he owner of this print is Mladen Grohovac, a Fuller Brush salesman and amateur astronomer who serves as an official of the Montreal UFO Study Group.
Grohovac obtained the photo from Gordon Beatty, an 80-year-old member of the same group, who says he got it from a Montreal astronomer and economist named Carl O'Dell, since deceased. "I don't know what to think of the picture," says Beatty.
"But I believe that creatures from other worlds are visiting Earth."'
More Questions and a Renewed Interest
I was stunned when I read this short article about my favourite 'Martian' photo.
I'd never come across a print article (or even an Internet article for that matter) that discussed this photo in depth. It's always been short little notes to the effect that this photo is real or this photo is a fake. But who published this article and when?
Well, judging from Hoover's letter, the article was probably published in 1966 or 1967.
As for who published it, another document at Library and Archives Canada leads me to believe that MACLEAN'S did, however I can't be 100% positive on that.
Regardless, this new find tweaked my interest and renewed my interest to find out more
about the history and truth behind this fascinating alien photograph...
