>During his visits, Dr. Hynek did quite a bit of work using my

>Time marched on, and after Dr. Hynek passed away, the work was

>the title 'Night Siege'.>

>One day, revising my diskettes, I found a file labeled

I thank Dr. Smith for publishing this very interesting preface
(unpublished)....possibly the last thing Hynek wrote. And, of
course, it portrays the situation even today....
