  Here he states that he believes other planets have visited this Earth.

Now, I know that thousands will, at this recital, cry humbug, nonsense,
lunacy, but I know that there are other thousands who will read and
reflect. It is for these latter thousands that I write. Once upon a time 
there
appeared a celebrated reformer, who arose among the people and taught
a new doctrine, that from its reasonableness and its simplicity, electrified
the hearts of the thinking people. But the party who didnt think, and who
hated reason, and new ideas, cried out, away with him to the c-ucifixion.
And they did cr-cify his body, but they have not yet succeeded in cru-ifying
the reason, and new facts and ideas that be taught.
In view, then, of the above, I venture to advance the following remarks: I
believe that the time will come when all of the inhabitants of all worlds or
planets in the solar system, will regularly visit each other when in the
fullness or fruition of things, an interchange of ideas and commodities,
visiting and greetings between the respective inhabitants of all worlds or
planets, will be common and universal. I believe that the grand aspirations 
of
an advanced humanity on this earth, is not without a good cause and a good
reason.
I believe that when the respective atmospheres seen surrounding the
different planets in the solar system, indeed, of every part of the 
universe,
shall have passed into the highest condition of excellence and purity of
which it is capable, that it will then give life to a more exalted and
finished condition of genera and species, or inhabitants. That all of the
planets are now inhabited by a kind of beings suited to their respective
planetary and electrical conditions, is, I think, certain. And that the
inhabitants of thousands of these worlds, that roll with eternal beauty
throughout the boundless regions of the immensity of space, have attained
that advanced condition in their planetary being, I have no doubt, whatever.
And that this ship which Mr. Wallace and others saw, was a vessel from
Venus, Mercury, or the planet Mars, on a visit of pleasure or exploration, 
or
some other cause; I myself, with the evidence at hand, that I can bring to
bear on it, have no more doubt of, than I have of the fact of my own
existence. This, mind, was no phantom that disappeared in a twinkling,
as all phantoms do disappear, but this aerial ship was guided, propelled and
steered through the atmosphere with the most scientific system and 
regularity,
at about six miles an hour, though, doubtless, from the appearance of her
machinery, she was capable of going thousands of miles an hour, and who 
knows
but ten thousand miles an hour. What can be more wonderful as an 
illustration,
than the Electric Telegraph to connect the old world with the new. And why
then, may not the scientific geniuses of other planets have done as much as
ours have?
Besides this, if I had room, I could draw an argument from the electrical
condition of the media existing between the planets, to show that a body 
once
in motion at a given distance from a planetary body in space, will move with
nearly the speed of electricity till it meets again the resisting media, or
atmosphere of another planet or body in space. That all of this knowledge, 
and
a million times more, may be known to some of the exalted beings of other
planets in space, I have no doubt. But as I was saying, this aerial ship 
moved
directly off from the earth, and remained in sight, till by distance she was
lost to the view. The foregoing is my firm and decided conclusion and belief
in this matter."

Dr. Earl lived on to publish a new, enlarged Illustrated Silent Friend, as
well as The Parent's Companion; On the di-eases of infants and children;
Woman; her duties, relations and position; A medical and social work;
Seven Causes of Debility; and Moderate the pace that K-lls; High pressure
business life; all in 1878 and catalogued by the Library of C-ngress.
Of course, the crux of the matter is this: was there really a Henry Wallace
of Jay, Ohio? The most logical place to search would be the old census 
records
for Ohio, and this is exactly what I determined to do. Because of logistical
difficulties (I live half a world away), I contacted the Ohio Historical
Society via the internet, paid the requisite fee, included a self-addressed
envelope with my written request, and received, by mail the following letter
dated April 21, 1999:
Dear Mr. G-ass:
Regarding your request for information from the 1850 Census, please see the
attached materials. You will note that there are several "Henry Wallaces"
listed in the Index to the Federal Census of Ohio; unfortunately, none of 
them
are listed in a county that includes a town by the name of Jay. However, 
there
is a town named Jay in Erie County, which is just east of Lorain County. So 
we
copied the Lorain County listing for a Henry Wallace in the hopes that this
was the man you are interested in.
The appended pages included copies from the 1860 census of Ohio. I scanned
through the spidery and antique handwriting, and there he was! Henry Wallace
of Eerie County, and presumably of Jay, was number 549 in the records. His 
age
in 1860 was 30 years old. He was married to Cloe, 28, and had a daughter 
named
Eva B who was 12 years and 8 months old at the time. Henry and his wife were
Irish; his occupation was listed as "Sailor." What is more, the entry just
previous to Henrys is for one David Wallace, 27 years old, and also from
Ireland. He too had a wife and a young daughter to support. Davids 
occupation
is listed as "Ship Carpenter."
Presumably, David and Henry were brothers and next-door neighbors in Jay.
Further perusal of the page indicates that their neighborhood was composed
primarily of sailors, millers, farmers and domestics i.e., Henry and his 
family
appear to have been members of the working poor of the time. Their position 
in
society was no doubt a difficult one, as was that of many Irish immigrants.
Add to this the probability that Henry Wallace was corresponding with Dr. 
Earl
because of a s-xually-transmitted d-sease picked up during his sea-faring
life, and an interesting picture emerges: either the sailor was a consummate
blarney artist practicing his gift upon a big city s-ake-oil salesman, or
Wallace was a simple person telling the truth to one whom he--
mistakenly--believed to be a man of science.
The "other persons," Dr. Earl mentions above, may well have been from this
neighborhood of poor people in the small town of Jay, Ohio. No doubt Henry
Wallace never suspected that Dr. Earl would mention him by name in his odd
little book and thereby allow us to catch a glimpse of this poor man and 
those
who might have witnessed one of the most extraordinary sights any human 
could
behold. What thoughts could have run through their minds in the presence of 
an
airship hovering so near to the earth that it clearly exhibited its crew of
giants and the intricate machinery that made it fly? And then to watch it 
move
grandly through the air until lost from sight!

July 1868 Copiago (Chile).
A strange "aerial construction" bearing lights and making engine noises flew
low over this town. Local people also described it as a giant bird covered 
with
large scales producing a metallic noise. Although not an actual landing, 
this
is the first instance of close observation of an unknown object at low 
altitude
in the nineteenth century.

Magnolia UFO Sightings Database

Dec. 07, 1872 Banbury (Great Britain). At King's Sutton an object 0100 hours
resembling a haystack flew on an irregular course. Sometimes high, sometimes
very low it was accompanied by fire and dense smoke. It produced the same
effect as a tornado, felling trees and walls. It suddenly vanished.
(Fort 189)

May. 15, 1879 Persian Gulf. Two very large "wheels" were seen spinning in 
the
air and slowly coming to the surface of the sea. Estimated diameter: 40 m.
Distance between the objects: 150 m. Speed: 80 km/h/ Duration: 35 min.
Witnesses aboard the ship "Vultur" (Round up 17; Anatomy 12)

1880 Aldershot (Great Britain). A strange being dressed in tight-fitting
clothes and shining helmet soared over the heads of two sentries, who fired
without result. The apparition stunned them with something described as 
"blue
fire." (FSR 61, 3; Magonia)

1880 Eastern Venezuela. A 14-year-old boy saw a luminous ball descending 
from
the sky and hovering near him. He felt somehow "drawn" to it, but succeeded 
in
backing away in spite of his terror. (Lor. III 2O6)
