---

On Friday mornings we leave our bodies and travel back in time to stand on the bridge of the Apollo with L. Ron Hubbard, circa 1968-1971, to watch the Commodore run Scientology as he sailed the Mediterranean and Atlantic.

We have an excellent set of excerpts from Hubbard's shipboard dispatches this week, but we ran into a bit of a snag when we went looking for our other Friday morning feature, "OT Phenomena" — stories of superhuman Scientology abilities from old copies of Advance! magazine.

It turns out, editor Jefferson Hawkins left out the very popular OT Phenomena in some of the issues we're looking through now, in 1978. But then, in Issue 55, from November/December, we spotted something monumental that we can't wait to share with you.
