Ivan Sanderson wrote to John on Thanksgiving, 1966, to tell him that he’d just sighted a UFO. Well, it turned out to be something else; but the incident him to speculate on how we all respond when we’re “in the face of the marvellous.” I should warn you that he indulged in a couple of jokey racial and sexual slurs, which you may find offensive. But it’s vintage Sanderson anyway; and I may as well post it as he wrote it.
