La Vanguardia- Domingo 31 de Octubre de 1954

POR parte de muchos de mis lectores recibo cartas interesándose para que me ocupe de los platillos volantes que, de algún tiempo a esta parte, llenan con grandes titulares las páginas de la,Prensa francesa y empiezan a invadir las de la española. Es éste, sin embargo, un tema al cual no me resulta grato referirme, sencillamente porque es uno de aquellos en que más se ha mezclado la fantasía. En 1952 me nombraron corresponsal en España de la «N. Y. Research Association for Meteors» de los Estados Unidos, entidad que tiene por objeto, además del estudio meteors, just the data on the appearance of flying saucers. Since then provided them with different information.

But I have failed by a very simple reason. Almost always it was they who asked me to me about flying saucers appearances took place in Spain, of which I had not heard or knew positively that there were no more than the imagination of some pranksters or people certainly in good faith but confused with other phenomena such appearances or other occurrences that had nothing to do with what is supposed to be flying saucers, spaceships from other worlds. These alleged apparitions in a tabloid published in a newspaper, had come to the United States.

I have not yet had the chance to see with my own eyes no flying saucer. Instead, I have seen several items that many took as such or as to their effects: balloons drifting in the atmosphere, static or moving slowly and then retreating, contrails formed by jets, which, due to its height, were invisible, being so, however, for long, wispy clouds composed of ice crystals at altitudes of 3 and 10,000 feet above sea level, spectacular fireball, with relative frequency go through our sky, being only observed by few people. But, of course, the fact that I have seen them means absolutely nothing. Many years ago a dear friend of mine, a medical doctor who spent the summer in a rural population of Catalonia, was asked, about two o'clock in the morning, to visit a sick woman. It was a matter of moving to a farmhouse deep in the countryside, far from it. The night was unusually quiet and the stars twinkled in the sky, as they usually shine in the field and at that hour before dawn.

My friend went on and admired, at the same time, the grand spectacle of the starry world, which is always awesome. Suddenly he saw advancing a thin disk luminosity at a considerable height. At that time, a dozen years ago, barely speaking of flying saucers. When I reported the fact, and assuming that it would be a fireball, I made the questions of rigor:

- crossed the space in a particular direction?

"Yes.

"The way the sky was it something quick?

-was moving slowly. Remained in the sky about two minutes.

- Did you follow a straight line?

-No. Advanced and then retreated.

was clear that this was not a meteor, because they, through space with apparently uniform speed, follow straight paths and their appearance in the sky is a matter of seconds, sometimes exploding at high altitude and resulting in a intense brightness red or green. But a meteor burst occurs sometimes a cloud of gases that, so in regions where low temperatures prevail, lead to something permanent cloud formation the wind round or disintegrates, or take one to the other side.

However, in the case of my friend doctor, worthy of confidence, it was clear that the phenomenon could not be confused with the passage of a meteor.

A little over a year, ie during the last days of June 1953, was seen in the sky, from Mallorca and from Ibiza, an object which newspapers rarely talked much at that time. Observed at first glance looked quite oval, but through binoculars as it was similar to an arrowhead.

seems that Ibiza fishermen discovered it at five in the afternoon of 17 June. Was visible on successive days

from two pm until shortly after sunset as a bright object located at a height that was estimated at about 45 kilometers. The observation was supported by another friend of mine, a young student of the Faculty of Science

University of Barcelona, \u200b\u200bwhich was then in the beautiful Balearic island.

The Press has published many other cases and, until recently, photographs of flying saucers or cigars. This means that something exists. And it deserves to be studied from a strictly objective point of view, as is being done from the United States. Lay statements or denials following subjective premature skepticism or credulity in which no has great value.

more than a century ago Arago, in his "Popular Astronomy," said

hiciesen "If I just this question: is lived in the sun? Answer I do not know. Now if I were asked if the Sun "may" be inhabited by beings organized in a manner similar to that inhabit our globe, would not hesitate to answer affirmatively.

