We've got reports from NICAP. We've got judges demanding the samples of the evidence. We've got
[0:03:06 - 0:03:14] ▶
but also the NICAP and APRO files, nowhere to be found are the drawings that Joe Simonton himself
[0:06:14 - 0:06:23] ▶
to County Judge Frank W. Carter. On April 21st, Carter forwarded that specimen to NICAP
[0:13:27 - 0:13:36] ▶
in Washington for laboratory analysis. And NICAP is actually pretty interesting. So it's one of the
[0:13:36 - 0:13:42] ▶
Kehoe, who became the most public face of the organization. NICAP stands for National Investigations
[0:14:04 - 0:14:10] ▶
Committee on Aerial Phenomenon. It should also be noted that NICAP helped fund the Condon Committee,
[0:14:10 - 0:14:16] ▶
April 18th, 1961. And this is the report given to NICAP at the time. This is from Mrs. Paul Cooper
[0:14:37 - 0:14:47] ▶
County judge Frank W. Carter. And then on April 21st, Carter forwarded that specimen to NICAP in
[0:16:49 - 0:16:56] ▶
Meanwhile, Judge Carter took the pancakes and sent them out for analysis to NICAP.
[0:27:15 - 0:27:24] ▶
Now, NICAP has to do damage control.
[0:27:24 - 0:27:27] ▶
But he was a board member of NICAP.
[0:28:35 - 0:28:38] ▶
One was consumed by Joe and the other was sent to Charles Maney of NICAP and BSRA.
[0:28:45 - 0:28:53] ▶
So Charles Maney, who is going to be testing this, gets orders from NICAP to literally get rid of this thing.
[0:28:53 - 0:29:01] ▶
NICAP urges Charles Maney to write a letter and send the sample to the FDA, the Food and Drug Administration.
[0:29:15 - 0:29:23] ▶
I told them NICAP was highly skeptical due to the nature of the report, but that we would make an attempt to analyze it and check up on the report.
[0:29:50 - 0:29:59] ▶
and requested the pancake sample from NICAP for government testing.
[0:31:37 - 0:31:41] ▶
We now have a letter on May 2nd from Major Kehoe at NICAP to Alexander Mabain.
[0:37:43 - 0:37:49] ▶
And this is a letter to Major Donald E. Kehoe, director of NICAP in Washington.
[0:39:57 - 0:40:02] ▶
Because you represent the NICAP as a national investigating committee.
[0:41:45 - 0:41:49] ▶
So it seems like Frank Carter is a member, at least, or some type of subscriber to NICAP,
[0:42:19 - 0:42:25] ▶
and pays NICAP to, I guess, get information.
[0:42:25 - 0:42:29] ▶
You know, Judge Carter sent it in confidence to NICAP.
[0:42:37 - 0:42:40] ▶
NICAP then sends it to, you know, the FDA, trying to wash their hands clean of this.
[0:42:40 - 0:42:45] ▶
We now have, on May 9th, the reply from NICAP to Judge Frank Carter.
[0:42:46 - 0:42:53] ▶
Sincerely yours, Richard Hall of NICAP.
[0:46:27 - 0:46:29] ▶
The cakes were sent to NICAP, but Simonton himself seemed inclined to let the story die.
[0:47:36 - 0:47:42] ▶
This is getting really complicated, but essentially, Charles Maney, who was the guy at NICAP who was told that he should look into it,
[0:47:56 - 0:48:07] ▶
It was then sent to Richard Hall, the secretary at NICAP.
[0:48:16 - 0:48:21] ▶
Part of the reason for the above outburst is that we know Ray Palmer and Judge Carter are planning a double-barreled assault on NICAP, Ree Simonton, yada, yada, yada.
[0:49:41 - 0:49:51] ▶
Also on June 29, 1961, this is a letter to Judge Carter from Richard Hall of the secretary of NICAP,
[0:50:06 - 0:50:17] ▶
but other matters of more basic importance to us, chiefly a fight for survival of NICAP, have taken priority.
[0:50:28 - 0:50:34] ▶
Since you and a few other NICAP members in Wisconsin doubt our judgment and motives in this matter,
[0:50:34 - 0:50:39] ▶
The second pancake was sent by Judge Carter to NICAP in Washington,
[0:57:13 - 0:57:17] ▶
he returned the specimen to NICAP.
[0:57:29 - 0:57:31] ▶
the secretary of NICAP, saying,
[0:58:59 - 0:59:01] ▶
and that the judge stated that he had sent some material to Donald Kehoe and NICAP.
[1:01:07 - 1:01:12] ▶
Major Friend felt it would be advisable to learn more what the actual situation was before NICAP built a big story out of this.
[1:01:12 - 1:01:19] ▶
The judge admitted membership in NICAP,
[1:07:44 - 1:07:46] ▶
The presence of the NICAP judge in the picture
[1:12:29 - 1:12:32] ▶
on my feelings towards NICAP Major Kehoe,
[1:13:52 - 1:13:54] ▶
that NICAP was attempting
[1:13:56 - 1:13:57] ▶
towards the efforts of NICAP.
[1:14:10 - 1:14:12] ▶
he was a member of NICAP,
[1:14:37 - 1:14:38] ▶
a paying member of NICAP,
[1:14:38 - 1:14:39] ▶
