Edwards, Frank. Are our satellites hunting the saucers? Fate, v. 16, May 1963:
29-35.
Within the 24-month period following 1947-1948 appearance of UFOs in the re-
gion of the South Pole, Argentina, Chile, Austr.;lia, F1·ance, Great Britain,
the United States, Sweden, and the Soviet Union sent expeditions to the Antarctic.
Tangible developments were (1) motion and still pictures of disc-shaped ob~ects
that circled ships under Chilean commander Orrego; and (2) realization tl•:it ob-
jects presumably entered earth's atmosphere at polar r1o>gions for a reason. On
March 2, 1958, telemetry from Explorer satellites confirmed existence of zone
of intense radiation - Van \lien belt - encircling earth about 6JO miles out from
equator. There- is no such belt above either of the polar regions.
