        Who will Repeat Admiral Byrd's historic Flight for 1,700 
        Miles beyond the North Pole and that of his Expedition for 
        2,300 Miles beyond the South Pole, entering a New Unknown 
        Territory not shown on any map, covering an immense land 
        area whose total size is larger than North America, 
        consisting of forests, mountains, lakes, vegetation and 
        animal life.

        The aviator who will be the first to reach this New 
        Territory, unknown until Admiral Byrd first discovered it, 
        will go down in history as a New Columbus and greater than 
        Columbus, for while Columbus discovered a new continent, 
        he will discover a New World.

                           PUBLISHER'S FOREWORD

   Statements in this publication are recitals of scientific findings, 
known facts of physiology and references to ancient writings as they are 
found.

   There are numerous authorities who have stated that flying saucers and 
other strange phenomena exist which scientists will not, or dare not admit. 
Few in the U.S. dare to state the whole truth and nothing but the truth 
about any subject (even if he knew the truth). This is especially true of 
the `educated' scientist and men high and mighty. Governments would 
topple - money and credit would vanish. There would be utter chaos and 
high-ranking individuals would be ruined socially and economically.
    
   Truth is such a rare quality, a stranger so seldom met in this 
civilization of fraud, that it is never received freely, but must fight 
its way into the world. There is not a public school which teaches the 
truth about Religion, Health, the Money-System, Politics of How to Buy 
and Sell etc.

   We assume no responsibility for any opinions expressed (or implied) by 
the author. We have no authority to comment upon the opinions of the 
author. Books and folios are sold to be accepted or rejected, and the 
purpose of these writings is to dissipate darkness and to stir the minds 
of the people. Those who run may read - there are thousands of books 
which are far more enlightening than the `spoon-fed' news from the daily 
scandal sheet.

   In November 1957, a world famous physician and scientist died in a 
U.S. federal penitentiary where he had been imprisoned for resisting an 
unlawful injunction designed to stop his vital research, steal his 
discoveries, and kill the discoverer. That man was Wilhelm Reich, M.D. 
This was the culmination of more than 10 years of harassment and 
persecution at the hands of carefully concealed conspirators who used 
U.S. Federal Agencies and Courts to defraud the people of this earth 
and prevent them from knowing and utilizing crucial discoveries in 
physics, medicine, and sociology which could help bring about happiness 
and peace for all mankind which good men and women everywhere seek and 
work towards.

   His "device" mentioned (in the injunction) was his "orgone energy 
accumulator", an invention of his which was hailed by the late Theodore 
P. Wolfe, M.D., as the greatest single discovery in the history of 
medicine." The FDA completely evaded and avoided and banned (and burned) 
the published and documented verification of scores of reputable 
physicians and scientists THROUGHOUT THE WORLD, who duplicated, verified 
and published corroboration of the discoveries of Wilhelm Reich. These 
books claimed no cures of any kind. FDA said they constituted labeling 
(misbranding or mislabeling). His public experimental findings were 
revolutionary. They threatened at once, the existing commercial 
interests, especially the Drug Industry, the Power Companies, etc. 
The squeeze was on to kill this discovery, kill it dead: - just as 
Krebiozen and other cancer cures have been killed. 

   Therefore, we will not enter into any correspondence regarding this 
book - nor the author. Whether you accept or reject the contents of this 
book is your privilege. No one cares. If it awakens a responsive cord - 
then we have other books which may open new knowledge for you (not 
taught in public schools nor through the public mediums).

                    UFOs and GOVERNMENTAL SECRECY

   Recently Frank Edwards, courageously outspoken radio and television 
commentator, was quoted as saying: "Orders of secrecy (re UFOs) come 
from the top. The Air Force is simply the `fall guy.'"

   Edwards, an outstanding pioneer in the field of Ufology, has long 
carried on a crusade to expose official censorship and the withholding 
of facts relating to UFOs from the public. As a friend and acquaintance 
of Edwards for many years, I feel that he knows whereof he speaks; and 
I concur with the above-expressed opinion.

   Recent revelations from various sources have served to substantially 
confirm his conclusion. It is with this thought in mind that the facts 
have been brought together for the reader's information and 
consideration.

    For years many UFO investigators have felt that the Air Force was 
in possession of facts relating to UFOs which they were withholding from 
the public for reasons known only to themselves. Various opinions to 
this effect have appeared in print in recent years. A few of the most 
authoritative are quoted below.

