Magazine Overview

Title: AFSCA WORLD REPORT
Issue: No. 10
Date: July - August 1959
Publisher: Amalgamated Flying Saucer Clubs of America, Inc.
Price: 35¢ per copy

This issue marks a significant transition for the publication, formerly known as 'Thy Kingdom Come,' as it adopts a new name and format to better serve the growing public interest in flying saucers. The magazine aims to provide the latest and most interesting developments on the saucer scene, featuring articles by world authorities and covering all phases of the subject.

Editorial: Gabriel Blows His Horn

Editor Gabriel Green announces the rebranding of the publication to 'AFSCA World Report,' emphasizing a 'new look' and approach to cater to a broader audience interested in the flying saucer subject. This change is driven by the success of the First National AFSCA Convention and the accelerating public interest. The monthly publication promises more timely news than bi-monthly counterparts. A new policy allows Flying Saucer Clubs to profit by selling the magazine, offering a 40% commission. Back issues of 'Thy Kingdom Come' are also available. Green expresses hope that the new format will be well-received and encourages readers to support AFSCA.

Following the convention, AFSCA headquarters received a flood of mail, indicating increased public interest and receptivity. To gauge the total worldwide influence of AFSCA, the organization requests cooperation in sending news clippings. AFSCA also made a significant media impact, with appearances on various TV and news report shows by Green, Daniel Fry, Kelvin Rowe, Dick Miller, George King, and others.

Green also notes that many reputable convention attendees reported 'contacts' with space beings, which he finds gratifying. He concludes by urging members to exert efforts in spreading the word about the 'Space People' and their message, viewing it as an obligation born from blessings received.

Convention Highlight

The First National Convention of the Amalgamated Flying Saucer Clubs of America, held at the Statler-Hilton Hotel in Los Angeles on July 11th and 12th, was declared an outstanding success, attracting 2,000 enthusiasts. The event featured 42 speakers discussing spacecraft phenomena. International interest was high, evidenced by extensive newspaper coverage. The 'Space People' were highlighted by a display of spacecraft over the Pacific Ocean on July 11th. Pan American Airways pilot Captain George Wilson reported sighting a UFO at 6 a.m. PDT, describing it as an intensely bright light followed by four smaller lights moving at high speed. Wilson, initially a skeptic, stated, "I'm a believer now." Four other aircraft in the area also sighted UFOs. The timing of this sighting coincided with the convention, generating significant media attention. AFSCA estimates over 100 news stories in Los Angeles County alone and potentially thousands worldwide.

AFSCA Mobile Unit Now in Operation

The AFSCA Mobile Unit, a bus owned and operated by Executive Vice-president Dick Miller, is now operational. Equipped with a radio-telephone, it can be dispatched immediately to activity sites. The bus is prominently marked with 'AFSCA,' aiming to draw attention to the subject and potentially foster belief in flying saucers among the public.

New Books

The magazine lists several new books available through AFSCA's Book Dept., including titles by Orfeo Angelucci, Addison Brown, Dana Howard, Gloria Lee, George W. Van Tassel, and Margaret Storm. These are offered as part of AFSCA's services, with orders to be sent to 2004 N. Hoover St., Los Angeles 27, California.

The Dick Miller Story (Part I)

This section begins the story of Dick Miller, presented as an outstanding young man in the field of space phenomena. The narrative, written by Mark Smith, details Miller's early life and experiences. It recounts an event in January 1948, when the author, then serving in the U.S. Air Force at Scott Field, Illinois, heard a radio transmission from Captain Charles Mantell. Mantell described chasing a metallic object of tremendous size, which was climbing higher and faster than his plane. His final transmission, "My God......I see people in this thing....." followed by silence, remains unexplained and is considered by the author to be the most important part of the pursuit. The author expresses his belief that Mantell's death was not an accident and has since been driven to study flying objects, leading to his own experiences and a desire for truth.

To Men of Earth

This article presents messages from beings identifying themselves as Korton from Mars (Masar) and Voltra from Venus. They explain their presence on Earth is due to interest in humanity's advancement in nuclear energy. They express concern over the destructive use of this power, the resulting atmospheric radiation from atomic tests, and the potential for planetary annihilation, citing instances where they had to neutralize hydrogen bombs to save Earth and the solar system. They also warn of impending topographical changes due to cosmic influences and the possibility of Earth flipping on its axis. They offer a 'green fireball' device, used since 1947, capable of neutralizing atmospheric radiation.

Outstanding Personalities - George Hunt Williamson

This feature by Cleve Twitchell profiles George Hunt 'Ric' Williamson, an anthropologist and flying saucer lecturer, returning from a Peruvian excursion. His lectures, including "The City That Existed Before the Moon" and "Coming World Changes," delve into ancient civilizations and prophecies. Williamson's research at Tiahuanaco, Bolivia, suggests the city existed at sea level over 100,000 years ago under a moon that later collided with Earth, causing a global flood. He also researched the Uros Indians at Lake Titicaca and explored temples at Machu Picchu. Williamson's trip was also motivated by M.K. Jessup's work on UFOs; he visited Florida to see Jessup but arrived after his death, though he found Jessup's research sites in Peru.

