Letter to the Editor Flying Saucer Review Vol. 31 #5 (July 1976)
|
|
|
|
Dear Mr. Creighton,
|
|
|
|
In a recent issue of Flying Saucer Review (Volume 31, No 1,1985)
|
|
your article entitled "Top U.S. Scientist Admits Crashed UFO'S"
|
|
indicated that it was first to Jerome Clark that Dr. Robert I.
|
|
Sarbacher revealed his knowledge of crashed UFO's. Well, Mr. Clark
|
|
was not the first. Mr. William Steinman in recent months has provided
|
|
me with the following information:
|
|
|
|
"I first became aware of Dr. Sarbacher when I read notes of Wilbert
|
|
B. Smith reagarding his interview with him on September 15, 1950.
|
|
I had obtained them from Wilbert Smith's widow, Murl. She obtained
|
|
them out of Wilbert's own research diary, which is in the possession
|
|
of Wilbert's son. Dr. Sarbacher remembered the interview when I
|
|
sent him a copy. The handwritting of the notes matches that exactly
|
|
of other notes in Smith's own longhand."
|
|
|
|
A copy of Dr. Sarbacher's letter of November 29, 1983 to Mr. Steinman
|
|
is enclosed for your information. The only copy Mr. Steinman says he
|
|
gave was to U.S. researcher William L. Moore in December, 1983 (in
|
|
fact within one week of receiving it in the mail on December 5,1983).
|
|
You can take it from there how all the others, including myself, in the
|
|
grapevine finally obtained their copy. A more in depth article with Mr.
|
|
Steinman's approval will be published regarding the above affair in my
|
|
UFO publication,"The Sixth Quark Journal" this spring.
|
|
|
|
Sincerely,
|
|
|
|
Tom Benson
