After the singing, a man got up and spoke for about five minutes about flying saucers and then everyone began to chant in unison “Peace, Love, Harmony.” Complainant advised that she does not know if the group was led by subversives, but wanted to report it for whatever value it might have.

Second Convention March 14, 1955 No A-War flying Saucers Believers Told . Twenty-nine Palms California: 1000 persons who believe in flying saucers were told over the weekend that there is no danger of an atomic war. They were given assurance by series of speakers who addressed the Second Annual Flying Saucer Convention.

The speakers asserted that there will be no atomic war because the people from Mars ,Venus, Saturn and other places in the heavens won't permit it.

Richard Miller, the flying saucer exponent from Prescott, Arizona, said the Earth is now moving into a huge cloud of deadly cosmic rays but is being screened from the radiation by 3,560,000 spaceships.

He added that if the screening fails to prove effective, the Martians are prepared to evacuate the entire Earth to save the people from destruction.

Miller said Sol-Tec, the commander of a Martian spaceship, 150 feet in diameter, disclosed the plan when he was picked up by the spaceship near Detroit and made a 12-hour voyage in it.

Another speaker, Mrs. Dana Howard of Desert Hot Springs, reported she made a trip to Venus in a spaceship and had a beautiful romance there with the Venetian named Lelando.

She said she returned the earth to bring a Venusion message of a greater way of life.

Of the speakers Explained that the creatures from the other world all speak English because they learned it over the radio.
