Nobel Prize winner Dr. Linus Pauling -physicist, chemist and controversial
advocate of Vitamin C therapy- was a secret UFO researcher who
authored intriguing confidential studies on the flying saucer phenomena.
Recently acquired information also reveals that Pauling may have
provided his technical expertise to Battelle Memorial Institute in the study
of Roswell-like memory metal in the years after the crash!

Emerging research reveals that Pauling was intensely studying UFOs and
that he had a special relationship with Battelle- a research and
development contractor known to have been active in UFO study through
its work with the USAF's Project Blue Book. Battelle has also been
implicated in the study of the Roswell UFO crash debris "memory metal."
Battelle's involvement in the debris analysis has been previously reported
in articles by this author archived on the UFO Iconoclasts website. It is
now known that Pauling was invited by Clyde Williams, the Director of
Battelle at the time of the Roswell crash, to discuss "intermetallics" - a
class of materials which are the basis for "shape memory" alloys!

PAULING'S VITAMIN C DISCOVERY

Pauling is most well-known by the general public for his
advocacy of high doses of Vitamin C to help lessen the
duration and severity of the common cold. Today millions
consume the vitamin for the prevention and treatment of
colds and in the improvement of health.

Pauling personally consumed 3 grams of Vitamin C every day
of his adult life. He died in 1994 at the age of 93. Pauling
believed that an adjunctive cancer therapy could be found in
mega-doses of Vitamin C delivered by IV. In 2007, the
National Academy of Science in its journal Proceedings
vindicated Pauling. The journal reported that cancer survival
rates were substantially improved with IV-delivered Vitamin
C. Phase I Clinical Trials are expected to begin shortly.
FROM WAR SCIENTIST TO PEACENIK

Holding Top Secret clearance during WW II, Pauling advanced military research and development in ways that are only
now being discovered. When WW II began, Dr. Pauling offered the U.S. Government the use of his laboratory and
services as an R&D consultant. He devised many inventions for our defense departments including life-safety
systems, explosives and missile propellants.

However Pauling -with his belief in ET clearly established, as shown in the next section of this article- then abruptly
eschewed his military R&D work in favor of becoming a vocal peace advocate. He championed nuclear disarmament
and was an opposer of the militarization of outer space. Pauling was quoted, "It is my opinion that the militarization of
space is sheer folly." Pauling was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize in 1963.

LINUS PAULING'S GENIUS

A truly multi-disciplinary scientist, Pauling is distinguished as one of only
four individuals to have won multiple Nobel prizes.  He is the only
Dr. Linus Pauling
scientist to have ever been awarded his prizes without sharing it with another recipient. Named in the list of the "20
Greatest Scientists of All Time" by New Scientist magazine, Pauling held a PhD in Mathematical Physics and Physical
Chemistry from Caltech and also held degrees in Chemical Engineering.

Francis Crick, the co-inventor of the DNA model, was a close Pauling associate. Crick acknowledged Dr. Pauling as
one of the world's "greatest minds" and to be "The Father of Molecular Biology." Crick was also the architect of the
theory of "Directed Panspermia" which holds that the "seeds of life" were spread through the Universe through
extraterrestrial action. Crick -like his friend Linus Pauling- shared deep interest in intelligent life elsewhere in the
Universe.
in July of 1966. He marks these papers as "CONFIDENTIAL." It is unknown if these were private studies- or if Pauling
was conducting his analysis on the phenomena secretly on behalf of an agency or contractor of the U.S. Government.

Pauling examines several aspects of UFOs and offers ideas about the phenomena that were advanced many years
later by others. He explores "evidence of present-day observers," "a study of historical reports," and a "study of the
possibility that extraterrestrial sentient beings have been in contact with the earth over a long period of time."
Interestingly, he also alluded to the idea of Panspermia- a concept advanced by his friend, DNA discover Francis Crick,
years before Crick did so. Pauling envisions "the extraterrestrial origin of man and some or all of the organisms on
earth." Portions of these studies are shown below:

When Pauling died, it was discovered that he had maintained a massive library of UFO books. The archivist at Oregon
State University who now stores these volumes characterizes them as "well-worn." They include such titles as
Incident at Exeter, The Scientific Study of Unidentified Flying Objects and The Flying Saucer Story.

