ancestor coming from the stars (the Cara-Mayas), it could well mean that the "Bearers of the Ancient Knowledge" came from the stars to Earth, just as all of us must one day carry our own knowledge to other worlds when Earth can no longer support us.

Where can I see the papers of Charles Fort? Here's one item to add to the collection. When I was seventeen I built myself a four-inch Newtonian telescope. In examining the moon one night I distinctly saw five symmetrical bodies travel slowly in formation across the moon's disc, as though they were gigantic bodies traveling closer to the moon than to the Earth. My wife laughingly accuses me now of having mistaken flies on my mirror for space ships, but if she knew more about optical laws she would know that flies on my mirror would have been far more invisible to me than if she had put them in my soup.

Another time I was walking down the street one night in Los Angeles when I heard a hissing sound above me. I looked up to see a trail of red fire and sparks spread rather slowly from one horizon to the other, all the while accompanied by a low hissing and sputtering sound. I am glad that in the Oklahoma case there were witnesses! I had none, or at least we didn't get together. Evidently everybody thought what I saw was a meteor. But what meteor is it that can travel slowly from horizon to horizon, have a red color instead of incandescent white, sputter, throw sparks, and hiss at you?

BACK COPIES OF SHAVER!

Sirs:
I have seen your statement in the April issue of Amazing Stories concerning Shaver's mystery.

I have just been discharged from a hospital after a long illness which was caused by a heart attack, and I am still under a doctor's care. According to the doctor, I am not supposed to do any hard work, therefore I have plenty of time on my hands. I know of a lot of second-hand book stores where I can get all the back issues of the Shaver Mysteries. Therefore, with your permission, I would like to put this ad into your magazine. As follows:

Attention Shaver Mystery Fans!

Anyone who would like to get a back copy of Shaver's Mysteries please write to:
