Graham reads, Darren Interrupts.  http://themothman.wikia.com/wiki/John_Keel   Keels speech to the Congress of scientific ufologists, NYC 1967   I’m sorry but this award and the Plaque you have given me really threw me off the track. This is a complete surprise to me, nonetheless, I have a very sensational speech. I’m going to tell you where the flying saucers come from and I'm going to tell you all the secrets of the saucers. I have been chasing these things for over a year. I've traveled in some 20 states, and talked to thousands of people who have seen these things and I have seen quite a few of them myself. One of them came down very close to the car I was in and scared the living daylights out of me on the night of April 3, down in West Virginia.   I spent a lot of time down there as some of you know chasing the Moth man, buuuut. never caught him. We may do a tv series on the Moth Man. I started out a year ago to apply the so-called scientific method to saucer sightings. I started checking out reports from all over the country. I ended up with 10,000 reports from the year 1966. I have tried and I am still trying to sort these into categories. The times that the objects were seen, the kind of objects seen, the type of witness and so on, in the hope that this information will give us some clue as to what they are.    Buuttt as I plunge deeper into this mystery I discovered that the flying saucers are not the mystery. The mystery is something else. The mystery is more in what we call contactees and ufo landings. I think these objects are doing some things here stealthily at the low level all over the country, all over the world and that they are doing them constantly. I would like to read to you a typical contactee story, from the daily tex arcananian of Tex Arcana Arkansas.    The date is April 25,  it says that on Friday night, one Judge Lawrence Burn who was a distinguished man for his honesty among the community was driving along the bayou, outside of Tex Arcana. He saw what he described as a large aluminum disk on the ground. He went over to this things and there were three people there and he talked with them… or tried to talk with him.    They couldn't understand him and he could not understand them. They were speaking in some kind of strange foreign language, they were slight in stature and they had oriental eyes, dark skin, and high cheekbones. He thought they were Japanese, even though he could not talk with him, they took him aboard this machine and allowed him to examine it. They gave him a guided tour through the machine and when they let him out the thing took off and flew away. Now, there is nothing too remarkable about this story because we have been hearing them all the time for the last 20 years.   But this story is dated April 25, 1897. It is but one of the hundreds of contact stories from 1897, and they all fall into the same category. It has only been in the last year that researchers around the country and around the world have begun to go back to old newspapers to try to find out what these dirigible shaped objects were. There were no dirigible’s then. A few years later Count Von Zeppelin came along with his Zeppelin.  The experiments with lighter than aircraft up until that time had been very unfortunate. They crashed or they weren't about 20 miles and blew up. So, you all have heard of these famous sightings, and we have all kinds of contact stories. Many of them compare favorably with each other even though they were not widely circulated at the time. The majority of contact stories describe the pilots as being normal looking people.    The judge said he thought he ran into some Japanese people, but the majority of them had been described as being normal looking people who could speak English very well. At least in the united state's reports. There is a mysterious woman described in several of these. In fact, in a series of accounts ranging from Texas Arkansas, and into California we have 3 passenge
