This is interesting-what other univerity has a UFO collection?
(Mr. Jones is MUFON State Director for Ohio
& CUFOS Board of Directors)

anyway, if you ever want to research UFOs. this
would be a good starting point-books,magazines, journals. (Nothing is on-line=see Napster for more sources).

But here's a very curious 'story' from William E. Jones on-line:

Four Aliens Kept by Government in Large Glass Tubes

William E. Jones writes, "I thought your readers should be aware of the Cordell Hull story that alien artifacts were in our hands in 1939." In early December of 1999 the Center of UFO Studies received a letter from the daughter of the Reverend Turner Hamilton Holt: "Today I want to share some knowledge that has been, by request, kept secret in our family since sometime in World War II. This concerns something my father was shown by his cousin Cordell Hull, the Secretary of State under Franklin Roosevelt. Snip My father, who was young, brilliant, and sound of mind, told us this story because he didn't want the information to be lost.
One day when my father was in D.C,. Cordell swore him to secrecy and took him to a sub-basement in the U.S. Capitol building, and showed him an amazing sight:

(1) Four large glass jars holding 4 creatures unknown to my father or Cordell [and],
(2) A wrecked round craft of some kind nearby.

"My father wanted my sister and I to make this information known long after he and Cordell were dead, because he felt it was a very important bit of information. We have researched your group {Mufon} and feel it is the most reliable group in the country. We hope that you will research and search this information. The jars with creatures in formaldehyde and the wrecked craft are some where! "Cordell said they were afraid they would start a panic if the public found out about it." Lucile Andrew, Ashland, Ohio.
======

The letter was written to CUFOS ("To whom it may concern") November 29, 1999.

It seems the sisters were contacted and interviewed and various writings of Cordell Hull and Rev. Holt were searched. Only these two sisters and their 'testimony' supports this 'story'. Nothing from Cordell Hull(Rosevelt's Sec of State-Nobel Peace Prize), and nothing 'really' from Rev. Holt...

But Here's the 'rub'--it's pretty much the same 'story' over and over again.
Real "Witnesses" that never 'talk'.

'some' old guys are coming forward--but what about all the 'witnesses' alluded to by Gordon Cooper and Edgar Mitchell?
When are they going to talk!? You'd think by now they could parade down Pennsylvania Ave...

Kind of off topic, but anyone remember the 'Ghost in a Jar' thing on Ebay several months ago? That thing got sooo many hits and bids before Ebay pulled it. lol, fun stuff.

First of all, I want to thank you for sharing this interesting information about the William E. Jones UFO Collection at The Ohio State University Libraries. It's fascinating to see that a university has a collection dedicated to UFOs and it speaks to the growing interest and research in this field.

Now, onto the topic of the 4 'aliens' in jars and Cordell Hull. While it's certainly intriguing to think about the possibility of these creatures being in our possession since 1939, I have to approach this with a healthy dose of skepticism.

Firstly, the only evidence we have for this story is the letter from Lucile Andrew, which was written in 1999. That's a long time after these supposed events took place and it's possible that memories may have been distorted or embellished over time.

Secondly, it's curious that there is no other documentation or testimony to support this story. No records from Cordell Hull or Rev. Holt, no other witnesses coming forward. It's hard to believe that such a significant event would have no other evidence to back it up.

And finally, as you mentioned, there are many stories and claims made by supposed witnesses that have yet to be substantiated. Until there is concrete evidence or multiple credible witnesses, it's hard to take these stories at face value.

That being said, I do believe that there is still much we don't know about the universe and the possibility of extraterrestrial life. But we must approach these claims with a critical eye and rely on solid evidence before accepting them as truth.

Thank you for bringing this to my attention and for providing the links to further explore this topic. It's always important to keep an open mind and continue to research and learn about the unknown.
