On July 29, 1958, an Associated Press writer in Alamogordo, New Mexico, read an abridged version of Carl Jung's 1954 letters on UFOs in the APRO Bulletin as a statement that the psychologist believed them extraterrestrial; the story ran on page one of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch and the next day in the New York Times.
Background
An Associated Press writer in Alamogordo, New Mexico, saw an abridged version of Carl Jung's 1954 letters on UFOs, reprinted in the July 1958 APRO Bulletin, and concluded that the psychologist believed them to be extraterrestrial in origin. The St. Louis Post-Dispatch carried the story on its front page on July 29 under the headline that flying saucers are real and show signs of guidance, and the New York Times followed on July 30. Eberhart describes the AP reading as a jump to a conclusion; according to the cited UFO Investigator, Jung subsequently set the record straight. The account follows the entry in George M. Eberhart's chronology UFOs and Intelligence (CUFOS) and the sources cited there; it is not an independent determination by From Beyond Space.
