1 A report on the case of Captain Mantell, now become a classic, speaks of the UFO’s resemblance to a “tear drop”, and says it behaved like a fluid. Cf. Harold T. Wilkins, Flying Saucers on the Moon, London (no date), p. 90.

3 The phallus is not a sign that indicates the penis. It is a “symbol” because it has so many other meanings.

4 Dionysus, for instance, was invoked as enkolpios: “he in the lap”.

5 Cf. Keyhoe, The Flying Saucer Conspiracy, pp. 138f.

6 Cf. “Brother Klaus”, Psychology and Religion, Coll. Works, vol. 11.

7 Neither is there any proof that they are “only” psychic!

8 Here I must beg the reader to eschew the popular misconception that this background is “metaphysical”. This view is a piece of gross carelessness of which even professional people are guilty. It is far more a question of instincts which influence not only our outward behaviour but also the psychic structure. The psyche is not an arbitrary fantasy; it is a biological fact subject to the laws of life.

9 Sievers, Flying Saucers über Südafrika, p. 157, mentions Gerald Heard’s hypothesis that they are a species of bees from Mars (The Riddle of the Flying Saucers, London, 1950). Harold T. Wilkins, in Flying Saucers on the Moon, mentions a report on a “rain of threads”, supposed to come from unknown spiders.

11 Wilkins, p. 138.

12 The horror people feel for spiders has been vividly described by Jeremias Gotthelf in his story, The Black Spider (London, 1958).

13 “The dog dreams of food, the fisherman of fish.”

14 Cf. the Cabiri scene in Faust; Psychology and Alchemy, pp. 148ff.

15 Cf. Aniela Jaffé’s Geistererscheinungen und Vorzeichen (Zürich, 1958), which investigates strange occurrences among modern people for their mythological content.

16 Swiss-German expression for the nightmare or stable spook.

17 I am indebted to Dr. H. Y. Kluger, Los Angeles, for this material.

18 When the shadow, the inferior personality, is in large measure unconscious, the unconscious is represented by a masculine figure.

19 Cf. Keyhoe, The Flying Saucer Conspiracy.

20 Journey into the Self, New York, 1956.
