition of a magnetic field shift....also belonging to a loss of atmospheric mass and pressure.
When you change the pressure systems, then the atmosphere is involved in suck up....for the condition of suck up seen above huge water bodies....sucks water up into the atmosphere.
UFO nuclear signals witnessed coming out of the sea beds. Underground fusion of stone changes forming holes. Holes in stone activates the condition of atmospheric suck up due to a loss of fusion. Our atmosphere still healing from the ancient cause of UFO fusion release is still attacked by caused natural disaster activation. The Bible demonstrates knowledge that human applied occultism caused natural disaster activation, proven in prophecy and future prophecy which occurred.
As both human life and animal life have a huge percentage of water as boy mass....this is why both presences have been involved in being sucked up by the UFO activated signal and also replaced upon the ground as a converted organic body.
Getting sucked up into a nuclear radiated signal...converts the organic body, which gets attacked by the radiation signals. The ancient occult review of being attacked by cutting knives/axes etc, all belong to a CHRIST atmospheric spirit review condition (see the occult symbolism in Hebrew literature). Radiation increases attacks feel like being cut without bleeding, as I gained a personal attack. My feet swelled instead and I could only shuffle afterwards.
Some humans obviously have been lucky that water already existed in the UFO body signal condition and therefore only gained little changes. As the UFO goes up and down to the ground, the phenomena witnessed and experienced has to be real....for there is no other reason for the experience or explanation.
As I was personally irradiated, I know what it is like to have huge brain pain, prickling, to gain instantaneous blood release from a signal of peeling silver seen in the atmosphere at the same time, to be irradiated and to see the manifestation of the burning atmosphere as black smoke form the spiritual images that then disappear.
The filming on Mars certainly corresponds to the conditions of Earth being irradiated by other Planetary releases of nuclear radiated orbitals....their trajectory to Earth, and their interactions, and then their removal in the condition of the conversion of nuclear matter and stone's own natural fusion.
As the UFO is witnessed sucking up water, and an image of a whale's bones on Mars, it is obvious that the animal as the sheep bones, got there from being enclosed inside of a moving orbital signal, until it releases its own interaction or held signal trajectory.
When a human being, whose psyche is the reason why it gained advice to activate the UFO release by occult practices (nuclear power plants the modern day Temple) is advised in the same method of being attacked...by their psyche, by their brain imagery, by their own presence being converted in the signal, NO HUMAN has the right to advise them that they are wrong. As they endured the attack of the signal they are right and the occultist, the evil scientist is wrong.
The scientist, who by occult tradition is part of the occult organization and secrets would give false evidence to the public, seeing the occult organizations own their own science practices.
The UFO is known by us as a human awareness, because we caused the activation of the UFO by knowing how to convert matter.....only by self evidence that a human being was the reason why origin creation was activated originally into an act of conversion, whilst their own human body and cell also converted in the same attack signal in origin creation and first life lived on Earth.
Radiation therefore allowed the human male to be aware of his own cell conversion and also the conversion of crystal/stone in the irradiation at the same time. He gained occultist advice through 2 conditions.....being involved in natural irradiation and also perusing past life memory. As he gained self evidence in past information whilst existing in current information he made a very bad choice to place all life back into an attack on life.....a higher radiation condition.
This awareness should have been considered, for he is only organic, and not stone...and since when does an organic life survive in the irradiation of stone?
The Earth stone might, but human life won't.
The UFO condition is true to occult practice, the attacks real to the condition of water and its changes into an unholy Nature, just for the purpose of having a fuel to burn.
We never needed to have a resource, the resource formed for our occult brother's own invention, caused by his ownership of our life in civilization is the only reasoning that he caused the UFO to manifest. Life continuance is far more important that his gain of a resource and he has his spiritual mind to consider other life conditions that support our spiritual continuance without attacking us.....as resourcing. This nuclear attack is his own choice.
If you ask yourself why a cow could be witnessed levitating in the atmosphere, and in the video see a circular white light pulse in the atmosphere above the cow, is to review occultism itself.
Where occultism came from, why it was used, how it was used and what conditions imply occult itself?
The condition occult belongs to the human male's own witness to conditions in our atmosphere, his own self review that he can invent/create, his own self review that he is all knowing......yet his own cause and effect considerations of occult practice is that it is evil.