   In 1958, Bulkley Griffin, of the New Bedford, Mass. Standard-Times 
Washington bureau, wrote an excellent series of articles for that paper, 
one of which was entitled: "Pentagon's Censorship on UFOs is Effective." 
The following is a quotation from that article:

    "It has been asked what right has a military organization to 
    monopolize control of the UFO situation and seriously interfere 
    with the public's knowledge regarding it.

    To this the Air Force has its own answer. Regulation 200-2 starts: 
    `The Air Force investigation and analysis of UFOs over the United 
    States are directly related to its responsibility for the defense 
    of the United States.' Later (in 200-2) the UFOs are listed as a 
    `possible threat to the security of the United States.'

    But why the broad and persistent Air Force secrecy on UFOs? This 
    essential question lacks a definite answer. The CIA, to an unknown 
    extent, and the FBI, in individual cases, have taken an interest in 
    the situation. Neither outfit is famed for unloading facts upon the 
    public. The National Security Council operates in like fashion.

    The staff of the Senate Permanent Subcommittee on Investigations has 
    done some study on the UFO-Air Force matter, and has decided not to 
    investigate, and to hold no hearings open or closed. This is a 
    victory for the Air Force, which is earnestly and discretely 
    fighting any Congressional probe."

    Late in 1958 another equally fine series of articles, by John Lester, 
appeared in the Newark Star Ledger. The following is a pertinent excerpt:
    
    "A news story revealing that government personnel are tracking 
    mysterious objects was hailed yesterday as `one of the most important 
    developments in the flying saucer problem.'

    Major Donald E. Keyhoe, Chairman of the National Investigations 
    Committee on Aerial Phenomena, said: `The newspaper's disclosures 
    confirmed publicly what has been known to our investigations 
    committee, i. e., that many highly qualified observers know that 
    flying saucers are real and under intelligent control.'

    Keyhoe, a retired Marine officer, added that `this revelation by 
    the  Star-Beacon should help to bring down official censorship, 
    which is keeping the truth from the public.'

    Behind the scenes, the Air Force and the Central Intelligence 
    Agency are withholding the facts until they decide what to tell 
    the American people.

    One conclusion by a high Air Force intelligence agent is that 
    the unidentified flying objects are interplanetary vehicles."

    
   An item entitled "News Management" appeared in the January-February 
1963 issue of Keyhoe's "UFO Investigator." In it, reference is made to 
a statement by Congressman John E. Moss, Chairman of the House 
Subcommittee on Government Information. This statement appeared in the 
Washington-World, in which Moss said:

    "Tighter controls are being used for greater manipulation of 
    information on the Department of Defense level....Information 
    officers of the various services may be relegated to the status  
    of a ventriloquist's dummy. The public does not have to prove 
    its right to know."

    Congressman Moss has told NICAP that his Committee is authorized 
to examine evidence showing the withholding of specific UFO reports or 
documents, though it is not empowered to investigate the general issue 
of UFO censorship.

   Major Keyhoe, it may be added, has steadfastly adhered to the belief 
that flying saucers are real, prior to and following his first published 
article on the subject in the January 1950 issue of True Magazine.

   Reference has been made to the CIA playing a role in the UFO secrecy 
picture. Further evidence of this fact is contained in a paragraph of 
the book "Inside Saucer Post 3-0 Blue," by Leonard H. Stringfield, 
formerly a well-known UFO investigator of Cincinnati, Ohio. On Page 42 
of his book, Stringfield has this to say:

   "The statement itself came from Mr. A. D., of a certain top agency 
in Washington. Said A. D.: `Yes, I did have a case for Federal Court. 
However, by use of the injunction, if necessary, he would prevent anyone 
from testifying in court concerning this book, because maximum security
exists concerning the subject of the UFOs. My attorney therefore 
suggested we drop the case.... Air Force saucer files, therefore, are
.....under the lock and key of `maximum security.'"

   Several years after the publication of his book, Stringfield confirmed 
that the Mr. A. D. referred to was Allan Dulles, former director of the 
CIA. Stringfield's experience served to illustrate the serious interest 
which this agency has in the UFO matter.

