His parents had left practically no estate and at the age of eighteen, he found himself entirely dependent upon his own resources. He completed his high school training and attempted to go on to college, but because of the great depression which was then causing a desperate competition for all types of employment, he found it impossible to support himself while attending school.
Realizing that he might never have the opportunity of matriculation at a recognized seat of learning, he thereupon instituted a night school class of one in the textbook and reference section of the Pasadena Public Library. Here he spent most of his evenings for several years, studying the same subjects which he would have been taking if he had been able to attend a college or university.
He became especially interested in the chemistry and use of explosives, with the result that he became an explosives technician and blaster. He followed this trade until it eventually led him into the field of rocketry. He was married in Pasadena in , and has had a happy and peaceful domestic life, marred only by the necessity of frequent moving which was required in the pursuit of his profession.
They have three children, one son and two daughters. Fry has been employed for the past five tears by Aerojet General Corporation, the world's largest developers and manufacturers of rocket engine.
Fry spent most of his time at the White Sands Proving Ground in New Mexico, where he was engaged in setting up instrumentation for the testing of a series of very large motors. PUBLISHER'S NOTE At a time when people everywhere are becoming conscious of the existence of other people from other worlds and when men of earth are about to realize their age-old dream of interplanetary travel, it is most timely to learn from a competent observer just what it takes to understand the meaning and purpose of the persistent visits to our atmosphere of Flying Saucers and extra-terrestrial people.
It takes considerable courage and determination to relate an incident which may seem incredible to the average person who has no corresponding experience with which to compare it, especially if one's reputation, position and livelihood are at stake.
Fry realized the vital need of the world for just the kind of information the extra-terrestrial people had given him. Yielding to the urgency of the situation he has at last after four years of silence revealed his astounding experience which includes a ride in a remote-controlled space ship from White Sands to New York and return in approximately 30 minutes, which represents a speed of some miles an hour.
Were it not for the fact that Mr. Fry is a highly trained technician and rocket expert fully conversant with all the scientific import and value of his unusual experience, one might wonder if he had correctly observed or interpreted all the facts.
It is extremely fortunate that there can be no question of Mr. Fry's competence to accurately observe and evaluate facts. His daily occupation requires this faculty in the highest degree. While Mr. Fry is a self-made man what he lacks in academic education is amply compensated for by his innate fitness for scientific and technological study and research.
It is to this younger generation of technicians, engineers and physicists that civilization must look for its future advancement, for they are less hampered by the stereotyped and out-moded concepts of a bye-gone day. Many of them are self-made and hence are more resourceful and pliant in the face of the new and unknown which is now fast becoming the domain modern physics which is in the process of embracing parapsychology and metaphysics, as the investigation of matter inevitably leads into the realm of the imponderables.
The vital significance of the message contained in the White Sands Incident is not so much in the scientific information revealed as in the way it points up the tragic situation of the nations of the world of today, standing at a crossroads, on the brink of disaster, where understanding of the danger and the way of solution might well save civilization from impending destruction.
The extra-terrestrial people have made the way plain if humanity will accept it. A meteorite skimming the earth's atmosphere could be a possible explanation, might explain the suggested presence of a 'vapour trail' and would not be something even a trained military observer would be familiar with.
However were that the explanation I would have expected the observers to describe it in terms of a light, rather than an 'object'. The estimated time in sight is quite long however, and, if a meteor, the object [illegible] have had a pronounced vapor trail. Once again, it is unfortunate that more detailed observations were not made. Date 29 June Incident 90 2. Time 1;00 and 1;30 P. Location Highway 17 between Las Crucas, [illegible].
Name of observer Mr. Kauke, Mr. Zohn, Mr. Occupation of observer Mr. Kauke, Telemetering supervis 6. Place of observation highway 17 — ground 8.
