<strong>CHAPTER</strong> 4 117<br />
One time, Mrs. Koblich was outside in her yard feeding her cats when a beam came from above and caught<br />
her in its three-foot wide path. There was nothing in the sky at the time--nothing but the beam of white light.<br />
This is another case of "projection" and since this area is close to two major fault lines a survey is being<br />
conducted there, also.<br />
Warren, Ohio is also in the area of two major fault lines and many unexplained things have been going on<br />
there. Many Saucers have been observed in the general area and have been reported by civilian and Air Force<br />
pilots. Saucers have landed and their occupants observed by several individuals.<br />
Many months ago, information was received that Martian scientists were planning to improve the condition of<br />
Earth's soil by impregnating it with certain highly-concentrated, organic material. When this program would<br />
be put into effect, and how, no one knew.<br />
February, 1954, saw the actual beginning of the new project. On February 4th, Mayor Ray Logan of Galena,<br />
Illinois said he was flooded with calls from persons who claimed they saw a long, brilliant red "telephone<br />
pole" fly over Galena a few nights before. The Mayor said it was only a typical Saturday night in Galena,<br />
meaning that the revelry wasn't so great that people were seeing things.<br />
The report in this Northern Illinois town near the Wisconsin border coincided with observations of a brilliant<br />
blue flash (also observed by Ray Palmer, of the Amherst Press, publishers of this book), believed caused by a<br />
meteor, over central Wisconsin. Witnesses said the pole was shaped something like a baseball bat and glided<br />
noiselessly along, not very high and not very fast.<br />
Mayor Logan said that very reputable and responsible persons first called him about the object, and that<br />
afterward, he received numerous reports from others in Galena and in communities to the north. "The<br />
descriptions given me were pretty much the same," Logan said. "I'm still getting calls."<br />
The police department said that a half dozen motorists reported that they nearly had accidents when they saw<br />
the pole pass low overhead. Mouths agape, they jammed on brakes. One motorist said he almost piled into a<br />
big truck when the driver abruptly stopped. Virginia Beadle, the local telephone operator, said she saw the<br />
object while on her way to work and it nearly frightened her to death.<br />
Later reports said the pole was green in color as it sailed northward, and Logan said he received re-ports from<br />
the north that it was blue over Wisconsin. It was undetermined, however, whether Wisconsin residents saw<br />
the pole or the blue flash of light reported by others. Dr. Bengt Stromgren, director of Yerkes Observatory at<br />
Williams Bay, Wisconsin, said he received a dozen reports of the flash from throughout central Wisconsin,<br />
but from all of information it appeared that the "flying phone pole" had merely been a _fireball!_ But it may<br />
be very significant that in both 1955 and 1956 Wisconsin led the nation in corn production per acre, although<br />
it is not a part of the famed "corn belt".<br />
The 'Red Spray Cases" mentioned by Maj Keyhoe are believed to be early experiments on the part of space<br />
intelligences to determine the best method of soil rejuvenation on our world. These cases happened back in<br />
the 1940's--the things came down to two-hundred feet and exploded. The green "fireballs" never came as<br />
close as these devices. The government listed this strange phenomena in its 1949 summaries as Case #225.<br />
One night, back in 1949, a strange reddish light was sighted at Albuquerque, New Mexico where they had<br />
been seeing the green "fireballs." The object came in at about five-hundred feet, then it suddenly dropped<br />
down to two-hundred feet and exploded in a red spray. A few people were frightened, but it wasn't directly<br />
over the city--it had exploded out of town toward the airport. This same thing happened on three other<br />
nights--the same place, and the same hour!<br />
Maj. Keyhoe believes the red spray devices were ranging bombs under remote control and is convinced that
