Silas Newton

Oilman and promoter, Frank Scully's main source. As 'Scientist X' at the University of Denver on 8 March 1950 he described a 99.99 ft saucer with 16 crew landed within 500 miles of Denver. He and Leo GeBauer were convicted in 1953 of swindling Herman Flader over a 'doodlebug' oil detector. A handwritten testament shown to Karl Pflock in 1998 says Newton was visited by two representatives of a highly secret US government entity.
