Outwardly, nothing seems co have happened co these men. They are srilJ alive, still living where they used ro. Bur they no longer publish saucer research material and they will not talk about saucers or why they no longer will speak of them. Three men in dark suits have visited these saucer researchers. Nobody knows what they said, but it was enough to reduce their bearers to silence. Perhaps the silenced men know who the three dark-dad visitors are, but they won't c.alk. about chis either. And nobody else seems co know who these men are. They might be government agencs, they might even be men from outer space, or they might have muscled into a situation fraught with many possibilities. This is pan of the crue story rold by an otherwise prosaic and successful Oarksburg, West Virginia, business man, Gray Barker, whose busy film booking and buying agency in Clarksburg News Building scarcely seems co be the place to give forth this story stranger than chat of any of the pictures chat Mr. Barker is booking. Mr. Barker never was interested in flying saucers until 1952 when one of the most astonishing ones allegedly landed near his home in West Virginia and he investigated the story and found the shaken and fearful eye wicnesses convincing enough to go on with further investigations. Then, after severaJ years of close contaa with the leading men in the .field, he found them suddenly silenced, one by one. Who they are, what they were doing when they were silenced, Mr. Barker's astonishing theories of what they had discovered chat impelled ochers co silence them, is cold in his book. H. G. Rhawn, publisher and owner of the daily Clarksburg News, the author's home town paper, has authorized University Books to publish a letter from him which, while carefully disclaiming any credence in flying saucers, concludes that when so sober and successful a business man as Mr. Barker finds the .field imponanr enough, flying saucers deserve serious investigation. The,y Knew Too Much About Flying Sa11cers is a ( continued on back flap) JACKET BY GROPPER ASSOCIATES, INC. GRAY BARKER (continued from front flap ) behind-the-scenes chronicle of civilian saucer research. It is an immensely readable book. We suggesc you do not pick it up if you have work to do, for you wiJJ be unable to put it down until you reach the amazing climax. Mr. Barker cells the Story in such a straightforward and documentary manner that the reader's first mo­ ment of incredulity will give way to conviction as be is acquainted, page-by-page, with the terrifying in­ side faces. A six-footer, handsome, and with a warm, in­ fectious laugh, Mr. Barker retains in his voice just a trace of the accent of the West Vitginia farming country where be grew up, somewhat belying the rich and varied career he has crammed into his thirty years. He has been head of an English deparanent in a Maryland school system, an audio-visual education consultant for a large school supplier, theatre man­ ager and morion picrure projection technician. Begun as a hobby, saucer research has taken more and more of his time as be has realized the Stark reality behind the mystery. Finding time for bis literary career between details of operating his business, he publishes The Saucerian, a flying saucer periodical, and contributes co educa­ tional journals and morion picture technical magazines.
