First of au, congratulations to
Art Linkletter on his “People
Are Funny” program presenta
tion of two weeks ago, featur
ing an intelligent and informed
discussion on the subject of uni
dentified flying objects. Inci
dentally, in Edenton many peo
ple have seen the phenomenon
known as angel’s hair. On sev
eral occasions it’s fallen from
the sky and has been seen in
town. It’s a soft, silk-like sub
stance which just about disinte
grates on touch. Here’s some
thing that, perhaps, you didn’t
know about. If you feel in
clined to check the first part of
this, you can do so by writing
to United Press International,
Washington, D. C. The story,
was datelined Cherry Point, N.i
C., and published in many pa
mpers throughout the country.
Date of publication: February
J 2, 1953. On that date, the Ma
rine Corps Air Station had been
alerted for flying saucers. On
that date, a Marine jet pilot
chased the mysterious, glowing
object through the skies at
more than 500 miles per hour.
On that same date, the Norfolk
Naval Air Station tower alerted
Marine Lt. Ed Balocco to watch
for a silvery object sighted from
the ground. When Lt. Balocco
was alerted, he was flying at
20,000 feet over Edenton. Here
is Lt. Balocco’s actual report
“It appeared to be below me.
What caused me to look back at
the light was 'the fact that it
moved from below me 10,000 j
feet vertically in a matter of|
seconds.” Lt. Balocco estimated!
that th£ object was aboutlll0 1
t ) miles from him. That’s the end
of the official report. The ob
ject itself was sighted by sev
eral Edentonians. One very
well known citizen in town told
Sater (and this was verified by
witnesses) that as he watcheu
the object, he thought to him
self: “I wish the darned thing
was closer, so I could get a j
really good look at it.” At thej
precise moment, the object)
hurtled closer. Our friend (I’ll
call him Joe) thought it was
mere coincidence, but decided |
to find out for sure. He di
rected this thought to the my-j
sterious object: hover to the
left, to the right and back to;
the left. The object obeyed hisj
command! Once more, * Job'j
thought: “are you reading myj
mind?” A split second later,

TOWN OF EDENTON
ERNEST J. WARD, JR., Clerk
Joe received a mental answer. 1
“Yes, we can understand you.”
Joe’s next question was obvious.
“Who are you, where are you
from?” The answer, again in
his mind, was that the object,
and people or things tjierein,
were from a quite distant star.
One we knew nothing about.
Joe asked, again mentally, if
they had landed on earth and
the answer was that a few oth
er of the objects had, but they
had no*. However, they were
able to read people’s minds, the
explanation continued mentally,
and if conditions permitted,
were allowed to tend briefly.
“Would you do so here in Eden
ton, if I told you of open land?”
Again, the answer came back
mentally. They knew the ter
rain and would land briefly
provided 1 they were permitted.”
That last thought was neve
quite clear, but nothing more
was said. \ Joe was told where
the object would land. It
would land in just a matter of
minutes, biit in less time than
it takes tot tell, Joe was on the
phone, calling a friend of his,
another well known Edentoniah,
to join him immediately. To
gether, the two of them met the
object, whirih had already land
ed, not too far from Joe’s home.
As it was reported, the occu
pants of the flying object met
Joe and his friend and spoke
briefly just a matter of minutes.
Joe cannot divulge, thus we
cannot fell, anything concerning
the conversations. All be could
say was that the occupants of
the object looked like any hu
man being, although slightly
taller. Their clothes were far
different from anything known
jon earth and looked to be a
outfit. Incidentally, it
| was further reported, that these
I people had no difficulty with|
the atmosphere. It is supposed
that this is a result of pre-con
ditioning. As I mentioned, the
topic of conversations has to re
main hush-hush, and neither I,
nor anyone else could pry a
thing out of Joe or his friend.
One more thing. Lest anyone
doubt the veracity of this affair,
' remember the actual reported
sighting by people at Cherry
Point and at the Norfolk Naval
Air Station. Keep in mind,
| that on that night (it was a
| Monday) a preponderance of an
gel’s hair floated down (many
1 citizens will verify that). Keep
iin mind, too, that as proof of
•a strange object landing, in our
I town, some military men and l
I I befievt, tHe lock! politfef werf

I friend. They were amazed to!

see the spot where the Object
was, completely burned out.
Finally, as a souvenir, the
“visitors” gave Joe and his
friend a piece of metal, which
after exhaustive tests in the
best known laboratories of the
land, was proven to be, as one
laboratory labeled it: “definitely
not of this earth.” Our sincere
thanks to the gentleman we’re
referring to as “Joe,” for tell
ing us what he could of this
story, the first time he’s talked
about it, since February of 1953,
the time of the sighting.
Portions of the preceding are
■true! The entire story is based
on actual reports in various
parts of the country.
Closing thought: The person
who thinks there can be any
real conflict between science and
religion must beither very
young in science or very ignor
ant in religion.

Cotton quality and mechanical
harvesting will share the spot
light at a day-long short course
for farmers, gin operators and
picker operators on August 2, at

cotton harvesters and hear their
operation explained by repre
sentatives from the manufactur

ASC Office Manager
Emphasizes Storage
“Experience has shown farm
ers that price support programs!
are offered primarily on the
availability of storage,” says H.
O. West, local ASC office mana
ger. “In order to get a price I
support loan of any kind ade
quate storage must be provided.
The Department, through ASC,
has offered loans to assist in the
■construction of adequate on-the
farm storage. These loans pay
up to 80 per cent of the unerect
ed cost, provided the type of
construction is approved by the
county ASC Committee. Loans
of this type average about 30
cents per bushel of storage capa-J
city of the facility.
“A producer files a request for
a facility .storage loan at the
county ASC office and if ap
proved, he* constructs the stor
age facility ; to meet specified
construction, pays off the ven
dor with h»s 'loan and uses the
facility to store own grain. He
may store either with or with
out a commodity loan. For this
service he pays a small service
fee of 1 percent of the amount
of loan and repays his loan in
four annual installments at 4 %
interest. His first installment
comes due on the anniversary
date of the loan or 12 months
after disbursement. Under a
loan of this kind, he may also
include any- attachments neces
sary for operation of the facility.
“Since harvesting time is
drawing near there is not much
'time left. Why not be ready
for harvest this year with plen
ty of storage, Contact your ASC
office for further details.”
