Magazine Overview

Title: FLYING SAUCERS INTERNATIONAL
Issue: No. 25
Date: July, 1967
Publisher: Amalgamated Flying Saucer Clubs of America, Inc. (AFSCA)
Editor: Gabriel Green
Cover Headline: FLYING SAUCERS

This issue of "Flying Saucers International" is the official journal of the Amalgamated Flying Saucer Clubs of America, Inc. (AFSCA), a non-profit organization dedicated to the physical, spiritual, and economic emancipation of man. The magazine is published quarterly and costs $3.00 for six issues, with a separate membership fee of $1.00.

Editorial: Gabriel Blows His Horn!

Editor Gabriel Green opens the issue by reporting a surge in UFO sightings, landings, and in-person contacts with 'Flying Saucer occupants' worldwide. He attributes this to the 'Space People's' plan to gradually increase public awareness of their existence, despite efforts by officialdom to suppress the truth. Green notes a proliferation of saucer-related literature, with over 20 pocket books and numerous magazine articles appearing, indicating the commercial viability of the subject. He highlights special publications from Dell, Fawcett, and Look-UPI, which sold millions of copies.

Green emphasizes that while many articles cover the elementary aspects of the saucer subject, they often omit contactee reports. He asserts that understanding the Flying Saucer subject requires direct communication with the occupants. As the world's largest contactee-oriented organization, AFSCA seeks support to disseminate vital information from the Space People that other publications will not print.

The editor apologizes for the delay in publication, attributing it to a significant financial loss from AFSCA's national convention in Reno the previous July. Despite this setback, AFSCA has seen growth, with 33 new units formed, bringing the total to 78, and new saucer photos and re-recorded 'Space Tapes' becoming available.

AFSCA is presented not just as a magazine publisher but as a movement aiming to improve the world through the combined efforts of thousands of sincere people working in unity. To support this movement, AFSCA has introduced five new membership classifications: Regular ($1.00), Associate ($10.00), Contributing ($50.00), Sustaining ($100.00), and Life ($500.00 or more). These memberships are perpetual, with cards automatically upgraded as total donations accumulate.

Green states that the Space People have a unique plan for planetary salvation, and AFSCA's work is vital in helping Earth enter the 'Interplanetary Era.' Support for AFSCA is seen as a way to hasten the day when the reality of Flying Saucers and their mission is known, leading to a 'bright new world of tomorrow.'

The Bob Renaud Story (Part 31)

This installment continues the account of Bob Renaud's experiences with the Korendians, detailing a third in-person contact and a visit to an underground base on December 28, 1963, in Massachusetts.

Third In-Person Contact – Massachusetts Base Visit

Renaud recounts being contacted telepathically at 4:00 A.M. by Orii-Val, who instructed him to be ready to meet them at 5:00 A.M. at his home. Renaud was denied permission to bring his camera and recorder. Orii-Val informed him that Darrin-Sen would be waiting in a white Plymouth, the same car used in a previous landing.

I Meet My Duplicate!

At 4:59 A.M., Renaud went outside and saw the Plymouth arrive. To his astonishment, a man emerged from the car who was his exact duplicate. This 'double' was introduced as a substitute who would impersonate Renaud during his absence, ensuring his parents would not worry. Renaud was amazed that even his dogs did not recognize the difference.

The double explained he had studied Renaud's actions and could react identically. He was equipped with a 'Transciever' for immediate contact with the base.

Space Car Parked in Huge Underground Garage

Renaud and Orii-Val then traveled to a clearing where Orii-Val's craft was hovering. They were joined by Gery-Sol and a stranger named Arel Lon, a Terratologist from the RK-11 spaceship. They flew to another clearing where Orii-Val contacted 'Base Control' to request entry into 'landing area 4.' Upon receiving a code name ('Caltron 6'), the ground opened up to reveal an H-shaped crack, from which two large doors swung upwards, forming a box-shaped structure to keep out snow and prevent animals from falling in.

We Enter the Base on Automated Conveyor Belt

They descended through the opening into a vast underground area. After passing through a dematerializing door, they entered a long, mile-long tunnel illuminated by a glowing strip on the ceiling. They then rode a fast conveyor belt to a stall in a huge underground garage where numerous craft were parked. Renaud observed Orii-Val's ship being refueled using a hose connected to a panel, with his 'Universal Economics credit card' being used for payment.

We Get a Security Check

They proceeded to a security check area, where Renaud had to sign a form using a special magnetic ink pen. He was then given a card with his photo, code name, and numbers, serving as his pass to most facilities.

