First Contact(s)	Elary J. Willsie

Renton was an Alpha Centauri UFO contact first claimed by Elary J. Willsie, Gabriel Green's 1960 presidential campaign manager and long-time AFSCA associate, and later by Green and others. Of note, the space-man Renton was credited with providing UFO International with blurry photos of a flying saucer, the low quality attributed to magnetic fields and force-fields produced by the craft;^[1] in the same issue the photo was printed, Renton was further reported to have followed Gordon Cooper's Faith 7 spacecraft as it made its orbits around the earth during May 1963 in his flying saucer.

Renton was described by Green as "very authoritative," in a manner "kind of like Capt. Kirk on 'Star Trek'," despite being only four feet in height.^[2] Green further claimed that Renton had taken meetings with President John F. Kennedy at the White House and related that the Kennedy family were avid readers of the AFSCA newsletters.^[3]

We were told that the reason for the indistinct quality of the picture is that it was taken through the magnetic field of Renton's own ship, as well as through the force-field of the craft in the picture, which doubly distorted the light."
