Hi Dan
Jon (Cypher) and I look forward to seeing you on Friday at 3:30pm in your office.

Jon, you probably recall, is an actor who starred on “Hillstreet Blues” and “Major Dan,”
among many other TV shows, Broadway (wish you could hear him sing “The Impossible
Dream” which he sang on Broadway in La Mancha), and movies. He’s also a scholar
(and sings opera in four languages), and speaks eloquently about space. We've been
married for fifteen years.

Since I closed down the Institute for Security and Cooperation in Outer Space a few years
ago, which I founded in ’83, we’ve both been searching for our role in promoting the
space program.

As you know, I was spokesperson for von Braun during the last years of his life. He had
me commit to finding the path to open the doors to space ... with his full and unlimited
vision. I think I’ve found a way to do it.

We’re bringing you a package that will give you the idea. (Don’t worry, it won’t cost
you or NASA a dime.) And we’ll only take as much time as you want ... even just a few
short minutes as I know how busy you are. But it’s going to be worth this trip to hand
this to you in person.

Also, we’d love to take you (and yours) to lunch or dinner during the week we'll be in
DC. Possible?

See you Friday.

My best, CLF Be ee

“Stripping the UFO phenomenon of its irrational layer”

Foreword by Professor André Lebeau, Former chairman of the Centre National
d’Etudes Spatiales
(CNES) [French National Center for Space Studies]

It is not looked on highly in certain scientific circles to be preoccupied with phenomena
that are deemed to come under the heading of popular mythology or that are, at any rate,
outside the realm of science. Such was the case with stones falling from the sky, which
was long considered in our country to be the stuff of fable. However, the day that a
meteorite shower over the town of Laigle permitted a collective and indisputable
observation, it entered into the domain of science. One century later NASA, no doubt
hastily, elevated these stones to proof of the existence of primitive life on Mars.

Phenomena of this type pose a preliminary problem for the scientific approach: does a
scientific fact exist? ,

When the phenomenon is a matter of experimentation, the criterion to be used is simple,
the reproducibility of the experiment is the touchstone and furnishes the fact that must
then be interpreted. But the situation is more difficult when the phenomenon is not open
to experimentation, when repeated observation is the only basis on which one can go, as is
the case in astronomy and for the most part in geophysics. However, when the fact, albeit
rare, is collectively and indisputably visible, it is easy to elevate it to the status of scientific
object. The existence of eclipses, comets, and novas h…
