Key Articles and Reports

Saucer, Space and Science Joins Alliance Gene Duplantier, Editor of the publication SAUCERS, SPACE AND SCIENCE, has joined the UFO Information Exchange Alliance. Negotiations with other groups are reportedly in progress.

CBA Plans Experiment: Cooperation Urged The CBA of Japan has announced plans for an experiment related to contacting UFOs, seeking urgent cooperation from all "saucer enthusiasts" and investigators. The experiment is scheduled for June 24th, the fifteenth anniversary of the Kenneth Arnold sighting. Participants are asked to "keep their conscious thoughts on saucers" and "heighten their sense of awareness." Observers are also requested to "keep a 'keen eye' out for the saucers" on that date, with the initiative being described as "the greatest world-wide telepathy experiment in history."

Todd Claims Contact with Saucers Mr. Robert Todd claims to have made contact with "saucer people" several months prior to the publication date. The incident occurred around 3:00 A.M. when Todd went to his kitchen in Pomona, California, for water. He observed a glow over the trees and, upon investigating, saw a saucer hovering. A man, described as wearing a black, one-piece uniform with stars over the heart, was seen drawing on the ground. The "man" looked up and beckoned to Todd. This reported contact is noted as being similar to one made by George Adamski in 1952 and is currently being investigated by the Hawk Research Society.

1st Saucer Foto-Behind Bamboo Curtain The magazine BROTHERS, in its recent first issue, announced the discovery of two UFO photos taken by engineer Chan Ching-lai on October 28th, 1961. The photos reportedly show a black, elongated UFO with a faint gray mist or glow. This is stated to be the first case on record of a Red Chinese UFO photo being taken, with no further details available.

Salisbury Warns Cautious Mars Landing Dr. Frank Salisbury of Colorado State University cautions Earthlings to be wary of landing instruments on Mars, suggesting it may be inhabited by intelligent beings. He speculates that life is possible on Mars based on known conditions. Dr. Salisbury also suggests that the two Martian satellites, Deimos and Phobos, might be artificial, potentially launched between 1862 and 1877. He posits that UFOs could have originated from Mars, representing a stage of space travel that Martians might have completed over 75 years prior to Earth's current stage.

Second Closest Star May Have Planet Dr. Peter Van DeKamp reported that Barnard's star, the second closest star to our sun, may have an unseen companion that could be a planet or a cool dark star. A determination is expected within one to five years.

Are UFO's Mapping Earth? An article in the January, 1962, AUSTRALIAN FLYING SAUCER REVIEW reported that UFOs might be mapping the Earth. This possibility was reportedly supported by observations from Soviet Union and United States Astro/Cosmonauts. The article cited a leading astronomer from Kenya who stated that "(visitors from outer space) were steadily mapping every part of our Earth."

Artist's Conception The issue includes an artist's conception of the UFO seen by Rev. William Gill over New Guinea in June 1959, depicting an exchange of hand signals between Rev. Gill, natives, and the craft's occupants.

Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance

The publication consistently focuses on UFO sightings, alleged extraterrestrial contact, and scientific speculation regarding space and potential alien life. The editorial stance appears to be one of open inquiry and information sharing within the UFO community, encouraging participation in experiments and investigations. There is a clear interest in documenting photographic evidence and personal accounts of encounters, as well as exploring scientific theories about extraterrestrial possibilities, particularly concerning Mars and other celestial bodies.