'Ageless Life' is Painting of Ideal Man

Renaud was captivated by a painting on the wall depicting an ideal man, embodying masculinity and femininity, with eyes expressing love and compassion. He learned it represented the ideal human, one with the Universe, living in awareness and joy.

3-D Color TV Monitors

He observed 3-D color TV monitors displaying views of the base, including the hangar and a distant sign that could be zoomed in on for clarity.

Communications Room

Next, they visited the Communications Room, which served as the planet's direct link to Korendor, Arcturia, and other Alliance Worlds. Renaud learned how communications with 'Masters' on other worlds were established and relayed.

Base Control Room Has Dematerializing Doors

Renaud was taken to the Base Control Room, where he witnessed dematerializing doors. He was impressed by the room's extensive computer systems, flashing lights, and the efficiency of the clerical staff.

We Get a Security Check

Upon entering a small room for a security check, Renaud was asked to sign a form with magnetic ink. He received a pass card, which he was instructed to keep secret.

'Ageless Life' is Painting of Ideal Man

Renaud was drawn to a painting on the wall, described as the 'Ageless Life' painting, which he recognized from George Adamski's accounts. It depicted an ideal being, embodying both masculine and feminine qualities, radiating love and compassion.

3-D Color TV Monitors

He observed 3-D color TV monitors that provided real-time views of the base's operations, including the hangar and distant signs, with remarkable clarity.

Communications Room

In the Communications Room, Renaud learned about the base's direct link to other worlds like Korendor and Arcturia, and how communications were relayed across vast distances.

Base Power Station Visited

Renaud was shown the base's power station, a massive room filled with generators, motors, and control boards. He noted its cleanliness and quiet operation, a stark contrast to typical powerhouses. The power source was described as gravity, with half of the rotor shielded from its effects.

Base Control Room Has Dematerializing Doors

At the Base Control Room, Renaud witnessed the principle of dematerialization firsthand as a door simply evaporated. He was shown the base's Central Computer, a vast array of instruments and screens, and the clerical area.

Fabulous Living Quarters Visited

Renaud was then taken to the living quarters, described as resembling a luxurious hotel. The area featured art depicting other worlds, and doors labeled with the names of occupants.

A Rare Privilege – I Meet a Master

In a lounge area, Renaud met Master Kalen-Li, along with Lin-Erri and other previous contacts. He experienced a profound sense of awe and insignificance in the presence of these advanced beings, comparing it to the Apostles meeting Christ.

Master Kalen-Li Speaks

Kalen-Li explained that the facilities shown were only a small part of the base, designed for extensive operations on various worlds. He stated that the operations were conducted on Earth due to the lack of surface-based facilities and the risk of military attack. The undertaking was presented as a means to provide employment and save billions of human lives from extermination.

Kalen-Li discussed the convergence of ideologies on Earth towards a unified government and a single way of life, but noted the persistent danger posed by a 'fanatic element' advocating violence. He praised Dr. Linus Pauling as an example of humanitarianism and true peace through world law.

Linus Pauling Sets Good Example

Kalen-Li highlighted Dr. Linus Pauling's receipt of the Nobel Peace award as an example of courage and dedication to world peace, urging Renaud to embody the same passion and love for mankind.

'By Their Acts Shall They Be Known'

Kalen-Li stressed the importance of leading by example, stating that actions speak louder than words. He advised Renaud to counter war with peace and to practice what he preaches.

Letter From a Little Girl on Korendor

Kalen-Li presented Renaud with a letter from a young girl named Kila-Rae from Korendor. The letter expressed her curiosity about Earth and her desire to understand and love it, questioning if the stories of conflict and lack of love were true. Renaud was deeply moved and decided to craft a thoughtful reply.

Destruction and Warfare is Incomprehensible to Advanced Beings

Kalen-Li expressed his inability to comprehend destruction and warfare, explaining that beings from worlds like Korendor are raised in an environment of love and happiness. He found it difficult to understand how people could live in conflict and disregard Universal Laws. He emphasized that by misusing natural forces, humanity becomes enslaved and forfeits its mastery, leading to deep trouble.

Radical Changes Needed

Kalen-Li concluded by stating that a radical change of philosophy is necessary to reinstate the 'Right and the Good' and allow humanity to once again become the sculptors of their destinies. He suggested that by misusing universal forces, humanity becomes their slaves.

Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance

This issue strongly promotes the idea of extraterrestrial contact as a means for humanity's salvation and advancement. The editorial stance is clearly pro-contactee, advocating for direct communication with 'Space People' and disseminating their messages of peace and unity. The magazine positions itself as a vital source of information not available elsewhere, aiming to foster a global movement towards a harmonious 'Interplanetary Era.' The narrative emphasizes the superiority of extraterrestrial societies in terms of peace, technology, and societal structure, contrasting them with the perceived conflicts and limitations of Earth. The recurring theme is the urgent need for humanity to embrace peace, love, and universal laws to overcome self-destruction and achieve a higher state of existence, guided by extraterrestrial wisdom.