News Clippings

Several newspaper clippings from various publications (Los Angeles Examiner, HP Journal, El Sereno Star, ER Sentinel, NE Star-Review, Daily News) highlight the AFSCA convention and related events. Daniel W. Fry, a former Aerojet technician, is featured for claiming to have ridden a spaceship. Other articles discuss the convention's speakers, including Fry, Gabriel Green, Kelvin Rowe, and George King, who share experiences with 'saucerites' and 'space people.' One clipping mentions a '7-mile-long ship' and another discusses a 'Missile Expert' speaking about flying saucers. A 'Rolling Hills Woman' claims a 'Space Man' wrote a book. The convention is described as a gathering of 2,000 flying saucer believers, with speakers offering advice from 'space people.'

Saucer Believers Aided From Space

This article reports on the AFSCA convention, where speakers claimed to receive advice from 'space people' on how to run the Earth. George King of the Aetherius Society relayed a transmission from 'Mars, Section Six,' which advised doing away with money systems to end wars and create an economy of plenty. Daniel Fry, a missile expert, shared his experiences with spacecraft, including a nine-year-old flight from White Sands to New York City in a saucer, which he described as a "real beauty."

Other News Clippings

Additional clippings cover topics such as "Mystery Lights 'Well Known' To Saucermen," "Space Immigrants Tell Tales of Flying Saucers," and "2,000 Hear About Life on Other Planets." One article mentions a "7-mile-long ship" sighted by airline pilots. Another discusses the possibility of a "true hydrogen explosion" that could disintegrate the planet, a warning allegedly from advanced technology that could help avert such dangers. The article also mentions a new cycle in the cosmos and potential changes to Earth's poles.

Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance

The recurring themes in this issue are the growing public interest in flying saucers, the activities and conventions of organizations like AFSCA, and the messages purportedly received from extraterrestrial beings. The editorial stance is strongly supportive of the flying saucer phenomenon, promoting the idea that 'space people' are benevolent beings offering guidance to humanity, particularly concerning nuclear technology and global harmony. The magazine actively promotes its own publication and membership, encouraging readers to engage with the subject and share their knowledge. There is a clear emphasis on the sincerity of 'contactees' and a belief in the importance of understanding and disseminating these messages for the betterment of mankind.

This issue of the AFSCA World Report, dated September 1959, is primarily focused on UFO-related communications, events, and personalities. It continues the 'Dick Miller Story,' details messages from entities claiming to be part of a 'Universal Confederation,' and announces upcoming conventions and available tape recordings of 'space communications.' The magazine also includes a section on 'Outstanding Personalities' and 'Coming Events,' highlighting lectures and books by authors in the field.

The Dick Miller Story (Continued)

The article details Dick Miller's efforts to establish contact with space craft via short-wave radio. He recounts the challenges, including the need for a government license and the prohibition of contacting unlicensed stations, which he assumes the space craft are. Miller describes listening for weeks without success, but then, on a typical Autumn evening near Ann Arbor, Michigan, while testing radio equipment with his business partner Don and friends Pete and Jim, he encountered an unusual signal. The signal was loud and powerful, accompanied by a hollow tone, and was followed by a voice speaking cultured English. The voice stated, 'Gentlemen......We estann your presence. Many serials have been gapped in order for us to speak with you. We have a knowledge of your group, we have a representative among you, our intentions towards you are friendly. If you continue to listen on this wave length in the future, we will have further messages for you.' The story is continued in the next issue.

To Men of Earth

This section features messages purportedly from space visitors. One message, attributed to 'Voltra,' discusses the concept of a 'Universal Confederation' composed of many planets and solar systems, functioning as a government that allows individual members freedom as long as their ultimate efforts serve others. Voltra states that Earth's civilization is on the verge of complete demolition but that the Confederation is attempting to thwart this. They claim to have millions of craft within 10,000 miles of Earth's surface, with over 10 million craft on Venus alone. Voltra assures that their intentions are friendly and they do not wish to take over Earth's government, but rather to share scientific and cultural advancements. They mention that Earth's achievements in evolution and technology are nearing a point where membership in the Confederation might be possible. Voltra also notes that not all space people are friendly and that some have achieved space travel and visited Earth in the past, with landings becoming imminent as certain conditions on Earth develop.

Another message, also from Voltra, Adonai, and Vassu, extends greetings to the people of Earth and expresses a desire for friendship and information exchange. They mention that overt acts of aggression have not been committed and that accidental crashes have not been deliberately caused. They anticipate returning soon to dispel doubts about their intentions and to present topics of interest.

Arthur C. Thomas contributes a piece titled 'A Coming Age of Leisure and Plenty,' envisioning a future world free from drudgery, poverty, and crime, where humans are 'Super men' guided by wisdom and a passion for the common good, living in a world at peace.

Outstanding Personalities

This section highlights George Hunt Williamson, author of several books on UFOs and related topics, including 'The Saucers Speak' and 'Other Tongues-Other Flesh.' It notes his inclusion in various 'Who's Who' publications and his recognition for scientific research and explorations in Peru. The article also mentions Ric (presumably George Hunt Williamson) photographing rock sculptures in Florida made by a European refugee who believed in life on other planets. It details Williamson's speaking engagements in California on topics like 'The City That Existed Before the Moon' and 'Coming World Changes.'
