Dear Dr.:
I am an astronomer amateur, and I am a studious of the Flying
Saucers, because if they are ships of any other planet, they are directly relationed idth the Astronomy.
I write you this letter because I want to consult you about
some points la reference the last photographies of the planet Mars and
other points very lmportents to as*
About this points, I formulate you the next questions:
1°—In the last Annual Inform of the Oarnegie Institution, they said
that during the maximum approximation of the planet Mars to the Earth,
in the past year, they took 8.100 photographies of planet Mars. Moreover, th* Geographyc National Society of the United States, conjunctly
with the Lowell Observatory, took 20.000 photogtaphles of Jars in
Bloemfonteir, South Afrioa. I want to know this:
a).-In your opinion, the Mars Canals are constructed for intelligent
men, or (as said the astronomers of the Carnegie Institution), though
its real nature is in the mastery, are they difficultly an artificial
structure?
b)—The gigantic "W" photographled in the Mars equator -(its lines
measured 1.100 miles of long and-the bright"'pear-shaped; in the vertoxs,
they have 300 miles in diameter)- can bo one spaoo-station of the Mars
men (as the projected for scientists in the Earth), or (as said the
astronomers of the Carnegie Institution) this "W" is a formationecloud
in the Mars high atmosphere?.. .Is possible a forma tion-oloud of this
extraordinary size, so strange form ana so invariable figure (that
rotate conjunctly with the planet)?...
c).-ln your opinion, Mars could be Inhabited for intelligent men?
d)The planet Venus, could be/ inhabited for intelligent men?
2°.-ln reference to the Flying Saucer that you saw in the summer of
1948, in Las Onuses, New Mexico, I asked you:
a)—In what exaotd* date (day and month) do you saw it?
b).-Do you saw olearly this small windows around its?
