...White and his fellow X-15 pilots, the greatest reward for their work is the satisfaction of probing the mysteries inside the sky. In last week's flight Bob White found a new mystery for scientists to puzzle over: through the X-15's thick left quartz window, he saw a strange sight. "There are things out there," he said dramatically over his voice radio. "There absolutely is."

Most famous is the 19th century Scotsman Daniel Dunglas Home, who set up a salon in Paris where he produced table rappings, voices, visions, and even floated out the window, and numbered among his fascinated visitors Trollope, Hawthorne, the Brownings, Napoleon III and his Empress Eugénie. With proper scientific detachment, Dingwall refuses to say whether these supernatural doings were real or imaginary; evidence points both ways.
