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

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

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