APRO Bulletin, January 15, 1955

This document is the January 15, 1955, issue of the APRO Bulletin, published by the Aerial Phenomena Research Organization. The issue is dedicated to members Joe Rolas and Horacio Gonzales of Caracas, Venezuela, for their reporting on UFO sightings in South America. The bulletin asserts that there is a worldwide increase in UFO reports, despite efforts by the Pentagon and the U.S. Air Force to dismiss them. The publication highlights several specific incidents in Venezuela, including the 'San Carlos incident' involving a young man named Jesus Paz who claimed to be attacked by a hairy dwarf-like creature. Another report details an encounter by Lorenzo Flores and Jesus Gomez, who claimed to have been attacked by four small, hairy creatures near the Trans-Andian Highway. A third report involves a teacher in Barquisimeto who was pursued by a glowing, disc-shaped object. The bulletin also discusses the 'Chair of Caracas' phenomenon and reports of a W-shaped mark found on Mars. The editorial content expresses strong support for the writings of Donald Keyhoe and criticizes the U.S. government's stance that flying saucers do not exist. The bulletin also includes a commentary by Jim Lorenzen, who analyzes the Venezuelan sightings, suggesting that the creatures described are small, hairy, and possess great strength. The document concludes with administrative notes regarding the organization's operations and membership.
