Paul Hagbolt and Margo Gelhorn began to listen to what the &039;s hopes and fears, his deepest agitations, will always color what he sees in the skies - whether it&039;s a plane or a planet or a ship from another world, or only a corpuscle of his own blood Put it this way: every saucer is also a sign"
