HEALING FROM UFOs

This article, written by Gordon Creighton for the Flying Saucer Review, examines the phenomenon of alleged healing of humans by UFO occupants. Creighton presents seven specific cases spanning from 1948 to 1968, involving individuals from Germany, the United States, Brazil, and Peru. The cases include Hans Klotzbach, who claimed to be healed after a train accident in 1948; Fred Reagan, who alleged his cancer was removed by beings in 1951; Buck Nelson, who reported relief from lumbago and neuritis; and Deputy Robert Goode, who claimed a bite wound was healed in 1965. Additionally, the article discusses a case involving a Brazilian woman, 'Miss Laiz,' treated for cancer in 1957, a French doctor referred to as 'Dr. X' healed in 1968, and a Peruvian customs official cured of myopia and rheumatism in 1968. Creighton acknowledges the skepticism surrounding these accounts, noting that many are difficult to authenticate and may seem preposterous. However, he argues that the existence of these reports, regardless of their factual accuracy, is a significant phenomenon that requires objective investigation. He emphasizes that the Flying Saucer Review aims to examine these claims with care, despite the potential for ridicule or the possibility that some accounts are fabricated. The article also includes advertisements for various UFO-related publications, reflecting the broader interest in the subject during the period.
