Dedication has been essential , for these people have had to combat a mixture of massive opposition, apathy and ridicule throughout the whole of that time ; with the recommendations of the Condon Committee now known, it seems things will stay that way for many years to come . In spite of all the difficulties, extensive records have been amassed in some quarters ; a few responsible journals have come into existence and have survived; a few details have been learned about UFO behaviour and an occasional discovery has been made . Yet we have to admit that all in all we are not appreciably nearer the solution to this problem than we were twenty years ago . Unless we are prepared to believe the 'messages' in unsubstan­ tiated 'contactee' claims, we must confess that we still do not know where the alien aeroforms come from, or why they are here . In 1 9 6 6 , when the United States Air Force was preparing to establish a civilian scientific investigation on UFOS, we at Flying Saucer Review decided once and for all that the problem would never be solved just by recording the appearance of lights in the sky. More often than not, lights in the sky are only observed at long range ; the probability that many of them could be misidentifications of natural phenomena or man-made obj ects is high . Landings, however, are a different proposition, espe­ cially when a human being finds himself within a few yards of the saucer, or its occupants . So while the Air Force-sponsored Condon Committee at Colorado University prepared to consider-! cannot bring my
