 I did not realize at the time that I approached this counter that I was going to become a \sc{ufo} manifestation.

 Is it possible that a Nazi functionary familiar with secret circular aircraft, then mentally disturbed by the German defeat, might be more likely than most of us to admit the real possibility of \sc{ufo}s, the circular aircraft that keep turning up in news photos all over the world?
 
-I have drawn below (\ref[stoppedfan]) the image of a circular spinning object with windows, standing still.

One of the most important aspects of their similarity is that they look more different standing still, than when blurred into a solid ellipse while spinning.

 On May 17, a man who said that he had attended meditation sessions at the Cayce Foundation in Virginia Beach left a class which Larry Sands was conducting just outside my office and told me that he had experienced a \sc{ufo} sighting while at Virginia Beach. He connected this sighting with an alteration of his perceptual system.

This caused what he described as a "spasmodic reaction" of his entire nervous system. He spoke several times of physical spasms as connected with his visionary experience.

 For example, as I was quietly sitting here in the air shuttle plane to New York City, jotting down notes specifically on the absorption spectra of chlorophyl, an exit sign fell on my head. These notes had specifically to do with the site\slash absorption dilemma which I have mentioned as point number (a) on page 106\fixnote\ of the preceding discussion of pranic action during photosynthesis. There is a lot of research material on chlorophyl, and right after the exit sign fell on my head I decided that the site\slash absorption dilemma was the \dq{way out} for me as far as beginning to elucidate the photosynthetic problem in a way which could be easily understood.
