194 OUR ANCESTORS CAME FROM OUTER SPACE<br />

Seventy per cent of the observations were made at night, one<br />
in ten involved landings, and one in twenty were cases when extraterrestrial<br />
astronauts were seen by or had contacts with humans.<br />
Very powerful magnetic forces were always present in any<br />
case, and these forces could cut the power of automobile or aircraft<br />
generators, disturb radio transmissions, and make all kinds<br />
of on-board electromagnetic instruments go completely crazy.<br />
Moreover, flying saucers can fly at more than 25,000 km an<br />
hour and suddenly fly back in the opposite direction, a maneuver<br />
that no space vehicle of human construction can do at<br />
without disintegrating on the spot.<br />

Also, Poher has investigated<br />
eleven landing sites in France and found impressions on the<br />
ground similar to those that would have been left by a three-ski<br />
aircraft landing gear. The depth of these impressions indicates a<br />
weight of from 50 to 100 tons and a length of 200 to 300 m for<br />
the spacecraft. Also, nothing can now grow in those impressions,<br />
as if the ground had been burned.<br />
I am not going to retell the story of Ezekiel and the flying saucer<br />
he saw near Babylon in 592 B.C. because you can read it in<br />
the Bible or in a very interesting book published a few years ago<br />
by one of my colleagues at NASA, The Spaceships of Ezekiel by<br />
Joseph Blumrich. But it is the oldest flying saucer report that I<br />
know of.<br />
I think, however, that I should make a personal contribution. I<br />
think I know how flying saucers enter our solar system and, step<br />
by step, arrive near earth. In other words, I think that I have discovered<br />
their flight schedule.<br />
In April 1973, when I was computing the revolution and conjunction<br />
periods of all the planets to verify the validity of the<br />
Nineveh number as a constant of the solar system, I was puzzled<br />
by the fact that Mars was in conjunction with the earth every<br />
780 days, or every 2.135 years, while it was in conjunction with<br />
Jupiter every 816 days, or every 2.235 years, a difference of only<br />
36 days.<br />
Then I remembered reading a few months before that flying<br />
saucer invasions seemed to occur precisely every 800 days, or a<br />
little bit more than every two years. That was enough to put my