As occultism is the beginning of science and its own evolution and status gain in society, we then ask, why was evil allowed to continue, when it was known to cause evil attacks to human and animal life? Science was already quantified as being the evil attack of life and its continuance.
Due to the condition of ownership, status, values, imposed values, the human male's own self egotistical possession and their ancient attack on our family is why science regained a status in civilization. Our ancient family, a loving kind community with communal support simply survive on Earth, the energy in our atmosphere is not enough energy to keep our cell life living.....we do eat and we do drink water to survive. Our ancient brother, a like minded individual in consciousness formed a group who imposed a condition of attacking their family, taking over their family and their natural life condition, imposing fear and also tactics to gain ownership of their family and also a status to infer ownership with cruel social laws.
This is the history of our occult brother, and how he gained the status to overthrow our life with all of his occult values, his occult indoctrination, his self beliefs, his own values, his imposed values of conditions that never had values and how he has always used his own brotherhood to over rule all forms of information, including the truth.
Occultism itself was introduced as a reactive state caused by the presence and purpose of a human male, who likes to invent, who wants to own powers, who uses conversion to alter the natural powers that Nature owns, that then attack our life. This is a self owned male condition, relating to his own review that he is God...for he called God a male, inferred that a male created, and inferred that a male also saved life. Yet he only lived as a human being, the male and had no personal ownership of the natural life condition except his own presence.
The atmosphere, light sound has no male or female consideration, for sound is simply sound, and it is abstract to a owned self. For the atmospheric sound supports all creative acts, from stone, to the atmosphere, to all Nature.
So if you ask where did the concept for the UFO come from, when all information states, from and through the male's own consideration of creative powers, release of the powers, conversion of the powers so that his own human presence could then claim by personal applied technology (using machines/pyramids/temples) to use the powers for his own resourcing. The human male therefore is owner of the UFO activation, knows by his own history that he activated the UFO condition, male evidence, male stories, male consciousness, male use of information of past life memory (atmospheric photonic recordings) how he caused the UFO, what the UFO condition caused by activation and that he was the personal owner/causer of the activation.
Ancient realization of the UFO states, that a human male in a condition called Shamanic practice, took a soma, drugged his mind, used his drugged mind condition to review chemicals and the chemical changes via his mind state and gained brain status to review a past life memory when the UFO condition was activated.
If you ask what was he researching as an occult practice.....it was his own thought and self awareness/memory of having stone lift in a signal as huge heavy bodies, above that of natural atomic/nuclear fusion. It involved his own presence on Earth in an origin creation, his own activation of changing natural origin creation/fusion, the witness to stone fusion changing and stone levitating.....and then cause and effect. This is why his secret science an occult review was a secret stone building practice....levitation. His biblical review of changing LEVIS, the light bringer was his own self combustion/brain attack, blood leeching from a holy cell called the murder of spirit JESUS of the CHRIST....via levi...changing of the natural bindings of stone...or a philosophy of stone.
So if you ask, how come the male did not think about the conditions he was reviewing for the levitation of stone and life attack/conversion? Because his own past life died in the same act, as a recording and he had no recording beyond his own life death, yet in the atmosphere stone began to rip off the face of Earth, Earth began to change/disintegrate in the irradiation of the planetary attacks/ planets exploded into huge chunks, disintegrated into dust themselves, Earth nearly did not survive.
His own archaelogical realization of his past, found his bones inside of coal beds and inside of rocks, the same as he found evidence of a past lived Nature - microbes/plant matter inside of the stone also. He thought about a hollow Earth, because Earth was hollowed out by irradiation burning holes in Earth, changing Earth matter into dust, and into sand. Holes liquefied with crystal, atmospheric fallout of water, Earth covered with water, lava formed and saved Earth in the review.
He owns a conscious self review that states that whenever his own consciousness evolves, he regains past life memory and then reapplies his occultist acts and then attacks and destroys life....his own purpose, his own considerations, his own ownership of his families life, his indoctrination of their life and his ownership status of creator/inventor. Yet his own review states inventor/destroyer, converter of natural fusion, natural evolution, natural life and then its destruction by considering to alter evolution itself.
So the story of the UFO states, it has happened before on Earth, as the stories attest, as does the attacks, the physical changes, the spiritual imagery change in our atmospheric sound, only due to converting/changing atmospheric radiated light sound.....a light sound that evolves by cooling/amassing the gases.
