A long time ago I had a contact, Birgit Thiede, from
Copenhagen. She said she had turned over all of her files,
personal letters, etc., concerning Terrestrial UFOs to Mr.
Hynek who, in turn, gave her a membership to SITU. As far as
we know Hynek never released any of the material. Birgit saw
an article I had written for the Danish Newspaper, Forteana,
and wrote me.
She gave me most all of the same information. Unfortunately,
she had mailed Mr. Hynek all her original letters and had kept
no copies. Later I wrote an article on Terrestrial UFOs when few people
were talking about them. Although I was having material
published in newspapers, magazines and newsletters around the
United States, nobody would publish the article. In 1982
Tokyo's "UFOs and Space" published it in Japanese. (copy was
enclosed).
In any case, all I have left is my first draft, but the information is there if you can use it or care to print it. Birgit disappeared some time ago. She did tell me that she had somehow been exposed to nerve gas and advised me that if it got to a point when I couldn't find her, I could do so through her bank.
But when I inquired they informed me that they "had no patron
by that name." She is not the first of my UFO friends to
disappear.
