This issue of AFSCA WORLD REPORT, published by the Amalgamated Flying Saucer Clubs of America, Inc., presents a collection of articles and reports related to flying saucers, space people, and alternative societal and economic systems. The publication aims to educate the public and offer solutions to global problems.
Editorial: Flying Saucer Movement — Where Headed and How?
In an extract from a talk given by Editor Gabriel Green at the Northern California Spacecraft Convention, he addresses the critical state of the world, facing annihilation through nuclear war or other catastrophes. He posits that the Flying Saucer Movement has risen to provide answers and solutions, offering mankind a choice between "Paradise or Oblivion." The movement's primary role is seen as mass public education to correct "man's folly through ignorance." Green emphasizes that while modern technology allows for abundance, it is the people's actions, driven by the law of self-preservation, that will solve problems. He references "Prior Choice Economics," previously detailed in "THY KINGDOM COME" (Issue No. 6), as a key to solving these issues and fulfilling "non-destructive prophesies."

Outstanding Personalities — George King
Written by Cleve Twitchell, this section profiles George King, leader of The Aetherius Society of London, who is on a US tour. Known as "King George" in Southern California, he has gained a significant following. King participated in the AFSCA convention in Los Angeles and gave numerous public lectures on topics such as "Life on the Planets" and "How YOU Can Cooperate With the Flying Saucers." His lectures also covered yoga breathing exercises and "Transmissions" from "Space People." A key aspect of his teachings involves "The Great Plan," advocating prayer and meditation, and identifying "Holy Places" (mountains "charged" by Space People) for spiritual benefit. The article notes King's first American "Holy Place" was Mt. Baldy, California, where he led a pilgrimage.
The Dick Miller Story (Cont'd)
Part II of "The Dick Miller Story" by Mark Smith recounts a radio message received on September 15, 1954. The message, from an unknown source, indicated telepathic abilities and the capacity to "see our expressions." It also warned of "someone coming from the West." The author notes the unusual sentence structure, suggesting the speakers learned English from monitoring radio broadcasts. The message caused embarrassment and a realization of the need for mental control. Pete and Jim, members of the group, withdrew due to fear of publicity and religious objections, but Don and the author continued their investigation, believing they were on the verge of a significant discovery.
Special: Space People Destroyed Russian Rocket
This report claims that information received from outer space on September 14, 1959, revealed that the Russian Moon Rocket was destroyed by "intelligent beings manning spacecraft from other planets" at a distance of 190,000 miles from Earth. The reason cited was the presence of "active disease and virus bacteria" intentionally placed in the nose cone by the Russians to contaminate the Moon and deter future US activity. The report also suggests that Russia is focusing on magnetic propulsion technology for interplanetary travel, aiming to reach Mars, and that "Space People" do not allow destructive vehicles to contaminate space.
World Roundup of Flying Saucer News
- This section provides brief news items:
- Paris: Crew members of a Pan American flight reported sighting a high-altitude luminous object.
- Redmond, Oregon: A policeman and an FAA employee observed an unidentified flying object glowing with various colors and emitting flame bursts. Jet interceptors were dispatched, but the object vanished.
- London: A Soviet scientist predicted that earthlings will eventually meet beings from other worlds.
- Washington: A third belt of intense radiation, distinct from the Van Allen belts, was discovered by a satellite, starting 1,000 miles above Earth.
- Soviet Hint: Soviet Astronomer Felix Segal suggested the existence of intelligent life on other planets capable of space travel.
"Understanding" Opens Flying Saucer Reading Room
The organization "UNDERSTANDING," founded in 1955 by Daniel W. Fry (an AFSCA honorary officer), has opened a reading room in Pasadena, California, offering books, magazines, and tape recordings on flying saucers and metaphysics. The organization has 23 units across the US and in Canada.
Pleasanton Space Craft Convention Personalities
A photograph features speakers from the Northern California Space Craft Convention: Orfeo Angelucci, Otis T. Carr, Gloria Lee, and Reinhold O. Schmidt.
Space People Reported at AFSCA Convention
This section includes reports from letters by Elana Lane and Leo E. Wagner detailing experiences at the AFSCA convention. One account describes a man who disappeared instantly. Another describes a "figure in silvery white" that appeared and disappeared. The reports suggest that "space people" were present and performed "miraculously healed of severe ailments" without fanfare.
The Flying Saucer Movement Continued
This article discusses the need for better dissemination of information and evidence regarding flying saucers through conventions and improved public relations. It argues that the Flying Saucer subject is a "people's cause" and essential for "the Divine Plan for the evolution of our planet." The article also touches upon the potential for new age people to influence political office to enact legislation aligning with "Universal Law." It traces the movement's origins to about 12 years prior, when spacecraft first drew attention, stimulating consciousness about extraterrestrial life.
