Flying Saucers

SIR,—Sir Harold Spencer Jones's review of our book The Riddle of the Flying Saucers by Gerald Heard may well satisfy your scientific readers, but those who have merely seen the objects which he denies may like to refer to Robert Waithman's excellent article on the subject which appeared in your issue of April 14th, 1950. Mr. Waithman, it should • be mentioned, reached conclusions exactly, opposed to those of your present reviewer. If any of your readers would like their credulity still further stretched—on the most reliable of evidence—they are advise to read any of *It Nooks of that neglected genius, Charles Fort. An omnibus of his Works was published in New York in 1941, and one o the constituent volumes, Lo!, appeared in an English edition in 1931 published by Messrs. ,Victor `Gollancz. Saucer sceptics and believern cannot claim to be informed on the subject until they have studied Fort and his remarkable collection of anomalia.—Yours, etc.,

WAVENEY GIRVSN.
