Uganda UFO Called Meteor

The lead story details an event in Kampala, Uganda, on August 9, 1962. A large unidentified flying object, observed late at night on Tuesday, August 7th, is now believed by meteorological and geological officials to have been a gigantic meteorite. An American observer, Consul-General Hendrik Van Oss, described the UFO as emitting a 'greenish-blue light' and stated that it 'appeared' to 'break up' as it traversed the sky. Further details were unavailable at the time of reporting. The source for this report is the San Diego Union, Thursday, August 9, 1962.

Mosley Appears on National Television

This section reports on James Mosley, Editor of SAUCER NEWS, appearing on the NBC daytime quiz program 'Play Your Hunch' on August 21, 1962. The contestants were asked to guess which of three individuals was giving a true explanation of the term 'angel hair.' Mosley, identified as 'Z,' was guessed immediately. He subsequently provided a brief explanation of 'angel hair' in relation to UFOs. During the program, M.C. Richard Hayes questioned Mosley about his belief in UFOs. Mosley stated that he did not believe all stories but did believe some were true. Hayes concurred, expressing belief in 'saucers' and finding the idea of Earth having exclusive life absurd. The segment concluded with applause from the studio audience. The source cited is Allen Greenfield, ROAP.

World Fair City Has Two Day Flap

This article details a significant UFO 'flap' in Seattle, Washington, experienced over two days, July 31 and August 1, 1962. The report, condensed from the Washington State NICAP Subcommittee, lists multiple sightings:

• July 31, 1962:
• 11:28 PM: Pinpoint-sized green light with a streak behind it, moving directly overhead from West to East.
• 11:30 PM: White streak, visible for approximately 1 second, moving East to West.
• 11:34 PM: White light, fast, visible for 2 seconds, moving South to North.
• 11:43 PM: White light, fast, moving West to Southeast, observed for 2-3 minutes. Described as 'Like Echo,' but Echo had passed out of sight to the Southeast around 11:29 PM.
• 11:57 PM: White light, moving Southeast to Northwest, fast, visible for 2 seconds.

• August 1, 1962:
• 12:07 AM: White streak, moving East to West, visible for one or two seconds.
• 12:18 AM: White light, fast, seen in the upper 1/3 of the sky, visible for 2 seconds.
• 12:20 AM: White light, streaking South to North across the sky, visible for 2-3 seconds.
• 12:30 AM: White light, shooting Northeast to Southwest, visible for about 4 seconds.
• 12:47 AM: White light, moving fast, South to North, visible for 2-3 seconds.
• 12:49 AM: Blinking white light, described as moving about twice the speed of 'Echo,' passed directly overhead headed West to East, visible for 3 to 4 minutes.
• 12:58 AM: Sky flash, moving Northeast to Southwest.
• 1:00 AM: White streak with a light ahead of it, described as the size of a pea held at arm's length, moving West to East. (Note: Echo was reportedly heading West to East at 1:31 AM and descending in the Southeast when this object was sighted.)
• 3:00 AM (or shortly after): A 'moving star' observed moving slowly in the Southwest sky. It suddenly stopped, moved straight down, then straight up again, and then back to the Northeast. This object was visible for about 10 minutes from the South end of Seattle.

The article concludes by stating that during a period of less than 4 hours on the night of July 31st, 14 sightings (including several 'good ones') were made and reported.

News Notes

The 'News Notes' section extends congratulations to Ed Babcock Jr. and his crew on the first anniversary of the formation of the New Jersey Association of Aerial Phenomena (NJAAP), wishing them luck. Readers are also reminded to send news items to Look-See at their Atlanta, Georgia address, and to credit Look-See for any material used.

Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance

The recurring themes in this issue are UFO sightings, official explanations (or lack thereof), media coverage of UFO phenomena, and the reporting of UFO events by civilian organizations like NICAP. The editorial stance appears to be one of reporting on these events and appearances, providing sources, and encouraging reader participation in submitting news. The magazine seems to cover a range of UFO-related activities, from international sightings to national television appearances and localized 'flaps.' The inclusion of the 'News Notes' section suggests an effort to connect with and acknowledge other groups in the field.
