Head Saucerer Believes Martians Are Watching Us Who's in All Those Saucers? By Harold Scarlett Was Jesus Christ a Martian? “It’s hard to say,” said Gabriel Green thoughtfully. Then he added that it certainly seems plausible. It's no trick at all to walk on water or ascend to the heavens if you have a Martian levitation belt around your waist and an anti-gravity beam to ride, Green explained. Furthermore, he said, the Martians now visiting earth on flying saucers are trying to save earth's people from their own follies — just as the Savior was. Green can speak with some au- thority on these matters because, he says, he met and tafKed with a Martian once. Also a four-foot man from the Alpha Centauri star system. Also some Other unearthly visitors. SOMETIMES, HE said, he met these flying saucer crewmen by telepathic, appointments. These were arranged through associates of his with tele- pathic talents. “And once in a while,” he said, “they would just call on the phone.” Green, who lives in Los Angeles, is the head saucerer — the president — of the Amalgamated Flying Saucer Clubs of America. Not being too telepathic, we just called Green on the phone to interview him about the recent rash of flying saucer sightings around the country. “It is a continuation of their efforts to enlighten us,” Green replied in calm and cultured tones. “The current series of sightings and landings, I understand, will increase. They are not going to go away, as some members of our government would like.” WHY DO THEY keep buzzing down here and scaring people? “What with nuclear proliferation growing, it seems rather obvious that unless we start resolving the present problems facing mankind, we will destroy ourselves and perhaps some of the universe along with us,” Green ex- plained. “This is one of the primary reasons why the extra-terrestrials started mak- ing visitations in 1947, shortly after we developed this ability — to watch over us and if possible to impart their ad- solve these problems before we destroy ourselves.” Green said he is trying to do his humble best to help them spread that message. “The solutions they have given,” he said, “dea) primarily with resolving the motives for wars, expansionism and poverty. They hope to eliminate the have-not nations . . . through superior financing. They have an advanced eco- nomic system they call Universal Economics. The economics part of it is what I personally am trying to trans- HE SAID RUEFULLY, however, that the saucer clubs themselves are in an economic pinch that has prevented needed research. Green said he runs the saucer clubs out of his own home, at 2004 North Hoover in Los Angeles, “to cut down on the overhead.” He said there are clubs in 50 major US. cities and abroad, with a total of about 3,500 members. Houston has no club, he said, but he does have some interested Hous- tonians on his mailing list. “We are a contact-oriented research group,” he said, “meaning that many of our members have made actual vanced scientific, technological and sociological knowledge to help us re- 4-12-66 “Parking between my ball and the green—I'd hardly call From B. C., the Post, May 9, 1966 physical contact with crews of these craft.” Green said he has sighted 85 to 100 spacecraft around Los Angeles over the years and has met “half a dozen or so members of the crews.” BUT GREEN BELITTLED his own experiences. “They're so insignificant it's hardly worth talking about them,” he said. “Some of our members have actually been taken for rides in spacecraft. “I certainly wouldn't turn down a ride if it were offered me. But they've never asked me.” Green sald he met the Martian by appointment at a friend’s home, and he looked “just like anybody you’d meet on the street.” He was casually dressed, Green said, and wore a short- sleeve, shimmery, metallic-looking shirt which he said would stop bullets. All in all, a handsome chap, Green said. “I felt his hair and it was quite coarse and worn in a V-shape down to- ward the center of the forehead,” Green said. “But I rather doubt all Martians wear their hair alike, any more than we do. “HE SAID THE MARTIAN canals SAUCER OR STRAW HAT, THIS FLEW IN CALIFORNIA LAST AUG Highway Patrolman Rej Heflin Photographed It Through His Car Windshield PAGE i—SPOTLIGHT THE PHILADELPHIA INQUIRER, MONDAY MORNING, APRIL 18.

Most of the reports of them are that they are normal height or larger,” Green said. “There was that space ship that landed near Albuquerque, for instance, with a crew of four men and five wom- en. They were very beautiful, very well proportioned. Seven to nine feet tall.” Green said he had met other inter- stellar travelers but would “rather go into the whole list.” Where did they park their space ships while they were visiting him? “OH, SOMETIMES they actually park them hang them up in the sky with a force field around them. Then they have an anti-gravity beam and levitation belts they wear around the on down to earth. “Through these, they can accom- plish such miracles as walking on water and ascending into the heavens.” Green said he is 41 and was a photographer with the Los Angeles Board of Education until he resigned in 1959 to try to help the spacemen save civilization. Green said naturally he asked to take the spacemen’s picture, but they refused and he abided by their wishes. “An associate of mine once tried to sneak a couple of flash pictures,” he said, “but two times the flash gun wouldn't fire, even though the camera was in perfect working condition. “THAT DEMONSTRATES the pow- ers of the mind of these people.

Then how could he be sure they weren't a hoax practical - joking hlings just putting him on? “Oh, I wouldn't believe just anyone who walked up to me and said he was from Mars,” Green replied. “But if you get a call from the White House and were told President Eisen- hower would meet you at a certain time on the corner of Hollywood and Vine, and you went there, and a man there looked like the President called you by name, wouldn't you be- lieve he was Eisenhower? on ‘My Favorite who n said he once asked a spaceling to prove himself by disappearing “BUT HE REFUSED and told me to walk away,” Green said. “He was on a five floors high, and I walked nallway for “ turned and k gone. for him to go from Green believes the spacemen a doubtedly friendly t p to be, or otherwise destroyed the earth “They from us but our friendship,” he said. “They would never destroy us.

Green said people from many planets are visiting earth, and that accounts for the wide variety of flying Saucers being sighted. One of his favorites is the Venusian scout ship. That's the one about 50 feet in diameter with the three protruding semi-spheres on the bottom and the portholes around the cabin Green said it is operational only within 5,000 to 10,000 miles of a planet's surface.