This manifestation of Arago, which today seems a complete nonsense, could be done at that time still dominated the ideas of Herschel, whereby the solar balloon consisted of a dark core relatively cold and surrounded by an atmosphere in which floated a layer of highly reflective clouds that spread by

light space of the outer layer, or photosphere. Today we know that the core, instead of being cold, has a very high temperature of millions of degrees.

Arago's mistake was to lay a claim for which she was not ready yet the science of the time,

and shows how carefully we should proceed when it comes to things that are not familiar with proper accuracy.

In the case of flying saucers is therefore necessary to observe and studied. And while we wait for

front of our window and pass one of those rare artifacts and technicians to pursue with the supersonic aircraft, we reflect on two facts: the first is that the alleged flying saucer seen just as several nations are engaged with great zeal to build powerful weapons and completely new features and the results of attempting to maintain the strictest secrecy. And second, in the case of the visit of supposed inhabitants of Mars, or whatever. from a world that seems logical to develop more advanced than our earth, it is very unlikely that they had not been happened to come here many centuries ago and they did now, just as between us has developed a taste for space travel, with greater intensity after the Second World War due to progress in the art of rocket fire.

In fact, there are two circumstances that continue to be significant. Federico

A CUSTOM FLYING SAUCERS

(Exclusive of "La Vanguardia".) Friday June 15, 1928

AHahabad, 14 (cable) .- The Patna High Court has ruled in the process of a complaint lodged against ten persons which led to a Hindu widow to practice the old custom to immolate himself at the stake, the day of the funeral of her husband . They have rejected all appeals.

The accused have been sentenced to between one and ten years.

The fact was verified in a way pathetic.

Amid a crowd of thousands, the widow went to the pyre, embracing the corpse of her husband. Once ready, he told his family that set fire to the pyre. The flames quickly rose. British police came because under the law of the empire for years that this practice is prohibited and punished, but all the police efforts were in vain, against the opposition of that fanatical crowd. The victim resisted

long time between the flames and finally collapsed. Then it was submerged in the waters of the "sacred river", which is the Ganges, without releasing the body of her husband.

was taken from the waters, and thus prevent choking, but she would not resign, despite being horribly burned, to consummate the sacrifice, and did not want to remove the embers of the fire. There he continued and after three days, during which he was frequently visited, to believe it a heroine of the "sute", that is the voluntary sacrifice, died. Everyone tried to take pieces of their clothes and relics, as they are considered sacred objects.

Having seen a show banned, were also processed seventeen other personas.-Reuter.

THE TRADITION OF SATI (SUTE) IN INDIA

SATI ( Su-Thi) is the traditional Hindu in which a widow is sacrificed for her husband's funeral pyre.

A woman who dies in the fire burning her husband's funeral is considered more virtuous, and is believed to go straight to heaven, will redeem all the ancestors who are rotting in hell for this "act of merit" . The woman who committed Sati is revered as a god, and temples built in his memory.

Sati prevalent among certain sects of society in ancient India, which considered a great honor to die on the funeral pyres of their husbands. Ibn Batuta (1333 AD) noted that Sati was considered praiseworthy by the Hindus, without it being mandatory. The Agni Purana declares that the woman who commits sahagamana goes to heaven. However, Medhatiti is said that Sati was like suicide and against the Shastras, the Hindu code of conduct.

Maha-sati (hero stones) were erected in memory of those brave women who committed sati and periodically they adored. There are not many cases of marriage of widows in the history of India and believed that women preferred death to the cursed life of a widow

Women who did Sati were immortalized in India. His praises were sung and temples were built for them. Offerings are made to many memories, even after several decades later.

Many say that the wife has committed Sati by the enormous love for her husband so they can be together after death, but are not historically grounded. They are a large number of satisfaction in the aftermath of the war, when women have to die to protect their honor from the invading enemies after his men were killed in the battlefield.

Indigenous leader Rajaram Mohan Roy, through his organization Brahmo Samaj was among the first who fought to remove Sati. The rite of sati was banned by the British Government in 1829. In modern times, there are reports of a Sati in Rajasthan (late 1980), and one in Madhya Pradesh (in 2002), which caused much controversy and unrest.