Advantages of Prior Choice Economics
This list outlines 25 advantages of "Prior Choice Economics," including automatic retirement, fair wages, free permanent insurance, elimination of taxes, guaranteed profits, 100% distribution of abundance, no decrease in purchasing power, an end to poverty and starvation, free medical and dental care, elimination of major motives for crime, free college education, cradle-to-grave economic security without slavery or dictatorship, preservation of free enterprise, enabling trade between nations, emancipation of women, four-day weekends, solving personal and national debt, unlimited financing for public projects, application of advanced technology without economic collapse, accelerated moral and spiritual development, establishment of Universal Brotherhood, world peace, and the restoration of representation in the Universal Confederation of Planets, leading to a "Kingdom of Heaven, Nirvana, Paradise, Utopia, or a non-destructive state of existance."
Outstanding Personalities — George King Continued
This continuation details George King's experiences, including his first contact with "Space People" in May 1954. He was told to prepare to become a "Voice of Interplanetary Parliament" and subsequently developed telepathic rapport with "Aetherius of Venus." King has received over 500 speeches from space intelligences and founded The Aetherius Society in London to share their teachings. He published the magazine "Cosmic Voice" and authored "The Twelve Blessings," described as a "New Age Bible."
The Book Corner: "Why We Are Here!" by Gloria Lee
This review discusses Gloria Lee's book, "Why We Are Here!," which claims to provide revelations about the purpose of human existence. The book was dictated to Lee by a "Being known only as J. W." The review highlights Lee's diverse experiences, including learning to fly and working as an airline stewardess. Her initial contact with the Being from Jupiter occurred in 1953. The book reportedly addresses what is wrong with Earth, why scientists won't reach the moon, topics of God and the universe, and future possibilities. The AFSCA WORLD REPORT staff has reviewed and approved it as "MUST" reading.
Further Confirmation of Rocket Destruction
This report, dated September 17, 1959, through Channel Elana Lane (Machino speaking), confirms the previous message about the destruction of the Russian moon missile. The destruction was due to bacilli in the nose cone, preventing contamination of the Moon. The message urges those in high office to consider this information for peace and evolved existence.
Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance
The recurring themes in this issue revolve around the existence and influence of "Space People" or "intelligent beings" from other planets, their purported interventions in human affairs (such as destroying the Russian rocket and healing individuals), and their role in guiding humanity towards a better future. A strong emphasis is placed on the "Flying Saucer Movement" as a vehicle for public education and societal transformation. The concept of "Prior Choice Economics" is presented as a radical, utopian solution to all of Earth's problems, promising abundance, peace, and spiritual advancement. The editorial stance is one of advocating for a paradigm shift in human consciousness and action, driven by information from extraterrestrial sources and a belief in a "Divine Plan" for Earth's evolution. There is a clear undercurrent of skepticism towards conventional scientific and governmental approaches, with a strong promotion of alternative, spiritually-infused solutions.
This issue of AFSCA WORLD REPORT, dated September-October 1955, focuses on the "Flying Saucer Movement Continued," urging readers to actively participate and contribute to its growth and effectiveness. The magazine emphasizes the need for practical organization, financial support, and cooperation among individuals and groups.
The Flying Saucer Movement
The lead article calls for the Flying Saucer Movement to be placed on a sound and practical business-like basis, akin to any other service-oriented business. It highlights the need for capable individuals to devote full time to the activity and stresses the importance of adequate financial support. AFSCA is presented as an organization actively seeking to realize financial support for its planned projects, aiming to better serve independent research groups and foster cooperative action within the movement. The article references the success of the AFSCA First National Convention in Los Angeles, noting the "cooperative effort of the Space People" in timing a significant sighting and the resulting dissemination of news, which created new interest and public acceptance. It suggests that if large numbers of people can cooperate, even seemingly impossible accomplishments can be achieved.
Readers are encouraged to spread awareness about the "space people" and AFSCA, and to support flying saucer group activities with their time, talent, money, and influence. AFSCA is working on a promotional kit to help independent research groups improve their public relations. The article stresses the need for more cooperative effort among groups and contactees, with less criticism, recognizing that all things may seem ridiculous until one's awareness expands.
Organizations and better organization are deemed necessary to take advantage of support from the "Space People" when offered. The issue urges readers to join AFSCA as individual members or affiliates, emphasizing that this does not detract from a group's independent status but enables AFSCA to serve each group more effectively. Joining AFSCA is presented as a way to gain more influence, receive the monthly AFSCA WORLD REPORT magazine, and support the movement's goals.
