are official records of UFO objects. By 1969 Project Blue Book had recorded reports
of 12,618 events of this kind, each of
which was classified as "identified" with a known astronomical, atmospheric, or
artificial phenomenon, or as "unidentified," including cases in which there was not
enough information The only other official and complete records were made in Can-
ada. According to the Canadian records, there were about 750 in the late 1960s. Less-
complete records have been made in Great Britain, Sweden, Denmark, Australia, and
Greece.

George Washington Carver, the Farther of National Products
a) Many scientists thought of Carver more as an unreal person than as a contribu-
tor to scientific knowledge. Many of his contemporaries were critical of him and his
work. It was strange for them that this small, soft-spoken, modest man, eccentric in
dress and manners, never thought of pleasures and rewards in this life. But these
qualities were admired by many people and Carver became a comfortable symbol of
the intellectual achievements of black Americans.
b) Then Carver left Iowa for Alabama to direct the newly organized department
of agriculture at the Tuskegce Institute, a school headed by the noted black American
educator Booker T. Washington. There Washington was trying to improve the life of
black Americans through education. Though Carver was offered many jobs in other
places, he stayed at Tuskegee all his life.
In 1896 Carver became the institute's director of agricultural research. He devoted
his time to research projects aimed at helping Southern agriculture, demonstrating
ways in which fanners could improve their economic situation. At this time agricul-
ture in the South was in serious trouble because of the exhausted and worthless fields.
It was then that Carver decided to plant peanuts which could restore the lands. Carver
found that Alabama's lands were particularly good for peanuts and sweet potatoes,
but when the fanners began to cultivate these crops instead of cotton, they found little
demand for them on the market. To solve this problem. Carver began to work on his
programme 'how to grow peanuts' and make laboratory research. In the result, he de-
veloped 300 products from peanuts — among them cheese, milk, coffee, plastics,
wood, soap, linoleum, medicinal
oils, and cosmetics — and 118 from sweet potatoes, including flour, vinegar, rub-
ber, ink, and others.
c) Today you can hardly meet a person who has never eaten peanuts or who just
doesn't know what they are. But thinking about peanuts you will never think about
