Kazik
In September 1953, Albert K. Bender of
Bridgeport, Connecticut, suddenly shut down
his International Flying Saucer Bureau
(IFSB), confiding to a few close friends that
three men in black had threatened him and
given him the frightening answer to the UFO
mystery. Though Bender would provide few
details, he hinted that the visitors were agents
of the U.S. government. His alleged experience
led an associate, Gray Barker, to write a
sensational and paranoia-drenched book,
They Knew Too Much About Flying Saucers
(1956), about Bender and other supposedly
silenced UFO researchers. Eventually, Barker,
who had started a small West Virginia–based
publishing company, persuaded Bender to reveal
what had happened to him. In Flying
Saucers and the Three Men (1962), Bender
wrote that he had run afoul, not of a terrestrial
intelligence agency, but of extraterrestrial
intelligences from the planet Kazik.
Bender’s IFSB had come into existence in
April 1952 and was soon among the most successful
of early UFO groups, claiming as
many as six hundred members in a number of
countries. Bender was also an enthusiastic science-fiction
fan. A bachelor, he lived in a
house full of artifacts from horror films, and
at night, as he lay in bed, he would imagine
himself sailing out of his body and into deep
space. Soon, according to Bender’s book,
weird things began happening to him. Strange
lights and disembodied footsteps frightened
him, and once glowing eyes, accompanied by
a stench of sulfur, stared at him. With colleagues
in Australia and New Zealand, Bender
speculated about a saucer base inside the
South Pole, and they laid plans for a research
project to study that possibility.

Bender urged his membership to try to
contact the saucers telepathically at the same
hour on March 15, 1953. While participating,
he underwent an out-of-body experience
and then heard a voice warning him to “discontinue
delving into the mysteries of the
universe.”
A few weeks later, he returned home from a
two-week vacation to smell the sulfur odor. A
few hours later, three shadowy, apparitional
figures dressed in dark suits spoke to him.
They gave him a device with which he could
contact them; all he had to do was hold it
tightly in his palm and say “Kazik” over and
over again. Two days later, he attempted contact.
The experience initiated a series of encounters
with monstrous beings who revealed
that “Kazik” was the name of their home
planet. They took Bender to their antarctic
base, where they revealed their big secret: they
had come to Earth to gather and refine sea
water. They also told him that God does not
exist and that there is no life after death.
Bender was given a disc that monitored his
activities and ensured his silence until they
completed their business, which was in 1960
when they departed from our planet. Bender
was free to tell his story, which he did in a
book that few, including (privately) Barker,
saw as anything more than a not particularly
interesting science-fiction novel. Two critics
pointed to the story’s inherent implausibility:
“The story lacks a good solid motive or purpose.
. . . How could Bender or anyone else
have discovered [the Kazakians’] secret until
they chose to reveal it; and if they wished their
secret to remain unknown, what possible purpose
could they have had in revealing it deliberately
to Bender, only to have to then force
silence upon him, causing him physical pain
and disturbing his peace of mind for the next
eight years? . . . What was so significant about
a few tons of sea water? . . . What had such
entities to fear from anyone, if Bender did
publish such a ‘secret’? Who would believe it,
or be able to interfere with such an advanced
civilization?” (Beasley and Sampsel, 1963).
