Summary

Overview

This issue of Weekly R.M.'s Look-See urgently appeals for contributions to NICAP, warning of the consequences if the organization falters. It highlights Richard Ogden's claim that astronaut Glenn's 'firefly' particles prove George Adamski's contactee claims, and announces Ogden's forthcoming book. The issue also includes a partial list of alliance member-groups and reprints several UFO news articles detailing sightings in Woburn, Chadron, Iroquois Falls, Caracas, Auburn, and Hackensack.

Magazine Overview

Title: WEEKLY R.M.'S LOOK-SEE
Issue: Volume 3, Number 3
Date: April 9, 1962
Publisher: UFO Information Exchange Alliance
Country: USA
Language: English

This issue of the Weekly R.M.'s Look-See, published by the UFO Information Exchange Alliance, is dedicated to fostering better understanding and cooperation among UFO groups. The publication aims to serve as a central hub for information and news within the UFO community.

Urgent Appeal for NICAP Contributions

The lead story, marked with an "URGENT!!" headline, addresses a critical situation regarding contributions to NICAP (National Investigations Committee on Aerial Phenomena), described as the world's leading UFO investigative organization. The editorial expresses concern that the majority of alliance members are not taking the appeal for contributions seriously. It warns that if NICAP were to 'go under,' serious UFO investigation would effectively end. Members are urged to send contributions immediately to NICAP at their Washington D.C. address, or to the alliance headquarters for forwarding.

Ogden Claims Glenn Particles Prove Adamski's Claims

This section reports on claims made by Mr. Richard Ogden, a UFO investigator. In a recent "press release," Ogden asserted that tiny "firefly" particles observed by astronaut Glenn during an Earth orbit prove the validity of contactee George Adamski's claims. Ogden points out that in 1955, Adamski described a similar phenomenon in his book, "Inside the Spaceships," attributing it to a Venusian space ship. Ogden also used this press release to announce his forthcoming book, "The Case for George Adamski's Contacts with Flying Saucers," scheduled for release in July 1962.

Partial List of Alliance Members

Due to a lack of news this week, the magazine devotes the remainder of the issue to a partial list of alliance member-groups. This list is intended to be continued in future issues. The listed groups and their directors include:

  • C.I.R.A.P.: Wayne Marcaccini, Director, Box 57, Iroquois Falls, Ontario, Canada.

UFO's in the News (Reprinted Articles)

The following articles are reprinted from the Weekly Research Magazine's Look-See, published by ROAP on behalf of the UFO Information Exchange Alliance:

Jets Chase UFO Over Woburn

On January 20, a hovering orange-colored cigar-shaped UFO was reported over Woburn, Massachusetts, at 5:00 A.M. The object was pursued by a number of jets. (Referenced from Look-See volume 3, number 1).

Strange Fibers From UFO

Mr. Theodore Goff reported sighting a UFO on his farm in Chadron, Nebraska, last November. After the object shot over his property, a filmy residue was discovered. Other reports of similar material were made by people in the vicinity of the Goff farm. The weather bureau could not explain the event. (Referenced from Look-See volume 2, number 2).

Goff Object Still Unexplained

An object sighted by Theodore Goff flying over his farm on November 8th remains unexplained. The fine residue left by the object has completely disappeared, despite Goff's efforts to preserve it. The USAF had an opportunity to investigate before the material vanished but has not released any reports of their findings. Goff is quoted as saying, "I have a feeling that they know what it's all about and just aren't saying anything."

CIRAP Reports: UFO Sighted in Iroquois Falls

On February 7, 1962, Arnold Beaton sighted an orange, round-shaped UFO in Iroquois Falls, Canada. He described seeing a huge, round 'ball' over his garage upon returning home at midnight. His wife and a neighbor also witnessed the object, which moved northwards after approximately five minutes. Authorities could not provide a plausible explanation.

BULLETIN: February 11, 1962

At Humboldt Planetarium in Caracas, Venezuela, staff member Carlos Pineda sighted a bright UFO moving at high altitude, appearing to head "towards the moon." Pineda was alerted by citizens who had observed a group of UFOs flying east to west between 4:00 and 6:00 P.M. Pineda was unable to follow the UFO with a telescope but stated, "There is no doubt... that a body giving off a brilliant light was moving at a great altitude." The sighting was confirmed by the newspaper "El Universal" and reported in NICAP's publication, "The UFO Investigator."

Policemen Sight UFO Through Binoculars

On January 7, 1962, at 8:00 P.M., two policemen in Auburn, California, observed an unidentified flying object. Officer James Stokes reported seeing six rays of light emanating from the object through binoculars. The sighting occurred after Mr. and Mrs. Harry Jenson had reported seeing the object to the sheriff's office.

IBFS Reports: UFO Over Hackensack

On February 12, at 6:55 P.M., Jon Nove reported sighting an orange disc in Hackensack, New Jersey. The object was described as flying from north to southeast at approximately 5 miles per hour, weaving erratically through a clear sky. Some stars were visible during the sighting.

(Editors Note: The issue concludes with an editor's note questioning the significance of the number of orange-colored UFO sightings reported).

Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance

The recurring themes in this issue are UFO sightings, the need for organized investigation and cooperation among UFO groups, and the potential impact of funding on investigative efforts. The editorial stance is one of urgency regarding the support of NICAP and a commitment to reporting UFO news and claims, such as those made by Richard Ogden regarding George Adamski. The publication also serves as a directory for various UFO research organizations.

If we allow NICAP, the world's leading UFO Investigative organization, to go under, serious investigation will completely, for all practical purposes, end!
