In his Kansas City news conference late last week, the President declared with accuracy: "There has never been any doubt in my mind, nor President Sadat's, nor Premier Begin's, that one of the premises for the Camp David negotiations was a comprehensive peace settlement." In fact, the President continued, Begin himself had said that he did not seek merely a separate peace treaty.

Strong supporting evidence came from U.S. Forest Service records, which showed that there were in fact several severe spruce budworm infestations in forests near Roosevelt just before the UFO outbreaks. Thus, the budworm moths, having feasted on the trees and flying in well-defined swarms that may have measured miles across, could have been on nocturnal migrations when the people of Roosevelt began seeing those strange, dancing lights. Indeed, as the moths hovered and blinked overhead, while trying to escape atmospheric electric fields on certain stormy nights, they might well have resembled what the scientists call a great "free-floating...
