Tony has actually held in his hand a disc-shaped object which he was convinced was a remote-controlled flying saucer - the object which fell on Silpho Moor in Yorkshire - its internal mechanism was smashed beyond recognition (possibly deliberately) but it contained a message seemingly in a phonetic code. The weight and working of the copper it was made from precluded a hoax, because it would have been far too expensive to make. As he would dearly have loved it to be in the exhibition he planned, the disc is the star exhibit in the Flying Saucers gallery.
He also goes into the contact of Dan Fry in some detail, a rocket scientist of the fifties who claimed to have travelled from White Sands to New York in a flying saucer, and brought back interesting information from his contactors. He also describes information derived from a number of other contact claims, on such subjects as the speed of light, magnetic currents, nullifying mass, and binding forces. There is also a song received in a communication by Bernard Byron which seems to give an insight into a language spoken by the extraterrestrials - words occur in it which were independently obtained by others and the result is the translation of enough words in the song to deduce that it is about the building of a spaceship.
Also in this gallery is "Earth People, Space People", a collection of the main contact claims of the 1950s and some later ones. This was originally a book produced by Tony Wedd and various members of the STAR Fellowship, but it was never published and the manuscript was lost. The collection was re-prepared in electronic form and is part of this CD-ROM, accessible from the Flying Saucers gallery. It also includes "The Contactees Speak", in which several of the contactees describe their experiences.
As well as this, there is a description of a Flying Saucer board game devised by Tony, which he describes as "non-violent draughts"!
