Magazine Overview
This document is the 11th bulletin from The Kalamazoo Flying Saucer Study Club, dated September 1957. It serves as a newsletter providing updates on club activities, related UFO news, and resources for enthusiasts.
Meeting Announcement
The bulletin announces the next meeting of The Kalamazoo Flying Saucer Study Club, scheduled for Friday, September 27, 1957, at 8:00 P.M. The meeting will take place in the conference room of the First National Bank, located at the Crosstown Parkway Branch. No specific program has been set, but the organizers suggest that 'anything can happen.' Additionally, a small telescope may be set up in the parking lot after the meeting, weather permitting.
Saucer Radio Network
A new initiative, the Saucer Radio Network, is now in operation on Sundays. Composed of amateur radio operators, the network meets at 2:00 P.M. EDST on the 7280 (40 meters) KC frequency. K8BIZ serves as the net control station. Participants discuss various topics related to UFOs, including sightings, books on the subject, and even mental telepathy. The bulletin suggests that anyone with a shortwave receiver in the eastern part of the country could likely pick up the transmissions.
New Pamphlet Available
An upcoming pamphlet, compiled by John McCoy, is announced as available soon. This mimeographed collection of articles will be offered to the public and club members for 10 cents each. The pamphlet features reprints of the famous 1952 LIFE Magazine article that concluded flying saucers are from space, a summary of the last ten years of saucer history, and a letter from Major Wayne Aho requesting that censorship on the saucer issue be dropped.
Notes and Federation News
The bulletin includes a section for 'Notes.' One note mentions that the last issue of 'Flying Saucers from Other Worlds' contained a review of the Detroit Convention of the Federation. The author expresses a desire to see this issue if anyone in Kalamazoo received it, as they apparently did not.
A quote from the MICH. F. S. FEDERATION Newsletter #2352, dated September 18th, is included. It states that Michigan UFO groups are resuming activities after a summer lull. The quote explains that summer vacations and warm weather diverted the attention of many enthusiasts from UFOs to travel and tourism. The months of June, July, and August saw a noticeable 'lull' in the activities of most saucer clubs, with some groups using the summer weather for excursions, outdoor meetings, and skywatches. However, the approach of Fall is expected to bring a renewed interest in spacecraft, saucer books, and group meetings, with members warming up to their 'fierile ahjoots' over coffee or a 'tassel of' (text illegible).
Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance
The bulletin reflects the active community of UFO enthusiasts in Kalamazoo and the surrounding regions. It highlights the importance of communication (radio network), information dissemination (pamphlets, newsletters), and community gatherings (meetings). The mention of censorship and the desire for open discussion suggest a stance advocating for greater transparency and investigation into the UFO phenomenon. The overall tone is informative and community-focused, aiming to keep members updated and engaged.
