Meet a Saucer Victim

Detroit Free Press, May 27, 1966


This is a 1966 Detroit Free Press Friday lead-in from Mort Persky, Editor, to their Sunday Magazine feature on Laura Mundo entitled, Laura Mundo, of Dearborn, Earth - And the Visitors From Venus which I will post in its entirety in the next post.

Dear Readers:

The lady's name is Laura Mundo, and these days - by her own admission - she is "hiding out" in a friend's apartment in Dearborn Heights. She is hiding out because her interest in flying saucers, added to her theories on their occupants, made her quite unpopular with some of her neighbors on Dearborn's Carlysle Street.

The story of Laura Mundo and her planetary musings appears in this week's issue of the Free Press Sunday magazine, DETROIT, along with other stories about Detroiters whom you may already know.

There is also a mention in the last paragraph of the preview which states:

Back on the subject of flying saucers, Fran Hills [sic] of Adrian reports on one bartender's view of the saucer riders.

The article is included here and involves a bartender named BT who claimed to have seen both a UFO and aliens in the Lost Nations area of Hillsdale County, Michigan in the summer of 1965. He describes the craft as "saucer-shaped and glowing." He described the "spacemen" as looking just like humans except bigger and more handsome. The saucer's arrival and departure were said to have been instantaneously there and then not there and their exit and entrance from the saucer was similar as they simply appeared outside and likewise disappeared back inside. BT claimed that they were trying to save humanity from the atomic bomb. He was reluctant to tell anybody for the obvious reasons of preserving his reputation as a sane person.
