unprepared, at this time, to discuss the information you are calling
about." On 18 August Stanford tried again. "I'm sorry," the secretary said,
"but Dr. Frankel is in a top-level security conference. I doubt that he will
be able to talk with you until tomorrow or the next day."
Failing to get hold of Frankel the following day, Stanford left a telephone
number with the secretary. On 20 August Thomas P. Sciacca Jr. of
NASA's Spacecraft Systems Branch phoned Stanford. "I have been
appointed to call you and report the official conclusion of the Socorro
sample analysis," he said. "Dr. Frankel is no longer involved with the matter,
so in response to your repeated enquiries, I want to tell you the results
of the analysis. Everything you were told earlier by Dr. Frankel was a mistake.
The sample was determined to be silica, SiO 2 "
In 1967 Dr. Allen Hynek invited Ray Stanford to a lecture he was giving
in Phoenix, and afterwards Hynek asked: "Whatever happened with
the analysis at Goddard of that metallic sample from the rock you took
from the Socorro site" Both Hynek and Stanford had been closely
involved in investigations at the landing site, but Stanford was puzzled as
to how Hynek knew about the NASA analysis. "I was not sure where
Hynek had learned of the fact that I had taken the rock which Lonnie
Zamora had pointed out to both of us, and which the astronomer had
ignored," he said. "I was interested to note that he specifically knew it was
analyzed at Goddard. That fact had never been published."
Stanford told Hynek that NASA's "official" analysis had revealed it to
be common silica. "That cannot be true!" exclaimed Hynek. "I am familiar
with the analysis techniques involved. Silica could not be mistaken for
a zinc-iron alloy. They haven't given you the truth! I would accept
Frankel's original report and forget the later disclaimer."
Given that the original analysis was accurate it is worth recording
NASA Administrator Dr. Robert Frosch's statement in the letter he wrote
to President Carter's science advisor, Dr. Frank Press, in 1977: "There is
an absence of tangible or physical evidence available for thorough laboratory
analysis ... To proceed [therefore] on a research task without a disciplinary
framework and an exploratory technique in mind would be
wasteful and probably unproductive."
THE SILVER SPRING FILM
In my first book I devoted a chapter to the controversial 8mm colour
movie film taken by George Adamski in the presence of Madeleine
Rodeffer and other unnamed witnesses outside Madeleine's home at
Silver Spring, Maryland, in February 1965. I have been taken to task for
endorsing the authenticity of this "obviously fake" film taken by a
"proven charlatan," but I have yet to see any conclusive evidence that it
