How else could it be done?<br />
3. Use Of A Footprint To Convey Desired Message:<br />
(a). After all, this would be a most simple way because the marks left by the foot are ample proof of a contact<br />
and these same marks can be studied; casts can be made of them; and photographs can be taken, etc.<br />
(b). Also, the foot-shape itself gives us a clue as to how to read the message. We know that in<br />
walking we step on the heel and end of the toe. Therefore, in reading the symbols, we start with the symbols<br />
on the heel, proceed from there to the arch, and then to the toe symbols.<br />
(c). Also, each footprint, left and right, is to be taken as a unit in itself. So, each one has a separate message to<br />
convey; yet, both are related in an overall message.<br />
(d). We must also take into consideration the fact that the symbols that were observed on the ground are<br />
exactly the reverse (direction) of the<br />

symbols on the sole of the shoes making the impression of the prints. A mold is always the opposite of the<br />
original, etc. However, our visitor from Venus drew attention to the footprints themselves; not to the soles of<br />
his shoes. So, the spaceman must have taken this fact into consideration when planning the message and<br />
corresponding symbols. We are not to read the symbols on the plaster casts, for as stated above, they are the<br />
reverse of what should be read. In interpreting these symbols then, we must keep all these facts in mind,<br />
remembering them as they appeared on the ground originally.<br />
4. Use Of The So-Called Swastika And Other Symbols: The true clock of the universe is in the form of a<br />
Swastika. It is the Big Dipper revolving about the North Star. Some of the other symbols represent the form of<br />
the star-grouping in certain constellations. How else would you show these heavenly bodies and their<br />
arrangements except by drawings of what they look like? These would, of course, be true universal symbols.<br />
Certainly the spacemen wouldn't give us symbols we couldn't understand. What good is a message if we don't<br />
know the meaning of it? The form of certain constellations would be different as viewed from other worlds,<br />
but space people would know what the form was that appeared to men on Earth.<br />
I made the plaster casts of the left and right footprint. From a preliminary study of the casts (and drawings that<br />
had been made prior to the pouring of the plaster) a partial reconstruction of the original<br />

 marks was made. Therefore, the drawings of the footprints as reproduced in the Phoenix Gazette of<br />
November 24, 1952 were not completely accurate. I had made hurried drawings from my field-notes for<br />
immediate publication in the paper. Later, I did considerable work on the casts and during certain tests many<br />
of the smaller symbols came to light. Anyone, searching through the world's oldest records would come to the<br />
same conclusions as I have.