Number of objects 1 9. Time in sight 30 seconds Altitude between 8, an 10, ft Mr. Zohn put little credence in the estimates Speed rapid velocity Direction of flight northerly direction Tactics horizontal flight Shape uniform — no protuberances such as wings of a plane Exhaust trails Mr.
Kauke thought at one time there were vapor trails Weather conditions sunlight Sketches or photographs None Manner of disappearance receded until lost from sight Kauke who was driving the car noticed the object first. He called it to the attention of the other occupants. Zohn thereupon open the window nearest him and observed the object moving at an unknown rapid velocity at an unknown altitude which he estimated at 10, ft and which Mr.
Kauke thought was between 8, and 10, feet. When first sighted the object was to their right and forward of the automobile at an unstated elevation and apparently moving horizontally in a Northerly direction such as to cross the highway from right to left. The object was seen by all the occupants of the machine. Zohn could observe no details other than the shape was uniform with no protuberances such as the wings of a plane. It was too distant to enable [illegible] visualization.
There was some solar specular reflection which seemed to change in intensity as the object receded until lost from sight after an estimated 30 seconds from the time first noticed. Zohn could not explain how it disappeared except that he thought the reflection angle could of changed abruptly. The sun was to the rear of the automobile. Kauke thought at one time he saw vapor trails. At the requect of Lt.
New Mexico, 29 June. Substance of the interview is as follows: At between and p. Sunday, 29 June , Mr. Zohn, in the company of the following: Mr. At some time between those given and about one-third of the distance from Las Crucas Mr. Kauke, who was driving the car, noticed the subject device and called attention to the other occupants.
Zohn opened the window nearest him and observed the object moving at an unknown rapid velocity at an unknown altitude, which he estimated at about 10, feet, and which Mr. Kauke, who also observed it through an open window, estimated at between 8, and 10, feet, although the former puts little credence in the estimates. When first sighted the object was to the right and forward of the automobile at an unstated elevation and was apparently moving horizontally in a Northerly direction such as to cross the highway from right to left.
The object was observed by all persons in the automobile. Zohn stated that he could not observe any details of the object other than that its shape was uniform, with no protuberances such as the wings of an airplane. There was apparently some solar specular reflection which seemed to change in intensity as the object receded until it was lost from sight after an estimated 30 seconds from the time first noticed.
He could not explain how it disappeared except perhaps that the reflection angle may have changed abruptly.
There were apparently no clouds or visibility obstructions at the time. Kauke thought that at one time he saw vapor trails.
Before reaching the test stand area, however, I turned off to the right on a small dirt road which goes past the rifle range and on into the flats at the base of the Organ Mountains. I had gone about half a mile past the rifle range on this road when I first saw it. The sun had been down for some time, and there was practically no daylight left, but the sky was bright with stars, and the moon, though not yet above the horizon, was 16 producing considerable diffused light in the sky.
As I looked up at a group of especially bright stars hanging just over the peaks of the mountains, one of the stars suddenly went out. This, of course, immediately riveted my attention on that spot, for stars don't. At first I thought that a passing plane had cut off the light, but even with the thought, I knew it couldn't be that, for a moving plane would require less than a second to pass a given spot, and the star starred out.
Also, in the silence of the desert area around the proving grounds at night, a plane could be heard much farther than it could be seen, and there was no sound at all. No weather balloons were sent up at night, and a weather balloon would be rising quite rapidly: therefore it would only eclipse a star for a few seconds. Then another star just to the right went out, and a few seconds later two more just below.
By this time a strong prickling sensation was traveling up my spine. Whatever it was that was cutting off the light of the stars. Then finally I saw it and at the same time realized why I had not been able to see it sooner. It's color appeared to be so neatly that of the night sky that even when it was quite close it was difficult to see 17 4.
It was still coming toward me, and I felt a strong inclination to run, but long experience in blasting and rocket work had taught me that it is foolish to run from an approaching missile until you are sure of it s trajectory; since you are just as likely to run into it, as away from it. Also, you have no chance to judge it s trajectory while you.
