Summary

Overview

This issue of Weekly R.M.'s Look-See reports on several UFO-related events. A new chapter in the UFO mystery involves unidentified flying objects appearing on film from an X-15 experimental flight, described as disc-shaped or cylindrical. The Hawk Research Society is investigating claims of 'spacepeople' footprints, with their president suggesting a contactee may have faked an incident. Additionally, a witness in Ottumwa, Iowa, reported sighting a tailless, swept-wing aircraft. The publication also clarifies directorships of CORAP and ROAP, refuting claims made in FLYING SAUCERS MAGAZINE.

Magazine Overview

This issue of WEEKLY R.M.'S LOOK-SEE, Volume 4, Number 3, dated May 25, 1962, is printed by the UFO Information Exchange Alliance in Atlanta, Georgia. The magazine focuses on UFO reports and related phenomena.

CORAP & ROAP Director Clarification

The publication addresses a statement made in FLYING SAUCERS MAGAZINE, clarifying the directorships of CORAP and ROAP. It states that Alan Katz is neither director of CORAP nor ROAP. Tom Roark is identified as the director of CORAP, while Allen Greenfield is the director of ROAP.

X-15 Photos UFOs

A new development in the UFO mystery involves unidentified flying objects captured on film during a recent record-breaking rocket-powered flight of the X-15 experimental plane. Five or six such objects were observed on the film. The pilot, Joe Walker, reported seeing no objects himself, but described the film images as "disc-shaped or perhaps cylindrical." The magazine expresses hope that these photos will not be confiscated by the Air Force. It notes that Walker is the third 'spaceman' to report mystery objects in the upper atmosphere, following Glenn and Titov, who reported 'firefly' particles.

Hawk Research Society Reports on Todd Contact

Mr. Robert Todd, who claims to have contacted 'spacepeople,' is now considered to have faked the incident, according to Harry Siebert, president of the Hawk Research Society (H.R.S.). The H.R.S. is currently investigating reported 'footprints of these spacepeople.'

IBFS Reports: Tailless Airplane Sighted Over Ottumwa

On April 25, 1962, Mrs. Meryl Johnson reported sighting a strange object in the skies of Ottumwa, Iowa, while driving her car. The object was described as a tailless 'airplane with swept-back wings' and approached her from the Northeast, heading Southwest. The incident occurred at approximately 4:00 P.M.

Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance

The magazine consistently reports on UFO sightings, photographic evidence, and alleged contactee experiences. The editorial stance appears to be one of open inquiry into UFO phenomena, with a critical eye towards official explanations (as seen in the hope that X-15 photos won't be confiscated) and a desire to clarify information within the UFO community (as demonstrated by the CORAP/ROAP director statement). There is an emphasis on reporting witness accounts and findings from various research organizations.

It is Look-See's hope that these photos will not be confiscated by the Air Force.
