MONTHLY STATUS REPORT

VOLUME 1, ISSUE 1

OCTOBER 1973

Welcome to the membership of SHADO U S Central Control. This is the first of the Status Reports you will be receiving monthly. Cmd. Straker sends his best regards to all new members and hopes that you will all enjoy being a part of SHADO. This is your club and we, your officers, want you to participate in its running and have fun with it. We are here to help; any suggestions or criticisms are welcome as we want to do as good a job as possible, and we need your help to do so. If you have friends who also watch UFO, get together with them and form your own Control base. If you wish, you can submit details of your organization to us and we will pass the information on to the other fans via this report.

We also want to publish reports on actual UFO sightings. If you see one, get all the details you can---size, distance from you, speed, direction and send it to us, If you can, make a simple sketch of the UFO, as there are a number of different types, and SHADO scientists believe each has a different function in the alien scheme of conquest. We would also like all of you to collect any newspaper or magazine articles that are printed on UFOs. These will become part of a permanent reference collection kept by SHADO - USCC.

Contributions of fiction---short stories, anagrams, jokes, etc. dealing with UFO and SHADO will be gratefully accepted. Be sure to keep copies of all printed work. Never send your only copy of anything through the mail, as it is not known for its efficiency. As to artwork, we would like drawings of all the stars, and, if any of you are so inclined, we will accept technical drawings of SHADO equipment and vehicles. Cartoons, too. But be warned! The Commander likes to keep pictures done of himself. So if you want your work returned after we have copied it, please enclose a stamped, self-addressed envelope and instructions to that effect. We will print as much as we can, but budget and editorial policy will be factors. Don't be disappointed if your work is not printed right away. Be patient. We will get to it as soon as possible.

Membership cards will be sent to everyone as soon as SHADAIR MAIL can get them here. The Commander is signing each one himself, and that takes time. But everyone should get one with the next Status Report.


Looking forward to your continued participation;


DALE E. JONES
Colonel, Internal Security
SHADO, U. S. Central Control
