1946-08-16 Ghosts in the air (Newspaper Article)

The sky has always been a playground for the most haunting fantasies. Once upon a time the poor human beings were sweating in anguish and horror at ordinary solar eclipses. The sunlight went out and the humans were shaking from fear.&nbsp; When the moonlight went out, it was believed to foretell harsh accidents. Once in a while a meteor or comet crossed the skies, a star fell, they said, and in that case it was believed to carry important messages. But that was before the age of science. When later investigations began to measure the skies and approach its might, mankind took these celestial signs with ease. Solar eclipses became natural occurrences with a primarily scientific value and a curious sight. But far into our time less than scrupulous missionaries used the mystery of the solar and lunar eclipses to scare the wild heathens into Christianity.

Now, the heavens are haunted again. This time, there&#39;s a new kind of apparitions, of a more serious nature for mankind. The celestial wizardry of the Almighty rarely had a serious impact.&nbsp; Nacreous clouds, sun dogs and shooting stars were strange things to witness, but didn&#39;t have much of an effect to the human order. One saw, horrified or wondering. Then there was nothing more to it. When scientists tamed the lightning, this violent acts of the gods wasn&#39;t just explained but also disarmed. The hauntings had lost most of their effect.

But now humans themselves have taken on the hauntings. It&#39;s not just that a pilot can write &quot;Greetings to Maria&quot; in the sky or as in America advertise a good whiskey or a new bubble gum with the sky as a billboard, a modern celestial magic show.&nbsp; It can also transmit the sound on the ether waves, and from one continent to another sing love songs to Maria on a device on her table. If only the hauntings were of this idyllic nature! Then all this technological wizardry would be a blessing and a joy to all of us. But when people receive a new tool in his hand it must be tried out for destruction.

And now the skies are constantly haunted. People see strange cigar shaped objects with fire-breathing rears. Radio delivers news, newspapers put out immense headlines, people discussed the occurrences and the fear spread. In England it has been found out that many more people have nervous breakdowns after the war than during it. This is the new peace! And science split atoms and shake the entire world with the power of the new explosive.

What do thunder and solar eclipses have to do with this? Nothing. Now it&#39;s mankind itself taking care for the hauntings in the sky. Our Lord was in his time a mild and amusing humorist, putting on ghostshows just for dramatic effect. Mankind is now taking on the skies. And destruction is the main goal. Now earth&#39;s creatures can start fearing for real.

The rocket driven planes cross each other in the skies. Before they were regular ghost fliers with sharp-eyed cameras between the wings. Now research is taken further, and seek to fulfill the destructive effect. Most of the hauntings in the skies are probably just natural phenomena. But mankind fears now more than ever. She distrust herself, and can&#39;t trust inventions in her own hands.

But far above the skies, where todays hauntings take place, lies the ether, the boundless and unimaginable with countless other worlds, where mankind may not exist, and peace prevails. There Our Lord continues to rule as he did long before the technology of mankind. What does the little earth tens of millions of kilometers away from the millions of suns of the Milky Way matter? One day its creatures may blow themselves to pieces just for the satisfaction of taking part in the wizardry. Earth is gone. But the stars keep glowing and the sun turns its face towards other more grateful planets. Then the hauntings have ended for our part.