    At one time, along with many others, it was my opinion that it was 
the Air Force who were withholding the true facts about the UFOs. However, 
as a result of later developments, I no longer adhere to that conviction. 
One of the principal factors in my change of opinion was a conversation 
with the late Wilbert B. Smith, approximately two years before he passed 
away. During the course of this conversation, I asked Mr. Smith whether 
it was the Air Force or some other department of government that was 
keeping UFO information from the public. Mr. Smith replied that it was 
not the Air Force but "a small group very high up in the government."
Upon further questioning, Mr. Smith refused to identify the group to which 
he had reference, and quickly led the conversation into other channels.

   It was not until publication of the book "The Invisible Government" in 
May, 1964, that the apparent key to this mystery was at last provided. The 
book states:

    "The Special Group was created early in the Eisenhower years under 
    the secret order 54/12. It was known in the innermost circle of the 
    Eisenhower Administration as the "54/12 Group'' and is still so 
    called by a few insiders. It has operated for a decade as the 
    hidden power of the Invisible Government.....The Special Group has
    operated in an atmosphere of secrecy exceeding that of any other 
    branch of the United States Government.... CIA men generally have 
    the Special Group in mind when they insist that their agency has 
    never set policy, but has only acted on `higher authority.'"

    Newsweek of June 22nd, 1964, carried a review of "The Invisible 
Government" which stated: "One of their major revelations is the existence 
of the Special Group `54/12,' a hitherto Classified adjunct of the National 
Security Council, specifically charged by the President with ruling on 
special operations. Practically speaking, there are no higher-level 
figures imaginable than the composition of '54/12.' Names of members of 
the Group follow at this point.

    Was the "54/12 Group" the "small group very high up in Government" 
to which Wilbert Smith had reference? In view of the preceding facts, it 
would seem that the logical answer to this question could very well be 
in the affirmative: And, if this assumption is correct, it could provide 
the answer as to why all attempts to date to obtain open hearings on 
the UFO matter have met with failure.

   Whether the just-published volume "The UFO Evidence," - NICAP's Six 
Year Report on factual evidence, - can be the key that will unlock the 
door to open Congressional hearings on the UFO problem, remains an 
unanswerable question. One can only hope that it will, and that as a 
result, the public will eventually realize their inalienable right to  
know the truth about the UFOs. Or can a top-flight "Special Group" 
thwart their efforts? Only time will tell.

                      WHAT THIS BOOK SEEKS TO PROVE

    
    1.  That the Earth is hollow and is not a solid sphere as commonly 
supposed, and that its hollow interior communicates with the surface by 
two polar openings.

    2.  That the observations and discoveries of Rear Admiral Richard 
E. Byrd of the United States Navy, who was the first to enter into the 
polar openings, which he did for a total distance of 4,000 miles in 
the Arctic and Antarctic, confirm the correctness of our revolutionary 
theory of the Earth's structure, as do the observations of other Arctic 
explorers.

    3.  That, according to our geographical theory of the Earth being 
concave, rather than convex, at the Poles, where it opens into its 
hollow interior, the North and South Poles have never been reached 
because they do not exist.

    4.  That the exploration of the unknown New World that exists in 
the interior of the Earth is much more important than the exploration 
of outer space; and the aerial expeditions of Admiral Byrd show how 
such exploration may be conducted.

    5.  That the nation whose explorers first reach this New World in 
the hollow interior of the Earth, which has a land area greater than 
that of the Earth's surface, which may be done by retracing Admiral 
Byrd's flights beyond the hypothetical North and South Poles, into 
the Arctic and Antarctic polar openings, will become the greatest 
nation in the world.

    6.  That there is no reason why the hollow interior of the earth, 
which has a warmer climate than on the surface, should not be the home 
of plant, animal and human life; and if so, it is very possible that 
the mysterious flying saucers come from an advanced civilization in 
the hollow interior of the earth.

    7.  That, in event of a nuclear world war, the hollow interior of 
the earth will permit the continuance of human life after radioactive 
fallout exterminates all life on the Earth's surface; and will provide 
an ideal refuge for the evacuation of survivors of the catastrophe, so 
that the human race may not be completely destroyed, but may continue.

                                FOREWORD

    It is the purpose of this book to present scientific evidence to 
prove that the Earth, rather than being a solid sphere with a fiery 
center of molten metal, as generally supposed, is really hollow, with 
openings at its poles. Also, in its hollow interior exists an advanced 
civilization which is the creator of the flying saucers.

