“Güero ” is probably more dignified than “Gringo con nalgas hueras.”

Straight tequila is my favorite drink, BTW. I like Penca Azul and a couple of others…

Mac is one of the few people in the field who make think “I wish I’d said that!”

Nick, you left out that he is a pretty good artist too.

Recently, I acquired a box of old UFO magazines. Multiple issues of Flying Saucer Review, Flying Saucers, Flying Saucers: UFO Reports, etc., were included much to my unrestrained glee.

I find them utterly fascinating. The letters, in particular, give insight into ufological history and, sometimes, in the case of Ray palmer’s mags, good old fashioned American heartland wackiness.

For instance, in the 4th issue of Flying Saucers:UFO Reports, published by Dell in 1967, I found a very strange letter from John Keel. I’m assuming it’s tongue in cheekily written, but still, it is quite odd.

In it, he says this :

“It is time that we discarded all of the half-baked, uneducated speculation and got down to the basic facts. The unidentified flying objects should be recognized for what they really are: unlicensed aerial vehicles (UAVs). They are violating our airspace without proper authorization and have shown complete disregard for our aircraft zoning regulations. These are criminal acts and as such they deserve an all-out investigation by both the USAF and FAA.
We cannot prove that they are from another planet, or that they are constructed by an alien race with superior technology. But we can prove they are constantly breaking our laws. This should, therefore, be recognized as a legal problem as well as a scientific one. We have agencies which are financed by our taxes to investigate and cope with such blatant violations of our laws. These agencies should be forced to investigate the “problem.”

It appears that his plea fell on deaf ears.

The issue also contains 2 articles by Mr. Keel. One concerns UFOs seen by astronauts in space and another, quite curiously, asks the eternal question, “Are UFOS Using The Earth For A Garbage Dump.”

I bet you’d love to know the answer.

Thanks for some good reads by the way.

That’s because you didn’t drink enough Tequila. You gotta work the tanning from the inside out, güero!
