The Fifth Horseman of the Apocalypse UFOs: A History 1954 October I UfBj I V*- I THE FIFTH HORSEMAN OF THE APOCALYPSE UFOS: A HISTORY 1954: OCTOBER by Loren E. Gross Copyright © 1991 Fremont, CA DEDICATION This history series is dedicated to the memory of Francis R. "Dick" Scobee of Cle Elum, Washington, Mission Commander of the space shuttle Challenger and a "shirt tail" relative on ray Mother's side of the family. Acknowledgments: I would like to thank pioneer UFOlogist Vincent Gaddis for the gift of his collection of UFO newspaper clippings covering the early years of the UFO mystery, as well as George Early who took the time and the trouble to copy considerable material for my use from his UFO files, and Stanton Friedman, who was equally helpful by permitting access to his extensive library of aerial pheonmena. Furthermore, Lucius Farish has provided some vital items, good advice, and strong encouragement. Similarly, Dr. Richard F. Haines gave a lot of help, as did Lawrence Fawcett. In addition, Claude Mauge of France and Hilary Evans of England pro vided newspaper clippings from Europe. Tom Benson of New Jersey was kind enough to share some rare UFO news- bulletins which might have been otherwise unobtainable. Finally, it would be difficult to overestimate the assistance given by Marv Tayor, Northern California director of MUFON who currently operates the UFO Data Research 6 Intelligence Center, Exhibit 6 Library, 500 Ninth St., Suite G, P.O. Box 4877, Modesto, CA, 95352-4877. France in an uproar. By October the Flying Saucer flap in Europe(France) reached a peak. On the following pages are samples of how the print media catered to the public's fasination. Events mirrored the Anerican experience.
