Title: THE RESEARCH MAGAZINE'S LOOK-SEE
Issue: 1
Volume: UUA PUBLICATION
Date: October 26, 1963
Publisher: United UFOlogical Association
Editor: Allen Greenfield
This issue of Look-See, published irregularly by the United UFOlogical Association, focuses on unusual phenomena including unexplained skyfalls and a mysterious underwater encounter.
Skyfalls Again Make News
The magazine reports on two distinct skyfall incidents. The first occurred in Dartford, England, on August 29, 1963, where a 'storm' of straw fell from the sky for approximately an hour. Residents, including Joyace Hyams, described the event as baffling. A police spokesman stated, "We are baffled," and a representative from the government meteorological service expressed being "mystified," noting it was not what had been forecast.
The second report, from the Soviet newspaper Izvestia, details a mysterious chunk of ice that fell near Moscow during August 1963 out of a clear sky. Scientists are convinced the ice, weighing about 11 pounds, did not drop from an airplane. Although it broke into fragments upon impact, the pieces were preserved. A bulletin clarifies that the report date was August 27, 1963, meaning the two skyfalls occurred within two days of each other. Sources for these reports include Jack Dale Bartlett of ASI-URCU-AP.
Sub or Submerged Saucer?
On August 10, 1963, the 90-foot dragger RESOLUTE arrived in Portland, Maine, with a startling report. Skipper Capt. John Larson stated that on August 9th, the boat nearly capsized when an unidentified underwater object became tangled in the vessel's nets. Larson and his crew had to cut thousands of dollars worth of net to save the boat. The crew informed the Coast Guard that the vessel had been towed backward and nearly submerged by the object. They speculated it could be either a submarine or a huge whale. However, the Navy stated they had no submarines in the area at that time. The source for this report is the Boston Globe-UPI.
Notes
The publication "Look-See," which was previously published weekly, will now be published on an irregular basis, depending on the quantity of material received. Readers are encouraged to send all news items to Look-See at 2875 Sequoyah Drive, N.W., Atlanta 27, Georgia. The magazine notes that scattered reports of a significant "flap" of skyfalls have been reaching its desk since July and are ongoing, urging readers to report any similar incidents.
Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance
This issue of Look-See highlights the magazine's focus on unexplained aerial and underwater phenomena. The editorial stance appears to be one of reporting unusual events and seeking explanations, often quoting official bafflement ("We are baffled," "We are mystified"). The publication encourages reader participation in reporting sightings, indicating a community-driven approach to collecting data on UFO and related incidents. The shift to irregular publication suggests a focus on quality and quantity of credible reports over a fixed schedule.
