I received a nice holiday gift from David Marler, some files from the APRO Archives (Aerial Phenomenon Research Organization) Carl Allen Visited their office in 1969.
Just starting to go through the material, and hoping for more to come some things of note;
- Original clear color picture of Carl Allen taken at APRO (same picture all the books use in B&W and further a copy of a copy of a copy. This will be great to include in my book.)
- 50 Min Audio Interview with Carl Allen, hopefully, I can pull a few good quotes from him.
If you don’t know why Carl went to APRO;
As the years passed Carl Allen became bitter at the unwanted publicity of his letters, and the simple fact that everyone but him was profiting from his story. In 1969, to “get back at them all,” he handed Jim Lorenzen of A.P.R.O. (Aerial Phenomenon Research Organization) a copy of the Varo Edition (of Morris Jessup’s book, The Case for the UFO) with a “confession” attached.
