Good evening, tonight a couple chapters from Tim Good's Earth : An Alien Enterprise.

Behind the aircraft’s twelve- to fourteen-foot-high windows of blueish tinted glass could be seen “about a twenty-eight-foot-long console cabinet with instrumentation,” Raulerson recalled, as well as six human appearing crew members, wearing “light blue-looking flight suits with square, black collars, about six inches [high].” The crewman he saw most clearly had “reddish blond hair—it looked like a crew-cut,” he told Cox. The vehicle “glowed” from the inside, but had no running lights: the only exterior light was “a fourteen-inch diameter hole on the bottom that was this solid, flaming red. But there was no exhaust coming from it.”

The encounter lasted about four minutes. “Then it took off real fast, to the northeast,” said Raulerson. “There’s not a day goes by that I don’t think about what I saw.” Sixty-five years old when he gave this interview in 1997, he was then the owner of two light aircraft and had been a pilot for forty years.

“What makes Raulerson’s tale a bit different from the rest,” Billy Cox points out, “is its location—north Merritt Island, just west of modern-day Kennedy Space Center, roughly four months after the United States entered the rocket era with ignition of the Bumper sequence from the Cape.” 1 That was in July 1950. Although Launch Pads 1 to 4 were then barely under construction at Cape Canaveral, the Army scheduled launches of two modified German V-2 Bumper rockets as first stage and a “Without Any Control” (WAC)- Corporal rocket as second stage. 2 The space program was under way. And it was constantly monitored by beings from elsewhere.

Raulerson’s early description of a red-haired alien is supported by the testimony of others, such as the Native American friend of Carl Anderson (Chapter 7) and by Apolinar (Paul) Villa (also Chapter 7), who had encounters with aliens in the 1950s and 1960s. In June 1963, for example, he witnessed the landing of a large disc in New Mexico from which emerged four men and five women, ranging in height from seven to nine feet. Some had red hair. 3

In December 1959, Omar Bowley, of Cocoa, worked as a blockhouse and pad inspector for Northrop, mainly during the Snark rocket tests. “Off duty, having pulled over in his car to watch a late-night launch not far from pads 3 and 4,” reports Billy Cox, “Bowley watched as three glowing objects—‘with edges slanted like pie plates and if you turned one upside down on top of the other’—descended upon the launch area from the north.” As Bowley reports: ]
