Thanks for reporting this, Doc Sarvis.

I have several shelves dedicated to my Erich von Daniken and Immanuel Velikovsky collection. Post-WWII 1950 was probably the beginning of the age of "pseudo-science."

An extraterrestrial traveler who visited South America a thousand years ago is depicted by the natives wearing an oxygen helmet in this stone relief.

Frank Edwards. Wow. Good stuff.

Have you read The Day After Roswell by Philip Corso? He was a serious US Army Counterintelligence Officer (LTC) during the Second World War and he extricated 10,000 Jewish refugees from Rome to Palestine. His book about the USG exploiting UFO technology is pretty interesting to say the least.

As you know, since you lived through it ahead of me, many of those ideas from the writers of Sci-Fi pulp and comic books became realities.

Charles Moulton (Wonder Woman creator) wrote about the "Purple Healing Ray" and her "Golden Lasso" which made one tell the truth. Today we use infrared and ultraviolet light therapy for a host of skin infections and the polygraph machine was invented by Moulton.

Did you own of these when you grew up with movies like Invasion of the Body Snatchers or Red Planet Mars?

Hi Zed

But Erich von Daniken was entertaining.

Decades ago I read the book and saw "Chariots of the Gods."

Soon after the US release of the film, a TV show called "In Search of...." aired to capitalize on the success of the movie.

Hosted by Leonard Nimoy, he used his rich voice to narrate each episode which explored UFOs, yetis, spontaneous combustion, etc.
