"Flying saucers exist and represent at least 10 &percent; of the craft observed in the sky," stated Professor Hermann Oberth, a German rocket specialist, during a lecture given in Hamburg.
He added that, in his opinion, these craft may contain crews of beings similar to humans, and he proposed the term "Uranides" to refer to these unknown entities.
To explain why no "flying saucer" has yet crashed on Earth, the professor suggests that the pilots may have perfect mastery of their machines and that, for reasons beyond human understanding, they may not desire any contact with Earth creatures.
