Buffington Studios GRAY BARKER (continued from front flap) behind-the-scenes chronicle of civilian saucer research. It is an immensely readable book. We suggest you do not pick it up if you have work to do, for you will be unable to put it down until you reach the amazing climax. Mr. Barker tells the story in such a straightforward and documentary manner that the reader's first mo- ment of incredulity will give way to conviction as he is acquainted, page-by-page, with the terrifying in- side facts. A. six-footer, handsome, and with a warm, in- fectious laugh, Mr. Barker retains in his voice just a trace of the accent of the West Virginia farming country where he grew up, somewhat belying the rich and varied career he has crammed into his thirty years. He has been head of an English department in a Maryland school system, an audio-visual education consultant for a large school supplier, theatre man- ager and motion picture projection technician. Begun as a hobby, saucer research has taken more and more of his time as he has realized the stark reality behind the mystery. Finding time for his literary career between details of operating his business, he publishes The Sancerian, a flying saucer periodical, and contributes to educa- tional journals and motion picture technical magazines.