The article continues by stating that the Space People will not save humanity if people are too lazy or selfish. It posits that the "big, all important, question of today" is not the existence of Space People or flying saucers, but the survival of mankind and its destiny among the cosmos. The author claims to know how to achieve "idealistic conditions" through a "Prior Choice system of economics" and calls for cooperation among sincere, honest, and intelligent people willing to make personal sacrifices.
It suggests that ancient prophecies are being fulfilled, with "Angels" in the skies and "The Time of the End" at hand, indicated by natural phenomena and increased contact with "Spacemen" who are ready to help fulfill promises. The Flying Saucer Movement and AFSCA need active participation and support, as do the "Space People" to effectively help mankind. The author guarantees that with this combined effort, their goals will be achieved, and the future of the world rests in the hands of those with specialized information and knowledge.
Could Be Department
This section reports that Soviet scientists claimed a Martian spaceship crashed in Siberia 51 years ago, near Yenesel on June 30, 1908. Moscow radio stated the crash occurred when the ship braked too hard, causing an explosion that devastated acres of forest land. Professor Fred Hoyle of Cambridge expressed doubt about the story, citing the difficulty for Western scientists to verify such claims in Russia.
The Dick Miller Story
This installment of "The Dick Miller Story" recounts Miller receiving plans for an electronic apparatus in his mailbox, which he and other engineers identified. The plans included the word "MASAR," later confirmed to mean Mars in an ancient language. Miller intended to build the apparatus, noting that some engineering concepts were alien to current technology and that modifications were needed due to unavailable electronic parts. He aimed to create a light beam transmitter and receiver before receiving another radio message.
Monka and Murku Speak
This section features messages from two "Space Beings": MURKU, a Venusian scientist, and MONKA, a Martian of high position. MURKU describes a therapeutic device that uses "actinic light" and "primary light filters" to adjust "unbalance" in the human body, polarizing electronic cell nature for improved health and well-being. He assures that there is no danger of overexposure.
MONKA addresses questions about why the Space People have not contacted those in positions of authority. He states that world leaders have been contacted, but some chose to ignore the offers, thus keeping their people ignorant. MONKA explains that power, particularly through a monetary system, controls Earth's people. He suggests that the withholding of verification of their presence might be due to governments fearing the impact of universal, free energy sources on their power and financial systems. He implies that if unlimited power were known to be available, it would shake the economic system to its core, causing a huge financial loss. MONKA confirms that the Confederation has made such offers and that some of their craft are in government possession, with knowledge of their power.
MONKA continues, stating that governments might be manufacturing crafts to convince people they are seeing experimental government projects. He questions if governments would misuse this power for destruction or profit, and asserts that the Space People would not allow it. He explains that they are contacting the people of Earth directly, rather than world leaders who are "pawns to factions, parties, and interests." The goal is the enlightenment of Earth's people and the presentation of truth. MONKA asks readers not to believe him but to be sincere and believe in truth and love, letting their intelligence guide them.
Prophecy or Fallacy
An editor's note introduces a prophecy received nine years prior by "Avicula de Monte Abnoba." The prophecy foretells a disastrous earthquake causing the coastal land between Santa Monica and Redondo Beach, and the harbor area, to sink into the ocean in three distinct shocks. It also predicts Los Angeles will get a new harbor. The editor notes the instability of cliffs in the Santa Monica area and difficulties around Long Beach, posing the question of whether the prediction will come true.
Subscription Information and Events
The back cover includes a subscription offer for AFSCA WORLD REPORT and AFSCA membership for $3.00, providing 12 issues of the magazine. Contact information for Amalgamated Flying Saucer Clubs of America, Inc. in Los Angeles is provided. The issue also lists upcoming events, including the Interplanetary Convention at Des Moines, Iowa, from October 30 to November 1, 1959, with "WORLD SHAKING ANNOUNCEMENT" and visits to other planets disclosed. It also lists lectures by Gloria Lee and meetings of the Inglewood Understanding Unit, featuring talks by Daniel W. Fry and Ralph R. Huffman.
Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance
The recurring themes in this issue are the need for organized action and cooperation within the Flying Saucer Movement, the potential for advanced technology and knowledge from "Space People," and the critique of Earth's economic and power structures. The editorial stance is one of urgency and a call to action, emphasizing that humanity's survival and destiny depend on its willingness to embrace truth, cooperate, and make sacrifices. There is a strong undercurrent of belief in extraterrestrial intelligence and their benevolent intentions, contrasted with the perceived self-serving and corrupt nature of human governments and financial systems. The issue also incorporates elements of prophecy and claims of direct communication with non-human entities.
Our job as a movement then, is primarily one of mass public education to correct man's folly through ignorance.
