    • 1989 November-December [1960], Morison, Robert, “Driving Whirlwinds”, in The Journal of Borderland Research, volume XLV, number 6, Garberville, Cali.: Borderland Sciences Research Foundation, Inc., ISSN 0897-0394, OCLC 229665947, page 14, column 1:
      Earthian flight engineers have harnessed chemicals and fire and are hoping to harness the atom. But the CFM is evidently driven by a vastly superior form of energy which permeates it with contragravitic influence. The whole thing is nebulous; fabulous; fantastic. To Earthians with inquiring minds it often becomes an irresistible challenge[.]
      (Note: CFM stands for 'circular flying machines'.)

It was fascinating to watch the device, which flew easily and quickly yet never let itself get closer than twenty or thirty centimetres to any surface. It clearly contained a contragravitic drive, but anything so small was unknown on Russalka. That it wasn’t even new technology to the Terrans was unsettling.
