...story that set off the Beacon's hunt had appeared on its front page the day before. In nearby Pittsburg, Kans., a radio performer named Bill Squire reported that on his way to work he saw a machine about 75 ft. long, hovering 10 ft. above the ground, which looked as if it consisted of two large platters cupped together and ringed with small propellers. Squire said he got out of his car, walked to within 100 ft. of the saucer, saw bluish lights through portholes, and observed several figures moving inside the ship which looked like "human beings...

Decked out in his fanciest uniform, bloated Hermann Göring was a crashing symphony in green, armed with a spear. Playing Germany's clown prince of the hunt, Reichsjägermeister Göring used to lay down his obsolete weapon, take up a rifle and waddle to a platform erected in the forest. There, he would wait for his beaters to maneuver deer within near-pointblank range. Out among the trees, deep-throated horns would toot calls signaling each stage of the hunt (the sighting of a stag, the shot, the finding of the carcass). Because...
