Astronomer Clyde Tombaugh, who discovered the planet Pluto in 1930, has been looking for nearer and more
elusive objects. Extra Earth satellites. Dr. Tombaugh has refused to give many details and refers questioners
to Army Ordnance in Washington. He says the fact that other Earth moons have not been discovered yet does
not mean that they do not exist. Remember From The Earth To The Moon, by Jules Verne? In this book a
small satellite of the Earth disturbed the course of the space ship and almost kept it from returning to Earth.
A small satellite close to the Earth would be hard to spot. It might circle near the equator, invisible to most of
the world's observatories. In any case, it would spend nearly half its time in the shadow of the Earth, where it
would be invisible. Most of the rest of the time it would be passing over the sunlit Earth, and would look no
brighter at best than a tiny fragment of the Moon as seen by day. The best time to look for a small satellite
would be at dawn or dusk, when it would be shining brightly above the dim-lit Earth.
A satellite near the Earth would have to move very fast to keep itself out of the clutches of Earth's gravitation,
and its speed would make it doubly hard to spot. Thousands of small areas in the sky must be examined and
completion of such a search could take years. Dr. Tombaugh is now trying to discover what space
intelligences said was true many long months ago!
Nothing "official" has been released announcing discovery of the "dark moon" of Earth, but other information
equally, if not more important has been reported. Nearly two years ago, Frank Edwards, radio commentator,
first reported Mt. Palo-mar's discovery of "two unknown objects of unique character". Sir Edward Appleton,
famous British radio-physicist said: "These two unknown objects are discoveries of great astronomical
interest."
On March 12, 1954, Frank Edwards again revealed official concern over the two "objects" which lie in the
orbit between Earth and Mars. These objects recently confirmed by radio-telescope were not seen prior to
1877. Scientists at White Sands, New Mexico are examining the evidence.
On August 22, 1952 our research group in Northern Arizona was informed by space friends that Lowell
Observatory was conducting highly secret investigation with the aid of new electronic devices. We knew that
expensive equipment had been installed on Mars Hill near Flagstaff, Arizona and the building housing the
equipment was surrounded by a high fence and was guarded by large dogs. The Santa Fe Railroad was
informed that if its radio equipment in the vicinity interfered with the electronic investigation some changes
would have to be made. The two artificial satellites, or space stations, were tracked by the new equipment at
Lowell.
In August, 1954, Aviation Week magazine reported that the two objects were meteors, and insisted that Dr.
Lincoln La Paz helped identify them as natural rather than man-made. Dr. La Paz attacked the magazine's
reference to him, but acknowledged the search for nearby satellites. He also said: "The report is false in every
particular insofar as reference to me is concerned."
Two artificial objects are known to be circling the Earth at four-hundred and six-hundred miles out in space.
The Russians haven't beaten the United States to space operations and the objects aren't natural meteors. Van
Tassel and others reported their existence several years ago.
For years, astronomers have observed fantastic sights on our Moon. Dr. F. B. Harris on January 27, 1912 saw
what he reported as an "intensely black object" whose size he estimated at fifty by two-hundred fifty miles.
Almost two-hundred years ago Sir John Herschel reported a dozen or more very bright lights on the Moon
during eclipses. He thought they were active volcanoes, but he was very puzzled by some that appeared to be
above the Moon.
A bright light in the Crater Aristarchus and one at the eastern base of the lunar Alps have been seen frequently
for more than one hundred years. The whole plain of Mare Crisium puts on a spectacle of dots and streaks of
