FLYING SAUCERS A Patented Look: - Into a Real - Phenomenon PREFACE Many books have been published on the mysteries of ufo's. However, I know of few books that look at mans try to pro- duce hard core proof of there being real. That is why I'm publishing this book in order to vanquish at least part of the mysteries in the minds of people who are far from crazy. The book will speak for itself! But, I leave all conclus- ions up to the reader. The book is based on patents from the United States Patent Office. Keep in mind, I have seen other patents from Canada, England, and France that are as good. However, I'm acting on choice United States Patents in this first book to feel out the reader before publishing future books on the subject. All patents used are over 20 years old. The reasons being first, they are now public domain, and is the belief of the author to be the right starting point. Whether or not the devices where ever used as flying saucers is left up to the reader as well. That is where I stand on the subject of flying saucers. Is it myth or secret super-science? This book should bring a voice to the voiceless when someday you may say "I've seen them also!" - Introduction - To obtain patents one must know what they are looking for. There is more then one way to obtain them. The best way is to go to your local public library. However, depending on the library the patents may not be on hand. In other cases a full disclosure patent may not be on hand at the library. In big cities like Chicago, New York, Los Angeles, and others. The Federal Depository is the place where important documents are kept. They include such things as Freedom of Information Documents, Government Reports, U.S. Patents, and much more. Many smaller libraries contact these larger depositories to obtain this information for this reason. The price per patent is often higher then the $1.50 charged by the U.S. Patent Office. This is one reason way people in rural towns are better to order them through the Patent Office in Washington. The time it takes to recieve a patent from the government is about the same as your local town library. Plus, as I said the price differance maybe greater. Do to modernization of librar- ies. Some of them can run on-line patent checks. This helps you trace down other patents, plus the one you searched for. The price of the search can run into hundreds of dollars. This depends on the time, and and the size of each search. To obtain more information on the patents you can also send $2.00 per class listing. This is only patent numbers. Write down this address for further information: UNITED STATES DEPARTMENT OF COMMERCE Patent and Trademark Office Washington, D.C. 20231 Patents come in class and subclasses. You may find five patents one year and the following year none. This is do to the fact that in the following year no one was issued a patent for that subclass. You will not find these devices under Air Saucers, Because they are not called saucers. We have located two two primary class/subclasses that do contain devices that closely match modern UFO reports. They are class 244, subclass 62 - Electronic Aerocraft. Also class 310, subclass 308 - Reaction Motors, just to give you a hand in finding more of them on your own. - Conclusion - After you view the patents I hope you have a much better understanding of the Flying Saucer and truth behind some of them. "Seek you shall find." As the Bible says. I did and found out more then I bargained for! I'm sure however a great number of flying saucers will remain a mystery. This may be mans attempt at building Flying Saucers. There is room for more truth whatever it turns out to be! After all the truth is what you make of it. - Disclaimer - The author places no personal claim to the patents, nor to the intended use there of. He only points out there exsistance and leaves the reader to make up his, or her own mind as to what they are. Further, the author wishes to publish this booklet as a starting point for others to do there own research into the patents and the phenomenon. The author picked the patents only to give highlight to the story.