   The theory of a hollow earth was first worked out by an American 
writer, William Reed, in 1906, and later extended by another American, 
Marshall B. Gardner, in 1920. In 1959, F. Amadeo Giannini wrote the 
first book on the subject since Gardner's, and in the same year, 
Ray Palmer, editor of "Flying Saucers" magazine, applied the theory 
to provide a logical explanation for the origin of the flying saucers.

   The theories of Reed and Gardner found confirmation in the Arctic 
and Antarctic expeditions of Rear Admiral Richard E. Byrd in 1947 and 
1956 respectively, which penetrated for 1,700 miles beyond the North 
Pole and 2,300 miles beyond the South Pole, into new unknown, iceless 
territory not recorded on a map, extending inside the polar depressions 
and openings that lead to the hollow interior of the Earth. The true 
significance of Admiral Byrd's great discoveries was hushed up soon 
after he sent his radio report from his plane, and was not given the 
attention it deserves until Giannini and Palmer publicized the matter. 

   We shall explain below the reason why this information was not 
permitted to reach the public, though it concerns with one of the 
greatest geographical discoveries in history, far greater than 
Columbus's discovery of America, for while Columbus discovered a new 
continent, Byrd discovered a New World with a land area equal or 
greater to that of the entire land surface of the Earth.

   Admiral Byrd's discovery is today a leading international top secret, 
and it has been so since it was first made in 1947. After Byrd made his 
radio announcement from his plane and after a brief press notice, all 
subsequent news on the subject was carefully suppressed by government 
agencies. There was an important reason for this. Before he left on his 
seven hour flight from his Arctic base over iceless land beyond the 
North Pole (leading to the interior of the Earth), Admiral Byrd said:  
"I would like to see that land beyond the Pole. That area beyond the 
Pole is the center of the Great Unknown."

   Admiral Byrd did not cross over the North Pole and travel 1,700 miles 
south on its other side. If he did, he would enter icebound territory. 
Instead he entered a land with a warmer climate, free from ice and snow, 
consisting of forests, mountains, lakes, green vegetation and animal 
life. This new unknown land over which he flew for 1,700 miles, which 
was not on any map, existed inside the polar opening leading to the 
hollow interior of the Earth, where it is warmer than on its outside,
which is here a land of ice and snow.

   Why then did not the United States send new air expeditions to the 
land discovered by Admiral Byrd, in an effort to fully explore it and 
determine its extent? Why was such an important discovery completely 
forgotten? It is like Columbus discovering America and then nothing 
further being done about it and no subsequent trips of exploration to 
the Western continent made by Europeans. Why the apathy?    

   The explanation is evident. If Admiral Byrd made such a momentous 
discovery, undoubtedly the greatest one in history, of anew unknown 
land area of undetermined extent, over which his expedition flew for a 
total of 4,000 miles at each pole, and which area is probably as wide 
as it is long and, since Byrd turned back before reaching its end, is 
probably much larger than an area 4,000 miles square, then it would be 
in the interest of the U.S. Government to keep this discovery secret, 
so that other nations do not learn about it and claim this territory 
for themselves.

   It seems that news of Admiral Byrd's great discovery did not reach 
the Soviet Union, or else the Soviet Union knows about this new land 
area not contained on any map, but has adopted the same policy of 
silence and secrecy.

   If the Soviet Union knew about the discovery it would surely send 
fleets of atomic-powered submarines, icebreakers and airplanes into 
this unknown territory beyond the Pole and be the first to explore it 
and claim it for its own. To prevent this was probably the reason why 
the news about Admiral Byrd's great discovery was hushed and suppressed  
ever since it was first released. However, since the secret has already 
been released and broadcast by Giannini, Palmer and others, and is 
public knowledge, it can no longer properly be called a secret.

   It is hoped that a serious expedition will be made by a neutralist, 
peace-loving nation like Brazil into this New World beyond the Poles 
and establish contact with the advanced civilization that exists there, 
whose flying saucers are evidence of their superiority over us in 
scientific development. Perhaps this elder wiser race may save us from 
our doom, preventing a future nuclear war and enable us to establish a 
New Age on earth, an age of permanent peace, with all nuclear weapons
outlawed and destroyed ...
