The strange tale of Lieutenant Tom Preston is perhaps all the more mysterious as Tom Preston is a false name. According to UFO research and author, Walter N. Webb, who would take the account in 1984, Preston still felt the need to prwotect his identity despite the events he would speak of taking place over two decades earlier in 1963. Furthermore, as these reports, and many like them, came to light as whistle-blowers volunteered information and government files became declassified, possible links began to suggest themselves to other such cases. Indeed, isolated instances began to look more and more like a bigger picture that requires solving.

    Look at the second,closer pic of the Maslin Beach UFO. Doesn’t the ‘window’ look a bit of crooked,or not perfectly square, almost as if it was carelessly cut-out from cardboard or something? Look at it,and once you see this you won’t be able to un-see it.
    Also,wouldn’t round ‘windows’ allow the hull to be much stronger,like on a boat ? I call ‘baloney’ on the Maslin photos.