PAULING, BATTELLE AND THE ROSWELL MEMORY METAL

Leads that were acted on by this author and that were provided by UFO enthusiast Frank Stalter are very revealing. It
has been discovered that Pauling was a close friend of Clyde Williams, the Executive Director of Battelle Memorial
Institute in the 1940s and 1950s. Williams and Pauling shared a unique research interest in "intermetallics" which are
especially complex metal alloys that are associated with "shape memory" or the ability to "morph."

A personal calendar that Pauling maintained throughout his working life is also archived at the Oregon State University
library. The January 11, 1951 entry of Pauling's calendar refers to a letter that was received by Pauling on that date
from Battelle's Executive Director, Clyde Williams. During this precise time period, Williams' organization was
contracted by Wright Patterson Air Force Base to conduct scientific analysis on the UFO phenomenon in support of
the Air Force's Project Grudge (later Project Blue Book.)

Incredibly, Williams (who was Battelle's Director at the time of the UFO crash at Roswell) indicates in the letter that he
wanted to meet with Pauling (whose interest in UFOs was know at that time) because he "would like an opportunity to
visit with an old friend." Williams wanted to tap Pauling's needed expertise about the "principles of determining the
structure of intermetallic compounds." Dr. Pauling's genius apparently extended to exotic metals. Three years after
the Battelle letter requesting Pauling's analysis of intermetallic structures was received, Dr. Pauling would be awarded
the Nobel Prize in Chemistry. The prize was awarded for his "research into the nature of the chemical bond and its
application in the elucidation of complex substances." In fact by the 1950s, Pauling was thought to be the premier
materials chemist in the entire world.

Pauling's expertise in "intermetallics" may have profound implications. Intermetallics constitute a then-novel (and
highly unusual) class of materials. They are mostly compounds of metals whose crystal structures are different from
those of constituent metals. The best known representatives of intermetallics are the shape memory alloys (SMA's.)
Shape memory metal was reported as a "morphing material" found at the reported UFO crash at Roswell in 1947. The
best known of these shape-recovery materials is Nitinol. Nitinol has been historically traced by this author as having
its origins in Battelle studies that were contracted by Wright Patterson AFB, where the crash material was reportedly
flown to. These studies commenced immediately following the Roswell crash. See archived articles on the UFO
Iconoclasts website that detail these findings.

Pauling was at that time one of our nation's only experts on X-Ray crystallography. He had also developed
ground-breaking research in "quantum chemistry" - a branch of theoretical chemistry which straddles the border
between chemistry and physics. It is especially useful in determining unknown material and in characterizing the
phases of matter. It is clear from the Oregon State University archives of Pauling's work that Pauling had a prior
association with Battelle.

As an "old friend" of its Executive Director, Pauling likely had ties to Battelle extending back to the 1940s. His work in
the examination of crystalline structures and chemical technical analysis would have been very valuable in studying
intermetallics such as shape recovery metals. Pauling's strong professional interest in flying saucers makes this an
intriguing -and perhaps telling- connection to the UFO debris found at Roswell.
PAULING'S CONFIDENTIAL UFO STUDIES

Pauling's lifelong dedication to scientific discovery included the
intense study of the flying saucer phenomena and of
extraterrestrial intelligence. He believed it to be likely that we have
been visited by beings capable of interplanetary travel.

Within documents that were located in the Special Collections
library at Oregon State University (where Pauling earned a degree
in Chemical Engineering and where his papers are now archived)
are found portions of UFO studies by Pauling that he composed
Buried within the pages of Pauling's personal copy of the 1966 bestseller Flying
Saucers: Serious Business
(also archived at the Oregon State University library) is a
copy of a letter from Pauling to the President of the New Mexico Institute of Mining and
Technology that concerns UFO study. This letter was found folded into the section of
Frank Edwards' book that mentions the UFO crash at Roswell and includes the
statement, "There are such difficult cases as the rancher near Roswell, New Mexico..."

THE LINUS PAULING LEGACY

Linus Pauling -one of the most brilliant scientists in all history- was accomplished in
ways that we may never fully realize. Pauling is most well known for his work in Vitamin
C nutrition and improved human health. But perhaps it is his work on UFOs and exotic
metals - and his subsequent promotion of global and interplanetary peace- that may
well prove to be his greatest legacy.