This issue of Flying Saucer magazine, dated November 1967, continues the "Bob Renaud Story" with a detailed account of his interactions with extraterrestrial beings referred to as Korendians. The magazine also features a "News in Brief" section covering UFO conventions, new AFSCA units, and significant statements regarding UFOs. It includes photographic evidence and discusses the implications of UFO phenomena.

The Bob Renaud Story (Cont'd)

The narrative continues with Bob Renaud's encounter with a wise being who speaks of mastering atomic power and the need to work with nature. The being emphasizes that true understanding and new forms of energy are inaccessible while one lives in a state of fear and against nature. The conversation concludes with a farewell, with the being stating, "Till then, va i luce (go in light)."

Following this profound exchange, Renaud chats with a Korendian named Lin-Erri, described as having sparkling blue eyes and blonde hair. She explains her function as a psychologist. The experience is described as fascinating, lasting 7 1/2 hours, though it felt like only minutes.

Renaud reluctantly returns home, with Lin-Erri sharing insights about future contacts. The story sets up a future article titled "I Visit An Undersea Base Via Teleportation!"

U.N. Secretary General U Thant Says UFO's Are 2nd Most Important World Problem

This article reports that U.N. Secretary General U Thant considers UFOs a major global concern, second only to the Vietnam War. He has been receiving reports from U.N. delegates about the increasing number of UFO flights. Dr. James E. McDonald, Professor of Atmospheric Physics at the University of Arizona, presented a statement to the U.N. Outer Space Affairs Committee on June 7th, urging increased action and investigation into UFOs. Dr. McDonald criticized the U.S. Air Force's Project Bluebook as incompetent and superficial, and revealed that the CIA had a policy to "debunk the Flying Saucers to decrease the public interest in them."

"The Stranger at the Pentagon"

A new book by Dr. Frank E. Stranges is mentioned, detailing his alleged encounter with a Venusian named Val Thor in the Pentagon in December 1959. The book includes photos and is available for $3.98.

"100 Questions and Answers"

George Adamski's booklets are available for $1.00.

UFO Information Retrieval Center

This center has published "160 Outstanding UFO Sighting Reports" for $5.95.

The Great Northeast Power Blackout

This section, presented as an explanation from the Korendians (Orii-Val), details their alleged role in the massive power blackout of November 9, 1965. They claim responsibility, stating their purposes were to:

1. Highlight the danger to national security and industrial strength.
2. Generate public outcry for changes by causing inconvenience.
3. Demonstrate their own strength and capabilities.

Orii-Val explains that the power grid's complexity and the interconnectedness of power stations created a vulnerability. They describe how their ships were stationed over critical points and, by manipulating the grid through their advanced technology, they caused circuit breakers to trip, leading to a cascading failure. They emphasize that no one died and that all medical and emergency facilities had their own power, thus deeming the action an "unqualified success."

The Korendians also offer suggested remedies for preventing future blackouts, including:

• Putting all switching under computer control for instant response.
• Ensuring computers are interconnected so no two stations switch onto a third simultaneously.
• Installing back-up emergency services.
• Monitoring every conductor and breaker to instantly isolate faults.
• Ensuring no unit is indispensable and has alternate routes.
• Keeping all equipment in top condition.

The Dan Fry Saucer Photos

The magazine presents photographic evidence of Flying Saucers, featuring 16mm color motion picture film taken by Dr. Daniel W. Fry. The article notes that initial prints were blotchy but have been retouched. AFSCA now offers two sets of Black and White glossy prints (4" x 5") for $1.00 per set. The photos show craft hovering over trees near Merlin, Oregon, and near Joshua Tree, California. The article highlights the apparent rotation of the craft and a brilliant light on its edge, suggesting it's a power discharge rather than a reflection. The dark areas are theorized to represent negative polarity and the light areas positive polarity, potentially offering clues to the electromagnetic propulsion system.

The article challenges readers to deny the authenticity of these photos, distinguishing them from blurry images of everyday objects.

Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance

The magazine consistently promotes the existence of UFOs and extraterrestrial intelligence, advocating for greater public awareness and investigation. The editorial stance appears to be one of challenging official narratives and government secrecy, particularly concerning UFO phenomena. There's a strong emphasis on contactees and their experiences, as well as the belief that UFOs represent a significant, perhaps even critical, aspect of human existence and future development. The magazine actively promotes organizations like AFSCA and provides resources for readers to engage further with the subject matter.