The UFO activated only when the holy dust or nuclear dust of Earth is converted for occult use.......conversion itself for self gain and self purpose.
What is the UFO should be asked, and the occult literature states, it comes from out of space...planets/sun release O radiated sound orbs, it comes from out of the tombs of the stone...called the dead spirit. Dead light, dead radiated light sound cooled, fused and holding stone together.
So we then see and witness the manifestation of the UFO body in the atmosphere and also from out of the ground. We see it interacting with the atmosphere, the ground, water in the sea and fresh water....we see it interacting with human and animal's own organic Nature.
To ask is to question what is our organic Nature....but a huge percentage of water.
Why does the UFO interact with water....sucking up water, going into water, witnessed dropping water?
Because nuclear conversion of the atomic.....involving nuclear converting atomic signals or nuclear orbital signals as the UFO constant....an evil held fixed state caused so that uranium and plutonium in natural fusion is attacked to change the fusion to then gain an interaction for fuel creation. The fuel is also burnt. The fuel, not existing as a liquid exists as stone. Stone is changed into a liquid, so the liquid is removed from our atmosphere. We live/exist in the surrounding body of the atmosphere.....and they change the atmosphere and we get attacked.
The atmosphere a cooling/evolving radiated light sound body holds the holiness of water/oxygen, the only body that supports organic life and cell life. Cell life is denatured in receiving an incorrect reactive energy wavelength and the cell gets destroyed, just as demonstrated.
Both acts totally against the natural life continuance on Earth...for we only exist due to the fusion existing itself....as a radiated cooling light sound support of organic life, sound/light/mass that was created a long time after the nuclear condition cooled. Science heated radiation to allow it to convert. We all get attacked due to the condition.
This is because WATER, being supported by HYDROGEN, goes missing from the mass due to the removal of hydrogen as a mass product to produce the liquid fuel. So life loses the production of oxygen and water as a mass support of organic existence. Both conditions by occult review to be holy, why they called the CHRIST, the Holy Ox 1000 against Satan 1000 as a process of regeneration in a natural condition. No changes to either body. Satan a condition of occult review to use the alchemical wisdom. You can know wisdom without using wisdom, which is what the occultist/scientist does. Using the information caused the alchemy supporting our life to denature and then it attacks our life. This is why evil spirit images are involved in the attacks.....due to a denaturing of the natural chemical imagery/radiated light sound.
Occultism concluded all alchemic conditions, called it holy dust ....we call it uranium, and then converted the uranium and got attacked by the nuclear orbital held fixed constant that uses energy, takes and removes energy that life uses....and also in the circumstance removes the holiness of water and oxygen. The ancients used the atmospheric wavelength converted by the UFO to levitate/convert stone.........modern science uses it in power plants, the same condition of the ancient occult practice.
So human life that normally interacts with a natural atmospheric body, without the UFO condition is normally evolving, healing and becoming a better DNA.
So we ask ourselves why are we not all equal...why are we imperfect, when DNA is the same information.
We review that the UFO and irradiating light sound, irradiates by cause and effect. If your life is being incepted and the cells developing, when the UFO signal interacts with the cell life.....as it is forming it mutates. The UFO an introduced scientific condition is therefore involved in the mutation of life...for life does not normally mutate.
As the occultist practice was used in the Pyramid/Temple scheme with underground water tunnels, they knew that this practice was evil....for it caused changes to the human blood/ the human cell condition and also mutated life. Radiated light sound normally cools/evolves and amasses, hence mutations were being healed/converted back into an evolving DNA, and humanity demonstrate that we existed in an evolving DNA. We are now de-evolving and denaturing.

When the UFO irradiation attacks by wavelength interaction the human cell gains the radiation light sound for the forming of animal horns/bird feathers and the Nature of animals is outrightly attacked, losing its own organic radiated interaction.

It's because that kind of stuff gets featured on the Paracast that I think it's so fabulous, but at the same time I think we need to be careful about drawing the conclusion that the UFO mystery is simply a spinoff from some early sci-fi writer's imaginations. It seems reasonable to believe that people have been seeing strange things in the sky for centuries, perhaps millennia.
Nonetheless Palmer and Shaver clearly tapped into something amazing. And no pun intended.
