As a writer specializing in strangeness, John naturally received many strange letters. Here, for example, is a letter sent to Saga in October, 1968, from someone claiming to represent a group called VOK, “which is an acronym.” The subject of UFOs was then, as always, filled with hoaxes, pranks, and misinformation. I don’t know who was behind VOK, or if the story went further than this letter.


Well written letter. Makes you wonder what if the history of mankind is just an observation of a planetary petri dish?
